Lets Walk the Wetlands Burton, South Australia, Australia
By McKee Clan on 05-Jul-10. Waypoint GC26FR2

replacment bridge has seen two sets of coordinates gone. cache picked up and this cache will not be returning.

Found the first clue at the lookout but could not find a thing at WP2.

Was the first clue on the railing with thumb tacs because i found the thumb tact and it looked like some thing else should be there

Well walked around due to bridge flooded feel down was this going to be a Dnf the saw some thing lookeded closer this is what I need great hide for final TFTC and the walk

Went back to lookout and found waypoint diffrent way to do a multi but got my name on log thanks for the hunt

Enjoyed a afternoon stroll in wetlands we have not visited before nice day for a walk TFTC McKee Clan

Found while walking the wetlands picking up rubbish during the CITO event with clare007...
The wetlands were beautiful today...TFTC McKee Clan

Couldn't make any sense of the co-ords at the lookout... and by the sound of it this csan only be solved by phoning a friend. Perhaps time for the CO to review this one...?

A multi done in not quite the right order, as a prior finder was in tow and backtracking from other caches was not allowed with sore feet (by this time). A good hide, as was expected from the COs.

Out on a caching day with Locus we decided to go for the numbers in pursuit of my 1000th cache.

We came up a little short and me a little sore but with only 1 DNF and a total of 73 for the day, we really can't complain.

A huge thanks to Locus for the company and the driving even though it was at times a little scary, I had a ball and I look forward to returning the favour when you are in Melbourne.

Out caching with the Travellin Bees having parked our car near the published co-ords thought we would grab this multi as well. We started walking towards the viewing platform when we spotted a HUGE Brown snake curled up sunning himself just off to the side of the path. Tried to grab a photo but much to our relief he quickly slithered off into the nearby bushes. Still weren't game to start searching for the clue just incase one off his friends was nearby.
We had pretty much accepted that we would be DNFing or more like DNA (did not attempt) this cache, fortunately we bumped into Locus Cache who helped us out with the information that we needed.

A sunny caching day with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat, and muggle Alex,
found us touring Kaurna park.
We followed the example of previous cachers and paf for assistance,
enjoyed the walk around the wetlands anyway,
near GZ we found a friendly frill neck lizard sunning itself!

On a caching day out with CPwanderer, clare007 and Phoenix Flare.
PAF was needed to complete this due to missing WP.
TFTC McKee Clan!

We soon realised part of this multi was missing so we phoned a previous finder and got some help. Thanks McKee Clan for the hide!!

We were nearing the end of our walk & CP was keen to complete the nearby multi.
As pointed out the waypoint was missing, but we had the magic end point acquired by CP.
A quick find, thanks for bringing us here McKeen Clan

Found on a caching day out with CPwanderer, Gizmo's Gang and clare007
Phone a friend lifeline was used the get to the end of this one.

Found the first coordinates but could not find the others no matter how low we got.

Attempted this a couple of days ago, found the first coordinates not a problem but couldn't find the next ones no matter how hard we looked.... will give it a go again in the near future obviously there is something we are missing TFTC

all good to go

weigh points all good, replaced log book.

will recheck

Damage to the third bridge, was unable to find third clue, and as a result... The cache.
Other than that, was a great hunt.

Great multi liked the story clues to find each part to the final TFTC TNLNSL

With the caching bug biting, I thought that I would clean up some of the caches I had in the general Salisbury area. This was the first one of the day and it turned out to be a pleasant walk through some nice wetlands. I located all of the way points without to much trouble and the final was the most difficult but only because I have fat hands.


Number 1 of 13 for the day

Girlfriends house backs on to the wetlands here so I thought I'd take her to find her first multi cache. This was fun, bit of work involved in making which was nice.

Final is a bit damp but my pen worked ok. Walked these paths a bit in the past so it was nice to finally nab the cache here.

Find #10
First multi!
Cool walk
xx

Our second multi... really liked the WP clues :c) the final cache has a bit of moisture in it and log was a little damp. TNLNSL. TFTC!!

It was our second attempt. We have done a part of this multi some time ago. After reading about a challenging stage, as reported by other cachers, we were over-thinking and looked in locations that were not the right ones. Wobbly GPS signal did not help either. Today it was nice and easy - beautiful day, good reception, easy find! The only negative is that the logbook is really wet. We think that the missing animal is a pelican. He is not there with the rest of the group, and they can be seen nearby, so...

Signed (wet) log, TN, left one-eyed pet alien, Thanks!

With KyKyrox, CPTawesome71 and geokid 54

Found but log was very wet but.. we left paper and ziplock bag for fellow cachers..
Was our first multi and it was great.
TFTC with the geokid CPTawesome71 & The t1ckler
Found 54

Found a couple of weeks ago with 3LG

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Out and about today with Ben7726 we found a few caches through a couple of areas, we enjoyed the walk around here today and after we collected the other cache in this area we thought we would take a short cut.....turned out to be the very long way as we were cut of by water every turn, the cache had a fair bit of water in it but i emptied that out, the logbook is slightly damp but will dry easy enough. TFTC

Over from WA to visit family in this area. Had a nice walk with son doing this cache, when we finally found it after a misunderstanding at WP3. TFTC

Great Little Multi Cache decided to do this one as I was Nearby doing another Job. TFTC

This was a fun multi! Loved the story, loved the effort and the walk was beautiful.

