Canned What?! Eudunda, South Australia, Australia
By matmob on 03-May-07. Waypoint GC12M70

Found while staying out here with a friend a little while ago. Completed this area.

Awesome

It was such a nice day to do a bit of geocaching. Thanks for the find

What an interesting history lesson. Of all the things to put in a can!!A quick find and a bonus TB to join me on my travels.TFTC matmobKeep smiling

Whoot, whoot! Take the long way home.

Found! Great view from here but very windy today. TFTC

Day trip to Robertstown and Eudunda area grabbing many multis and others during the days caching. All caches in good condition unless mentioned in the logs. TFTC

Quick find with the old man, tftc

On our travels we stopped to grab this cache, what a wonderful view over the hill definitely worth the drive, a nice quick find, thanks for placing this cache

Interesting story that I'd never known about! TFTC

A Sunday drive with the Muggle Wife up north of Kapunda and surrounds. Her interest was the wildlife and stopping at sacred sites and other points of interest to read plaques and enjoy the scenery. Mr Adder also admired the abundance of accompaniments to roast potatoes and gravy.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.
.
An old processing building that we would have known nothing about if not for this hobby. It could probably be rebuilt for it's purpose nowadays with the return of the hoppers in abundance.


Thank you for the cache matmob Find Number 9842 on 10/07/2022

Found out on Geo day as jams

Found with the jams crew on our way to Clare for the JLWE. TFTC

Quick find. There needs to be more rabbit canning, currently there seems to be a excessive amount of them hopping around.
The JAMS team (( JJ52, Allister W, Mogni, and sir_spectre ) plus TallBikeStan for this trip ) are headed off to the 20 th JuneLongWeekend Event in Clare. As you would expect extension poles, blow up kayaks, waders and ladders are in the car. I am sure every one else takes 11 hours to reach Clare from Adelaide, i am also sure via Burra is the logical to Clare . There was many photos taken of the fun times we had, even involving a ladder in the creek and of course many dirt roads ventured down. All caches for the weekend where stamped as JAMS and some more caches where placed on our travels. The missing JAMS member Michells&hound joined us in our B&B in Clare but didn't join with us for the JLWE game. The weather slowly got better over the weekend. It's good to see some gadget and creative caches around Clare that are permeant and not temp game caches.

TFTC. Lovely spot and great history

While spending a month in Eudunda we have been finding a few caches when we have some spare time.

Many thanks for the hide matmob

The eldest of the Famous IV grew up in Eudunda but doesn't get back that way too often these days. But today I had some business to attend to so took the time to look around, take a drive through some smaller localities, grab a sausage roll at the bakery (the rest of the main street looked very, very quiet with more shops closed than open) and grab a few caches. On the way back home stopped and got a few caches around Kapunda. TFTC.

Eudunda trip with the geo-pup, day 4, Eudunda to Robertstown

Great history, sounds like they needed canned heat! Fave from us.

TFTC

Found lying in a field put it back where I think it should have been and removed some broken glass

Tftc!

What a georgous location!!!!! Found on a day off exploring. Tftc

Birds love sitting here.

Found

We have hooked up with iluvtrekking as we cache our way to Millicent for GeoVenture 2020..... oops no we aren't we are just out doing best practice for social distancing. Go Geocaching!

TFTC

Out and about with Felixll on a day trip from Greenock where we are camping for a few days.

This cache was found on our Geocaching road trip from Perth to Millicent for the, now canceled, GeoVenture2020 Event.

TFTC matmob.

Thanks for the cache
Cool looking ruins nearby too

Well what a view here, made for nice find

A nice day out caching around eudunda and the surrounding areas, despite the on and off rain all day majority of the caches were easy enough to get to. Total of 39 finds and 1 DNF.

Thanks for the cache

TFTC nice find quick drive by great veiws

TFTC It reminds me of the late 60’s when the old meat cart used to come around & mum would purchase some fresh rabbits for her stews. Can’t remember rabbit ever being in tins but the fresh ones were yummy

We love getting off the main roads to see these interesting locations. We’ve eaten braised rabbit casserole and rabbit tereen but never tried the canned variety.

Canned rabbit?! TFTC matmob.

Great view from this corner of the world. TFTC.

After the Tour de France series JJ52 and I headed back towards Eudunda and to find petrol. We stopped to pick up a few caches to ensure JJ52 got to her 120 for the day, think we did a few extras too.
Had to take a picture as muggle drove past just as we were about to retrieve the cache. TFTC interesting spot

After completing the Tour de France series with Michells&hound we decided to come up here on our way to a multi ending and as we were driving past we stopped to get the cache. [^]
Had no idea they ever canned rabbits. [?][?]
Thanks for the cache matmob.

Yay

Interesting info. TFTC

Yet another Puzzled Puzzler's Tuesday caching adventure. Oh dear..we are a little light on for crew today. Just me and Mrs. SA Sewer rats. Never mind..we have a plan to find some unloved caches and get Rat qualified for an unloved challenge we want to do later in year. [8)]
The target caches were all up above Robertstown, so of course we took the long way, detouring to some unfound caches along a circuitous route.
I remember my old uncle Arnold used to trap rabbits and it was a real treat to have a rabbit curry. Times have changed. We found the cache and thanks for the memories.

**Thanks matmob for this cache. **

Brisal5 and Mrs SA Sewer Rat set on a lovely sunny day of caching.
WE had to targets for the day.
One was to get Mrs Rat to Qualify for Unloved cache Challenge in Victoria.
The second was to get her to the 28 caches to get her last Hidden Creature.
By end of the day Mrs rat was 4 short for Hidden Creature, and qualified for the VIC challenge.
A quick find for us today.
Thanks for the history. Tftc

Didn’t dee anything living today. Thanks for the snippet of history and TFTC.

