I checked on this one and the location no longer desirable. So time to go unfortunately.
Thanks to all the finders over the years.

It appears this one has gone missing. Will replace on my return from holiday.
A quick road side stop.
A big day out today with a total of 47 finds, all found all over the place, from Brighton in Adelaide to blanchetown through the Barossa and the back roads. Not the best day to cache with continual rain though.

I've just travelled up Halfway House Rd so I was keen to get this one. Interesting history. TFTC Southern Cross Caching
Finally a beautiful caching day . Love caching with my Sister (Shandyk). Log signed as GuSh.
Finally a beautiful caching day after the heat we have had. Work shift cancelled so teamed up with my Sister (GuzsTravellers) for a day of gathering Smileys. I have found this before, but popped in again to visit while GuzsTravellers claimed a Smiley. TFTC:-)
Found after a day trip fishing at Blanchtown where I caught the largest Carp I have ever seen. It wouldn't even fit in the landing net.
Thank you Southern Cross Caching for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Major roadworks just completed on this intersection. Lucky the trees weren't removed as part of the works. This site has an interesting history. Many a drover would have stopped here whilst the cattle were grazing on crown land nearby and on Accomodation Hill. TFTC. Swapped an item.
Exploring into country after staying in Adelaide for few days.
thanks for the hunting and cache

On my second daily second geocaching run while staying in Blanchetown. today I'll head toward Adelaide for several K's picking up Smileys in the areas on either side of the A 20 Highway. This one was an easy find and is in good nick I quite like the lemoney/peppersmell that stays with you after grubbing around Peppercorn trees. TFTC.

Nice easy find for our 300th find. Nice spot to stop on the way to the river. Thanks for the cache
I had a DNF on this cache in 2013. It's only taken me 4 years to try again and find it this time. TFTC SCC.
Me and Ahomburg have now hit the road on the journey back home. After attending the red centre experience event in Alice springs.
What an amazing trip this has been.
The first stop on the way home was kings Canyon.
Second stop will be Coober Pedy.
Third stop is Woomera.
Forth stop ? Heading for a FTF and staying in a cabin to get out of the bad weather.
Fifth stop. Swan Reach.

After a good nights sleep, lukie1987 and I decided on a bit of a numbers run as we gradually headed towards Adelaide after our road trip from Melbourne to Alice Springs and back was coming to an end. After finishing up the TdF series, we decided to make our way towards Swan Reach where we would camp for the night.
Another fairly quick find along the way here. Truly is some quite well hidden information.
Many thanks to Southern Cross Caching for the cache. TNLN.

Out for a lovely day to cache and have fun.
I was picked up by the lovely feathered Doctor Owl.
We had a lovely stop in Nuri with the resplendent Snappy tom cats.
There was a lot of laughs.
A quick find for us today TFTC

Having acquired a nice new shiny caching stamp, Owl was ready to leave it all over the neighbourhood. Historical caches are always welcome and this one had Owl unsuccessfully imitating a gazelle as she found her way to the cache. (Not necessarily a pretty sight!)
Out in the thongs grabbing caches lol. It always makes me wonder how these trees are found. Nice hide. Tftc
A bit hard to miss this nice big container. It was nice and shady in there as well, perfect for signing log books on a warm day. A beer would have been nice, but this is no longer the pub with no beer, it's the pub with no pub!
Thanks Southern Cross Caching.
Thanks Southern Cross Caching.
Walked around between the two trees for about 10 minutes and didn't find anything
A bit disappointing..

Travelling for work and the phone rang so pulled over to answer it. Stopped and while on the phone looked up the map and guess what, here was a cache. So while answering the questions on the phone, wandered over to GZ, made a quick find, extracted log, signed it and replaced in its hide. wandered back to the car as the call completed and hopped back into the car to continue the journey.

Taking a day trip sight seeing to Renmark and back to Mt. Pleasant, chasing a few caches along the way
It was a "hands and knees" approach to this cache but that gave an advantage as we saw the cache in its hide very quickly. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Southern_Cross_Caching for the cache.
On an adventure of a lifetime, stopped for a cache to break the boredom. This would make a great cubby TFTC
The toughness of pepper trees is amazing. Very little water and care yet they survive. Thanks.
An impromptu dash to South Australia was needed so I could say my goodbyes to my poppy, and I stayed a couple nights with my best friend KBKL. After poppy's service was sorted, we decided a few caches were in order.
Time to drive home and I had decided to get a number of caches en route. Turned a normally 12 hour trip to clost to 20 hours but it was worth it. Managed to get 4 states/territories in 24 hours also
Cache located, signed and replaced.

Went to the suspected tree but were met with human excrement and used toilet paper! I guess there are no public conveniences nearby but wished they'd waited for Truro. I'll come back when it's cleaner!
Have been past this place so many times and never knew what had been here so long ago TFTC.
Found my 100th Geocache! Celebrated by releasing a trackable into the world. We left some bagged swaps and hope that someone can please help 'Yoda' on his journey. TFTC!
Traveling home from Adelaide with Kelligula and geo-teens. This is Kelligula's 100th cache
Headed up the river for the night we decided to get a few caches along the way. I liked this one as I read the history.

Caching after the Camp & Kayak event at Rooka.
We almost missed this one as well! [:0]
Had previously read D&V&L log before retrieving the cache
I then laughed when I found it [^]

I over run our turn off to head home, with clare007, from the event at Roonka today. So glad we did as we collected this cache before turning back...a nice quick find...Thanks Southern Cross Caching
Crawled under the bushes, got frightened by a random bearded dragon who chose this as a spot to take a rest, cache was quickly located, grabbed the cache, then whoosh out come a swarm thankfully they were only blow flies.
