Our first serious multi cache!!!!!A beautiful walk on a wonderful day. No cockatoos or echidnas on the walk out but plenty of swans, a wallaby and heaps of smaller birds. Looking forward to the walk back along the beach.TFTC

Tftc. Quick find at GZ. Nice outlook.

We have arrived on Kangaroo Island for a 5 day break. We first had this trip planned several years back but that year KI had an extreme fire situation happen and we were offered a refund on our trip which we took. We have waited this long so that the island could regrow and show herself at her best. We have been using geocaching to guide us around and four days into our break we can certainly attest to her beauty. The caching has been interesting and we have many earth caches to write up and send to COs. All the caches we have found so far are in good condition. We did replace one log sheet. All the roads we travelled on today have been quite good.SL TFTC

Nice coastal and bushland walk.

Didn't see any cockatoos, but nearly stepped on an echidna.

Cache is safe, tucked away and in good condition.

Found this one on day 4 of our week long family holiday on KI. Geokids and hubby were busy playing on the beach so I snuck off to solve the co-ords for this one yesterday, but weren’t up for the walk to GZ. then called on them for reinforcement to find the cache.
Attempted the walk today, but only Geokid 1 and I were the only ones to make it all the way! Took a bit of hunting, the hint helped before the rain kicked in.

An excellent location for exploring!!

TFTC!

What a beautiful, relaxing morning walk.
Once again caching has bought me to another beautiful place.
Now back to the motel for breakfast and await the tour coach, to continue on this quick adventure around this special island.

Keep smiling

TFTC. Nice hike through the bushland further than i thought. Many black swans spotted off shore. Left lid

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Find # 3363

Wild, windy and wet day for a long stroll to capture this one. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird, Liz & Bruce. Another great day (despite the inclement weather) for caching. TFTC shonkylogic
Find #5730 at 09:38.

Thanks for arranging and hiding. Beaut scenery. Good to be having a look around the area.  Caching with Wollaston and SeasonedBird.

Had collected the numbers when we were in American River earlier in the week but I had lost husband that time. We had walked from the campsite so was probably too far to walk that night.
So today we came back and made the walk which was lovely. Nice quick find at GZ then walked back along the beach.
We then went to the cafe for coffee and cake and finally we ran into Wollaston, SeasonedBird and Liz and Bruce so had a nice chat with them before heading off to Penneshaw.

Lovely walk and fun cache.

Did the walk in heavy rain, then back along the beach. The prospect of a cache kept me going, that and the big brown dog that decided to join me for the walk! Cache in good nick.

Mr and Mrs Parrot took a trip overseas to Kangaroo island for the week.
We had a lovely time finding caches and interacting with the people selling produce and food to the public.
It fabulous to see the green starting to come back into the fire ravaged areas. We had hired a house in Kingscote and ventured out each day in a different direction to see the sights and what the island had t off.
We also picked up 60 odd caches along the way.
My thanks for the quick responses to the Geocaches and the virtual cache which we sorted out before logging.
It was good to be able to complete Wonders of the world and become an Ultimate Explorer during my stay.

Magnificent, I love a cache with history and this one even gave me a walk as well.

Amazing walk - this is why we cache! TFTC

My last day on KI and I wanted to get the 2 multis at the far end of town before I was picked up by my muggle travelling companions (I was camping down near the Deck Cafe).

Gathered the details from GZ for this one (although I initially missed the sign) and then the other. Finished the other one first since it was pretty close. Then calculated the waypoint for this and it was further than I was expecting. Time constraints meant I needed to break into a run (which I wasn’t really dressed for) and hope for a quick find. Thankfully I found the correct area at the destination and the hint helped by restricting which side to search (although my chest is quite a bit higher than the cache and the cache was found and signed in ~2mins.

Returned to the car park just in time to meet my lift.

Here fishy fishy! A beautiful walk to the cannery and back along the shore. Thanks for bringing us out here.

Found at 11:55 with Olga. A quick find about 5m from where the GPS said but in an obvious (to me) location.

A very pleasant walk.

Found It!
It was late in the day and I was hoping this was going to be a quick and easy multi cache. Instead I was in for a bit of a walk. Didn't see any fish, or canned fish but still a nice evening walk to a bit of history I never knew about!
TFTC

Well I’ve never been fishing but I was able to find this little friend. The way to the final coordinates took me longer than I thought. I saw a lot of animals - but sadly no koala .

