King for a day Tumby Bay, South Australia, Australia
By YeahRight80 on 14-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3WTHH

During our new years break, jesswrigley and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula to travel around the various coastal towns. We started the trip with Jeep trouble, but then continued in our alternative vehicle without 4WD to stick to the main tourist roads where possible. We travelled south-west to Tumby Bay and Port Lincoln via Whyalla, Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay; west across to Coffin Bay; and then north-west to Streaky Bay and Ceduna via Elliston, and Venus Bay. We then headed back east staying in Kimba via Poochera, Wudinna, Lock, and Darke Peak.

Today, jesswrigley and I travelled from Port Augusta to Tumby Bay. We made stops in Whyalla and then Cowell for a bakery lunch, and then continued our drive through Cleve, Arno Bay, and Port Neill. The weather had changed from the sunny balmy conditions, to strong wind and gust warnings for the afternoon.

After finding all the nearby caches and having some time after dinner, we decided to have a drive around some of the archived caches that may still be hidden away. As it turned out, we managed to find this cache reasonably quickly, and the cache container and logbook weren't in too bad of shape. This cache could certainly have lived on! Thanks YeahRight80 / Tempo 0 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

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 This cache drew the short straw and will be withdrawn.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.

Driving through on way for family holiday. Been a while so thought would grab one to stretch legs. TDTC

Out and about with &0thers on our visit to Tumby Bay. Lovely spot for lunch. Checked out a couple as we strolled around the town. Sent the men team of while we checked out the craft store. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache

4666 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1000. Now on our way to Port Lincoln for a couple of days. This made us think outside the circle this morning. Ah there it is SL Tnx Tempo 0

Quick find while holidaying in Tumby Bay.TFTC

A few muggles around but we were able to make a find without anyone seeing
TFTC

Thanks for cache

Found at 2:37 PM GAFF1 at a distance of 8 metres.
Liked the big throne - it was a bit Alice in Wonderland'erish
Not sure that the description shoud tell us where the cache is - after all the whole purpose of this game is to find a cache using a GPSr
Thanks Tempo 0.

Found by Mary & David at 1010. Left Port Lincoln this morning, at the start of our long journey home. Cached our way north to Whyalla for the night. Had to time our retrieval, but there weren't many muggles around, so didn't have to wait long. Mary sat on the regal "throne" to sign the proclamation log. Our thanks to Tempo 0.

Found it

Just have to be there at the right time on a windy wet day and there's nobody about. Except wet cachers! TFTC

Easy cache, Kings and Queens for a day

I work within seeing distance of this cache and we often wonder what people are doing around the chair... Now we know! Went after dark so wasn't seen by any muggles TFTC!

Warning this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise.

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.

Lots of muggles today TFTC

Found it on a walk around town.

10:36:00 AM. Parked up and went for a walk around town. Out waited some passing muggles by taking photo's of each other on the throne. Got told it is used by Santa. A quick find and signed log and returned. Thanks Tempo 0 for placing this cache.

A caching stop on my drive from Port Lincoln to Whyalla. Thanks for hiding this cache Tempo 0.

Not many muggles out today so we did the usual photos, grabbed the cache sat and signed then replaced. TFTC

[Teal] As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here and the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.

A nice spot to sit n relax

Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

TFTC.12.25. From Perth to Melbourne is our last vacation journey in Australia, along this route, we look for caches. Greetings from the Netherlands

Quick find once I read a bit more into it tftc

I've met up with Triciac2 in Perth, because we are taking a 3 week driving tour to Adelaide We had a couple of fun days caching in the company of her son Brother Colin, but he has now headed back to Brisbane, and we have begun our drive east. We have travelled from Perth via Brookton, Corrigin, Hyden, Ravensthorpe, Hopetoun, Esperance, Kalgoorlie, Norseman, the Nullarbor Plain, Ceduna and we have now reached Port Lincoln

We decided to stop at Tumby Bay for the night and picked this one up on the way into town. TFTC, Tempo 0.

On my Round Aussie Trip, travelling with IolantheK, who flew into Perth, from Brisbane to travel the Nullabor with me, we found your cache. TFTC

Found the throne and Ladybug thought that she was the Queen for the day. I had to take a photo the next day to prove the fact! TNLNSL Thanks Tempo 0 for a cache we really enjoyed.

