History Hidden Williamstown, South Australia, Australia
By 'scargoes on 16-Jan-08. Waypoint GC18ND8

Was a quick find after doing the lab adventure

Took a little while to locate just before the rains came

Was able to see it first go in the daylight Completely different place to where I was looking when I came at nightCan be tricky getting the cache if muggles around Fortunately today the place is empty .TFTC

Mmm it was dark

Very cool.

Looked and looked but this one evades us.

Sounds like our "missing cache" returned... Well until we get back to here, there' double the chance of you finding it!

Looks like we found the original as there are plenty of old logs in it?? TFTC

Found a cache at GZ with logs back to 2018 or os, not the new replacement

A cache was found at GZ. Was it the right one? Some old logs in this one.TFTC

Missing, so we've replaced it Cheers6 May 2024 13:38

No luck today with this one

Not able to find this one this morning. TFT hunt 'scargoes.

Couldnt find it

Had a big hunt for this one. Searched all around. Looked at the hint. Google. Then looked at the appropriate area and found it.Logging this one after realising not logging it on the day of the find.TFTC SL

Sucks but couldn't find it

Great spot

Found it after a minute or 2! TFTC

Quick find. Tftc HouseofJones

A bit of a side trip to Kersbrook and Williamstown for an afternoon of caching in the Spring sunshine. I picked up a few traditionals, multis and a couple of solved mysteries. An enjoyable time with some well maintained caches. Thanks for the cache 'scargoes.# # #13351 # #

Thanks again Lava 12

Beautiful spot

Revisited with Molly Squib TFTC again!

I had a look for this one on a trip to the north of Adelaide with Freddo.

It was a great day to be out and about and we targeted a few caches of interest - some simple drive-bys and others involving a walk or a pole.

Unfortunately I couldn't find this one.

Found it

Looked all over high and low no joy today

Agree with others about the clue , it was a distraction, but found it nice and quick , TFTC

Found

Had a run through the countryside today with goingplaces2 and found a good selection of mostly multi caches with some trads in the mix. All logs were signed and then put back into place. TFTC.

Came along with ilook4geo and really enjoyed seeing the history mural wall nearby. This cache area was well worth the visit and the cache did not take too long to find after confirming the general area by reading previous logs. Thanks go to 'scargoes for placing this cache.

A well hidden location and a well hidden cache. Spotted from one side giving me the confidence to reach where I needed to. TFTC

An adhoc Thursday public holiday where respect to Elizabeth II comes in many forms. For me it was a day dedicated to caching, and finding new paths with old friends while Charles III gets settled in. The plan was hatched, after a good breakfast it was off to the den to pick up the Rat. We enjoyed the great sunshine traveling from town to town, gathering smileys and clearing our game board as we went. A super day which included trads, puzzles, multi’s and 3 AdLabs, I even managed some maintenance along the way.

Thanks for the cache 'scargoes, find #7359 at 10.48am. I was nearby for the new multi, and after collecting the numbers the Rat was happy for me to seek this one out. I tried this side then that side, and saw it from afar. Returning to that side I put my hand on it and wrenched it free. Cache in good condition, signed and returned as found. Thanks for the hunt and the fun.

Great place took us a minute but after reading a comment about ignoring the clue, we too looked in the usual spots. Where we found it, I would have considered a higher terrain. Not sure if it's been moved. Replaced where we found.TFTC

Easy find after a bit of searching with a muggle friend. TFTC

Another chilly and misty morning out with iluvtrekking on our last day in the Barossa area. Had no luck here several years ago but a quick remedy today.

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

Our last full day in the Barossa and another chilly day, perfect day for caching. Thanks

Out for a days caching in the area, targeting a few specific caches to help complete our Day Hidden calendar and our Jasmer Calendar. Lots of great caches were found, some very creative while others had great views. This one helped clear one of the two outstanding Hidden Day calendar caches.

Was very happy that it was a quick find and fortunate that no wasps were seen on this awesome day. TFTC

First cache trip for many many years TFTC

Too many wasps around.

We persisted and found it with great difficulty! Be careful, there's a wasp nest on the bridge my son got stung by which i thought was the cache from a distance?? TFTF

Found this cache after having a drink and a cake at the nearby cafe with jambochicken. I was a little waylaid from checking the usual spots by looking at the hint, but in the end I spotted it TFTC!

A DNF 2 days ago and a find today
Went away and thought about the hint & the description, really obvious once you think about it, Top cache

Will have to try another day, no sign of it

Hard one to find, not where you think it is!

Found after a little poking around. Tftc

After a number of DNFs and an automated email from Geocaching HQ, we'll try to drop past and do a check this week. Cheers 'scargoes

Looked everywhere, couldn't find

I searched but unfortunately couldn't find the cache.

Myself and mini itsandbits looked up and down and around and around.... we were determined until a 8legged little friend scared us off... beautiful spot though.

In and around Williamstown for the weekend with the geo-pup. Day 3, Anzac Day.

Lovely area, and a remarkably quick find, coords are spot on. Fave from us.

TFTC

Might be time for the ol’ CO check me thinks
Not found today

No luck here today unfortunately

The History is still Hidden! Looked high and low, but nowhere to be found
On my home from a special birthday party and picking up a cache or two.
TFTC Keep Smiling

Bit dark tonight for this one

I made hard work of this one! Two previous attempts were called off early because of muggle clusters, but today I had the place to myself bar a couple of interruptions. Still took a while! Thanks for the hunt!

Morning trail run in Parra Wirra came to Williamstown for a milkshake. TFTC

After a visit to the local bakery, a short walk was in order to find a couple of local caches. This was our second find.

Quick and easy, Nice spot

Plenty here to attract the lodestone, but still couldn't figure it out. Quite a few muggles on thes pleasant sunday afternoon.

