We hunted around the bushes and rocks to no avail. Warned about snakes in the bushes here by a muggle. A good clue might be helpful for us desperados.
Out and about with Mrs & this morning on a walk along the beach front. Easy find. Thanks for the cache
TYFCStaying in Tumby Bay for a few days we set off finding the caches around here cleaning up a lot of unfounds from previous trips, as this is a tourist spot it would be nice if the caches weren't so hard to find, so much area to hide larger caches but the town is full of micros.
Heading back east toward home after overnighting in Coffin Bay. A quick find and log, cache replaced as found. Thanks for placing this cache.
Found and thankful to Add a smilie and TB to a container large enough to hold more than a paper log!! Lol. Signed log. ..all good at GZ. TFTC
Found by Mary & David, in company with pprass (signed as m & p), at 1125. Our third day in Port Lincoln. Today, we cached our way around the local area again. Weather further improved, with only a couple of light showers today. A bit easier to find than the previous one. Our thanks to viper231.
Found at 11:25 AM GAFF5 in the company of maccamob. We signed the log book as "M&P".
We think there is a theme emerging from this CO's hides, but then we come across a small in a position with "indicators" which meant that we didn't have to go routing through the bush and accidentally destroy the vegetation
Saw a Rock Parrot on one of the information boards along the trail.
Thanks viper231.

We found this cache as part of a 4 day trip which went from Adelaide to Sceale Bay returning to Adelaide. The purpose of the trip was to remove Freddo was his home location too near the Clipsal 500 track and for us and Freddo to achieve a difficulty 4 1/2 and terrain 4 cache to make us well rounded cachers. The cache we needed to find was located near Venus Bay and we successfully completed this goal early on Friday morning which left us plenty of time to find "just one more". Loved the scenery and having the opportunity revisit this great area 
Thanks to viper231 for placing this cache.
Thanks to viper231 for placing this cache.In Port Lincoln for a few days and managed to grab a few caches along the way.
Viper was kind enough to join me one night and gave me a tour around his city.
Fly in, Fly out and happy with a few finds.
Early morning walk before work and glad to come up a winner.
I can find this size.

4:16:00 PM. Decided to go for a walk around nthe path from the caravan park and grab some caches. Found the cache and signed log. Spoke to a couple of blokes fishing on the rocky out crop and then saw the parrots. One went in the rocks but came out for the better half to get a photo. Must have been our lucky day. Thanks viper231 for placing this cache.
I've seen some animals during my visit to Port Lincoln but I've seen way more flora....I've lost count of the number of bushes I've stuck my head in!!! Thanks for the cache.
I don't think I have seen a Rock Parrot before !! [:o]
I will keep an eye out for them now
I have also been busy trying to find or hear a Burhinus grallarius on me travels around the lower Eyre
No success there either
[green]Viper231[/green] caches are just as hard to spot though, so I am not short of challenges [^]
Meanwhile at GZ, the cache came to paw pretty quickly
I'm getting better at finding your caches [green]viper231[/green]

Out with sturt08 and duck power finding a few geocaches around Pt Lincoln. TFTC viper231
Found it. Had a fun day out getting some caches. Men against the Lady's. Men won 55% of the caches for the day. Close call
A quick find while on a flying visit to Port Lincoln to pick up a camper van. I was just driving around trying to waste time as I was early and I got to the end of the road, so I decided to check out this potential fishing spot. While here I grabbed my phone and checked for caches, well I just happened to be next to the..... It's hidden by. TFTC.
Fourth find on a four day trip to Port Lincoln and surrounding area. I was visiting with non geocachers so in the interest of group harmony I often curbed my desire to look for "just one more". I saw green parrots on my walks but whether they were Neophema petrophilas who knows. Thanks viper231.
Found by Team GeoCoopers.
While fishing for squid of the nearby rocks grabbed this one.
Thanks Viper231.

Love this walking track, such a good idea, and even better with the caches along it. Tftc
Staying at the Port Lincoln caravan park, while caching in the area.
The cache was found quickly, thanks for the hunt today, viper231.

FTF @ 1130 (clearly devil55 logs finds with their phone!!). Having left Queen cook with a DNF and the prior cache on the trail as a miss, we approached with much trepidation. This one turned out to be an easy find. A great view, well setup, thanks for the Series. Dropped off 2 TB's
