I think this one may have been compromised. Found what looks like part of it that has rusty and fallen to the ground but no log book
OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa Camping nearby for a few days, once wed set up camp we took a stroll up the cliff tops to enjoy the view. A fun cache here that required some teamwork. Tftc
Ocw the Bebes. Camping close by and walked up to get this one. Managed to retrieve and sign the cache. Tftc
Clever hiding spot. I nearly had the cache in hand when a huge searm of bees went through! After seeking refuge in the car to allow them to pass by, the cache was signed. The cache is in need of a new log book. I managed to find a bit of paper to allow a few more signs. TFTC!
Found while visiting Port Lincoln for the week. Today I drove down to Sleaford and Fishers Bay before meeting BantamCT for a hike up Stamford Hill in Lincoln NP. Thanks for the cache Razor Fish!
Vic school holidays so kids and I are road tripping to explore the Eyre Peninsula. Amazing views here. Cache easily found and with some creative thinking log was signed. Thanks for the fun and adventure! Fav added.
We loved this one!! The idea of a micro gave a bit of a hint as to where it would be located and then when I was idly swinging around I heard a clatter and we realised where the cache must be. Brought the car up for height and then found a convenient stick for retrieval but thank you again for this fun one!
Coordinates accurate, logbook full, took nothing left nothing. TFTC!

A quick find on our way from Whalers Way back to Port Lincoln. We can only recommend to get a permit to visit Whalers Way, such a beautiful and peaceful place! We spent the night camping at Red Banks Cliff and drank our morning coffee watching a pod of dolphins play in the water below.
TFTC and for bringing more people out here.

Spectacular views! This cache was definitely a little harder than we thought to get. Although we knew exactly where it was pretty quickly, I had to hop on my partner’s shoulders to retrieve it haha ️
Another cache found with richlink.
A nice quick find while enjoying the view. .
Thank you so much to the CO’s who have placed and maintained caches for the enjoyment of all.

Beautiful morning to be out caching with iluvtrekking. Not much surf happening at present but a few hopefuls waiting on the beach below. Thanks for the hide.
Awesome spot to check the swell all around fisheries, fairly isolated, found fairly quick. GL!
TFTC. I wonder if the surfers were wondering what we were up to as we required a lift from our trusty geo-cruiser!
After wolly not believing me where it was he was sent to get a TOTT to help out! I’m beginning to wonder if he’ll ever learn??
Happy caching and safe travels!

Well it’s 2021 and I have finally said good bye to a not so great 2020 and it was great to finally be able to have a reasonable holiday as I have not had a decent break since 2019.
Made to South Australia and finally crossing the boarder and then being greeted by a couple of very friendly SA police offices for which i had the official paper work to allow me to enter.
After making my way west along the Eyre Hwy I went as far as Penong and the Eyre Hwy which I have not travelled along since the late 70’s when I was on a holiday with my folks and this was the last holiday before I started full time work as a sparkie and finding a few caches as I go.
Geocaching when towing a van is not always easy and I have to be a bit selective on which ones I decide to try and find for safe parking purposes especially along busy highways.
So after leaving Coffin Bay my next destination is Port Lincoln which is down the bottom of Eyre Peninsular off the Flinders Hwy.
I’m hoping for better weather soon I don’t mind it being cool just not rain showers when you are out and about.
Another new day in Port Lincoln and it is time to relocate the van and head down to the National Park so I got up early packed up and headed off.
So after setting up the van at Surfleet Campground it was time to explore the South West area and the weather is finally looking good.
Turned left out of the NP and was looking forward to where this road was going to take me.
After reaching the end of the road at Lone Pine I backtracked and found the way out to Whalers Way and the surf beach at Fishery Bay.
There were a few vehicles parked on the beach and quiet a few brave surfers were enjoying the ideal conditions going by the weather.
Spotted the cache quickly but retrieving it was another thing.
Went back to the Geocruiser and soon found an appropriate TOTT to be able to use to add my name to the log.
Thanks Razor Fish TFTC.

What a cool lookout to watch what's happening on the beach !
Neat hide - not what we'd expect out here [^].

