Did not find, but found the log under a tree, looks like a muggle has found it and opened it and threw it away
We had enjoyed a nice lunch in Mount Compass, and were slowly winding our way home, stopping at a few select caches along the way. Awesome views along the coast from this spot, and a perfect day to take in the scenery.
This one took a while to find, in fact it was quitters luck that probably kicked helped in the end. I found it a few metres west of where the arrow was pointing, and I saw the container while facing seaward.
Thanks bregor.

This is the 1st of 2 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]
We spent quite some time here at around 9:36:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache, so a DNF from us - - - not stating it's not there... just that we couldn't spot it.

I had noticed that this had been made temporarily unavailable, I thought I would go and check the cache for myself. I didn't hold too much hope but what do you know it is still there. I found it within 5 mins. I was using a Iphone5C and the coords were pretty close. Great views. TFTC
Defeated! Spent 20 minutes turning over every rock and looking into some bushes, but no banana. Will need to ask CO to check on this one. A white pill container is well commo'd here, but it's been a while since a find.
Day 2 McLaren Vale. Staying at the caravan Park
After lunch as we had not yet see the sea we headed to the coast to find caches.
The weather grey & overcast, but the vineyards looked great although looking a little naked. Plenty of workers pruning the vines.
Thanks for placing this cache bregor

What I thought was going to be a horrid search (find a white container amongst all the white coloured rocks), it actually turned out quite easy. TFTC.
Today we headed down south to cache a few different areas with earthlight, another quick find for us tonight. TFTC
Spent the previous weekend at the OZ Mega in Murray Bridge and had an overnight stay in Victor Harbor before caching our way back to Adelaide to catch the plane back to WA. Had a great time exploring as we went along and enjoyed the many and varied caches we found. In the end we missed our plane home because Mr K got the times wrong - but that's another story
A quick grab as we worked our way up the coast towards the city. Nice coastal views.
Thanks for the cache bregor [^] - container lid is missing, but log is dry

Cache was missing a lid... though in its well covered location the contents were all ok!!
Another nice spot for a cache, a little lidless, but all good still. TFTC bregor.
Travelling towards the city and calling in at a few places we don't usually visit

Very well hidden! Took ages to find! Location wasn't spot on but found it in the end.
Spot on co-ordinates meant a find in the first place I looked. Great ocean views from here. SL TFTC.
Went for an early morning drive to Moana as it was going to be a lovely day and some exercise walking along the beach was in order, as well as grabbing some caches along the way.
Waited for a muggle to go past before I started my little walk along the path admiring the views along the way. [^] [^]
Got to GZ and like the previous bregor cache I surveyed the area and looked in a couple of likely places before hitting the jackpot.
Thanks for the cache bregor and for bringing me here.

Sorry bregor for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks bregor for placing this cache.
Arrrrhhh! Rocks (we still hate 'em) [:o)]! So glad this wasn't one of those (stabby) cactus caches [xx(].
Amazingly, we came across this quite quickly .

Stepped in some dog leavings around the cache so spent more time frantically scraping my sneakers on the surrounding rocks than actually looking for it. Luckily Arinaca found it pretty easy TFTF
Quick and easy find! Thankfully, there was quite the smell from a dog that'd eaten something quiiiite nasty D:

Family holiday in SA... Finally found after being pricked by many cactus!!... TFTC!
Found on a hot afternoon while driving along the coast admiring the sea views. Credit must go to geowife who despite wearing sandals and navigating cactus bushes, a wire fence and rough terrain, she manamged to still join the hunt. Nice hide that enabled a quick find in the heat. TFTC.
The sea certainly was BLUE today
Easy find while on a days caching with Earthlight and Dayseekers

An easy find with good views of the beach and the sea. Found a rude muggle comment in the log. (luckily had replaced the cache in its position). Thanks bregor.
The lizard is still there which I thought was a bit of a clue till I found out he was alive. This one nearly had me till I worked out I was in the wrong destination. My phone wasn't right on target this time. Great spot TFTC
Easy find.
I have often wondered about the origin of the word Moana - Thanks Bregor for the information and cache.
