WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 12 - Port Lincoln to Elliston via several small roadside spots. After my travels down the east side of the Eyre Peninsula showed me more and bigger towns than I expected, on todays travels up the west side of the peninsula, there were a few settlements, but they were all very small and it is much windier on this side. Elliston where I stayed the night at the golf course RV park, was smaller than any of the other regional council towns I have visited, but they did have a nice pug where I had dinner. The days caching was pretty much all roadside caching until the end with some of the Elliston caches being out on coastal cliffs and the jetty. Things are getting more outback every day now.Today was mostly roadside stops where I squeezed the van onto the edge of the road or a parking bay and walked the remaining distance to the cache. Found with no issues today.Thanks for the cache wheres_wolly_sharon46687.17 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2007 June Signal A#92**Albida**

One good thing that has come out of the Covid situation, is the need to holiday in your home state. With a week or so to spend away, we decided to head to Port Lincoln - a place we had not visited before. Our second day in the area was spent exploring the Coffin Bay area, and what better way to find all the interesting spots, than to find the caches which had been hidden.

Another quick find as we started to head back to our accommodation.

Interesting location. Geocache found SL TFTC

Tftc

Just doing a caching run today with ilook4geo starting at Coulta and heading south to Coffin Bay area. We had an enjoyable time and found quite a varied range of containers and hides. Thanks go to wheres wolly for placing this cache and adding to the caches that are available to be found around this area.

Found plenty of caches today with goingplaces2 and had a fun day. Each log was signed and each cache was replaced as found. Job done! Thanks for placing this cache.

Another quick find thanks

Divide an conquer, Mrs tatts retrieved this one while Mr tatts retrieved the other just up the road. Tftc.

On a road trip around the Mid North and Eyre Peninsula, geocaching as I go. Predominantly targeting old caches, solved mysteries and grabbing some interesting looking traditionals.

Well it’s 2021 and I have finally said good bye to a not so great 2020 and it was great to finally be able to have a reasonable holiday as I have not had a decent break since 2019.
Made to South Australia and finally crossing the boarder and then being greeted by a couple of very friendly SA police offices for which i had the official paper work to allow me to enter.
After making my way west along the Eyre Hwy I went as far as Penong and the Eyre Hwy which I have not travelled along since the late 70’s when I was on a holiday with my folks and this was the last holiday before I started full time work as a sparkie and finding a few caches as I go.
Geocaching when towing a van is not always easy and I have to be a bit selective on which ones I decide to try and find for safe parking purposes especially along busy highways.
So after leaving Venus Bay my next destination is Coffin Bay NP which is down the bottom of Eyre Peninsular off the Flinders Hwy.
The weather has deteriorated again and it was not a pleasant drive towing the van to this one.
Donned the rain jacket and went off in search of this one.
Not sure where the old hotel is / was and if I was in the right spot but the GPS told me I was and then I spotted the footy ground so I must be.
Soon spotted the cache and added my name to the log.
Thanks wheres wolly TFTC.

Thanks

Found it . lovely day.

Quick find

On my Elliston-Pt Lincoln leg of my round Eyre Peninsula caching odyssey. A quick find. It seems pretty quiet these days (? pandemic induced). Thanks wheres wolly.

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

Today, our plan was to head to the west side of Eyre Peninsula to Coffin Bay, and have lunch there. We enjoyed kilpatrick oysters (hopefully fresh?), before making our way north through Mount Dutton Bay, Farm Beach, and Coulta, and calling into Greenly Bay. We then looped back east through Koppio and Whites Flat, stopping off for a steep hike to North Block also. An enjoyable day to be out and about, with highlights being the coastal towns and views, and hills hike.

There was certainly no evidence of the old hotel around here, and just looks like it has been swallowed by jungle growth. This cache turned out to be well hidden in and around the ivy, and subsequently took a few minutes to locate. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks wheres wolly for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Pulled off the highway into this one, it took a bit to uncover but got it in the end. Cache is all good

Today Davidwazza and I continued on our trip of caching out port Lincoln to the best we could, today we made our way from North Shields in and around coffin bay and the back roads. All up just over 50 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

I was down in Pt Lincoln with Laighside Legends for the long weekend and our plan was to head out and cache our way towards Coffin Bay and the surrounding area. It was a warm and pleasant day to be out and all caches that were found were in reasonably good condition. As it got close to the midday event we bumped into Mr Tardis and one of the nearby caches. The nearby event was an enjoyable affair, joined my Aussie M&M, Mogni and Mr Tardis, food was eaten and stories were swapped. At the close of the event, we continued to cache around the area before finally heading back to Lincoln for an evening event. It was an enjoyable evening at the pub to end the days caching before heading back to our accommodation in preparation for our next days caching.

TFTC

Found It!
Looks like this town might have seen better days...
TFTC

Certainly not much left here now, but there was a cache.

Hi there wheres wolly.

We found your cache **"The old Hotel."** at 11:09:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 15755).

We enjoyed our trip around the Lincoln National Park today. (We came prepared with some cache maintenance gear, but it wasn't needed very often).

On our journey we found a wide variety of container types. We ended up finding 8 caches with 0 DNF's today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.
