mullet & chips for six Coorong, South Australia, Australia
By a shonky frog on 11-Jun-07. Waypoint GC13JXX

DNF but it really stank so we were not really wanting to hang around too much!

Nothing worse than a rotting fish....

Looked for a long time, got a hint from two other cachers and the owner, and still couldn't find it

Found it after RSF1010 almost poked his eye on a bush.

found easy, old note pad wet, new note dry tnlnsl

Left a new log book in a snap lock bag. Hope it stays dry. Found cache fairly quickly. TN. TFTC. SL.

Wet Wet Wet container and logbook.

Had decided on Fri night when here, that this will wait till daylight.
So very early this morning, in the mist, off came the socks & shoes and in I went for the find on a VERY WET logbook.
TNLN
Hard to write in the log book!
Thanks

Salt Creek is flowing very strongly into the Coorong - a few inches below the bridge. TFTC.

Number 16 for the day - bring your togs.

Number 16 on The Coorong Cache 'N' Camp. Had to Wade across the river to get to this one. Very wet though. TFTC TNLN

Thanks for the hunt it was good to stop and have a bit of a stretch.

Thanks for the hunt- a nice and easy one. found in between the showers - no muggles to be seen. SL TNLN

A nice cache fairly easily found on our way home from SA to Vic. Took smerf and left smiley face button

[red]We finally found it, after looking all the possible places where the cache could be.

[blue]We saw some ducks and swans but sadly they didn't give us any clues.

Thanks Shonky Frog

Time for a quick pit stop and icecream. A great sunny day for the final day of our holidays (it rained the rest of the week - not that it really mattered, it was such a novelty to drive in the pouring rain!). The new GPS couldn't make up its mind where it wanted to go, this side or that side. Oh well, we needed the exercise! Don't remember if we swapped anything or not.
Cheers and thanks.
PS: We stopped at the van outside Meningie and bought some nice fresh mullet to take home - yum!

Out caching with Zak Power Team.

15:32 Found on our Touring Tassie and Beyond 2009 Trip!

It just goes to show how long it's been since I've been down to the Mount if I haven't done this one!

A quick stop on our way home to Adelaide from Tassie via Mt Gambier. Plenty of petrol left in the tank today, so no need to stop for any. Given the amount of food in the car we didn't need to stop for any supplies either

Well this was a quick one as is was “Ice Coffee, Chokky Milk
and Kit Kat for four “ while on the way back to the car.

Zak Power Team had muggle cousins along for the ride.

We stopped for a coffee and looked around and checked the phone and 2 caches showed up. This was easy and a few birds on the water made it better. The fishing looks good here and would like to stay awhile but must keep going. Thanks for a good hide

Strange little place for a cache, just the place for a fisherman, but we were on a road trip with a deadline so apparently wetting a line was out of the question.
Took a TB and signed the log, TFTC.
Find #529 for Echo & Spice.

took big ben coin, left travel bug

Took a little while to find due to heavy muggle activity, TN Left Big Ben Geocoin. TFTC. [^]

Easy find, as it was out in the open. Signed and replaced where I believe it should be. 6th for today at 1330 hrs.
We had actually driven past this one, after doing What Rig is That, before I organised the next finds on the GPS's. We backtracked to make the kill.

Cheers
Bundy

Yep

Great

Found by Barry and Beryl at 1.05 pm
Took a while to find, and eventually found it with dry feet.
TNLN Thanks for the cache shonky frog

found

Found with drunken monkey chief and notentirelysure85.

Stopped for diesel, pulled out the laptop and found this one to be only 80m away so went for a run with the GPSr. TNLN

I was in this exact spot the day before this cache was placed
It's taken me quite a while to get back here but at least I can report that all is same & well with the mullet & chips [^]
And nothing here has changed since my last visit!

Cheers Shonky Frogs

We couldnt find this geocache while holidaying with Laksam.

Got the scratches but didnt find it.

Finally getting around to logging these finds after a 2 week road trip (over 100 caches to log [XX(] )

Looked a bit awkward crawling under the thorny bush but the cache was soon in hand.

