An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -
One or more of the following has occurred:
No response from the cache owner.

Cache is missing. Confirmed by a previous finder. Needs co to replace the cache

As a previous finder, I visited the area that the final is in (as I was launching my kayak there) and like Mogni I also found that the container was missing. Looks like there has been some tree pruning and the container has been removed.
Can the CO please check and replace?

I got through all the way points but after digging around at GZ no luck for me. There has been some cutting in the area and cache may have gone. I am happy to check again (assuming I was in the right spot) or replace if needed.

After a DNF in June (after being unable to find a container at WP1), I came back home and did a bit more research on this one (reading logs and viewing photos) and managed to work out where WP2 was. Visited WP2 and the found the necessary info for WP3. Made the journey there and walked north by 50m and there was the cache! Found and log signed!
I noted that the CO hasnt logged on in over 2 years, so I sent an email requesting the container for WP1 be reinstated, and the CO replied back and gave me permission to do it. So there is now a fake stone near the stone hut that contains the coords to WP2 for future cachers to find.
Thanks for the cache autumleaf!

A frustrating DNF for this one. Firstly that the coords for WP1 are in the middle of the road and need to be updated, and secondly I searched everywhere for the microcache around the hut and the gardens for over 20 mins and couldnt find anything, short of doing damage to the structure and the gardens. Can the CO please update the coords AND check that the microcache is still there.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

A lovely multi in a nice area

Defeated at WP1.

We have to admit that we chickened out at the first way point - it's a really interesting old building, and funny to see the modern houses and roads built all around it, but felt too exposed to hunt for the cache.
After reading through the past logs, and making some educated guesses, we arrived at a promising location. Given the length of time since the last find and our questionable method in working out the final GZ, we were pleasantly surprised to find the cache sitting the first place we looked!
TFTC!

Found whilst down in Victor Harbor for the day,
tftc

Staying in Victor for a week and checked out a few caches before leaving home. Saw previous log about WP1 so I decided to see if I could work it out without visiting WP1. [?] [?]
With some help from Google Earth I was able to come up with some viable coordinates and today while I was out walking I went to my GZ and immediately spied what I thought could be a good place for the hide, and would you believe a cache was found. [^] [^]
I felt very pleased with myself, signed the log, replaced and continued on my walk.
Thanks for the cache autumleaf.

I think the first way point is MIA. Interesting little shed...which surprisingly I'm linked to by marriage to the local Pearce whom we had just returned from visiting

Out for the day caching with Pprass finding some of the caches around Victor Harbor and Goolwa.
Thanks Autumleaf for the multi,
Regards The Coffee's.

Found at 11:24 AM GAFF5 in the company of The Coffees.
On our way to the mouth of the Murray we decided to pick up a few nearby caches. A nice little tour of the area, but we drove even though we were camped at the nearby caravan park as we just didn't know where we were going to end up
Thanks autumleaf.

Found today with earthlight and 3LG
TFTC

A beautiful day to be out caching with friends.
A simple multi soon in hand.
Took trackables to visit.TFTC

tb visits

was out for the day with locus cache, to go to the event on wright island to met the yanks, roadroach58, from alabama., what an eventful day it was.

took us awhile to work out which way north was, but we found it while the others went and got the trad near by

489

Found on a caching day out with Mr & Mrs Honeysucker, Max and TilleyTB
Sorry for the late log...no internet!
TFTC

I picked up chrispy89 at 7am and returned him home at 11.30pm after attending the excitement filled Meet and Greet Wright Here event at Victor Harbor
All up, I managed 16 smileys for the day's locus cache efforts.

Fascinating multi, especially that twist on the end.... I thought North was THAT way
Still, the joys of group caching....someone always thinks outside the usual patterns

TNLN. SL. TFTC autumleaf

Today we had the "Meet and greet Wright here" and while we were here we did a few caches, saw a couple of whales just off shore which was worth stopping caches and admire these wonderfull animals : )

Fairly nice GZ, took a small rest before continuing.

After the meet & greet we continued our convey to this cache as locus had info for the multi.
But waypoint 3 stumped us and the rest walked to find the other traditional close by.
We eventually met locus near the bridge and Crispy & Shaido still looking in nearby trees.
We found a nearby location that hadn't been searched and whammo, found the cache.
Nice evening with little muggles around near WP3, cheers autumleaf.

