Super schner Ort. Schnell gefunden. Vielen Dank. Gre aus Deutschland.

Wirklich schn hier den Cache gibt es schon so lange und dafr super gepflegt Der Cache wurde auch schnell gefunden. TFTH - I send warm greetings from Germany

Really disappointed that I didnt find this one especially after the horrible drive-in. 45 and very windy did not make for nice searching conditions. GPS told me I was within 1 m but could not find it. Wandered around for a good 15 minutes with no luck. Thank you anyway.

Making our way towards home over the next few weeks travelling with 2 dogs and a cat we have found caching a great way to give the fur babies a break. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining.

We came out to visit the caves on our caravanning trip around Australia. Some spectacular rock features on this coast. The colours in the rocks are great. This cache was a nice quick find after a short walk from the carpark. Thanks for placing

Found on our maiden campervan trip. A fav for the location TFTCCheers and Happy Hunting Southern Cross Caching

Walked here on a windy day. What a beautiful beach. Tftc.

An easy find, we parked the van, then walked the 4wd track( get the steps up) it was too windy so decided after a walk along the beach to head off. Amazing views. An easy find TFTC

OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa Exploring the area north of our campsite.Peppa waited in the car whilst we jogged down to this one. Stunning location. Picked up TB Tftc

Ocw the Bebes as we visit the area. Parked up and walked in for this one. Tftc

TFTC. Wonderful place. I left a trackable here, it came all the way from Melbourne, so take it somewhere new if you wish.

The view from here is simply stunning!TFTC

Lovely view from here. TFTH

#5337 Mr BGF made the short trek to gz from the park boundary while Mrs and geohounds waited. Never ceases to amaze me how spectacular the west coast of E.P. is. Would love to explore this park further but that will have to be on a future trip. Cache located after checking a number of areas, but all good here. TFTC.

TFTC. On a very warm day, our first out for ages we finally stopped by this cache. Left path tag. Happy caching and safe travels!

Thanks for the cache

20 June 2023 3:23 pm Found with Thing no 2 and Gonefishen07 on my 50th birthday bash. Thanks Nudgy for the cache.

Found with Hearse068, another fab spot along this beautiful coastline. Quick find after after a short jog from the car park. Fav point for the view

My 8th day of my trip heading to and around the Eyre Peninsular. Stayed at Wave Rock last night then headed back to the coast and arriving in Coulta for the night. This cache would be find number 13 of 35 for the day and find Number 172 in total for this trip away.

Arrived and was going to try and drive the whole way but decided the last couple of hundred better be done on foot.

TFTC Nudgy

Drove to within 30m of this one... only put into 4x4 as a precaution for the potential soft sand, but the higher clearance helped.
Great spot to come to.
A quick find too.
TNLNSL
Thanks

A nice quick find and what an amazing piece of our coastline. Thanks for bringing us here

Drove west. Followed the road. Found your cache

Wasn't sure of the track and it was pouring by now, so walked the last couple of hundred metres in the wet! Probs didn't need to, but better to be safe.
A nice park along a harsh coastline.
And a cache



So what are we doing this week...

(Go west) Life is peaceful there.
(Go west) Lots of open air.
(Go west) To find caches new.
(Go west) This is what we'll do.
(Go west) Sun in winter time.
(Go west) We will do just fine.
(Go west) Where the skies are blue.
(Go west) This and more we'll do.
(Go west) Life is peaceful there.
(Go west) Lots of open air.
(Go west) To find caches too.
(Go west) This is what we'll do.
(Go west) together together we'll cache on our way
(Go west) together together you map me the way
(Go west) you cache places new
(Go west) this is what we'll do
(Go west) life is smiley there


(with thanks and apologies to the Village People and Pet Shop Boys - who must have been cat lovers!)



Many thanks for the cache hide and ongoing care and maintenance Nudgy .

Country, Coffee, Cats, Champagne, Chocolate, and Caching...
Careful caching as always, wherever we go.
It's a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and objects falling from trees
...... but a cache a day still keeps the boredom away

--------

Most of our caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp )

----------
Make sure that Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - clean and cache the countryside


It's awesome of all those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas,
in sensible safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...


... until next time!

This was a great addition to our adventures. After camping at the nearby Woolshed cave last night and exploring the coastline, we drove to within 30 metres of the cache. Quick find and we grabbed the tb hanging out here, then wandered down to the beach to explore some more. Some huge cuttlefish bones covered the beach at the high tide mark; several having been chomped by sharks which was very interesting. Thanks for placing this cache in such an interesting location.

Found it TFTC

Beautiful spot, great find, in good condition

Been out here a couple of times before but they were before Geocaching days so it was good to bring me back again
TFTC

We're camped up the road a bit, enjoying this beautiful part of the world and I decided to come out for an early morning stroll to see Talia Beach and to find this cache. What a beautiful part of the world!

