“What rig is that?” said Derrick Coorong, South Australia, Australia
By Kermit Jagger on 01-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1KC58

That's all folks. This cache is gone for now.

Had a quick search on the way through. Didn't have much info so were searching blind. Wasn't sure whether it was private property but did have to jump a fence. Then we had to run so we left disappointed. Another time

30 min search no joy. this cache is fenced and i would say private property

Spent 5 - 10 mins looking for this one without any success, gave up as it was wet and cold, the grass to wet to get down on hands and knees, so will have another go next time we are passing by, also I didnt have the hint.

A tricky find on an SE trip. TFTC

didn't find this, even with the clue but didn't use the gps. Maybe this was my problem. Took a good 10 minutes while looking over my shoulder after reading many logs about cranky neighbors. From the logs that follow it was clearly there. Next time.

Cool rig!!!, this was a supper quick find with a quick jump when no-one was looking....oh the hint really helped too.
TFTC

disregarding all the signage we had a quick sneak without success. With the info sign, the rig, the table & seat & the iron fence behind is it an official history site or what? Lots of people seem to want to know.

Definitely fenced off . Might need to review Freddo.

Good hide. Was able to get in and out quickly without being chased away by anyone. TFTC

Was about to attempt this when i was approached by a very irate couple warning me that the rig was on private property!!! Rather than getting involved in an arguement I retreated back across the fence. Are they correct???? Will watch the logs on this one.

Easy find. The only muggles we saw were driving by. TFTC

Didn't find it
Date: 27. Dez. 2010 18:33

Had a brief look, then 2 muggles approached the rig and I moved on...

Quick easy find TFTC Ela21

Despite a truckie parked nearby and a couple of u-turns made on the road we were able to make a good search. Unfortunately not good enough for us to strike oil on this big rig.

TFTH anyway

01:20pm - THX for the cache & Greetings from Germany

Travelling from Meadows to Mundulla via the 'scenic route'.
Another piece of history pointed out by geocaching!
After reading a previous log about a screeching muggle I was very nervous here and after a quick look or two, decided I'd move on.
Next time I'm in the area I will try again.
Thanks anyway for bringing me here.

Campin close by and thought we,d go for a walk.
a great night find- didnt take long.
Took somethin and left somethin but cant remember what
TFTC

whilst trying to locate the cache we got shoo'd off by a screachy muggle that it was her rig and her property

I wasn't sure about jumping that nice new fence, but there was a cache beckoning...found it immediately thanks to the hint, then nearly cleaned up a carload of Japanese tourists who decided that the middle of the main road is a great place to stop! TFTC.

TFTC, Had to first find a way into this area as it has recently been fenced in but succeeded and TNLNSL. Great overnight spot across the patch at the Servo and enjoyed a hearty meal there too. Wonderful area and a birdwatchers paradise with many difficult species seen there.

[:o)] almost got rained on, drizzled a bit, bitterly cold. nice cute little town. Thanks for the cache

Didn't realise Salt Creek was the first oil exploration site. Thanks for showing me this interesting site. Nice easy find. TFTC

Quick find in the pouring rain - thanks for the little break on our trip!

Jumped fence for a slick find. SL TFTC
Cheers

Found the cache OK but had to cross what appears to be private property. A new house is being built on the site :{ The builer eyed us with suspicion. There is something wrong that memorials etc get fenced off from the public.

Found this cache with my father. Logging on my own account.

This is a really interesting location, it's a shame that after all the work that they didn't find any oil, although we have been to a cache sight in Lakes Entrance, Victoria where the first inland oil was actually discovered. Part of the old poppet head is still there but is nothing compared to this replica. It's a shame that the area is fenced off, it takes away from the enjoyment of the cache.
Thanks Kermit Jagger for showing us this spot and for the cache

Don't like jump over fence due old history museum there so I ingore jump over the fence nice found one. T.N.L.N.S.L.

T.F.T.C

Yes, the fence is confusing, as are the signs, but persevered and found it, despite a bump to the head while looking but not seeing. Left boomerang magnet. TFTC

Didnt want to cross the fence due to signage saying not to enter. Perhaps best to move it nearby outside the fence so people still enjoy the cool Rig but dont disturb the structure itself. Cheers for the stop anyways!

Found with O319 on our tour of the Coorong. TFTC

Black stuff coming up from the ground?? Where is Jed Clampet when you need him (Kids google it, if you don't understand) TFTC.

Sign clearly states autherised personal only and fenced therefore against geocaching rules unfortunatly. So we too did the right thing and didn't go in. Needs to be moved please.

Interesting bit of history, found on trip from Adalide to Melbourne, thanks

Couldn't get in without climbing over the fence, felt very naughty given sign.

Found 2nd April on way to Adelaide. Took some finding, nearly gave up.

I am sure the cache is still all well and good, however it also appears that we were good enough to take notice of the signs and not go over the fence (unlike plenty of others apparently). I think it would be a good idea to move the cache a bit to outside the fenced area so that it still brings people to this interesting spot while still allowing them to retrieve the cache.

An easy and very interesting find. thanks

Took a while but found and logged eventually. The sign indicates authorised persons only.

Interesting bit of history. Had a good look over the machinary (legs long enough to step over the fence!).
Thanks, Robmc.

A wee bit tricky... the 'hint' actualy took us to different corner.. briefly..!
Thanks,

Found today by Mr & Mrs 1SR at 1100on our discover Sa trip. Not sure about the fence but a quick find once I went over. A great bit of history thanks for showing us.

What a great spot to stop on our way from Adelaide to Mt Gambier.

I agree with others about the fence, what is the point of having the tables on the wrong side.

