A quick find, thanks the Kerrigan Family. It looks like some shonky developer has decided that it is okay to dump truck loads of soil along the other side of the road - compulsory acquisition?

I was expecting to find more rubbish and burnt out cars here but they are gone and all that remains are some dilapidated greenhouses and a cache, which was found easily.
Thanks

Found this one on a quiet afternoon.

Rubbish and burnt out cars are all gone, just a lonely shopping trolley left .
Nice easy find
Took bubble head toy
Left walking christmas tree toy

Went and checked the area out yesterday. It's definitely someone's dumping ground, but a lot of the mess seems to be coming from the derelict greenhouses next door. There is a burnt-out car nearby, but other than that, the cache spot itself is clean. We'd definitely not recommend doing this at night; from past logs it's evident that this is a spot visited by shady characters. Attributes have been changed to reflect this.
 
06-Dec-09
After the last few logs, this one's offline till we get out and have a look at the spot. It never used to be the dumping ground, but it looks like a few more of Wayne's mates might be hanging around the area.
 
06-Dec-09
What a dumping group!

Once I got aropund the burnt out car, I just had to avoid the broken glass and other assorted rubbish.

As I approached gz there was a likely lad riding his bike around but as I approached he thought better of it and headed off. I wonder how many punctures he had to repair as he rode off through the weeds and long grass?

Quickly found the cache.

2nd find of the day. Not the cleanest area in the world but still a cache find will take me anywhere. TFTC

Have looked at this a couple of times but today was the day... Think this is more like a rubbish dump and sure I wouldn't want to live here.... But a smiley was had and that is all that matters... Tks The Kerrigan Family for the cache

Not so much serenity today with rubbish dumped all along the road.

After a day at Mallala Motorsport Park and finishing up early, it was time for some caching on the way home. I guess it is only a matter of time before the castle disappears. TFTC. Big Grin
 
18-Oct-09
Nice and quiet here on a Sunday afternoon. What's with the 'no dumping' sign at one end of the road and the disgusting pile at the other?! Makes you wonder what sort of castle those people live in.

Nevertheless, thank you for the journey and the cache. An interesting detour on our way home from Elizabeth.

Found today thankyou, a nice easy find but boy were my shoes muddy - hubby parked right next to a mud puddle lol

Bombs Away... Cache #800 for Gunnie69. This one gave me a look at my old work GZ from a different angle. As I approached the area, a Tiger helicopter took off from there too... [^] I see them come and go in my new work GZ but it was nice to have one overhead as I chalked up a milestone cache.

A nice quick find once at GZ. Left Horizon TB.

Cheers Kerrigan Family.

Accompanied with Everlasting. My Gps was playing up but fortunately Everlasting found it. Phew! A car drove past us and then parked at the end of the road while we filled in the log. So we walked back to the hide and pretended to take the photos next to GZ..
Thanks The Kerrigan Family for the cache. Smile

Fairly quiet here -so we thought. We were filling out log in the car when a car drove past with some shady looking characters and parked at the end of the road. Couldn't replace the cache without getting sprung so took it for a short drive until car left again. All back in place now. Took strange long neck figurine? Left bottle opener. TFTC