Thanks for the cache

Greetings from Germany

After a long walk with sooky mini geocachers in thongs, we found and signed the cache. Beautiful old spot. Worth the walk thought the adult geocachers. Bring extra water and comfy shoes in hot weather. Tftc

Having some R&R in Kangaroo Island, staying with Dunmowin during the Christmas New Year week. Today we headed out to do some sightseeing and of course grab a few caches. Enjoyed the walk to GZ, sadly didn't see any cockies but the views across the bay were stunning! TFTC

Really nice walk. Beautiful trail. Did see lots of birds and ants. Only on group of muggles on the whole walk with us! Tftc!

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

We are here visiting, house and farm sitting for three months. There are only 86 caches on the island. This was our 16th, only 70 to go!

Today we are camped at American River, and after a hearty bacon and egg breakfast, set out to scour the peninsula.

After working the solution I returned to car to work on other puzzles. John hiked in to the cannery and saw a Goanna, 3 sea eagles - one with a fish, but no glossy black cockatoos.. He tells me this was an easy find, once the muggles went on their way. thanks shonkylogic for the multi, the walk and the hide. Beautiful day, but typically windy.

Beautiful walk, spot-on coords. Thank you. Fav point.

Did this multi whilst enjoying the beautiful walk to the old cannery.

We are on vacation in Australia and of course we seek some caches.
Thanks for this one! It was a very nice walk we could do just before sunset.
Favoritepoint in.
Greetings from the Netherlands.

Its been a few years since I visited Kangaroo Island, so I headed off for a break for a few days and the chance to grab a few caches.

I managed to find a nice selection of caches over three days in some great places. Its a very relaxing and scenic part of the world!

I gathered the necessary information and visited GZ a couple of days ago. Although I had seen the previous DNFs, I had forgotten about them. After searching the likely hiding spots with no luck, I contacted the CO who confirmed I had looked the correct spot and indicated it would OK to replace the cache. Trouble was the only replacements I had were back in the car 1.5 Kilometres away and I didn’t have time to do it.

Today, as I headed back towards Penneshaw and the ferry home, I had more time. So I wandered back out to GZ and replaced the cache. Hopefully it will last a while. I also left a TB for the next finder to collect and continue on its travels.

Despite the need to visit it twice, I quite enjoyed this multi and the walk.

Thanks shonkylogic for the cache. A favourite point from me.

Thanks very much to e.gregory1 for replacing the cache. Caching karma. All set to go again.

Cache appears to have swum away. If somebody would like to replace the container, it was a small systema. Contact me for the exact location. I will be visiting KI next year but hopefully somebody might replace in the meantime.
Happy to reimburse cost of the container.

Disappointing DNF. Looked for long time.
3rd DNF in a row. Can Cache Owner please verify cache still exist.

Visited posted co-ords and did the calculations on my way from the ferry but did not have time to go for the required walk.
Heading back to the ferry today and made sure to attempt this time.
Made my way to GZ on a miserable morning. By the time I got there it was rainy and windy and cold. Looked around for quite a while but couldn't locate the cache. Probably just cache blindness but I couldn't come up with the goods.
A disappointing wallk back to the car to match the despressing weather.

Got all the clues, double checked them. This took us to the likely hiding place as per the name of the cache. We searched for quite some time but could not find. Oh well, nice afternoon walk anyway.

found it.

1st one!! Great walk and not too difficult to find

Lovely walk along the Bay, took us a little while to locate, but found in the end. Our last day exploring the island

Solved this puzzle, and then walked to the GZ location. Expected a bit more information and boards along the route as well as around the cache location explaining the history of the cannery, but alas the walk itself was nice.

Once at GZ, we searched for 10-15 min before finding the cache. Coordinates kept jumping around a little which made it hard to have a focused search. Ruins were nice.

No black cockatoos spotted unfortunately, but a big goanna had crawled on to the track during our return walk, so was nice to get a few photos of the little guy. Still wonder what this youth project was, and wonder if it was setting up the walk, a specific tree planting project, or reestablishment of the ocean fish farms?

What a fantastic walk! GZ was easily found but almost gave up. Chest high thru me off but i was not coming this far without a found. Both GPS and Phone took me to the spot. I just had to think a little differently. Getting a Fav from me.

Checked on cache today. Everything is in place and still plenty of room in the original log book.

Couldn't find

A good opportunity to stretch the legs. TFTC

After my last DNF, I wasn't quite sure I'd find this one... especially since I'm just using the compass on the gc app, but lo and behold I did! TFTC!

This is our #1800 cache find.

Loved the walk to the final and a nice bit of history. (Hard to imagine that this was once a busy place.)
Cache is in great condition.
Thanks for showing us this shonkylogic.

