I have replaced this cache 5 times this last year. I suspect the locals take it. Checked on it 10 days ago, replaced it and it is gone again. This gorgeous little place has had its time .

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.

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.

In the Barossa, staying in Nuri with our good friends Snappy Tom Cats. Today our final trip (hopefully) into Gawler for medicals, then drive back via Tanunda and Anguston.

Have passed this location several times over the past few weeks, today, finally had the time and inclination to pull in. Glad we did, how cute is that post office.

BUT, despite there being two pine cone trees, one callistamon bush and a big log, we were not able to find this cache.

Found late one night with Skuzzybear, after a long day going to Victoria for a cache then a bunch of wherigos. Due to some extremely bad planning on my part we started the day two hours late, but then that would have allowed two more hours on the bike wherigos and we would still be late at night here.

Alas being late at night I didn't notice the cute post office beside, the posted phots sure present a different view when the big light in the sky is switched off!

Many thanks for the cache, and the great company throughout the day. SmileSmileSmile

Had to rely on the photo hint to find this one on this warm October evening; but easily found once we were looking at the right piece of timber! Tnlnsl, TFTC.
 
29-Aug-19
Last time we targeted this cache during a streak it was missing in action. This time, thanks to skuzzybear, there was a cache to find. Nice little PO with a nice big log (and a little log too!). TFTC postiegirl06 and skuzzybear.

The usual Wednesday Wander for members of the Puzzled Puzzlers saw only myself and Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rat available for the day. Surprised Time to take the circuitous route between the main arterial roads cleaning out all those caches just a little off the beaten track. Razz Of course we also needed to pick up a few that had popped up in the main towns since the last time we had been through. Cool

Heading home I decided to call in and grab this cache. Luckily I had the Rat with me as my GPS wanted me in a completely different location to where I found the cache. Smile The clue and spoiler photo give the away the hide but I think the coords need to be update to: S34°30.820 E138°48.875

**Thanks skuzzybear for this cache. ** Big Grin

Mother's Day...what else would I be doing...actually heading to Angaston for Mother's Day dinner...my daughter is working so she's cooking for me...
I picked up her boyfriend and took him along...he's never geocached before and I'm still not sure what he thinks of it...we only did 5, this was the last one...
I didn't need to get out of the car...I pointed to where I could see it was hidden & my companion grabbed the cache & put our names in the logbook...

Found on a roundabout way home after a long weekend in Nuri. We've never had reason to pull off the main road here, but so glad we did today - a fave point from us - not so much for the cache itself, but for bringing us to this great little location. TFTC

This is the quaintest PO I have seen in my travels. Such a wonderful place to put a cache. Fav point from me on this

Storm Dancer and I went into the Barossa this weekend to see the 2017 Vintage festival and market. We caught the end of the parade and then walked around the stalls had some lunch and found this caching or way home.

Last day in SA for a while moving the caravan to storage before heading to the airport.

With so much rain over the last few days it would be silly to go off the side of the road, but when you have to do u-turn with a 30ft caravan thats what you have to do. Surprised After almost getting bogged [:o)] we pulled over to find your cache.

All signed then it was off to continue our Journey. Cool

Indeed a cute little post office.

A late start to the day today, with a tyre change needed and then brunch at the local retro cafe. Then the call from locus cache came through and we were on our way. AlphaDeltaIndigo very much wanted to do the combination caching/wine tasting so north we headed. Starting at Mawson Lakes, then up through the Barossa and we took the long way back home. An epic journey that involved 4x4 winches, caves, wine and lots of laughs Big Grin.

Well, I'm not sure what I was doing but I was way off for this one. After searching the outside of the fence for a while, ADI and PK1965 called found it from a good 14 metres away! Looks like my caching mojo has run out for this trip.

This was find number 21 of 29 for the afternoon for me. TFTC postiegirl06!
