16-Jan-12
During the drive home from Adelaide to Melbourne AND a mountain bike ride in their park at the "Eagle on the Hill" (a must for any visiting mountain biker.....with a mountain bike lol) we thought that a brief stop and a cold drink on a hot day would be a good idea, AND a hunt for a cache as it turned out, it was just what we needed, a quick find was had and we were on our way, thank you Sydneykiwi for the find in a nice landscaped area.

07-Aug-11
After some assurance from previous finders that this should be a nice easy find, it turned out that a tiny bit of cache creep had made it much harder to spot. Managed to find it after a few minutes, but then had a moment of surprise when I grabbed it & wondered why it felt so strange...

TNLN - Thanks Sydneykiwi!
 
03-Aug-11
We pulled into the truck stop thinking that there had to be a cache in there somewhere. When we turned on the GPS to have a look, we realised we were only 5 meters away!

Thanks for the cache Sydneykiwi!

07-Jun-11
Sunny day - perfect for caching. Unfortunately I was on my way to a training session at Murray Bridge so a quick roadside stop off was all I could manage Surprised(
The truck stops etc are slowly improving around this area with a few toilets etc so people don't rush off into the bushes.

Quick easy find in the obvious spot. No swaps. Cheers

A quick stop on the way home to Vic. I sounds as though I may have been able to log the nearby Isaacs cache on my way too
as it appears to have fallen from its perch!
Thanks Sydneykiwi.
 
02-Mar-11
When we got near GZ, the vista was of a "boy in blue" with a radar gun checking the speeds of cars on the freeway. Thankfully he was too involved with his work to be interested in us. This enabled us to make a quick find and a quick get away. TFTC Sydneykiwi

Traveling home with Mr Coffee and the Coffee Clan after our long weekend caching in Adelaide this was our eighth cache for the day. The parking area was vacant making for an easy find. Mrs Crackers spied the cache from one angle whilst Mr Coffee retrieved it.
We passed some trackables through here to build up some miles
Thanks Sydney kiwi for the cache

Our first find for the day, took much longer than it should have due to a police office taking down the details of an abandoned car right in front of the cache - TFTC

Found in the company of ParisLaura on a cache spree to Murray Bridge in an effort to help me reach my 1000
Thanx for the smilie!
Took too long for something we saw at first then dismissed!

Found a little exposed, I think it rolled out of its hiding place. Left a tb. Thx Sydneykiwi for the cache.
 
09-Jan-11
I wanted to get this cache while traveling between Mt Barker and Nairne and had decided that Petwood Rd was a good way to get to the cache. Now I know why the GPSr wanted me to get onto the freeway as the access road for this cache.

Thanks for the cache Sydneykiwi.
 
06-Jan-11
A nice easy find as we quietly walked amongst sleeping truckies. TFTH...SL...TNLN

I was able to arrive at this cache location from the dirt road nearby rather than the freeway. Jumped the barbed wire fence and thought, oh no muggles! A car was parked at the facility. Approached the vehicle and realized that it had been dumped. Anyone own a Ford Falcon sedan, WCY934?

Looked for the cache and found zip. Then I got a call from the last hider. Now that is serendipity. We discussed the location and what I was looking for. Gone was the decision. A new cache was retrieved from the car. In total I negotiated that barbed wire fence 4 times.

Skippy will have a job this week to pick up the dumped sedan. Has he found the cache?
 
30-Dec-10
Came in along Petwood Road and scrambled up the bank Wink.
Sitting at GZ, we had a radar unit, weed sprayer and lawnmower all in attendance this morning Surprised, as well as the usual crowd using the facilities.
Waited until everyone was busy elsewhere and looked in all the likely places and on the ground under the structure, but to no avail [B)].
Really think this one has 'gone with the wind.'
Thanks Sydneykiwi.

Didn't find it
Date: 27. Dez. 2010 15:38

nope!
 
22-Dec-10
No luck on the way to collect the Lowan hides, with Fishing Pole Ninja in tow. Searched high and low, and came up empty handed. After reading the log about the wind blowing it away, looked quickly around, and saw nothing. Saw the photo when I got home to log this, and it definately is not there.

Thanks to John from TeamAstro this cache has been replaced. It is now a film canister. Please bring your own writing implement.
 
19-Sep-10

I have driven past this nice rest spot a few times and today had a small film container that would do the replacement trick. With SydneyJeremy's kind permission, I replaced the hide. There is only one good spot for it so think up the back. If you can improve the hide, please do.
Clear skies from TeamAstro. Oh, BYO pencil. Smile

For a never found cache and months since it was placed I think it is about time to Archive.
 
20-Jun-10
Obviously not here anymore folks - sorry, I will go and check it!
 
20-Jun-10
There was a truck parked right where we wanted to search and the driver sitting in the cab. Sat and waited for a short while but seeing so many have not found it we didn't waste too much time. Another day perhaps.
 
19-Jun-10
Thank you to all you guys that had a look for it makes me feel better that I failed as well spent best part of an hour looking even widened my search to other structures and natural things nearby
 
19-Jun-10
Had the place to myself. Looked all around the shelter and no sign of a cache. Under, over, in there or up there. For a 1.5/1.5 it can't be that hard.
