With limited time I too took a look but came up empty handed. I do love a cache were muggles are soooo close but have no idea you are there. Oh well I will try again next time I am in the area.
Absolutely no idea and I was certainly looking in the right place now I read some earlier logs.
Took me 2 goes but finally on a lonely early sat morn success !! Loving the area. TFTC.
First caching stop of me drive to Adelaide today,
was a spot where I had not encountered a cache before !!
It had been there,
but I could not find it
Time to fix that oversight this morning
And with a chill breeze blowing off the waters,
I had a muggle free search for the cache.
Which I encountered after only a minute
Just the retrieval of the all important logbook remained.
Which was rather easy using a stick to push the cache out of its hidey hole
So with me moniker scribbled on the parchment,
I wandered back down the main street with a smilie on me dial

Went for evening walk while staying in PB. After a bit of hunting and looking at clue it was located but couldn't get the container out of its hiding spot as no utensils with us. It didn't realky matter as we didn't have a pen either. Will be more prepared next time.
Found during a trip to Kadina & Pt Augusta
Great spot, cool cache,

Nice easy find on a drizzly day. Found with my Muggle Dad and my geokids. Port Broughton is a lovely little town. Used to spend quite a bit if time here as a kid.
We did this one at night time, the bright torch light certainly assisted in the find. Creative placement of the cache! The sand was more gritty in this spot than I remember, however, it was still lovely for a stroll after dinner. There was a fairly spectacular lightning show going on in the distance also.
Found with my muggle friend, on a weekend road trip from Adelaide to Wallaroo, and surrounding areas......escaping Clipsal mayhem was the aim of the game!!
Thanks for the cache Dazzatron

Enjoying a little time caching around Port Broughton from our current digs in Wallaroo.
We made a quick easy find while making sure to keep concealed from the several muggles enjoying morning tea at the cafe over the road
Many thanks for the hide Dazzatron[^]

Quite a nice little hide, it took us a while but there it was! A great picnic spot on the grass with a few others on a cool summers day
Thanks Dazzatron
Thanks Dazzatron
Had finished our picnic lunch and couldn't go without having a look for this one. Took a little while but with the hint the cache was soon found in its cosy little hide.
Thanks for the cache Dazzatron.

Brief stop for a pasty en route to Whyalla and DWRory and Evie encountered a cache. TFTC
The geowife .found this one very quickly. Signed log.
Our family used to visit Pt Broughton every summer in the 80's, and I have many fond memories of standing on the beach across from the jetty catching tommies on lures, going out past the last beacon in the tinny to pull up thumper whiting, and my grandparents eating dozens of blue swimmer crabs in their caravan annex. Not too much has changed in this quiet town, apart from a vastly upgraded boat-ramp. Had a great meal at the pub and enjoyed the pastries of the local bakery - well worth the visit.

5015 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1120. As we were looking for the cache 2 people came up and asked us were we geocaching. "Yes why" was the reply. Well they were from New Castle in NSW and there caching name was lilybella. Great to meet like minded people. Both teams SL Tnx Dazzatron. Now that was a Brief Encounter.
#2421- Tricky find by Bruce, had almost given this one up when - wow - what's that - of course, the cache - duh.
Very good hide staring right at you without bending down.
All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.

Many thanks to the cache owner Dazzatron for establishing and maintaining another local cache.

Found with friends staying in caravan park for the night. Horrible windy day, not much fun outdoors, but we parked up and targeted this cache quickly.
Kids enjoyed the find. Signed away. TFTC.

Coordinates are about 10 m off but using your brain will guide you to the hiding spot - cute well hidden cache TFTC
Found at 12:12 PM GAFF1
This is where we decided to stop for lunch - a lovely quite spot with a beautiful looking old hotel across the road.
The cache was spotted after a few moments and then it was - how do you get it out?
Thanks Dazzatron.

Found on way north to Port Pirie not getting so many caches today as hit it hard for three days
Anything but brief!
Coordinates weren't quite spot on, but it was where I thought in the end.
Just keep looking,
I'll give this one a plug with a fav point.

I had a much more determined search in the scorching heat today
No gopher squad watching !!
No muggles at all
And no cache found either
There has been a long string of DNF's on this one now.
The only finder's log recently doesn't make any sense if you read it, so I suspect it was posted in error !!
Is this one still in place ?? [:o]

I had a more than brief encounter !!
15 minutes of encountering !!
And I still couldn't find a cache
The 'gopher squad' assembled nearby were curious of me activities.
But lets face it, they were not about to go looking around where I was getting covered in sand ... were they ??
I finally gave up and stomped off along the jetty to see if I might have more caching luck out at sea

Tftc. Quick find thanks to my companion. But alas no travel bug as was indicated.
Had a short search last night but was muggled out. Returned this morning and had the place all to ourselves but couldn't find a cache.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Tried! Moved a ton of seaweed, avoided Muggles, but unable to find!
Chance meeting with fellow GCers, but even their aid didn't reviel - a DNF for Clan Winterfox
Will another time.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia after having attended Oz Mega.
The day was fairly warm with the odd shower to keep us alert. We managed to find a few caches along the way with the caravans in tow, so we only stopped where it was safe to do so.

Today we left Bute on the fantastic Yorke Peninsula and traveled with Felixll to Whyalla picking up a few caches where is was safe to stop.
A beautiful town, thanks for your cache Dazzatron.

Looked under but aware there were muggles about, so abandoned the search for now
How did I miss this yesterday? I searched and searched but with no luck but today came down again and had cache in hand in seconds. My old knees do not respond well to this type of cache. Luckily the seaweed piles are very soft. TFTC
Stayed here overnight on our way up to Port Augusta , so had to go caching after a lovely counter meal up at the local pub.

On the way to Port Augusta on a Community trip to the Arid Botanic Gardens. Stopped here for lunch & had time for a stop of caching. One of my fellow bus travellers found it for me. The tide was out and not many people around (but us).
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Do I look silly climbing I'm my hands and knees in funny spots ? Probably but I found it
