If you eventually decide to work around the missing sign, let me know and, if it meets the guidelines, I'll unarchive it.
 
22-Feb-09
No sign means no find for us. Reading now the details from firesafe at least informs me that it is possible.
 
22-Feb-09
jenkoz requested Lightly Marino be archived at 2/22/2009. The sign(?) that provided the information to the questions for this multi-cache has been removed, making this unfindable.
 
24-Jan-09
Lucky I had worked this one out a while ago from an image found using Google as I got up there today finally and the sign is missing.

So any one attempting this one in the near future will need to do some homework before going there.

Found the cache easily enough.

Day 224 of non stop caching. TFTC
 
23-Jan-09
The Sign is missing. I have a link to the sign image on the web.
 
01-Jan-09
Windy at the top, but worth it for the great view. Easy multi, although we were a bit nervous about meeting something long and slithery!

Took Call Me! T/B and bracelet, left dalmation brooch and Seal Rocks badge

Came here over a year ago but hadn't realised that it was a multi-cache until arrival. Finally made our way back with Cows with Guns. It's a great spot.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Took Signal Geocoin
Left Umpqua River Lighthouse #1 Travel Bug

A truly briliant weiw of Adelaide. Came with Snowone today to find this one.

Nice hide! Someone has been around here recently judging by the geo-trail around GZ.

If the owner wants to check the new cache is ok for the job that would be good. The old one was trashed hence we took the liberty of replacing it, mainly to make sure the log book kept dry (log book is fine).

One of the little mongooses thought leaving a "treasure" in the cache wasn't challenging enough so decided to bury a blue plastic ring in the dirt mount in the carpark for people to look for. Have fun with that!
 
22-Jun-08
What a great viewpoint! I will definately be back with the camera at sunset!!
Went with 'the fighting mongooses'. Found the container broken and waterlogged. Replaced with new container and some new items.

Dropped off Geocoin.

TFTC
 
15-Jun-08
A perfect day for caching. Joan and I found it but the container has a large hole in the lid so needs replacing. So we wrapped it with plastic for the time being.
Thanks for the cache. Smile
 
25-May-08
SmileSmileSmileSmileSmile Woo Hoo cache no 250 SmileSmileSmileSmileSmile
Walked up the hill from the carpark. Took some photos, did the calculations and found the cache easily. A beautiful day for caching today, sun shining and not too hot. The views fom here are realy outstanding. a worthy cache for our 250th cache.SmileSmileSmileSmileSmile

TNLN TFTC Team Geocoopers

The cache is now so badly damaged that the contents were soaked. Dried out as best we could, removed all badly damaged swaps and disposed of them (most were paper). The log is not badly damaged but is a little damp.
The container has a large hole in the lid so needs replacing. Previous logs mention the damage. Maybe the next cacher could take a 1 litre container with then to replace the damaged one.

 
25-May-08
Forgot to drop off our pocket decoder geocoin in celebration of cache no 250
 
09-Apr-08
Beautiful views of Adelaide beaches and surrounds.
Cache was easily found,
 
18-Mar-08
Found the cache at 4.10pm. Lovely view with cool weather... Took: Crew 153's Australia geocoin 2006 #1. SL. Thanks Team GeoCoopers for organising the cache and hunt.

Hey The container need new one, as the top is crack...
 
10-Feb-08
It pays to do the maths right the first time. Ended up miles from the cache! Our 100th find. tnln tftc
 
19-Jan-08
Container needs replacement before the wet season
 
19-Jan-08
Visited the listed coords, and did the maths while waiting for a muggle family to wander back toward the carpark. Then off to GZ, which was surrounded by a geotrail in the grass. Container lid still cracked, container still needs replacing before the rain starts. It was also full of ants, but I'm not sure what they were after in there. Maybe building a nest Smile.

Took: nuts TB
Left: crew 153 geocoin

Thanks Team Geocoopers
 
16-Jan-08
Beautiful day, Beautiful views. Picked up TB Unite for Diabetes Had TB to leave but it was too big for box, sorry. Lid still cracked. TFTC
 
06-Jan-08
Wandered up here to admire the view, see the lighthouse, have some lunch in the shade and find a cache. Achieved all but the last. The only worthwhile shade was under my hat.
Dropped a couple of TB's here too. Cache container lid is cracked and letting in the weather so a maintenance visit is needed. From memory I think it was tupperware which has a lifetime warranty so you can get a new container for free.
Thanks indeed.
 