A reasonably quick find once i decided a certain spot wasn't where it was gonna be found, was dismissed... funny that
With Micro-Muggles in range i was in 100% stealth-mode and reading the end of the geocache description hinted to me where it wasn't hidden, this made the search time brief [^] how i like it when Muggles are near [:o]

SL at 11:27 on 22/2/20.

[Loved the Mural and the footy team's logo at the car park end ]

Find No. 3025. Found with FUF009 at 4.15pm

On our annual holidays to South Australia for the Tour Down Under Bicycle Race and staying in Mount Barker Caravan Park for the week.

For the first day of the TDU we went up to Tanunda to watch the riders go by serveral times. After that we headed up to Nurioopta to see John at Geostuff and pick up an order we had placed. Then on our way home we stopped off here and there finding caches along the way.

First stop was Williamstown. We parked the van and went for a short walk to locate the hide. Both Mr Tyred n Cranky and FUF009 had a joint effort in getting to this one. With log signed it was back to the van for a quick cuppa and eats before we continued on back to what we call home for the week.
(No. 1 of 9 finds for the day)

TFTC

Find # 8741

Over in SA, with Tyred n Cranky, for the Tour Down Under and as normal Mount Barker is our Home for the week.

We spent the first day of the TDU up at Tanunda and watched the riders go past a few times. after the finish we headed North to "Nuri" to GeoStuff to pick up our order of caching goodness the headed back to Mount Barker.
Seeing as the day was not as hot as expected we managed to get a few caches on the way down.

After a quick look at the shops at Williamstown we parked up under the big tree and checked the GPS for caches. "wow there one just over there" a short walk and we soon had the cache in hand it was a joint effort with Mr Tyed n Cranky on one side directing my hands to the cache.

Day 241

'Tis a lovely little spot the locals have hidden here
And a stroll from the pub,
past history and a bakery,
got me mural-side

Surprisingly muggle free today !! [:o]
So a scramble around GZ was in order
It was while monkeying around,
that I spied the cache from a few metres away.

More monkeying,
and while hanging on for dear life,
I managed to get the cache in paw
TFTC for sure [^]

An adventurous morning joining a group of Geocachers to visit Para Wirra Recreation Park and complete a Zytheran cache abseil, which involved a small bush bash, but a lot of fun climbing down a cliff. That took a few hours, and then [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I collected a few geocaches in nearby Williamstown, followed by a drive to Tanunda to have lunch at the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company. We enjoyed a unique chocolate and wine pairing tasting at this newly opened attraction pushing an age of six months. Finally, a short drive and visit to the Barossa Valley Sculpture Park was an interesting experience, before heading home in the late afternoon.

This was a great little park and side detour, and we enjoyed the walk from the car past the mural. We even had a chuckle at the strange sign next to the bridge that must be warning people of the slippery hazard, but with the encouragement from the mural, someone has added to the painting to turn it into two snakes?!

Once at GZ, we started looking around for the obvious next to the meshed off rock pile. No sign of a cache within that initially, but continued looking. We widened the search, and I started reading past logs to see if they could offer any hints. However I took bgmat's advice and looked to see something from the other side. So I was pretty close all along. Returned back to where the coordinates had me, and sure enough, the container was found. Container and logbook in good shape - thanks 'scargoes for pointing out this nice local gem location!

Sneaky hide! Driving around the area today, great murals on the wall!

Found it this time on the way to Williamstown Pub for Father's Day lunch.

Thanks 'scargoes for the cacher

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was heading to a nearby work location and the phone rang so pulled in to answer it. When the call was completed I looked at the map and saw that this cache was less than 100m away. OK, lets have a look for it. Wandered to GZ and started the search. Had a good idea where the cache was but was not coming up with anything. Kept looking and finally spotted the cache from the opposite side. Wandered back to GZ and soon had the cache in hand, log signed and the cache returned to its hide.
Gratias pro cache 'scargoes

Think out side of the rocks sneaky spot left a frog plastic

Sneaky spot, but it’s there! TFTC

Couldn’t find it

Tftc originally could not find this one, but back in the area for work i had a look early morning and found it!

Oh boy... it means I must go back again as I failed to find it, even with my husband's help. We had our lunch at Williamstown Hotel for Mother's Day.

Lots of time looming but no luck

Didn’t present itself in the time I had.

Found it after a spot of lunch at the bakery. Tftc

Took a bit of finding this one but glad we persevered. TFTC.

We have been in the area for a couple of days for Orienteering. Finally stopped here to make this find. We have orienteered on Mount Crawford and found some geocaches on Little Crawford, so enjoyed seeing the map with contours on the mural, too.

Staying in Williamstown for the Australian Orienteering Champs. Found with Edvern - what interesting history, loved the murals. TFTC from NZ.

Here for the orienteering with Tramper Ted. Found this one after today’s event. Thanks to the CO for bringing us here. A beautifully presented mural displaying the local history. Good coordinates for finding the cache too. A favourite added and greetings from New Zealand.

What a lovely area hidden down there. Spent some time checking out the mural before wandering over to look for the cache.
After a lengthy and unsuccessful search we returned to the van to grab the phone so we could check out some previous logs. It turned out we had been wrong with our theory on where this one would be. No doubt we were swayed by previous caches we had found.
When we returned and searched in the correct place Mr Beetle spotted the cache and guided Mrs Beetle to the correct spot to retrieve it.
Thanks.

Found with GeckoJ, fulffymaxi, Ismartis, JJ52, Jamballdonut and 3LG after spending the afternoon finding Hidden Creatures on the Animal Fiction trail. This was on the way to the event and for most of the group it was a new find, so we all stopped to make the find.
