Investigate This Too ... Port Wakefield, South Australia, Australia
By postiegirl06 on 06-Jun-14. Waypoint GC56D63

Have decided to archive this one, to allow a more local cacher to have this spot.

Searched for this one this evening but no where to be seen especially when following the hint.

Will come out and recheck this one as it might be missing.

Three sets of eyes looking, but couldn’t be located this morning.

Did not find today but we found a nut

Stopped by here to investigate as the sun was setting, on my way to the yorkes and came up empty.

Investigate This Too ... was transferred from DustyandDizz to user Aussie M & M

[:o)]

In Adelaide for a reunion and family visit. And of course grabbing some caches.


___________________________________________________________________

Thanks DustyandDizz for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 11:51:00. This was my Find 53 for today out of a Total number of 81 Finds and 4 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4516.

Good spot. And nice bit of history.

I have driven past this one many times, but today was a chance to stop. A quick find. Then I opened the container and the wind got hold of the log book (it’s blowing a gale out there today). That’s when the chase ensued. About three attempts and 20m of travel to retrieve the log sheet, I then signed it and returned it to its secret hiding spot.

Thanks for the cache postiegirl06.

The last cache for the day as we return to Port Wakefield after the SA Premiers series and Liz’s 60th birthday celebration series.

Quick drive by on our way north. TFTC

Quick easy find. TFTC TNLNSL

Leaving the Yorke Peninsula, and heading to Port Wakefield.
We found a good variety of caches, many were of a high standard.
Many thank to all the CO's who placed these caches, it made our trip very enjoyable.

Dusty and I called in on our way North today and found the original cache easily, it's well tucked away, thanks from Dizz (formerly postiegirl06)

Searched everywhere, behind ship, sign, near trees etc. But dnf

Well had a good search but sadly no luck

found on route to port Augusta then on to whyalla for the long weekend. quick find.

TFTC. Great spot for a hide.
Ship ahoy!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Heading past while driving through the area for work and needed a break from driving and this cache was in the ideal place for a stop. Had a good idea where the cache might be so parked as close to GZ as possible. With the engine running I hopped out of the car and wandered over to GZ and located the cache in the first place I looked. Gotta love that. Extracted log signed and replaced. Have driven past this many times without really knowing what it meant. Now have the knowledge and the smiley.
Gratias pro cache Postiegirl06

Visiting from Perth. Stopped to log this hide. Thanks for showcasing this region,

Found it with Davidwazza. TFTC

Pulled over as we were coming around, and I’m sure we looked sus to the rush of people coming through Port Wakefield for the holidays. Managed to find a few quiet times to take and put back the cache, and is in good shape, thanks.

Found with superman_22

Found with Northstar76

I did 2 lots of investigation today and this was the first. While Mr Flinders was leaving his mark on the coastline all those years ago my more modest goal today was to do some damage to the local powertrails,
Thanks postiegirl

Today we explored Port Wakefield area and surrounds 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.

**# 17990** Found on the SA outback leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A fine Spring day for a drive and a few caches south of Wakefield.
Not many muggles around today, and a few quick finds.
Thanks for the cache postiegirl06,
***Roostaman***

Heading to York's today for a few days of rest, relaxation and caching.

Have been meaning to stop and do this one for a while and today was the day to get it crossed off the list. Unlike the usual wizzby I made sure I slowed down as I approached so I could pull off.

Found 14 September 2017

Quick easy find on the way home to Port Pirie from being in Adelaide for the footy finals. Adelaide crows vs GWS. Couldn't access geocache due to spiders everywhere.

Easily found

Didn't need to do too much investigation here. Found on the way to Wallaroo TFTC

Our day 4 of caching in SA with Noodles22. Quick find was made as the Suns rising. TFTC

Found on the 04/08/2017 at 7:39:00 AM.

After a great caching road trip out to the Yorke Peninsula with J+J, we unfortunately met out half way point and had to start heading back home. We had another two power trails to complete on the way though.
After the heavy rain a couple of days earlier, the dirt roads were still soft but managable.
In the end we managed to find 158 caches and make our way back into VIC again. Tomorrow we have to cross back to NSW and hopefully still get our cache find count up.

Thanks for the all the caches.