Almost had an accident in the nether region climbing through the fence

Thanks for the cache!

Magnificent piece of history. TFTC

Are we allowed to climb over the fence? We waited until the coast was clear and jumped over. It is an interesting and unusual spot. We were staying nearby for a family renuion and thought we would pick up a few caches while we were in the area.

TFTC

We felt very naughty climbing the fence so were were reluctant to get this one, left the kids in the car for a quick get away but took a great shot of Grover and the rig in the setting sun.

Found at 16:10
Olga and I weren't too sure how you are supposed to use the nearby picnic table, which was enclosed by a fence.

Why is there a picnic table in the fenced-off area? Found cache after climbing the fence when noone was looking.
TFTC

Climbed through the fence and signed log.

After some erring and aaahing about jumping the fence, we waited till the coast is clear and hopped over. Awesome hiding spot!

What's this [?] Another Freddo cache to increase my restraint orders.

The owner found the cache for me almost where he placed it. After that, he place an order for mullet/chips and dim sims and a pot of tea at the Salt Creek Restaurant. Loovely. We all partook of the delicacies on offer.

Clear skies Buddy [^]

Dont fence me out.
Found after and signed.
There certainly is an interesting history to this rig. Fools oil and not Texas T.
The nearby border information was intersting as well

Ditto Firesafe...

Down at Tea Tree Crossing with the Blackwood Scouts and we arrived at 11:00 pm with the group descending looking for the cache - found it and then onto camp. TFTC

Fooled us for being rubbish, but in fact was the cache! TFTC.

Number 15 for the day.

Number 15 on The Coorong Cache 'N' Camp. TFTC

I have always wanted to stop and place a cache here too , but never did
I spent some time looking at where the hint told me but walked away without a smile.
I will be back

It is an interesting spot TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1415. Took a while owing to passing muggles (very inconsiderate of them to stop here for lunch) and some compass glitches. Strange that they have fenced off the picnic tables. When the coast was clear, we braved the fence and grabbed the cache. Our thanks again to 'Kermit Jagger'

Yeah!!!









Finds!!!

Quick easy find.

TFTC, SL

all ways wanted to stop for a look at this rig but never got around to it. thanks for the excuse tnln

A quick stop to visit the rig that I've driven past many times. didn't even break the GPSr out of it's cradle for this one.

I made hard work of this - Had to read the clue then it all became clear.
TNLN, TFTC

Found At 10.59am, Just as the cache was located a car pulled up. Signed log and then discreetly replaced to cache.
TFTF

Signs said "keep out" - can't work out why would they put a fence around the rig AND the picnic table & chairs! Don't remember if we swapped anything or not
Cheers and thanks.

Passing a TB through

15:40 Found on our Touring Tassie and Beyond 2009 Trip!

M had to jump the fence and do the hard work whilst A sat in the car and ate chocolate. Something's aren't always fair

Quickly located the cache, and took care of the logging before going back over the fence, and to the warmth of the car. We are slowly getting closer to home, after being away for nearly 3 weeks.

Shower of rain gone we jumped the fence in out hi-viz
wet weather gear & clip board - looking as though we
were doing a safety inspection. And after 5 minutes
inspecting we had found a loose item (the cache)

Zak Power Team had muggle cousins along for the ride.

This is an interesting find with a bit of history. The fence does make you wonder but not detered. After a bit of searching the cache was soon in hand and signed off. Thanks for a good hide.

Started looking for this one, but when we came around to the opposite side from where we started we found the no entry sign and we thought that we are here already so we might as well finish the job.
However, even with our searching we still came away empty handed?

With a fence around the cache and signs indicating no public access, it would be a good idea to review this cache.

While it is an interesting site, maybe it is getting to be a bit unsafe for the public?

Found it after a bit of a search, also concerned about the fencing..

TNLNSL TFTC

Gave this one a miss as it seems to be on private property now or fenced off anyway. The owners were working in the area at the time a well.

Interesting piece of history, took a little longer to find than expected, TNLN, TFTC

Freddo goes to a Kermit cache. Stopped in to check out the edifice.

Cheers

I'm a bit concerned about this one. The new fence clearly deliniates where people are and are not allowed, and the big sign states that access isnt allowed. I will admit I didnt let this stop me logging the find, but I really think the cache should be moved to outside the fence to be safe. Nothing would be lost from the spirit of the find, and there would not be any problems with the sign or fence.

Found at 1315 hrs, 5th for today.

Cheers
Bundy

Found with polkys quest!!! TFTC

found on our way back to adelaide!

Found while on a caching road trip with Konie. Interesting history board, thanks for making us stop. Thanks also for the cache.

Found with Kiwi Explorer on our caching road trip. A great place to stop, stretch and read a bit of interesting information.

TFTH & C

Took a few minutes, but an interesting spot to stop.

Many thanks, grabbed a photo.

A little worried about climbing the fence but soon overcame that worry and soon had the cache in hand,
Signed the log book and departed quickly.
Thanks for the cache Kermit

Stopped here quickly to inspect the unique monument (& sign log) then it was off up the road just a little to collect the mullet & chips [^]
Cheers

Quick stop on our way to Mt. Gambier. Found it after a while looking...

We found this geocache while holidaying with Laksam.

Yeah, we found it. The kids narrowed it down, and I spotted it.

Finally getting around to logging these finds after a 2 week road trip (over 100 caches to log [XX(] )

Always good when you get 2 caches for the price of one.

Found just as MRS TiedyeSmileys was about to call out the hint.

*FTF* on the way home from Beachport. The mullet & chips have gone up in price by 50% since we last visited. Not such a bargain any more. Thanks for the cache Mr Jagger Frog.
