Quick find but the inside is all wet and everything inside is basically destroyed
Im heading down the hill via the Sturt Valley for a change, and this was the first unfound cache close to the main road that I encountered. It feels like it hasnt rained for months, Im desperate for rain at home, yet sadly this cache is very wet inside with the log books soaked. Im glad that there was an explanation for the caches name; I hadnt even noticed the wreckers. Tunnel vision caching. Thanks for the hide misterdrewkittytoo.
May The Fourth be with you! Found on a beautiful afternoon drive home from a friend's house. A bit wet inside but was able to sign a log. TFTC!
Found it, unable to log find due to water in container and all log books waterlogged .photo taken if required
Everything, I mean everything, in this container is drenchedNeeds some TLCTFTC
This cache desperately needs some TLC from the COEverything in the container is drenched, logs cant be signed
Quick park and grab. Lots of rainwater inside the box and everything needs a little TLC. TFTC.
This one was vary wet from the weather and you can’t write your name in it but it is still ok
Found it very easy to found might need replacing as everything in side is soaking wet
Out for a caching run with the geohubby today, this one is our fourth for the day. Wrecked is an appropriate name for this cache as the contents inside are wrecked. Water has gotten into the cache and the log protection bags have been left open so the logs are water damaged. We placed a new piece of paper in a new ziplock bag however recommending that this has an owner clean out with a new log and waterproof protection added in. TFTC
Found with NiciDanielle. "Wrecked", is an ironically apt name for this cache as the multiple logs in here were all saturated. Cache needs some TLC and silica packs! Easy find however and another gorgeous spot in the Adelaide Hills. It wpuld be interesting to see exactly where the Sturt river actually starts from, seeing as we live near the gorge and all. TFTC
Cache is drenched but as the log book is water proof sill signed our names.
Today after an event at Cafe de Villis we headed to Belair National Park to complete one of the new lab caches before making our way to Beerenberg for strawberry picking but this couldn't be done before a short walk around Mount Barker for a few caches.
Thanks for the cache

The cache is really damp inside. I can't see any reason why it's so wet, no cracks?? You would get really wrecked if you walk about 7 meters further away off a cliff.
Thanks Misterdrewkittytoo for the hide.

A nice early Spring day grabbing a few caches around Heathfield, Longwood, Ironbank and Scott Creek. Spent some time in the beautiful Mark Oliphant Conservation Park too
A neighbour from the house above on the hill gave us a friendly wave as we returned to the car
Many thanks for the cache misterdrewkittytoo

Driving home in a lovely Sunday I decided to try and find some of the caches on my way. This one is an easy find in a rather pretty area. Needs a new logbook as the current one is soaked.
A fun afternoon exploring the neighbourhood with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX)
This afternoon, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I were headed up to Stirling to check out a few open houses... perhaps wishful thinking, but it did allow a few geocaches to be found on a nice day.
At this particular location, I had lost data coverage, and so was largely going off the coordinates and not much other information. After some looking around and admiring the neighbouring view, the container appeared to show some of itself. It wasn't too hard after all. The new logbook in the plastic container appeared to be reasonably dry, and otherwise no issues. Thanks misterdrewkittytoo for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Aac tried to dry it out a bit... log dry. Thanks for the cache. Visiting during the tour down under cycling events.
Found it....it really needs maintenance as it is very dirty and wet. If ok with cache owner, I live not far from here and will dry it out and replace
LiB & I were making our way home, the long way, collecting a few caches along the route...
The evening had set in so torchlight was needed...
A nice quick find tonight...

Cache and log book wet. I added a new dry bag and log sheet. Beautiful country drive in a crisp Sunday TFTC
On a spur of the moment trip to Tailem Bend to have a bit of caching fun.
The main reason for this trip was to finish off a multi that I started awhile ago and since I was in the area I picked up this one on the way back.
Very narrow roads around here and luckily I didn’t meet anybody coming the other way
Thanks misterdrewkittytoo TFTC.

Cache is soaked and everything is either brown or rusty
Sorry I didn’t have a spare container and logbook on this road trip

This one was quickly found the log is yucky and all the trinkets/swaps inside are feral soaked and stink. Definitely needs some CO TLC TFTC now where is the hand sanitizer?!
Adelaide trip August 2018. I started the drive home to Canberra today and was very wet. I got this one as it was nice and close to the roadside.
Thanks.

Out on a geo weekend with mini booger boy and the booger cousins. Nice easy find. Nice drive on the way. Did some well needed cache maintenance with new log and a swap. TFTF.
Found cache in v poor condition. Unable to write in soaked mouldy log book. No replacement handy either.
Cache is in place but it is soaked right thru. The log was unsignable and the contents ruined
a quick find while officalling in the rally nearby. found before the rain set in. log and container were soaked
A quick find, but the cache was full of water and the log was soaked. Managed to just scrawl the date and my name on the page. Needs maintenance.
Very pretty area though.

I left no evidence of my visit to this cache as I couldn't sign but yes, the cache was a wrecked as the cars. I did enjoy checking out the other side down the hill ... a very picturesque property on the creek.
Out and about in the hills on a perfect sunny Easter weekend 2017, nabbing some solved puzzles, I pulled up to grab this one on my way through [^]. As mentioned the log is wet through [:o] I left a card with my details of the find on it. SL at 13:24 on Sat 15 April, 2017 TN TFTC misterdrewkittytoo
The log is saturated and needs replacing. Sorry we didn't have anything with us.
Out for the afternoon with Mr and Mrs 3LG driving around Blackwood and Upper Sturt grabbing caches along the way. It was fun weaving in and out of all the windy streets and roads. [^]
A quick find here, thanks for the cache misterdrewkittytoo.

Today we set off to clean up a few off the southern caches and managed quite a few finds and also a lot of DNFs (15) so was both a good and bad day lol. TFTC
An easy find, however log was saturated! Had to empty water out of container before we could even get log book out TFTC 23/10/2016 11:00 am Find #1572
