I cannot believe it! Even with the help of a hint I seemingly pored over every inch of GZ and came up empty handed. Here for a week so placing a watch in case anyone finds it while I'm still here. Lots of families in CP atm and by some previous logs it would appear I need the help of ingenuous children....!

A dnf replaced from 2017.Was not too long when we captured the dreaded cannon cache. Now for a stroll on the Lake before continuing our journey home and ending our 5 week absences. Thanks Hurtle for placing and maintaining.

Oh no! Another one. Ill have a seat and sob for a while. Turned my rubber neck around and boom! Football match on across the street. Theyre all watching the game and not me! Tftcsl.
 
16-Mar-24
Family time in Barmera. Somehow, I managed to find this one in the dark with a torch. I honestly thought the time it would take me would be a lot longer and I was sure I'd have to leave this one as DNF, but sometimes these 'micro' caches are not as tiny and their owners aren't as cruel as to place a nano here. Those are so hard to find. I did a little happy dance when I found it, signed the log and returned the cache and were on our merry way. TFTC
 
11-Mar-24
After a week of caching around Adelaide incorporating The Great Leap Forward event, HansandLinda, MeandDe and I are working our way towards Canberra. On route to Paringa today for a couple of days of rest and maintenance. I grabbed this one today on route. Another great day for caching. TFTC Hurtle

TFTC Hurtle your cache Barmera Bazooka that we found today. We had overnighted in Barmera after completing the On Your Bike series by lunchtime Sunday. We decided to move on to nicer surrounds. This morning as we were in no great hurry we (Wollaston and I) went into town to claim the find on the Archie and Ruby virtual and 2 other caches before moving on to meet friends in Paringa.Guns and us usually do not lead to successful finds. Today with a stroke of luck first place I put my hand.Find Count: 19054 .

Just cos you cannot find it, does not mean it has been removed... unless of course you were there with a recent finder whom can attest to it's missingness.

This long weekend, I and J plus the little one visited riverland. We spent two and a half days, visited Nuriootpa, Barmera, Berri, Loxton, Renmark, SA/VIC border, Waikerie, Morgan, and nearby towns. On the trip, we found 55 caches on the way, including Traditional Cache, Puzzle Cache, Multi Cache, Wherigo Cache, Letterbox Hybrid Cache, and Lab Adventure caches.
This was the ninth find for Day 1. This cache was very close to the art work we planned to visit.
Cache has been found in a classic spot. Signed the log, and placed it back.
Thanks for the cache, Hurtle.