Found it with Crispy.

Find this one while going for a skate on my board. not a good idea to walk this one...
TFTC

Unfortunately for us, it was quite a windy/drizzley miserable day but that didn't stop our geocaching adventure. We set off after the rain cleared and found 11 treasures, with 2 non-finds. The Heysen Trail was certainly something that we'll never forget, and our feet won't either!

This was our second try at this one. Last time, the always reliable car decided to stop working/starting TWICE so we thought we'd try again another time. We got to stage 3 and looked around for a while before reading the final piece of the description. Once we'd gone 50m, there is was. Awesome multi, nice to learn a bit of history, thank you very much!

Spent the day out caching with Firesafe heading south
and which way interesting history good hide

Another day heading south with the goal of getting to Victor Harbor and today we finally made it but it took 5 hours to get there - too many distractions (caches) along the way. It was good day with 57 finds, 3 hides and a little sunburn.

Apart from a few walkers, all was quiet here - grabbed the TB's to move on. TFTC.

A nice wander around the streets. Love the building at the first waypoint!!!!! Thanks autumnleaf ..... definite favourite!!

Found whilst out on a days caching with CPWanderer.

A very good cache. All locations were interesting. Thank-you for the entertainment.

Enjoyed this one...very clever...TFTC

Interesting cache. Bit wet underfoot but we got there TFTC autumnleaf

We attempted this cache yesterday, but the co-ords had us in the middle of the road. After a some searching we gave up.
During the evening I worked on this cache & came up with a possible answer to the finial GZ. So, this morning we drove to the possible location & walked north as required & we found the cache. Just proves that you can do this cache without doing all 3 stages [^]. SL TNLN TFTC

An multi taking one to places of interest in the area. Thanks autumleaf.

Quick find while oldest geo daughter [:X] getting her learn to drive hours up.
Just attended Port Elliot - Seaside Four-shore Event
TFTC autumleaf

Great day out with Dad, getting the driving hours up.
Found after the Port Elliot event.
TFTC!

Found on a bike ride.

Found It!
Once I had convinced myself that WP1 was not in the middle of the road it became a simple and interesting multi...
TFTC

We went to WP1 and were quite impressed with the structure there. Unfortunately there was a muggle painting his house in full view of us and watching us so we couldn't look for the cache. Mrs TiedyeSmileys then used her super puzzle solving skills on this and we went to where we thought WP3 would be which looked good, then off to GZ and there was cache .

TFTC

Nice and easy cache on our way home.
TFTC

This was the highlight of our day trip to Victor. What an odd thing to find in the middle of what is now suburbia ! Initially, I thought it was a modern reconstruction of a bit of nostalgia until I read the plaque and realised it was original. So glad they decided to preserve it. It must be a talking piece among the neighbours? . My only criticism of the cache is the poor co-ords. They appeared to be in the middle of the road some 15m from where it was eventually found; and we only found it because Auzee spotted it pretty much uncovered (I missed it ). I took a reading whilst recording the next WP and have included that in my log if it helps anyone else?.
I also didn’t really understand why we didn’t have to calculate a final co-ord from the numbers on the plaque, rather that a nebulous “50m North”? (it was 40m, in fact). But for all that, the final loc was pretty obvious, as there really wasn’t any other hiding places close to that direction and distance.
We used the nearby seat to quietly sign the log whilst many people strolled by, but made no swaps. Cheers. Really loved the stone hut [^] .

Catching up on my logging before the new year. TNLN. TFTC

Enjoyed the hunt although the GPSr said 17m away at the stone hut.
six years of living here and i didn't know about that one.

Enjoyed this short multi, interesting stone hut out of place with all the new development that is going on in the area TFTC TNLN

Fun multi but at the end we had muggles to wait for.

Great multi with great waypoints. Made the find in the dark without a torch! TFTH autumleaf

This multi ends in a nice spot. Almost got busted.

