Over replacing, going looking to check when it was still there; done!

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Was a easy find but unfortunately it has been dropped and can't be logged.

Had a quick look but no luck

Went back today after reading carefully previuos logs and no luck. Used phone light and a stick as well as feeling and nothing again. Thanx

Holey money couldn't find anything in any holey. Thanx

Took a little while but we got there...

Didn’t find.

Oooh this a new one for me

Found. Didn't think we would find it. It was in the very last hole of many. Tftc

Nice easy cache we've had some experience with these types of caches TFTC

Not an easy find but got there in the end. Thanks. Aspro.

No luck today! Found a lot of spider webs though aha
Maybe try again soon!

Had 3 of us trying to find the cache, stuck our arms into what felt like every hole on the structure

Day 387 ( Saturday 19th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Waikerie today. A total of 1 for the day and 6831 the trip. A grand total of 16,799 caches. TFTC

Family find

After not finding this one on the 9th but seeing someone found it on the 10th, back I went today. Another long search and finally came up with the goods. Nearly got arm stuck though. A blue face now turned yellow. Yay. Thanks

After doing the Sundial Multi i went to Woolies for an Iced Coffee then made my way to this one.

A nice piece of machinery here. There's one in Berri aswell. I'd hazard a guess they were dotted all along the Murray towns in the day.

I was poking in all the wrong holes at first then i came up trumps a bit later [^]
Nice magnet strength... fitting for a machine of this size [:o]

Spent a good half hour looking up, down, in and out. Hate when I can’t find the little buggers. Thanks

Grivell and Owens school holiday visit.

Staying up at Blanchetown for a few days, decided to do a caching circuit up to Waikerie, across to Ramco, Cadell and Morgan and back down the eastern side of the Murray back to Blanchetown. Managed to find all the caches from Waikerie to Cadell to clear out that particular area in the Riverland, but ran out of time late in the day. Will need to return Morgan on another trip! Approached this landmark feature with trepidation but found the cache after not too long a search! Thanks for the cache Bart_57!

After a bit of searching we found it!

Sadly although this was apparently replaced we were not able to find this.

On investigation it would seem some "ferret" has felt the need to remove this cache.
I have replaced the container last night to the same co-ordinates.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No find 30 minutes of searching

was one of 11 people searching but with no luck

Searched everywhere and unfortunately did not find

11 of looking phone a freind used a magnet on a pole in the holes of the pump

We think this one is lost! we hunted for around 1/2 hour

Too many places where the cache could be, and not daring to grab inside without seeing spider webs we had to leave this cache unfound.

Thanks For the hide. Great bit of history on display in the town. Come to the River land regularly love this part of South Australia.

Found. Quick one

Geofriend found it while I was looking elsewhere
Found within 2 minutes of being there! (Probably one really haha!) thanks for the cache!
Interesting info!!

In under 3 minutes! Thank heavens! TFTC

found it

That took some looking, but we got there! Good spot. TFTC

Good hiding spot, took a few minutes to find. Nice views from the park.
TFTC

Nice view

Out and about today last time we were here was a dnf but today we were lucky enough to find it after a short search in the right area this time round lol Yay TFTC

good spot

At last found my nemesis, after back to Cadell - special memories ️

Not on a roll today. DNF again...

I was very impressed with this old engine and was surprised that 2 stroke diesel engines had been around that long.
Thanks

Took a bit of a search, but found it. #NLAMT.

Thanks for the cache Bart_57.

Off to the Riverland today with hevwalker for a fun day of caching! This was a third visit after 2 previous DNF's, this time we found in less than a minute!! Glad to tick this one off! TFTC

Good hiding place

Daughter loved the climb, jugglers here that wouldn’t leave.... to many hidy holes and gps kept jumping around

Found while on a quick stopover. TFTC.

We drove past a few times until the council finished mowing the lawns, I must say Waikerie is a well presented town. I missed this one, the Moose found it one the second look. Thanks for the hide.

A surprisingly quick find this morning, lucky it’s a Sunday with not too many people in town. A little shopping nearby, then up here to check out this massive pump.
Thanks for sharing this interesting spot.
TFTC

Part of my day trip caching in the Murray/Riverland area. Thanks Bart_57.

