In Tooooooooo Deep... Yorketown, South Australia, Australia
By ajkr13 on 24-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4KRCT

Owners of property near by cut down trees and was cache was relocated south. Causing confusion to owners of house by visiting cachers.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Geocaching Australia were contacted by the landholder:
" Honner ave Yorketown 5576 SA
Geocache was located under a tree which has been removed in a position where there now is a driveway. It has been shifted south on private property and has created confusion for geocachers. As the owner of the property we would appreciate it gone or have it’s location corrected. Thanks in advance. Joe"

Please remove. Thanks.

Looked around but as tree gone & area messed up. Cache needs checking

Tree chopped down and cache gone

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Possible this may have been it
Merry Christmas fellow geocachers
Keep smiling

Fence ripped up and a tree been cut down. Think it’s gone.

DNF
But this might have once been the cache (see pic )

Fence has been ripped up and no sign of the cache. If would be good if someone could check for its location

A nice quick find. Nice work on the container. TFTC

it was very tricky. it has been moved down about 10 metres away. under a piece of bark. a local helped us find it.

This cache is on private property. The owner had no idea what we were doing until we explained it to her. She was fine with it. I suggest the owner reposition this cache.

Found it where it the previous cachet said it would be. TFTC

We found the cache on the ground as the tree has been knocked down. We placed it under the next tree along hopefully you can maintain.

Day 203 (Thursday 19th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Warooka today. A total of 7 for the day and 4747 for the trip. TFTC

Found it

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Left our camp at Mozzie Flats to head into Yorketown for provision. That done, we cached our way home.....

Found as per last log. Waypoint taken for future reference. Thanks ajkr13

Found it- the property owners have demolished a row of pine trees & shifted the geocache further south, so the co-ordinates are wrong. Clue = bark

After our big day yesterday we had a leisurely start today not getting up quite so early! Packed up, got all the caching stuff ready and checked out of the cabin then headed out to find another 40 of the Gone Fishn' series before heading down to Yorketown for a few puzzles we had solved, a few multis an Earthcache and some targeted trads along the way. [^]

Today wasn't so much about the numbers and we had a good day finding lots of caches in great spots...much more enjoyable than the power trails and Michells&hound found her 10,000th cache which had been her goal for the weekend. I hadn't any more goals for the weekend after finding my biggest one day number, so it was a relaxed afternoon.

After a relatively incident free couple of days today we had a few...maybe tiredness!! I came out reasonably well except for a big angry spider that didn't like me disturbing his home and gave me a little nip, nothing bad though. I also nearly stepped on a blue tongue lizard that was sunning himself right where I was walking.

We found all the caches we looked for but had to PAF a couple of times for one that had been moved with no updated coordinates and a micro on a gun!! We were very pleased when we found both of these. We ended the day with 66 finds which gave us a good number for the weekend and we were very pleased with ourselves.

The weather again was kind to us, quite a cold wind blowing for most of the day, but the rain held off until we were driving home. [^]

We found this one on our second attempt after reading previous logs and realising the cache had been moved. A message to previous finders was answered quite quickly so we came back and had another more thorough search and found the cleverly constructed cache a few metres from GZ. We were very pleased to make the find after thinking we would be leaving with a DNF.

Thanks for the cache ajkr13.

