Loved the monkeys (ms 5 loved the gorilla) and other arrangements, searched every tree hollow, but no luck for us.

The monkey location was looking tired and sad. And I couldn't find the cache.

Cool spot liked it

What an amazing site! We checked every possible location and kept coming back to the most likely but no luck. Cheers for the cache!

Interesting location - what else can we say! Thanks for the hide.

Took the roundabout route to a very strange GZ. Cache container was in bad shape so left a replacement. TFTC.

Well if we didn't detour to this cache, it would have stood out like a pimple on your forehead .
Looks like the local kids have been out having a bit of fun .
Very cute . TNLNSL.
Thanks Someuser.

Very interesting place to find. Thankyou

Went down a rabbit hole here as it turned out to be a long detour

Met a drunk monkey and a teddy bear Cache lid is cracked but dry inside.

TFTC Someuser

Still a hole in the lid. It's upside down to keep the rain out and I added a bit of a bark raincoat. TNLNSLTFTC

Found the site, but not the cache. This was really old and kind of weird.

found with my Mum (TeamThommo) TFTC

Cache needs some love, lid broken and log wet
Away doing a lap of Australia with my family, we started in January and already have been to Tassy, seen the eastern side of SA, up through the Flinders Ranges into middle of Australia and in to the NT to visit Alice, Kings Canyon and Uluru again. Making our way back through Cooper Pedy where we found some opal, now heading down and along the Eyre peninsula. Sorry for the generic log, I seem to get myself behind and muddled if I don’t do it this way.
Thanks for supplying us with a cache to do on the way. TFTC

: )

5-1, what more can I say?? ..... watch out for the grilla!!!

During our new years break, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula to travel around the various coastal towns. We started the trip with Jeep trouble, but then continued in our alternative vehicle without 4WD to stick to the main tourist roads where possible. We travelled south-west to Tumby Bay and Port Lincoln via Whyalla, Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay; west across to Coffin Bay; and then north-west to Streaky Bay and Ceduna via Elliston, and Venus Bay. We then headed back east staying in Kimba via Poochera, Wudinna, Lock, and Darke Peak.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I continued our adventure to Ceduna and Cactus Beach. We stopped off at Perlubie Beach, before exploring Ceduna's Thevenard and the local museum in the morning, and then travelled to Penong and Cactus Beach in the afternoon. These were quite the distance away, but we definitely enjoyed the number of windmills and pink lake there. We then returned back to Streaky Bay via Wirrulla to see the town's famous local secret.

We decided to make the inland drive off the highway to this location, and we were quite surprised to find this monkey business here. So random! We then made the cache find reasonably quickly, and while the cache container and logbook was in good shape, the container lid has a crack, and starting to become brittle. Thanks Someuser for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A fun week away with Davidwazza! TFTC!

Wow, what a remote hide and to find monkeys all the way out here - wonder why ?
Left a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin, monkeys will need luck to survive in the Bush.
Cache all in good condition and dry.
TFTC

Enjoying a 2 week break from home and discovering some of Eyre Peninsula.

Found It!
Odd little spot and a quick find while caching in the area!
TFTC

The monkeys are creepy but good spot! Thanks

Cache definitely present despite last being a DNF!
Tftc

Couldn’t find it ️

Very cool spot however could not find the actual cache....Monkeys are in need of some repairs too

We determined that we had sufficient time to leave the highway and drive the 10+km on a gravel road to get to this cache. We were surprised when we arrived by the various items that were on the roadside. Someone has certainly had a great time setting the area up. Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Someuser for bringing us to this novel location.

Today I was based in Ceduna, and headed out to some of the more distant local caches of interest. The monkeys didn't seem to mind my presence, and the cache was quickly located;



My thanks to Someuser for the cache.

Heading to Melbourne (home) from Perth (WAGB18)
Stayed at Ceduna for overnight
Beautiful scenery
Found it
Thanks for the cache

So an event or two got put on in an area that I have not cached, so a weekend trip was organised. Aussie M & M joined geodog Chloe and me for the fun yet exhausting trip. left Adelaide early Saturday mornng and I got home about 12:30 Tuesday morning...
Thanks to someuser from mogni

What a great cache hide. Aussie Mark liked the gorilla here.
A definite favourite from us.
Thanks.

Not sure if there was a box to write in! But we found it

Found on day 3 of BarnZy and Cravo’s adventure from Perth to Adelaide

Day 3 of the Perth to Adelaide trip where we started in Boarder Village and ended in Elliston.

Today had us focused on finding every alternate cache on the main road as well as the ones possible off the beaten track as we would soon be returning the same way and need to keep some spare for rest points. Between Ceduna and Boarder Village

The day started with a 4am Perth time start or a 5.30am local time, by the time we were in the car it was 6am and we were off again.

The first 2 caches of the day were aborted as the sun was yet to rise and were all based around a view and or visual aspects. So we loaded up the Marcy string of caches 120km away.

During this drive we would of done most of it through thick fog the visibility was poor and I was still amazed on that 120km of road we encountered 1 truck only, I guess most who drive this do so during daylight hours, meanwhile however Barnzy12 got a little extra beauty sleep.

