Fairly quick find, about head height in a really cool canister with some groovy keys attached to the branch!
Paper is too wet to write so maintenance suggested.

Op weg van Port Lincoln naar Flander Range NP deze cache gezocht, maar niet gevonden.
From Tumby Bay to Port Lincoln. This was today's stage and as always we searched and found some geocaches. Many thanks to all owners, which made this trip a little more varied even in not so nice weather.
Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. Unfortunately the log was damp and there was condensation in the container. We dried it out as much as possible during a short visit.. Hopefully the coming warmer weather will complete the drying process. Thanks LIB for the cache.
Yep log is soaked
Caravan friendly

Found at 12:40 PM GAFF1.
This is the last of the EP series of Animal Facts for us [^] We skipped this one on the way down to Port Lincoln and Wangary a few days ago when we went to Tumby Bay and then went onto Louth Bay.
Today we stopped - it was slow going with a stiff head wind - and the familiar container was spotted and we found it odd that it had let in water and that the log sheet was damp [?]
Thanks LíB

Day 3. heading in the direction of Port Lincoln for some 4 x 4 caches in the national parks and the kayak caches down there. Also targeting letterbox and earth caches on route plus the odd multi. I will even make Port Lincoln today. Only stopping for the caches that are bigger than a micro. quick find at gz.
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.
Reattached with new zip tie as the lid was unable to be attached.

After travelling to Ungarra and Tumby Bay caching we are now heading back to Pt Lincoln. A quick find and cache all good . TFTC
Love how these caches are placed. They are safely off the ground away from the millions of ants that seem to be around. Cant stand still at all, as we were covered in them. TFTC
Found on our journey home after a beautiful weekend in Port Lincoln. Easy find. TFTC. Picked up TB.
A quick park and find on my way to Port Lincoln for work. Thanks 3LG for the cache.
A nice roadside park and grab. That wasn’t fowl at all. Dropped a TB.
Thanks for the cache 3LG. Found on 14 Aug 2017 at 4:49 pm. Find #4979.

Quick easy find with VCM. Unfortunately we didn't see any malleefowl today TNLNSL. TFTC #ttmug
#1174 Final of seventeen finds on Day 10 of my South Australian geocaching road trip. Nice easy find after a short search. TFTC.
We've spotted a few malleefowl mounds in our travels through, well, the mallee country of western Vic of course. Thanks for another in the series 3LG.
CPwanderer, GoodLook and I headed off for a weekend in Port Lincoln via an overnight stop in Whyalla 
Our weekend was unexpectedly extended by a day due to illness and so my tally at the end of the 'weekend' was 168 cache finds
Sadly this was marred by a massive 28 DNFs
Port Lincoln, despite being virgin caching territory for all 3 of us, did not provide us with the pleasure that we had anticipated
So many of the caches were bison tubes and those that we did find, quite often were in places where a larger cache could have been hidden
The other issue was the lack of maintenance on many caches
There are people trying their best to maintain the 'wheres wolly' cache hides however their resources are stretched thinly..... so if you are heading over, please pack heaps of cache maintenance containers, bags and log books and help out where you can. [^]
That being said, the trip was still a blast and some great caches were found and great views were seen!
No mallee fowl were seen here today but we did see a dead magpie

Easy find!! Thanks 3LG for the hide!!
This was one of the caches found on a three day odyssey on the Eyre Peninsula! Myself, GoodLook and locuscache had never cached south of the Cowell/Cleve area so we had high hopes of some great caching. We worked our way down through Port Neil and Tumby Bay and grabbed those along the highway plus a few a little further afield.
Our time in and around Port Lincoln was frustrating. Lots very small micros, lots of very rusty tins and more dnfs than ive ever had in a day before this. We were very fortunate that local cacher , Roming Wendy joined as. Her expert knowledge of the town certainly helped. A medical issue had us stay a third day. This worked out very well as we could do some relaxed caching on our way home.
A special thanks to Roming wendy for her help and to those who hid caches in the area … particularly the Geo-Ambos, Wheres Wolly and Viper321. Special thanks also to my “mildly obsessive” caching buddies on this trip …………………………… amazing fun!!

Found whilst on a road trip with CPwanderer and Locus Cache, with the aim of the weekend to cache in and around Port Lincoln - fresh territory for us all. We certainly had a great time, however with a DNF rate of about 40% [:(!], it was tough going! We did however thoroughly enjoy the beautiful locations and scenery.
After joking all day on the Sunday we should spend another night in Pt Lincoln, circumstances presented that meant we needed to extend our time away! We took it slowly on the way home which enabled us to once again visit some terrific places

Hi there .
We found your cache **"Animal Facts E P : Malleefowl"** at 1:32:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 13802.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the local area today. We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. Today we thought that it would be nice to visit Port Lincoln to get the car serviced and then log some caches on our way back to camp.
The trees have all been trimmed, but the cache still lives.
We ended up finding 5 & DNFing 0 caches today.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.
