Wynn-dy Vale Wynn Vale, South Australia, Australia

Once again this cache has fallen victim to muggles and was fully exposed when checked upon, time to archive this one and replace with a new cache to bring people back to this wonderful area.

Found whilst walking the area trying to locate 2 other caches.
Great views along this track.
a quick easy find.
TFTC

Over the ridge and what a view! !!

Cool 2 3LG caches on the same day.

I would have left a Geocoin here, but it seems the last one went walkies and this cache is open to all, so decided not too, should have left some booty though as it looks a little barren with just a log sheet.

Cache is all fixed up and ready to go.

I decided to go and check on this one as it had that the log that the log was strewn and that the log was replaced and cache returned to its spot so i don't know why it was disabled ???? i made my way down to GZ to find the cache out in the open still with the temporary log but i placed a new log anyway in there and recovered the cache as to how it should be, any muggles walking down here would be to blown away by the views to turn around and see the cache, the cache is intact, in good condition and has a log, if this cache is to hard for the CO to maintain i would love to take over it : )

Wynn-dy Vale was transferred from Adrian Mc to user 3LG

Thank you Adrian Mc for letting us adopt this cache. We have lived at Wynn Vale for 25 years and are grateful for the opportunity to keep this cache active. Don't forget to stop awhile and take in the vista.

I am currently away for work but will fix this up when I get home.

needs maintenance. found container out in open, lid off, nil contents apart from a calling card. a temporary log (piece of paper) left and returned to assumed original position. Someone has obviously made off with the geocoin we were after.

temporary log left, left strewn out in the open. Returned to assumed position

a good 350mtr heart pumping walk up the hill to find this one. L GC TFTC

A worthy cache for my one thousandth find. Thanks.
I had "gone bush" to find What were they thinking #2 and decided maybe I can make this a driveby as well.
A very nice change after some of the low land finds and the views are great.
Attempted to exit further east but had to retrace my steps.
Found and signed. Thanks for a great cache location.

This is one of those caches you need to look at the map and not trust the gps to get you a starting point. A nice stroll with a nice view and a cache at the end.

TFTC Adrian Mc

Lovely day for a short walk with ttrogg down to this one.
TFTC

Cache in my hands fairly quickly. TFTC SL [^]

Arrrr yes this one, 4wders paradise... I don't know what goes on here but it looks like fun., and great views

TFTC

I was surprised to find that I am the first for 2012. Easy cache to get to, and a reasonable view for this point.

Thanks for the cache, Adrian Mc.

No wind today, just sunshine slowly becoming overcast with some drizzle. Am certainly glad I came from above and not below.
TFTC

#647 I think I made hard work of this as I had to traverse some very up and down terrain from where I parked. However, it was well worth it as the reward was great views - more so because it was such a lovely day. Took Niels TB to take back to Melbourne as it hasn't visited there. Thanks Adrian Mc.

No wynn-d to speak of today, just sunshine and a great view.

Left Niels TB to continue travels in fresh hands.

Thanks for the cache (I hated the walk up the hill) Adrian Mc.

Thought I'd stop for this one after dropping the kids at school. Collected Obi Wan travel bug and left a tractor and bookmark...Contrary to the cache name, it was a perfect morning, not a breath of wind.

Nice easy stroll to GZ. Possibly a terrain 1.5 if my grandma could get her wheelchair down there. Was even a nice walk for Mrs. Lost Wanderer who is 6 months in the family way and not liking physical exertion right now. Lovely afternoon walk for the Lost Wandering family. Don't know why we hadn't found this one before. Took Gruffulo TB and left Obi Wan Kenobi TB.
Thanks for the cache Adrian Mc.

A very enjoyable stroll ...down to GZ. - wouldn't recommend the uphill version as preferred option. Found cache - snails and beetles included [:o] with geo-nieces, dropped off Gruffalo TB (he likes the fresh air and views) took 'Despicable Me' character. TFTC Adrian Mc

After finally finding somewhere to park we commenced the trek in. geoD looked at the GPSr and thought, "It's 100m up there?!?!?!?!". We set off and soon arrived at GZ and geoD made the quick find.

