Unfortunately we have been unable to find a suitable replacement for this cache. In any case we have found that once a cache has been stolen it seems to mean someone is watching it and it will continue to be removed. So regretfully we will archive this cache.
 
07-Jun-23
Unfortunately the cache has been stolen a week after being renewed. It will take a week or two, but we will try to replace it if we can.

Staying on a farm where my mother grew up, having a small get away and getting fresh country air ,we are getting a few more caches in the area. Having tried this one and not finding it we got some help from the Co. At last we have got a smiley face. T.F.T.C

After wandering around W.A. and the West coast for the last 4 months we are slowly making our way home to Adelaide. Staying in Wallaroo to get my beach fix, we are also getting a few more caches around here. We found what we thought to be the cache but no log in it. Thanks Anyway.

This took a little while to work this one out and needed to read a few past posts to confirm we were on the right track. TFTC

Oh my, we looked high and low and then read the logs, needed to be brave with a fast escape plan in case we were wrong about this one. Tftc

I saw it as I pulled up but didn’t pay any attention to it until after I had to tap into previous finders logs to confirm my suspicions. Nicely done and I replaced the ziplock bag
 
24-Jul-22
Chilly weather has returned and storm coming later today so on a mission to clear as many as we can around Kadina with iluvtrekking. Seen a few of this type of hide but it’s well camo’d by vegetation. Thanks for the hide.
 
24-Jul-22
Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

Very well hidden and worthy of a fave point. lA chilly one today but that won't put us off our quest. We have enjoyed our time travelling the YP. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on a geo-guided tour.
 
23-Jul-22
That was probably a poor choice to come here on a Saturday afternoon. No surprise really that the place was full of models.

Today is Good Friday. Public holiday plus fine weather, means go outdoor and geocaching on the way.
Today, I and J plus the little one visited Kadina, Wallaroo, and Moonta. We tried 10 caches on the way, and found 9 of them. It's a good mix of different cache types, including traditional, multi, virtual, letterbox hybrid, and lab adventure.
This is the fifth cache we found today. Selected this one due to hide favourite points.
Parked nearby, and walked to GZ. Found something interesting, and that's the cache.
Log sheets are full. I found a gap to sign. The plastic bag was quite wore out.
Thanks for the cache, Lilysu&Boxer. One favourite point from us!

Thanks LilySu&Boxer for this cache. It is a classic that muggles will ignore, but cachers know exactly whats going on. There was that moment of 'I hope I am right' as the part was removed. It was either going to be total success or run from the scene moment.

Success it was, and the log was signed, a little worse for wear but doable. Thanks for the great cache guys.

Great cache, need to think outside the square! Thanks for your help Smile

Cache has been checked and is in place.
 
23-Jul-21
I intend to check this cache as soon as I can but we are in lockdown at the moment. I checked it recently and it was still there; but I will check again.

I suspect those who have recently not been able to find it may be new to geocaching and have not seen this type of hide as yet.

I am happy for those people to contact me for some extra guidance to help them discover it.
 
23-Jul-21
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

1st things first!
IT IS NOT IN THE BIRDSNEST!
(Sorry little bird for disrupting your nesting!)

I actually spent 1.5 hours looking for this cache! Who would have thought there are so many catchable spots in a tiny patch of shrubs. My gps was off by 2m.

Thanks for the very frustrating cache which drove me insane!
 
12-Feb-21
The cache is still in place.

Although we are no longer active, we still keep an eye on our caches. Just because you can't find a cache doesn't mean it is not there (I had it in my hand this morning).

Perhaps sending a message to the owner might be a good idea to try first before replacing someone's cache. If you don't know what you are looking for, I'm not sure how you could replace it - you could only put your own cache there. Better to put out a cache of your own somewhere.

I applaud your enthusiasm LilliGHass, but it is misplaced in this case.
 
11-Feb-21
Hi everyone! I will be coming back in the next couple of days to replace the cache... I can see that the owner hasn’t been online for a long time, so I would hate to see this geocache be disabled from a lack of maintenance Sad

With Davidwazza previously finding this one the cache was able to be quickly located. Cache and contents are all good

Today With the weather more promising on the yorke peninsula than in Adelaide, Davidwazza and I decided to head over and clean out as much as we could as well as doing quite a bit of beach 4wdriving.
In total 87 finds within 1 DNF for the day.
Thanks for the Cache
 
12-Sep-20
A day trip was planned with Trigger_Fish, AnyMules & Davidwazza to visit the Sad Fisher and some other caches scattered around the top of Yorke Peninsula and the Copper Coast...
It was a full day of caching...getting picked up at 10:00am and arriving back at 11:50pm...
Fun and adventures were had today...