The little cachers had a great time and the end cache was awesome if a little damp

Thank you for the cache!

An interesting multi, in a fabulous wetland reserve. TFTC.

Second find !

finding caches for the scouts geocaching competition, thank you for placing caches to help me along the way. TFTC SL

A lovely day for a stroll and the bumpy trail put geobub to sleep in her pram so geomum and geokid could concentrate on the search. We found the first 2 WPs with ease but the third was a lot trickier and we were close to giving up when geomum found the coords. The cache was soon in hand but was such a struggle to open that geomum got out her camera to take a photo as proof of find as we didn't think we'd be able to get to the log. Then geokid came up with a clever, and successful, idea of how to open the container and the log was soon signed and a swap made. Log book is quite wet, although the container is so tightly sealed I don't know how the water's getting in. TFTC .

A nice early morning multi and walk - love these winter mornings SL Thanks from PG

A fresh morning for a walk, and walk we did!
Thanks for bringing us here, with birds and nature.
Unfortunately some water in the cache, the log is only slightly moist though.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Could not find the last set of co-ords to the Cache location. I had 5 new people with me, they loved it to this point. Went back to the previous point to recheck the co-ords, yep correct, moved back, still no luck. Abandoned.

Found it!

Cool

Out for clean up Australia, grabbed this while we in the area.SL.TFTC.

Found It!
Found with muff1 while CITOing. Nice little multi in a nice little park!
TFTC

Tonight was just not our night! After a previous failed multi attempt nearby, we came unstuck at WP2, couldn't find it. Maybe we're not small enough!

Good multi ?? the cache was almost impossible to open but got there on the end lol no writing implement to accompany the new log book so scribbled names with my key tftc

Hi great fun with kids. Cache need to be dried out thanks

Decided to stop off on the way home from work.Took a while to locate wp 1(found a munzie closeby to,so thats what they look like..).Knowing what to look for ,the other wp's were simpler.Contents damp..TFTC

Had to do a quick locus cache on my way home from work today. However, as I didn't leave work until 7.10pm, it was pitch black by the time I finished this one so I was glad of my torch.
Loved the story for this cache and I loved seeing how many spiders there were on the ground: their eyes glistening like diamonds in the torch light. I think all the creatures were getting ready for the expected rain!
Passed the structure and then found the missing animal: the FROG!
Had to smile as I passed the flashes of light that are the nearby night cache, too!
Log book is damp, as is inside of cache. Although how it gets wet inside the cache container is a mystery to me.

Allowing myself only a 15 minute window on the way home from work to park and dash around to find waypoints, I had to visit this marvellous park 3 times to gather all the locations and find the cache. I think it was worth it to come here more than just once.

Thanks for the cache, McKee Clan.

A great multi-cache, especially for introducing 2 newbies to geo-C. Took 2 plastic rings and left shamrock & scarecrow.

Nicely constructed, and nice theme, had fun and a nice walk. My prediction as to where this would end turned out to be incorrect. Log was damp, seems as good as the container is the thread might leak a bit. Was also a bit hard to open, only one of our party of 4 could open it. Thanks for the cache though, we had fun.

We enjoyed the walk & this multi. It was a coincident that we have a Makayla in our family caching & spelt the same way too. (Rare)

It was ironic that she found 2 out of 3 of the required numbers for the multi. Took the RastaMan T/bug for a walk as well.

SL Took US geocoin to move on TFTC

Finally had the chance to finish this multi. TFTC Took nothining left US Flag Geo coin. Sl Log is quite wet needs some maintanance.

Found with some help from Honeysucker on a lovely spring afternoon with a few friends, who are now addicted.

after doing a nearby cache it was time to do this great cache might have to come back in the light as we didnt see the structure

Found with Honeysucker and Liz & Bruce. Enjoyed the story and the journey. The story about the Kuarna people is a good read too.

Cheers and thanks for the cache guys

Finding this one with a couple of other teams was good fun. With thanks to the McKee Clan

When I stopped here last week it was too dark to try this cache but I attempted the other multi and got all the way to the alien but couldn't read the final coords so I came back today with the intent of getting two quick multi's under my belt.

This cache was a pleasant walk in the park, and a nice story too boot.

Thanks Mckees.

Found with pop nana and Josh team lolly friends

Number 150 for Pink Mafia

Lovely stroll through the wetlands... Took me ages to find the clue at WP 1- had to dodge the council muggle on the tractor that parked next to the lookout to talk on his phone - he then appeared just as i was about to make the find at GZ!

Great cache McKees!

All points okay and a little damp. found the cache has a rightway up to keep it waterproof. will return when dry and open it up for couple hours.

Another nice cache by the McKee Clan,never been here before ,right in my own back yard,(getting a bit damp,don`t know how nice secure container)TFTC and the history lesson.

