A nice location for a family cache day. Geokids enjoyed exploring the plough. Dont know how it happened but we all came out of this one COVERED in ants! Took mini book, left Something (can't remember what!)
Overgrown to the point it was bearly recognisable (lift your game council!), that said and easy find.
No.39 for our trip east

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.

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.

Found but container wasnt hidden and paper out of the container so put back together and put it under a tree next to plough
This one needs maintenance.
The cache container was lying open, under the plough. Contents missing.

Mr Bushies2 found it easily however the ants were all over him! Thanks Psalm 118:24.
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.
Approached this one from the wrong direction, but still managed a quick find due to the excellent clue. Was still finding the numerous small ants I picked up all over me once back in the car however! Took lanyard, left a crane. Cache #960.
A nice easy find while out with the cousins for the day. Thanks for the cache - we didn't even realise this was here, even though we must have driven past it a few times!
Probably the easiest find of the day as we cached our way around the copper triangle!! TFTC
Found on a day out caching with Team Jacob and Shortney0910. You wouldn't even know this was here, even though it's right next to the road!! TFTC!

Found on a caching day out for the boys prior to attempting the pyramid series after a great event weekend TFTC

One of a dozen finds following the CCC event dinner in Kadina. Found with TWDG, Anja and Setsujoku. A far easier find during the darkness hours. Thanks for the cache, TNLNSL.
[TimTam] "Ok, now to find a place to hide our second temporary cache for the Copper Coast Caching Event ... Where MintSlice? ... Over by that bit of machinery? Perfect! .... What's that! ... You found a cache! ... Oh no, not again " TNLN Thanks Psalm 118:24.
This was our 2nd surprise find. We are ment to be hiding caches not finding them. At this rate we will run out of time.
Couldn't not find in the twilight before dinner with too many muggles around - brute force after dinner does the trick! TFTC
Just one of 160 caches found on our JLWE tour of the YP.
Another great little location that caching has taken us!

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.
Quick find on the way to attend the March YP Cachers Get Together.

This find took a little longer than expected because we got attacked by millions of ants.. it was so gross. Picked up Turtle TB- no sign of Mission TB. TFTH
Pity the Plough is so overgrown and we got covered in Ants so had to do the Slap Dance. Took TB Left Turtle TB and Eiffel Tower
Easy find - but thankful as needed to drop TB before left Yorke Peninsula. TFTC (p.s. No pen and didn't have one on us). Beautiful beaches!!
A well hidden cache and plough!
From the road you would struggle to see it.
Thanks.

Dropped off a contender in the current moving cache race that also happens to be a Travel Bug! http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2773
Fancy that....

with our luck not so good in Wallaroo today it was good to get a find thanks for bringing me here never saw the equipment as we drove past
I could almost smell it...but with muggles everywhere this one will have to wait until my next trip. (sigh!)
Some great local history. Learned many years ago about the plough at school and the difference it made to farmers.

Easy find and showed the kids some history at the same time. Not a lot in the cache so we took nothing and left an octopus and a butterfly. TFTC, Mouse1, Budgie, Mightymouse and Toohey.

80th of 100 today. Certainly the green fence around this object has become overgrown and couldn't see the plough we were expecting to at first. An easy find once we got inside. Thanks Psalm and the Snot-Rolled Kids.
Ants are still busy
Note inside stating it had been tampered with and things throw about
they have replaced what they could find

Found on an enjoyable and rewarding day on the north YP. I have read a book about Australain farming inventions so it was good to get a close up look at this. Thanks to Psalm 118:24 & Snot-Rolled Kids.
Spend a quiet day reading, walking and shopping whole the other half cached with a Parrot. Had to pick up a few though! Nice quick find, thanks, SS
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.
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 . GZ (and Mr TiedyeSmileys) was swarming with them. Think he broke time records of returning a cache.

Didn't see the plough as we drove up, but it soon appeared out from behind the bushes.
A quick find for our last for the night.
Thanks, Robmc.

Last cache of the night after dinner. Late at night was not a good time to see where we were and it wasn’t until the next morning that we spotted the plough on the way past. Thanks.
Found this one al long time ago but forgot to log it! Oops!
