We checked the fence, large tree and surrounding areas for 20ish minutes but couldn't find it even with the hint! Might need to look again later.
Quite the building. Nawty got to the right angle and saw the box.

A great spot filled with history.
Took longer than it should to locate this cache.
A great evening to be out caching.
Found with 3LG and The X-Trailers.

Found with The X Trailers on holidays here from Qld and earthlight as well, it was a great 4 days with plenty of laughs along the way, this was 5 of 6 found today, the container was in bad shape and the log sheets had seen better days so we have dropped a fresh cache with a new log sheet and have kept hold of the old cache : ) TFTC
Another smiley for us today
Cache a little worse for wear so 3LG has replaced

Found in a sneaky place, in plain sight. The lid broke as I opened it, so it will need a new container.

Homeward bound after a visit to Kangaroo Island and a stop at Victor Harbour we of course did some caching. Magnificent building. There are some hidden treasures off the beaten track. This one was down to Doc. TFTC 
Pagan's folks live quite close by so we were saving this for a daily at some point during our visit. I had actually tried to collect it yesterday but an overeager muggle was watching me very closely so despite spotting the cache, I couldn't retrieve it then. A short walk after lunch today had us at GZ and we quickly added our names. Looks like muggle guardian was out. Thanks Lava12

Initially the hint puzzled us, however as we stood back waiting for the guy on the mower to drive away, the cache became visible. What an interesting history these buildings have. We found during an afternoon's caching, out from Goolwa. We stayed close to the ocean to enjoy the sights and sounds of the boisterous sea.
Our thanks to Lava12 for bringing us here.

We stayed in the caravan park for a couple of days, with Shonky logic, Liz and Bruce, skippy and semik, to do some of the local cache.
A nice spot, but hot in our tent

While staying at Adare we ventured out to find as many caches as we could in the area. Lovely scenery and we enjoyed finding this cache. Thanks to Lava12 for placing this cache.
Thanks to Lava12 for placing this cache.HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM VICTOR HAROR!
Last time we were here it was almost 3 years ago and very different, not totally happy circumstances. This time, rather than to recover we have come to celebrate New Year's.....and for me--grab a few caches.
This cache was one of them. (Published very belatedly because on the 2nd Jan at midnight we received a call to say THE FIRE had done a 360 and was heading straight towards our house! Hans and Mr Teen literally grabbed the keys and drove, leaving the Elf and me behind. They didn't know if they would arrive to a house still standing or even be able to get there. Our house did not get burnt but the next 6 days of the fire were a nightmare! There are 3 wonderful cachers who helped me out with food and solance as we tried to get through this time: Josie, Heidi and Audra and I can't thank them enought and for all the others who cared!

Drove the campervan along the gravel road right next to GZ and this successfully hid our search from the muggle across the road. Mr Beetle stayed in the van in case he had to move it and spotted the hide straight away. He soon directed me to it which was good as I would have been looking for something magnetic. Thanks, an interesting building.
Owl was in Victor Harbor for a concert next door while Hawk was setting up, Owl went for a wander. It completely eluded her as she was looking for a magnetic and the muggles across the road were in their driveway (the 'my GPS is a phone and I am texting' ploy worked). Owl was about to give up when she spotted something that shouldn't be there. She has been on camps in this place a number of times over the years, so thanks for the memories.
Wow! Love all the beautiful old features right up to the balls on top of the spires, just gorgeous. Lucky Uniting Church. TFTC lava12.
Fairly easy find which was lucky given the amount of light we were working with. Would be interesting to see the surrounding buildings during daylight hours.
Found with Donnazev and Orange Unicorn. TFTC.

We are travelling from Wodonga to the Oz Mega. Took a run with Geo kids to grab some caches on a pleasant afternoon. We enjoyed the many different views and variety of cache hides.We made this quick find and was impressed by this lovely castle. TFTC
Staying around the corner on holidays with the family. Saw this and used it as an excuse to drag the kids out for a walk. Quick find with no muggles about. Thanks!
We holiday here every year and have admired this part of the complex for a long time. We enjoyed exploring a new area of what is very familiar to us. Thanks for the cache.

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. [^] [^]
A beautiful old house, I remember when my children came here for school camps.
Found the cache where the previous finder had placed it, but not magnetic. An interesting wall.
Thanks for the cache lava12.

Found it on the ground. It doesn't appear to be magnetic any more. Rehidden on the best spot I could find. Not necessarily a really good hide but it is hidden.
It's a beautiful evening for caching after they had a sweltering time in Adelaide today.
