We had come to look for this cache yesterday but the atrocious weather resulted in us aborting the hunt. We returned today in better weather conditions. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a well hidden cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks bregor for the cache.
I ended up spending most of the day down south with [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) targeting new-ish caches around Willunga and McClaren Vale. The breakfast club event at Morphett Vale meant there was a reason to come this way, and the first part of the morning was a little sporadic before we did a few of the Cats and Dogs series, and then tried to clean out Willunga. A nice day out with just over 50 finds.
All good with this one today, and [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) had a previous unwritten DNF here. However today, we made a quick find. Thanks bregor.

A nice and easy find
Out for the day down south to solely go to the 3rd breakfast club event, with not much of a plan other than to just find caches Davidwazza and I set out to find cache around McLaren Vale/Wilunga area. A nice day out with just over 50 finds.

Was out after watching Geoson play soccer. Sneaky hide but found after scratching around a bit. Tftc
Cleverly concealed hide! After checking the obvious spots I realised it was hidden the first place I checked.... just a little differently than I had expected! TFTC September Streak Day 23
Found with Muggle husband after watching grandson play soccer. Lovely park. TFTC TNLNSL
Took the ever suffering Sal half of brisal out to dinner last night and stayed overnight at Serafino Winery in McLaren Vale. But now it was time to drive back home again before the impending rain storms hit. Still I had time to make a quick stop and find this cache. Then the rain arrived and that put a stop to caching for the day.

We decided to spend a beautiful holiday Monday finding a few caches in the Maclaren Vale. A quick find at GZ in a nice park once the GPS settled down. TFTC
Greetings from Brisbane . A weekend trip to Adelaide and surrounds was planned to see the sights and find some of the interesting, rarer and older geocaches you have hidden here.
Day 2: An early start was made to head into the Adelaide Hills before visiting McLaren Vale, Cape Jervis and then down to Victor Harbour. With a few hours of daylight left, I headed back into the city for a few more smilies, then climbed a hill to watch the sun dip below the horizon .

Enjoying our little weekend away in McLaren Vale, sneaking in some cache finds while we're here, many TFTC
My driver had already nabbed this one,
but it was a convenient spot to make a phone call & use the facilities.
Missed the cache initially as I didn't realise what size I was looking for.
Clever play on words bregor, love these awesome gum trees!

Today is Day 100 of my 100 day streak challenge WOOHOO! I picked up a few OTDs before heading home for a celebratory wine or two. Found this one on the way home. Why On Safari? I had expected to see a Zebra or too.
Today we combined a trip to Paxton for sliders, beers and music with geocaching. We picked up a few both before and after lunch and this was one of our finds. TFTC and for bringing us back to this great area what a ripper of an April day perfect for geocaching.
Very sneaky! Took a while to hunt this one down but after poking around, it was eventually exposed. TFTC!
Wanting to take our dogs for a walk, my semi-muggle friend & I headed to McLaren Vale...we walked a bit of the rail trail then found this nice little park and the cache...thanks bregor
A sunny friday afternoon with a day of ment that a day cachng was in order. I was hoping to finish of the cats and dogs series I started last weekend and, hopefully, puck up a few more caches around McLaren Vale. Unfortunetly a 4 O'CLock dentist appointment ment that I had to finish early than I would have liked. Despite this a good caching day was had.

A nice little find did the climb in but was a little worried I wasn't going to get down. Managed to with a little tree hugging TFTC
Found by The Boofs TFTC . Hidden a bit higher than I thought it would be . Tricky climb in the wet!
Find number 1316
Found while out on a night caching adventure with Snap Happy, AnyMules and KiwiOzzie. Sorry for the late and generic log...I am only new to GSAK.
Thanks bregor for placing and maintaining this cache.
Out and about caching with AnyMules, Tomboy711 and Snap Happy. We had lots of laughs, drove on all sorts of roads (including some 'tracks') and finally returned home about 1.30am 28/05/2016 6:42 pm Find #1285

Found actual cache, did not log as unable to reach (appears cache may have slipped as impossible to retrieve)
Thanks for the hide, on the way home from Murray Bridge. Stopped in to let the little one have a quick run around, while me and my son went looking for the cache. Cheers.
Day 3 McLaren Vale.
After lunch we headed towards McLaren Vale looking for some caches.

Suscoe headed down to the McLaren Vale area for an enjoyable day of caching.
It was a sunny day with no wind, just perfect for a day finding containers.
This was our 7th find of 100 for today.
A quick find and sign.

Missed this one last time although our GPS had us searching a different location not so today the satelites alligned and at a GZ of zero we found a black bison tube which is different to the mtce on the 8-2-15 by the CO, but there was a lot of team names on the log is this the previous cache?TFTC bregor
Cache replaced this morning. You are now looking for an eclise mint tin. BYO pencil.
Took us a while to find this one. We had a look at the start of our geo tour and kids crawled all over the tree. No luck so we called in on the way home for almost instant success. TFTC lots of fun and a bit tricky for us shorties
Trickiest cache of the day! It was our first cache but also our last. Being shorter than average produced some difficulties in spotting it however no trouble getting it down.
No luck for us today maybe a spot of cacher blindness on this one will check it out on our next visit TFTC
Went to McLaren Vale for the day and to look for caches. Did look for some but because of muggles and being aware of creep-crawlers gave up except for this one. Because it was very quiet could spend time looking without being disturbed by muggles etc. A good hide. TFTC breqor.
Thanks for Our 1st Cache of The Day! Spotted Quickly by GeoKid Who Also spotted a Black Cockatoo
Found on a caching day out with the Hero Husband (Moneydork), Semik and Skippy. Thanks for helping make it a great day.
I am pretty sure that I had a DNF on this one a while ago. I nearly had one today until I finally looked in another place.
I wasn't expecting to find that type of cache, you tricked me Bregor. Neat hide. TFTF
TFTC. Sioux's Tribe let an exclamation of surprise out with this cache Placing hands in strange places does that when touching something not expected. I did not have to do any hunting at all.
Having finished around Murray Bridge and Victor Harbour, time to head back north then east. Just finished 40 and Cats'n'dogs, and time to get some distance north to the Riverlands.
There were some other travelers here, but not a problem for the location of the hide.
Thanks bregor for the cache.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.
Currently camped with our Caravan at Kuitpo, we have been weather watching all week. As we attended the dinner event in Adelaide last night it was a late night for us so a late start for today seemed in order After lunch a plan was hatched and a quick loop away from our camp was undertaken. Lovely area with some great vistas and of course so many wineries.
Of course no day can go by without getting a cache fix too.

Today our plans are to cache Victor Harbour with earthlight & the x trailers picking up caches along the way, we didn't quite make it that far as we kept stopping to grab some of the many caches along the way, all told i managed 67 with no DNFs the weather held out for us today with slight drizzle towards the end of the night finally turning into heavier rain, gwen from the x trailers hit her milestone of 5000 finds tonight and it was smiles all round, it was a great day had be all and another trip is already being planned to get to Victor with no distractions on the way (yeah right lol) GZ had us at one tree but was unable to find it, we had only just said in the car on the way to this one how we haven't had any DNFs and this one looked like it was going to be the first for the day, expanded the search, saw 2 huntsman's near the cache hide and had cache in hand after they moved up the branch a bit.

Found after searching a little than GPS had us searching
3LG and earthlight were out caching the night away with us

Came back for a second look in the morning. Still couldn't find it! Any chance anyone could check it is still there?
Quick find for my advance geo cash friend msotto. Not sure if I would have been able to find it by myself! Tricky!!
Found it on the second visit ... don't know how we missed it the first time. TFTC!