Found it quite quickly. Lots of duck treats on the ground to dodge. Dinner was a bit further down the road so no mullet for us.

TNLN TFTC.

Hope the person that caused this (see pic) wasn't distracted by their GPS!

Find 46 on our 2008 Xmas caching trip to Victoria
Mark did the rock scramble while Gayle watched, so no wet feet for either of us.

TNLN SL TFTC

[red]Gayle & Mark[/red]

I didnt try the local fare although they looked and smelt great. Only an ice block for me today. I loved sitting by the small waterway watching the blackswand and ducks. A beautiful spot that I would have whizzed by, if it wasn't for geocaching!

You need to crawl a bit to get to the cache, to make it more difficult I added a new stone over the cache. In went the "handy"-smurf (explains the stone) and out a small kangaroo.

A bit of climbing to find this one but no problem all looking good. Thanks for a break in our trip. No mullet and chips for us today.

We prefer flathead, but we stopped by to check it out anyway.
It wasn't difficult to locate and we didn't get wet feet either.
TNLN

we let gjdjb get the wet feet on this one. we love coorong mullet too. thanx

Nice hide but isn't the possibility of wet feet worth another half star? Thanks shonky.

Looked pretty hard on both sides of the river, we were all too chicken to get onto the island for a look. So second DNF for the day.

GPSr about 5m out but found this one with swampy shoes. Took TB left koala.

dropped off TB we picked up in new zealand for some lucky traveller to pick up and move on.

A little bit off from where GPS says it should be but still found it. TFTC

DNF but really DNL very hard...
Maybe next time...!

Muggles probably thinking we were doing a drug drop off.

interesting spot. was watched by muggles - thinking we were doing a drug drop off.

Great Spot!!

Found with the Eden Hills Scouts when camping in the area.
TNLN
Thanks

Found the cache at 3.25pm. Excellent hide spot. SL. Thanks a shonky frog for organising the cache and hunt.

First find for the day on my fourth day out down south.
This was find 58 of 61.
Pity it was so early in the morning I would have loved to have had lunch here.

Our third and final find on our drive from Mt Gamier to Cape Jervis. Renie slipped, fell back and landed onto one of the smaller rocks - ouch! She's OK. Bob circled about the larger rock and found the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC!

It was that time again when Team Nibbler (family) plus one go camping
This was our first find after being out of Geocaching for about 12 mths

Easy find

TNLN

Found this under the cover of darkness, looking for somewhere to stay for the night.
Didn't try the mullet. TNLN, thanks shonky frog
Swampy

Found with Swampy on our Hobart to Adelaide cache trip.
We approached this one in the dark and probably made it harder than it needs to be.

TFTC

Enjoyed the scenic location during a short break. Didn't opt for mullet and chips, but it sure was tempting. Thanks shonkylogic.

Found this 6 months ago & forgot to log it.
Only realised when we stopped to find GZ
Back then & today TNLN

Team NKJ

Had to stop today for a pitstop and bingo theres a cache just over there. An easy find. Was surprised by the flow of water at this time of year. TFTC

Found on our Melbourne to Adelaide road trip and caching adventure. Very quick find (and it had to quick with the temperature 38deg) next to some of the only flowing water for miles and miles. TNLN TFTC

Be careful here as the bridge is out. The samphires were blooming. [^]
Clear skies, TeamAstro.

been here before (suprise suprise)

last time we where captive audience for food. it wasnt good but we didnt get mullet.
TNLNSL

No food today but Diesel was cheap at 147.0.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Found by edmil & maddie. A nice little stop for a break. The cache was found on our way to Robe. We'd done a big circuit from Melb - inland to Adelaid then on our way to Robe via the coast. The cache was a quick find. We signed the logs but took nothing from the cache. Thanks for the cache placement. We now know that this area has a bit to offer so we are likely to come back and explore further.

Easy find. Water was flowing well - the Coorong needs it.

Found alongside Salt Creek. The water flowing in here at the moment is coming from Morella Basin which is a wetland filled with the saline water from the drains helping to deal with dryland salinity in the Upper South East region. Cheers. MODU.

