Found it after having lunch on a beautiful day just watching the ferry at work. Very pretty restful little town. Read about poor Harvey, found the cache. Thank you. Then checked the morge thinking it housed a pump. Eeeek. Made me jump. Freaky.

I am sure we have found this before, but maybe we forgot to log it!
Anyway it was an easy find in the afternoon after a rather soggy morning while holidaying in Morgan!

Great hiding spot, once we thought we had found the spot we had to look closely to find the geocache. Well concealed! TFTC!
 
14-Apr-17
I collected Alternika from her abode and then drove down and collected mogni from her Easter Weekend digs. Then off to the Golden Arches for Coffee where we met up with AnyMules. [^] All aboard the Morgan Express for hopefully Lunch! (except maybe one of two stops in between. Surprised
Okay so we made it to Truro for lunch. Maybe we might make Morgan by dinner time Razz
Hooray, the Morgan Express finally drives off the ferry at our Lunch Spot at about 8.30 p.m. [:0)]
Being Good Friday it looks like everything has shut up already so we decide to grab some caches and then figure out what to do.
One of the group had been here before and gives us some spurious advice. Must have moved as I found it in the rather obvious spot. Smile Being dark and torchlight certainly added to the experience of this place!
Thanks matmob for the placement Big Grin

Quick find creepy spot
 
14-Apr-17
Despite not being where Mogni said it was we still found it lol
 
14-Apr-17
Found while out for a day of caching with Brisal5, Mogni and alternika.

One of our party gave us some dodgy information before we searched for this one.

After we ignored that and searched where we thought it should be, the cache was quickly located.

Thanks for the cache matmob. Found on 14 Apr 2017 at 7:13 pm. Find #4539.

On the road to the Alice Springs Mega with LuckyL10n. We headed through Hay, Mildura, Loxton, Burra before arriving in Port Augusta for the trek up the highway. Collected a good number of caches and all were found with no issues and the logs were soon signed.

Thanks for the cache and fun in getting to it and finding it.

#6352 - 14:20; Day 4 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune. We are now headed from Barmera to Burra via Overland Corner, Waikerie, Blanchetown and Morgan plus a few other smaller towns. After starting the day by collecting a few caches along the shores of Lake Bonney, we had now reached Morgan after caching our way through Waikerie and Blanchetown on the way. We decided to collect a few caches in Morgan as we passed through on our way to collect some of the newer caches in the nearby TdF series which have appeared since our last visit in 2014. Picked this one up after crossing on the ferry. TFTC matmob Smile

Pa and I had spent a couple of hours on the TdeF trail this afternoon having arrived in town at lunch time. I sitting quietly logging my finds when I noticed something on the side of a vehicle parked very nearby. Of course I had to investigate and the next time I saw the owner, I asked if he was heading to Alice Springs. Yes he said, Are you too?
Yes it was Team Robins with the Geocaching Management Vehicle. We shared chit chat, had a couple of drinks and then revived Pa and I set out to find 3 nearby caches.
It was 3 out of 3 and only 1 more to do in town across the ferry before we tackle the rest of the TdeF trail tomorrow before heading off again towards Alice Springs for the Event over Easter.
TFTC Stamped log.

Quick find and then run to catch the ferry. One routing program said we could cross the river here and our Nuvi said no way. We forced her to navigate to the river's edge using this geocache.
