136 Over Tailem Bend, South Australia, Australia
By Gizmo's Gang on 23-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4KMGG

Had to go through quite a few, but solved it in the end! TFTC

I went through them all quickly but must of missed. Slowed it down and found 62nd.(SPOILER WARNING: photo will help you out if your too lazy)

Very clever! 111balls, probably equal to my golfing skills. TFTC

Hahahaha thats so good. Thanks so much!!!

Cache replaced.

Cache is missing. Disabling until I can replace.

Oops! Disabled the wrong cache.

After a tip that this cache may be missing again, Mr Gizmo went to check.Cache was indeed gone, but Mr Gizmo stumbled across it on the way back to the car and returned it to GZ. The strange thing is that the relocated cache was not the missing one but a previous version that went missing earlier this year. This is the third time this cache has gone missing only to turn up somewhere else much later. Might need to go for a more extensive wander and see if we can't find the most recent missing container and maybe another one or two.

Only had a couple to go before we found the log Thanks Gizmos Gang for bringing us here Tftc

My first find for JLWE event, lucky for me it was legs eleven, tftc.

Fantastic!! A great cache for ant golfer.. a favourite for me.

Found it! Glad I waited until the rain had cleared to attempt this one. Cache container located quickly then the hunt started to find the log. Then after a quick trip back to the car to grab a TOTT to access the log, it was stamped and returned as found! TFTC!

I was determined to get this cache as it was my 6000th find! However, I need to build up the muscles in my fingers! I only managed to pry the lid halfway to get to the cache inside. And then the hunt began. TftC and TftChallenge TheCOs came to help in case the lid wouldnt come off, then, because the sun had set by then to find my way back to the road through the bushes.

The container was not quite where it should be. (Mr Gizmo didn't put it in the correct spot when replacing it.)Returned to the correct location.

This one had us thrown off a bit I think, we were searching for a golf ball cache but i just don't know!

New container in place.

A new cache is under construction.

This cache has gone missing.Disabling while we reassess the situation.

We have driven past this one at least 100 times in the past. This time we stopped. Mot exactly what we were expecting but a bit of fun. TFTC and Happy Christmas

Out and about caching, Thanks for the cache

Great cache and not what I was expecting. TFTC

AMAZING!!! didnt take us too long luckily. tftc!

25 Strokes to go before a hole in one.Stopped through here while on a geocaching road trip. I wonder how many thousands of people drive past every day without even looking at this rock. Answers to the CO. Thanks for bringing me here.

Good thing we had lots of hands to sort through it

Loved it

It was worth the walk and was kind of fast because we had 3 people searching. Tftc

Found it

Got it about half way through, guess that's on par for this sort of thing. Thanks for the creative cache!

Oh my goodness that was so awesome. Probably the best find we have done. So much fun. Thankyou!

It’s a beautiful winters day and I have the day off work so I ventured down to the Murray Bridge & Tailem Bends areas for a day of caching.

A quick find of the container then ages finding the log

Gets a FP from me for the evil twist

TFTC

The biggest cache container we’ve ever found.

Was wondering what made it the favourite for so many……and then we took off the lid.

Amaze balls!!!!!!

TFTC

I’m finishing the day with four caches in Tailem Bend, the town that always seems to get overlooked as I pass through on my way to somewhere else.

Well I was not expecting to stumble upon a cache with more than one hundred FPs today. I don’t think I would have gone past this one so many times had I known.

So, first struggle is to get to the cache as the bush here is a bit thicker than you might expect, and it’s hard to move in a straight line. Once the cache is located, the work begins. I didn’t time myself, nor did I count logless balls, but I was down to the last three dozen or so when I finally found what I was looking for. My name is in the log!

This cache has helped me with a challenge, and for that reason gets one more FP despite the frustration factor! Thanks for the cache Gizmos Gang - a lot of hard work there to create all those dummies!

Time to head home after spending 2 nights in Meningie picking up caches and adventure labs along the way. TFTC
Excellent cache idea. Eventually found the right one, stamped and replaced ready for the next geocacher.

First Geocash find ever. Thanks

Certainly a favourite point from me, walked around in circles for too long and walked through way too many branches that always feel like webs, then realised I forgot my pen, back to the car, found it then again way too many steps back again. Thankfully only took 12 to find so was a tad excited by that!! Had a ball!! Thank you for a little distraction on a nice day!!