So last day of the weekend on the YP and around 60 caches found. I hit my 10,000 somewhere along the way will need to mark the milestone by finding the SFE 10000 cache sometime soon.
It was a much more leisurely day today as we didn't plan on breaking any records (other than JJ52 getting more towards her biggest weekend and month records) and also getting off the power trail in the afternoon to enjoy some proper country caching, discovering a bit of history and getting some multis done.
It was a bit chillier today than yesterday but we were still lucky with the weather and other than a couple of showers we enjoyed blue skies and some sunshine. Perfect weather for caching.
We did see a lot more wildlife today, sheep, cows, horses and a sleepy lizard. Thankfully it was too cold for snakes to show themselves.
I was blown away by the pink lakes around Yorketown, the contrast of colours on the landscape with canola, blue skies, cloud and the rich pink of the lake was a sight to behold.
After checking out of the cabin and getting more petrol we collected another 40 trads on the Gone Fishn series and then off towards Yorketown for the 'proper' caching.
We did replace a few caches today but on the whole the caches we found were in excellent condition. Only one trackable found today which was exchanged for another.
Another enjoyable picnic at the Yorketown shelter and then headed back up the YP to Ardrossan where we found a few caches before heading back to Adelaide.
We hit some horrendous rain on the highway on the way home so it was good to have missed that whilst we ere caching.
JJ52 had a bit of a tussle with a spider that was not happy about the intrusion into their tree and gave Jude a bit of a nip. I tripped over some barbed wire but thankfully no damage done and also gave myself a ripper bruise on one of my fingers. I also nearly poked my eye out with my glasses (still sore today, reckon I bruised my eyeball!). I also left my stamp behind at a cache, and by the time I realised we were 70km away, gutted have only had it for a month or so!!! Hopefully another cacher might rescue it. Might need to order another in the meantime.
Once again my thanks to Fishy Tales for their epic series that we are so lucky to have on our doorstep, must have been a mammoth task setting it all up. Plus thanks to all the other cachers who caches we enjoyed on the peninsula today.
Thinking I may now be on course to break my own record for most caches found in a month, but need to keep going this week to achieve that.
Attracted by the FP here we stopped here when we arrived at Yorketown. We had read previous log about the cache not being at GZ due to the trees being chopped down. We thought we had a good look but came up empty handed. We went off and did the Pink Lake caches and I PAFd the previous finders for a hint on where to look. When we got back to Yorketown an hour later we headed back here and eventually made the find (after I had tripped over some barbed wire). This is still a super cache to find just needs the coordinates adjusting a little. We found the cache 2m from the old fence post and 7m from GZ.
TFTC ajkr13, very nice cammo!

Found it

Has been moved by a local due to some stump removal. Couldn't log because pencil was missing and didn't have anything in the car to write with.

Bag was missing, pen/pencil missing & swappables gone.

A good hide but unfortunately a previous finder apparently did not replace it properly. Needs a new log sheet as the present one seems to be temporary fix. TFTC.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found at 14:50 by Olga, with a little assistance from Luna. The cache had been muggled. We found a couple of bits of log book, and added a single page for our own log, but this one needs a visit from the owner.

Good one ajkr13, JB found it by luck, a favourite point from us. Log signed all in good condition

Touring the area on a bleak and windy day. But the sun shone on seeing this beauty. Great camo. Fav from us. Tftc

Summerbub found it
Very clever hiding spot
26/4/19

Facing yet another day of an extreme heatwave, so we slowed down the caching hunt for the day, along with ilook4geo.
It was much appreciated when we found a cache near shade where the signing could be done in a bit more comfort. Only did a short run around Warooka, picking up a few of the caches available. Thanks go to ajkr13 for placing this cache, which was easily found and whose log was duly signed with two more names.

Phew! Another stinker of a day! Still went out caching with goingplaces2, but put less on the list. It was just too hot to be a lot of fun. Had a good hunt and came up with the goods here. TFTC.

Off down the Yorke for a few days with Purrfect Di, Jack, Sebastbat, muggle Alex and the geodog (cat's staff).

Found this cache along the way.

A quick find. Neat.

TFTC ajkr13

Heading back up the YP with tmann421 picking up caches on the way.
Seeing some interesting historical and local sites
Thanks for the placements

In the area with woolwood9 going from cache to cache.
We certainly had another fun day and appreciate the good finds.

No problems here, SL TFTC

Found it

We have a small team travelling to The Yorke Peninsula from Canberra. It was decided by the group before we left that our team name would be DTY, although I act like the boss, I rarely am and so the initials actually stand for - dty73, Tankengine & Youban.

Admittedly we came for the power trails to make up some of our statistics, but we also wanted to check out some of the traditionals as well. This was obviously one of those we wanted to pick up.

It was a straightforward and nice cache to find. I like a little thought and effort put in and this is one of them. Tftc ajkr13!!!

