An easy find on a short walk along the path. A beautiful day to be on the beach with plenty of others. Found with IRAC. In need of repair.
Found with friends on ideal day for a beach drive. Didn't have to go off the boardwalk.

Headed out along the boardwalk at the start of our walk today. The direction we were going did not seem to be the direction we required and we were just meters from this cache when Andy asked if I was going the right way. After finding the cache we checked our map and yes we were headed in the right direction so we carried on. tftc
After our previous podium finish DNF here we headed out today.
Maybe we could become the first to post dual DNFs?
Sadly there was no such luck today as we found it in the first 10 seconds!
Last time?
Well the usual excuses come to mind
- the GPSr took us too far from GZ
- there growth level was much greater
- Brad is rubbish at searching
In this case
A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B, a big bit of column C
Another blue frownie replaced with a golden smile

A great day caching with Anymules down Goolwa way. He wanted to give the cruiser a drive along the beach to grab a cache to complete his 6th D/T loop. Of course there were a few more to find on our way out, back and about.
With the tide coming in - in fact our outward track had already been washed away we decided we still had enough time for a walk on the boardwalk. Cache was in the first place I tried thanks to some very good coordinates.
**Thanks Hurtle for this cache. **

Had attended the Seaside Nine Event and was asked if I wanted to go for a drive along the beach with sir_spectre and Rod81w to get a few caches. Of course I said yes. [^]
A nice walk along the boardwalk and a quick find at GZ.

Loved the walk through the dunes on a beautiful day. Found the cache but it was lying out in the open. i tucked it back under the nearest bush but the CO might want to check for the correct location.
Spent a little time looking after following the clues, nothing the size indicated found....
A great walk on an uneven boardwalk while doing a scary beach drive. Nice break to stretch the legs. TFTC!
Walked in from the Beacon 19 side on what has turned out to be a beautiful day. TFTC
Even with the spoiler pic and 10 minutes searching I failed completely.

I don't think it's a stinky bush as 'Team Astro' says, it's a very nice bush.
A top walk to the beach on lovely winters day.
Thanks for the hide.

A very nice walk to locate a Hurtle cache. We actually used the hint to locate the cache. The hint could be altered to read:
HINT: look in the very STINKY bush.
Thanks to Hurtle and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! Great spot for a cache!

A short walk up the sand dune was harder than expected as it was quite hot today! After puffing and sweating, we started searching and found shortly after feeling disgusting and happy at the same time we signed the log

Had a visitor from Tassie staying so decided to do a run down to the Murray mouth.
A little caching on the way made the trip.
We didn't know that there was a boardwalk across from Beacon 19.
Thanks Hurtle.

Decided to get out on the first day after storms and look for some caches down south. A nice walk across the dunes. A quick find without the photo. Thanks Hurtle.
I came down here to see the mighty Murray river as it makes it way to the sea and decided to try for a few caches down this way too. A really pleasant walk along the track to the cache. Found the cache okay with everything in good condition. TFTC
Found this cache with TWDG, DJAJ & locus cache
Had never ventured down to the mouth before, had a lot of fun!

Found while four wheel driving along Goolwa Beach on the way to the Muuray Mouth, tftc, happy autumn. DJAJ
thewhitedoggang were going 4WDing at Goolwa so I asked if I could tag along and they said 'yes'
So muggle partner and I met them and their friends, DJAJ, at the beach and thus started a great day out
We went our seperate ways after the beach run and muggle partner and I almost cleaned out Hindmarsh Island before having lovely fish and chips and chowder for tea at the Coorong Cafe van [^]
18 caches found and there was only 1 DNF before we headed for home.
Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

One of the Geo Daughters was visiting a nearby scout camp so we thought we would take the dog down to the beach for a run for a few hours. While down here we thought lets see what caches are down here. A nice little walk through the dunes for youngest Geo Daughter and I . Nice easy find

Hi there Hurtle.
We found your cache **"Beach SNAP"** at 7:20:00 AM today, so this now makes our find count 12707.
We are camped at the Goolwa caravan park for a few days & today's cache run took us to a few in town and then towards Port Elliot. We ended up logging 22 and DNFing 0 today.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where our 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 placing this cache for us to find,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

I parked on the landward side and went for a pleasant stroll to GZ. Found the cache in good condition then continued on to see the sea. An almost deserted beach and rough surf greeted me when I reached the top of the last dune - one of life's little pleasures. TFTC Hurtle.
After not having the greatest weather recently in goolwa while trying to develop a new playspace on the riverfront, i am glad i left this one for a day like today. With the weather absolutely perfect and some time on my hands, i had to go check out this boardwalk cache finally. Was a very nice walk into GZ and after finding the cache i decided to see where this lovely walk leads to. What a beautiful day and scenery to match. TFTC hurtle TNLNSL..

