Visited this one recently.
Whilst the wood lot is still there, the fence has been replace... taking with it the sign and the cache attached to the fence....
So there is no longer a reason to visit..
Thanks to the finders over the last 10 years.

Out hunting caches in the Clare region today and this one was next. Parked nearby and started the hunt, looked in the obvious spot first with no luck then spent a few minutes looking around the GZ area with no luck. Checked the hint which proved my initial hunch and had a better look there to find the cache on the ground. Put it back where I think it is supposed to be. Thanks to Huurtle for this one.
 
26-May-19
Found at 10:28 by Olga, who had to really push our muggle friends Juan and Karen to find it.
This was the nearest cache to where we stayed last night, the B&B on Jaeschke's, after going to a concert at the nearby St Aloysius Church last night (and lunch at Paulette's before that).
All in all, a great weekend.
 
25-May-19
We are in Clare camping for the weekend. Not too sure we picked the best weekend for it as we had a shocker of an arvo of weather so it was a low tally day for us. But we thoroughly enjoyed it! We had a late start due to drinking far too much wine last night, but after the crappiest of weeks at work it was needed. So we only found 15 caches for the day but it was was definitely a quality over quantity day. We found some really memorable caches and had a super walk at Spring Gully. We also managed to fit in a trip to Pikes brewery which we loved and ended up with a box of long necks to bring home. We finished off the day with a superb curry at Indii which is in our opinion the best curry house in SA, love it yummy yummy food.
This was one of 8 caches found this afternoon. Luckily the weather wasn't too bad when we got here and it was a quick find and sign in the obvious spot. TFTC Huurtle.

Once again it was time for some members of the Puzzled Puzzlers to head out for a Tuesday Trek. Today it was myself, S.A. Sewer Rats and sushilord and once again the plan was to head northwards towards Clare. [^] But as usual it would be a convoluted route that would enable us to grab a few caches along the way. Cool

Traveling from Mintaro to Clare we called in at Nigel's Trees. Took a little while to find the well hidden cache. Smile

**Thanks Hurtle for this cache. ** Big Grin

Poor Nigel. I can almost picture the whirling slasher blades today and see poor Nigel's face when he realised what he had done. Strangest looking Red Gums I have ever seen. And as someone directionally challenged I sympathise. TFTC

TFTC!

Found it with THE NIGEL and our offspring on a gorgeous spring day. My Nige was thrilled to discover a geocache at his tree lot, that we were unaware of, after all these years.

For those interested here is a link to the story behind the tree lot: http://www.hillriverclareestate.com.au/nigels-tree-lot/

Couldn't find this one and thought perhaps the grader working just along the road had taken it. Mr Beetle jumped out to search and walked straight to it!!! Don't you hate that? But in my defence I was looking for a regular sized container and this certainly wasn't that! Thanks.

Glorious weather made this caching excursion in the Clare Valley most pleasant. Though the food and wine festival was on it did not seem too busy. We met a couple of other geocaching teams and enjoyed having a chat. Nice one, loved the scenery and finding the cache. Thanks to Huurtle.

After completing our 2nd trip around Australia, we are now going up through the center.
Currently camped at Auburn, and drove to Clare to cache around the area.
A good day out, with a variety of hides.
Cache was found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for the hunt today, Huurtle.

All up, at weekend's end, I had 67 smileys Smile and only 2 DNFsSad and somewhere along the way, the magic 5,000th find happened Cool
Drove some fun roads, found some great caches and just generally had a fantastic time geocaching, as usual! Big Grin

We were staying at Polish Hill with approx forty other Kimberley Karavan owners and found and signed this on our way back from Clare.
We drove these back roads without seeing another vehicle and then I look for this and two drive past.
Had to do some pretended bird watching instead.
