A- Resting Place Victor Harbor, South Australia, Australia

Well..was going to suggest archiving after discovering the first plaque was missing, but it seems it already's been done.

Sentenced to life in jail. Eligible for parole when a new plaque is submitted as bail.

The plaque at the very start now appears to be missing! Couldn't even start off on this one. Seems like both cache and plaque are gone

It seems it has been muggled..... maybe the school muggles mentioned in the last log.

We located the first point of contact, collected some evidence then worked out the calculations (twice), correct both times! Entered new co-ords then off to search for the offender.
We searched for 30mins but time was against us, decided to try again the next day.
Today, we went back to the start rechecked all the calculations, all was correct. We searched for another 30mins, nothing found. We phoned Ajax101 for clues, he confirmed our location is correct.
The offender may have absconded.

Arrived at the first location to find 2 cars pull up looking at GZ, I thought here we go..... cachers...
Turned out to be school kids and teachers on a fact finding mission as they crawled the spot like ants. So I was not so conspicious writing down dates as they were too!!

Did my calculations in the car and approached GZ, with no luck I re caculated, to no avail, searched a nearby park in case my calculations were wrong.

Decided to phone Allchin for advice, yes I was on the right track the first time. After another search I came up with the cache.

Accompanied with Everlasting. Our friend Joan joined us for the day. We found it. It was good hide because we almost missed it. Thanks for the cache.

Found the cache at 5.50pm. Lovely park near river at WP1. No swap. SL. Thanks Wannabe Nomads for organising the cache and hunt.

The final location had us searching for quite a while. This was mainly due to the fact that I looked in the pace where we found it almost immediately on arriving, and didn’t see it . We then proceeded to search in ever increasing circles until Auzee decided to have a woman’s look again in the obvious place! Doh!!!
Last one for the day. No swaps. Cheers Nomads

An interesting multi that is well concealed. Left a felt Teddy and took a Klems mob bear.

Very clever name. Not what I expected. Last one on a great walk on a mild summers day. Took lion and left a dog. Thanks

We really liked the clue, and the themed locations. Took us forever to find, though it shouldn't have been that hard.

Didn't take too long to find where the offender was hidden. TNLN. Thanks Wannabe Nomads

Found the clue and headed for the final. Caz & Liz waited in the car in the reserve while Trev and Bruce went in for an easy find. TNLN. Thanks Wannabe Nomads. The second cache of yours we've found today.

Couldn't find this one, am sure i had the clues right, but at the gz no such luck! Oh well, just must be a realy good hide!

my husband found this as he slipped over, so he literally fell for this one, discovering it getting up. I think he still had wobbly legs from "çaching from the crows nest".
TFTC.

Nice little multi. Couldn't find the 2nd part, then Mrs J checked her maths - oops! Found easily once the correct coords were input.
Cheers and thanks.

Found with Postiegirl during our 2007 Fluro caching blitz.
Not quite where i thought it was going to be at first. I even had a quick look at the area where it was, but PG came up with the goods. An excellent little multi.

Found with BB while caching the Fluro...Enjoyed doing this one...I told BB where it was but he insisted on phoning a friend and moving to a more suitable GZ...PG found it at the original location...TNLNSL TFTC from postiegirl06

Cache number 8 during a caching long weekend. Thanks wannabe's

Cache 4 on our Victor Harbor weekend.
Had a bit of touble with this one. First stage was easy then off to the cache. After saeching for awhile we thought we had been spung as a motor bike went past then turned around and stopped near us. Frightend the daylights out of us as we thought about our excuses to an off duty cop.
Guess what? It was the Nomads stopped to say hello.
Thanks guys for your help and a couple of clues on using another feature on the GPS to locate caches.
Nice to have met you. Hope we can meet again someday.

With this one only 100m from football, it was a logical choice for my first cache for the afternoon, after a very hot run around the park (and a last quarter that dragged on for 33 mins)

anyway, back to the cache, quickly found and nabbed out of the way

TNLNSL

Did the maths for this one the previous night and an early morning find today.
Grabbed the TB

First find of 11 for the holidays.
Drive by for first spot. Sat loc spot on for second, after initial worry that the sums were wrong - an interesting public park.
At least the paddy wagon trip would be short from GZ.
Took Chook,
Left Nuclear TB under watchful gaze, and dice.

No resistance offered, easy find, TFTC.

I picked up this cache whilst on patrol
The cache remained silent when questioned.
Thanks for the bit of detective work today

Quicky nabbed....

Another quick stop. Just long enough to apprehend the offender.
TNLNSL, Cheers.

Got it after a while of thinking about the play on words. Number 9 for the day.

As I write this log I have just realised the pun in the name. (I'm not slow). Another night cache for the fun of it. GZ didn not look like a public place at night, so very pleased to read this note. Some small items are now in place, so we took an alien and left an elephant.

First thought that I had the calculations wrong, as the spot didn't look like GZ, however found it in the end. TNLN SL, it was dark and I was wearing a head torch, about 10 cars went past during my visit, had to duck each time one went past

Found 12:15. Day 3 of our Fleurieu Caching Holiday, 5th of 10 FFTD. What a perfect day for caching (Like everyday !), despite the 100 mm of rain that fell on the area, its all in the fun of the game . Found by Mrs E on a return trip to Victor to gather supplies, while Mr E walked along Parson's Beach in search of another cache. The whole team had searched the area the day before without luck, clue given by Chizbeki to it's whereabouts. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Did the calcs easy enough but took a while to locate the cache. Rechecked the calcs several times before widening the search and then spotting it.
Thanks Wannabe Nomads

Tricky one with a clever name! Did the maths but thought we had it wrong as the GZ looked unpromising and GPS reading was all over the place. Rechecked dates and maths several times and got same answer. Found it at dusk on the third visit just as the Nomad 1 vehicle was driving past. Just checking!?

I get it now. It did not make sense at the time. Very punny.

Question? What did Flinders name and Barker climb?

A resting place [?] No rest for the wicked here. Felt that I was in a rush to get out of here real fast. Left some soap. Seems everyone thinks the same here.

Thanks wannabees. Clear skies, TeamAstro.

A quick scan around finally found it, was having the same thoughts as Unicycles did!

Don't know how long you want to be resting here, you may get a fine for loitering before too long. TFTC

Scooped the prize with Da Frizz. Don't get caught by Da Fuzz!!

Found at 15:45. Took a while, until I thought that maybe it wasn't private property.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found it after a bit of searching and rechecking my maths. Took the "Amol, Iran" Unite for Diabetes TB and bunny. Left behind a Blue chick (boys in blue)- tried to stay with a law enforcement theme. Had fun TFTC.

The offender displayed substantial resistance. It evaded us for some time and gloves were needed to take it into custody on account of the pine needle defence system. Confiscated the $us500 TB. Left Klem Bear and Amol Iran unite for diabetes TB (after adding the required postcard of the local district). Thanks again Wannabe Nomads.

With our shonky GPS, that was just having a bad day, we got frustrated and asked the kids for help. Two seconds later the youngest asks with cache in hand if this is what we are looking for Argghhh. TN Left $500 TB in case the next finder needs to bribe the local law enforcement. TFTC

Dogma did the maths and then found it too, we were certain we needed to visit the men in blue.bronze

nice little cache and ironic that I had to break the law to get the cache in the end tnlnsl

Woo Hoo!Second first to find in two days!.Struggled a bit on the first stage because we didnt know what to do with the dates,but then worked it out and went off to the final spot and was soon found.

Left:Bracelet
Thanks Wannabe Nomads
