Mangrove Walk Tumby Bay, South Australia, Australia

With more caches to put out I need to reduce the caches I currently have. This cache drew the short straw and will be withdrawn. The cache itself will remain in place for six months so those who have this cache in their GPS's can still find and claim the find. Cheers.

Quick find while holidaying in Tumby Bay.TFTC

Sent the geoson to retrieve this one. He reckons there's nothing under the rock! Well exactly! !!! Tftc

Thanks for cache

Tricky to find. Not on the trail but quite close to the gps position. Nice cache.

Found at 3:44 PM GAFF1.
We performed a bit of a superfluous circuit to get to this cache [B)] We could have just as easily gone straight to it rather than trying to follow an non existing path [B)]
Liked the metal clip that replaces the plastic one that doesn't really stay in place.
Thanks Tempo 0.

Found by Mary & David at 1157. Left Port Lincoln this morning, at the start of our long journey home. Cached our way north to Whyalla for the night. Although the description says that the cache is "along a great walking trail", that's not where it is. We wasted a little time as a result, as the description conflicted with our indicated GZ. In the end we trusted the GPSr and found it well away from the trail. Our thanks to Tempo 0.

Out caching with the GeoKids on this beautiful day in Tumby Bay. Awesome cache the kids thought it was amazing!

Good hide

Found it

We found this cache as part of a 4 day trip which went from Adelaide to Sceale Bay returning to Adelaide. The purpose of the trip was to remove Freddo was his home location too near the Clipsal 500 track and for us and Freddo to achieve a difficulty 4 1/2 and terrain 4 cache to make us well rounded cachers. The cache we needed to find was located near Venus Bay and we successfully completed this goal early on Friday morning which left us plenty of time to find "just one more". Loved the scenery and having the opportunity revisit this great area Thanks to Tempo 0 for placing this cache.

Checked this one today, all good to continue for a while yet.

Clue was s good help. TFTC

Found it on afternoon drive with geo kids. Geo Kelli ' s first find!

A park and grab although ducking through the fence didn't seem like something we should be doing. Thanks for the cache Tempo 0.

Not often I will read the hint although this time was a great help tftc

What a surprise this was. Went for the walk - enjoyed the birds and particularly the wild flowers as they are a passion of ours. Congrats to the locals for the effort they have made in the area. TNLNSL Thanks Tempo 0.

At the start of a stroll through the nature park this morning, I stood around for a while trying to spot this cache
5 minutes of looking later and I spied the cache

Nice to see one of these sorta hides for a change.
Normally I don't see them

TFTC.

Found it - very clever!

Found on an afternoon caching with family. Thanks

Found whilst out driving with delta ducks. Tftc

Enjoying a quiet moment out of the holiday home & grabbed a couple of late afternoon caches. Parked 2m from the cache& expected a quick grab & sign. Took a little longer as it was well hidden, but with the hint was able to show my caching buddies they still had a lot to learn. TFTC

Tftc found after a few turn covers.

A quick find but we had to get the screwdriver out of the van to open it. We didn't do the walk through the mangrove swamps as we did 2 such walks yesterday. Thanks.

Nice lady across the road offered assistance just as we spotted the cache tftc

out with Rav81 .loved the clue.tftc

I've replaced the cache with a new version of the original stone. A new log and alloy bellyplate should see this cache go on for a long time yet.

Driving to Port Lincoln and needed a break so stopped off at Tumby Bay for a break and a few geocaches. Enjoyed the walk thru the mangroves. TFTC Tempo 0

I was in the area but didnt have a replacement cache when I found the original cache missing and replaced with a film canister and tatty log. The cache is still serviceable but will be replaced soon.

Easy find and help Lwolf83 repair

Found during JLWE 2014. Creepy Cleve caching.

Found during JLWE 2014. Creepy Cleve caching. Found log book but no cache, replaced with film canister

On the road again, using caching to guide us to the sites as we explore the state on our way to the Murray bridge mega. Easy find today tftc

Staying at Tumby Bay caravan park, very windy today, so picked up a few local caches.
The cache was found quickly, thanks for the hunt today, Tempo 0.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Great container. Quick find.
Thanks for the fun Tempo 0!

back in the home town and a few caches to enjoy. glad I have a hide like this myself made the find so much simpler. tftcsl

We got all excited and found the bridge to walk across. After looking at the water, we relized that the GPS was telling us we had gone wayyy to far. lol
Back tracked and found after the very helpful hint - some things are not what they appear!
SL TFTC

easy find, then did a walk along the boardwalk, returned to car, Where are the keys? nice and safe locked in the car!!!

Tricky hide made a bit easier once we used the hint, thanks for the cache!

Great hide thumbs up.! Went for a walk along the bridge over the mangroves lots of info along the way aswell thanks TEMPO.

Checked today, theres been a bit of cache creep but it's still within 500mm from where it started so Ive left it there.

Found on wet arvo geo hunt drive with the Nitz's at Tumby. TNLNSL

This one had us looking for a while and can someone shut that flaming dog up across the road, the whole time we were searching the dog just kept barking, i am not sure what the token was that was left from the previous finder ? TFTC

Found our first cache. Added a token in celebration. Good luck to the next visitor.

Had to use the hint

Checked this one today and dried it out then replaced the torn plastic bag. All good to go for a while yet..

First ever cache found, across the street from my sisters!

Whilst touring SA we did a day trip to Tumby Bay, Cummings and all points in between. Picked up a few caches on the way.

On the move again, heading towards Port Lincoln. Picking up a few caches by the side road as we went.
Didn't have time to do the walk.
TFTC YeahRight80

We knew what to look for thanks to the clue but had a lot of trouble locating it until geokid number one went bush. Relocated it back to GZ. Tftc

My 91 yr old Mum didn't want to chance waltzing with the snakes on the trail today so it was just a quick stop and grab TFTC

Nice hide clue useful, entered the walk from wrong gate which made it interesting, great spot too.

In the area recently I called in to check this one because of the few finds. It's still there and looking you right in the face. In plain view, right before your eyes. This one's about camouflage, all you have to do is sing the words in the hint song and the answer comes right to you.

Had a quick look for this while out with the bandar. Couldnt spot anything from the track and, without a gps, didnt want to go bashing through the bush. But will have a look again as soon as I renew the batteries in one of my gps The maps are extremely accurate and enable one to find many caches even without a gps but the nature of this location prevented me from random searching.

Ps this hide is only a few metres from my first ever find, many moons ago. It is also close to the site of one of my first hides in the information hut, which unfortunately was repeatedly stolen by local kids, once they knew where it was hidden.

A clever hide, which had me stumped for a while.

Woo Hoo My first FTF.. How cool is that. TFTC
