Archiving a geocache is meant to be a permanent action. Only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ can unarchive caches. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if the cache meets the current geocaching guidelines.

If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

Looks like I need to take a visit as it's probably not there anymore after a fire. Thanks to Fnsaws for the heads up.

Found nothing here today, a ground fire has been through here lately. No evidence of a cache burnt or otherwise. CO needs to take a look

Thanks for an easy cache on a beaut place

Easy find - never knew this CP was here! TFTC

Had to brave the acacia paradoxa but found it! TFTC

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Team USB USU [^]

I set myself two caching goals at the start of this year.
1) Reduce the number of days in my calendar that I hadn't found a mystery cache to satisfy a challenge cache.
2) Complete my calendar so that I had a minimum of 5 cache finds per day. Tick - done.

Then half way through the year I heard a whisper about another challenge cache in the pipeline that required a Multi cache on every calendar day. At that time still needed 129 days so 3) reduce those days became yet another goal.

Then Groundspeak wanted to start a streak at the end of August to get a souvenir. So I did. And I am still on that streak so I guess I now need to achieve 4) goals.

Today I just needed to find a cache to continue the streak. Sal was on holidays and happy to go for a drive as we have no geocaches within 20 kms of home anymore And when you have to drive 40 kms for a cache you may as well do a nearby cache as well.

This was the target cache. Never heard of the Bullock Hill Conservation park before so it was good to come an have a look. we decided as time was bit short we would just do the Heathland Hike which was the shortest of the hikes available. [^] This meant we stopped off early and found the cache. in fact you could see it from the track (if you know where to look) so after stamping the log, we put a few more pieces of bark over it. It was a pleasant hike around but it appears the internal path at the end is now a walk back up the closed section of Haines Road. in any case we will be back to further explore the park. May even be another cache here sometime.

**Thanks TeamUSBUSU for this cache. **

left home and heading to victor harbor, that " just happens " to be via meadows and goolwa today. Since i was going this way i thought to grab a few more caches. quick find. Short stroll. I knew this park was here, i just never walked through here before.

Enjoying a sunny afternoon and some caching time with hevwalker.
It was nice to stop and stretch the legs here.
I stamped the log with 3LG... have since had a name change

TFTC Ben and Alex from TeamUSBUSU

It was such a perfect afternoon for a bit of caching so 3LG & I took the opportunity to get a few smileys...
Another place I did not know existed...another Conservation Park...thanks for bringing us here...

Easy find tftc!!

Quick find

Nice

Bare foot in the dark. Acacia plant left it’s fair share of holes in me. Self inflicted so not complaining. Made the find very satisfying. Cache is in good condition. TFTC.

Found It!
I first attempted this one many years ago (and many times since) and just couldn't work out how to get to GZ. Today I came back with a 4WD, in the dry and approached from the western end. And that resulted in me getting to GZ and finding the cache! Nice little park you'd never know about if not for the cache! (mainly due to the persistence required just to find the way in!)
TFTC

Enjoyed our drive in to this one, a scenic back road, a nice walk in the conservation park, Mrs frog took a photo or two, lots of insect eating plants here, quick find on the cache, in good condition TFTC TeamUSBUSU

This cache needs to be tended to because there has been a throw down.
There are two containers an log books at this location.

Found while on a drive through the area. I saw a snake on the way back to the car. TFTC

We visited the general area around eighteen months ago, but didn't set of on a search for the cache as there was an audience at the parking location.

Today we had the place to ourselves, so set off on the short walk to find the cache. We were probably better off waiting to find this one, as we were rewarded with a new cache container and nice new logbook. Well done on performing maintenance on this cache, I'm sure the community as a whole appreciate it, I know we did!

Thanks Ben and Alex from TeamUSBUSU.

Consolidated the two containers and replaced with a new one, and new logbook as the others were drenched. Have taken the old logbooks home to dry out.

Updated description to reflect changes to the access roads as well, Haines Rd is only accessible from the Western end now.

Will be there within the week to fix it up.

Found while out on Cache day with AnyMules and JJ52 it was a great day with fantastic company, a delicious morning tea and plenty of laughs. there were two containers and two log books at this location.
Thanks TeamUSBUSU for placing and maintaining this Cache

As per found log. There are multiple containers and log books at this location. Needs some TLC/consolidation.

Out for a morning of caching with Tomboy and JJ52. This was one of our stops.

There two containers here. Both with log books.

