The damn area is still undergoing some damn work. Will wait with damn anticipation to see if a cache can be located back in the damn area once complete.
Major work happening around the catchment dam. Cache has gone missing but I will wait and see about a replacement. Tracks to the area are currently closed so not sure whether this has a future.
As kids we scoured these hills every weekend, living in the only house south of Seacombe Road. It was a long and dusty walk to school on rough dirt tracks. The corrugations on Morphett Road were so deep it was like climbing a staircase. Those were the days! This dam was not here back then. The hillsides were bare. It is now very gratifying to see the regeneration in the area, slow as it is. Regrettably the cache was not found (walking up from Take a Look), but it's been over a year and a half since the last log find, so not entirely surprising. Thanks for the return visit Tiger Muffin!
It looks like this damn dam is in the middle of the damn road works and currently not accessable.[:(!]
Had the opportunity to grab this today. Never knew it was here.
Ive never placed more cache in OHRP than the 2 I have as there never seemed to be much to see, apart from the magnificient views of our great coastline! Obviously I havent explored it enough.
As I was about to replace cache a 4WD with 4 construction types with fluro vests and hard hats stopped about 10m away to inspect the nearby excavation. I got some surprised wierd looks as I emerged from the bushes! lol
It would appear this cache will be safe from the new roadworks, and the boundary will come a bit closer to it!

Thanks TF

A nice walk along the ridge approaching from the west on my quest for finding the non-smileys in OHRP. Thanks Tiger Muffin.
Parked on Majors Road and walked this was the last in a series. Easy find. Thanks Tiger Muffin
The last for our wander in this reserve, a quick find and we were on our way out and onto more caches. SL TFTC
Out for as walk around the park. This was one of 6 in just over an hour.
Easy find. Never knew this existed.
That's what geocaching is about.

On the trail from a couple of close by caches, so thought I might as well go for this one too. Water in the dam today. Just as well that it is fenced off.

Took the hard way into this one - not intentionally mind you! Found and signed log. TFTC Tiger Muffin.
I found this cache a couple of months ago when I went for a walk along the beach. That right, I went for a walk and decided that I would take the long way home via O'Halloran Hill. Nice hide and an even better walk! TFTC.
TFTC TM! A super stash site , enjoyed the walk in and enjoyed the search. Another TM cache I can tick off...
Going for a descent walk we (mattyb_80 and I) started off with a couple of bregor cache's at the beginning of the park. As I had done those mattyb_80 enjoyed the cleaverness of those cache's! Then off to do some Tiger Muffin cache's! This one was great both of us never knew there was even a pond here! Found with ease for a night time cache! Thanks Tiger Muffin! 
Tftc, nice hide, geokids are loving the adventure, no 4 for the day. Cheers team Sheplaw
A quick find with plenty of frogs croaking in the full pond.

Nice stroll through the O'Halloran Hill Park. Expressway busy at 9.00am. Some people must work!!!
Thanks Tiger Muffin for the cache.

No trouble finding this cache once I got to GZ.
My path not recommended for others was some what outside the general guidelines.
I had great fun in my own non conventional assault on this location.
Maybe a little of bit of preparation would have made it a bit easier.
Thanks Tiger Muffin for the cache.
OMG but still smiling...For the record I parked on Majors Road and walked up the bike track.

An enjoyable walk towards the cache but I got wet when I walked back to my car.

We extended our wander from Target. A nice stroll on a lovely night. Misty rain but no wind. The cache was found in the first place we looked. We considered the cache on the other side of the expressway. Sense took over.
Decided to walk over here from the arrow place. Lovely stroll in the misty rain. The temp of my skin was just warm enough to evaporate the mist as it hit the face - perfect conditions. Cache GZ spot on and boy oh boy was it tempting to X the freeway and head to that quarry GZ. My partner did a quick risk assessment and had a chat to me. Perhaps I was slightly hypoxic. Lovely clear skies for the rising teapot.
FTF GOLD 11:15am. A nice hike through the park to find this one. hadn't been in here since i was last working along a near by track two years ago. Co-ords are spot on. thanks for the wonderful walk TNLNSL.
