No luck. Searched high and low. Climbed and crawled and still nothing. Maybe worth a check up?
Found what an amazing place. We saw the bunker and found the cache. Loved it!!!

Knee deep in grass how the heck is it not flooded with water? Leave pen please.
Found it ease, fascinating location. Log was soaked, though, and signed with difficulty. TFTC
Finally found you!
But you're wet and have a damp log and you were out in the open... So I put you up where I thought you should have been but haven't been able to change the log cos I didn't have any left after replacing a few today. Maybe a new cache holder?! TYFTC SLTNLN

Found 28/7/18. Nice location. Needs maintenance as it is leaking. Left several swaps. TFTC.
We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.
Now camped in Tanunda. Today we headed into Gawler to visit Uncle Dan and picked up a few caches whilst in the area. Pretty good day with it reaching 14degrees and next to no rain. Not too windy either.
16 but 2 . We managed to find your cache.

I was NOT dressed properly for this search.. Thought it would be a different search and so left before my uniform was totally covered in stuff!! And the shoes were NOT RIGHT for the job at hand... Searching was abruptly ceased when I slid down!!!
Eye spied, Eye found, Eye logged, Eye left. Cache replaced. What a beautiful tree!
Found it nice and easy after the short stroll. The log was a bit soggy but I managed to sign it.
Thanks M&Mob and Dancing Wildflower for the cache

Found with group of students from Gawler and District College during activities week. Tftc
Hi M. We also remember when Reid Reserve was wild. It has changed a lot over the last few years. TFTC. Looking forward to finding your other caches.
Today Linda from 3LG and I explored the Gawler area.
We had a great time walking and driving the area.
A beautiful sunny day to be out and about.

Drove around to the closest parking co-ords. A short stroll and a quick find. Some water in the container so I drained that off, it's still moist inside but the bag is keeping the log book dry for now. Cache is sitting on the ground, in the hidey hole so I dare say this area is fills with water when it rains.

FInally made it to this one. Even though it was a very warm day, there was a coolish wind blowing through here. Kinda weird, but noice.
Thanks to M&Mob and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Aussie Mark and Mary were in the area grabbing a few caches in between lunch and heading into town for some shopping. We were not dressed for high terrain so thought this would be fine. No dog with us either, but Cooper, the Chocolate Labrador from a nearby home came with us. Apparently we should feel very impressed as Cooper doesn't walk with just anyone.
Mark ended up going for the find as my skirt and dress shoes just wouldn't be able to get through the almost head height grasses. Wouldn't want to do this one around snake movement time. Luckily none seen today. TFTC M&Mob

Found by Mary & David at 1105. A great place for a walk. Lovely morning, the sun is warm, and there is a blue sky at last. Excellent facilities here. Our thanks to M&Mob.
Thankyou for the cache. Five grandsons had a great time looking for these local caches.
CPWanderer & I continued our walk from WTD up.
As it was a mild day I was hoping that no creepy critters were hiding near gz.
Thanks for the hide M&Mob

Out for a day of caching in the Gawler area with Mattycat, again while walking by torchlight it wasn't long before we found the companion to up TFTC M&Mob
Found It!
A nice little walk and an interesting spot for the cache. The spider webs were removed before the cache was retrieved!

Following the trails from Dead Man's Pass we reached GZ. Mrs SA4agers had to point out the correct spot to me as I seemed to have suffered from a case of cache blindness! Signed the log and then headed back along the trails to Gawler main street to see some local art in the Gawler Institute. TFTC M&Mob!
I had an appointment in Gawler this morning before I had to be at work this afternoon.
That left just enough time between the two to park Harry, let Brodie out and go for a walk in the park
Brodie thoroughly enjoyed his wander and I enjoyed finding this cache
Another amazing item at GZ. I had fun inside it but Brodie wasn't too keen on joining me. Considering he has been inside How Low Will You Go 3 times, that made me laugh

Its a wet day, we started our day at the markets. In the afternoon hubby watched the V8's so I wandered along the river bank walk cach hunting.

We found this one straight away. ... it was on the ground . We placed it back where we thought it would have been.
These ones were my closest to home and I thought that I should probably take the dog for a walk. So I went to Gosford st. where I happened to live (next to the RSL) when I was a lot younger, parked the car and took off in the right direction.
From a tree on a mountain to a tree in a valley. If I was any bigger I would have struggle to get this cache I think.
I saw the air raid shelters from the corner of my eye and decided to go from a walk and investigate. I really wish i could go in and have a look at what they are like inside. I need to know in case there is a zombie apocalypse. I wonder if all the shelters are link by under ground tunnels ?
Thank you for giving me an excuse to take the dog for a walk.

Please note that two of the caches in this mini series are temporarily disabled. Wild Place Down and Wild Place Up are accessible but should be treated as stand alone caches for the time being.
We wanted to find a cache today to fill in a gap on our geocalendar. This was one we hadn't searched for close to our current digs so on our way out to a family brunch we stopped by to grab this one.
Geohubby carefully retrieved the container under strict instructions not to get his shirt dirty
we signed the log and replaced in it's hidey hole.
We'd love to know about the nearby concrete bunkers under the rise?? Fascinating.
Many thanks for the hide M&Mob....woohoo...only two more days to find a cache this year and we've done it

Haha!! Now that we have logged the cache we were reading the description and see that the concrete bunkers were, as we suspected from a previous war! Thanks for the info
Our second find in the series. A nice stroll around to here from around the bend. Very interesting little area with these large trees in lots of small craters. It almost looks like the trees were there first, then all the earth built up around them. Wonder what the history of these is. Very cool tree at GZ.

Mrs Millsmob was heading into town(Gawler) to do some shopping,Thought we'd get dropped off nearby to find this series today..Found on the ground so tucked it in a littlemore.Left another hatpin here too..TFTC
Thanks M&Mob and Dancing Wildflower for placing this great hide. I have never been to this park before. I was wondering what the covered over openings are in the hillside?

Found this lying on the floor at gz, think it may have just fallen so replaced in the obvious place. On such a hot day we thought we would get this on the way back to the car TFTC
Headed out with Blackadder's to grab a few caches before the heat of the day.
Cache was found on the ground after signing was replaced in the obvious place.TFTC
