Had good GPS lock. Put me right in the middle of two olive trees (as also pictures on google maps) a search of these trees turned up nothing.
If, as suggested as by one of the other logs, this is just a plastic bag, then it may need a check and confirmation that the cache is Ok by the CO.
well i thought we had finished but just needed a couple more to finish off this section
I've covered every square inch of a 10m x 10m around where it says this log is, leaving no stone unturned. I'm down but not out. I'll be back another day.
Here I am looking for the peach container and the read previous logs to say previous finder has changed it to a bag, there are a few online logs that is not actually logged.
More prickles - definitely only do in cool weather.. Easy find if u r ok getting dirty
Nice walk. TFTC

Thank goodness Sneaky Kit kept looking. She was very pleased it was a cold day when she turned over a rock and found a couple of snakes. TFTF
I looked up and down in and around scratched and bleeding arms. Glad baby snakes slow and still. Never know what turns up under rocks. Certainly would not do these caches in the spring or summer with long grass.
Headed over through the weeds from #2 with Roffer. It took a bit of a hunt, but found eventually. TFTC.
There is always joy in getting a FTF, but the next best must be when there have been many who have gone before you and made that very obvious geocaching trail, it makes the walk to GZ so much easier as they have broken down all those nasty thistles. SL TFTC
TFTC TNLN. Great scramble through the scrub to this cache. Heaps of Superb Blue Wrens about too. Found a Black-shouldered Kite and its nest near by,such a shame this cache and area is doomed for developement! Thanks spuddymore!
Looked busy as my party did the dirty work. Decent place, but nasty slide down the hill.
Now, how to approach this one - do I scramble, do I walk? Decided that walking would be the better option for me. Actually selected the one further to the east on my GPS by mistake, so walked past this one on the way to the other. Made comment to my self while passing "that would be a place I could expect to find a cache". And so it was.
Ge those bags really are Bi-degradable!!

Thought it wouldn't be where it was, so someone else in my group had the pleasure of yelling "here it is!" Good hide, but not a place I'd like to spend a lot of time at.
Went and had a look at this one(and the one along a bit), but did not start out due to the terrain. Not that it is overly difficult, a bit steep maybe and a bit of a walk-in to keep the scrambling to a minimum, but would take too much time that I did not have today. Will return!
We were not sure about this one, where to park? Where to walk? And when Waterlogged and I finally found out way to GZ (from the West), where to look? It was like trying to find an eclipse container in the bush!! After a long search I found the container in a bag just lying on the ground under a tree! We logged it and tried to put it back a bit more securely. TFTC
Must have left my geo finding glasses at the last cache as no luck for me with this one today. GPSr seemed to have me at a likely spot but no joy.
It was a good afternoon to get out and cache, so I headed to Hallet Cove to grab some caches in the area.
Went for the walk off the edge to grab the two caches. TFTC.

Looked at the approach from the South, and saw that there were drier options! Found a spot to park after a quick drive around the 'block' and walked along to both the Creek caches. Thanks spuddymore!
Found a place to park and went for a stroll to collect a couple of caches. Thanks spuddymoore
Spotted the covering bag last weekend when I logged the DNF.
Thought it was the leftovers from a dog walker!
Went back to today and it had been placed differently and looked much safer to investigate.
A little embarrased at the DNF but messing with dog do was not so appealing.
Smiley is mine now anyway, thanks spuddymore.
Signed the log TPD with a limestone pebble.

A nice and easy find in a grassy and slopy reserve between a main road and creek. Thanks spuddymore.
Not sure if I was having a shocker but I looked really well and was unable to find it today.
Will watch it to see if someone else can grab a smiley before I go back.

Today we did a huge challange and achieved 178 caches in a 24 hour period starting at gawler on a bicycle at midnight and finishing at the mclaren vale in a car 24 hours later. Sweat, blood and laughter was part and parcel to find a cache every 8 minutes for 24 hours. We found this cache and thankyou for making our challange possible. We were assisted in our challange by emily~angel & dennisC52, Thanks guys you did a fantastic job. We had a ball and were very tired in the end, maybe I'll not cache tommorow hahaha.TFTCSL TNLN you should see our track from the GPS 320km driven in total for the day with 185 caches visited.
Find 89 of 178 for the day. Started at Midnight this morning with the Nxy challenge, and continued till midnight tonight in a 24 hour caching hunt with McKee Clan on our bikes, and then joined at 3:30am by Emily~Angel, swapping our bikes for a 4WD, and finishing at Maclaren Vale with 178 finds for the day for McKee Clan and I, and about 120 for Emily~Angel. Had a ball, but was glad to hug the pillow in the end. See the McKee Clan log for more info. SLTFTC.
PS: I'm definately not caching tomorrow!! (I'm paving instead...)

Not really the best day to do a walk through long grass.
Luckily no snakes were seen.

Strolled along from #2. This one took a bit longer to find. However the views of the other xmas house up on the hill were very good.
A stroll along from number 2. We found the path on the way back - as you do. Lovely castle with landing lights for Santa across the creek. Flashy. Muggles will be looking there which is cool. Clear skies.
Second find with Jimmy along the creek. not as easy as no.2. Helps when you know what you're searching for! Thanks again Spuddymoore
Steady stroll along a mown track, first of two along the creek. Thanks Spuddymore for the cache and hunt.
Took Celtic Cross Geocoin, incorrectly logged Geocoin actually in Along the Creek 2 GC2HFPZ
Silver @ 17.40. Did the prequel as a sequel to the sequel??????????? Quick find late in the day.
Thanks Spuddymoore. SL

Cache was already wet outside, so wrapped it in a bag and replaced.
Felt very exposed on that hillside opposite all the houses.
