Hi there,
Just arrived at GZ and all we found was some Velcro at the back of the sign. So if that was it's hiding spot it's gone.

This is the 977th find for WazzaAndWenches

Day seven and the day we are heading home to Echuca from our holiday in Victor Harbor. We had planned on going via the coast road and Naracoorte to Horsham today then on to home tomorrow but decided on the spur of the moment to just drive straight through. It's only around 8hrs (plus cache stopsBig Grin).
After a trip across on the ferry (a first for most of us) we ventured into town for a quick find.

Yep, I also found the suspected evidence of a cache hide but didn't give up too easily and had the cache in hand very soon after.

Thanks Bronsen.

Parked the car where we got fuel for the body and the X-Trail on the way home. I walked the 500m or so to GZ and waited for an old couple having a stop to move on the quickly removed the cache, signed and replaced.

Cache hide was FULL of ants! Walked back to the car just as the geofamily finished lunch and we loaded up and got back on the road.

Found in the company of Mtbikeroz on our way home from out Tazmania trip
Great place to stop and make me wake up. The long drive makes me fall asleep.
Grrr to the muggles that decided to read the sign right as I needed to replace it.
Finally they left and I dashed out to replace it.
 
24-Mar-11
Found with MtnLioness on our drive from Melb to Adel.
Only one spot it could be, so parked right there, then MtnLioness retrieved it we signed it, then just as MtnLioness went to replace it muggles pulled up right behind us and went to read the sign. Arrrgh. We waited until they finished, then replaced it and we were off, TFTC. (PS - nice to see the river so FULL).

A nice hide. Found whilst geo-caching with Geocats23. TYFTC
 
12-Mar-11
Went to look at the obvious location and almost left empty-handed as a piece of empty velcro attached to it suggested to us that it had been muggled. Geo-Mum decided to look where she would hide it anyway and there it was nestled in its bed. Great view and good hidey hole. TYFTC.

As I pulled up there was a father and daughter and van parked right on GZ. After 15 minutes they departed and I leapt in for the find.

I always stop at the lookout here on my journeys to Adelaide.
It makes such a pleasant change to look out over the river after crossing the flatlands to the east Smile
I had a quick look around for the cache and found something that I presume is a decoy [:o]
I kept looking and soon had me a cache though Big Grin
TFTC and ferry tale views [:o)]

For taxation reasons, we had to get a few more kms on the family car so we thought this cache was far enough. The total distance for four caches, including this one was 350 kms. We rolled up and we were faced with driving rain but brave geowife jumped out of the car and grabbed the cache. Thanks to some great directions it was an easy find. Thanks for placing the cache and helping us have lots of fun! TNLN. SL
