Logs
Travelling Australia since March 2014 it has been a while since in SA but enjoying this visit greatly.
Visiting Port Lincoln we had a tonne of chores but finally headed out to grab a few caches late in the day. We really had forgotten how hard urban caching can be, being muggled out at 2 locations today.
Found the nano but it has no lid so the log is likely to disappear

Another day of Eyre caching with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat and Jack.
Back in Pt Lincoln, we'd found all sorts today. This was one...
Nice big lizard. Only the second nano we'd found all week!

Found on my last day in Port Lincoln between rain showers. A quick urban find and my last find in Port Lincoln. TFTC.
Hi there viper231.
We found your cache **"Tiliqua rugosa"** at 12:01:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 15717).
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around Port Lincoln today. On our journey we found a wide variety of container types amongst our 4 caches (& 1 DNF's) today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**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:** Nothing
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

CPwanderer, GoodLook and I headed off for a weekend in Port Lincoln via an overnight stop in Whyalla 
Our weekend was unexpectedly extended by a day due to illness and so my tally at the end of the 'weekend' was 168 cache finds
Sadly this was marred by a massive 28 DNFs
Port Lincoln, despite being virgin caching territory for all 3 of us, did not provide us with the pleasure that we had anticipated
So many of the caches were bison tubes and those that we did find, quite often were in places where a larger cache could have been hidden
The other issue was the lack of maintenance on many caches
There are people trying their best to maintain the 'wheres wolly' cache hides however their resources are stretched thinly..... so if you are heading over, please pack heaps of cache maintenance containers, bags and log books and help out where you can. [^]
That being said, the trip was still a blast and some great caches were found and great views were seen!
Roaming Wendy very kindly came out with us for the rest of today and as a result, our find count increased as did the laughter in the car
Thank you for your company [^]
Wow! A Viper231 cache which we managed to find
Thanks GoodLook for having a good look

Found while wandering around the town! Thanksviper231 for the hide!!
This was one of the caches found on a three day odyssey on the Eyre Peninsula! Myself, GoodLook and locuscache had never cached south of the Cowell/Cleve area so we had high hopes of some great caching. We worked our way down through Port Neil and Tumby Bay and grabbed those along the highway plus a few a little further afield.
Our time in and around Port Lincoln was frustrating. Lots very small micros, lots of very rusty tins and more dnfs than ive ever had in a day before this. We were very fortunate that local cacher , Roaming Wendy joined as. Her expert knowledge of the town certainly helped. A medical issue had us stay a third day. This worked out very well as we could do some relaxed caching on our way home.
A special thanks to Roaming wendy for her help and to those who hid caches in the area … particularly the Geo-Ambos, Wheres Wolly and Viper231. Special thanks also to my “mildly obsessive” caching buddies on this trip …………………………… amazing fun!!

Woo hoo, we found it!
After messaging Roaming Wendy, she graciously joined us and jumped in our car in order to cache around Lincoln with us (as we'd not been having much fun with all of the DNFs).
Found whilst on a road trip with CPwanderer and Locus Cache, with the aim of the weekend to cache in and around Port Lincoln - fresh territory for us all. We certainly had a great time, however with a DNF rate of about 40% [:(!], it was tough going! We did however thoroughly enjoy the beautiful locations and scenery.
After joking all day on the Sunday we should spend another night in Pt Lincoln, circumstances presented that meant we needed to extend our time away! We took it slowly on the way home which enabled us to once again visit some terrific places

Not sure of actual date of find.
Kids scrambled all over the wrong place before the GPS led us to the correct spot. Geokid found quickly once there. Didn't even try and get the scroll out as I knew I would never get it back in again!!!

Have removed Year of the Horse geocoin and placed in GC3E03W. Sorry but could not log geocoin as the number would not work.
Wow, that is a well suckered nano. I made it pose for a photo that I've attached. Thanks for the hide viper231.
[Blue]# 10726 Found on the SA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
Another perfect spring day for a drive around town while in Port Lincoln for a few days.
Hardly any muggles around and mostly good quick finds.
Logged with permission from CO. Thanks and nice to meet you viper231.

Disabled while investigations are underway in the area. Will be replaced when results from investigation are known. Sorry for the inconvenience to visitors but will be back up as soon as investigations are finished.
Last find of the day after a mornings caching with viper231 and Devil55
We had a great time locating caches and enjoying the company of new friends as well as enjoying the scenery the caches took us to also the variety of the hides
Located this cache after dropping our new caching friends back home
Seem to recall finding a cache at the back of the building a few years ago
tftc
Look forward to catching up when we come back to Lincoln in the future