I visited this cache on my way home from Adelaide. Left TB
Thanks

Hot day stopped for Ice Blocks and a quick cache.
On way back home, Adelaide Hills, after 5 beautiful days camping in the Coorong. Breaking up the trip home with caches 3/5, Easy find. Made some swaps. TFTC

Perhaps today in the 44 degree heat this cache could be named 'mullet, chips and ten thousand flies for 6'. A quick find in an attempt to return to the airconditioned car. TFTC. We have eaten at this roadhouse before and are glad we are not camping nearby this week!!

Found on our way back to Adelaide with the temperature gauge slowly creeping up and so too the number of flies that seem to be waiting for us each time we opened the door. TFTC

Found this one on our holiday trip on the way to Adelaide.
The weather was fine and caching down under was great fun for us.

Found this one together with eles78 on our way to Adelaide. T4TC

A mullet is a hairstyle that is short in the front, top, and sides, but long in the back.It's also described as "business in the front, party in the back". The hairstyle was popular during the late 20th Century.

"There's nothing quite as bad as a bad haircut. And perhaps the worst of all is the cut we call the Mullet."

There are currently only 11 geocaches world wide containing the keyword Mullet.

For stealth to know we have a Pajero he must have been watching. Perhaps stalking in stealth mode.

Maybe he was put off by the occasional appearance of Toad of Toad Hall who was on the scene watching his son in law and wandering about his sanity.

The son in law of course knew exactly where the cache was located.

No problems finding this one. Lovely little roadside stop. Just missed the frog who was last heard of heading east .

TFTC.

Nice stream. What does 'Pajero' mean in Spanish again?

Nice quick find, although we had to play tourist until the muggle went away. I had the mullet and chups when we had lunch there afterwards. Not bad, but probably not a fish I'd go out of my way to eat again. Cheers Gav [1389]

A lovely spot, lovely to get a bit wet. As the rest of the team said - we stopped for lunch. I had the mullet, and I also wouldn't probably do so again - too salty for me. TNLN, Thanks.

Lovely spot down by the river and nice to cool off the feet in the water. Had a sit down lunch at the roadhouse and some of the team tried the mullet and chips. Many thanks.

Found under muggle scrutiny, the joy of caching in large numbers. Mullet &chips for lunch, very tasty.

TFTC

1.20pm. Quick find even with muggles around. Great place for a lunch break.

13:19 Time for lunch and a cache. After we found the cache we had lunch at the roadhouse. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Very pleasent to see a refreshing stream in this landscape.
Lunch was great! T4TC - M@

Mullet and Fish for 8 - bound for a date in Adelaide.
TFTC.

I know we exchanged something, but no idea what. Lovely little cache.

Cache # 7 of 10 today. I thought I'd parked on the wrong side of the creek, and followed my GPS across the stepping stones to the other side, only to discover that it now pointed back to the original side. From there it was an easy find.

My thanks to shonkylogic for the cache.

Found at 1430 on the way to Murray Bridge. Didn't sample the mullet, tried the ice cream instead. TNLNSL. TFTC.

I like the old bridge on the side of the drain it's pretty cool. I also like the geotrail that led me to the cache.

Found with ruddiger and the prisoner on the way home from the SE micro assault. Nice break from driving. TNLN SL TFTC

Found it just before dusk was a quick find

Laughed at the last log in the book and glad I didn't get coffee! The geotrail surely helped. Thanks

Avoide the cappachino's next door. Relatively easy find. TNLN.

Fourth of 16 for the day while travelling to Mt Gambier.

What a night we had camping down the road from here. The weather was still fine but on sunset the mozzies came out by the billions and we where forced to retreat inside the tent. The outside of the tent had turned black with the amount of mozzies trying to get in and we are sure at one point they tried to fly off with the tent. We did not have to put up with them for long as a huge storm blew in from the sea. The rain was blowing the tent sideways and was doing its best to pull the tent pegs out and fly off somewhere warmer. The best part was the rain would come in showers that did not last for long but did come on very fast and heavy. Went to a nearby picnic shelter to pack up the tent and have some breakfast before setting off.

Thanks for cache. Jumbo & Slonik (Czech Republic)