Took a moment to grab our breath and admire the view

This cache feels like it's way out in the bush but it cant be more than 300m from housing. Steep and rocky with some slippery grass and an amazing 4wd track that felt pretty near vertical on my way out (south from cache). Even the alternative looked dangerous. No snakes seen, but perfect country for them.
Found a golf ball halfway up the hill, was going to swap it when I got there, but there was one there already!
#8 of 13 for me today.

With the K9-GPS unit under the weather at home and Mrs looking after him, thought I would pop out for a quick caching session on my last day of holidays.
Heading over from "What Were They Thinking? #2" being a little unfit from Christmas decided to jog and discovered the 3-3.5 terrain (There has to be a better way ).
Quick find TFTC

Found this one nice and easy. Cracker view. Kids wanted to take dispicable me collectable but did negleted to pack themselves a trade...They tried to talk me into trading a really nice rock for it...live and learn boys. Good cords and easy to track with iphone app TFTC Adrian Mc

A nice easy walk in once I found the best entry point. Great views from here, on a sunny and not at all wynn-dy day .

TNL:N - Thanks Adrian Mc!

Parked in side street and could c cache from below. Arrghh what a walk. Te he. 4th find for today tftc

Found it nice and easy after visiting Jigsaw. I got sprung by geomutts but not by their owner. Phew! So I pretended to take some photos of great views with my gpsr.
Thanks Adrian Mc for the cache.

3rd find for the day, loved watching the local school kids do a run through here, made me thankful I wasnt at that school

Found it good hide.I am fitness not a problems.T.N.L.N.S.L.

T.F.T.C

Great views, but we approached from the most difficult direction having just found "What were they thinking? #2" Come from end of Greenridge Crt easier. No wind tonight! TFTC.

Got there the easy way. Quick find. What a view! [^]

yip its still wynn dy up there another day of a cool change took the hard way quite a run up the 4wd track far out would be tricky in the car

Last one for the day on a local run.
A simple pleasant walk over to this one.

wow what a hike

Quite a hike if you come at it from wrong side, the carpetbaggers floored it and we got there..

Took the hard way up from the bottom, it's steep! The view is worth it, though.TNLFSL TFTC

A nice little walk behind where we live... Been there before about a year ago just before geocaching and didn't even realize there was something there.. It's amazing how that happens... Thanks for the cache

It certainly was 'Wynndy' in the vale today. I came to have a look for the Ranger family GPSr, but all I found was this cache. TNLN Thanks, nonetheless, to Adrian Mc - and Ranger Family - for a Sunday afternoon walk.

Found at 11.50am after quite a walk from the car but unfortunately on the way back to the car the GPS came off my belt clip & is now MIA. See http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13109&p=138563#p138563. If any other cachers in the area come accross them please PM us or call us on the numbers listed in the GCA forum thread.

Nice hide & a nice but strenuous walk. TFTC.

Parked to the NorthWest at the end of Gully Rd and got bombed by a magpie as I started off.
After getting away from him and heading upwards I started wondering whether I should have taken the bridge at the start, but the track cut back over again. Ended up taking the wrong junction at the fork (should've gone left, rather than right), so ended up cutting across and up from the fenced off cliff.
Great views on a sunny clear day [^]
Good views to the mangroves at Saint Kilda, and gee the Hollywood Plaza sign stands out.
Nice convenient rock to sit and relax and log on.
Continued up the gully a little bit further before heading back to the car. A nice lunch time walk.
TNLN, TFTC Adrian Mc

Cheers

Tried to log on iPhone App. Doesn't seem to be working. Found it, a nice walk, very close to where we live. Thankyou.

Must have gone the long way. Down a hill up a hill and then down again. Maybe more research next time on the plan of attack. Great location definitely worth the effort. TFTC Took Play Coin & Left Gecko SL

A nice little jaunt in some suburban wilderness. I was using a Google earth printout to follow the maze of tracks to get to this and consequently found it without using the GPS. Very Bob-like [^] .
Thanks for bringing me here Adrian. Cheers .