Another day, another cache...
Hunting wascally wabbits. Saw some roos too.
Interesting place.
Thanks matmob for placing the cache and for bringing us here for another fun smiley

Quick find doing the driving tour! Thanks to the post office people pointing us in the direction

Thanks for the find

After driving out to Eudunda to be part of the street party we arrive to discover the booking wasn't confirmed so we decided to cache the area instead. TFTC

Great views - funny place for a rabbit factory!

Found on a very frosty morning before hiking the LFT. Thanks

Quick find on the way to netball at Robertstown TFTC

Quick find on Australia Day. Unusual, to say the least, canned rabbit. Probably better than a lot of stuff we eat today. TFTC matmob.

Found it

Easy find. Great bit of history. TFTC

Nice views

Great scenery!

??

Found it

Easy find

Tftc - though it was covered in poo.... lol

Tftc!

A couple of days out from the SA Mega and I was on a run around the area grabbing a few caches. No real problems with any of them and the ones I attempted were in good shape. I think I will need another week to make any sort of dent in the numbers around here though......

Thanks for this one......

What a fun day this one was! 35 smileys including 2 FTFs while out with Dennisc52 and earthlight for a fantastic day.
We had planned to get to Clare to locus caches but instead we found ourselves at Kapunda and Eudunda
Such is geocaching

Hmm, I have had belted bunny, roast rabbit, rabbit stew but never canned rabbit!
We dodged quite a few bunnies today but there was one that just didn't move quick enough to dodge Harry's tyres.

TNLN. SL. TFTC matmob

Found on a days caching with Dennisc52 and locus cache.
The crops are drying and summer is on it's way unfortunately.
Took trackables to visit.
TFTC

Found during a day of caching with locus_cache and Earthlight, and having a good time in Harry, despite losing a headlamp to a wayward Kangaroo. TNLN. TFTC.

Great Location, Easy Find, Had no idea there was a Rabbit cannery here, Love the history around here.

TFTC

A quick find in the rain. TFTC

an easy drive by, spotted from the car!! tftc!!!

What lovely rural country side, much more enjoyable driving round the backroads admiring the views and livestock than doing the mundane metropolitan caches.. Thanks matmob for the cache.

Another great location to find a cache on a beautiful day.
Had a great day caching today and this was most definitely part of it.
Thanks for bringing us here.

TNSL - just for something different left an Australian Penny 1948

Found It!
What do you do with canned rabbit!
No rabbits (canned or otherwise) were seen but I was watched by some sheep...
TFTC

On a visit to Eudunda (as a 'guest' of some relatives in a way) and decided to take the mob (adults and kids) on a Geocaching day in the district and had a hoot of a time. Finding this cache was one of the enjoyable experiences of the day. Imagine half a dozen kids scrambling to look for a cache and four adults in their thrall! Cache was quickly found by small hands. TNLN. With 'The Comrades' and their helpers. Thank you to 'matmob' for the cache and its location.

Another great hide by Matmob

Found it!
As many of our relatives are from this area,
There's a good possibility of being a part of the venture,
Even if only being some of the trappers!
(We did keep the tradition in my childhood)...
Nice spot and a good hide,
TFTC

May be the cannery can make a comeback as the increased sightings on the roads showing increasing numbers of rabbits every year TFTC

Quick find Out with the boys on a caching run out north today.
tftc

Found quickly on a fantastic day of caching heading up to Burra.

Thanks for yet another cache matmob.

Was really Mt Misery today with the rain blowing sideways!!
Quick grab, back to car for the writing, then quickly back to its home.
TFTC

Paddock with ruins but it is nice to find out the history of these ruins. thanks

Had this in hand lickity split, unusual history, thanks for bringing us here!!

Not a lot left of the cannery. TFTC

Found while out on a caching adventure with some Adelaide Hills Geocachers.
Thanks Matmob

An easy find on a day out caching with Aussie M&M, CPWanderer and Mogni. TFTC

Great views from the GZ!! TFTC

The tuppaware container was in really poor condition with the lid gone and logbook dissolved in a pulp at the bottom. Replaced the container and the logbook.

Cache and contents were scattered. No log book found so left a tempory few sheets of paper. Cache has no lid, so we covered the best we could. Thanks

Tried a little first aid - this one needed a little help
TFTC matmob

Hard to work out where it was as it had been split. Moses on the move tried to repair!

What about canned locusts [plenty about today],TFTC

Elmer Fudd could have landed a job here, or maybe not.

Nice quick find, but I don't think the container has much life left in it.

Thanks matmob.

Can’t get over how green and lush everything is around here! Very hard to imagine canned bunny being a big seller but with the right marketing, who knows? As mentioned previously lid of container is cracked. TNLN. Cache #760.

Bunny hopped out of the car to the cache location and found all the contents abath with glee or was that slime?.turned container on end,drained it and dried logbook.Lid has a crack in it and will leak in more water,I did not have an appropiate container to replace it with so returned old one and placed rock over lid.tftc

found while out on a day out with auzzie convict!! tftc

Found on my second day caching in this part of Australia. My thanks to matmob for the cache. I remember eating them fresh when I was a kid and chicken was expensive.

Hmmm, an interesting place - Canned rabbit!!
SL TNLN Thanks for bringing us here TFTC

A smooth drive by. sl tftc

We brought a friend along for this one. He was interested in seeing what we were doing all this time around christmas. He actualy found this one, and pointed it out to us.
