No Rocky ... Just Bullwinkell Kapunda, South Australia, Australia

Archiving pending new cache to be placed nearby

No wonder I couldn't find it! The co-ordinates were in the GPS from a previous attempt to visit. This will be another day job

I will replace this one soon

its gone to geocache heavan, area has been pruned and tidied up

I worked at the Repat Hospital Heidelberg for a few years where Vivian Bullwinkell was the matron for a while (long before me.) Despite the location I was able to have a good look for the cache with no success. There are distinct signs of some major trimming here.

Rocked and rolled on.tftc

Nice monument and great memorial cheers. TFTCSL

Found on a caching day out with demolineux and our new grandson.
The log had to be handled very delicately to prevent disintegration. Maybe a replacement??? Needed two attempts to recover. Muggles everywhere. SL

Found this one with a slight bit of trouble! Very high muggle traffic area. Had to lie in wait while two girl muggles sat right THERE and ate icecreams! Eventually made it though.
TNLN, TFTC.

An easy find for the day, this will make it 15 for the day so far. The wife & kids stayed in the car while i attempted this one. A few muggles around. Just read the clue, it worked for me. I stood reading the plaque, & bent & stretched my legs & oh there it is! TFTC

My first cache on the 3rd day of my expedition to SA. I was not expecting to be caching in Kapunda, but circumstances dictated otherwise (it's a long story told in my previous log, so I won't reiterate it all here!). Fortunately it was an easy find, but I still took my camera as a decoy to explain my presence - and I may just waymark the war memorial as a result. TFTC.

Almost didn't attempt because of muggles...but decided to give it a go. Was looking at the plaques on the big stone, deciding how to be stealthy about searching, when I spied the cache container. Find #12 of 23 on my semi-big day off work geocaching. Cheers & TFTC!

The Noodler grabbed it. Signed log book. was replacing cache when a lady came out of shop and asked if we had lost our car keys as she had found some. We thanked her and assured her it wasn't us!

Easy find, just before dark.

It has taken a couple of go's to get this one but today we can finally put in a log.
Thanks

I finally get to cross this one off my list! There was not a muggle in sight tonight, and this was found in about 3 seconds (after O'cholio told me it was missing!).
I have absolutely no idea how we could possibly have missed this cache last time!
Thanks PG

Was our last cache for the night. A few people in our group had looked for this one before and couldn't find it. We found it really quickly and those who couldn't find it before were happy. TFTC.

Found at 13:45.
Bought lunch nearby, ate it on the bench across the road, then realised there was a cache very close by.

Found this cache while the penguins were filling up the car. 30th of 55 finds today in the company of the penguins. TFTC

nice find for geo son jordie tftc.sl. netdrifter

The old doing up your shoe laces trick works a treat here, also with the little members of the clan standing around the cache was soon in our hands.
Once again I got caught without a replacement log on hand, this cache needs a new one.
We were lucky to find a spot to put our mark so all was well.

TFTC SL

Holy smokin Catfish Wacka Ma Dooza!!!

Easy find after my visit to the council. Thanks.

In Kapunda for some caching fun
Before home to see the Crows get done
Was like Rundle Mall
There's some folk festival
That's 5 out of 10 on this run

Having met Postie Girl on Wednesday night, we were wondering when we might discover our first PG cache. Today Ali Twirby was performing at the Kapunda Celtic Festival and we quickly discovered that PG had some caches in town. So before the performance Teeny Twirby (Kiera) and Scott set off to find our first PG cache. On arriving at the GZ Kiera quickly had the cache in hand SL TNLN. TFTC Postie Girl.

Find 11 for today.

I felt awful looking as a lady in the RSL was eagle eyeing us like we werent allowed to be there, so we became tourists taking photos of the kids with the statue, then sitting down for a break......I was relieved to go.

Everywhere we went around here we had a police car behind us, I was so worried lol

Found easy.See the soidler's statue there.T.N.L.N

Found easily on a father's day caching expedition. Had to use the old shoelace trick for this one!!! TFTC

This was number 19 of 36 caches for Team Waldron's and Trail06's big caching day out. It was a beautiful day and this is truly a lovely part of the world. Thanks for the cache.

Out for the day with Trail06.