A quick find as we continue on to Port Pirie for the day. Lots of ducks on the water across the road today. Tftc

On my way from Mount Gambier to Edithburg for a long weekend of fun and games. Having driven past this many times, today I had the time to stop and make a quick find.
Thanks

Woo hoo, another June Long Week End is almost here. Yes it's only Thursday but after picking up mogni from the airport we started our trip from there. Target for tonight is to get to Port Wakefield so we can get a head start on getting to Edithburgh tomorrow. Of course we just had to grab a few caches on the way. [^]
Almost there we stopped in here. Being after dark and a weeknight there was little traffic passing. The hardest part of doing this at night is the lights that illuminate the sign are soooooooo bright. I mean burn you retinas out bright. So bright in fact that we couldn't see the cache staring us in the face for quite a while. That's my excuse anyway. It was one of those head slap moments when we finally found it. What noobs.
Thanks postiegirl06 for the cache.

With the June Long Weekend event coming up, and a cache or two to place by me, I wandered over to the Yorke Peninsula to do some reccy work and source some local information. I found this cache on the way and it broke up the drive perfectly. Cache was in good condition and found quickly. I found the first part of this bookmark some time ago while on another trip, thanks for bringing me to this interesting location.

This was find number 1 of 1 for the day for me. TFTC postiegirl06!

Nice quick find thanks to the clue. Breaking the journey on our way to the Copper Triangle. Thanx

Arrrghh by the ship

Before attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs we're spending 5 days in SA mainly around the Yorke Peninsular.
Thanks postiegirl06.

A week out before the Alice Springs Event, we decided to travel from Adelaide to Yorke Peninsula for our stay.
Due to the large volume of caches found and limited internet services I am doing a generic logs. The caches found were in different shape and sized and certainly took us to spots we normally would not have visited.

Thank you to all CO's.

Found whilst out & about doing the Letterbox series. Thanks CO and TFTC

After driving past this one many times, today we actually stopped and found the cache. TFTC

Tftc. Nice stretch on the way home.

Day Ten of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are on the move again. Leaving Victor Harbor for Moonta.
We left early and got to Two Wells for morning tea and our first caches. Then doing the odd cache on the road as we rounded the Gulf of St. Vincent.
As we were coming from down south, this was really Investigate This (one).
When we eventually got through town the other one was easy!
Thanks, Robmc.

#11733. Day 10 of our SA holiday. After an early start from Victor Harbor we headed for Two Wells with our final stop Moonta. We picked up caches along the way as they popped up on the radar. A nice day of 20 finds and one DNF.

We investigated this one first as we were heading north. The log book is almost full - will need to be replaced soon. A nice welcome to Port Wakefield. A quick find and sign and in to town we go.

Thanks postiegirl06

Found at 17:10
A quick find on my way to Yorkes
Thanks postiegirl06

Taking a group of local and International TB's and Geocoins on a Grand Road Trip.

Thanks for the cache

Always seem to bypass here heading north , then on the wrong side of the road heading home , so it was nice to finally stop and grab this one .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Postiegirl.

a nice quick grab as i wandered the area
Thanks postiegirl06 for putting this cache out for us to find

Found while visiting friends at Parham TNLN Thanks postiegirl06

What would the old Wacky have done if plans fell through...go for a drive and cache of course...so here I am clearing up an old stomping ground (again), and an old friend's now driving up to meet me for a pub meal...nice! TFTC

16:21
On our return to Port Wakefield, in the good company of Suscoe, after successfully conquering an ancient middle eastern icon, we left part of our teams to address domestic duties and we found this one before we all headed off to a celebratory meal at the Port Wakefield pub.

Our thanks to postiegirl06 for placing this cache.

Suscoe enjoyed a delightful Saturday travelling around the upper regions of the Yorke Peninsular in the terrific company of Phetlern.
We found caches from Port Wakefield all the way across to the west close to Wallaroo and south towards Moonta and in Kadina.
It was a cold start to the day with some sunshine but that was soon to end as cloud moved in and the pleasant day became a little cool.
We found caches in the Pyramid series, various multi’s and a range of traditionals as we travelled around. Many were in good condition but there were a number of caches that were looking quite sad.
Thanks to postiegirl06 for creating these caches for us to solve and find

We had a lovely afternoon caching. trying to avoid the rain showers.

Today we travelled from, Moonta to Adelaide to drop off Muggle Vicki at the airport. So we did a few caches on our return trip from Adelaide back to Moonta.. I have travelled from Queensland to meet up with Muff1 for a Geocaching extravaganza on the beautiful Yorke Peninsular.

My sincere thanks to Muff1 for providing me with the opportunity to join them on this geocaching holiday.

A big thank you to all of the dedicated Cache placers who have made this possible.

This one gave us a good old belly laugh, as we got out of the car I mentioned that I believed that it was " -------" and Speedmistress thought that I meant something else. This put us in two different places. So as I had the cache in my hand and Speedmistress asked me what we were looking for I described the cache container in detailed, uhm got a laugh out of this.