Found on a geocaching weekend with Team Jacob and Crystaldragon79 - we had to chuckle at WP1 obviously when things are heritage listed, it is easier to just build around them. TFTC very interesting

found on geocaching holiday with parislaura and team jacob
TFTC

Very interesting cache, second coordinates took us to a very interesting find! Had a muggle walking his dog scratching his head while three ladies were looking a little weird in our beanies and scalves. TNLN TFTC

WP1 had me looking for a while. Co-ords had me about 10m away from the obvious spot as in the previous logged entry. Eventually found. At GZ the cache was totally exposed but still in its spot so put some camo over it. TNSL. L:Goecoin A husker down under. TFTC and interesting WP1.

Found whilst on a holiday to Middleton. Love this area. WP1 was about 15m away from where the GPS said 0m, and the nearby dog would not shut up. Easy find at GZ TFTC.

Found this today, been meaning to do this one for about 4 months( print out is dated 5/10/09 ) & had'nt checked the later logs, talk about make it hard for myself!!, Stone hut had me looking at the bitumen?? Took a shortcut and found the clue to the next Co ords straight out from there. Thanks for the journey.TNLN. I believe this is my CENTURY find.

took us ages to find.found the right place.TFTC

very hard but fun, took long time , TFTC

Out for the day with spuddymoore and BRAYDO SURFS!
A busy little find. Found places I didn't even know existed in Victor.
Cheers.
TFTC

Yay, finally found it. We have had this one in the GPS for ages. With a bit of time to kill we decided to search for this one.
No swaps, SL
Thanks Autumleaf.

Victor Harbour is a fantastic place to cache in and as this was my first visit here I had loads of caches to choose from.
I drove up to the stone hut but decided that there were too many people watching to try and find the container so I did a little speculating instead.
I came up with a likely set of coords and was pleased to fand the cache, thus bringing up my 1000th multi find.
Really enjoyed the challenge.
Thanks to Autumleaf.
TNLN

A nice multi to do while visiting Victor harbour
Thanks Autumleaf

Finally return back to finish off... No swap. SL. Thanks Autumleaf for organising the cache and hunt.

What a cool hut. Amazing story on the plaque too. Only problem was before we even got out of the car we had a resident looking out his window at us. He just stood at the window a watched us the whole time. I had a feeling that we were being watched from another house too. After a bit of a look, the guy staring out the window (and not responding even when we waved to him) and the GPSr pointing to a piece of bitumen in the middle of the road, we decided to leave.
I can understand the attraction to bring people to this cool hut with lots of history BUT if I was a resident here I would be wary (as I am at home) of strange cars pulling up in my street and hence probably would have chosen not to have hidden a waypoint in such a suburban street. Oh well. Hey, how about turning wp1 into getting info off the plaque instead of scrounging around looking for a micro?
Anyway, I was looking forward to the rest of the cache as I really liked the hut.

4th find of the day and 1843rd total find at 11:05.

It's not often that we get to go caching this far from home, but as we are both very fortunate to have a couple of weeks off - - -. By good planning or design this cache was on our list.

Who would have known that this relic was here @ WP1?

Took: Nothing
Left: Screwdriver
Thanks Autumleaf for the cache.
Ian and Penny

Correcting typo and dropping off TB. Beautiful day
went for a paddle in kayak near by.

The given co-ords need to be updated to match the start point!

This took us a while as we didn't fully understand that stage one WAS at the first coordinates! The fact that stage 1 coordinates are written as different coords to the site download coords threw us. After a fruitless search on a rocky roadside we realized our mistake. Thnaks for the tour of Victor Harbours' geography and history.

Wonderful bit of history at Stage 1. Never knew it existed (but where are we going to park when they've built all the houses around it?) Very interesting multi. TN LN TFTC

Loved WP 1.Had to clean the bird droppings of WP 2 before we could get the answer. Finally found cache but had to have a chat with a muggle before he would leave and we could safely replace. Thanks Autumleaf for the cache and hunt.

Found it with my friend's help.
Thanks Autumleaf for the cache.

When I got to the last waypoint read up on the history then did a slow circle.
Yep over there I recon and it was.
Logged and re hidden between all those active people out enjoying the day.

Way points were 20m out - but easy anyway. Love the hut! Thanks.

What an interesting building at the first way point. GZ had us in the middle of the road, but common sense prevailed and container quickly in hand. We worked out the other waypoints and were hit with Deja vu. After checking a couple of possible final places, Mr O came up with goods only to be swooped with the not-so-friendly magpies. TFTC

Loved wayponit 1 especially the roof cladding and how it was secured.