Found with dty73 and youban on our Yorke Peninsula invasion! All logs signed DTY (dty73/Tankengine/youban). Thanks for the cache!

On a caching trip with Dty73 & Tankengine to Yorke Peninsula. Team signed as DTY. Quick find. Kutgw

With the wind eased right off this morning the only issue might be rain today, but even then that should only be passing light showers.
So we are back out chasing caches again!
This time we are again heading south from Edithburgh but inland towards Port Moorowie. Very interesting countryside, all the lakes that randomly pop up add to the character of the surrounds.
Cover always plays a bit of havoc with our GPSr but after a bit of wandering round it found us a happy place!

The Rats, steeba and Hoojar have teamed up for a York Peninsula adventure of massive proportion. With much planning and logistical coordinating, we had a great five days meandering the country roads collecting a plethora of caches. Our journey started with a handful letterbox caches before heading down the peninsula following the “Gone Fishn” series. We followed this up with an array of geo-art images that litter the lower peninsula. Returning to Adelaide we collected a gaggle of old and rare finds which included some interesting earthcaches and virtuals.

My apologises for the generic log, but thanks to all the cache owners and caching buddies who made the road-trip such a memorable and fun experience.

After a review of the geocaching map in South Australia it was determined a trip to the Yorke Peninsula would yield some significant numbers. So, The Rats, Hoojar and I teamed up once agan to tackle the many caches on the peninsula.

We started in the darkness after flying into Adelaide and the next day set some personal records (550+ caches in a day) and milestones before bunking down. The next day was another massive numbers haul which resulted in a bit over 1,000 caches in two days !

Then it was a little more sedate down to the bottom of the peninsula and then back up the easterly side, ticking off a few EarthCaches in the process .

After that, back to Adelaide for some night caching, virtuals and more EarthCaches!

The power trails on the peninsula were great- quiet roads, some great green wheat and yellow canola scenery, coupled with some great company and usual ribbing of each other [^]!

Thanks for your cache- sorry about the generic log. For the EarthCaches and virtuals look out for an email or two shortly.

TFTC!

This was a trip that had been some time in the making. A journey from Wollongong in New South Wales to the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, in search of large numbers. Five days were set aside, and The Rats, Steeba, and myself planned the details out. Lofty numbers were floated; we could find one thousand geocahces... Maybe more! The world was our oyster, all we had to do was make it happen.

We flew into Adelaide and quickly rented our car, then headed off for a series of thirty letterbox caches late that night. We then set up camp, ready for the next few days.

Two days journeying down the Yorke Peninsular saw us collect 550 caches the first day, and 450 the next. One thousand caches in two days! The numbers were phenomenal, unheard of, and excellent! At one stage we found fifty caches in a one hour period! We worked ourselves into a solid routine, and managed to push these numbers without caching after dark. Incredible! We camped out beside the trail, ready to commence again the following morning.

Having reached our goal of one thousand, we rented a cabin and enjoyed a solid relax and beet, and we were then able to dedicate the remaining time to specific caches, mostly Earthcaches to keep Steeba (The Professor) happy, and a good number of Vrtuals as well, as we made our way back from the end of the Yorke Peninsular to Adelaide. It really became a Tour De Earthcache! If your geocache is such a hide, stand-by, as Steeba will soon contact you with our answers.

As is always the case with these trips, the company was the highlight, with banter non stop, the time went by in an instant.

We saw some amazing things, found some excellent caches, and had an absolute blast.

Ticking just over 1300 finds for the trip, you will have to excuse the boilerplate logs!

Thanks to all of the cache hiders for their efforts in placing and maintaining their hides. It was fantastic exploring this part of the world that I had never visited before. Thanks also to my geocaching partners, without whom such a trip would not be possible, nor fun!

Cheers

Found as part of My Annual leave SA adventure, I had a great time touring the Yorke Peninsula and other areas of the state. This was My last day on the Gone Fisin trail, I sure was glad to get it finished and go look around a few towns, I was a bit over looking at wheat and canola. I liked the hide on this one. Thanks ajkr13 (F=38 H=2) for the cache.

