Despite driving past several times this week I was unable to replace the cache due to the pony club running a gymkhana there. Given it was my best chance in ages, I shall archive it as it just wasn't possible to replace the cache.
Thanks to all the previous finders for enjoying the search.

Didn’t have time to replace the cache, can see from the road at 100km/h it has been cleared up by the fence, so will have to relocate it next time.

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

We are here visiting, house and farm sitting for three months. There are only 86 caches on the island. Hope we get smilie faces on all of them.

Still camped at American River, today we are exploring the road down to Vivonne Bay.

Quick find in the bush. Thanks FourW

gatta nera and Hai Happen married! and what comes after a marriage? ok, her name is still gatta nera and not yet gatta Happen, but would be quit interesting Very Happy

so, next is honeymoon Smile

so, the decision was made, it should go to Australia, with a 12 hour stop over in Singapore to check out the bay area.

Our last full day on KI started this morning with putting back all our stuff from the bungalow into our car. First location was the Hanson Bay, continued to Vivionne Bay and Seal Bay.
After the Seal Bay (we saw some sea lions, but there have been way more at Admirals Arch, but I think a different type for sea lions Very Happy), we took our way back to a little town between Kingscote and Penneshaw for our last night on KI - tomorrow morning we will have to catch the ferry back to the mainland.

ah, and at our last day, we, or better gatta nera had the first time contact with a snake while looking for a cache, the question is only, who was more surprised and shocked, gatta nera or the snake? nobody will know, as the snake was gone within seconds and Hai Happen heard only, "oh, I think I've scared a snake, but she went below the bush" Very Happy

Had five wonderful days on Kangaroo Island with the Sal part of brisal. Cool I was reminded several times that we were on 'holiday' and not a caching. So if we happened to go toa place sightseeing and there happened to beat a cache I could get it whilst Sal took some photos. Likewise if we happened to be passing a cache if it was a quick grab that was okay too. Lucky for me we happened to be at or passing about 35 caches during our stay. Razz Had a couple of DNFs and a few we just couldn't get to for one reason or another. Left a handful of my PTs scattered around the island. My thanks to all the owners who have placed caches over here. [:o)]
Day 4: Quite a few more caches this end of the Island. Means will be 'just passing a few today....I hope. Surprised Nobody around at the pony club today. Quick find for me, Smile Grabbed the TB. Thanks FourW. Big Grin

Day 2 of a 6 day stay on the island with the intentions of finding all the caches on the island, we succeeded finding all of them with no DNFs Smile the stay was fantastic even though we were in a heatwave while staying here, luckily we had an air conditioned accommodation, while here we saw lots of Kangaroos, Wallabies, Goannas, Seals and lots of different species of birds, according to Mrs 3LGs fitbit we walked around 60 kilometres during the 6 days here Smile located nice and quick and no problems with any prickles here.

This cache is logged after we came back home (Paris, France) after a FANTASTIC journey in Australia, New Zealand (and China for 2 days).
Those two countries are very different but absolutely FANTASTIC.
We visited a lot of cities and places and the game helped us to discover a little bit more than "normal tourists".
Thank you to all cache owners.

No proble to find the cache.
We saw this strange spider near by.