He found it while I acted as decoy (that's my story)

Straightforward find and on a sunny Sunday arvo there was not too much mugglisation going on. TFTC.

Found it quickly before anyone else came along. Thanks pg06.

Found with BantamCT. Very quiet here today. Thanks for the cache.

Quick drive by on a Sunday night, but Kapunda was surprisingly busy.

Thanks for the cache cheers

Found during Kapunda Blitz, thanks Postie

#279

A quick find while geosons were used as a decoy.

Quick find on a day out with Skippy

Cheers and Happy Hunting Shane4

The tidiness of the area had me worried the cache might have been muggled, but another look proved it is still safely hidden. This town certainly has many war memorials!

Thank you for the cache.

Took a bit of searching, and Freddo says the area has been tidied up and trimmed back since his visit. Was a bit worried the cache had been cleaned away, but it was still there. The logsheet is starting to look a bit worse for wear though.

Thanks Postiegirl!

2nd find on the way to the Kapunda bakery for lunch. Good idea. Thanks PG

Rocky Glen Grommets found this one in the rain - a nice quick find.

Found it at 10.15 am in company with Murf66 and families. TFTC.

Found with Grant61 and families. Tftc

Found on our 4th C3 (Copper Coast Cachers) day with goingtheredoingthat and DeltaEcho. 4:30am till midnight!!!
Find #21 out of 57 for the day. What a FUN FUN FUN day!

Nice hide!

Another find on our 4th C3 - Copper Coast Cachers day.

Good to recognise the sacrifice of all who died for our country!

Found at midday with DeltaEcho and Psalm 118:24 while "Walking like a Geocacher" on our 4th C3 (Copper Coast Cachers) Crazy Caching Caper. Find #22 of 57 for the day.

Hey rocky, watch me pull a cache out of the hidey hole!

Couldn't find any mooses (or is it meece?) or squirrels, but we did find a cache.

TFTC

We really enjoy these memorials and as we were staying in town tonight we took the advantage of going down late evening to grab this cache. This worked well as there were relatively few people around and the cache was an easy find. It's great to see our war heroines getting the recognition they deserve
Thanks pg06 for the cache.

Day 223 of non-stop caching.

Another quick find this afternoon. TFTC

TFTC TNLN

Quick and easy find. Not so easy to sign log without being seen by muggles. TFTC.

Nice quick and easy find.

TFTC

Can't believe I overlooked the cache and nearly gave up. Was going to phone a friend, but went for one more look and there it was, right where the clue said it was. TFTC.

A tricky move getting this while muggles drove around staring at the strange person standing on the corner looking inconspicuous. I didn't realise Vivian Bullwinkel actually came from Kapunda, but it makes sense when seeing the monument to the nurses at the 'Lest We Forget' cache. TFTC.

Found by Swampy. Thanks to all the cachers that placed caches I found during this "Fly-in, cache, reunion, cache, fly-out" trip.

A quick find.

TFTC

Nice and quick find. TFTC

Plenty of muggles around GZ but managed to collect this one ok... TFTC

Saturday, 2:30pm: Let's go to Clare for the weekend!
Saturday, 3:00pm: Leave town
Sunday, 7:00pm: Home!
Somewhere in the middle: 35 caches!

It was cooler in the shade by the car anyway.

So straight forward that Anja hadn't even had the chance to leave the car

We stopped and planned our trip home, as there was some much needed shade and fresh air. We even resisted the temptation to get a nice cold beverage from the building next door

TNLNSL

Easy find, but tricky with all the muggles around especially right next to the bottle shop! TNLNSL TFTC

found just on dusk, wasn't on today's agenda but got side tracked and ended up in Freeling and Kapunda was then on the way home.... unfortunately that (almost dark) meant the site was not investigated as thoroughly as it should have been.... oh, well.... an excuse to venture this way again some time TNLNSL

cheers 4 da cache!

Find# 289
Took: Nothing / Left: Nothing
Just a pity that this memorial is adjacent to the bottle shop of the hotel. At least the memorial and its surrounds are well maintained by the council. TFTC postiegirl06.

Found @ 0830.

Found with ggkof whilst on our great Simpson Desert adventure. Nice easy find on a freezing cold morning, hope it's gonna be warmer in the desert! TNLN.