Can’t find

Great cache found it easily but it does need a new log book. Thanks for the cache

Yorke Peninsula Day 3: A small break for power trails (after a quick 60 caches from the fishing line...). Then we collected caches around the Yorketown and Edithburgh area and in the Innes National Park. Some spectacular scenery to take in, strong winds to battle on top of cliffs, and another exhausting day. Signed as SWAG-JJ. TFTC!

Travelling down from Queensland with my fellow cachers Snickersallan, Waz and Vik, Ardom, Gcoven and JooJoo57. We have planned a week long adventure to collect all the geoart, the fishing line and anything else we can get. Thanks for the cache!

Day 3: A bit of a slower day today, did a smidge of the powertrail, a swag of traditionals and a few other randoms along the way.

The SWAGJJ team has embarked on day 3 and are enjoying the caching pleasures of the Yorke Peninsula! So much on offer and such a wondrous part of our great land! So many caches makes for a busy and fun filled day! Amazing views today and rather windy ! TFTC

Crusher63 6.7.18. Very clever hide

Ha very tricky - I almost ignored it.
Nice to visit and drive around here in the wintertime. Cold nights, sunny days, and green green paddocks. TFTC

TFTC ajkr13. Very clever. TNLN

All good at GZ.

Someone thought we were lost but we found it !

We have just returned from four days at Port Rickaby.
As the days were in the low forties there was not much opportunity for safe caching, however this was one of a few found and signed.

The trees are calling me

Great find....

Didn't take long to find. Great camouflage. TFTC

Found it after about 45 mins excellent hiding spot!

Good hiding

Over on the York for work and decided to break up the long drives with some caches.

Loved this one, great camo. Thanks for bringing me here and for the cache Ajkr13

Today we explored Yorketown and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Very unique camo! Kids found this one.

Second last day of caching, getting tired. Thanks to everyone for placing these caches.

Last day in marion bay so we went out picking up some caches.Most were traditionals plus a few puzzle caches we solved prior and one multi.Most caches were found quickly, Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches for us to find...

Up bright and early for the June Long Weekend hiding day.
The GOTHs (me, mogni and Alternika) had a great day hiding our temporary caches, attending a flash mob and finding a few caches. Somehow we nicked a tyre which was slowly going flat. A quick trip to a servo where we pumped it up enough to get back to our digs, changed to the spare and arranged to have it fixed the next morning. All this cut into our caching time and so we got ready for the nighttime dinner event and set off early to try and find some of the caches we should have already found that afternoon.
As we pulled up we saw a van parked down the road a bit with their lights on. We stopped and began our search by torchlight. Before long the van had done a U_turn and TiedyeSmilies joined us just as I found the clever hide. Made it a quick find for them.
Thanks ajkr13 for the cache.

Joined up with Alternika and brisal5 for a big weekend of geocaching and preparing for the JLW event.
While out and about we saw some great locations and found some clever hides.
Thank you

Quick find while we collected a few caches in the area before attending tonights dinner event, TFTC ajkr13

TFTC 2553 # great area to explore so many geocaches Having a great time at the JLWE so many new friends thank you for all the geocaches

Mr Tardis was out on an adventure down Yorke Peninsula with Mr froghoppin today.

Mr Tardis found this nice hide in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache ajkr13

2nd last grab before grub time

Montana went wobbly in this location but Brisal5 knew where it was so quick find

Found at 1036. Had a break from caching to do some shopping then started again with this one. Despite it clever camo I was a much easier find than I expected. Some days you can get lucky. TFTC.

Nice hide...tftc...

Visiting SA for a week before going to Red Centre Experience in Alice Springs. Out with joojoo57 and Snickersallan doing caches on Yorke Peninsula then back towards Adelaide. Thanks to all COs for your cache hides.

Before attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs we're spending 5 days in SA mainly around the Yorke Peninsular. Appreciated the variety of containers and places they were hidden - it certainly brought us to places we certainly wouldn't have stopped at. many thanks to all the COs for your time and effort in the placement of your caches.
After two days of geoart we are having a sightseeing and caching run around the middle section of Yorke Peninsular.
Great hide - fav point.