Took Key ring left dominos

Jumping forward in time, I was able to log this on the 23rd of May, unfortunately I had to return to the real time on the 22nd of May to log it.

Easy find on a sunny Mothers Day. The first find for my 2yr old daughter ! Sensational. TFTC.

Great walk and view of the gulf. Found it straight away. TFTC

Found the cache - no problem - I come from bottom... Beauitful view from GZ. with lovely warm weather. No swap. SL. Thanks Adrian Mc for organising the cache and hunt.

Did you hear me scream? you may have- found cache relatively easily however a 'cat sized' spider ( ok it was small to medium for a huntsman) crawled on my arm. Was a lovely walk and great views though. 'Yoinked' the hedgehog intend on taking him for a trip to yorke pen. next week

A nice quick find after work after going up hill and down vale.
Great views from that park.

TFTC

Left Jimmy the Hedgehog TB

i liked the walk,wat a look out.

Added a terrain rating comment for those who choose the harder way to get to this cache.

Coin dip

A quick find on my way home from finding 'Aerial View'. Nice views from here as well. Might have to come back with the camera. TB not in cache, someone must have taken it already. TNLN TFTC.

Approached this cache from the 3 star terrain direction. I remember coming here many years ago for the archived Rock Face by Simo (GCA042). Nice views.

Found by xxHFxx. Long steep walk. Silly us.
Took - Koala. Left - heart rubber.
Great views. TFTC

As the other 2 loggers have said - 2 Astro star is questionable. Where is the 2 Astro car park [?] Beats me. Lovely 2.5 - 3 star view.

Clear skies, TeamAstro.

First for the day... first in a long time actually! Found by YOU. Nice climb! (NOT! says IT)

Left Strawberry Travel Bug! (Sorry Mundoo!)

A bit of local knowledge helped us to get to a spot where we could walk down a track to this cache . The crazed teenager planned to take on the down hill run on his bike while we viewed the sunset. Left purple ball, took nothing. Thanks for bringing us to this great spot.

[Nice location! Breathtaking view out towards Parafield and beyond. T-Police Ribbon
L-$1 Toy Coin]

Watch out for beehive at S34 47.546 E138 40.320

Good Find, was with notentirelysure85.

Easy find once I finished walking up with hill.

Even at 43degreesC there was still a breeze.

Left a dinosaur, took nothing. TFTC

An easy find at sunset on a lovely day with a slight breeze at sunset. Hmmm I wonder if they would mind if I rode my mountain bike down that track.

Windy there today as well! What is it about this place
Cheers, TFTH.

Find 444 without a GPS at 1.55pm
An easy find in an area where I have often walked.
Interesting geological examples in the old quarry on the track west of GZ.
Took Nothing
Left a Kinder Surprise Toy.
Thanks Adrian for placing a cache in a secret part of the northern suburbs.

Were pleasantly surprised that it was windy up here this afternoon [^].
Geomum made the find while the rest of us were taking in the views!
Took letterbox keyring. Left $50 keyring. SL.
Thanks Adrian Mc.

There was no wind this evening at this somtimes windy location. The view is really great. Thanks Adrian.

What a magnificent view from GZ. Great cache placement. Arrived as the sun was setting and was able to get a few photos of the setting sun.
Thanks for the cache!

We were lucky to even find out this was here. JadedOptimist08 rang us for Internet access help while HE was out looking for another cache, and Mrs O obliged by getting online from her phone, only to discover this newly-listed cache! We were unable to help JO08, but as we'd just hopped back into the car after caching nearby in Greenwith, it was too good an opportunity to pass up the FTF. Great views up here watching the sun fading over the horizon. TFTC Adrian.

Should have come to this cache first, but went after Will O' The Wisps first. Funnily enough met Adrian Mc at that cache. Anyway claiming Silver only 1 1/2 hrs after O'Cholio. TFTC.