Found @ 8:35 with davroy while on a stop over heading north to Central OZ. Found after a short search. Not many muggles around on this cold 0 deg morning.

Had wanted to do this on the way back from CCC Event but didn't have the sheet with coords!! This time on the way back form the Riverland, a little night caching was in order Hope your seeking was muggle free. Mine wasn't and they must have thought that wierd lady with the wet shoes, taking photsos a of memorials at night...but then again they were in a the bottle-o!

12th and final find on the way back to Adelaide. I've heard about this incredible lady over time. Thanks for a bit of history Postiegirl.

Dropped in quicly to visit this wonderful lady. TFTC

A quick find before stopping for lunch. TFTC

There are times when you go on a caching run and when you get to logging them all, there's always one where you can't come up with anything to say. Well, for me today, it's this cache. TFTC

What a busy place with the comings and goings. I enjoyed finding out just what the cache name meant when I arrived at GZ. I'm amazed the cache has lasted with the bold hide.

Thanks again postiegirl.

Fortunately I was here early in the morning before the area got busy so it wasa quick find here as well[^]

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
No muggles around and only the occasional car at 7am on Sunday morning. Quick and easy find.
Thanks PostieGirl

No muggles about today. We had the place to ourselves. Quick grab whilst eating our pastries from the bakery. Took little pin... couldn't leave anything .. too small. TFTC..eatmorchickin and Stigglepot from Brisbane.

A quick stop on our way back from cadell
TNLN
Thanks Postiechick

What a good reason to stop here. The cache was exposed but apparently safe. TFTC

Accompanies with Skippy - Lovely town. SL. Thanks pg06 for organising the cache and hunt.

There is lots of interest in this monument these days. Thanks postiegirl.

Found on the way to the Cosy Corner Caching event. Easily found on a relatively quiet night despite it being the start of a long weekend.

found while caching with Alex. Nice easy find

This was fun at 11pm! Mabar staged a coughing fit to explain the need to stop the car and get out just there, with mrs m needing to assist by offering a drink of water. (The pedestrian passing by seemed to swallow that anyway!) SL TFTC

didnt need to pretend havin a coughing fit ..I was

Very interesting history. That is one tough lady.

For some reason we found this one straight away after having a long search during a previous visit. Had a member of the Great Pink Hunters with us also who was quick to find and log the cache. Thanks pg 06

Mum, STO.......................P, there's a cache!

Getting dark, and we were rushing home, but i had to get this one when we drove past and were within 10m. LOL.

After spending a week in FLinders Ranges, this was our 50th cache for the week!

Arrrrrrrrrrrgh How did I miss this one..must have forgotten to entre coords...I was there today!!!

Logged quickly. What a great recognition for what so many did. Thanks for taking me to it.

Found on the way home at 3am with a sick geokid. TFTC

Spotted it straight away after a moments worry it had been muggled.

Fairly busy, and didn't have time to hang around.

A busy spot

Thanks

Quiet today so it was a perfect opportunity to grab this cache but not before we had consumed a hamburger which was a very late lunch. Thanks pg06

Good to see Sister Vivian honoured wirth an AO and an MBE [^].
Quickly found.
SL.
Thanks PG.

After dinner at the pub we all walked along the main street to collect this cache. Mrs S was slightly distracted taking a phone call from England to announce the arrival of a new niece, then passing on the news to our daughter in Bangkok.

Have read quite a bit about the cache namesake and was impressed by her activities.
thanks postiegirl

Had to resort to the hint and even then I thought “No way!†But it was “Yes, WAY [^]â€. Signed the log with The Stanleys and went off in search of Harry Potter. After an enormous counter meal at the local, the walk was a life saver. I was fit to burst

29/12/2007 8.05am Team:A Day 59 of our November Challenge
For getting up so early, we were looking for a Moose & a Squirrel and found something entirely different, SL TFTC TN LN

2nd find on a public holiday it was a nice easy find

It looked pretty rocky when I found it! I spent all those years growing up in Kapunda, and never heard about vivian Bullwinkell, it seems she only became popular after I left. Silver after all this time. Cheers. MODU.

Do I get the Florence Nightingale Award for FTF too?? The question is did PG use her dog bitten finger to poke this one around? (pic)
