Didnt see the DNFs and after a bit fo a search soon spotted why we couldnt find it, we expanded the search but still nothing, this is the sort of cache that you dont care if it is a DNF as it is a fantastic spot to be bought to and when its replaced we get to revisit it again, on the walk back to the car i spotted a nice size brown snake skin, maybe he ate the cache lol

Hi there Moneydork.

This is the 2nd of 2 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 12:52:00 PM, but we just couldn't locate your cache. It's either not there, a very clever hide or we are just suffering from "cache blindness", so here's a DNF from us. Twisted

Regards
Ian and Penny

#2324 - Found by Bruce on a warm afternoon. Very hard to ride the hybrid bicycle to the location. Track is a bit rough. We were approached by a fellow geocacher and her muggle friend.
All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.

Worthy of a favourite

Found at 1:36 PM GAFF1.
We were intrigued at the description of this cache and were wondering what sort of adventure we were going to get into to find it. Water proof - did we have to go under water to get it? No the T is just a 2.0. Was it going to be under a cliff - No the T is a 2.0 - so what was it going to be?
Well as we were puzzling on that thought, we passed a couple of fishermen who were pulling up roughy after roughy and we wondered how you you could get a meal out of those fish - they are tiny!
Got to the proximity of GZ and from a distance of 15 metres we spotted the hide and moved straight to it. Not so tricky for us expert cachers that's for sure Razz
Thanks Moneydork.

Easy find, was not water logged but a few small rock pools of water close by. Thanks for bringing us here to this magnificent location. TNLN

Day Twelve of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747. Today we wandered around Elliston. Did the tourist drive, and generally had a bit of a domestic day. (oh, and did a few caches as well!))
We bumped our way nearly out to GZ, and walked the last part. A wild and woolly day after a very windy night. I doubt that anyone would be crossing the bar today.
BB found the cache right away, so I went and peered over the edge - Splat! a wave came up onto the dry rocks Smile Back to GZ.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7823. After a wild and windy night here at Elliston in our little tent we decided to head to breakfast at the local cafe and then grab some caches while waiting for our cabin to become available. Not the kind of day we had been hoping for after the past few lovely days - gale force winds and showers were the order of today.

We bounced our way over the rough track to a nearby parking spot and walked the walk to the Location. Fortunately for us on this wild day I found the cache hiding in the first place I looked. Great. All in good condition of course and added our names to the log. Took one of Lilysu&Boxer's pathtags and left one of my new Phryne-Rose pathtags in exchange. Just one more to do for the day now.

Thanks Moneydork

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 Big GrinBig Grin Thanks to Moneydork for placing this cache.

Found while out checking out the town and scenic drives around the area,as it was our first visit to Elliston. We had our daughter,son in law and three of our grandies with us. A quick find then on to the next scenic site. Thanks for the hide.We spent some time watching the huge swell.
 
30-Dec-14
An excellent location indeed. We decided to walk in as the track looked a bit much for our corolla. The cache was easily found. Spent some time taking in the views and watching the swell. TFTC Moneydork!

TFTC.14.15. From Perth to Melbourne is our last vacation journey in Australia, along this route, we look for caches. Greetings from the Netherlands

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.

Day ten of my holidays, travelling from Streaky Bay to Point Lincoln, doing caches along the way. There were some amazing views at some of the caches, a spectacular day. I made my way along the bumpy track to within about 70 metres of GZ. Once at GZ, after viewing the amazing panorama, I was able to locate the cache in the first place I looked - just pure luck.

My thanks to Moneydork for the cache and the views.

No Moneydork, this is not the location to be - we could hardly stand up! Glad we were not here last night as two fronts went through about two hours apart. The first one was bad enough but the second shifted the whole town some metres to the east! And the thunderstorm was too much entertainment for the middle of the night. Needless to say we did not get much sleep in our little caravan.

Despite the wind, what a fantastic location this is - definitely wild and wonderful. The cache is above the waterline (just) - we could hear the waves pounding on the rocks etc. last night. TNSL and left a trademark ladybug. Thanks for your effort in placing this cache and giving us reason to explore this rugged coastline. A fav for us. Big Grin

We really enjoyed the hunt for this cache. Thanks Moneydork for an adventurous (at least for us) hide. Seas all around and close enough to be 'interesting' Fav point from us. TFTC

On a wild and windy day, with passing heavy showers and hail, I dared to venture out to this location, location, location Razz
I parked the geomobile on the corner, outside somebodies house and waited for a shower to pass.

OK !! I reckon I have about 10 to 15 minutes before the next one comes through ..... RUN !!
Off I hared over the rocky ground to cover the last few hundred metres to GZ.
With a gale blowing and seaspray whipping across the landscape I was really enjoying this Razz

Approaching GZ and suddenly it all started looking a bit interesting [:o]
Spectacular location, location, location and all, but there was a goodly flow of water flowing out of the rockpool at GZ.
Which could only mean that the occasional wave was breaking over the rocks and filling the rockpool Razz

From the other side of the moat I could see where the cache was hiding Smile
Dare I dash over and grab it ?
Was I going to get soaked ?
Would the Joker wreak his awful revenge on the good people of Gotham City ? [:o]

Tune in tomorrow folks for the next exciting installment ......


A fresh spray of sea water woke snapped me out of that thought train and I managed to grab the cache, sign the logbook and rehide the cache without getting too wet Razz
Now would I get back to the geomobile before the next heavy shower of rain ?
It was going to be a close run thing [:o]

And as I hopped back in the door, down came the rains again.

I haven't had that much fun chasing a cache for a little while Big Grin

We are now into Day 11 of our Oz Mega 2014 Event trip. We have been clocking up lots of kilometres and lots of caches (not able to log them until I get home, and can see it is going to be a mammoth job when I do get around to it - oh well, the price of having so much fun now!!)

Arrived here in Elliston around sunrise - what a fantastic view, especially for us knowing that home was just over there across the Bight somewhere. Got some magic pics from near gz. Thanks Moneydork
 
24-Apr-14
Day 11 of my trip to the Oz Mega in Murray Bridge with Mistraluna.

Thanks Moneydork for the cache.

01-Mar-13
We stayed in town overnight, and enjoyed a good meal at the pub.
Tackled this one in the morning, could have almost made it a drive by, but parked out on the road.
I was expecting it to be lower than it was, but found it easy in the end.

Cheers from Mr & Mrs Barra

Found it. With the amount of water that goes over the top it is surprising it is there. Thanks

Prime rugged limestone real estate not far from the edge of cliffs and awesome view. Bomb proof container well hidden. This was a good one. On a hot summer day the temp was 40 deg 500 M from the cache but only 34 deg at the cache catching the wind off the sea.
