Had a quick look with low expectations. Found a fallen down tree at GZ - maybe this took the cache out a few months back.

We found this cache as part of our family YP camping trip. Over the 12 days we saw some fantastic scenes and did a heap of cool stuff. This really is a beautiful slice of our country. To top off an already wonderful trip, we also found 145 caches, 6 trackables, 1 pathtag and attended 1 event.

Thanks for the cache!!

Nick, Mik and Johnny easy find! Especially after searching for crabs on the beach all day. Forgot a pencil Sad TFTC
 
30-Dec-12
Cache found in the last place we looked, which was as usual not the first place we looked. I left my swaps in the Pahero and I did not have anything of equal value in my pockets. Thanks for the cache guys, we love your work.

This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Looked in all obvious places and particularly at GZ but nothing to be found.
Will try again next time we come this way.
 
It seems the cache has been muggled, new container now in place Smile
 
23-Dec-12
We think it might have been muggled. Lifted the cover and searched through. Maybe blind!

It being school holidays, we were expecting any one of the neighbours to pop out and say "Aha, I know what YOU'RE doing!" but thankfully we weren't spotted. I guess it was a bit too early for everyone to be up and about cos school holidays are a great time for sleeping in. TFTC
 
17-Aug-12
As we were spending a few nights at Wallaroo and catching up with few Cachers at a an Event Held by Dazzatron for us TheKellyGang, thought we would go for a drive to clean up some caches in the area of the YP. Out with a fellow Cacher today as we offered to help do a maintenance run with them. TFTC

Wondered how mum would have gotten this if I wasn't there to lift it for her? She said I bet it's under there and I dismissed her thinking noone would make us lift that! THen I did and she could see it, we have to do a lift and grab to get it out Very Happy Found on a caching trip to Pt Turton for my mum's birthday Smile TFTC.
 
12-Aug-12
Nice easy find but wow that was heavy! TFTC
 
01-Aug-12
A nice park area with LOTS of good hidey holes, as you say, so why a micro? You have to almost give yourself a hernia to retrieve this one, especially if you’re by yourself, which I was. A bit strange given the nice area but will suit others. TFTC
 
12-Jul-12
TFTF - miserable weather made a bit brighter by the find Smile.

Found on your way over to Point Turton for the weekend. SL TNLN TFTC

Found a Quirk in my new Garmin at this Cache, it wanted to keep going around the block, switched off navigating, and got some sense out of it. TFTC RGG
 
10-Jun-12
Quick drive by on the way to Ethel beach. Gorgeous winters day. TFTC
 
15-May-12
4078th total find at around 14:19

We thought we would have a lazy day today - especially as we slept in this morning. Then we thought we should do at least one, just to keep the streak going - so this was the 7th of our lazy cache raid today.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Southern Cross Caching for the cache

Out on a caching run with the honeysucker, found by torchlight as we were finishing of the last few caches but the sun set before we got through them all, more of a challenge this way, but the bay was very quiet only a few lights on probably a different story on the upcoming long weekend TFTC Southern cross caching

Love the 'adult playground' of cross trainer and rowing machine - gym and childcare in one. TFTC
 
13-Jun-11
Just one of 160 caches found on our JLWE tour of the YP.

Another great little location that caching has taken us! Our first find for the morning after camping just a couple of km up the road on a random side strip to the beach.

Finally found our way in and then it was an easy find.

Log Book is soaked so unable to sign
Left a sheeptag anyway

08-Jan-11
Caching Day.
Weird place as the house on backyard can see us what we doing but luck they did not notice us.
When I found it and the log was really very wet and terrible I manage to write down.
TFTC
 
04-Jan-11
Thanks for the cache. Signed log as best as I could. TNLN

Log is saturated and needs replacing.
 
18-Nov-10
This one needs some major attention The log book is so wet it cannot be written on we signed on the back cover
 
17-Nov-10
The cache was hiding just where it should SL TFTC
 
13-Oct-10
Just on dusk, mosquitoes bad, cache wet inside, didn't have another pad needs replacing. TFTC

3518. [font=Comic Sans Ms][green]If we'd done some planning we would have helped with the wet logbook. Unfortunately that isn't our strongest point on invasions.

TFTC and the close.[/green][font=Verdana]
 
16-Sep-10
A very quiet town and a very quiet park. And after all the rain (and given the nature of the hide) the cache was saturated. But thanks for bringing us here, Southern Cross Caching.
 
