Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Aldinga for a few days and ranging from there to grab some finds. Scored another beautiful day but the nights are still chilly. Thanks for the hide

Placement is not as originally intended. CO needs to check.

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. On our last day in the area, then we continue westward. Thanks for your cache, we have loved exploring this area. LNCU

Very inventive. TFTC

On a big eating and drinking weekend out with Mrs Mellison and Paulf76 we also had to go and grab some caches. TFTC

Loved the camo! TFTC

TFTC. Good camouflage!

Unfortunately I found it having a bit of a lie down, so I stood it back up where it blends in quite nicely. Thanks for something a bit different.

Today we are caching with our wonderful friends Muddtrax and Krossbo,we have headed to the McLaren Vale area to check out a few wineries, taste wine, eat food, talk heaps and find caches, what a great day we have had. We have found a fantastic range of caches today, so much better than looking for a mint tin under 'something'. All is good at the cache. SL TFTC

Given that there was some quite decent weather today, sunny and 25, I thought it was worth getting out for the day and doing some caching. I decided to head back in the McLaren Vale direction to find a few of the caches that I did not get to the last time I was in the area. It was an enjoyable afternoon as I made my way through the backroads between McLaren Vale and Willunga. For some reason, my GPS had me on the wrong side of the road for this cache. However, upon reading through some of the old logs, I soon knew where I was meant to be looking. It was not long after that I soon had the cache in hand. The log was signed, and the cache replaced, and I was on my way to my next find. I can see why this cache has all these favourite points and has earnt one from me as well. A good variety of caches were found, with very few DNFs; All caches were found in good condition unless otherwise stated.Find #9606, at 02:47 pmTFTC

Very very clever hide

Nicely done. A little bit more effort than usual! Nice scenic drive. Got a fav from us.

Well played.Favourite point addedOne week on from SAs Leap Year MEGA Event and out caching again. This time around Aldinga/Willunga and anywhere else that looks interesting.Ozibags, I found High Noon today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Spending a long weekend in the Southern suburbs which I havent visited very much since I started geocaching. So lots of unfound caches to keep me busy. The main theme was to target solved mysteries, highly favourited caches, caches requiring a TOTT, adventure labs and any other caches that I passed by.Great cache. Worthy of another favourite point. Thanks for the cache Ozibags.# # #14102 # #

I see why this is a favourite cache Quick findIn McLaren Vale for the weekend.After a fantastic night out for my bday, decided to grab a few caches.TFTC

I was wondering why a micro in the bush had so many favourite points. Now I know why!

Came to McLaren Flat with TheWanderingGrippers for a few finds this arvo. We had fun and recorded 6 finds and 1 DNF.A sneaky find here. Fav point for something different.TFTC

Thanks

Lots of fun ones today! TFTC

nice

Teresa found it

In pipe don’t let big box disturb you.

Found after a visit to one of the local wineries. TFTC.

Out and about checking out one of the lovely winery's. TFTC

Located the cache lying on the ground which, I’m sure, is not where it’s meant to be

Logged and replaced the outer container where I think it’s meant to be

Many moons or noons ago Monsieur Noon was my French Teacher at Willunga High tftc

A fun hide found about an hour after high noon. TFTC

A nice little side track to explore as I was moving through the area. TFTC

Tftc. Nice change from micros in a tree or on side of road.

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of a well designed and placed cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Ozibags for the cache.

This is my favourite find so far!

A quick find while caching around McLaren Vale.TFTC

Found this one with my Geoson and youngest Geodaughter on a drizzly day. Fantastic hide in a place where the cache is very unlikely to go missing. Great to see a different hide type. TFTC

Down south again today to collect a few more in the McLaren Vale region. Thanks for the cache Ozibags, nice to find one by a different hider. I liked it, leaving a FP for you here. Cache in good order. Find #6388

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Grabbing some caches on the way home from work TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. Impressive cache. TFTC

Found with vj187. Love it. TFTC

Good

Log book replaced and the cache replaced....... with the top of it UP so it will shed rainwater, rather than collect rainwater.

Tftc

Found, nice cache. The large cache container was filled with water therefore so was the micro cache and log book, therefore unable to sign. TFTC

Wet at the time. Did not sign.

Didn’t bring a pen to sign the log book but I found it

7 years of travelling Australia and yet we have never visited Normanville so we are here now to rectify that. Fabulous weather today so we headed to Willunga and Mclaren Vale, so much lovely scenery. Big day for us tackling more AdLabs and our first AR cache too!

