Thanks to the MosBees for bringing this to our attention. We checked this cache and appears to be buried under the very large fallen tree, so it's time to archive it.
A quick stop here, great to find this oldie.
Got up early this morning and headed south to collect a few caches before an event in mount barker around lunch time. A good morning out with 65 finds in total.

We quickly identified GZ but when we didn't find the cache, we widened the search area and soon had the cache in hand. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Team Jeckyl for the hide.
Out with Aussie Mary grabbing a few more caches to help my planet pursuit collection. Some were a little harder than others but we had a great time as usual

#2885 A beautiful area through here, reminds of us a bit of our part of the world in north east Vic. Didn't encounter any natives thankfully, the logbook is indeed very damp and mouldy but we managed to engrave our name on it. TFTC team Jeckyl.
The log is saturated and needs replacing, sorry we didn't have anything with us.
Found it with CherryRose after lunch in Macclesfield. TFTC TNLNSL Log saturated
Found out with Beary Organised on lovely sunny day. TFTC TNLNSL Log very wet needs replacing. Got stabbed by Yakka
A mob of roos across the paddock, they looked as if they were drying off after the big winter wet, only wish the log book had as well. : )
Thanks for the hide.
The geobride went shopping, so I went geocaching - found this one and signed the log - log book soaked and very difficult to sign
I was wondering where the cache name came from but now I know, found with BONES.
Tftc. Big storm thru here last couple days. Lots of trees down.
Cache is very wet on inside. Book soaked.

KiwiOzzie spotted this one while I was searching slightly further away. TFTC. 9/07/2016, 11:41 AM Find #2386
Log saturated and didn't have a bag to put it in. Will need some TLC by CO. Nice easy find TFTC 9/07/2016 11:43 am Find #1366
Not the easy 1 out of 5 it was labelled and the photos only serve as herrings, red herrings. It was good to get hunting again after a couple of easy as finds today TFTC
Lovely countryside out here, It was good to have another cache to bring me out this way.

This took a little time to find and the usual reason as always is "always trust your GPS". Eventually got it and had to wonder about the property owners across the road. Sounds like they are hiding something... Took Horse Figure and left Tazo. Number 6 of 6 for the day. Cheers.
30th cache for the day! It's dark, cold and windy and I am keen to get home and have dinner. hevwalker and I have been out since 9.30am and now its after 6pm. Very successful day despite the weather.
Out geocaching on a wet, cold & very windy day with Loulabelle994 doing Strath & Maccy area.
It's dark, everything has to be done by torchlight now and so was the location of this cache. It's cold, wet and windy & getting on for dinnertime but there are just some caches on the way one has to pick up. TFTC Team Jeckyl

Mr Tardis was out this way and stopped by for a quick cache. I searched a couple of wrong places, then found the cache safely tucked away. Some lovely countryside out this way.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Team Jeckyl.

Quick find while in the area doing some cache maintenance with Ismartis in tow. Thanks for making coming down this road all the more purposeful.
Headed out to Meadows on this wet afternoon with Gral4 to do some cache maintenance and pick up a few others. Despite the rain we had a good time and I ended up with 13 caches and only 1 DNF.
Gral4 made the find here.

Over in Mount Barker with Tyred n Cranky for our annual holidays to follow the TDU.
After dropping off Tyred n Cranky in Willunga so they could join in to the BUPA bike ride for the day. I had the job of getting to the finishing line in Mount Barker as I could get some photos of them coming over the finish line. But as that was some time away, I has the morning to cache my way back.
A quick drive up the hill and a quick grab with go co ords. I must say I was impressed with the sign at the paddock across the road.

Didn't have anything to do this afternoon so thought I would go for a drive to Meadows and pick up a few caches along the way. 
The weather wasn't very promising, but what's a little rain. [?] Quite a nice change after the heat of last week. [^]
Had a lovely drive through the hills and the views were great even though it was a bit grey and misty today.
Arrived at GZ and spotted the cache straight away as it was not tucked away. [?] Signed the log and tucked it back in its little home. [^]

We very much enjoyed the scenery while driving around this area today. Finding a few caches made it even nicer. Thanks for bringing us here.
Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.
Currently camped in Kuitpo Forest and coming down with a cold a late start was the order of the day.
Around lunchtime we headed out to Mount Barker to complete some chores and of course find a few caches to keep our geo streak alive.
We saw some nice parkland and took a very scenic route on the way back to the caravan.
So high here on Retort Hill.

A beautiful day for a drive and to find a few geocaches along the way. TFTC Team Jeckyl.
Nice easy find on an afternoon of caching out the back of Mt Barker. Thanks Team Jeckyl
Swapped dino for a horse - we are getting quite a good dino collection now. Loved seeing the foals on the road up and trying to work out what breed they were - so cute!!
For some reason our gps has had us all over the place today! Found myself walking in circles so put gps down and stood back to look. Found quickly then TFTC!
TFTC! There is a very large tree next to this that will come down in the next storm.
It was a magnificent day worthy of a caching trip, but with Mrs M helping a family friend for the day it was up to Mr M to join CPwanderer and brisal5 for a caching trip to Victor Harbor. It was a very enjoyable day in which brisal5 achieved his 3000 milestone.
This was the first of the day. The only way Mr M is going to get a bike to the top of this hill is if it is in the boot. TFTC Team Jeckyl.

Last cache for the day.
After my car chugged up the hill, I quickly saw the sign over the road and knew I was close.
After a short walk, found the cache in the second place I looked.
Swapped a sticker for a quirky aussie icon.
Cheers Team Jeckly

A nice little country drive. There are some beautiful stone buildings in this part of the world and we can't believe how green it is at the moment. TFTC.
finally after finishing putting out some advance notice signs i was able to stop and make a quick grab and after having driven here so many times it was good to get it
