Visiting from Sandpoint, Idaho, US. Found this cache nearby an AirBnB where Im staying with family. Brought two TBs by for a visit. Earlier, three of us took a dip in Emu Bay and a pod of dolphins swam up to see us. They came to within just a few feet. A treasured memory of Kangaroo Island! Ive attached a pic of some locals I passed as I was walking back to my accommodation. Thanks for the cache!

We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Singapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. This morning we left our hotel in Victor Harbor early to drive to the ferry to Kangaroo Island. We arrived at the ferry way too early but as it turned out there was just one spot left on an earlier ferry. Great, no waiting and more time on Kangaroo Island. Since our B&B is on the other end of the Island we decided to first visit Cape Willoughby. After visiting this magnificent place we drove into the direction of our B&B stopping whenever there was a geocache because caches often lead you to great places. Thus this cache was also visited and the cache was quickly found without any problem. Thank you very much for this cache.

During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia, we arrived in Victor Harbor yesterday and today we travel to Kangaroo Island.After we have checked in at our accommodation there is time to explore the area. This cache was found.**SharkTank**, thanks for the cache.

We have arrived on Kangaroo Island for a 5 day break. We first had this trip planned several years back but that year KI had an extreme fire situation happen and we were offered a refund on our trip which we took. We have waited this long so that the island could regrow and show herself at her best. We have been using geocaching to guide us around and two days into our break we can certainly attest to her beauty. The caching has been interesting and we have many earth caches to write up and send to COs. All the caches we have found so far are in good condition. We did replace one log sheet. SL TFTC

Besides lots of sightseeing, we can't do without caching, of course. That's why we also passed by this place, searched for the cache, found it and successfully signed the logbook.Thank you for hiding and maintaining the cache. Only thanks to dedicated owners is this beautiful game possible.Wir danken alle Cache-Ownern fr ihren Einsatz, denn ohne die Gemeinschaft ist dieses tolle weltweite Hobby nicht zu realisieren.

Approaching the GZ, we passed a couple walking their baby along the road and out pops a kangaroo who ran up the road in front for 50 meters or so before veering off into the bush. So, live kangaroo on KI, check. Had a very nice chat with Jim and Alicia from Adelaide who were here on business and got some great tips as Adelaide is or next destination after KI. You never know who you'll meet while caching.

As for the cache, it was found in short order and in good condition. Signed the log. Thanks

Owl is on Kangaroo Island with Ostrich, Magpie and Bowerbird to celebrate the 80 year friendship of Magpie and Bowerbird. The one advantage for Owl is that Bowerbird is the Magnificent Muggle and absolutely insists on Owl caching. Of course, Owl is happy to oblige. This was found on a long road trip around the island. Owl was hoping for a better view, but that came later.

Mr and Mrs Parrot took a trip overseas to Kangroo island for the week.
We had a lovely time finding caches and interacting with the people selling produce and food to the public.
It fabulous to see the green starting to come baack into the fire ravaged areas.We had hired a house in Kingscote and ventured out each day in a different direction to see the sights and what the island had t off.
We also picked up 60 odd caches along the way.
My thanks for the quick responses to the Geocaches and the virtual cache which we sorted out before logging.
It was good to be able to complete Wonders of the world and become an Ultimate Explorer during my stay.

Drove up and found a cache