Out sightseeing around all the small towns in the area and decided to pick up a few caches along the way. Thanks CO for the good hide, a favorite point from me and TFTC

Great spot Tftc

#2234 In tooooo deep was the result of a nail in the front left tyre of the geojeep as when it was pulled out it went pssssssssssssssss. We had just got the tyre fixed in town and were on our way again with a nice quick find here of a creative hide. A little trouble getting the lid off and back on but all good in the end.

12687. Albida33, LuckyL10n, fitzy_1965 and Sol de Lune (Team "ALFS") headed over to the Yorke Peninsula to cache around the GeoArt there.

After finishing all the GeoArt, the Mail Road LBH Series and the February On This Day Series, we headed back "home" to our hotel in Yorketown. After dinner we went for a walk for just a couple more caches. This was the first and was a nice quick find.

Thanks ajkr13 !!

Yorke Peninsula 2016. This weekend I joined Fitzy_1965, Sol de Lune and Luckyl10n for a six day trip to the South Australian Yorke Peninsula to get all of the geo art puzzles at the southern tip area. We had a great weekend and apart from about five DNFs were overall very successful. The trip started on Wednesday after work when Fitzy and I jumped in the car and drove to Narrandera for the night. The next day was a long day of driving to Adelaide via Balranald, Murrayville, Pinneroo and Tailem Bend. On Friday Fitzy and I went to Adelaide airport to collect Sol de Lune and Luckyl10n before heading to Port Wakefield and down the Peninsula to get started on the art. Thee days of art later we were all done by lunchtime on Sunday so went looking for another few short series near Port Wakefield. The trip ended with a two day drive home with all four of us via Mildura and Balranald. A fantastic weekend and I cannot wait till we can do another trip !

Thanks.

#5797 - 19:55; Day 3 of the geoart appreciation tour of the Yorke Peninsula for the intrepid Team ALFS (albida 33, LuckyL10n, fitzy_1965 and Sol de lune). After a solid 2 1/2 days of caching we had completed the eight objets de geoart which had been our primary targets. We had then headed north and wrapped up the LBH series along the Mail Road, then east collecting a couple of caches along the way until we reached the 'On this day February' series. Finished off February, then back to Yorketown for a cold beer and a nice meal. After tea, we needed to walk off the huge meal, so grabbed a couple of local caches while we were at it. TFTC ajkr13

Yorke Peninsula trip with albida33, Luckyl10n, fitzy_1965. Logs were signed as ALFS.

Back in Yorketown after a big day out and headed after dinner for a coupel more. No problems here and the cache was soon in hand. Neat little hide.

Thanks for the cache.....

Pretty nifty. Tftc

A quick find as I circumnavigate the town chasing caches. Thanks

Thrilled to find this after a hard slog day of wind and rain and missing caches. Clever simple hide thank you.

I was accompanied by 'Roogles!' & ‘Library Ladies’ on this find. Together, we’ve been geocaching all over Australia for the past month… and I thank you very much for adding to our adventure!

Found with The Jackaroo and Roogles! after finishing the shark geoart and on our way back to Adelaide. We stopped for lunch and looked for nearby caches. This one looked interesting and after we finished lunch, we walked to GZ. The other members of the group were in front of me, when I noticed something interesting. I stopped and took a closer look. It was the cache! Creative container. This one gets a favorite point! We are using the team name Team SoExp. TFTC.

Found while on a Geocaching road trip with 'Library Ladies' and 'The Jackaroo!'
We decided a few months ago that the 'Shark' would be our primary focus for a trip to the Y.P.
We also decided our team name should be "Team SoExp", so that's how we've been signing log-sheets.
After finishing up the geo-art this morning - it was time to find a proper meal as we headed back to Adelaide.
Having done that, we thought that a good way to walk off our meal was to find a good cache.
L.L. made quick work of finding the nicely-designed container.
Good work here!
Thanks!

Not too deep for us, on what became a day of caching in the rain, in the good company of fellow Geelong cachers Suscoe. After three days of geo-art, conventional caches were a pleasant change.
