Ants and bugs, pity to see this area overgrown.

Great little spot... you would just drive past this not knowing whats behind all that over grown plants.

Ants everywhere on the plant you are required to push past.. so be careful.

TFTC Very Happy

Found this cache at 9:50 am while on a 5 day adventure down the Yorke Penninsular before a vintage car rally at Easter in the port Pirie area. Nearly got ran over by 3 darting oldies on there gopher scooters. (one even had a trailler on behind) and then ants everywhere. The cache was sitting out in the open so we put it back to were the clue would have it.
Thanks Psalm 118:24 for the hide.

07-Dec-11
Mr Bushies2 found it easily however the ants were all over him! Thanks Psalm 118:24.
 
07-Dec-11
After a fruitless search and getting covered in angry ants we eventually realised that what we had discounted as rubbish on the ground was in fact various parts of the cache. Gathered up scattered contents and put them back in the container. Log sheet has been partly eaten by snails. Hid it in the logical spot but probably needs a maintenance visit and possibly a smaller container.
 
21-Oct-11
It had rained recently, so this was a bit damp.
 
14-Oct-11
TNLNSL Too many ants around to stay too long at this find.
 
09-Oct-11

24-Mar-11
On excursion to a YP caching event and found this one with Mollypix. I was excited to see that this plough was indeed one of the famous stump jump ploughs made locally by Smith family. I found out recently that the stump jump plough is one of SA's icons. It gets a mention in this year's Primary Schools Music Festival song written especially for the 120th anniversary of the festival (The festival being another os SA's icons) The cache was easy to find. Left pathtag.

This cache is well guarded by roughly one million ants who are brilliant at defending it.[:0] L map badge T clappy keyring. Took ages to get rid of all the invading ants off me. TFTC and the intersting spot it is placed.
 
24-Apr-10
Thought GZ was interesting. Mr TiedyeSmileys crawled around and found the cache. Took the cache a few steps away and started to sign the log. While writing in the log, he noticed a lot of dirt on his arm. Ignoring it for a bit he continued again before he noticed the dirt moving. Aaaarrrrggghhh, ants Surprised. GZ (and Mr TiedyeSmileys) was swarming with them. Think he broke time records of returning a cache.