Thanks for find #4373
Took pathtag, left [Happy 41st Birthday!](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=a2dcfd41-d315-423b-bc2b-b88d68758b40) trackable

Went from the carpark along the beach then over the huge sandhill, down a valley and up the other side. WRONG. Came back along the road. TFTC. TNLN. In good condition.

Exploring out and about with Hellyonfire and Tonka. A nice spot in the world. TFTC

With geosister H423L and geodog Tonka on xmas day

TFTC

Exploring my way home down the western side of the Eyre Peninsula with caching as a tour guide.

A cold and windy, day but mostly sunny at the time. Parked my car at the gate and wandered down the track. An easy find, with the replacement cache in good condition.

Thanks for the cache Nudgy.

Tftf!

Day 7 week 1 of 5 weeks of holidays.
Rockhampton to South Australia looking at stuff and caching.
22 degrees, feeling like 25. The day is warming up.

This one was hard to miss.
Buttons went down to the beach while I followed the footsteps in the sand straight to the cache.
Spent a while just watching the waves roll in. Beautiful.

TFTC

Beauty of a spot for a catch cheers for that lessssgo

Found it

Another cache found during our 2022 South Australia Adventure using Geocaching as our guide.

Spectaculare, thanks Nudgy.

Great to find this GC at a awesome spot. Out with our 4WD Group traveling SA, NT and QLD
TFTC

With wife on placement we have runaway and grabbing a few caches in the area. we found this cache all good

A good day was had while grabbing these caches
Thanks for placing them

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

It's amazing around here! There's a little cut through onto the beach from close to GZ and it's well worth taking. Such a beautiful beach and chances are you'll have it to yourself. Thanks for bringing me to this great place!

Great cache. Amazing views. Found whilst waiting for hubby to air down car tyres. Thanks.

Staying at Venus Bay cp. visited Talia. Was awesome as weather perfect. Picked up a couple of caches along the way. Tftc

Awesome Talia caves. Great to find a cache at the same time!!

Nice waves, pity so cold

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

Off to the west coast for a Holiday. [^] Holiday Sal Style that is. We are sightseeing - if there happens to be a cache there - great - get it. Luckily caches are in really interesting spots anyway.

Day 6: Streaky Bay to Coffin Bay:
No too far to go today but plenty to see along the way! Lucky for me there were a couple of caches to get as well.
Came down here and made a quick find. Don't know why this is carrying a maintainance spanner as the container was replaced by Team Crumble in August last year and is fine now.

***Thanks Nudgy for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Drove down in the early morning and had the whole place to ourselves. While my daughter wandered down to check out the waves on the beach I scampered over a few sand dunes to find the cache.
We left the sightseeing to the way out - stopping at the basin and the caves for some great instagram photos for my daughter.
Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

TFTC

Out driving around for the day with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) and family. As we were here, we decided to go for the cache as the others were wandering around. Walked to GZ and quickly had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC

Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H) while we were visiting the area. We stopped at the nearby lookout and walked to GZ. Once there we quickly spotted the cache. Log signed and all replaced and we headed back to join our friends. TFTC.

Found with friends on a day trip from streaky bay

Beautiful spot

Beautiful location, thanx for bringing us here

Having a great day out with friends. Nice BBQ on the beach and a bit of caching. Such a beautiful spot. TFTC

Found while travelling away with DennisC52. Tftc

Found with Loopy1972 as part of the LGA Challenge. Had to fend off the cache guardian! TFTC.

The guardian.

Fun exploring the Eyre Peninsula for the week with Davidwazza! TFTC!

During our new years break, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula to travel around the various coastal towns. We started the trip with Jeep trouble, but then continued in our alternative vehicle without 4WD to stick to the main tourist roads where possible. We travelled south-west to Tumby Bay and Port Lincoln via Whyalla, Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay; west across to Coffin Bay; and then north-west to Streaky Bay and Ceduna via Elliston, and Venus Bay. We then headed back east staying in Kimba via Poochera, Wudinna, Lock, and Darke Peak.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled from Tumby Bay to Coodlie Park. Our first main stop was at Coffin Bay, where we enjoyed a fantastic oyster farm tour experience. We then headed north, making stops at Greenly Beach, Elliston, and then visited Talia Caves as the sun started to get low. Not a bad weather day, although there was still some wind about.

We took a run to this location, since we didn’t have 4WD capability at the moment. I'm glad we did, as it got real sandy, real quickly. The beach below looks like it would have made a really lovely beach, but today, we just had to admire from afar. At GZ, a huntsman spider was waiting for me under the rock to where the cache was hidden. He soon scattered.
The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Nudgy for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found it TFTC. It was well guarded by this fellow, thankfully HE ran very very quickly in the other direction to me lol. Cache in good condition. WOW what beautiful beaches

We made a decision to take a two week break and head to the Eyre Peninsula. We were keen to return to Coffin Bay and also to explore some less travelled areas.
We had three nights based in Cowell. One of the highlights there was a drive along the 4WD fire track along the top of the Drake Range.
Then we headed to Port Lincoln for five nights. We have been out to Memory Cove on one day and to Coffin Bay NP on another. We have explored the the town, seen stromatolites, and found a number of great eateries. And some special caches too.
Finally we are heading up the west coast to Venus Bay. This was one of the finds along the way. A beautiful spot and technically inside the Lake Newland CP rather than at the south end of Talia.

