Unfortunately the unique, 1 of a kind cache camo is now missing. Time for this one to go

Disabled for the time being

Found It!
A quick find here but the logbook is a little wet. The camo seems to be missing to.

Tftc the container is in need of some maintenance, all the papers wet

Container full of water and brittle lid

Hard find but satisfying when we did watch out for slithering wildlife TFTC

Good to follow a MACCA log out here. Love this country.

Thanks DeltaDucks. and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Found by Mary & David at 1445. Love the vegetation around here, but the rubbish dumping is terrible. Heading to Porta Gusta from Port Lincoln tonight, then home in a couple more days. Our thanks to DeltaDucks.

Found kids liked it

Whilst travelling these tracks found this one too...

Spending a few days in Whyalla and found a few cache, or 300!
Had managed to solve all the puzzles before coming over too.
Of the nearly 300 found on the trip over and back from Adelaide, 95% were found within 50km of Whyalla Central, with approx a dozen dnfs also. Amongst all the finds was my 17000th find.
Also managed a lot of 'unloved' finds too.
What is it with Whyalla and mint tins? lol

Thanks

Yay

Nice easy find for my 4 year old.

Found it

Gee

Mmmmm I like this one

Found it. Thank you.

Found at 1114. Staying in Whyalla for a week to break up my drive to WA and to pick up some smileys while I am here. A quick find. TFTC.

GPS was a little off, but found it fairly quickly!

Thankyou

Excellent Smithers

Still there 28/5/2017

#6594 - 15:55; Day 8 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune and albida33, so most logs were signed S.A.L. as a result. Caching in and around Whyalla today and along the roads into and out of town we collected 69 finds and 6 DNFs. We visited many places of interest today in our travels and most of our finds were in good condition. After doing some back road caching to 'fill in the gaps' further south, we were now caching along the back roads to the west of the town and then along the levee. Picked up this cache along the way. TFTC DeltaDucks

Alice trip 2017. Day 6. With Sol de Lune and LuckL10n we spent today caching around Whyalla during a bit of s detour on our drive to Alice Springs. Heaps of caches with lots of DNFs we skipped but me managed a good day of caching. The caches in the scrub West of whyalla were all on very dusty tracks, but we managed most of them.

Thanks.

Albida

On the road to the Alice Springs Mega with LuckyL10n and Albida33. We headed through Burra and Port Pirie before arriving in Port Augusta for the trek up the highway. Collected a good number of caches and all were found with no issues and the logs were soon signed. (Some logs were signed as S.A.L. to save space.)

Thanks for the cache and fun in getting to it and finding it.

Spent a little while searching while triying to figure out if the nomenclature meant anything. Then something caught my eye and it was the cache hide.

Hi there DeltaDucks.

We found your cache **"Maker Madness Creation"** at 12:54:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 15813).

We cached around the Whyalla area today. On our trek we found a wide variety of container types. & ended up finding 20 caches with 1 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels. We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious camo

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Was about 5m from where my gps plotted me. Bit of a sticky situation

Good one!

Good hiding spot.

I was, very generously, offered a trip to Whyalla with Moneydork that was too good to refuse!
Today was a leisurely tour around the Whyalla area which resulted in my finding 48 smileys and with 3 DNFs

Thankfully we found the cache, maybe we've seen a few like this before..although I haven't created one like this.

I found this cache on a return visit to Whyalla.
I lived here for a year, in 2011/12, before moving to Berri, in the Riverland region of SA.
It was great to revisit the Whyalla area and to explore some of the tracks and trails. TFTC

Found it with a little birdys help

Awesome

GET TO THE CHOPPER

Found in the hands of DeltaDucks. Thanks for sharing

Nice hide, found on JLW15 Roadtrip with the gang TFTC. Found after much searching guess a bit of caches blindness

Took a while because gps took us off track but the container eventually found its way into our hands.

Easy find

Top morning for a walk in the bush and to get a or two. Nice hide. TFTC DeltaDucks

Found cache but forgot the pen.
Do have photos to prove find. Tftc

I was asked to get the kids out of the house for an hour or so. So no better way to pass time with them, than grabbing a few caches I have yet to find. I did the new Levee Bank series which was a great little series with all easy finds and great swaps for the kids which they did in every cache. But while I was out that way I had couple of other caches I hadn't found yet too, this was one of them and another quick find. TFTC.
PS, Sorry for the cut and paste logs....

cheers

Finally found it after some help from cache owner. GPS had me 10 metres away. Turned GPS off and restarted it and it took me to it. Thanks for the hide Deltaducks.

Thanks for a fun cache guys. Love your work. We signed the logbook.

Warning this hobby can be addictive.
It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise.

Nice walk out bush

Fun second find

Good hiding place

Found after a bit of a search, the GPS was taking us around in circles. Another beautiful evening to be out and about. Pity I didn't read the previous log about the bull ants. It is amazing how quickly they get on you.
Thanks DeltaDucks for the cache.

A bit of a dusty dirt track to this one and a short walk through the scrub. Cache found after a short search. Clever little micro hide. GPS coords pretty good. Watch out for the nest of angry bull ants in the area though. Tftc

clearing it from my map, there when it was hidden

After travelling through yet another area of urban sprawl we bush bashed our way along some dirt tracks in the campervan to get as close to this one as possible.
Mr Beetle nearly threw this nice hide away. At the last moment he noticed a bit of colour that turned out to be the cache container.
We then crashed our way back to the bitumen road - and obviously took a wrong turn somewhere as we came out in a different spot to the one we went in.
Thanks.

A quick find, and almost a drive by, then a little walk amongst the bush, surrounded by bird chirping away. Brilliant, Cache in good order, nice camo. Thanks for the smiley face, and cache. Cheers. SL

I enjoyed a push-bike ride through the scrub to reach GZ.
It was not far from the edge of the ever sprawling Whyalla suburbia [:o]

I do not think I could live in any of the new houses though.
They are too clinical, too clean, too ... er .... soulless
And with the number of loud and noisy dirt bikes averaging about 4 per household in the area, this is where the skool chids, and adults ride around !!
It must be a really noisy place on weekends [:o]

But TFTC

TFTC

Great spot but no pencil to sign the log

Way out bush..I do wonder how long it will take for the houses to get here. Possibly only a few years I suspect. My GPS took me straight to the cache which was easily found and signed.

I saw the colour through the bush but could not reach it, I like that it has a handle and is well placed.
Thanks.

Another tricky hide , a beautiful day in whyalla , Tftc

.

Our GPS was about 5mts off and we almost gave up until mr 9 used a nearby tree for other purposes and stumbled across it. Made his day.

Went for an early morning cache run with sister from Sydney. Walked the last 500m then after finding the cache realised we didn't bring a pen. So found a stick and wrote with that. TFTC

The approach to GZ from Jenkins Avenue sure looks different than the satellite image at the moment!
Nice hide. FTF at 1116.
Thanks DeltaDucks.