Good to get this one off the list as it was my second attempt. An enjoyable walk towards the cache. Took the pathtag.
Thanks McKee Clan for the cache.

Realised today that I brought home a part of the cache theme with the shiny dried glue on it's bottom, must have come loose. Been washed & dried, will try return to the cache this week.

good walk lots of mozzies out

Out for a night hike with Trailblazer Venturer Scouts (more are getting their own GC accounts), Ishtar was our top clue finder and her sister Athena finding the well-secured Final. Unfortunately some of the huge amounts of water that passed GZ have got into the container and it was quite wet inside Dried the inside of container, removed the soggy furry mouldy animals. Logbook was damp also, let it air dry a bit and dried the inside of it's bag.
Thanks for great night-time hunt.
Cheers ' scargoes (P)

Logbook needs to dry out more.

very wet inside. great find. dried cache removed mouldy fuzzies.

On a lazy new years day we were getting a little stir crazy so we headed out for this one. It was a very pleasantly warm afternoon and there was still quite a bit of water around from recent rains. I managed to copy down the numbers of WP4 wrong so we ended up wondering why the cache was locate in the middle of some private property! A quick back track to realize we were even on the wrong side of the water all together also and things were all sorted out. There was a very persistent little black & white bird near GZ that was not happy we were there, flying loops around us repeatedly! Cache still a little soggy too. Thanks for a fun walk.

just visiiting the aussie pathtag bag.

Thought we would check out a few this afternoon whilst the rain was off. The WP's were very cleverly placed and took ages to work out what we were looking for. !/2 of the team wanted to give up but the other was not going to be defeated. Why is it so easy when you know? found Cache a little wet inside so poured out the water and dried as best we could. Had a tag encolsed no. 3713788. Said something about reporting it? Anyhow took nothing but left a good quality Golf Ball.

It pays to have the owner amongst your group when looking for their cache.... After getting some info along the way the cache wasn't too long before it was found...
Thanks McKee clan for the cache... And I think it was the Wombat although everyone finished up safe...

Did this one at night time in the presence of the cache owner, what a great multi and a great story put together by the McKee Kids. TFTC TSLS

Had already covered alot of the wetlands and had the owner who had to do some "maintenance" on the cache so we set out to find the cache. TFTC

Logged this one while completing the night cache.

Always helps if the owner is nearby.

I think the missing animal is a bunyip.

TFTC

Bonus cache to find on the night walk with group of people. Even happier when we returned to the car to find Mrs Scoboster had hot coffee's and hot chocolate waiting for us at the end of the walk

With others after a night of caching 101 we followed the animal trail. We think we heard some lost corellas in the trees. Hope wombat was found safe and sound. Thanks for showing us this interesting area.

Found on a fun night out with others.
The missing animal might be a Platypus

Found with a huge stream of lights as part of the Night Caching 101, followed the owner who had some maintenance to do - TFTC.

It's easy when the cache owner is along for the walk you know
Nice to finally put a face to the caching name as well.
Cheers and thanks for a fun walk McKees.

As the cache owner needed to do some maintenance, we had to tag along for the ride

Thanks Marty. Great cache. It was fun to watch Scott and Marg go for a search while the hoards supervised (me included).

Found this one at night with a group of cachers on a night caching event. It does help when the cache owner is in that group, however he did let the group do most of the hunting. Thanks for putting in a lot of effort into an interesting multi.

Found as a bonus cache during the Night Caching 101 Event. Very nice to have a guided tour of the wetlands by the cache owner. Thanks McKee Clan!

Thanks for a great story and a great place to go hunting.. we cheated a little in the dark, with a little help from our insider friend We found the paths and the sculptures and finally firesafe went cache hunting before throwing it at me .. oh there's a Koala! No lost creatures but a big clan of Bunyip's out at night!

Took us quite awhile to find WP1 , which was 4 metres out on our GPS on this overcast morning.
The error was similar for the other waypoints, but we got used to them and found the neat little hide .
An enjoyable walk, enhanced by the amount of water around now [^].
TN. Left koala. SL.
Thanks McKee Clan.

Got a bit wet in the intermittent rain today.

We found Blake. We found Blake! Yeah...

Lovely to walk around this park. With water! With sunlight!! Still took a while to find WP1. We just were not thinking like brolgas. The rest were easy once we got started.

Thanks for a great cache.

Bug

A second visit and success. Peaceful walk though it would have been faster if we could have borrowed a couple of those peewee motor bikes that were buzzing around. Never saw any brolgas. Clear skies!

The kind of cache we enjoy, a pleasant walk through the park while hot on the trail of those animals. Finally found Blake (who made a bolt for it when the cache was tipped).

Boy is there a lot of water around there at the moment making the wetlands even more stunning than usual.

TFTC

Had some trouble with WP1 & 2 but smooth sailing from there. Swapped TB's. TFTC.

We headed over here on our way to do a night multi.

We love this park so close to home, yet it doesn't feel like its in the middle of a suburb.

Enjoyed this