Yay. Just as we re read Mum found the sneaky hide. Thanks for bringing us here after a stop at woollies for ant sand for the campsite. Will email a question Many thanks

Have replaced cache with new log inside.
Bit of a reach to container, please try place back into position after finding.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Out with @ddog85 again on an Aussie day caching adventure.
We did a few Caches and traveled a few towns.
Thanks to all he cos for placing these caches for us and others to enjoy.


Have msgd co but cache appears not to be in right spot. We saw it as we approached.

I clearly need a braver person with me. Wore gloves to insert hand but gloves so thick they kept getting stuck and fear of being bitten prevents me removing them. Ahhhhhhgggghhh

Difficult

Watch out for the ants...brutal!

Had us ghoing for awhile as gps kept freezing on 5m. Through some deduction work and previous experience we had the cache within 5mins, signed and replaced. Great cache and history stop. Tftc

It's still in place folks, I checked tonight and put my hand on it straight away. Sometimes its been put back in place requiring a bit of a reach but not atm; and there's no climbing involved

Clambered over and around on 13/10 but no luck this time.

TrudyJane and I clambered over and around and looked under and... and no luck! Hate these big machines with lots of suggestive nooks and crannies and can't find the cache. 13/10 was DNF day.

Day 8 of my geocaching trip to Australia with tmann421
Enjoying travelling around discovering different parts of SA.
Thanks for the hides

Over on a geocaching trip with woolwood9.
We enjoyed visiting the area and finding the good caches.
SL Thanks for helping make our trip fun!

What an awesome engine and pump!!

Tried all the obvious holes including the large water pipe without success

Couldn’t locate this. So many books and crannies! Great location though.

After spending the day at Blanchetown with some friends. I ducked up to Waikerie to collect some caches. this took a lot of searing but was lucky I put my hand on it TFTC

Back with Purrfect Di, Jack, and Sebastbat.

It's eaten some new mints since here last!

Found it

We found this one with the lid broken off and log must have fallen out. Have replaced the container and logbook for CO. TFTC

Check every possible crevice! No luck

Couldn’t find it today
Will keep an eye on activity and maybe try again

Found

Nice Easy find. Thanks for the cache

Out today with LLL51 and Gemini7 and while we were in Waikerie we collected a few caches on a lovely day for caching. [^]
Lots of places this one could be hidden, but LLL51 put her hands on it in a place I had looked and felt before her.
Thanks for the cache Bart_57.

Relatively easy find in this situation- thanks for the cache

Awesome spot to hide it finally found it

Was camping along the river and didn't have much time for caching but did manage to grab a couple of caches today with this being one of them.
I usually look at these types of structures and groan because I am terrible at finding caches on these objects, luckily I had Team Jacob with me today who read the clue and had the cache in hand within minutes. TFTC

(ps container has lid missing but log and contents are dry)

Finally found this one! Tftc

Found with Csaba! and SupaOrange before I had a caching name. A very late log. Turtle out.

Found with Dad aka Csaba! before I had my own caching name. Tra La Laaaa

This was the first cache in trying to find three caches in three states of Australia in one day. South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Thanks

Awesome spot, great climbing for little ones!

Had a look around this huge engine and found the cache.

???

Terrific spot for a cache.
Thanks

This one turned out to be our only DNF in Waikerie. Despite a long search, we were unable to find the elusive container. Thanks Bart_57 for bringing us here to take a look at this very impressive engine and pump.

We're camping nearby and dropped into Wakerie for some groceries. What an impressive piece of machinery! Thanks

On the way to Renmark we thought we would stretch our legs and get a quickie.
MaJaBiLo strikes again.
TFTC.

Were grabbing some caches Se we are headed for Mildura with Noodels22. Thanks to all the COs for placing these caches for our enjoyment.

Found on the 04/08/2017 at 3:41:00 PM.

After a great caching road trip out to the Yorke Peninsula with J+J, we unfortunately met out half way point and had to start heading back home. We had another two power trails to complete on the way though.
After the heavy rain a couple of days earlier, the dirt roads were still soft but managable.
In the end we managed to find 158 caches and make our way back into VIC again. Tomorrow we have to cross back to NSW and hopefully still get our cache find count up.

Thanks for the all the caches.

always a favourite

Had a good look and it wasnt our day, but hopefully someone else can have a look for it!

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks Bart_57 for placing this cache.

When I Saw where this was probably hidden I almost kept going as my success on such things is abyssmal However I decided to give it a fo and was pleasantly surprised with a find TFTC bart 57