With so many caches surrounding Goolwa, we chose those we could reach on a Saturday afternoon bike ride, to get a feel for the local hides.
Our thanks to Hurtle for bringing us here.

Nice walk to find the cache then with JF & the geodogs continued onto the beach. I have been to Goolwa many times but have not walked this track. SL. TN. Left signature item. TFTC
Beta tester, one of favourite places to spend the day together, swimming and sunbaking!
We were in Goolwa to attend a family wedding,so this cache was a must do .We left it till late evening,and arrived at the cache site with just enough daylight left to find the hide. We then continued on to the beach .A very enjoyable walk.Thanks for the hide.
Found today with Team Eldo. No 7 of 19 for the day.
Nice and easy!

Testing out the new 4wd so thought we would find a few caches along the way. Had a great walk to find this one even with a few complaints asking if we're nearly there. The kids enjoyed the day out and got to see some horses swimming and thought it was cool to be able to drive on the beach. Thank you for the adventure. Tftc sl
it was a scorcher of a day but a great one to spend on Goolwa beach. We were joined by some friends and we showed them what geo-caching is all about! Easy find.
What's going on Hurtle is postie tiring you out.
No puff left?
When I saw Hurtle had hidden it I obviously immediately went to the highest most difficult terrain and was surprised not to locate a cache.
Spent ages working my way down to ground zero in growing disbelief.
The little one with us was growing bored so we headed out with me saying.
Why wouldn't you just hide it here and I don't know who was more surprised me or the cache container when it leaped into my hand.

My family and i decided to head to Goolwa to drive to the mouth. Our great friends the SA parrotheads came along and made the day a blast.
This was the first cache of the day and we found it after we had driven all the way to the mouth. We searched for ever and we had given up when Mr Parrothead says "why wouldn't you hide it in this bush" and then placed his hand on said bush and low and behold hold there was the cache. Many laughs were had
Thanks for the Cache

Wandered over to this one from the Beacon19 carpark!!!! Quickly located in this nice spot!!! Thanks Hurtle for the hide!!
Out and about looking for my 100th cache and this one came in at number 98.
After a pleasant stroll we came up with the goods! Tftc.

The muggle found it. No longer a muggle. Found a little friend to take and move along.TFTC.
A nice day for a walk to the Mouth as I haven't done it for about a year or so. Packed some lunch and drove to the 19th beacon car park. What better way to start the walk than to grab a cache along the way. At GZ, coords had me at 1m so I didn't need the spoiler photo. Seeing as the cache is called Beach SNAP I thought I would upload a couple of SNAPS I took along the way. Thanks for bringing me this way again. TFTC Hurtle
Pleasant drive along the beach. Stopped at the entrance to the boardwalk and checked the logs. FTF still up for grabs. Arrived at GZ, easy to spot cache, opened log book, NO!!!!!! Someone had beaten me to it. Oh well, next time. Tftc, love this part of the world and the sandhills.
Sorry for the generic log.
Kookacrew invited me out for a day of caching and adventure so up nice and early I headed over to theirs, I can't think of anything else generic sounding to write.
Would have loved a sleep in but it beats driving myself so up early enough to jump in the car and explore. Down here was the first stop since it was still unfound. Turns out we didn't get first by long!
Now to make our way upto Strath, show the town what a good cacher looks like, don't think they've seen one yet haha.

FTF with Ride The Tiger @ 0950ish. Followed the boardwalk right through from the boat ramp through to the beach. South Australia sure is a little place, only two people walking their dogs on the beach and we knew them. Accidentally got their dog in the photo too, haha
Our first time doing this boardwalk, thanks Hurtle and Postiegirl for bringing us here and the hunt.
