Got 4-5 years out if it before it went missing. The dinosaur didn't even last that long. Will close this off and place a new cache somewhere else as there is no need for a cache here now.
Amazing how before caching nothing takes as long to drive to, but you discover caching and all quick trips take hours longer, and the drive home takes twice as long on a different route One of those days today, tftc
Dinosaur no longer there, just stumps of legs. Used the hint to get the smilie. Thanx
As we were driving back I asked my driver to stop so I could grab this one.
I managed to disturb two goats & attract the resident dog's attention.
Thanks for the hide CyberCitizen

Out for a drive by myself to clean a little southern map space!
Didn't see the Dr, but did find a cache and some nice free range eggs...

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks CyberCitizen for the cache.
Just the lizard skin left guarding the cache now and a resident watching us from the window. Signed the log anyway so TFTC
**Tomboy and I were out and about letting our GPS be our guide**...
A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned... Pity the raptor is broken...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment CyberCitizen...

Found with Snap Happy, it's a shame the raptor is missing. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache
A quick find today on our way home from Mount Compass. The mother of all cows was standing as close as possible, watching me intently, but that's better than a velociraptor, I guess. Someone has laid a dead, flat sleepy lizard on the log above the cache. It gave me a bit of a start when I first saw it!
Thanks CyberCitizen.
Thanks CyberCitizen.
We almost tried this one last time we were down this way, but the stupid GPS spat the Dummy at the most inappropriate moment. Today all was good and it was an easy find that we probably could have found last time if we took a better look back then. Thanks for the Cache CyberCitizen
Now we know where to buy cow poo for the garden.

We arrived at GZ according the Geomobile GPS but no sooner we got there and Mrs Sandalwood Cottage had pressed on something she shouldn't have on the handheld GPS. We spent ages try all sorts of things to reset it but no luck. By the time we gave up it was past time for us to head home so we gave it a miss and headed home. Wouldn't you know it the minute we got home Mr Sandalwood Cottage looked at the handheld GPS again and hey presto he fixed it. Never mind a great excuse for us to go out and give this one a try again another day. "We'll be back!!!!!!!"
So I was in Adelaide to do some Christmas catch ups and of course some geocaching... This was one of 95 for the day.
Thanks
Thanks
Found the third for the day on a roll. This on was harder to find. Protected by Lizard. Peter and Yank
Headed down to victor harbour early to get my numbers up close too 800. Found it quite quick. Tftc
well it was 3 metres away from where my gps said it was but still a easy find. while writing log a goat came over to fence and watched I was rehiding cache
Found out with BearyOrganised on our day geo-caching to Victor Harbor. Very wet underfoot. TFTC TNLNSL
Found it with CherryRose on our way to Victor Harbor. Very wet under foot. TFTC TNLNSL.
Heading down to Victor Harbor with Spanner111. It's a beautiful day for some caching. We were greeted by the 2 friendly white goats. Mind you I didn't get too close to them. Cache is good, ground a bit wet under foot though. I think it's been raining here. TFTC CyberCitizen
Found this cache with hevwalker12!
We were greeted by a cute pair of goats!

They had sold out of cow manure but sure more is been manufactured on site.
Will try again another day! No one has logged on here for a while so we can only assume it's still in place!
Owl was on convoy duty for the Stradbroke Venturers. On the way to Victor Harbor she decided to teach them how to cache and carefully herded the girls across the road and back again. They wanted to take a goat as a swap, but Owl talked them out of it. Not enough room in the car for a start!
Thanks CyberCitizen, good hide and absolutely interesting hide. Absolutely no idea what the statue was originally, but gets the imagination going, was it a prehistoric creature ready to devour an unsuspecting victim? Was it a huge eagle or hawk ready to take flight over these majestic hills? We don't know who Doctor Grant was or is but could you let us know what the connection is, we are very intrigued.
Found the cache in good condition, signed the log and although tempted to purchase some moo poo we resisted the urge, replaced cache as found. Be warned future hiders if communicating with the nearby muggle cow the cache will be exposed, she is a big mouth and will tell you exactly where GZ is for this cache, damn muggles, haha.
Tnlnsl.

Mr Tardis stopped by here on the way to work this morning. Unfortunately only feet are left from the interesting structure. I found the cache in the first I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache CyberCitizen.

On a caching visit to South Australia with Richmond Lad. After arriving at Adelaide airport, picked up our hire car we headed off towards Goolwa picking up a few caches on the way. A quick find that required more time crossing the road compared to time looking for the cache!! Thanks.
We were heading towards Middleton and stopped to do this cache. Probably spent more time waiting to cross the busy road then finding the cache TFTC
Having finished around Murray Bridge and Victor Harbour, time to head back north then east.
Early morning, and looking forward to first coffee in Wilunga down the hill. A quick find thanks.
Thanks CyberCitizen 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 had a late start to the day but decided to head out and keep our fingers crossed that the rain didn't get too heavy.
Managed to visit Willunga and we were very impressed with this lovely town. Even managed to grab a late lunch at a cafe, which was really really yummy. Hope to revisit next week.
Of course we grabbed a few smilies whilst here and loved the history and views shared with us today.

Today we make our way back to Victor and after the last 2 failed attempts today we actually make it all the way grabbing quite a few caches along the way, weather was great for us today and still have many more still to find down this way, a nice quick find for us today. TFTC
Out for the day with 3LG and located this cache on our way to Victor Harbour.

Having attended the Mega we headed over to Victor Harbor to spend a few days to visit all the lovely places in the area and to find some caches as well.
Thanks CyberCitizen for the hide,

Bit confused why we might get eaten. Then checked photos. Don't think we'll get eaten in a hurry. R.I.P. Took purple pen, left dice. TFTC
Out caching with JJ52, a great day where I clocked up 56 caches, now my record for most caches in a day!
Thanks JJ52 and TFTC
Thanks JJ52 and TFTC
Decided to have a day caching at and around Victor Harbor so Ismartis and I headed down in the morning with a list of caches that we hoped to get. After a great day we ended up with 55 smileys and 3 DNF's with Ismartis grabbing an extra one on the way home. [^] [^]
This was the extra one on the way home. It was dark by now so with torch in hand we made our way to GZ. Ismartis added a geocoin to her collection.
Thanks again CyberCitizen.

Road was very busy today, due to the wonderful weather.

A great day spent caching with ROMA123 in the beautiful countryside around Willunga and McLaren Vale. This one was 2/20 for the day on the way down the hill on a very busy road.
Thanks for the cache CyberCitizen.

I think who ever Dr Grant is, he needn't worry any more as there only appears to be feet left... TFTC
Is it Dr Grant from a certain animal park?