Found during a family Tumby Bay holiday with DeltaDucks and stavros08. Thanks

Had to visit this a couple of times as mugglers were present. Finally got it with the help of Delta Ducks. Tftc

Visited earlier in the day but with too many muggles around we thought better of trying. Came back later in the day with very few people around. A quick find, sign in the car and return with nobody looking.....so we think!. TFTC

Find #: 3038
Date: Sat 4 Oct 2014
Today we drove from Adelaide to Port Lincoln. There wasn't too much time available for caching but we found 9 along the way.
This was number 8
A very quick find thanks to the specific hint.
A very interesting attraction too. I made use of it to assist with writing my name in the log.
Thanks for placing this cache Tempo 0

Easy find

Worth a stop for a look at the throne.

Tftc. Quick find

I found the throne on my wander around Tumby Bay this morning
And after trying it on for size, decided that Tumby Bay didn't need a new king

I headed for the cache instead.
Which was a nice easy find.
No passing muggles were any the wiser as I searched for the prize, signed the logbook, and put it back [^]

TFTC.

A quick find [between muggles] then walked over to the bakery for a yummy lunch. Thanks.

Quick find, watch out for speeding gophers

What a lovely town SL TFTC

My Bestie (Queen for a min) sat on the throne with her fish n chips so her subjects could take snaps...
Nice hide.
Thanks

Found during JLWE 2014. Creepy Cleve caching.

Found on my way home from the JLWE Cleve Creepy Cachers 2014. A quick easy find!

Nice find. Saturday afternoon while everyone is at the footy is a good time to hint this one. Tftc

All quiet around the throne today so retrieving, signing & replacing was not a problem. Tftc

Beautiful beach and a great time to sit and be king for a moment. Not too many muggles around. I was ready to use the CONFUNDANCE spell on them, but wasn't needed. TFTC

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. Stealth required but easily done as it wasn't to busy and one off us is large enough to provide suitable coverage for the other tftc

was away for the weekend, what else is there to do but shout out to the locals and go a caching

apolagies for the late log, have been busy on the farm and with life

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Luckily not many muggles about today.
Thanks for the fun Tempo 0!

So easy to find good spot

TFTC, sadly I misplaced my pen/pencil on the way, being roughly 2000-2500km from home I'm not going to get back to this one to sign in a hurry.

Returned to sign log and get pics

Tftc - busy day - quizzed over from the bakery for a quick walk by!

Found on our tour of the Eyre Peninsula. Thanks

Found after waiting for owners of house to move inside!!

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 23.7 feet or 7.2 meters.
Sadly this cache has been targeted and has gone missing so many times my local repairer has run out of prepared replacement caches. Ive had to move it two metres to a similar position to 'Pete Allen'.

Even though this one is now moved it is still very much in the publics eye, please be careful not to be seen.

TFTC! =)

Found on a trip to the shop in the thunder storm while staying in Tumby Bay for week. Nice easy find.
TNLNSL. Thanks Tempo 0.

In the wee hours of the morning muggles are the least of your problems, the smell coming from the bakery down the road smells wonderful : ) with the COs permission i replaced the cache so lets hope it stays put and doesn't go walkies again : ) Thanks Tempo O for the cache : )

Many thanks to 3LG for replacing this cache for me and getting it back online so fast.

The magnet is still there but the eclipse tin is gone unfortunately. Nice chair

Disabled until the cache can be replaced.

Nice thrown easy find.

Easy find and very quite here at the moment

Easy find very quite here today

Easy part was finding and getting cache. Tricky bit was putting it back without being extremely obvious.

Done

Had walked by it numerous times not knowing till now

I made some changes to this cache to make it much better for searchers. I replaced the missing log and sharpened the pencil. All good for a while yet.

Found it exactly where you said it was.
TFTH

Found on a drive to Tumby Bay for my Brother-in-Laws 70th Birthday bash.
It was a Sunday afternoon so there wasn't too many people around.
Thanks for the Cache - We had a great day 13 out of 13 by the time it got dark.

Easy find

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.