Worked on calculations to GZ on the walk in having plenty of time to appreciate the walk before nearing our destination. Quick find then a good look around at building remnants before heading back to the car via the beach. Enjoyed a well earner lunch back at the Oyster Shop. TFTC

We solved the co-ordinates, but unfortunately we hadn't allowed enough time for the walk to the final ... who knows though, one day we may just return.

Nearly got there but there was a king tide over the beach so couldn't walk across!

Stood next to the sign but departed very quickly as angry ants inhabit GZ. Had to get the required info standing a long way from sign with binoculars. Great walk to the final and a nice bit of history. TFTC shonkylogic.

Great hide/walk

Our final day of a 6 day stay on the island with the intentions of finding all the caches on the island, we succeeded finding all of them with no DNFs the stay was fantastic even though we were in a heatwave while staying here, luckily we had an air conditioned accommodation, while here we saw lots of Kangaroos, Wallabies, Goannas, Seals and lots of different species of birds, according to Mrs 3LGs fitbit we walked around 60 kilometres during the 6 days here, Today was the last day to find all the ones we missed since being here and we found the last one just in the nick of time before boarding the ferry,Another fantastic cache on this island to find and we enjoyed the walk to get to the final although we found the hint put us on the opposite side at GZ but a quick find was made as the tell tale signs of a cache hide. TFTC

We stayed in American River for our week's stay on the island. It was an amazing walk along the river to get to the cache with many delights on the way. On the way in we saw a pair of Glossy Black Cockatoos and took multiple photos trying to get a good one. On the way back we witnessed a flyby of what must have been the whole flock. Very privileged indeed. Just some of the birdlife we saw on the way. Some very interesting rock formations as well. This is one of the great delights of geocaching, finding the off the beaten track stuff. While Doc was bushbashing - because that was where the GPS said we should be (Not the first time it has lied to us) - Mrs got a little bored and did some exploring and found the cache. A delightful walk. TFTC Cheers.

#2547 - Cornered this little blighter with Marg holding the GPS at 0 metres.
Great track to wander along and return via the beach.
All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.

Many thanks to the cache owner shonkylogic for bringing us here and establishing another great KI cache. Most worthy a favourite to bring us to a very historic place.

Gorgeous spot. Great walk.
Cache in great condition. Will read the history of this site now.
Tftc

Thanks! Found earlier today when out for an early morning walk. Saw two glossy black cockatoos on the way. Thanks Shonkylogic for the cache!

Another great weekend with my geofamily, plenty of miles and smiles with a few geocaches found along the way.

I had considered visiting this cache on previous visits to American River but thought the better of it. Today was a different story, I hadn't ridden from Penneshaw and was able ot kick off from the given wp instead of from the oval which we previously used as a campsite.

We enjoyed the walk, in along the path and out along the beach.

Thanks for the cache shonkylogic (Bronte?).

One of many fantastic caches found on a trip to Kangaroo Island.
I had an awesome time, visiting the island with some great friends.
It was great to visit an area with so many high quality caches. TFTC.
Wow, awesome walk and truely favtastic location.

What a great day! Some very generous people allowed me to accompany them and undertake my first trip to Kangaroo Island.
I picked up sushilord and then we caught the ferry to KI where Moneydork and Tounga met us and the caching (and photo taking) day started.
At the end of the day, I had 26 cache finds and 1 event attended
We even managed a group FTF on a cache that had waited some weeks for our arrival

Our group enjoyed this walk through this lovely area and then back along the beach.
Some fish were even seen in the tidal pools so yes, we can c a fish

A very nice walk to this one. It took a while but it was great and an easy find. Fav point from me.

Found with O319 on our trip to Kangaroo Island and OZ Mega. TFTC

Quick find with Justjessie on our of Kangaroo Island, before heading off to OzMega. Great multi. TFTC

What a brilliant morning for a stroll, great to let your imagination go and remember the old days. First cache on KI. Tftc

We did enjoy doing this multi and going on the nice bush walk to find the well hidden cache. Lovely mossy areas and photos taken. It would have been interesting to see what this area was like many years ago. We saw Ibises in the sea at low tide enjoying their food with their heads down as usual. We will give you a fav for the work you have put into setting up this cache and also for bringing on this lovely bush walk to GZ.

Wonderful to find this great coast way.
A favorite point from us goes to this cache.
Greetings from Germany

Found after a lovely walk! Hint confused us as we found it on the other side. Lots if swans nearby. Thanks for the great multi!

