16/4/18 last one for the day after a great day out with sonofkkrafter. What a great place to finish and take in the sunset
There was sea for miles, a few muggles stopped to look at the sea as well. waited for a few to pass before we could begin our search. didn't take us too long to grab this one, signed and returned just as the next lot of muggles were arriving.

Dnf searched the area with the geokids for 25mins and couldn’t find this one had us stumped.
This is my 4th attempt at this cache, and finally success! We went to GZ and hunted around carefully in the immediate vicinity for about 5 minutes but found nothing. We then widened our search and found the cache 5m to the south from GZ according to both our devices! Glad to have in hand! TFTC (Co-ords need to be updated please CO)
Checked the cache today after a few DNF it is in place as it should be.
This is a simple cache and you can park your car within 2 metres.
Co-ords are spot on. Checked with my phone and Garmin.
Added som more pennies from the 1920s
Trust your GPS it is on the wall someone has even scratched a line to show exactly where it is.
Awesome location for a cache enjoy the view..... Happy Hunting

With many DNFs and finders saying that this one is not where it is supposed to be and possibly located a long way from the listed coordinates, can the CO please check on this one, and update it if required.
Cache is most certainty there. Not where is should be!! Look harder. Great hideaway spot. Thanks
Quite confused by this one, not sure if we were looking in the right spot? Definitely couldn't find it at the listed coordinates though
Looked for a while but couldn't find it. The coords are in the car park so we assumed the low wall nearby, due to the hint, but it was not to be found.
Couple of minutes of searching and we had this cache in hand. Nice location. Signed the log. TFTH
DNF'd this one back in August 2015 when it was in/near the shed.
Searched again with the updated coords but couldnt find it again. Disappointing DNF as 3 of us were searching along the wall.

hmmmm a little confused by this one... current coords are in the car park..... but RoddyC's coords are in the shelter shed....
I found it. It was a lovely day (5:00 pm) is a good time to go. The clue is penny drop
Loved the dog and the birds. Don't know where cache should be as we found it on the ground. Signed the log, then looked at the clue and put it in the only place that made sense - under a ledge. The colour of the cache blends well in this position and is only a metre away from where we found it on the ground. Hope this makes sense Penny Drops. Thanks for taking us to this cute little seat with an awesome view.
We are in South Australia for a one week holiday at the Lady Bay Resort at the golf club near Normanville. Day 6 - we decided to take look at the caches around the Inman valley area north to Myponga. We found 24 caches of our trip which started at around 9am and finished around 4.30pm. Tomorrow we leave for a day in Adelaide before flying back to Brisbane at night.
Love the doggie! The coords that worked for us are S35 19.896 E138 26.871.
Log signed & replaced again. Found at 4.20pm on 30th November, 2016. TFTC

Roof missing on the shelter, as the cache was tucked alongside the gutter.
May have been the recent storms, will place it in the adjacent wall soon as I can get back there.
Sorry for the inconvenience cheers. The Penny_Drops

Was raining and thought we would have a super quick look. Will try again another day!
found with sir_spectre for the day. He got 6 finds, I got 33 finds and 0 dnfs. Grabbed this one after doing some of the cat and dogs trail. found the cache on the ground as the shelter now has no roof.
Checked with a recent finder and unless it is supremely camouflaged it's gone. I definitely didn't see it where he said it was.
No luck for me today. Given the information in the log I looked in the most likely spots but came up empty handed. Will keep a watch on it.
Looked all around for the geocache and could not for the life of us find it anywhere!! Amazing spot & did not realise their was geocaching spots in my hometown! Great adventure with the girlfriend
Hi there The Penny_Drops.
We found your cache **"Sea For Miles Too"** at 11:58:00 AM today.
This was our 7th find for the day and this makes our find count 12940.
Our cache run today started at a random cache on the map. We then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest etc. & finally ending up with 9 finds & 0 DNFs.
Nice Dog.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** Container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Down south for a couple of days tackling some caches with Tomboy711. What a beautiful view from here.. Love the little Dog painting and what a great tribute. Also found the house across the road interesting and quite unique, there was something interesting wherever you looked. This was a great find on a beautiful day. TFTC
Found number 15 of 62 on a geocaching Sunday. Found it on the way to the Sellicks Hill giant Buddha statue (Guan Yin statue) of Nanhai Putuo Temple in Sellicks Beach, SA.
Excellent sea view! And very funny shelter art.
Cache was not in the place I checked first, but it's in the second possible place. Nice hide!
Took a penny (Australian coin), and replaced with ten cents (Hong Kong coin).
Thank you for the cache, The Penny Drops.

Quick find with Brurus standing by to watch for muggles, although his quiet nature may not be the best alarm. TFTC♡
Thanks for the cache, had previously visited with no success bring SevzMc along and he finds it instantly.. I am vertically challenged he he tftc
Ok this one is back in play, new log freshly painted container and nice new strong magnets. Major cache creep recently followed by muffled. Please replace exactly as you find it to prevent it being muggled again. Thanks and enjoy, HAPPY HUNTING
Had a very quick look, while waiting for friends before we kayaked to Myponga, but unfortunately a DNF. Will have to try again later
Back in action, please return exactly as found. Muffled twice recently.
Happy Hunting

Can someone please confirm it's still there gps said I'm on spot searched and searched no find today
Had looked high and low and couldn't find it anywhere could someone let me know if it is missing
Just wondering if anyone can confirm if the cache is still there? I've found it before, but was in the area with someone who hadn't on Friday. She had a look around and couldn't find it. I had a look where I thought we had found it before but couldn't find it. As it's been a while since it was last found I'm wondering if it's been muggled?
Found with moores@victor on a drive out to Sellicks than back through Myponga and back home. It was a great day including lunch at the victory.