06-Jan-08
Whoops forgot the TB's
 
06-Jan-08
Always good to see a light I haven't seen before. Great view back into the city too. We had lunch on the top before doing the calculations and a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
19-Oct-07
We visited this one a long time ago.
Back today and wouldnt you know it the battery got low on the PDA halfway through working out the end location. So I had to use my other Palm the one with skin on. Dam that paperless caching.
It all worked out well and I found the cache and grabbed the coin.
 
07-Jul-07

I think this light shone a little brighter today.
clear skies! Anyway, when it rains on such a day, it DOES bring good luck. The picture sure shows that!
Well done from TeamAstro.
 
18-Jun-07
Loved the views and scenery, took travel bug and replaced it with geocoin.
 
10-Jun-07
Thanks for a lovely but wet walk in a part of the world we had never visited. Unfortunately, the rain arrived just as we got to the top of the hill and we got absolutely soaked. So, while geo dad sheltered under a sparse tree, geo daughter explored the nearby trees and the cache was located. TNLN
 
06-May-07
Found on 6th May by Groewrs.

Nice walk in a park I never knew existed! I'll be coming back here....

Good exercise, both physical and mental!

Took nothing, left Vikram the TB. Vikram will enjoy the views over the Gulf St Vincent.

TFTC! Groewrs Smile

We're visiting from the US (Ohio). Very nice! TNL-OSU Coaster. TFTC.
 
12-Apr-07
Our first find by the flutterbyclub with the aid of the JJ club from melbourne. Very addictive can't wait to find our next. We exchanged a matchbox car for some crayons. tftc
 
18-Mar-07
It's been a while since the last find it seems. Nice multi, thanks Team Geocoopers!
 
26-Dec-06
Found on a blustery Boxing Day. Took father in law out for his first cache. Easy find once the maths could be calculated. Took TB Jack Russel, will take him to the north of the country in the next few weeks.
 
16-Dec-06
A great location. A great way to get GZ coordinates. Great Cache. The Chickstas maths was spot on and we guessed which tree from a long way off! Fourth and final geocache for the day - fourth and nowhere near final geocache ever Big Grin. Thanks Team GeoCoopers. Took pink coathanger - Left peg.
 
16-Dec-06
Jack Russel the Travel Bug has just been taken for a walk... I hope the next cache locator brings a camera -Jack Russel wants some photos of his travels from Germany Smile. Happy travels Jack.
 
11-Dec-06
Came across this (my first cache) today. After mixing the maths and ending up in the car park I rejigged my calculations and got it right.

Thanks Team!
 
25-Nov-06
Found with friends that are better at maths than I am so it helped alot. Very windy - view would be great on a clearer day.
TNLN
Thankyou - Team Geocoopers
 
08-Oct-06
After seeing this lighthouse at night for 37 years I thought a visit was due. Nice to see it in a park and a find was had once MiniZyths english explantion was translated into maths that worked. Took TB. 21st find of 43 for the day.
 
17-Jul-06
Called in to drop off Eight Legs a Walking TB. He needs to be beside the sea so thought he would like a look at a lighthouse.
 
28-Jun-06
Found by JackHenry 28/6/06 @ 14:30
Nice pleasant walk to the Light House. It's very white. Quick calculation and off to GZ. TNLN SL
 
25-Apr-06
Like Setsujoku, I also had the opinion that this would involve an hour or more of scrambling around steep terrain. Pleasantly surprised to find it a quick easy find. Found the story about the original lighthouse ironic. It was struck and destroyed by a ship of all things, must have been a real effective lighthouse. Took a gonk, left a cat. Picked up Wendy Wombat, assuming she was a TB, but she's really a Traveler Tag. Thanks Team Geocoopers.


I Picked up [url=http://www.travelertags.com/index.php?option=com_travelview&func=details&tid=62535]Wendy Wombat (Traveler Tag #TF447)[/url] from here.

 
16-Apr-06
This one is so close to home, but ive never done it for some strange reason. After having a nice refreshing stroll to grab freddo's new 'wet your whistle' cache, thought that i would tackle the stroll up the hill, to a place that i never knew existed.

Found the answers easily, and was surprised to see how easy the walk to GZ was going to be. For some reason i'd always thought that this one took a lot longer to do!!!

As i approached GZ it was interesting to see the trampled area, considering no one had been here for months. After flicking through the logs, was surprised to see that others had been there only yesterday!!!
Found that the co-ords were a little off, but it was obvious where it should be.

15-Apr-06
Beautiful views of the city & coast. Never have visited this area and it was great to see.
Thankyou Team GeoCoopers.
 
