One would suggest this cache was never replaced as per the COs comment, maybe time to go?
 
05-Nov-22
okay

4 pairs of eyes and 3 previous finders with no luck. Is it actually there?
 
17-Aug-22
Another of our weekly Wednesday wanders with a Rat, a Starfish and one who gazes at the stars.
The forecast predicted a very wet late afternoon but who trusts what the weather bureau says?

We managed to stay dry but the cold had us donning coats and wet weather gear just to stay warm whilst picking up a few more newly published hides around the upper Yorke peninsular.

Another visit to this GZ with 3 other finders also helping in the search. 4 pairs of eyes and no prize. With the difficulty and the terrain as 1 1/2 it should have been easily found with all those looking, digging around where the hint suggested. There is definitely no cache to be found here.

The last log by BBB is odd and says nothing of an actual find.

This needs checking by the CO me thinks.

Has this one gone AWOL again? With the farmers fence lying in front of the structure maybe he is not happy with it. For a small there are not many places it could be. Will place on the watch list.

Sadly after finding 2 caches on the last 2 hunts we were unable to find 1 cache here today.
 
07-Jun-20
Found on a trip from Wool Bay on Yorke Peninsula back to home in the Adelaide Hills via Maitland, then up to the northern plains to find most of the caches on the circuitous back-roads in an area between Nantawarra, Balaklava and Bowmans, finding 22 caches for the day and clearing up a very rewarding portion on the map. Thanks for the cache Tk2!

Another quick find as we travel these back roads collecting as many smiley faces as possible.
The cache was signed and dated then returned to its hiding place.
PLEASE BE AWARE THE FARMERS ARE TAKING DOWN NUMBER PLATES OF DRIVERS as there have been many thefts in this neck of the woods. You may be approached by a farmer so please explain your reason for travelling these back roads just to reassure them of your reason for being here

A huge weekend of geocaching with Mary from Aussie M & M. We got ourselves a lovely little cottage in Kadina and made this our base. So many caches and so little time we had to target certain ones that we felt were special enough to get a visit. As per normal we fixed any that needed some love so other could find them after us.
Thanks to Tk2 from mogni Big Grin

Out on a lovely winters day, with an Owl and a Starfish,
Travelling on the dirt roads north bound from Gawler.
A lot of laughs and caches found.
Mrs Rat was on a quest to get to 6,000 finds.
A quick find by the scampering Mrs Rat.
A quick find by the merry trio. Tftc

Yet another puzzled puzzler's Tuesday caching expedition. Cool Today's crew of brisal5, Mrs. SA Sewer Rats and Doctor Owl set sail north again to where we were caching DNF's recently. Razz Whilst doing that two weeks ago we rectified three DNF'S but added another three to the list. Although we made a lot of finds I managed to add another four to my DNF list! Sad No matter we had a lot of laughs and I added a few unloved caches to my list along the way. [:o)]
But it is wood. So what was it. Razz I let the ladies find this one in the first place I would have looked! Smile

**Thanks Tk2 for this cache. ** Big Grin

Day 2 of our girl's adventure and Gral4 and I did a spin around town collecting caches before heading into the wild and retackling yesterdays DNF, some 4WD caches and exploring the backroads for some planetary pursuit caching.

Another interesting day, we encountered mangroves and slippery mud, saw kangaroos, a rabbit, a dead cat [)], a UFO lauchpad [?], an old homestead, a grandprix track, a few trains and big cactus plants amongst other things.

Gral4 did some great 4WDing which meant we could get to some places my Toyota Corolla can only dream about Wink I dropped lots of TB's on the way Big Grin but we also picked up another 4.

Weary and hungry we ended up at Cookies at Two Wells for dinner and enjoyed a very tasty sweet and sour chicken dish to complete the fun weekend. Razz

Indeed all legs it was. Took TB.

Day 2 of our adventures. This was much more adventurous than day 1. We did a lot of 4x4 driving, up tracks that hadn't seen a vehicle for ages, NEARLY conquered mangrove mud without ending up in it, saw two kangaroos and two sleepy lizards, three trains went past just after we went across the crossings, and we had lots of fun. It was good to get the 4x4 out and use it for what it is designed for, although muggle hubby might not be happy with the layer of missing duco. I have never been confident to use the 4x4 like this, there will be no stopping me now.

A minor TB is going to fit in here. Ismartis found this one real quick.
 
26-Mar-18
Out on a planet run today.
Looking for points and dirt roads.
Had a great day tracking down caches.
My favourite find for the day.
Loved getting to this one and finding the headless one.
Sometimes its about the drive.

13-Oct-17
An early morning start took us on a caching adventure to Price, Clinton, Port Arthur and Port Wakefield and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ. Left TB.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out and about for a bit of father's day caching with Geo daughter Squash99 while geo Mum was at work. TFTC
 
27-Aug-16
Yep Smile. Definitely dead Surprised. Headless is the perfect description for this one Red Face.
Wonder how long the rest of the structure will survive until someone comes along and decides it would be better used for firewood Twisted[?].
TNLNSL.
Had a bit of an adventure heading from here over to the Balakava Road - flooded tracks, the Wakefield River crossing and more flooded tracks Wink. Great fun Big Grin.
Thanks for one more Tk2.

Out for the day with Firesafe and locus

Thanks Tk2 for putting this cache out for us to find

Sorry for the delay in logging
 
21-Jul-16
Firesafe had to do a maintenance run on his northern series and so Honeysucker and I tagged along Wink
It's been a couple of years since we've all managed to cache together and the boys had just as much fun stirring me up as they used to do Razz....... I still say that's the only reason they ask me along Wink
Around the maintenance, we cached and got as far north as Lochiel Cool and so by day's end I had found 17 caches Smile
Thanks for the fun guys Cool although your laughter when I fell down wasn't quite so funny! Razz

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

Finally! [^] Every time I go to YP this cache has been taunting me and I'd never been able to get in here Sad
Now it can taunt me no more for it is found! Cool

Found while on Yorke Peninsula with iluvtrekking. Fortunate to have amazingly clear, warm weather for duration of our stay which made for very pleasant caching. Today we headed to Clare picking up a few finds along the way. Thanks Tk2

Found with richlink as we slowly made our way north from Point Turton to Clare, picking up caches as we went. Thanks for your cache Tk2.

OMG I thought I was going to be stuck out here for ever....LOL....I was following a BIG 4WD, but the one problem with this plan was that my vehicle was not really built for the conditions we were driving through today!

Eeeek.....my self talk included...."just do what the car in front is doing, speed up, drive on the side of the track, oh what did the car in front do then??.....oh no, that is sand - I hope I don't sink....oh nooooo, that is water......... oh no, that mud makes my car slip and slide"

So I am thrilled I actually made it, and then out again in order to log this find!

Thoroughly enjoyed my weekend on the Yorke Peninsula. Found on the return trip home with geobuddies after attending the "Footloose on the Foot" dinner event in Warooka the previous night.

TFTC Tk2!
 
31-Jan-16
We turned left, not right on the way back from Yorkes so what better way to make good of the "error" than to head up the track and round the paddock to find a pole without a head. Splash splash and we were there! I think someone was following me.......Cool

Found on the Footloose Event Weekend Wink Thanks to Tk2 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!




 
31-Jan-16
After a successful "Footloose' event at Warooka, it was time to make the journey back to Adeleide.
This was another of the fun stops along the way.
Cheers & TFTC Tk2

Got a bit of mud on the car on the way into this one but didn't get bogged so all was good. You can probably log a find on this object over on GCA...
