Looked around the obvious spot but did not find. Kids enjoyed a play whilst here!
Found an area that related to the clue, but there has been some bush maintenance near GZ so not sure it is still there. Thanx
We made the area near this cache our lunch time break. Again, no one around so we were able o=to collect and return it to it's hidy hole without going into stealth mode. SL TFTC
Off down the Yorke for a few days with Purrfect Di, Jack, Sebastbat, muggle Alex and Chloe the geodog (cat's crazy staff).
Celebrating Di and Matty's birthdays with a few scenic caches.
Found this cache along the way.
A few metres out but obvious when we saw the spot!

We are coming to the end of our three weeks staying on the Yorke Peninsula, and we will be sad to say goodbye to such a lovely area. We have moved around a bit spending three nights at each of the spots we’ve chosen, and it’s a great way to really get to see so much of what is on offer here. We’ve picked up heaps of caches but, more importantly, we have come to love this region and intend to return here and continue our explorations. Some great bakeries, coffee shops and pubs are also worth coming back for!
Luckily we didn’t have the grandkids with us or we would have been here all day!
No muggles today so we were able to search!

Ol made the quick find thanks to the clue (coords about 7m out). Contents dry but not sure how long it will last when it rains. Very unusual container! TFTC
After reading some logd I worked out where I needed to be looking but still took a lil while as the listed coords kept taking me to the electrical box!
Rescued the tb from the cache before it gets archived due to lack of maintenance! (Who would put a tb in a cache like this anyway?

We headed back to Yorke Peninsular for another visit. Around this time thirty years ago Bri and Sal were preparing for the big day when we became brisal. Geocaching wasn't around back then but people joining together to become as one was, so a visit back was a good way of celebrating. 
But now it was time to head home, I have an event to host tonight . May as well grab a few on the way. [8)]
Yes we had some fun times. My GPS wanted me near the power. Then I looked at the hint. Then I searched for the hint which actually took a bit of time. Once I found that it was an easy find.
Cache is in a poor state and could do with a whole replace. Bags have holes and although summer everything is a bit damp. 
**Thanks JustInKache for this cache. **

Unusual container! All the world is a cache! Found on a fun caching weekend in beautiful Yorkes TFTC
Yorke Peninsula road trip day 3, cache 16. Partially in the open. Have tried to make it a bit more discreet. Collected the TB. TFTC.
Today we explored Port Vincent and then travelled to Port Julia and Black Point and finished at Pine Point 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.

Found it! Nice cache to find while we stay at the caravan park. Here in holiday from WA!
Having a few days in Port Vincent with Budgie23. TFTC. TNLN. It took longer to take photos than find the cache!
Morning out before the heat. We love Port Vincent, always a great vacation and dread heading home. Thankyou for the cache.
Daughter loved this one as she got to play a bit.

#2487 A muggle free zone this morning so we went in for the find. Referring to the hint then doing a 360 degree scan of the area we soon honed in on one particular spot and found the cache, fun times! TFTC JustInKache.
On our stay in Port Vincent during December I was pleased to see plenty of geocaches on the map, which would keep my current streak going. That meant finding just one a day, and walking/driving past others on the way there though, which was a bit frustrating. Logging them all now that we are home and have access to a PC.
I was glad for the clue with this one, as I probably wouldn't have looked there otherwise. Plastic bag has a hole in it and was damp, but fortunately the cache container inside was nice a dry. TNLNSL TFTC.

Couldn't end my trip to Pt Vincent any other way than with some caching. Looked for this one for ages, even peeking at the clue. Took the clue way too abstract (something to do with beer?!) instead of finding the obvious spot. Eventually found after 15 mins of searching and now I feel like a right dork. Thanks for the laugh and the cache 
Early this morning,
on a bike ride around the Port,
this cache left me on the rocks [:o]
I couldn't find a cache anywhere !!
I peeked at the clue,
and even that didn't help [:o]
Until I finally spied the really obvious spot that fit the clue after 10 minutes of searching
TFTC and a fun time

Took a little while to locate the location of the new hint. Came away with a smiley. Muggle husband suggested looking for caches much to my delight. It was far too windy to stay in caravan at Stansbury. Tftc
Found while driving around Port Vincent then out to Port Julia and Black Point to have a look around.

Apologies for the delay in getting this cache up and running again. I have hidden this cache in a new location but will need to change coordinates later. The new clue for this hide is "once you are 'tapped out' of ideas try this spot"...
Seems that this one has gone AWOL - will get a new one organised and ready by the long weekend
A nice easy cache that the hedgehog found just before we were caught in the rain. TFTC in a great spot.

Out and about quite early to explore some of the nooks and crannies of Port Vincent, before packing the caravan and moving to Marion Bay. We have had a fun time in PV and offer a favourite point for the theme of this cache.
Our thanks to JustInKache for placing this cache.

Hi there JustInKache.
We found your cache **"Fun Times in PV"** at 12:04:00 PM today.
This was our 11th find for the day and this makes our find count 13691.
Our cache run today started at a random cache on the map. We then navigated to the one the GPS said was next closest etc, & ended up finding 20 & DNFing 1 today.
Found the cache on the ground.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** Cache needed some maintenance (the magnets have come un-stuck), so we made a temporary repair and restored the cache. It really needs some owner TLC though,
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A smiley badge if the cache was big enough.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Staying at Minlaton and headed out with The Drovers to cache the area to Yorketown, PT Vernon then return. We found a variety of caches along the way and this was one of them.
Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Left Yorketown, and travelled to Minlaton via Port Vincent, picking up caches with Konie.
We travelled some great country roads, and the scenery was stunning.
Even though it was quite hot, we managed to do a few trail and other caches in the area.
Many thanks for placing this cache, JustInKache, for us and others to find.

Found myself in SA for other reasons this month, and McPhan agreed to join me for the trip back. The main purpose was the Yorke P geoart, but we finished these faster than planned, so had another day just cruising around the Yorke back roads, doing caches like this one.
Thanks JustInKache for the series.

9875 and 27th of 163 found today.
Thank you all hiders and maintainers of the caches found today. It's another big day in a week that we found 900+ caches so please, please excuse the generic logs. I hope you understand that with that many find in such a short time they all tend to meld into one another - especially in a middle aged bloke's mind anyway.
We had four nights on Yorke Peninsula during our 5th SA Odyssey and our #rd visit to Yorke Peninsula. Many good memories came from this trip as they have from previous visits.
Thanks for the cache JustInKache and your efforts to provide us with fun!!!