First we must appologise for the generic logs.

We came to Yorke Peninsular with Speedmistress who hails from Queensland to cache our little hearts out and this we are doing.

We solved loads of puzzles prior to coming and with all the earth, multi, trads and puzzles there are here we were never lacking in variety.

When we found caches that needed repair we have done our best to do what was possible, unfortunately we have now rum out of spare containers, so no more repairs can be done. We have enjoyed the scenery, the walks, the animal life and the challenges that was encountered while traveling the Peninsular. Not all the caches have been attempted due to time restraints but those have been earmarked for future visits.
We also would like to thank Speedmistress for supplying our geocaching chariot.
A huge thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches for us to enjoy.

Seemed like an ideal time to grab this one on our way through. An easy find and sign. Though when it can to replacing the cache, a long line of cars and trucks came seemed to come out of nowhere It's always the way, lol. TFTC!

Found with Zobo04, Borisb&Natasha and Bounty Trackers. Heading on our way to The York Peninsula for Easter and to catch up with the rest of our group. Sorry for the late logs life sometimes has an uncanny way of getting in the way. Thanks for making our trip fun and TFTC

Geo Nerds Yorke Peninsula caching exposition consist of Borisb&Natasha, Zobo04,De Ja Vu, KTCvic, Gonefishen07, Velocachu & Bounty Trackers.
Gonefishen07, Zobo04, Borisb&Natasha and myself Bounty Trackers left on Wednesday morning with one objective, to get Gonefishen07 cache finding count higher than KTCvic who was about 100 cache in front. We spent 2 days straight chasing caches all the way from Gippsland in Victoria to The York Peninsula in SA, where we finally got 8 caches ahead of KTCvic. The smile on Gonefishen face said it all ( I think the comment was made CATCH ME NOW Trenty ).

Along our journey we made a side trip to Gawler to get the multi Fort Knox cache which was on our hit list. What a brilliant cache. Well worth the detour. It will be getting a favorite point from me.
On Friday Velocachu, KTCvic & De Ja Vu graced up with there presents and it was time to start the Yorke Peninsula Geo Art Starting at Hook then Jellyfish, Fish, Anchor,some of Fish Tales,Sammy Starfish and most of the Boat, we then did Sally starfish, and the rest of Fish Tales and then finished with the leftover boat.

Milestone achieved

Velocachu 500
Zobo04 2000
Borisb&Natasha 2000
De Ja Vu 3000
KTCvic 4000
Gonefishen07 4000
Bounty Trackers 4000

Thanks to all the cache owners for the effects in placing such a great series we just loved it.

A BIG THANKYOU to Kate,Rob,Sioux,Katy,Trent,Leesa,Campbell & Zoe for a fun filled Easter long weekend, I had a great time with lots of laughs, thanks again.

It was with great excitement that I headed to South Australia with the Geo Nerds consisting of Gonefishen07, Bounty Trackers, KTCvic, de ja vu, Zobo04 & Velocachu.
I have never cached outside of Victoria, nor in a group and I was really looking forward to it.
Every single one of us achieved a very memorable milestone made even more special because they were achieved with very special friends.
As we worked through each geo art I was amazed how quickly we all fell into a rhythm like well oiled machines, finding more caches in a day than I had ever thought possible.
Thank you so much to the many COs for the time and effort in placing their caches. I'm sure it enables many groups like ours to get together, have lots and lots of fun and form life long friendships, all in the quest for little pieces of treasure.

Found with Gonefishen07, BorisB&Natasha and Bounty Trackers on our way to an Easter weekend on the York Peninsula. We had a great time thanks to all CO's for the fun times. Sorry for the late logs. TFTC

Having had surgery and been housebound for the last 6 weeks we decided to go for a drive on this gorgeous day, so off to Port Wakefield we went. A quick easy cache, lots of cars around. As it turned out our GPS failed so this was the only cache we completed. Great burger and chips at the Big Burger Shack - highly recommended. TFTC and bringing us out and about.

The area was a 80/25/80/50 roadworks zone, so it was an ideal time to stop. I investigated and came up trumps. Cheers Postie .

It was now day 3 for Sorceysal, Tess the Geodog and I on our unexpected trip over the border to hit this cache rich state, grabbing a few of the multiple series here on our way to the famous 'fish' series.
We free-camped in the church yard last night in Avon, and set about to finish this series before heading down to Pt Turton for the next leg of our journey. A day of over 140 cache finds.

My thanks to postiegirl06 for this one