Thanks for the cache TeamUSBUSU. Found on 4 Feb 2017 at 2:11 pm. Find #3862.

Out for the day with Tomboy and AnyMules caching around Strathalbyn.

Had a nice walk on the sandy track and made our way through the thick scrub to find the cache. As AnyMules has written in his log there are 2 containers and 2 logs so we signed the newer one and replaced all as found. [?]

Thanks for the cache TeamUSBUSU.

Found by The Boofs TFTC. No issues with the road today.

Well, the log was wet, so I have replaced the log to a new camo box but as it (the new box) was smaller their are now two containers at the GZ, one dry with log and one wet with stuff. Watch out the ground is covered with prickles, well I have been pricked! Still not the first or last time.
: )

Nice dry road to near GZ today. Found the container a little worse for wear and the log book was saturated.

I put it out into the sun to dry a bit, hoofed it back to my car for some gaffer tape and scissors then returned to do some temporary repairs to the container. The log book was dry enough then to put my signature on it, but it needs more drying. TFTC Team USBUSU.

There seemed to be a 4x4 club convention at the parking spot today, putting us off of searching for the cache. As we were the only 4WD fitted with road tyres, we felt really under-dressed with the quagmire further East of here. We will reattempt this one another day.

A nice spot. TFTC

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

The rain was fairly pelting our van overnight and so with a poor nights sleep we were not exactly rushing out the door this morning. Once we finally had our '....' together we headed off plotting a course for Milang and collecting any geocaches we could find to/fro.

The weather turned out to be quite nice today with bright sunshine and only the occasional cloud to worry us.

Thanks TeamUSBUSU for helping us to tour SA whilst using Geocaching.

TFTC, Regards from FelixII [^]

Cache has a broken lid so is currently upside down, trying to keep the water out, but really needs a new container ASAP.

A little morning drive and a quick find! Might have to bring the family here for bush walk.

Track nice and wet today.

Very amusing listening to the ouchs from all as they searched for this one. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry and all were in good moods.
Hint: shorts aren't recommended !

10:29
Today was planned as a day to broaden our focus a little beyond caching. The Strathalbyn area offered everything we were looking for - including some caches
The scenery was splendid and the old buildings with their iconic SA architecture scored many favourite points from us and the Suscoes.
That prickly acacia was really on guard today!

TNLN .. . . . SL . . Thanks to TeamUSBUSU for the hunt.

Suscoe headed out this way today in the company of Phetlern as we worked out way through the Strathalbyn area to enjoy some caching in the Bremer Valley and beyond.
It was a magical day with scattered cloud, a gentle breeze, a good variety of caches and good company.
The country side was starting to look green mixed in with some bushland settings that still looked dry.
This cache was found, logged and returned. One of 27 finds for the day.
Thanks to TeamUSBUSU for this cache.

Prickles ... urg! Native razor wire. Found after a frustrating 30 minutes as we were giving up and trying to extricate ourselves from the spikey plants. We must have nearly trodden on it several times. TNLNSL

After a fair bit of searching, I had a bout of quitter's luck. Just as I was about to give up, I looked across GZ at just the right angle ans saw a corner of the cache sticking out. All is well with the cache.

Spent about 30min searching the bushes for this local cache, unfortunately the phone GPS had me walking around in circles through the prickly acacias, but to no avail. Was running out of daylight, so will have to check out again. Hopefully it is still there! Road in from Wattle Flat Road end (west) is not accessible without a 4wd, should be easier from the Signal Flat Road (east) end.

Found this one with White Dog as we start started our track back home.

The drive in was OK, but I'd like to drive on that track to the cache.

I spotted it mainly because I looked down and spotted it. Wasn't any great skill just luck.

TFTC

Quick find near the end of a great days caching. Nice hide. Caching with Team Waldron today.
Have known one of the owners for years, TFTC Ben

Almost a year ago since my DNF. Don't know how I missed it as I found it inside of 30 seconds today. TFTC

a nice hide, interesting spot TNLNSL cheers

Good news for the owner. The cache is there, safe and sound, less than 2 minutes to find. Took a mouse and left a spider. TFTC.

Found this one on the first day of the new year! Moster was with us this time.

We came in from another direction. The track was closed but I enjoyed the walk, did lots of photography along the way. After much prickly searching did not find the cache even though was standing on ground zero! Maybe next time.

