Staying in Victor Harbour for a few days so my information was a bit old and I had not seen recent logs. Found the log book as others had done. When I came to log this cache I realised that the cache had been archived. On a trip back into town I collected the log book and will send to CO if desired (can you please let me know if you would like the log book sent). The log is intact and in good order. The school house was interesting and the cache was enjoyed by us and many others on our trip to Victor Harbour. Thanks for placing this cache Finderfelix.

Out & about with hevwalker caching after the Seaside Event at Horseshoe Bay.
Having completed the nearby caches along the coach we decided to target Granite Island.
Stopping at the nearby Fish & Chip shop, we then wandered to some nearby caches.
We found the log & pencil lying on the ground in the corner missing a cache.
We placed it out of plain sight, unfortunately we didn't carry a spare on us from the car.
Thanks for the hide, a lovely garden Finderfelix

Two Norwegian travellers on vacation/geocaching in Australia. Travelling by car from Brisbane to Adelaide with stops in interesting and not so interesting places.
Until now: Coolum Beach - Kilcoy, Stanthorpe, Byron Bay, Port Macquire, Nelson Bay, Hunter Valley, Wagga Wagga, Beechworth and Melbourne.
After Melbourne we are moving slowly westward and will stop at villages and small towns along the coast.
Anglesea, Lorne, Apollo Bay, Warrnambool, Naracoorte, Meningie.
Yesterday we arrived Victor Harbour after logging some caches on our way.
Today is Remembrance Day and after watching the seremony at 11 o'clock we went into town to log some caches. Tall Ana reached up to grab the cache.

We came to this one in search of trackables. Apparently had 3, but ended up with none. The cache is a good hide. Lucky we are both above 6'0 or we'd have a tough time getting hands on this Smile

We went to look for this cache after tea. Despite accurate coordinates, it took a while to locate the cache in a good hide. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Finderfelix for the cache.
 
14-Aug-16
We had tried this one a long time ago but it definitely wasn't here back then. Today we saw it as we walked up to it so it was a really easy find that we definitely wouldn't have missed if it was in that spot last time. TFTC

Good spot!

Red Face After finding the cache I was on my hands and knees with Apty picking up the swag LOL Turned to Apty (who always has a pen) and held my hand out for it... nope... hehe good thing one of the recently spilled insides was a pencil. Signed, gave a passing muggle a cheesy grin, and thought about how glad I was he hadn't come across us 5 mins beforehand. TFTC Finderfelix Big Grin

Being new to caching, it always cracks me up the amount of times I've walked past caches, not knowing they existed. This was one of those times, I had a proper cackle when my eyes fell on it!!

Great hide, TFTC!!

Hi there Finderfelix.

We found your cache **"Grosvenor Gardens"** at 12:58:00 PM today.
This was our 6th cache find in a caching run of 10 Finds & 1 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 12792.)

We are camped at the Goolwa caravan park for a few days & our cache run took us to Victor Harbour again today because there is so much to see here. We enjoyed our walks today and took lots of photos.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where our GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good condition, but **the listed trackabls are not in the cache,** could Finderfelix (or the Trackable owner) please "Mark the Item as Missing" so they can be removed from the cache inventory. This option is under Actions on the trackable's web page). Sad

**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for placing this cache for us to find,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

#2500 - Found by Bruce but had to grab Marg to assist with the height challenge.
Found a nearby rock to assist and addition 3cms to enable the re-instalment of the cache after signing. (Used a stick to flick it out initially)
All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.

On holiday from the UK. Our travels have brought us to Victor Habour so I set off to locate a cache in the area. Checking my GPSr I noticed that this one was the nearest. On reaching GZ I soon spotted it but the area was very busy and it's position was such that I could not recover it without sticking out like a sore thumb, so I thought it best to leave it until later. Revisited several hours later the coast was clear, managed to get a foothold and the rest was simple. SLB. TNLN. TFTC.

A busy spot but no time like the present so we did our best to search without drawing too much attention. Pagan quickly spotted it and I think we did a good job in the end! Haven't stopped here before so thanks for the reason to take a closer look. Thanks Finderfelix Big Grin
