Unable to find...... Can see that recently work on the area has been done maybe moved when that happened
Was in the CBD doing some caches early this morning.
I seemed to have missed the mark with this one, both attempts had me in two different places.
After being assaulted by an acacia paradoxa which left prickles in uncomfortable places I decided to give it way for another day.
Thanks for an interesting hunt, will be back for this one , cheers setsujoku.

Had to drive in and park closeby, it seemed the logical choice. Found easily, thanks!
Someone at the Farewell tea for mogni brought up about doing the TDF series and tentative plans were made to do it today..... however due to the high temperatures (44degrees yesterday) earthlight suggested going down south and so here we ended up.
Although we didn't get very far south LOL as we only made it to Macclesfield for lunch at 2pm (and the edge of Strathalbyn about 8pm and definitely not Victor Harbor) but by the end of the day, we had managed to successfully locus cache on 39 caches and I also placed a new one
We even managed to get a 4star terrain cache which surprised us but luckily it didn't beat us as we had the magic geotool
I love (almost) drive by caches in country cemeteries where the gates are left open because no one would dare to disrespect those who reside in the Dead Centre of Nowhere [^]

Usual Friday night caching escapades with Mogni and Mrs. M from Aussie M&M. A quick stop on the way a puzzle. For not many large towns around here there are a lot of large cemetries. [?] Thanks setsujoku. No Geocoin located so TBs only visited.
A quick find on my way to visit my Mum in FMC. Thanks for the distraction.
I could not see a trackable in cache container
Thanks

Thought I'd stop for a quick find on the way back from Kuipto... Looked in the wrong place first up then re-walked around.. Bingo - Got it.. TFTC...
A great drive by. Staying in Adelaide for the weekend and needed to escape the rat race. TFTC
Tried a few spots then found it where we had already looked, but not well enough. TFTC
Found while in SA for a while visiting interstate rellos. Having a great time.
Thanks for the cache

Went with kids to confirm for them that the location wasn't haunted...but had no luck...maybe leaf litter was too deep.
Not the wall, please tell me it's not the wall?
It wasn't!
Good location.

Quick find with Insada5161.....there was arooster close by whose time clock seemed to be a little off lol TFTC
Apologies for the late log - passed this way last week on our way to Victor Harbour for a day out, and some caching on Granite Island Myself and the kids waited until a car had left the cemetary and then had to be quick as the dogs at the nearby house were going bananas and we were attracting far too much attention. A quick find, eldest cacher has got the knack of finding a stick now we are in Oz (not Scotland) for retrieving caches. Swapped in some Scottish swag. TFTC.
My gps was way off on this one. I could have been here for a long time but CP made a few noises and the cache was found. Thanks setsujoku.
Spent the day driving through this part of the hills and looking for caches something which has become an annual event to celebrate my birthday. TFTC. LNTN
Had a quick look today with no luck.
The Iphone's lack of precision was not helping.

Cache has been replaced with a more water proof, and much newer container. This one shouldn't get water in it, and will last quite a while.
Thanks to those who have found this cache so far, and hopefully there will be many more finders to come!

We're planning on doing maintenance next Sunday, as A has this thing for antiques and old furniture, so how pleased she was when she discovered a whole weekend of such things at Strathalbyn!
I'm sure by the time that we get here there will be many things purchased that will be as old as some of the residents of this place.

We were on a bit of a mission today, so we were only stopping at certain caches off of a list we'd made up. As this one came onto the laptop screen, I noted the cache owner, and decided to bend the rules a little and stop for an extra find.
A great little spot we've probably driven past many times back in 2005/2006, but we just can't seem to remember ever seeing it. I could imagine this exposed area might get a little windswept, but the weather was perfect today, so we did have a bit of a look at who was resting here.
I was going to post a needs maintenance log, but it seems you're already onto it.
Thanks setsujoku.

Planning on heading here in a couple of weeks time to replace the cache and freshen things up a bit.
easy find after a mid week orienteering day.

Made this our lunch stop today (stayed in the car - it was so cold here) !
Found the wet cache and drained the water (again) , but still managed to write in the log book.

Thanks Setsujoku.

Mrs TiedyeSmileys was caught red handed logging this cache. Really, her hands ended up red. There was something in there that was red and after she emptied the water out of the cache and got the log book out and signed it, her hands were much pinker than before she had started .

A quick drive-by while on a caching trip down south. Cache was waterlogged and the logbook needs drying out. Some interesting history in these old country cemeteries. SL. TFTC.
Day 256 of non-stop caching.

Wasn't quite where our GPS reading said, but an easy find. It's a bit damp - we closed it carefully and put it back exactly as we found it.
very easy, getting a bit wet
Took scuba man and golf tee

logbook needs 10 minutes in the sun to be dry, but is ok for a while... but maybe dry it soon to be sure. TFTC
Quick find. We dried the cache contents as well as we could. The log is still a bit damp but writable. TFTC
Found this one on our trip down to strath. Quite waterlogged. Even the ziplock bag contents was damp. Cleaned/Dried it out as much as i could but log is a bit damp still.
Found this with Offspring v1.0 just as the rain set in.
It's quite waterlogged but the log is nice and snug in a little plastic bag.

TFTC took a min for clear signal bit cloudy, cache a little damp but still ok, cheers
A worthwhile stop while on the way to Mountain bike oreinteering in the Kuipto forest. I grabbed several metres of PVC pipe that was lying on the roadside near the gate.
Thanks setsujoku.

This is the first cache that I was "re-visiting" today. When still a muggle I went on an introductory cache day, about 18 months ago, with Turnarounds, Mac & Missus and Lost in space (now How Do They Know). Easy find therefore. Tnlnsl. Tftc.
Almost went flying past the entrance to this one. We made it in and geoP promptly headed to the wrong side allowing geoD to make the find.

An easy find. Water in the container but log book was dry. Dried out container and contents. Didn't see any sign of the Geocoin. TFTC.
Speedy find. The residence we unhelpful, but never the less, we did not disturb them.
On my way home from Adelaide after having my regular cancer check up. No TB in cache. TFTC. TNLN. SL.
A nice easy find on our way home to Donald.

Last one of the day.
Nice and quick, good access. Interesting memorial nearby.
Hadn't seen the "crushed green glass" look on a plot before.
To Geomums surprise she found a tupperware keyring! (thought she was the only one dropping those) in caches
T: Tupperware Keyring
L: Different Tupperware keyring
TFTC!
No Sign of GC by the way.

Last cache for the afternoon, emptied the water out of the box and dried as best as we could.
Took the Motorbike TB. Cheers and thanks for the cache.

Eighth for a day of caching to bring us up to 100.
Easy find but contents very wet. We dried out the cache but it should be replaced in the future with something more weatherproof.
Took Turtle left soccer ball.
TFTC!
Our last find for the day at dusk and the setting was quite appropriate given that it was Friday the 13th. Found cache without drama at posted co-ords. Thankyou for organising the hunt. TNLNSL. Cheers.
