Had no luck with this one today, a lovely lady who lives across the road saw me searching and came to say hello, she advised me where the cache used to be and said it has now gone missing. Hopefully will be replaced soon.

Bushes were very overgrown where we thought it was and didn’t get a chance to look properly

Thanks to all the COs for making the Eyre Peninsula a great caching destination.

An old favourite, these make for a very quick find now.

Thanks Geo-Ambos.

While on our honeymoon we spent the day caching and walking around Tumby Bay. Great spot for fish and chips for lunch at the beach and walking around the very picturesque scenery along the shoreline tracks, along some beaches and around the point near the island. We picked up the caches on the north road on the way out of town to Port Lincoln. TFTC
 
11-Apr-21
TFTC. Hopefully the hint that we got is the right one as a replacement log was there.
Plus Wolly got his head stuck in the tree!
Happy caching and safe travels!

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

Today leaving Whyalla, we headed down the Lincoln Highway, passing through Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay, Port Neill, and Tumby Bay. Just prior to lunch, we also completed the *Cleve Cleaver* geoart trail. A rather long day of geocaching numbers, but the inland and coastal towns were enjoyable to visit, along with the various picturesque beaches along the way.

It was weird that I ended up finding an old logbook on the ground just near the playground, and so I continued to follow my GPS to GZ, where I came across the cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I ended up adding the older (?) logbook in with the current logbooks. Thanks Geo-Ambos for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Stopped by this one on the road, a quick find was made cache is all good

Today davidwazza and I made our way from Whyalla to Port Lincoln as part of a weekend away to clean up as much as we could. Today was filled with some good and bad times, plus a few car issues along the way but all in all a great day out and 105 caches found in total.
Thanks for the cache

Travelling Australia since March 2014 it has been a while since in SA but enjoying this visit greatly.

After a great sleep last night at Carrow Wells, Port Neill which was so friendly with a great deal at the store for Fathers Day and awesome tourist signage around. Today it was moving day to Port Lincoln, but we decided to stopover in Tumby Bay first and have a good explore. What a pretty town, which had a great vibe to it. The sun came out for a good portion of the day too. Big Grin