15-Apr-06
I never realised that the light house was here and found it very interesting in how it works.

Very nice view, clear day, thanks Team GeoCoopers
 
12-Oct-05
I dropped off [url=http://www.travelertags.com/index.php?option=com_travelview&func=details&tid=62535]Wendy Wombat (Traveler Tag #TF447)[/url] here. Please help move it along!
 
12-Oct-05
Found after a nice uphill stroll and a few calculations. What a view, haven't been here since a kid, and the geokid loved the technology there too! Left a patch and Wendy Wombat Travel Tag to continue her journey.
 
02-Oct-05
Nice view of the city & coastline. Got my calcs wrong the first try but second attempt was correct. Took badge, left penguin sticker
 
03-Jul-05
Never been here before. Great views. No muggles here today.
Forgot to bring a calculator, then realised my mobile phone came to the rescue.
And even then it took two attempts to get the maths right.
Took Gecko TB to continue on his travels.
Left money (no coins), and disco mirror ball key ring.
TemGeo (bg60)
 
26-Jun-05

haven't been here since school. the view is exceptional and the puzzle is good.

found it at about 15:20 and took a small stone and left a scottish owl and a pair of earplugs

the weather was cloudy but fine

thanks Team GeoCoopers
 
06-May-05
Had no worries finding this one. Took Lost Lion TB and left Gecko TB to continue his journey. Thought he would enjoy the views from up here. Thanks Team GeoCoopers.
 
03-May-05
Took pink bangles left TB: Joeilion. Good place for him to roar away.
 
16-Apr-05
Nice and easy find once we puffed our way up the hill. Nice clear views on a morning like this. Took little man and left a finger puppet.
 
27-Mar-05
Found 15:00, can't understand why we have not visited this cache on any of our previous visits top Adelaide, as it offers spectacular views up and down the coast. A great location Big Grin

TNLN, thanks Team GeoCoopers.
 
19-Mar-05
Found at 14:05 on a beautiful sunny Adelaide day - views out to the gulf, sailing boats doing their thing etc...

Thankfully read the logs before tackling this one so saved ourselves a walk back up the hill!

Very impressed with ourselves with our mathematical ability and had no trouble locating the cache from the clues at the first set of coordinates.

Took: plastic soldier and penguin keyring
Left: chinese historical figure and playing cards.

Thanks team GeoCoopers.
 
13-Mar-05
Found location 1 no problem, did the calculations and got a location near Murray Bridge - That must be wrong! Walked down the hill, thought about it a bit, redid the math and headed back up the hill. Success. Took nothing , left a shining star to guide others to the location. Cheers.
 
14-Feb-05
Was slightly out from the co-ordinates calculated but was in the only obvious place.
I used to come here as a kid to go with dad to the Marion Dump.
 
16-Jan-05
#8 of another Langy & BaggyGreens Cache Adventure. MissAdventure accompanying.
Up we go again. Do the math! Change the coordinates in the GPS. 1.6 km away(?), OK. Off we go, back to the car. Change the coordinates on the GPS in the car and do a little more rechecking. Bugger, up the hill again.
TNLN
 
16-Jan-05
Found point1 no problems got the answers did the math and off we went back down the hill. It was at the bottom that we realised I'd made a small entry error and so got to climb up the hill again...T TB Marge Simpson L Bracelets. Cheers.
 
27-Nov-04
Found at 9:25, the first of 21 for the day. Fantastic views from up there. Obtained the answers, did the maths, found the cache. No exchange was made. Thanks, Team Geocoopers, for the cache and the views.
 
21-Nov-04
A bit windy u[p that way today but hey it kept the flies away from me. Some nice views also. Had not been up here before so was a good place to visit for my first day of caching since getting back in the country. I took the light flasher and left a TB and Goblindust geobutton
 
23-Oct-04
Our first attempt at the second stage found us going in the wrong direction. After re-checking the calculations I noticed I had subtracted instead of added. Red Face Found easily once we had the correct coordinates. Took crayons, left Flinstones pencil sharpener/keyring.
 
09-Oct-04
Found at lunchtime on election day. Went with two new geocachers who found the cache easily.
Left a handy screwdriver, and took a little rubber snake. Thankfully the only snake we saw today.
 
Told ya we'd be back!! Picked up easily today with out a sole for miles. Cache was concealed beneath a minature teepee made from sticks that did more to mark it's location than it did to hide it. The final location however is far enough from any trail that it would never be found.