We arrived at the first cache for the day with just enough light to find the it, we then headed to the “nearby” earth cache just 20km north of the high way the terrain rating was a 3 however didn’t think too much of it. I sat at a consistent 30/40kmh and soon arrived at GZ half hour later, the car was possibly not liking it however it at least kept B12 awake.

Anyway we made more tracks to Ceduna and had reception to at least let the better half know that we were safe.

A trip down the coast after a few hours then had us at the caravan park where we unpacked the car and walked to the pub for dinner. After dinner we found the last cache only 140mt from our cabin! Great planning on my behalf

someuser I found your cache Monkey Business thanks for placing this hide for myself and others to find.

Dunsborough is where it’s all at this year check it out at GC7GXQA October 13th + 14th. Hope to see you all there at WA Goes Big 2018.

Had to have a find for the last day of the year.

Found with Tweety2 and Redmond after a short detour back to camp. Tftc

Found with TeamAstro on a day trip down the coast from Ceduna. Thanks Someuser for the cache.

Nothing fishy about this one!

Found on the great Transpacific Rail Centenary (1917-2017) trip incorporating a visit to Maralinga Nuclear site. Blast of a trip.[^]

Thanks to someuser and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Thank you.

Thank you

Wonderfully creative cache. Would love to know the story behind choosing that location! TFTC

On the way from Streaky Baycon to Ceduna today, this cache detoured me off the highway.
And via the amusingly named "Cartwheel Corner"*
More amusement awaited me here at GZ

A lot of monkey business has gone on here !!
More monkey business happened today [^]
And after a couple of minutes of monkeying around,
I found,
A cache

Lovely spot full of charming characters ..
.. But watch out for "The GRILLA" [:o]

*Cartwheel Corner - S32 24.509 E134 13.557

Found this cache on way home from having Christmas in smoky with family. TFTF

Love it over here. Love these back roads.
My Bestie spotted this one... Cool spot.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Over the West Coast for Wirrulla's GF this weekend in Streaky Bay. My son lives on this road so it was a nice drive by going into to collect 4 dozen oysters from Smoky Bay this morning. Saw it on the way past and grabbed it on the way back. Funny! Loved the Grilla SL TFTC Love driving these back roads in the donga!

Found at 2:06 PM GAFF1.
What the heck is this all about We liked the "griller" that was a good touch, but the gorilla is falling out of its A framed house!
Thanks someuser.

Had fun finding this with our kids - thanks!

Found while travelling, on our 2nd trip around Australia. Decided to do a short detour, to pick up this fun cache.
Did a little maintenance while we were there. Signed the log and replaced.
Many thanks for the hunt today, someuser.

Easy find love the display to go with it

Well hidden easy find love the monkey's

Found on a trip to Googs Track with Freddo, Astro, Firesafe, Honeysucker, Gum Ako, TK2, DISK.

We were away for a week and found about 200 caches and had 7 dnfs.

Thanks to all who placed caches we found.

Awesome find! Laughed my head off when i found the general location....

Gave the locals a friendly wave as they drove past.

Grabbed TB to move along.

TFTC

Added some bits and a travel bug

This is a drive that takes you well out of your way, but worth the smile.
We fixed up a couple of things including replacing the cache container that the lid was cracked and gone.

Cheers from Mr & Mrs Barra

Found it together with Moselund United, on our trip in Aussie
Very interesting place:)

Found it together with Team Autoværn on our journey in Australia.

Nice place, lots of monkeys today.

Lid has cracked open and is no longer weatherproof.

Love it. Well worth the detour. Thanks for brightening a long trip. TFTC

This spot has gone to the apes!

Wow it's Kruger,nah we ended up at the zoo or maybe the circus got lost or then again we realy are geocaching.
Thanks someuser

Gee wow surprised to see "Monkey Business" make me a smile. Signed the log. Thanks someuser.

Tried to squeeze a few caches in while visiting friends in Smoky Bay for a few days. Flew all the way from the U.S.A. to visit them and attempt to find a few caches, but it wasn't meant to be. We only had a few minutes to make our search before heading into the outback with our friends for an authentic Australian BBQ. Thanks for the fun; sorry we weren't able to make the find.

found it while monkeying around TFTC

We were intrigued when we read this cache description as it has been on our must do list since we left home. We weren't sure what we expected to see here but it certainly wasn't this. These monkeys seem to live a lot more comfortable life style than the ones you see on the discovery channel. After we had finished taking in the scene we headed off to gz where we were glad to see that there had been no monkey business and the cache was found quickly. We bid the monkeys farewell and were on our way again.

Thanks someuser for a great cache

James asked why the bears were on the other side of the road. Because they are said Freddo.

We wonder who introduced monkeys to this part of the world?. It was a bit of a shock to see them there although they seemed unmoved by our presence so we got on with finding and signing.

Yay FTF!!! Cool cache. Abit out of the way but you never know what you'll find in the bush. TFTH TNLN
