After searching all under the boardwalk and nope not anywhere under there expanded our search and not in the bushes either hope it's still there
Looked everywhere for around 15 minutes and came to the conclusion it was muggled months ago. No disrespect intended but this cache needs immediate checking on and maintenance by the owner, or it should be temporarily disabled until that occurs.

Found a couple of items that we thought could have come out of the cache but no sign of the container or a log book. Needs to be checked. Thanks.
Decided to have a day caching at and around Victor Harbor so Ismartis and I headed down in the morning with a list of caches that we hoped to get. After a great day we ended up with 55 smileys and 3 DNF's with Ismartis grabbing an extra one on the way home. [^] [^]
Did not know this boardwalk was here and we looked everywhere along both sides around GZ and beyond. Luckily we only met one muggle who was passing through as it would have been a real sight seeing these two women down on hands and knees crawling along the sides of the boardwalk.
We did find a guitar pick and a card similar to ones I had seen in other caches so after searching every conceivable hiding spot and knowing what sort of container we were looking for, we came to the conclusion that this one has been muggled.
Thanks for the cache spuddymoore and for bringing me here. I think it needs checking out. [?]

Looked in the wrong spots and were almost about to give up when we spotted it. Lovely and quiet down here.
Pretty quick find on the trail walk up to Port Elliot. Good day for a long walk, cool, a little rain and a little wind but not all at the same time ... some sun too! Signed log, thanks for the cache!!!

Didnt Find It... Again. I Dont Know How So Many Others Have Found It An "quick find" or "easy find". we just cant find it. we will be back. third time lucky i suppose
Back to Victor for my annual visit. Great trip with geolze, and fantastic catchup with victorgrs3 (geogeoff). First cache of the trip, first of 9. Freezing but gorgeous blue sky. TFTC
Found this one after a day on the beach. 10 days into winter and kids spent the arvo swimming and boogie boarding. Gotta love Australia !! Decided to see if any caches nearby, and sure enough, here was one, only 200 metres away ! Located easily, but alas we had no writing implement due to beach trip, and there was none in the cache. Not signed, but found ! Managed to be there right as the Cockle-train went past as well, all very exciting ( and loud)...TFTC.
Being American this container was new to me on arrival to Australia. However, That's the biggestof that style container I've seen! Thanks spuddymoore.
Found by Mr & Mrs M-SEZ on a kid free anniversary getaway. We spent 2 days in the Victor Harbor area and stayed the night at the McCracken country club. Although we've been to this beautiful area many times before, it's the first time we've cached here.
This one was quick to find, but harder to retrieve between passing muggles. TFTC

Found with Sully1 on our way to Victor Harbour for a couple of more days in this cache rich state.
This was a terrific trip with great weather and friendly welcoming cachers to meet and greet.
A huge variety of hides had us on our toes, and a huge thanks to all the local cachers who provided the fun for us. Thanks again spuddymoore, we did a lot of your hides today

Found with bogonghazy after Semiks Birthday Event at Normanville and heading to Victor Harbour on the way home. Thanks to spuddymoore for the cache.
I was a bit worried that my iPhone might have me wandering all over the place, but it settled quite quickly and I spotted the prize.
Just as I picked it up a Muggle appeared coming from the beach with his dog. My philosophy is to use stealth by being bleeding obvious, so I didn't try to hide what I was doing. The fellow took a couple of steps past me, then stopped and decided to ask. He probably regretted that, because I went into my passionate propaganda session of how great Geocaching is, and that he should check it out ... Maybe a future cacher????
Another date crossed off the caching calender.

day out With Firesafe CP and Locus cache Having a lot of laughs and a good time
did tis from the top of the hill

This was another case of a full on day caching!
I was out with the boys: firesafe, CP Wanderer and Honeysucker and had the luxury of driving a Prado with free diesel for the day, thanks to a friend of mine [^]
Somehow, though, Prado got interpreted as Tarago by our usually extremely competent navigator and so we mainly did urban caches rather than rural ones where the vehicle's potential could have been more full utilised but it was still a hugely fun day and all up I attempted to locus cache at 95 caches: 89 successfully and 6 DNFs
Thank you, gentlemen, for the company and laughs and huge congratulations to firesafe on his 10,000th cache [^] [^] .....which just happened to require a 23km fast run from Aldinga to Mt Compass for the FTF (and our 2nd FTF for the day [^] ). Belated congratulations to Honeysucker, too, for his 6,000th find [^]
Another quickish find in the dark, thanks to a great torch