TNLNSL
 
Fabulous walk up here, all on own own whilst we sat down to work out the co-ords, and just as we got the final numbers a family of muggles came on up and sat down with a picnic tea (great idea, though) while watching the sun set about 25m from the calculated GZ! We couldn't believe it. We'll be back, Lightly Marino. We'll be back.
 
01-Oct-04
Found on a nice Spring day, a great view from the cache. My Maths were good the first time. Left plastic snake took nothing. cheers
 
22-Aug-04
Decided to go caching today south of the divide…well south of the Torrens River!

Taking in the view from GZ we were amazed to find the sea shrouded in fog whilst the plains bathed in sunlight....at 1pm in the afternoon!

Surprised ourselves with getting the maths right first time and finding the cache….which was in great condition. TNLNSL but I afraid we left a bit of a geo-trail to the cache with the winter grasses ankle deep!

Thanks Team GeoCoopers, Cheers Rav 4 Raiders
 
14-Apr-04
After failing dismally on my first attempt at this cache 10 months ago (see log 6/6/03), I came back today to complete some unfinished business ... well it *was* my first multi! Red Face

Found 14/04/04 (14th April) @ 3:25pm by Paul (Team Stargazer)

Took: Glow star
Left: Magnifying glass & pink rubber super ball

Thanks Team GeoCoopers Big Grin
 
12-Apr-04
Team Raider - Mike & Emma @ 1540hrs

Easy find... Using iPaq caching technology we found this one by doing some easy calculations.
Did calculate wrong... Got my Longs and Lats crossed [:o)]
but figured it out when the calcs said to jump a fence!

Great views from up here. But I do pose a question... Is it a lighthouse or a phone tower Big Grin

T: Small Key
L: Flashing LED Light - Seems appropriate.

Cheers Geocoopers
 
10-Mar-04
After spending a little while wandering around in the prickles, and the paddock next door (our maths isn't that good!), we finally found our first ever geocache! Big Grin

Great location, allthough a bit cold at 7:50pm tonight when we found it.

Thanks team GeoCoopers!

Took : Smiley Erasers
Left : Motorola Phone Accessories (case and earpiece)
 
21-Feb-04
(1510) After short walk up the hill in the refreshing rain, we soon found the sign and decyphered the clues. Finding the final location was not too difficult and we did not see any snakes today. Really enjoyed the views. Thanks very much Team Geocoopers for placing this one. Much appreciated.
 
18-Dec-03
Found it with no problems. Beautiful view! Thanks.
 
06-Dec-03
After finding out that my maths put me 142km into the Gulf, Checked the details with Team GeoCoopers and after a quick recalculation had me onto the right track.

Surprised *CAUTION* Surprised on the short walk to GZ I saw 3 brown snakes. Be very careful now we are in summer, especially if you take children and/or pets on the cache.

Took metal spanner and left green absailing clip. Also took TB Pirate Bowhunter to be moved on its merry way.

Thanks Team GeoCoopers
 
28-Nov-03
Nice walk up the hill and a nice view of the approaching thunderstorm over the ocean! Easy calc and big enough to leave the TB I found in Auckland last week.

Left TB Pirate Bowhunter and some smiley faced erasers, took the smelly soap. Cheers!
 
02-Nov-03

Great location for a cache! post card views... TeamAstro has a thing for lighthouses!!! Took keyring and left a spanner. clear skies John, Thomas and Emily.
 
28-Sep-03
What a nice view of the sea. I never knew the lighthouse was there. Took Wrist band watch and left Simspons crayons. Thanks Geocoopers
 
28-Sep-03
That hills a bit of a hike going up, especially since our legs were already sore from the hike we took yesterday. Then a race to the finish, still not sure who got there first, someone from the Skippy & Lambchops camp. Took duck, left little clamp & penguin keyring. Thanks Geocoopers.
 
28-Sep-03
Finally got around to doing this one on Sunday afternoon. Any challenge was removed by whoever had been here before us. As soon as we got to the initial co-ords we could see a trail that had been trampeled straight to the final GZ. Lots of crushed grass and broken sticks gave it away. Thank GeoCoopers!
 
07-Sep-03
Found at 1750 by David & Gwen. A nice spot to watch the sun set, pity about the cold wind. It was an easy find once the brain was put into gear and we remembered to add and not subtract! Duh!

Took the Aussie Keyring and left a cake of glycerine soap and a marking pen. Thanks GeoCoopers.
 
