By Bowz2 on 12-Oct-08. Waypoint GC1H4KZ

Hmmm Bloody Muggles
Will replace ASAP

Found what was left of the cache. (Pic attached).

Found the magnet

Could not find. Found something else that would be a good multi...a previous finder gave me a hint-it is gone me thinks.

Nice hide! Tftc

Easy to find. TFTC! Beware! Watchers everywhere!

Sweet nice work

Found it on a quick stopover

Took a bit but found it

Nice hide. Dropped off Oz 2014 Travel Bug hoping someone will pick it up to take it home to Murray Bridge. TFTC

It was a lucky coincidence that we ended up in Port Augusta today. We just wanted to do some shopping but had to wait until the shops opened. In the meanwhile we had a walk around and joined the celebrations for ANZAC-Day. It was really interesting to see how Australians celebrate such an important day. Found this cache quickly. Greetings from Germany.

Found it

Cache had been nicked
Replaced and back on line

sorted

Off line
It appears some thieving fingers have nicked it (again) [:(!]
Will replace ASAP

Sadly we only found a magnet on the post - no cache. Needs a Maintenance Check.

Found a magnet but that was all. Think it may have sailed away.

Quickie for today.
TFTC:)

Don't really understand the hint but we found it

Found! Log sheet ripped so started a new one

Good....

thanx for the cache, lucky there were no muggles

Cache in ship shape condition.

TFTC

Couldn't believe that this area could be so busy early in the a.m. I could see where the cache was hidden but just had to wait till it was muggle free. TFTH

Cool

Could not find this one

Found this one today fairly easily. Well done Milo!

No luck

TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity. TNLN

Fairly easy find!

Just out shopping when I found this

Found it

Tftc good find ever had the cops wondering what we where up to. Found with old stratty

Definitely a busy corner! Nice info about the location. PA is finding its feet for tourists. TFTC

After a couple of days testing leg muscles on the nearby Heysen Trail, it was nice to just wander around and find some caches!
This one floated nicely just where I thought.
Done in cover of darkness.
tftc

Quickly found and log signed, no-one around. On our trip around Eyre Peninsula.

Replaced container
Please ensure your NOT seen accessing or returning the container
High risk of muggles Thieving the containers
If it goes again will need to make it more difficult to find /access

Arrrgh too many DNF's I will check and fix if needed ASAP

We're adding our name to the long list of DNFers for this one.

Cache seems to be missing as we couldn't find it in the obvious spot.

Day 2 of Flinder's Ranges visit with mogni and Aussie M&M.
Detoured into Port Augusta for a tripod for Mr. M and some more rechargeable batteries. Took the opportunity to grab a few caches.
Add us to the the list of DNFs. But there were plenty of kids at the skatepark!

[Red]We have been back hera a couple of times now, and are pretty sure the cache is missing. [/Red]

Our 2nd DNF today.
[red]We spent quite some time here at around 10:53:00 AM, but we couldn't locate the cache.
[/red]Ian and Penny

Better luck next time

Another good find by the girls

TFTC

Relogged with my new profile. Signed in logbook as Visa96.

Found this on a public holiday in Port Augusta. We did only have one day and expected some more live in town, but we didn't know it was public holiday

found it after meeting new found friends Debbie and Karen

Fairly busy area.people. cars. skateboard park close

Found tonight after sunset with new found friends TFTH

Found it.

I was headed up to Port Augusta for a kayak event but somehow afterwards I forgot to stop driving.
1,700kms later and after 83 smileys including 1 FTF were locus cache'd, 1 event attended and sadly 7 DNFs and a dead roo, I arrived back home with both the camera and the phone full of pictures of this amazing country in which we live .

Arriving back at the start of the kayak event (held very close to here today) to wait for the intrepid adventurers to return I decided to take soem time and make the quick find here as I had already driven past it about 15 times since my arrival in Port Augusta in the very early hours of this morning.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."

Quick find here.

Name and hint were too cryptic for me to find with, but the feminine brain works differently and she found it almost instantly.

We were in the process of signing the log and were approached by a friendly group of people on bikes and skateboards, and they asked if we were geocaching. They said that they had found this one a couple of times, and recommended a couple of other caches in the area. TFTC Bowz2.

easy find. tftc

While the others were shopping, I thought I'd do some caching. Nice quick find. Had to wait for skater muggles to wander off. Tftcsl. Good hidey spot.7/06/13 16:14 Find #425

Thanks Bowz2 for this quick cache while we stopped in PA for some shopping. Had to wait for council cleaner muggle to blow clean the area right at GZ! But good quick find. Well done. RoamingParsons from Bargara, near Bundaberg.

This one had me stumped for a few moments... until common sense kicked in. Great name for this cache.

TB "Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Cleverly hidden cache. Picked up at a very busy time of night but I think that this could have helped to hide my efforts. TFTC

After doing the weekly shopping in the Woolies complex with Mrs one-eyed, we felt it a good time to look for this cache.
After dodging lots of muggles, and a thorough search I was unable to find this cache.
Cheers,
One-eyed

Arrived in town today, had to get some groceries & thought we would have a look for a couple of caches at the same time.
A great hide worth a favourite point
Thanks Bowz2

Quick grab while in town for work.

While hubby was pretending to take photo I put my hands to good use- with all the muggles around one needs to think of interesting things to do to look innocent.

Found and signed while Di was in Woolies.
