I have searched for this one a few times whilst here for lunch or dinner. This is a DNF for us..
Had a good look but the GPS was jumping around everywhere so didnt find it. Try again later
Too many muggles - and It said "stealth maybe required at certian times." but no hint?? so Hope come back one day. Thanks.
I came up to Whyalla for the weekend to run a St John training course; the locals invited us out to dinner to try the New Whyalla and the new restaurant. With a cache only 38m from my seat at the dinner table I had to pop out between ordering and receiving my meal to make an easy find. Thanks Kitti1
Great to see that the hotel is still standing and hasnt had to make way for another structure.
thanks
thanks
Found on a rewarding day caching around Whyalla. Who cares as long as the beer is cold! Thanks to Kitti1 for this cache. It was a struggle to get the log out so I attached a paper clip to make it easier.
Found by Mary & David at 0825. At least the pub remains and hasn't been demolished. Lots of memories here for the locals no doubt. Our thanks to Kitti1.
At least the cache was not in view of the beer swilling muggles.
Found, Signed and Replaced easily.

With muggles at the bar, we were there for a while when we spotted this good hide 4th find for the day
A quick easy find by Geodad. SL and we were on our way, no muggles about today. TFTC
[^] Nice drive by, even with muggles sitting at the table, cache recovered and replaced by geo kids, did not attract any attention. TFTHSL......Happy Caching.
Took a few minutes to find this one. Had to wait for muggles every now and again but not too bad. Great for a first hide! Lord Gowrie all the way!
Finally back to grab this one as it wasn't an option last time 
One of a few picked up with The Hunta on an evening cache raid, before heading back home then down south for the weekend.

PS you'll have to place one at your new job now

Good easy find....
I remember being inebriated, sprawled on the pool table while the LGH motif on the carpet went hazy. When it was the Gowrie.....hahahah

Muggles around at 0720, and I don't like not being able to see through the big glass windows/doors... Might come back when its darker outside, and lighter inside...
Still a busy spot at 730, however at least I was the only one parked at GZ. It will always be the Gowrie to me.
Found today. Very quick grab - diverted the drinker by asking questions about pub while the J part grabbed and signed. TFTF
So there I am, the gps says 2m...... I am going in for the grab at 7.20 am on a Sunday morning....Then the cleaner comes out and decides to clean the windows and doors...aaarrrrgggghhhh its all good fun cheers
Was getting the old evil eye from someone outside having a puff when I located this one. He must have thought we were terrorist wanting to blow the box up and were planning how to do it.

Decided to do this one b4 church, a nice micro wife didnt even know there was a hotel here. Great cache SL
Amber and Susan found this one, after serching the first time at a busy time of day, did an early morning search. Another late log entry!
Stopped early in the evening but a number of Muggles sitting outside enjoying an ale or three made it too difficult to search...[:(!]
Came back much later when all was dark and all good geocachers should be home in bed.[|)]
After a little searching cache was in hand...
Got the strange feeling of a shane4 influence on this cache...
The Lord Gowrie was at one time managed by a family friend way back in its heyday
Not having been back to the hotel in a long time I was a bit surprised to see the “new oneâ€

This one had us stumped for a while. We thought we had looked everywhere, & were just about to give up when the Golf Guru thought he'd have one last look & of course there it was. Quite a few muggles around this morning as well, just to make life interesting. Thanks Kitti1 - great hide!
After Kitti1 assured me it wasn't a nano it suddenly became very easy - dunno how I missed it before.
Thanks Kitti1 for a lesson in how you haven't looked everywhere even when you think you have.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. Had a little trouble but found it and went duh. TFTC
The cache is considerable newer than I. Even a tad shiny like my head
Clear skies and our thanx to Kitti1 for the cache numero uno.
Why did we all decide to hide new caches at the same time??? Good on ya kitti for getting involved. Welcome to the wonderful world of Whyalla caching!
Only problem for us was we got the notification this cache was here as we were driving out of town for GeoJake to play footy at AAMI Stadium! Bummer. Oh, well, had to settle for silver!
A quick easy find! TFTC kitti1

What a surprise to find it so quickly and then find it is another FTF for us.
Keep up the good work Kitti1 and hope you enjoy geochaching.

I thought I’d be OK at 0800 on a Sunday, but I wasn’t sure what to make of the noises coming from behind the big glass windows/door of the hotel. I couldn’t see anyone, but could they see me? I had a quick look for the cache, but thought I’d better not hang around too long.