30-Aug-03
Found by Barry and Beryl at 3.10 pm
We have never been here before, thanks for giving us this little bit of exercise on a cool windy winters day, and then the great view over Adelaide with a shower or two skirting across the sea. A very well thought out cache.
Took Ear Plugs and Marsupial Rat, Left Gold Aussie key Ring and Soft toy Duck.
Thanks for a great cache Geocoopers
 
16-Aug-03
The clues took us right there. Lovely sunny day for geocaching. Took the map and left a digital watch.
 
02-Aug-03
Found it easily after thinking for a while: Now which is latitude and which is longtitude? Lucky my first guess was on the money and went straight to it. I decided to take the brochure on how to read topo maps, as it had some nice colour diagrams. With it, I may be able to entice the kids to become enthusiastic about map reading and geoching Smile. Left Obi-Wan Kenobi to watch over the site
 
06-Jun-03
I tried for my very first multi cache today - failed dismally! Sad

I just couldn't figure out how to put the new coordinates into my GPS properly ... guess that means I still need to do some more studying of the instruction manual as I'm still learning how to use it. Red Face

I shall be back! [B)]
 
10-May-03
Found at 3.20pm. Took a pin badge and left a marsupial rat. Great view from here but a damp day for our first geocaching expedition. Thanks to TeamGeoCoopers for the introduction to a new sport.
 
16-Feb-03
Our second find for the day. The children needed some major help with the maths. Have lived within a few KM of this site for a long time and never visited it. It is a wonderful view from there and worth the short walk. Took a lizard and left a lapel pin. We retreated after this one for icecreams and the beach.

Found fairly easily after doing the maths. Couldn't convince the younger members to do it for me-what are these young ones coming to. Now its off to find an icecream after enjoying this magnificent view.
 
12-Feb-03
Must have been having a bad maths day... wondered if I had to convert the height to match the distance in Part A, then couldn't figure out how to remove Part B from Part A. A call to the maccamob hintline soon had me sorted out, and the cache was easily located. Took some nail polish and left a little stick-on gecko. Fabulous views here!
 
12-Feb-03
 
07-Jan-03
Found by ThomasS, SusanD, Alaska and Nelson. Nice little spot. As it was a hot day, we all went for a swim at the beach afterwards. No trouble with the maths. Took a small cup, and a silver shell, and left nail polish and a balloon.
 
A nice easy find on a rather windy day. Forgot to take the swap bag so just left our memories.

Thanks TGC!

Ran up to here from Brighton Jetty. Rescued Carabat 2 after several months in hibernation here, trying to get him/her north like s/he wants.
Cheers.

Excellent Cache, Found by Tysonium, Miguel and Rachael, now HORACE caching. Normally i only see that area at night... Long story.

Found at 0950 by Mary & David. Great sea views and peaceful surrounds. Left a hitch-hiking bear Carabat 2 from The Dingo’s Christmas Bone in Melbourne, who is trying to go north to either Darwin or Cape York for the winter. Took bracelet. Thanks GeoCoopers.

Fantastic view of the city, and a beautiful day - what more could you want? Found easily, left a silver shell and took a small frog.
 
27-Apr-02
A nice little walk as a diversion from a vehicle based series. Took the coopers wallet, left some map stuff. Beaut day, great view, thanks GeoCoopers.
 
30-Mar-02
Freddo has been to this site before. As a newbie with his shiny new-fangled GPS he decided to visit a ROM programmed navigational aid not far from his sister's house. When he got there he was bewildered by the fact that his new toy was telling that the light house was not where it plainly was but a further two hundred metres out in a wheat field. Hmm. Later he found out about datum's and the penny dropped.

Nice site. Thanks Coopers. I like the maths. I like the background.

 
17-Mar-02
Found at 17:10 buy Gun family. It was 38 degrees - about time we had some heat.

Left a Rowell & Searle fridge magnet. It cost me $800 to get that magnet.
Took the water pistol - definitely not my idea, it was young Gun's.

 
16-Mar-02
Found by Liz and Bruce early in the day before it got too hot. Great view of the coast and yet another part of SA we had not been to before. Took us a little while to work out what we were trying to do to get the second lot of coordinates but then found the cache no problems. Left the water pistol and took the temperature gauge. Big Grin

RazzFound by Team Piggy. . .

Yay, another virgin cache. . . My trotters have been busy. . .

A great cache by Team GeoCoopers. well worth the hike, I was there after dark and it is a very pleasant spot.
I imagine if you can be here right on Sunset, it would be beautiful.
The light casts an eerie and weird light, making shadows seem to move.(pigs don't like shadows).

Took the emergency blanket and left a friendship bracelet from a little hill-tribe village on the Thailand/Burma border.

Thanks..
Team Piggy.Smile