30-Aug-10
one of sixty four for the day! TFTC SL
 
23-Aug-10
Day 3 of the Yorke Peninsula Cachout with a find count of 68 for a total of 183 over 3 days - I didnt get them all so will need to get back again soon. Smile

The cache was full of water and the log wet.TFTC. Big Grin
 
12-Jul-10
As previously mentioned this cache is very water logged and the log book can not be written in. Lovely spot for a cache tho....Thanks
 
A big thanks to the last two finders letting me know about the waterlogged log book, glad you enjoyed the spot. Unfortunately I'm about to go overseas for a while and may not be able to get to this one till I return. If any prospective finders could take a newly prepared dry log book and small plastic bag to replace it would be appreciated. If not I may have to take this one off line for a few months till my return.

Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

Nice easy find for a trip on the west side. Playground provided a bit of fun for the geokids.

Its amazing what happens when you let adults run free in a kids play ground
Found easily with hint !!
left site feeling sick and with scrapes from spinning on the equipment . !!
TNLNSL thanks for the fun and cache
 
07-Apr-10
Those spinny things are dangerous... yet sooo fun!

Nice little park with the smalled basketball court I have ever seen! Smile
Sort of nice that the people's backyards are open to the park, it must seem like they go on for ever.
A quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
20-Mar-10
We were rather glad that none of the open backyards were occupied this morning as this hiding spot is a tad exposed under those circumstances.
Nicely hidden
Thanks
 
14-Mar-10
Poor old Andrew lost this thermos here
I am sure Marg will put it to good use
Thanks SXC
 
14-Mar-10
Not happy Marg.
Left the thermos on Skippy's bull bar and then forgot to pick it up on the way back.
I lose so much gear that way but I am obviously not learning.
Anyone no where I can buy a good metal thermos.
 
13-Mar-10
A little bit unnerving at first, as it appears this cache is part of peoples' backyards. It isn't, it's just the yards are all unfenced. Gotta love the country! TFTC.
 
13-Feb-10
Found with Featherwaite. It was a very quick visit because of the houses nearby, but there didn't seem to be anyone around. TFTC!
 
13-Feb-10
Caching on the run... GPSr had us 16 metres out when we found the cache, 8 metres out once we'd signed the log. If we were there for another 30 seconds it might have got to zero. Thanks Shane4.
 
09-Feb-10
Only ever heard of Hardwich Bay on the weather reports so nice to visit; this I was musing enroute to the cache trying to be stealthy in this sleepy little town while walking on dried up gum leaves which sounded like drums with every step! Found and signed.
Cheers 4 da cache Southern Cross Caching!

Nice hide Shane!! it took me a little while to work out the best place to leave the car and enter the park but saw the spot from 15 metres away. Thanks for the cache!!
 
26-Oct-09
By the time I arrived here it was well and truely dark but that caused no problems with the cache hunt [^] in this sleepy town.
It did mean that the fuel store was closed however and that put a stop to the tour of the YP for me Sad This was as far South as I got due to my need to make a B-line to fuel supplies.
Cheers & TFTC.
 
20-Oct-09
Finally got this one.... Seems like everyone was out or not about today so made the find easily... Log and contents were wet so replace log and dried contents and replaced.... Thanks Shane4 for the cache....
 
20-Oct-09
Second attempt at this one had got the correct location at a previous visit. Replace log due to being wet and dried container and replaced. TFTC Shane4
 
21-Sep-09
Followed the arrow until it said it was behind me, I turned around and there it was!

Not all Sistemas are created equal, this one is a bit of a dud, letting all that water in.

Thanks Shane4.

Found cache with my fishing pals "How Do They Know? and trustworthy muggle, John. Tnfnsl
 
16-Sep-09
Had a nice walk to the cache but found out there was an easier and quicker way on the way back. An attractive location for a cache hide. Thanks for the cache . Took nothing and left a cute little bee. Found at 4.35pm on a break from fishing and then off to our home away from home at Foul Bay.
 
30-Aug-09

Yes the log was soaked. No time for me to dry this one out. It will need a few hours in the hot sun. Quiet spot out of the way.

Clear skies and thanx to Shane4 from TeamAstro.
 
23-Aug-09
On the way to Innes National Park - nice easy found. Log book - very wet. SL. Thanks Shane4 for organising the cache and hunt.
 
11-Aug-09
Got to GZ and was being watched from 2 directions so we decided to walk away and leave it for next time.
 
11-Aug-09
Called into find this one and do some maintenance but was being suspiciously watched from all directions so walked away and will do another time.... Tks Shane4
 
10-Aug-09
Found by Mary & David at 1610. This one showed us something of another little town we hadn't been to before. Interesting vegetation. The cache was very wet, and so was the log book. We emptied the water and were just able to write in the book, but it needs urgent maintenance. Our thanks to Shane4.
