Found with ricklink as part of our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
Didn't think we would find a way in due to the bridgework, but there was a small opportunity and we took it. Thanks thewhitedoggang.

Arrived from Whyalla with iluvtrekking and after setting up in the caravan park we headed out to cache. We were unable to do this cache on our 2019 visit due to road works and today the area again looked unassailable. However with no workers around the opportunity presented itself and ‘don’t look a gift horse’ and all that- our visit was recorded. Thanks thewhitedoggang
Stopped here (Stirling North) overnight on my way to Gawler Ranges for some volunteering work. Thanks thewhitedoggang.
Found while waiting for my car to be ready - bought my bicycle so I wouldn't be stuck for transport. Found a great bike path (coastal path) that goes around the back of the railway workshops where I did my apprenticeship many years ago. There is still some activity happening there by the sounds coming from within.

Getting the car serviced in Port Augusta gave us time to walk over the bridge into town. This cache was found quickly and easily on the way.
found while doing the lab cache. quick find.
Mogni and myself went to the Northern Territory for a 10 day holiday. We drove 5478 km's in those 10 days. The plan was to go up the Sturt highway and then go via Ayers Rock, King's Canyon and then through to Alice Springs stopping at the gorges/chasm/gaps along the way. As you can expect nothing goes to plan. Day 1 Adelaide to Cooper Pedy, made it just before the Roxby Downs turn off and blow the side wall on the tire of the 4x4, 193 km detour just to get a tire and even then it was the second tire place that had the tire the correct size. We had camels come in to the campsite in Erldunda Roadhouse, they even left hoof prints 1/2 a foot from the tent, at King's Canyon we had dingo's come through the camp ground both nights we where there and at Alice springs we had a mouse move in under the tent in their campground. Some of the aboriginal towns we passed where in lock down because of covid 19 so no going in to get fuel there, that changed some plans. The floods where way worse up in Northern Territory than i realized. Some creeks/rivers i could see the debris over 2 meters from the river bed and down one 4x4 track it washed the road away completely, the hole was 3/4 the length of the 4x4 and over 6 foot deep. The temp was 33 to 36 for 9 of the 10 days and finally cooled down for the drive home. We got 7 different caches types in the N.T. plus every different cache size. It was a good trip but not the one we planned. To many of the roads in the N.T. where damaged and not repaired ( still closed ) so that cancelled plan A but that's just a excuse to come back isn't it. Come back and see what you missed last time when the roads are fixed. We came with 19 regular " geocaching size " containers and a milk crate of small containers by day 7 all the regulars where used as replaced caches and by day 8 the smalls where gone. It was the UV rays a lot more than the floods that killed the caches and almost all the log books where saved, the micro containers seemed to have constantly full log sheets so they where replaced too.

Plenty of muggles driving past - so felt like a lone bridge walker
No luck - maybe the Red Backs put me off the scent.

A quick find for the kids while having a brekky stop over. Must take writing implements
Could let this beat me return today and found pretty much straight away.
Sometimes a second look is worth while.

First find on our trip north. Nice to have found our first in an old home town. Joy was around when we were here. RiP Joy.
Managed to accidently be in the right access point thus time through Port Augusta.... for a quick find...
Took all the crap out, that was jammed in there (wrist band and plastic spider).
Thanks WDG

Found with geodaughter pratzy95 and geodog Ava the Kelpie on a trip to find where my cache Littel Dokey disappeared, quick easy find
Found after a short search with HRH54 today as we begin another caching day around Port Augusta! TFTC
Day 7 of 7 in a row for the “geocaching streak” badge. A quick find after parkrun.
Found while visiting my former home for three years. Great memories. Dropped off a TB as Joy Balluch was awesome.
Gone caching at the end of the June Long Weekend with JEM, JacktheMonkey, and Sebastbat.
Container was about 24m out from GZ, so moved to more logical spot. Added small sheet of paper, will need new log soon.

No joy for me today... checked the logical hides but no cache to be found. TFTC
Found on a work trip to Port Augutta. Thanks to perfect coords this one was found easily for find 900. Thanks
Late day find. There's a lot of traffic on the bridge - Port Augusta rush hour? No, the power is out on the north side and everyone's going slow (slower than usual anyway). VERY hard to deploy stealth as a result, but got the job done.

There is no way to do this cache and not look suspicious. Hopefully the passing motorists just thought CPwanderer and Owl were local yobbos!