Wattle Flat road access was a mess! Really churned up by 4WD and water damage. Road closed at both ends of the track, so walked the 1.5K uphill to the site. At thye location I encountered lots of nasty prickles/ muddy track. Almost decided to turn back, Two of us spent almost an hour at GZ but did not find it. I have the feeling that this one may be a lost cause. Rain started and fortunately another 4WD came along and gave us a lift back to our car.

Will keep an eye on this one to see if anyone else was lucky enough to find it

No luck today. Scratched around for about 20 minutes then had to leave for an appointment. Will have to try for this one again as I pass close by quite often.

Managed this one with just our two wheel drive on a lovely sunny winter's day. Great views from the carpark. Thanks Ben and Alex for the cache and hunt.

fred found this one. no help what-so-ever from the geo-woof!!! T - toothbrush holder L - bat & uk coin

Wow... this one was an achievement..... tried to get to it via Wattle Flat Rd. .... bad move... track churned up and blocked by trees. Approach this cache via Signal Flat rd and then Haines rd. ,,, very easy this way. Then, feeling very pleased with myself i hiked the 120m to the gz..... took 20 minutes of searching and prickles to find it. Where i first looked ( but i was looking too high!!!) A great little park. Its well worth walking up the track another 750 m. to see the view!!!

tftc. awsome fun day out with friends.

Found this one on a day trip with Matt&JoStarr, TFTC

A quick, albiet prickly find. Road was easy in and we were watched by skippy and mates. TFTC

[8)] Found this one after an earlier attempt to come from the east.
Came in from the west with 4wd and then did the east after...FUN!
Didn't even know the park existed, as others have stated.
No swaps, TFTC

Even brother who spends a lot of time working in this area had never been here. A simple, clever hide that took us a little while to find. T boomerang keyring, L toothbrush holder. Great journey. Thank you.

Found the cache at 9.30am. Enjoyed walk along to the cache - search for while - good hidden spot. No swap. SL. Thanks for organising the cache and hunt.

Didn't know this raod existed...if your game head east down the rough track...

the drive in from the north road was a bit hairy with the vp commodore. this would have to be the most adventurous i have been with this car.

2nd of 6 FFTD on our way home from our week away in Port Elliot. Mrs E did a great job driving in from the east. Thankfully a quick find albeit a prickly one with Mr E in tow! The other Geo-Kids and Mrs E remained in the geomobile, probably a smart thing as the rain started to fall (FINALLY). TNLNSL. TFTC.

10th find of the day and 1897th total find at 13:50.

It's not often that we get to go caching this far from home, but as we are both very fortunate to have a couple of weeks off - - -. By good planning or design this cache was on our list.

In the right spot, but took a bit of scratching around to come up with the goods
Took: Nothing
Left: Screwdriver
Grabbed TB Sylvester (??)
Thanks Ben and Alex from TeamUSBUSU for the cache.
Ian and Penny

A quick find in a conservation park that I never new existed.
Thanks for bringing me here!

Had no idea this conservation park was here! Great patch of scrub though the road could be a bit boggy if winter ever comes. Nice views to the SE. Looked for both cows and hills but didn't see any. Figured someone else will be along soon enough to take TB, so TNLN. Thanks Alex & Ben for the cache.

An enjoyable walk towards the cache. Left TB"The Real McCoy"
Thanks Ben and Alex from TeamUSBUSU for the cache.

Was heading for Prefect whenthe GPS showed this one. The X-Trail handled the road easily and the short walk was good. Found the cache easily enough although not hidden how I expected. Thanks for the cache, a cow lowed as I logged it!

Really enjoyed access road from south in a 4WD

Interesting part of the world that we would never see otherwise.

Took travel bug,

Left alien

thanks

I came in from the east which was fun with the GeoCommodore but made it. As I was approaching the cache 4 little bundles of spines crossed the path - a family of echindas. Left the Little Feet TB. Left using the western road - a lot better road.

A pretty drive in, the track was a little rough the way we came but at least not boggy. Cache quickly found. TNLN. thanks Ben and Alex from TeamUSBUSU

Found by Barry and Beryl at 11.40 am
Nice muggle free walk to the cache a few birds around we saw a few wildflowers starting to appear.
This is our kind of cache, pleasant walk, birds in the trees and no muggles. Took Nothing and Left a Boomerang key Ring. There was a few prickles on the way in but as luck would have it I had thick gloves in my bag and proceeded to remove the prickles for the trip out.
Thanks Ben and Alex

Lovely day up here today.
Enjoyed seeing if the road went through.
TNLNSL TFTC

Prickly bushes got me. Nice sunny day for a walk in the park. Hey those aren't cows, they're sheep and I should know! TNT bug keyring TFTC

Good name. I didn't know this existed.
TFTC.No swaps.

