Archiving this one as the neighbours were becoming worried about those 'hanging around'... even though there is a fish n chip shop next door, and they do the same there!
Quick find after I wandered away from where the GPS was pointing us Not sure if that was were it was meant to be and the GPS led us astray (Not for the first time that night) or if it is in the wrong spot.
Found somewhere I don't think it was supposed to be; after several minutes of combing the entire GZ, Ari wandered off to check somewhere nearby; the "Sold" sign near the storefront. Lo and behold it was there.
Insides were also heavily waterlogged.

Found after a while of searching, but very probably in the wrong place! TFTF.
Found on our way down for an night of camping at Cape Jervis before heading to KI for the week.
Very easy find, though I'm not sure on the importance of the hide.

used this cache as an introductory find for 5 interested families while holidaying at normanville a great success particularly for the 12 chlidren involved
Got here just as the Hooker lady was putting out the flags and signs.
Bumbled around until there was an opening.

Very quick find on morning tea break while on a motorbike ride with Sabers ride group. I opened Geocache.com & found out this cache was 18metres away: too close to not find it TN. SL. TFTC
Just dropped by for this one on our way to the pub for dinner. Thanks for the cache!
A Muggle was pretending to be looking at photos in the window but was really he was checking us out. While he turned to make it look like he was looking at a house we did the snatch and grab and soon had the cache in hand. A quick sign of the log and replaced it just as quickly when he pretended to look at the photos again. Thank you Mr Hooker er I mean NormyCrew for the cache.
No muggle problems today. On a weekend away without the kids and snuck this in while Mrs chill was in hooked on books. TFTC
A quick find but had to get it out without all the people across the road seeing.
Thanks for the hide.
Thanks for the hide.
Busy fish and chip shop nearby but the muggles were more interested in their food than me.
Another find on our little adventure to Normanville for the day - a great hide. Thanks for the cache!
Nobody there today to thank, but we did pick up the latest Real Estate Magazine.
Out for the day caching with Gemini7

Needed to wait for the land agent to move out of the driveway so grabbed some props from the nearby sweet shop.

We spotted this one as we were walking to the pub for a meal. There were too many muggles around at the time but it was much quieter on our return so we were then able to sign the log.
Thanks for the cache.

Found on a late night visit to see a friend. Easy find, the rain kept the muggles at bay.

Spotted it! Quickly grabbed it!! Then logged it in the car!!! (Extreme stealth required!!) Loved it!! Thank you NormyCrew!!
Found with The Kat and Geo-Hero. Retrieved discreetly by the Kat. Lots of fun! TFTH
Parked right on top of it during family long weekend away. Too many muggles for us to look suspicious - so find was easy. SL TFTC.
Normanville was only starting to wake up when I attempted this one so it was easy with no muggles about. TFTC NormyCrew
TooBlue pick up key from these guys of the rental house we're staying in at Carrickalinga. Fortunate for us the car space was vacant . TNLN. Thanks NormyCrew
Thank you mr hooker, you've run out of books!!!!!! Found with Damikalu. Muggles everwhere..............TFTC
6th find for the day with Sanjofa. Heaps of muggles about so looking in the window was a good distraction. TFTC
Accompanied by SA Mystery Inc we went to visit my Mum in Normanville today and on the way home said to Mr P we should get this one-he said he didn't bring the GPS but I was confident of where this would be as I had seen the cache go live and thought then I knew its location knowing the area. Lots of muggles around all wanting to talk to Mr Hooker so we parked almost on top of it and it was pretty much a lean out rather than a drive by and making out to talk on the mobile I soon had it in hand. TFTC.
Found on the way home from a little caching trip around Normanville and Yankillia.

Out for a drive from Victor to the other side of the Fleurieu to do some caching and catch up with the relatives. A nice but windy day.
Bought some sale items from the local surf shop while here.

I was very excited when I found it - lingered noncholantly while waiting for family to get out of the car!
Quick trip to the shops, Easy for son-in-law and daughter on their very first ever find with us!!!!! Thanks NormyCrew
Mrs S had an appointment nearby but we had time to grab one more cache before she was due for lunch. Mr S made a quick find on the way to check the window offerings. Would love to buy something down here but the prices are too high. Replace the cache on the way back to the car.
Thanks NormyCrew.
Thanks NormyCrew.
Parked outside the Diner where there was a gaggle of muggles hanging out.
Found and retrieved the cache while holding a conversation on the "Mobile phone".
Returned to checkout the 'Properties for Sale" in Mr Hookers window and surreptitiously replaced the cache while again using the 'Mobile"

Nice Normy Crew to do another of your caches after a break.

Thanks NormyCrew.

Easy find without Mr hooker knowing. Lovely paving being laid next door. Thanks NormyCrew for the cache and hunt.
Found it nice and easy. I did not see Mr Hooker today.
Thanks NormyCrew for the cache.

We found this while out walking with the Grandchildren. They just loved being able to retreive it and even got to say "Thank you" to Mrs. Hooker personally. Thanks for the cache.
A nifty little hide for GeoRanga to find with her Geo Nannies. A bit of moral support from the local real estate agent and the log was signed.

Unbelievable! A first to find!
Over from Melbourne for the annual family reunion and decided on an early morning walk along the local beach. Headed into Normanville to check out this cache and was very much surprised to find the log book empty
Many thanks for adding a little extra to our holiday