Interesting location and nice walk. TNLN

We had a spare day today and having retrieved the information last week decided to finish the cache. It was overcast with a slight breeze and ideal for a walk. Unfortunately the flies did not have a day off. The Bike S.A. event had reached American River so the locality was swarming with cyclists when we returned to eat our lunch. We parked next to an object that we had not seen before - would you believe, a charge point for electric vehicles in Amewrican River of all places. TFTC.

Gathered the info & calculated GZ. We then decided we did not have time to walk that far so another day maybe.

lovely cache TFTC

Such a lovely walk with the family, we really enjoyed this little multi, we took the beach track back to the car, was a lovely morning walk!

It was a walk too far for us with a ferry to catch and not too long to get there...next time.

We enjoyed this little multi and the brush with history. TFTH.

We visited wp1 late yesterday afternoon, but decided we didn't have time for the walk, so came back this afternoon to finish it off. A lovely walk through the bush to GZ. We spent some time admiring the view across the inlet waiting for the muggles at GZ to move, then we made the quick find. Thanks for the cache and giving us a walk.

Our first multi for the holidays. Good reason to go for a walk with a great view. We have had a great time on KI. Sorry for the late log. The internet was not working after the Cygnet river fires and we were on the road. TFTC

Found on a rainy walk, no cockatoos though

This wonderful cache is right near where we are staying. Solved the quick puzzle. Fantastic walk, arrived at cache at dusk. Returned by torch light. TFTC.

Greeting from Canada. What an interesting hiking trail! We did our best to avoid the ants but think we spotted where they have all started life from it was the biggest ant hill we have ever seen! We walked back along the beach which was great for a different view and different things to look for. TFTC

Enjoyed the walk, GPS was spot on for a quick find

Enjoyed a beer at the end of this walk!

Nice multi, very helpful hint. Measured the position from a bit further away and then counted steps to mitigate reflection/GPS problems. Found with tamiko.

Nice one! Found it with traut+wombat. TFTC

Difficult terrain, narrow path, prickly bushes and fallen trees. Swapped magnet for eraser. Walked back along beach. Big boulders and deep seaweed. Heck of a trip.

Lovely early morning walk today before it got too warm. Not much info around on the cannery though. TFTC

After spending a night in the camp grounds, and enjoying a nice shower, it was time the next morning to grab this one.

Got our answers at GZ from the comfort of the car. Then re-checked them after counting wrong.

Made our way to GZ in our thongs, which might not have been the best idea, but we got there with only dirty feet and some cuts.

It's a pity that there isn't actually any information at GZ, as I'm guessing that as it is now not very many would make the 1.5km walk there, as indicated by the number of people who actually make their way to this cache.

A lovely little place to walk to, and good to stretch the legs at the start of the day before climbing Prospect hill!

TNLNSL

It was really fun. Got lost though, because we got the second coordinates wrong.

It was really fun. Got lost though, because we got the second coordinates wrong.

Long walk and got the coordinates wrong so walked 80 meters up the hill. Oh well we needed the exercise. John Hannah Zoe and Daniel.

GeoWife kept asking GeoHusband "Are we there yet?" and his response was "Not much further" (but it was, grrrrr). Finally came upon the Cannery just as the batteries in the Hand Held Gizmo gave out, and unfortunately had not brought spares from the GeoMobile but we knew we were close so did a hunt around and soon found the cache.

Final day here and a lovely walk to the cannery which there isn't much left to see. Left Path Tag.

There are three ways of getting to this one, a boat which I did not have, by road then walk down to it or to walk along foreshore. I thought that I would be lazy and drive there had a very interesting journey. Took Eiffel tower and left a blue grub and a snake to look after cache. Interesting remnants of early primitive buildings, if your coords are right they will lead you exactly to GZ.

Lovely little beach and area to build a fish processing plant, glad that they only used stones, TN left frog

Thanks for the walk, wouldn't have done this one otherwise

We enjoyed the walk to this one, didn't see any Glossy Black Cockatoos though. Thanks for the cache.

NinjaPete and Lainy

Nice spot pity there is no history on the area at the site. TFTC.

This multi took us on a great walk through the woods, then back again on the beach. Our youngest contests the direction in the hint, but nevertheless we found the cache after a bit of searching. TNLN SL TFTC

Our second find for the day. Unfortunately no Black Glossy Cockatoos.

TFTC

Monocle from The Squints went searching for this one today but had not luck. Got GZ coords easily and despite extensive search couldn't come up with the goods. Hasn't been found in a while???

Great walk to GZ - encountered a goanna on the way which made me feel better about striking out cache wise.