We have a sense of deja vu at gz. Took Japan geocoin.

Nice locations, I liked them all! Stage 1 coords were quite a bit off for me and I'm glad I spied the hiding place fairly quickly. I had heaps of satellites locked so my waypoint should be pretty accurate. I grabbed the cruiserdude geocoin and left a Japan geocoin. Thanks! (Sue-Cat)

Droped a goody in our own cache.Cheers.

Thanks for the Cache, some nice spots, although we felt pretty exposed at the first point, was hard to tell if muggles were watching!

Took torch, left crazy bone.
TFTC!

Sweet caching experience. Love your work. Thanks guys.

We progressively worked through this one in conjunction with other caches we have been doing in the area. An interesting cache hunt. TNLN. Thanks Autumleaf

Quick visit to grab the swag and move it on.

Found at 3.30pm. Nice simple multi in a beautiful area. I too enjoyed the WP1 hut.

I poked around the old structure and shone my torch through the gaps in the roof. Very interesting and a complete surprise for me (I'd been going and staying around here since the early '60's and never noticed this gem from the past before) [^]. Then off to Yilki and the band was just warming up. As I found the second WPT the smell of wood oven fired pizzas met me. Damn hard to resist but I did. A quick find at the end of the journey after a couple of looks.

Thanx to Autum leaf for this highly recommended multi from TeamAstro. [^]

What a great multi.

Simple and enjoyable, although the co-ords for the starting point had me 20m down the road.

Took Travel Bug

Thanks!

Afterdark caching on a nice winter night ... Encounter Bay is still beautiful ... T TB L Lucky Penny TB TFTH

Finding the clue at WP1 was much easier in the daylight I found!
Then the rest fell into place quickly and I was rewarded by a nice sunset and find at GZ [^]
Left a magnificent Rainbow Snake geocoin here for the next finder to enjoy as well.
Cheers, TFTC.

Tin for the Hurtles.
Those listed co-ords are away off. I did mark the spot wioth the gps, and now cannot locate it!
Anyway, was a nice little tour of some interesting spots. Apart from the 1st point, I had none of the drams that the Wannabes had!
TNLNSL
Thanks
Grabbed the Suncatcher Coin also.

dropped off suncatcher.

We bombed out with the first two waypoints, but guessed the location of the "clue only " one. Found the well hidden cache and left a golf ball, took the boomerang keyring. For the sake of our own self esteem we will back track one day soon and check out the first two clues Many thanks.

We were prepared to dash off south to bag this one when the notification came up but then we thought, ‘Oh no! the Wannabe Nomads will be there’, and so it proved. Congratulations. However we were content with Silver at 1230 hrs. We enjoy a touch of history in a cache and loved the Stone Hut, something that we had never seen before.
T: Teddy bear keyring
L: Boomerang keyring
TFTC Autumleaf and congratulations on your first multi.

FTF... EVENTUALLY.
We would have been nice and cheezed if we didn't get it, after all our "efforts"[:(!]
Well.... Started this cache at night. Boy was the house owner over the road interested in our every move Number one spotter( AKA Nomad Son) found the clue first. . Jotted down the next co-ords then headed back home for a bit of sleep. [|)]...it was late you know...
Awoke, not so bright, and not so early and headed off to the next stage.
Found the clue easily... more about that later... and headed off. The co-ord I entered suprisingly headed to one of our other caches. HMMM.
Anyway off we went. Blonde and Blonder and black dog headed to what we thought was GZ.When we arrived, I thought, this can't be right. Then Miss blonde says the number was something else. Oops.
Entered the correct ones then made a significant back track...
WHAT.. I said.. We are going to another place near to one of our other caches!!!!!! [?] ... or are we?
FINALLY... " near GZ" was found...off again.
Muggles everywhere... of course. Just more icing on the morning cake!!!!... Wait, we didn't even have coffee yet.
I needed COFFEE and a toilet break, but we were not going to be defeated by such distractions.
Well, after all the "detours" GZ was actually very quick to find!!!
Thanks for the fun.
Then it was off to Maccas for some COFFEE, and sustainance.
THE END !!!!!