TFTC! Beautiful place. Loved the tub. Haven’t been able to see the caves. Next one please bring a pencil sharpener!

Nice remote location

Another quick find today. Thanks Nudgy.

Thabks fornthe cache

Doing a 4wd trip of the Eyre Peninsula we managed to drive straight to GZ.
We replaced the cache container, it is now a 600ml plastic square box painted black.

Enjoying a 2 week break from home and discovering some of Eyre Peninsula.
TFTC

Enjoying the coast with calm seas we could see the different colours in the rock layers, pity the stairs had been damaged at Woolshed cave but we still managed to get down and explore, with a 2wd we got to the gate and walked the rest of the way, followed by a walk on the beautiful beach, cache was in poor condition with a flat rock covering to prevent water from getting in
TFTC Nudgy

Container needs replacing!

Found It!
In hindsight, I probably could have driven a bit closer then I did. But it was a nice day for a walk so never mind. Nice spot although the cache container has seen better days.
TFTC

Great spot

not to easy but found it in the end

TFTC !!

In bad need of a new container to replace shattered 4” x 6” container. It is in a dry spot so contents in good condition. Nice bit of exercise getting to it. Loved the beach view TFTC

Tijdens de doorsteek van WA naar SA deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

We continue to travel from east to west. Soon we will come to Nullarbor Plain. Before that, however, we passed many great beaches, sea lions, vögle and reptiles. There was always a cache to look for. All were well found. Thanks to the owners for hiding the geocaches !

Go little one in the middle of nowhere

TFTC easy find quite a little walk, the container is very broken and needs maintenance

Walked it in. This one took a while to find. Compass kept bouncing. Eventually spotted and signed. Container needs replacing. Part of the lid is missing but TFTC.

After staying overnight in Venus Bay, our destination for the day was Ceduna. However we first went a little south back towards Elliston as we had to bypass some caches late yesterday afternoon as we ran out of time.

This was our fourth cached hunt as we headed south. After visiting the Talia Caves, we continued along the gravel road until we got within about 250m of this cache. Then it was "Shanks Pony" to get to this cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. Unfortunately the cache container has become brittle and needs replacing as soon as possible. Thanks Nudgy for the cache in a lovely area.

TFTC traveling toward Port Lincoln with Crack n Lee Lee. Wild & windy today. Container broken, needs replacement

A lovely spot. Walked in with 2beez. Easily found.
Cache container broken but log book dry.

TFTC. SL. It was a cold wet and windy day that we did the scenic drive and visited a few places in the area while staying in Elliston for a few days. The caches took us to some interesting places. This cache is need of maintenance as the container is broken apart.

A magnificent location, beautiful coastal views, found cache very quickly, however the cache has degraded with the elements, and needs a new container, if I had one, I would certainly replace it for you. Hopefully maybe another geocacher could assist. It is a well placed cache. Enjoyed the visit. A favourite from us. Thankyou

Totally amazing beach and views. TFTC and bringing us here. Ended up helping a young couple that got bogged on the beach.

Nice find is a beaut area. Short walk on a hot day as the Geowife did not want to attempt the sand.

Soli Deo Gloria

Found ! The cache is in need of new container and bag for the log. Bugs inside so be careful when you open. Great beach views.

Lovely View
Cache needs maintenance though
TFTC

DNF

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found today while on our holiday through Elliston. Log is wet... (maybe replacement)

TFTC Nudgy

After driving the full length of caves road we parked and walked along the sandy track for the last 250 metres. Mr80 scrambled up to the final location and signed the log. Cache container is in need of replacement due to weather conditions. TFTC

After enjoying the scenery of this spectacular coastline, we drove through to the end of the road. A quick walk along the trail, and cache was soon found. Cache container is becoming quite brittle, so have placed a large rock over it, to protect it from the sun. TFTC and for bringing us to this great location.

On the way to Venus Bay with Crunchy Queen, stopped to look at the caves and grab some caches too! Amazing view of the beach, lots of photos taken. TFTC!

TFTC cheers Crunchy Queen.

TFTC Nudgy.

We are over from Melbourne for our first visit to the Eyre Peninsula and are absolutely loving it

The scenery is sensational.

This is my first bucket list trip. In fact this is the only place on my bucket list.

We only have a soft roader AWD, so I took shank's pony to get here.

Absolutely gorgeous spot.

Note that one of the clips of the container was broken off and when I went to close the container the other broke off. Unfortunately I didn't have anything plastic bags with me, but I think it will be still water tight with the additional natural cover you had on it.

I saw a kangaroo on the track further down but too far for my phone camera to show.

Thanks for placing this here for us to find.

I left a plowfive pathtag for the next finder or the CO .. whoever gets there first.
