Caches deteriorate over time. Life gets busy. Would prefer that Geocacher's don't have too many
below average experiences.
It's time to disable until we can revamp.
Happy for people to check, find and register a smilie if they are inclined

Thanks for the find. Nice and easy but does require a new log sheet as old logs are beginning to fade and no room for new ones. Found with mrbuzzy while out and about seeing Wallaroo.
Day Thirteen of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I visited historic Wallaroo. With a historical buildings map in one hand and a caching map in the other we rode our deadly treadlies around the streets and piers. (That wasn't easy with no hands!)
We needed to stop at lunchtime near the pier, and sort through all the remaining caches to remove those that haven't been found for the last year. Maybe some maintenance needs to be done in this town?
This has been found recently according to the logs, but not by us today!
Thanks, Robmc.

DNF. Day 13 of our SA holiday. Time for Robmc and me to visit historic Wallaroo and see if we can find some caches. Well yes we did, and a few DNF's before we got wise and went to get lunch. Lunch-time was the time to check every potential unfound cache and see whether they were worth visiting or whether they were missing. Well, that narrowed things down a bit. And still we were unsuccessful at some. We must try harder.
The cash is definitely here! It is a little bit worse for wear, and definitely needs more paper – but it is here!
On my phone the coordinates seemed slightly off as it wanted to take me by the car entrance. However I had a quick look at where the clue about the time hinted at-and there it was! Thanks

Away for the long weekend for some much needed C&C&C with SnappyTomCats
(Cache, Coffee, Cake in this case though food)
We got a nice house on North Beach Wallaroo for our base for the weekend. Great spot to watch the storm roll in over the bay. Mother nature is a weird and wonderful creature. After the storms we headed off in various directions in and around wallaroo and nearby tickera to collect some smileys, we had no plan just to cache and relax.
This cache was one of many found during our weekend. Thankyou for placing it for us to find
I do believe that this storm as wreaked some havoc on the caches in the area with a few requiring maintenance.
Over from The Barossa Valley with Travellinbees for a weekend of R&R&C...Out and about on a beautiful day (after the storms) to grab a couple. Clue was somewhat confusing...Understand 24h time but have no idea what the reference to 1900 is in relation to the cache..
On this occassion, I am doing a generic log. I have travelled from Queensland to meet up with Muff1 for a Geocaching extravaganza on the beautiful Yorke Peninsular.
Our goal to Cache, Cache and Cache. Each day our "finds" have been growing in number, some days more productive then others. Repairs and replacement of broken containers, new log books and adding a new plastic bag here and there have all been part of the fun we have been having.
We have also been careful to take time to appreciate the natural wonder of the areas we have visited. The variety of caches was interesting, some very clever, some the quick grab they were designed to be.
My sincere thanks to Muff1 for providing me with the opportunity to join them on this geocaching holiday.
A big thank you to all of the dedicated Cache placers who have made this possible.

It is all your fault, we cannot get the song out of ourheads and with four people in the car when one finally stoppes another starts again.
First we must appologise for the generic logs.
We came to Yorke Peninsular with Speedmistress who hails from Queensland to cache our little hearts out and this we are doing.
We solved loads of puzzles prior to coming and with all the earth, multi, trads and puzzles there are here we were never lacking in variety.
When we found caches that needed repair we have done our best to do what was possible, unfortunately we have now rum out of spare containers, so no more repairs can be done. We have enjoyed the scenery, the walks, the animal life and the challenges that was encountered while traveling the Peninsular. Not all the caches have been attempted due to time restraints but those have been earmarked for future visits.
We also would like to thank Speedmistress for supplying our geocaching chariot.
A huge thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches for us to enjoy.

Over 12 months ago we went to do this cache Way back on the 6/4/2014 but when we read the logs on this cache and found it had issues with the Garden area being trimmed slightly and now was finally the time we returned o pick this one up. Easy find TFTC

[Teal] As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here and the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.
I quickly jumped the car to claim this one before Dad
Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

The rare weekend without kids meant we could do a little caching again Thankyou
Found with some muggle friends who we were introducing to the joys of geocaching. We arrived at GZ shortly before 7pm and spent some time casually strolling up and down the footpath while we waited for some nearby muggles who had just pulled up in their car behind us to move on. As time went by more and more cars pulled up on the street and it became clear that we turned up just before the start of a Saturday evening church service. We debated giving up on this one but the kids were determined to make the find. As it turned out, no one gave us a second glance as the 4 of us casually clustered around GZ as if we were having a chat and geomum surreptiously reached in for the find. TFTC