Tricky to find but using the gps view we managed to get there. Great idea! Kids and adults loved this one. Tftf

Thanks gizmo gang this one gets a favourite point

Thanks for the cache gizmo's gang loved it a favourite from me

Found the cache but unable to log physical log as the log sheet isn't in any of the possible spots. Went through them twice just to be sure. Sorry didn't have anything suitable to replace log with. Tftc.

Checked the cache contents and found the logsheet.
All good for more finds.

Needs to have the log book replaced.

Found with Gral4 but couldnt sign as there was no log sheet. We went through twice to no avail.

Liked the effort that went into creating this cache.

Found

Headed out with Shandyk to cache around Murray Bridge and Tailem Bend. This was on our hit list as we need it for a challenge cache. Signed log as GuSh. TFTC.

Out for the day with Guzs Travellers to finish off the signal series we started in 2014, and to do some icecream art. Easily completed both - picked thid one up on our way - fun to do - TFTC

New cache. Now located further into 'scrub' area.

Sourcing some more items to complete the cache as we didn't have enough.

A new cache is being constructed.

Cache is missing.
Disabling while we recreate and reconsider hide options.

Gheez! Fun! Awesome! Grr!

Not sure what to feel about this one. Anyway we located and signed and we’re on our way!

Tftc

This was fun. Thanks Gismo's Gang. Great cache.

Lots of fun. A definite fav point. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. Concentrating on finding caches of special interest today as we move on toward Adelaide. TFTC Gizmo's Gang

Had to stop for this one on our way home from the Millicent mega event, well worth the stop, haven't seen that before! Fav from us! Cheers cobber

Gr8 hide. Thats 4 now.

Found on a rainy and windy day!
First thought: oh, this cache is easy!
Second thought: what's this?
Third thought: good there is five of us search!
Nice cache thanks!

We were looking forward to getting this cache all weekend. It was as fun as it looks! Found by Cache in the Hat TFTC!

I visited this one some time back, well sort of, I was there, but the cache wasnt. Well, more to the point, I was not where the cache was. The cache has had a rejuvenation since then, and I was impressed. I decided to sit down to work out where the log was, and it was wise, as I made it about 70% of the way around the course before the score sheet presented itself. I am glad I was sitting under two really leafy bushes to do this.

Congrats on the effort and the work on this cache, a FP left for you.

Best we have found so far. Such dedication to the cache provider. Such a great find!

So many caches to find in the area around Murray Bridge but with recent hand surgery it was decided a relatively easy day was the go grabbing just a few local caches on each side of the river between the Bridge and Wellington. A delicious lunch was also enjoyed at the Wellington pub

Having read previous logs we guessed what we might be in for here and were’t disappointed. After searching 2/3rds of the possibilities Geohubby was the lucky log finder

Many thanks for this one Gizmo's Gang and of course a favourite point on it’s way

After driving DPA down to, but not around, The Bend I set about finding what I could find in the surrounding area. Firstly it was off to Sherlock to finish off, again, The Great Detective series. Then north to Karoonda for the AdLab there and all Karoonda physical caches. Then down to Tailem Bend to fill in time until DPA needed picking up. Ended the day with the AdLab, 32 physical caches and no DNF's.
Hadn't read description and was wondering why cache was so heavy until I got the lid off. Log was found after examining the 75th of 134 items inside. I'd say that's slightly worse than average but I liked it anyway.
Thanks to Gizmo's Gang for putting out this cache for me to find

Relocated as natural camo has depleted in former location.

Contents replenished and cache relocated, (almost back where it started)

I had an absolute ball with this cache , it was a lot of fun TYFTC

This is almost ready for replacement.
Will be back online soon.

Replacement coming along nicely ... should be ready soon.

Well that was a comedy of errors!
After a DNF 2 days ago Mr Gizmo went and checked and found the cache.
After another DNF today I queried where he had found it. "In the same place it was last time I checked." His description of the location didn't sound correct. So off we went. Cache was 42m NE of posted coords, almost back in it's original location before it went missing and was replaced 6.5 years ago!
Sadly less than 1/3 of the cache contents remain so I have disabled this listing while we make repairs.

No luck here. Thought I had the right tree but nada

Disabled while we make some repairs.

had a fairly good look but couldnt find it, I will come back another day when time permits

Checked and cache is still in place,

Mr Gizmo visited today and CITOed a significant amount of rubbish.

