I have had trouble with kids with this one. Ill check it soon and see what happens.
Have looked for this one a couple of times and searched all over the structure, but couldn't find a cache. Read through all the logs but it still didn't help!
Don't know if it is cache blindness or the cache has gone missing. [?]
Thanks Uncle Hagrid.

Team Crackers and I met up with The Drovers and Konie in Bordertown yesterday as we all head to the YP as one over the next few days. Today we cached around the Mannum area with quite a few trads, puzzles, multi's and earthcaches found and logged, around 170 all up for the day. An assault on a number of series was the main focus on the day. The log books now carry the acronym CDKM or a derivative of that, depending on whether a team member had found the cache on a previous occasion.
Thanks Uncle Hagrid for placing this cache.

Out and about caching with Team Crackers, The Drovers and Micaparamedic while in the Mannum area and we headed off to cache the surrounding areas and do some power trails. We found a variety of different caches and this was one of them.
We signed the log as CDKM and all were returned as found.

4573. Found with Relish64 and the muggle cousins while doing the tourist thing and checking out Mannum.
A nice quick find after looking in the wrong places for a bit. Previous log helped heaps.

Container changed.
I caught a few kids with the old cache. Gave them a quick talk about caching but i dont think this will now last.

#2593 - Found by Bruce after quite a bit of hunting.
The cache container needs replacing pretty badly.

the highest peak in each state and territory while finding geocaches along the way..

Container broken and log book has been added to with loose pages from notepads. Needs new container and new log.
Found it with no muggles around apart from some of the local bar flies from the pub watching the lightening show which was fantastic, so they weren't interested in what I was doing. Thanks for the cache.
Container is broken and falling apart and people have been adding loose pages as a log so I will post a needs maintenance post.

A quick find whilst checking out the interesting formation nearby :c) The container is cracked and no longer water tight. SLTNLN. TFTC Uncle Hagrid!!
Not quite what I was expecting but then that is always part of the fun. Many thanks for placing and maintaining these caches. TNLN SL
Found it. Someone put it up real high. Had to use stick to get it down. Box broken. Please fix box.
Found it! Left a TB that wants to travel (perhaps back to Southern California). TFTC!
Nice easy find. Glad my height wasn't an issue as there was a way to get up. Tftc
Got to this spot hoping to beat any early muggles, but alas, one old gentleman was patiently waiting for his wife. So I sat and waited too! Eventually the coast was clear, so I made the find as quick as. Thanks for this cache .
Quickly spotted but then had to wait for a steady stream of muggles to leave.
Thank goodness the tall team members were present today!
Container and contents in good condition.
TNLNSL TFTC Uncle Hagrid!

A quick find on the way to the Alien Rock Earthcache at Mannum Falls. It was a little wet this morning, but not going to deter me from my geocaching goals today. Thanks for the cache.

On caching day at Mannum. Nice holiday weather. Lots of muggles though. Had to wait for right time to look etc. Tftc
Found during a diversion on my way to the mallee for the day, calling in to find some caches around Mannum. Enjoyed the stop to read the history of this heavy-duty machinery. Thanks for the cache Uncle Hagrid!
No danger with fingers, Owl just had to outwait a muggle - after which Brisal5 got sick of waiting and just handed her the cache!
Flying Solo today but just enough time to find a few caches. This was a nice easy one on an interesting piece of equipment. TFTC
No damage done to fingers here today. The cache is in good condition. SL. TFTC
While getting some supplies for our houseboat trip, we quickly found this.
We liked the different use of a sistema container. Well done.

We had just started to size this location up when we found the cache almost by accident. You have to be lucky sometimes! It's a decent size anyway - thanks Uncle Hagrid.
Found while on a camping trip over Easter. Our first visit to Mannum, a lovely town and beautiful weather.A very enjoyable time, finding a few caches added to the fun. Thanks for the hide.
Visited this famous spot with my cachemate ead84 during our Holidays in Australia.
One grab and a find here

After visiting our grand-daughter in Adelaide for a week (also her mother and father), we started the trip home by taking many deviations along the way, this trip north of Mannum being one. Although it was quite hot, it was still a pleasant way to spend Sunday afternoon.
Again despite very accurate coordinates, it still took us a few minutes before we had this well hidden cache in hand. The cache and contents were in good condition apart from the logbook which was full - we left an additional replacement. Thanks for the cache Uncle Hagrid

Great hiding place. Almost gave up. Beautiful day. Lovely lunch at Mannum Cafe.
A quick find by the tall member of the team. Noone much about this afternoon which made it easier. Took the TB to further it's journey. TFTC
Unable to retrieve cache, too many muggles and cars around. Interesting piece of history though. Thanks for bringing me here.
Found while trying to catch up with some holiday makers. Interesting spot to stop. Tftc
We spent a while looking down low which we didn't come out with a find. Thought a bit harder. Looked up and there it was. Tftc!
First find for the year! Took nothing, left card. Tftc and the lunch recommendation!
Found it pretty easy, had to watch out for muggles though, kept reading the plaque , Found TB. Will take good care of it and help send it on its way TFTC
Found in the last possible spot to check. Though I could have sworn I had already checked there. TFTC Uncle Hagrid.
Found it. First find for Uncle Stuart. Visiting from Tassie and stopped off after our houseboat cruise. Tftc.
