Logs
Had the entire crew searching high and especially low. No trace found anywhere. Reckon this one has either blown away or been muggled.
Bit disappointed we disnt find this one.looked high and low to no avail. May need to check th at it hasnt blown away or been muggled.has been a while since last found. Apart from that we looked up and was an amazing view greeting us. Lazy sea lions but some beautiful coastline. Heading down to coffin bay with many stops along the way then back up and over to adelaide.been nice being near the coast. Thanks for getting us here!
Must have cache blindness going on...
Missed the cache last drive through... muggled out
Back today with winds so high felt like i was gonna sail off the cliffs.
Awesome views and awesome photos... but alas no smiley today... and more muggles appeared!

Our final day of touring and caching before heading west and home to WA tomorrow.
Thanks for all the great caches that we have found in SA over the past eight weeks.

No need for stealth, the only ones there on a warm blue sky. Plenty of seals, and we watched for ages the young pups playing in the surf. T- pixie pic, L-mini flute. TFTCTEAM
6438. [green]I had a fairly constant stream of tourists coming and going so got to spend over an hour watching the sea lions before I even attempted to search for the cache. There was a pod of around a dozen below to the right and they were entertaining one and all with their constant scuffles and romping both on land and in the water - magic.
Eventually looked for the cache and found it easily while the coast was clear - except for the 50+ sea lions that is.[/green]
[blue]Thanks for the cache Grandeeze and the brilliant spot. [/blue]

Great location for a cache, it was a beaut day, the sun was shining and there were at least 30 seals passed out on the rocks. TFTC Grandeeze!

Found with e.gregory1 while in the area for holidays. Very cold and windy here today. TFTC
Fantastic area. Big swell running today, which made it all the more spectacular, but not bothering the sealions! Thanks Grandeeze for the cache.
Back in circa 1964 I and some friends broached these sand hills in our 4WD and in doing so were the second lot of people to visit the seal colony. There had been earlier settlement but that had been many many years before. I remember the open country teeming with kangaroos. At Point Labatt we climbed down to the left of the lookout and scaled the cliffs along to the right. Looking at it now I am not sure how we didn't kill ourselves. Young and bullet proof maybe?
Found and signed.
Thanks for the memories.

57th find during a 29 day camping trip that took us across the Great Central Road to Yulara, then down to Marla to start the Ooodnadatta track to Maree. From there it was on up to Arkaroola and a journey down thorough the Flinders Ranges to Port Augusta, before the return leg across the Nullabor to Perth. All up a great trip of over 7000 KM's.
Enjoyed the caches out this way today. Mrs Red Devils birthday today, and we are enjoying a few nights in Streaky Bay, bit of a break before the run home.
Fantastic to see the seal colony, very windy but a great day, really enjoyed this one. Nice easy find too.

Found without GPS. J just had a hunch that there might be a cache around here! TNLN. JREJOS.
A great view and location. Seals a lot more active than the last time I was here many years ago. Dropped off fish related TB - very appropriate. TFTC
Wow - awesome location.
Lots of sealines and awesome coastal views. A definite favourite.

A difficult retrieval due to muggles in the area not leaving (when we arrived). Eventually I retrieved the container and sat behind the wooden barrier to sign etc. T: pathtag, LN, SL. Thanks to Grandeeze for another cache at a great spot.
#2033 Found on Day 7 of our Eyre Escape with DazzPete. We were originally heading from Venus Bay to Ceduna today but an unfortunate lack of accommodation had us stopping at Streaky Bay instead. With such a short driving day we were able to drive past less caches than usual - thank goodness otherwise we wouldn't have been able to favorite this! What a top spot that we would have otherwise been oblivious to if it weren't for caching. We spent quite some time waiting for the muggles to leave (not that we minded at all), when there was a sufficient break in traffic, GeoP located the container. Our thanks to Grandeeze for highlighting this place

Eyre Escape Day Six and we're heading for Ceduna, at least we were until it twigged that it's the long weekend. A phone ahead determined that Ceduna was booked out so a revised plan saw us depart Venus Bay for Streaky Bay. At least this gives us time to explore the area in more detail.
If it wasn't for this cache we would not have come here, this is what we love about caching. There were quite a few muggles around when we arrived so we went and payed tourist until they departed. A few sea lions on the rocks below, the distance maxed out geoD's zoom lens. geoP made the find after spotting a likely hide on the way in.

Grabbed this one in the pouring rain, disappointing that we didn't get more of a chance to watch the sea lions. Left TB. TFTC
Found at 10.05am GAFF1. We just had to keep on going after finding Alex, as we didn't see any lions and we were not disappointed here - there were dozens of 'em. Most still sleeping, but a few of the young ones were playing and jostling each other. The sea was fairly rough and we even saw some in the rough water playing.
Thanks Grandeeze - and yes we approached the cache with stealth, signed the log and returned it to the exact spot we found it. (actually it was visible from afar so we hid it even better than we found it.)

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble., Nice easy find while the muggles ate lunch behind their car.
Lots of C lions today. They were paddling and sleeping. A great day. Almost no wind.
Our third visit to see the seals and we never tire of it. At least a hundred to see today, all lazing in the sun on this glorious day. So many places we are revisiting and laughing because on previous visits we were totally unaware of geocaching, let alone the fact that we were walking over them or sitting on them or standing beside them. SL TNLN
Found this one quite easily with geokids - Middle geokid had spotted hide before I had rugged up and left Geofourby. Second time to this spot in 4 years and both times v. windy!!! TNLN TFTC
Just a lot of lounging around today but there was some frolicking. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC.

Great location for a cache. The only problem was that I had to wait for over an hour for muggles to clear. Every time one group left another one arrived.
However I did enjoy watching the sealions.
