Even though previous cachers haven't been able to find this cache, I thought seeing I was in the area , I would give it a go. No luck either. Has it been muggled?????
Was here with a previous finder and we checked every place a cache could be hidden with no luck.
By ignoring the hint we eventually found it! Claytons hint indeed! Great spot for a cache though.
Riding through the area on the Bicycle SA Annual Tour, travelling from
Adelaide to Renmark and stopping at various towns along the way with 200
other riders.
Riding day 9 the last day and a quick trip around before breakfast with Sushi Lord
An easy find

Late afternoon sees Mrs one-eyed and I off for a walk from our overnight caravan park stay in Renmark.
Over the famous Paringa Bridge and down the raod to the cache location.
Found the cache after lots of thought and my trusty LED torch.

Today we had no plan! [^] So after some maintenace on the GeoCruiser it was nearly 11am already.
Hmmm what will we do[?] Mrs Felix suggested a drive to the border - just beacause we can Well Im not sure how or why but that's exactly what we did.
Of course we managed to grab just a few caches along the way and it was a great chance to drop off some trackables that we have had for far too long.
Thanks to Gum-Ako for helping us explore this wonderful area. [^]

A simple park and grab this afternoon with sesblocker. Waited until a nearby couple were distracted before retrieving the cache and signing the log. TFTC!
Found this one with The Neighbs while caching in Paringa. A nice old machine! TFTC!
Found It!
I was a little surprised to come across a Gum-Ako cache up this way! After a bit of a search I spotted the cache and it was quite a bit bigger than what I was expecting!

Met up with mogni in the Riverland for an event in Berri Today. We stayed at Renmark overnight and had finished with 3 DNF's in the dark. Up early we thought we would revisit these in the light before breakfast. We then moved onto easier caches.
After a quick search the eagled eyed mogni spied this cache. Thanks Gum-ako.

Found this on a very early morning walk after staying overnight with my wife while visiting the mother in law in Paringa.It was just beginning to get light while I was searching and muggles were starting to drive by which made the use of a torch a bit sus.After looking in all the wrong places the cache was finally found in a fairly open place.I may have been over thinking this one!!

Day 2 of Sully1 and my trip to the mega at Murray Bridge via Mildura. This was a little confusing as it may have done a little cache creep, but still a brave hide and a simple find.
Thanks for highlighting this spot Lyn

Bogonghazy had the right idea, he looked in the opposite area to me, and he came up with the goods here. Thankfully it was found quicker than it could have been. Thanks to Jelly & Beans for highlighting this important part of our history and the cache.
Awesome cache - I am into museums
Lucky platypus coin not here. Must have been taken and not logged yet??
Had some other coins visit with me.

Think we mixed up our N, S, E, W here......but the cache was spotted after a couple of minutes and all was good.
Thanks for the cache and look at the relic from the past....

#1683 - 13:05; Day two of Sol de lune and Lucky'L10n's great big SA Road trip was off to an early, but wet, start. First stop after lunch and after some refresher training on directions and which way is up, we made the find. TFTC Gum-Ako
Unless we're totally disoriented, this cache might not be in the correct spot. We passed to again later and noticed people right where we stood, was that you Sol and Lucky? TFTC Gum-Ako.
No trouble reaching this today.
Is it in the right spot?
No coin in there either!

Found during our trip to Renmark for a few days. Thanks for the cache Gum Ako!
Found this one, thinking it may have fallen out from where its meant to be. TFTC
Hot day made this a little tricky- hot metal, ouch! Turned out it wasn't in a spot i needed to worry about anyway
Warm day to be around a steam engine
Expected to find trackable but was not there

# 5476. Our last day in SA as Robmc and I head for the border and Mildura today. It has been a big week so far with a few of the Power Trails and Series completed.
A bright little engine we did spy after crossing the bridge today. Found this cache surprisingly quickly and it didn't seem to relate to the clue. The TB is long gone into the geoaching wilderness.
Thanks Gum-Ako

Found with Donnazev. Her first introduction to caching and I think she is hooked.

Day five of my caching trip with J+J.au and Wilbert67. We stopped at various caches along the way as we made our way home. Once again geocaching has shown us some very spectacular locations, interesting items and sometimes just testing our resolve. Thanks to my fellow cachers for the company. Lots of fun SL..TFTC
Some great old machinery around here! All looking in good condition as wel.

Great piece of machinery.
A relatively easy find considering the possibities.
Thanks Gum-Ako.
There is no trackable in the cache ( and apparently hasn't been there for years!)
