This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Log book is mush from being wet. Maintenance is recommended. Maybe the next person to find could put in a new log book in a plastic bag. It is my experience that this type of container is not at all water proof.

CACHE LOG IS VERY WET. Managed to pry it open and put my mark. Needs a new log book.

Last time I visited this cache I, along with my Grandson, retreated quickly to the car and sped on our way. Mr Joe Blake was on the rails and NO WAY was I going looking for a cache. This time however Mr Blake was nowhere to be seen. However as I was about to look for the cache a lovely lady in a ute with her 2 dogs came by to see if I was ok. Was a splendid time spent with her explaining I was taking a photo of the Canola crop and marvelling at the smell of the crop. As she went on her way, another ute approached. I waved merrily and took my photo. Then it was down to business.

Muff1 had supplied me with a "better set of coordinates" and the cache was quickly found, signed and replaced.

Thank you Biggo for placing this cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1450. This one took a while. Very interesting little trio of caches. Hard to imagine how busy this line might have been with passengers and freight for the communities along the way. Our thanks to Biggo.

Found with e.gregory1 during a detour to Mundulla on our way to Little Desert NP to tackle the 'This is SA' series. Thanks for the cache Biggo!

Found en route to the Border Track. This one took a bit of searching, but eventually located. Logbook is a bit wet. Thanks Biggo for the cache.

We searched and searched before widening our search radius and finding the cache about 14 meters from where the GPSr said we should be looking.

AnyMules, Tomboy, SnapHappy and I decided to go for a wee drive and have a day of caching. We all met near Murray Bridge and decided to tackle some of CPs caches. As we had 4WDs and it was such a lovely day we decided to head into Mexico to find the This is SA series (something we had been talking about for a while) as well as some others. We had a great day with lots of fun and laughter. After looking In all re wrong places, SnapHappy finally had the cache in hand TFTC 10/12/2016 4:05 pm

Done with Snap Happy, AnyMules and KiwiOzzie while out caching in Murray Bridge. At about midday we all decided to slip over the Border and clean up some long desired caches.As with other finders, the coords were out by about 10m. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. Cheers Tomboy

A lovely day for some caching in the area with KiwiOzzie, Tomboy and SnapHappy.

Found a while back with friends before we had our own account. Thanks

When we arrived at this location, we quickly identified GZ but not the cache. We gradually increased our search area and eventually found the cache about 8m from where our GPS thought that GZ was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Biggo for the cache.

Out and about on a Wimmera expedition with Quasar3671 and the boys, Timmo98 and Bentley. Weather was real hot but not a scorcher. Love this part of Victoria with its vast beauty and diversity.

Local yelled out 'good luck!' We needed it!

This cache was found during a weekend adventure of caching, exploring and 4WD'ving with my two boys. We spent much of the weekend in and around the Little Desert National Park where we had an absolute ball. Today we teamed up with Jacko83 and Timmo98, meeting them just out of Dimboola before heading into the desert where our main goal for the day was to do the 'This is SA' series of puzzle caches. The weather was perfect and was nice and warm all day, with hardly a cloud in the sky.

As we made our way out of the LDNP towards Wolseley, we stopped along the way to find this cache. It took a little bit of searching but we got there in the end. A local even called out 'Good luck' as we searched and they sped past. Thanks Biggo for the hide.

Caching around the Wimmera and Upper South East with Beaker.
We totalled 94 caches over 670 km in 28 hours.
Found another in this series quick find
TFTC!!

This cache was found as part of a 28 hour caching odyssey around the Wimmera and Upper South East with TT016. A total of 670 km was covered in the trusty old GQ Patrol on the way to 93 cache finds. Caches collected included the Rusty Rail Series and This is SA puzzles, which were all found at night!

Another one of the Rusty Rails crossed off... can't be too more left can there?? An easy, straightforward find.

Took a few minutes but got it in the end.

Found on my way home (south) after the Magical Mundulla JLWE. Took a little while to find it, but eventually came up with the goods. Logged a tad late - 18/7/16. Thanks Biggo

Found in the dark with Locus Cache after attending the JLWE at Mundulla. TFTC.

I found this cache whist in the upper South East for the June Long Weekend cache event.
This one proved a little challenging, though we eventually found it.

Past this spot a few times over the weekend but managed the find as well.

Sorry for the late log I have fallen a bit behind in logging.

TFTC Biggo

Found during an awesome JLWE in Mundulla. A few of us ventured into VIC to grab the nearby T5 cache. Grabbed this one as we drove by. Took us a couple of minutes but found the little sucker. TFTC

A quick find with DeltaDucks while attending the JLWE. TFTC

We woke to a beautiful morning in Mundulla so time to do a few caches and go do some hiding too, with TheKellyGang with a section of the McKee clan. A big day but a enjoyable day with Great company. TFTC

Found It!
I think we ended up driving past this cache four times today. We found it on the first pass with about 10 of us looking...

We woke to a beautiful morning in Mundulla so time to do a few caches and go do some hiding too, with Squash99 with a section of the McKee clan to keep Squash99 company. A big day but a enjoyable day with Great company. TFTC

After the flashmob in Bordertown for the JLWE firesafe, TheKellyGang, Laighside Legends, Squash 99 and one of the McKee Clan as well as Brodie, muggle partner and I set out to get a couple of caches in the Little Desert park.