We pulled up just as a person was walking away from the donut van with the last donuts given away for the day...just felt like one of them at this time of day Sad
Anyway...the cache...we wandered around...looking...looking...looking...then noticed a likely cache hide...sure enough I was right...nice work...

Today, the objective was *The Sad Fisher* series on the top of Yorke Peninsula. I first had a few hours to do some solo geocaching, visiting Port Arthur, Clinton and a few other points of interest on the top of Yorke Peninsula's hills. I then caught up with AnyMules, Trigger_Fish, and hevwalker, and we then spent the next 3.5 hr trying to keep motivation whilst power trailling the Sad Fisher. We then headed to Kadina for a late lunch and a few geocache visits, and then on to Wallaroo and nearby North Beach. As it got dark, we headed south-west for some 4WD along some beach tracks, and then back towards Kadina for a fast dinner. Willamulka was our final destination of the day (at least while I was with the group), before I returned back to my car at Kulpara, and made the late night drive home.

This geocache was on my target list due to its high Favourite Point count, and so I managed to persuade the group to make a stop here. There was some construction going on nearby, and I was initially scared that this cache hide may have been impacted, but it was safe and sound out of the way. [@hevwalker](http://coord.info/PRD46RP) made the find here nicely tucked away. It was a hide type that we had all seen before. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I did see a "nest" of those spitting caterpillars on a tree trunk nearby too, which was sort of interesting. Thanks Lilysu&Boxer for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After doing a few circles we narrowed in on something, and luckily it was the cache. No tweezers required.

Thanks for the cache Lilysu&Boxer.

A quick dart over to Kadina from Wallaroo to get my punctured tyre repaired after copping a flat at North Yelta this morning [B)]. I had a bit of time to kill while the repair was done. This one caught my attention with all it's Fave Points so off to it i went [^]

I was looking for a bit then i noticed something i'd seen before. It was CIH quickly after that Wink Nice one for the work, so a Fave Point is added to the growing list Smile

[A Police blitz was on across the road nabbing speeding drivers tch tch, "Obey the Law" it's not rocket science lol Big Grin whilst i was SL at 11:48 on Wed 6 Nov 2019]

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.

Back in Kadina to find a few more caches today.

Searching at GZ for about 10 minutes. Local asked if he could help us. Eventually, moved away by at least 6 metres. Great hide. Fave point. thanks Lilusu&Boxer

I am spending the weekend camping on the Copper Coast to get out of the city and to grab some caches in this as yet unexplored area.

After that long search in the sun, I strangely felt like getting out of the sun and getting a big drink of water. Fav point.

Thanks for the cache.

04-Nov-18
I was travelling from Port Augusta to Ardrossan. With so many caches in between, I decided to leave the choice to the people. Almost all the caches had a reasonable number of favourites, with just a couple of extras in between. 7 years ago I DNFed this one due to a lack of time. Today I hunted around where the GPS pointed but failed to find anything. I branched out more, and eventually found it where my GPS said 10 metres. Maybe it was a bad GPS day. Nicely done with the hiding though!



My thanks to Lilysu&Boxer for the cache.

Another Caching Wednesday for the Puzzled Puzzlers. Today's group of brisal5, S.A. Sewer Rats and Blackadders were once again heading north in search of that elusive smilie. Razz Three weeks earlier I had missed the trip due to injuring my back and had only done a half day since. [B)] This would be a big test. [8)] After several DNF's three weeks ago the others were keen to return with a new set of eyes. We had a full day of laughs and a couple of sprinkles of rain but managed to right a few DNFs but still added a few more before seeing the sun set in Wallaroo and turning for home. We will be back again next week. Cool

I found the coordinates to be a little spurious so spent a few minutes getting up close and personal at the wrong shrub. Red Face Luckily I was previous finders who advised to look over by a different shrub. [^] I guessed the hide as I approached it and was rewarded with a cache. Smile Sneaky hide that I have seen a few times before now.. Still like them so have another FP. [^]