During our new years break, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula to travel around the various coastal towns. We started the trip with Jeep trouble, but then continued in our alternative vehicle without 4WD to stick to the main tourist roads where possible. We travelled south-west to Tumby Bay and Port Lincoln via Whyalla, Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay; west across to Coffin Bay; and then north-west to Streaky Bay and Ceduna via Elliston, and Venus Bay. We then headed back east staying in Kimba via Poochera, Wudinna, Lock, and Darke Peak.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I spent the day around Port Lincoln. We spent the morning seeing the town and marina, and then headed south travelling past Port Lincoln National Park to check out Whalers Way. It was still a little cold and nippy with the wind about, but otherwise a sunny day.
It looks like a great surf beach across the bay! Such great scenic views! We managed to find this cache quick enough, but it just took a while to make the cache retrieval from its clever hiding spot. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Razor Fish for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Cold and wet kids and pouring rain made this a tricky one for us... Unfortunately a DNF.
A beautiful day out here at Fishery Bay, in the water, whales out further and Mr Suelee found the tricky cache while I was admiring the view. tftc
Quick find for us today in the first place we checked gotta love that, found a TOTT to retrieve from the sneaky hide to add our name to the log

Day 6
I drove out of memory cove where i spent the night and via a few more caches dropped off the key and decided on the spur of the moment to go to whalers way for the afternoon. Then staying one more night in Port Lincoln before going back to chasing kayak caches.

Very hot today around these parts. Enjoyed a day trip out to Steaford Bay area. The coastline was so pretty and reminded us very much of home in the south of Western Australia. TFTC
Found on a weekend away, just hubby and I. Lovely weather. Easy find. TFTC.
Good hide in a spectacular location. Thanks for bringing us here Razor Fish!
We spent the night at Red Bluff, on Whaling Way, and found this cache as we drove out there. tftc.
Found this one after following a few wrong leads. Proud of my lad who stubbled across this one. A quick retrieval and we were on our way. Definitely no broken glass where the cache is. TFTC
22nd sept. Out and about with &0thers while staying in Port Lincoln and having a day at Whalers Way. Stopped to enjoy the surf and pick up this one. Read the previous log and assumed that the broken glass was removed. Ouch it wasn't surly common sense prevails and we should be mindful of those who will be following and leave things safe. Excellent hide. Thanks for the cache
We were with xambo4u travelling home, stopping on the way - thankyou for the cache.
Someone has shoved a broken glass bottle neck with this cache. Cut myself getting cache so please be careful
Excellent hide! TFTC. Found while camping in the Lincoln national park for Australia Day.
As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache.
Headed out to the Whalers way for the afternoon and grabbed this one as we were close by. Nice views from here.
Thanks for being part of our great adventure.

Thanks for showing us this spot on our trip.

The cache was a nice easy find with no muggle intervention [^]

After seeing 2 snakes between the last cache 'A whale of a Tale' and here Mr Beetle was sent to find this one. From the safety of the van I could hear some swearing and cursing but he did eventually return with a log for me to sign.
The surf was great today but there was not a surfer in sight. As we used to say back in my youth, 'they probably driving around in their panel vans with their surfboards screwed to the racks on the top'!!
Thanks for the smiley.

Found during a lovely drive of the southern EP and introducing friends to the joy of Geocaching. It was a superb location (logged 18/7/16 - yes, two years late!)
Miss GG and myself were on Mini camping Holiday in Port Lincoln and we decided to break up our drive around the area and grab some caches on the way.
We hand picked all the caches this time on our way over and the caches that we did in Port Lincoln as its quite over whelming arriving at a new location with so many caches.. at the end of the day we use caching to make the drive to a location more interesting and not to do every single cache in the town.. as that will be no holiday at all. Gotta leave some for the next trip right?
Please forgive us for a generic log, as we are logging days after doing these caches, We enjoy the challenge of every cache and we try to put custom comments on the ones we remember.
Today we were making our way south for a little explore
Great cache location.. and a brilliant view... tricky little sucker... but i had the right sticky tool in the boot
Thanks for the cache Razor Fish
Until next time - First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Today was Darknstormy and my first full day in Port lincoln so we decided to make our way south for a look around
The day was looking to be great, weather was beautiful and some great sights were in store for us today
I apologize for the Generic logs but as we are logging afterwards all that was done becomes forgotten..
What a tricky little sucker.. we could see it and feel it but couldn't grab it till Darknstromy had the right tool in the boot and the cache was in our hands
