Had a good look. Moved lots of bark. Duh around the tree that’s remaining after it looks like others have been removed. No cache to be seen. Couldn’t miss the fish though.

Looks like some of the trees at GZ and the surrounding cover (including the cache camo) have been removed.

Found by Mary & David, in company with pprass (signed as m & p), at 1705. Nothing quite as sad as a beached ship. Impressive information boards nearby. Pleased to see all the Defence Force Cadet facilities. Our second day on the FTF PT, and we had better results than yesterday. Our thanks to Moneydork.

Found at 5:03 PM in the company of maccamob. We signed the log book as "M & P".
We remember coming here in 2011 doing a cache nearby that took a bit of time to find. Today we found the replacement very easily and wondered how on earth it has survived in such a place!
Thanks Moneydork.

Day sixty eight of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
A short stop over at Whyalla for the Cuttlefish!
Spent the morning up at Stony Point and cached our way back home.
Our first for the morning. We dropped in here to get instructions about the cuttlefish from the Visitors Centre (they were very helpful)
Grabbed the cache while we were here.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 8369. We planned to come to Whyalla on our return trip specifically to swim with the cuttlefish and today was the day!!!! Rather cloudy and cold but after much discussion we finally donned our full suits and took the snorkels and fins and braved the water at Stony Point. It was worth every cold minute to see these wonderful creatures up close and personal. I definitely hope to do it again. After this experience it was on to caching....

This was our first cache for the day as we gathered the information for our trip to Cuttlefish Drive. A quick find while Rob disappeared inside. The HMAS Wyalla will have to wait for another visit.

Thanks Moneydork
