Looked for a while. Went to gz, then moved to the place the hint suggested but still no luck.
Used my yellow pages technique. Cache has no lid.Our running mate @curlyrunsnz is back from NZ and is tackling the next 2800km to Darwin. We camped overnight at Crystal Brook and followed him to north of Port Pirie. On the way back to town I did a few more caches and a mail run.Tk2, I found Lochiel School 2 today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.
Over to attend the Great Leap Forward Mega Event with tmann421.Have done a few km collecting caches and have enjoyed the tour aroundThanks to all the cache owners for their efforts in placing and maintaining these for us to findSigned log tm/ww NZ
*Another nice find with woolwood9 today.* Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit. SL *tm/ww NZ*Soon located. Container could do with some TLC
Compass was leading me astray until I read hint again and eventually made the find. TFTC
Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. After basing ourselves in Peterborough for a week we are on the move to Minlaton today and grabbing a few finds along the way. Thanks Tk2
This one was so difficult!! Almost missed it. Someone mentioned an arrow. We found two that weren't the correct one. My husband is very good at finding caches, luckily!
Thanks Tk2 for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #8310 on 25/4/2023 at 8:27 am.
A day trip north to collect some smilies. Some caching therapy after a solid month of designing puzzles and placing caches. I can’t pass the opportunity of good weather and a mid week public holiday. Respect to the fallen.
Caches were in good condition unless stated otherwise. I signed the log myself with my stamp or with pen and returned as found. Maintenance was performed if required to make sure caches were in good condition for the next finder. Thanks for the fun.

Found it with Poisin55. It took us a while to spot it but eventually we had the log signed. Look for an arrow. TFTC
I did not find the geocache, I have a feeling that it has been stolen or been misplaced as I looked in around and in the shelter and it’s surroundings and did not find anything. I recommend the owner of this geocache to come to the site and retrieve and re-hide this geocache.
This pineapple is taking advantage of the long weekend by taking a day trip out north. I didn't get as far north as I wanted to as I slept in, but still had a good day.
I got out to Lochiel and Kadina for a few caches. As well as fishing for some near Kulpara.
I stopped here to eat lunch, turns out this cache was here too!
A quick find.
A familiar building nearby.
Cache retrieved and signed.
Thanks Tk2 for this cache.

Adelaide to Perth Roadtrip.
Day One: Adelaide to Iron Knob.
Weather: perfect.
I picked up the campervan in Brooklyn Park, picked up a prescription in Torrensville, picked up a TB from OZGrumpy in Mile End, and then straight onto Highway 1. This is the first stop. I hadn’t even gotten out of the van and a concerned local asked if I was lost. Cache was in the second structure checked. Thanks for the hide Tk2.

A caching day was planned with allister w and Michells&hound and a nice list was made visiting Lochiel, Snowtown, Bute, Kadina and Moonta. [^]
It was an early start on a cold winter day. The temperature hovered around 8-11 degrees for most of the day but that didn't hinder us, at least it was dry. We had a fun day driving some great country roads and tracks and found a great assortment of caches in some pretty cool spots.

A fun day with JJ52 and Michells&hound going from Adelaide to Lochiel, Snowtown, Bute and Moonta finding caches along the way. My main role was to drive and find caches. TFTC Tk2
Today was a mighty fine day. A Jams crew day albeit depleted today it was just Allisterw, JJ52 and I so we logged using our individual caching names rather than as Jams.
We made a canny plan to head up the highway to Lochiel, Snowtown and then via Bute to Moonta. Lots of caches found including several ‘bastard’ nanos (eagle eyed Allister was the nano king today). Lots of historical buildings, a monster, the beach, a wedding, a bomb, tractors and many ‘welcome to’ signs. Lots of ‘bastard’ cacti but we seemed to win more of those than we lost which was a definite bonus. Only one dnf for the day.
70 caches visited and Allisterw top scored with 69 finds.
It was very chilly all day but no rain so no complaints.
Thanks to the many COs for contributing to our day out and big thanks to my pals for the laughs and Allí for driving.

Passing by but took a little while to find. The hint makes sense and it was in an obvious place after I thought about it a little more.
Thanks for the stop.
Thanks for the stop.
Plastic bag added for log. The installation of this cache does not necessarily require a lid as it is fully weather protected and dry. All good, no further maintenance required. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC Tk2

It's taken me two years to return and have another go at this cache. Don't search the inside of the shelter shed and bump your head on the rafters like I did. OUCH! The container is missing a lid. Sooner or later the rain will get to it and ruin the log. Thanks, Tk2.
A really nice area which would have been great in it's hey-day. The clue helped a lot as there were a few hiding spots where this could have been and it wasn't in the obvious place. TNLN. Cheers.
Didn't expect to have the opportunity to do a cache or two today so didn't have any spare parts with us. Needs a little maintenance. Good hide, thanks for the history. TFTC
Camped nearby with family, so went hunting for this location while in the area. Found after a 10min search. Good spot, thanks
Waiting for the fog to lift so we can do some roadworks. A bit of a nasty hide but found eventually with LowRezz. TFTC.
Day 446 ( Tuesday 17th) of our trip. Caching along the way, in Bute today. Out this afternoon to get a few around the area. TFTC
Day 1 of our Eyre Peninsula caravan odyssey with the geo-pup.
Not sure why everyone is dissing the hint.. it's on that structure, and towards the back.

After a DNF last time this time success. As others have said the hint is useless if youre looking! TFTC!
Staying at the Beautiful Hummocks station at Snowtown (highly recommend it) we ducked out to explore the local region using geocaching as a guide. Some great history and vistas explored today.

TFTC found and logged this one today. Had to stop the kids playing on the equipment, nice quiet little area
As others have said, the hint is complete rubbish, but the cache isn’t too far away and still within easy reach. #NLAMT.
Thanks for the cache Tk2.

We looked for this cache earlier this year but were unsuccessful. We learnt soon after that the cache was missing and was replaced. Today we returned as we headed from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula. This time accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Tk2 for the cache and for your maintenance.
I have to agree the hint is of no relevance but its not far away, there was even a stepping stone there
Once there was a school here. Now a cache. Good swap!
The hint wasn't much good anymore, so read the logs and then made a quick find nearby!
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Tk2

No luck for us either. Given earlier comments if an easy find, a check by the CO would be appreciated.