The road was dry and dusty today and presented no problems for the Commode. Found the cache easily after a short walk (if you discount the #@&$ Spiny Acacias [xx(] )
Attempted to continue further east as the shortest distance to our next cache on the hit-list, but after about a kay, decided it just wasn’t worth the risk of bogging and turned around.
Thanks for an interesting drive-by Ben & Alex. Cheers

We came in from the fun end too, because TomTom told us it was a "road". Lucky we were in the Subaru! After finding the cache we headed up to the top of the hill because, well, its one of those hills that you wonder what you can see from up there... the answer is... pretty much what you could see from further down.

Found with Team Wibble, nice driving by Mr Wibble to get us there, lots of fun! Beautiful spot, thanks!

Enjoyed the drive in, made all the more interesting on unmarked roads and deteriorating tracks! Very nice conservation park at the end too. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Found a previously unkown conservation park with the cache. Came in from the east which was fun, it would be an interesting drive in winterTNLN Thx team USB for a top little journey

I really did see a high cow in these parts once. See my (THE) first log on this cache.... really. Nothing like that here, but the name said it all.

Clear skies and TFTC from TeamAstro.

Cow of a cache. Wonder what is up the top of that hill? Came in from Prefect and journeyed out via the very dubiously named Haines Road. Goat track more like. At least we had a kayak on the roof racks if it got wet.

Thanks guys for a fun cache.

It took 3 of us about 10 minutes to find this cache
Didn't see any cows anywhere here, it was hard work walking on sand to GZ
Thanks TeamUSBUSU

15th find of the day with BB...TNLNSL TFTC Hope Mrs Uni got her splinter out... Ouch ! Cheers from postiegirl06 [^]

Found at 17:00. Lovely drive. We went all the way through, which was a bit of fun. There was even a small water crossing to make. Lucky our 2WD friend had left us.
At the cache, the kids ran all the way to the top of the hill, while we looked and Mrs Uni got a splinter. Thanks.

What a great track. An area we have never been to before so it was a nice surprise find. Took some photos of the wild orchids.
Thanks Ben and Alex, really enjoyed this one.

The track in was no trouble for our Corolla but could be tricky when wet. We didn’t see any cows. The cache was an easy find and the prickles not too bad.
The most enjoyable experience was being serenaded by a beautiful Golden Whistler while we filled in the log – haven’t seen, or heard, one of these for years. There were a number of wildflowers and a couple of sleepy lizards out on the track.
TNLNSL
Thanks Ben & Alex for a most enjoyable visit to an area we haven’t been to before.

20 of 24 finds (&2DNFs) for the day.
And there was cows.
I hate those spiney trees.

Was in the area, so dropped past to check up... all good and enjoyed a nice walk around the fire tracks. Too many rabbits though!

Had a bit of fun locating the cache. Not as easy as we thought. the drive in was fun though and I enjoy caches that take me to places I have never known of before. Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Pleasant drive along the track today, cache located easily on a pleasant autumn day. Left by the east track, a very pretty drive in the trusty GeoCruiser
Took a parrot and left a koala. Also left Geocoin "Rolly the Beach Ball" coz it's nice and sandy here.
Cheers

Nearing GZ from a few km's away, I quickly realised I wasn't looking for the item featured in Astro's pic!!! Not an option to come in on the road from the east, unless you have a small 4wd or walking.
Grabbed the Unite TB.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Roads were nice & dry today so it was a very easy drive in. Wouldn't think this would be too bad even when wet!
swapped a pisces for TFTC coin & dropped in a 'diabetes' TB as well.
Cheers, TFTH.

Can you believe it. Freddo and I passed here the other day. So incredible, we took a picture of the flying cow.
Astro and Frog!

Wooo Hoo.. FTF with Troopy Travellers. Great trip sliding all over the track. .
Thought we may have been beaten to this one as there were fresh car prints along the track... But much relieved to not see footprints near GZ.
We had fun
Probably not a good road to travel with conventional vehicles in wet conditions .
Great time all round. [^]
Thanks again guys. Another place we have not explored before.
Thats what the journey is all about. [^]