Nice and creative cache but the place is a garbage dump, especially when following the coordinates

A nice easy find while in Tailem Bend mopping up the few caches I hadn't found yet. While waiting for the travel restrictions to lift. The cache was easy then came the hard part. won't say any more. TFTC

Found,a great cache but very time consuming.TFTC

By this point (cache number 3 for the day) I realised it was a bit too soon to start caching at Tailem Bend for an Adelaide-Robe trip. Then a cache with 97 favourite points came up. What's a girl to do?

Of course I pulled over to have a look. The cache surrounds was easy enough to spot but finding the log book had me going through about a third of the others. Nice execution and worthy of the hype

Tftc and have another FP.

Day 175 (Friday 21st) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Tailem bend today. A total of 2 for the day and 3090 for the trip. TFTC

I can't believe I found this on my third attempt. I'm not sure what that translates in golf terms, I'd say it's well under par for this hole.

Thanks for the find.

Finally... after all these years... thought i should grab it
Found on the way back home to Mount Gambier after a family function over the weekend.

Very quick find liked inside cache cleaver found with Lonely ra

Hahaha what a unique cache. Can see why so many favourites. Also an extra surprise at the bottom of container. Cheers!!!

10/10 from geohusband. 12 over par.

New Logsheet.

We were 10 over par today and were happy to have found it! Very clever hide and well for the fav point. The logbook is full, we didn't have that size on us to replace for CO sorry. TFTC

Omg!!! By far the best cache we have seen in ages!! We were 8 over par today, and nearly lost an eye courtesy of a branch under the tree, but got the goods!! This one gets a fave from us when we have more!! Tftc!!

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. It only took 15 to find. Very clever

I have driven past this cache many times but always been going the other way, today I made an effort to stop and finally have a go at this one. It wasn’t till the 5th ball left I finally found it. A nasty hide.

A huge weekend away, with over 2000km being driven over 3 days from Adelaide to Mansfield via swan hill and Echuca, then return via Bendigo and St Arnaud. The target was to collect 11 new local government areas and mostly stop and do some multis.

But the main goal was tour of Mansfield, a cycling tour consisting of 3 stages over 2 days (Saturday and Sunday).
Stage 1: 14km Individual time time trail.
Stage 2: 76km road race finishing up old Tolmie
Stage 3: 46km road race finishing up the top of mt bulla.

Wednesday I left Adelaide for Victoria via pinnaroo, I decided I would stop when I had enough of driving. I camped in the back of a cemetery yes a cemetery, nice and peaceful in Nyah. Thursday I made my way from Nyan to Mansfield via Swan Hill, Echuca and Shepparton with 2 trips over the boarder. A lot of DNFs on caches as some were barrow red off due to road works and others I must if stuffed up. I ended up camping the night in Mansfield. Friday I held my event in Mansfield with a big show of 1 (just myself)!!! And went for a drive up mt bulla. Saturday was mainly racing and Sunday after the race I made my way back to Adelaide via Victorias oldest cache and some new roads through the middle of victoria that I had never been on before.. With arrival on Monday at 1am back home. A big trip out and a great weekend away with a little under 100 finds.
Thanks for the cache placements by all the cache owners.

Found while in Tailem Bend for work. We finished early today so I used the free time in the evening to sightsee via geo’s. I have found this to be an excellent way to see lots of local places of interest. Thanks for this location. TFTC

TFTC. After completing the caches along the Geopets trail we headed back into town to attempt the balance of caches there. Stopped not knowing what to expect. Thankfully i t was a large so we were closer to meeting a challenge in Ballarat. Did not count the attempts. Suffice to say it was well above par. A favorite from us just because we can.

On a spur of the moment trip to SA from Melbourne for the long weekend and I’m staying in Tailem Bend and touring the country side picking up caches as I go.
Now I must admit I took a Par 27 to find this one and as I have I have done a similar one before i still got a laugh out of this one as I was trying to pick the right one.
Also you get an other favourite for the fun cache as this is what Geocaching is all about.
Thanks Gizmo’s Gang TFTC.

Very similar to an archived cache of mine, Geez I must be Dopey. As the actual log container was damaged, I put the log into a different one. But which one to use for the task? Geez, it's just so hard to choose.

oh there is a price to pay when a cache is found THAT easily!! Wicked, wicked, wicked! Such a ballsy cache and so blatantly briliiant! TYFTC SLTNLN (except a few funny expletives!! ) Deserving of another fave for you. Just had so much fun here - this is what GC is all about !!

Whilst in the area a today Just had stop and see what it was about.
What a ballsy cache.
After checking every one we lifted out.
Found in the last one picked up.
A fav point for the fun.Tftc
