This weekend, I headed to Mount Gambier for another weekend of cave diving practice. I was diving at Pines Cave for both Saturday and Sunday, and spent a little time with finding a few geocaches in the afternoons. Saturday was spent around the Mount Gambier Prison vicinity, while Sunday was spent travelling back to Adelaide via Millicent and Beachport lakes inland section.

This afternoon following my dives, I decided to head to the west of Mount Gambier and find a cluster of geocaches around Mount Gambier Prison. A few drivebys and a visit to McNamara Park where the motorbikes must race. A pleasant few hours before darkness fell.

This geocache had a few DNFs with it, and so decided to visit this location anyway to see if I could make the find here. I made the short walk to GZ, and spent a good 5-10 min looking around trying to find the cache. There was a bit of tree cover and tyres dumped nearby, and so it was hard to think what was suitable for a cache hide. In the end, I listened to the hint, and made the find 5-10 m away from where GZ had me looking. The cache container was in pretty terrible condition, and the logbook was wet and mouldy. Definitely needs a CO TLC maintenance visit here soon, but I suspect this cache will soon be archived anyway? Thanks anyway The Rizzos for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

A lovely afternoon collecting a few caches with the family...
All the gates were locked today so I climbed over it & headed to GZ...no-one was around...found the container...it has perished & has a big hole in the side so some maintenance is required before it gets saturated...the log is in a plastic bag so not too bad at the moment...
As I returned to the car my path was crossed by a wallaby with a joey in it's pouch...

Suscoe had a terrific day caching to the west on Mount Gambier today.
It was cloudy for most of the day with a cool breeze to keep everything nice and temperate.
We found 40 caches in total which was a lovely number on a beaut day.

Had a delightful walk in here, a pleasant spot. There were a few workers doing maintenance over the way.

Thanks to The Rizzos for placing this cache here.

This was a very interesting cache for us. I had to master thus one myself since the other members of the team are petrified of snakes... I started my long track though the bushland thinking it was only 200m away. It was seriously the longest 200m of my life.... After eventually arriving at GZ, I realised that there is a nice CLEAR path I found of taken which would of avoided my cuts and bruises....

Team Danden are at it again!

Mr. Greydude had to do this cache while we were visiting the area.
Many moons ago when Mr. Greydude was young he used to race here on his Waterbottle 750, ahh those where the days hammering down the straight so it is only fitting that he drops his first trackable here too

Yay 100 finds for me. We drove in, past some people. Not real sure if it was ok but no-one stopped us. I picked up 2 TB's to help them on their way. Hubby came along for a drive, as according to him he doesn't care about the caches but likes the places they are hidden in. Thanks for the cache.

I've never been in to fast car - more like 4x4's for me. However, given half a chance, I'd love a shot.

I have lots of fond memories of coming here in the late 70's & 80's. The track was a little rougher back in those days Big Grin
A nice easy find after a stroll in from the main gate. I dont think the sign there has changed however!
Left the 'Liam' TB here to enjoy some motor sport [^]

Can someone confirm that my travel bug is NOT in this cache please?

Nice easy find
 
Huge hunting party out today which made this one a little hard to find when there was racing nearby. But geokids are always a great excuse when asked are you guys looking for a camping spot. A nice little hide that we tried to find early in our caching history but a lot easier in the daylight and on the right side of the fence. TFTC

Another nice easy find. Was Moto X day today so lots of people around.
 
Rocky Glen Grommets were inthe Mount for Motocross State Titles so it only seemed fittingto also do some local caches - a good hide and one we enjoyed. The Seniors were certainly buzzing along nearby - the groms raced the previous day. In celebration of Grom1's placing (6th) we left a Rocky Glen Pathtag.

We disturbed a number of wallabies on the way to the cache. After a bit of bush bashing we found some clear track with short which helped to keep our shoes dry for the day. We found a number of broken bottles near GZ which detracted from the beauty of the area unfortunately.

Thanks,