Today I teamed up with Honeysucker, Locus Cache and CP Wanderer for a 16 hour caching day caching areas south of Adelaide finishing up in Victor Harbor around 2:30 am.
We hit around 100 caches on the day, even making 2 FTF runs (one in Aberfoyle Park from Hallet Cove and the other at Mt Compass from Aldinga). The second FTF coincided with my 10000 find.
Quick find and sign. TFTC.

Out for a day of caching with Aussie M & M and brisal5. We had many laughs, mainly at ourselves. Sadly also got a bit too much sun...ouch.
Such a beautiful part of SA.
Thanks

Out with Mogni and Aussie M&M for the proverbial day trip to Victor. Nice container. Quick find. Took the trackable out and visited some others. Thanks spuddymoore
You can park there Mark, no it is a bus spot, so he moved his car and what the??? Another car parked and they weren't even cachers. Mogni and Brian made the find, the stairs were too much for an injured M & M, but they held up the hide and Aussie Mary identified it immediately. TFTC.
Up early to beat the heat and to get a cache before the family stirred. Had to wait as a dog muggle cleaned up his pet mess!! Quick find and swapped a TB. TFTC SL
Different container, wonder where you got it swapped over the trackables and we were on our way first one for 2013! Woo! tftc!
Found It!
Strangly there was no-one around today so it was an easy find...

Enjoyed riding around town finding these hidden treasures. We camped at the Castle for a couple of days and took in some of the attractions.

My third boardwalk for the day and my second estuary. Well, the same estuary but in a different spot. Had more luck finding this one though. Tk TB. TFTC spuddymoore.
Nice spot here on the boardwalk, though initially overshot the mark substantially ... Silly phone. Tftc!
Today was a quiet caching day after doing a couple of power trails yesterday. I set a destination in Tom Tom and did any caches I noticed along the way.
Very quick find. My thanks to spuddymoore for this cache.

Found it with the First Ingle Farm Joey group while on group camp. Had a fantastic weekend but can't wait to go home for a rest!!! TFTC SL.
Arrived in Victor Harbor last night after four days out on Kangaroo Island.
This was to our fifth find today and in another interesting location but we did not have time to investigate to far as we had some shopping to do and get ready to go out for dinner.
Thanks again spuddymoore for placing another cache for others to find.

My last find on our Port Elliott holiday weekend - heading to Victor harbour for an ice cream before back to the Adelaide hills. Picked an almost drive by cache to appease Mr Greenshoots who'd had enough of caching today, as I had a TB that needed to be dropped off in Victor Harbour. Sam the soldier has reached his destination - glad to have helped him on his way. Unfortunately he has already been grabbed by the time I made this log, so I hope the owners decide on a new mission soon. Nice easy cache, the walk looks great, will have to return and explore it further.
celebrating OUR 500th.!!! with a 'special little person' ... luv caching in this area...great hides and views.! TFTC
A nice stroll into GZ and even though the rain had ceased there was no ne around. All the same a quick find of a good hide was made, thanks once more(!) spuddymore.
Very clever hiding spot, great container!! Lil Geoman (5) was very excited with the swap, thankyou!
We had to make a short trip to Victor Harbour today so we decided to turn it into a long one and find some caches, this one included. TFTC SL
A day out caching with shellybobbob, the cacheahloic and the ford-st Clair clan!!! TFTF!!!
after 20 minutes of searching we gave up on this one, we were getting hungry
Found it while visiting Victor Harbor with the friends. Loved the board walk in the estuary,TFTC!
Found with Team Waldron as part of a caching trip down south. Glad we found it as we were thinking we had lost our touch. TFTC
A nice quick find.
We were beginning to doubt ourselves as the last few had taken us a while.

Had to wait for a group of school kids to move along the boardwalk, but then I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC spuddymoore
