Time to go.

Not the best area for a cache the damage is ridiculous to the wall ! Geo idiots? It should be archived

Too much damage being done plus rocks high above passing cars ain't promoting caching

Came here for the first look a while ago which was to no avail so this time Morris1100 offered their services for my second look. Climb up and stared searching. Morris 1100 was even beinging to wonder where it had gone too then - bingo - spotted the cache.. . Tried to sign log but it was very very wet. TFTC...

Log needs replacing. Very very wet...

No find here for me.

Nicely hidden in the rock wall

Found with Parko's as a part of the Geocaching Scout competition. Thanks for the cache

Arrived here with morris1100 while touring the area. We were not sure how long this may take us with the Morris clan watching on, but young Miss Parko (belleanna14) came up with the find within a minute or 2. Co-ords were out by about 7m for us. Thanks Team Waldron for the hunt

Climbed the wall on a warm morning with Mr & Mrs Sandalwood Cottage. Searched and found cable tie, but no cache.

Took a quick look for this one but it was rather hot up there on the hill and although we found the cable tie we gave up the search to head off to some others nearby.

After getting a call from Firesafe I thought I'd better check on this one.

I took a replacement with me but left the pencil in the car.

I couldn't spot the original and went back to the car to get the pencil. When looking for a spot for the replacement I spotted the original's cable tie.

It's still there.

Rock on.

This was another case of a full on day caching!

I was out with the boys: firesafe, CP Wanderer and Honeysucker and had the luxury of driving a Prado with free diesel for the day, thanks to a friend of mine [^]

Somehow, though, Prado got interpreted as Tarago by our usually extremely competent navigator and so we mainly did urban caches rather than rural ones where the vehicle's potential could have been more full utilised but it was still a hugely fun day and all up I attempted to locus cache at 95 caches: 89 successfully and 6 DNFs

Thank you, gentlemen, for the company and laughs and huge congratulations to firesafe on his 10,000th cache [^] [^] .....which just happened to require a 23km fast run from Aldinga to Mt Compass for the FTF (and our 2nd FTF for the day [^] ). Belated congratulations to Honeysucker, too, for his 6,000th find [^]

Having driven past this cache recently with TheSA cousins, today was the day that we all worked to convince firesafe that he really needed to stop here and try again for this cache, which has previously eluded him. Sadly, this time we all had a DNF to log as we just could not find it.

I will be back, someday.

Hunted and dnf

Also spent a long time looking.
Think this one might have been muggled.

had a good look but no luck for us today

Honeysucker and I hunted around for 15 minutes even though we only said we would look for 5 but no luck today.

Nice quick drive. Never mind the gnomes they,re irrelevant.tftc team Waldron. #391

Lucky find as the sun shone on the cache at the right time

TFTC

Took a few minutes to find this one, and we got a few strange looks from motorised muggles driving by, but finally had the cache in hand. Used the hint, and thought we had the location narrowed down until we realised there were 4 of them and it was still a big area to search lol. We were getting excited after finding this cos we were on a cache hunt day to make it to 200 .... only 4 more needed

Cache is still there.

I'll add a hint.

I see many smashed gnomes with dates on the fragments, I'm thinking they were part of the giggle? DNF

Had another good look here but still no find. Too many DNFs to ignore; needs checking.

Found the original GGG here years ago, after 4 visits, but not the replacement one today. The resident gnomes have all had their heads and bodies smashed off, by some morons recently. No sign of latest cache after a 20 minute search. Might be an idea to check this one after the last lot of DNFs.

Thanks for letting us revisit,
Team Waldron

Found something in the company of my Cuz MadBikerOz.

EDIT - Ok, it seems I may not have found Waldrons version but instead, another one.
EDIT AGAIN - I found Giggle Gulch Gallery - GCXAZR (Thank you Freddo)
A cache by EmZee Wild'rs Hidden : 25/Jul/2006
instead of this one. It is still there so if anyone wants 2 caches for the price of one start at GZ on the ground next to the road, look 5 cages up and resting against the bottom of the 5th cage in the middle is a cache.

couldnt find this one... even with lots of exploratory work and all the clues

Tore apart wall :p followed all clues. Still no find

I made the short walk up to the cache and realised quickly that this cache could be litterally anywhere!
I had a look in a few suspicious areas until I got a whisper from the friendly gnome and spotted it.
It was definitely buried deep in the rockwall and I had to do some excavation to grab it.
I didn't quite hide it so deep so the next finder can reach it.

Cheers and happy caching.

Great location and it felt very wierd caching as all the cars went sailing by below us. Found with the minimum of fuss! It is definitely there! TFTC.

Had a really thorough look even with the help of a very clear photo hint ... still no find

thought I would grab this one aswell! Took longer than I thought! Nice hide TFTC

A lucky find in the dark

found it after second attempt,
very clever, take care on this one

next time

I wonder what the people in traffic think of those crazy people sitting on the wall! Great cache. Thanks Team Waldron.

Took a detour to get this one today. A friend new to geocaching had been fiddling right next to the cache without realising it was right there!! found after searching for a few minutes. Not many muggles noticed us when we were sitting down searching. TFTC

Today was Maggie's second visit to this cache. She was cover for TPD and myself at GZ. An interesting hide, not quite as high as the police helicopter overlooking traffic conditions. Traffic flow was ok so no action required other than to sign the log. Thanks Team Waldron for the cache.

Interesting but fun location, took Maggi the geodog for cover.
So this is what a fish feels like in the tank at the pet shop.

White Magna wagon was beeping frantically as it passed, maybe a previous finder.
Thanks Team Waldron for the cache. Left Australian Half Penny 1937

We got lucky and it didn't take us too long to find. We got a few waves from the motorists while we were up there. Thanks team waldron

Found when out with Earthlight & The X-trailers
TFTC

Locating this one was made more difficult as road workers in the vicinity of cache
tftc

A very busy spot today with road maintenance .
Managed to retrieve and replace ok.
Had Zoom Rockey and The X Trailers to tell when all clear.
Love caching with family and friends.
TFTC

Arrow kind of spoils a good cache
Thanks for the cache

A quick find on a epic quest to find my 1000th cache!
TFTC.

I remember the pain of this cache.

I came here 3 times before I found it once. Lizard spotting.

But not tonight. I primed myself up for this by taking a great pylon picture across the road. I'm thinking of entering the pic in Pylon of the Month (http://www.pylonofthemonth.org/). Maybe. What do you think. HDR and cars??

Anyhow, the find was made in a spot that had a big big arrow going right to it. Some nice cacher had done that. Players, don't sweat when you approach GZ. Be cool. Take your reading glasses. Turn off your GPS. Don't look at the arrow. Feel the Force.

Clear skies.

So cruel...

Felt very obvious up here, great view though. Searched for a good 15 minutes but there are just so many options here.

No find for us today

canipa

Silver for me ...... I bet the passers-by had a good giggle when they saw the CRAZY old lady walking around up on the wall of stones

Thanks Team Waldron for the cache.

FTF
Dived out after dinner for this one. Managed to get there to find a pristine white logbook for me to sign. Passers-by must have wondered what the hell that bloke was doing perched up on that wall of stones. Nonetheless, thanks T_Waldron. SL.

Actually logging this on 16/1/12 but did find about a year ago with a heap of others in the area. Sorry for the delay in logging, the date is approx right I think.
Thanks