We stopped here and made a not so quick find... think about the cache name rather than using the GPSr.
I once travelled on this railway line to Mount Gambier to see the Easter weekend road races at Macnamara Park.
Yes, I am that old

3670 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1320 on our way to the BigLittleEvent2 in Naracoorte SA. Well for a 1 1/2x1 1/2 this took quite some time to find. Like a lot of the previous finders the co-ords are some metres off gz but not impossible. SL Tnx Biggo

Camped at Mundabilla today was extremely windy. We were worried in case any branches fell on our 'house'.

We took a quick trip down to Cockatoo Lake checkingout possible campsites as we explored the local area.

Some amazing history and some great towns investigated in the 100km/hr winds.Enough to blow us over.

Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

Were looking looking looking - opps snake - we are outta here. Will return another day.

We went looking and looking and not a sign of cache was to be found at or near GZ. The search area was widen systematically and we found the cache. We have included the co-ords that worked for us, as upon returning home we see many caches have had the same problem we had. SL TFTC

Sneaky hide Geohusband found after short search TFTC

Found @ 6:00pm on the way back to Serviceton after enjoying some geocaching fun around Bordertown.
Searched for awhile without any luck and then recieved some help by reading Ian's log and trying another set of co-ords which lead me to the hide spot.
TFTC

There is very little infrastructure, if any left at Custon [:o]
The Custon Conservation Park is just across the road.
And that is about all there is to see here !!

As for the cache, well after checking a few 'obvious places' and finding nothing,
I went with the cache name and found the container in the next place I poked
The coords do seem to be about six metres out, if that helps anyone !!

TFTC

Anyone got any more hints?I can not see this one anywhere

GPS slightly off but eventually found it. Well hidden biggo. Tftc

no luck today

Gps had me all over the place but I wasn't giving up on this one (Too far from home)
Finally gotcha!
TFTC Biggo

Went looking with Pigeon Pair but to no avail. Might have to go have another look sometime

Edit.. was on 2 different smartphones and both were jumping around locations. so will be back

Located in the company of PJ & BJ.

brisal5 indicated that he had to make a trip to Naracoorte, and as the Aussies were available we decided to turn it into a caching trip to clean up some of the caches along this route. Of course when we three get together anything can happen so it was no surprise to find the trip extended to seek out certain caches and we even briefly crossed the border. A fantastic day, although a little tiring.

Unfortunately this one also has inaccurate coordinates which had us fruitlessly searching for some time. Thankfully not as long this time as Mr M decided to ignore the GPS and just try searching in the more obvious location. Found about 12m away.

This was the last of this series that we attempted today.

TFTC Biggo.

The geomobile was going to Naracoorte for a service. I decided I would turn the journey in a caching day. Aussie M&M were available so came along for the caching / ride. A slight detour into Victoria on the way home and fun day was had by all.

After my recent successes I walked straight up to GZ to find nothing, nix, nada, zilch. I tried channelling to no avail. Meanwhile Mr. M walked away and found the cache. Thanks Biggo. That's now 8 done with only 3 left.

Grabbing a couple of caches as I pass by, thanks.

Searched afar before returning for a closer-in search and a quick find. TFTC.

Couldnt find it with listed coords, couldnt find it with Sushilords coords.
Still found it eventually.
Enclosing coords I took, may or may not help.
Thanks

I phoned a friend for help with this one, but really found it by myself, he couldn't remember it
Thanks

This was our last morning caching in Bendigo before making our way back to Adelaide via Horsham and Francis caching along the way. Wasnt a bad total with 45 finds for the day. Could have been more but had some trouble early with DNF's on micros.

These are always hard in the dark but came up with it eventually. TFTC.

On a 4x4 weekend away with firesafe
with night fallen made this harder than it needed to be

Found it after a bit of search...
Thanks Biggo for bring me here and cache

After having a fantastic time at the Oz Mega event we had to drop the youngest team member back in Melbourne as she had to return to work today but we are fortunate enough to have the rest of the week off and as the camper was already hooked up it seemed silly not to just keep going picking up a few more caches along the way.
This was our third and last in this series today. There wasn't much at all left of this one, in fact you wouldn't even know that there had been a siding here. The farmer we were talking to back at Geegeela remembers the last big wheat stacks back in 1963 and he thinks that the siding burnt down not long after that. The cache took a little while to find, we ended up using sushilords co-ords.
Our thanks to Biggo for an interesting series, we will return to finish it another day.

couldn't find this one, must write down the other coordinates given and try again another time. Disappointed.

I thought I'd finished the series some time ago and this one popped up. Love the series. Clear skies!

Took a while find the cache. We used the raw fish kings coords in the end.

Pipped at the post silver for us today, found coords a bit out but found after expanding the search, great series TFTC

The first of three FTF for the day. I was surprised that these caches had remained unfound for so long. Coords were 12m out, but the cache was found once the search area was expanded. We weren't giving up on this one.

Thanks for the cache Biggo.