TFTC

Enjoy caching around here
Great cache
TFTH

Very smart cache, a new favourote of mine. Tftc

Out and about with Andytakk and geokid. Absolutely love this one. Very ingenious. Tftc

It was not midday, we did not attend the nearby establishment but Mr Kookacrew does enjoy a good cowboy movie, Mrs Kooka does not!
The title song to the movie was ......

I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
In my grave
The song was written for the movie by Ned Washington and Dmitri Tiomkin. In the film, it was sung by Tex Ritter, but the release by Frankie Laine was the hit.
The title appears just once, and it's in the verse:

Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' high noon

The song is often listed as "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)," incorporating the chorus line.
Ry Cooder, who worked on the music for a number of films, including Paris, Texas (1984), had this to say about the track: "'High Noon' is a magical formula of elements. In two or three bars, the feeling of the song is telling you exactly what went on before, what's happening now and what's going to happen later."

Thanks Ozibags for the clever hide, always an interesting cache maker. Found it, signed it and replaced safe and sound as found. TNLN

In Port Elliott today, great day for caching out to get a few near McLaren Vale before the heat hits later this week. TFTC

Found it! Interesting hiding spot haha

2nd visit..YES.. its amazing the experience you gather in just a few months . If u r used to only finding eclipse tins or systema plastic then that's what u expect to find as a beginner .. moving on gives u surprises like this one. Tftc

Very cool, unique hide
TFTC

Awesome

You know the wine must be good when a cellar door sells out of it. I have never heard of such a thing and the government needs to launch a royal commission in to how this could of happened.

How can a decent business separate stupid tourists like us from our money. We desperately need to hear the things we might taste in a wine without understanding any of them or tasting any of those things.

We are awarding a favourite point for the cool hide. tftc

A quick find.

Didnt understand clue... nothing I cld see today

.. update ... in logging on after arriving home... a browse thru the gallery has provided a very quick education on High Noon! der!!!!! didnt see that... think I must have driven past.. spent lots of time around the rim and base of the white inspection box.... dont have to look there, coz it's NOT THERE

Found

Fun find!

Found, great little hidden gem

Awesome hiding place!!!

An extremely quick find but I still loved the creativity, haven’t really seen one like this before.
TFTC

Nice hide.

A cool hide! TFTC

Love the creative hide! FP Found with Erine14 after a nearby Cito TFTC:-)

Wasn't far beyond high noon when we found this cache [8]!
A unique hide - should stay dry in there . TNLNSL.
Had to laugh at the sign - sold out of wine - a bit like a pub with no beer .
Thanks Ozibags.

Found out with Beary Organised as the day heats up. Very clever hide. TFTC TNLNSL

Quick find with CherryRose as it got pretty warm. Our caching instincts are good. TFTC TNLNSL A Favourite Point.

Nice hide - kept the Geo-kids guessing

A quick find on a Saturday morning, One of Eight for the day. Quite a creative hide. TFTC

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Based at Willunga house-sitting for a few weeks, today we set off via McLaren Vale to Port Noarlunga for lunch - how many caches can we find on the way I wonder?

Got to love a cache hidden in full sight. Great hide (or not) Ozibags.

A lovely cache. Well done

Found it with gracehart_ tftc

super creative spot, found it by pure luck, happened to pick up the container while trying to see behind it haha. tftc

Great hide....very imaginative, I love it. Went straight for it, hint helped.

From a previous DNF we came back and found it very easy

Nice one!!

Tftc

Tftc awesome design!

Looking in the wrong direction to start with and found what I thought was the correct container. Nope, no cache. Looked at my maps again and found I was not near it. A better look and a better outcome. TFTC

Took a bit to find this one as I was expecting the hide to be a little different than what it was, well hidden cache.

A big afternoon of caching today, was a matter of seeing where the caches took me and finding a few target ones along the way. A nice trip down towards the southern suburbs, after a few caches were found a few new ones had been published so a rush for FTF was made in Onkaparinga national park. Then a new wherigo had been published 20km away so I rushed to that one even though the hope of get FTF was going to be rare as people would have been closer, an event followed in the evening followed by a few multis in the area. Overall a great afternoon/evening of caching. 27 finds in total with 0 DNFs.

Thanks for the Cache.

Find 2811
Found between laps of the TDU 2019.
Thanks to Ozibags for the cache.
Now where can I use a hide like that?

Reel - Fine Elsewhere

Headed south for maintenance on a handful of OTD's. Travelling with earthlight and the opportunity to find a handful of caches as we headed back to town for an event.
This was the first find for the afternoon although by our watches only a tad past high noon. It was a quick find as the camo had fallen over, therefore looked unnatural, a cool idea though. Re-attached but feel it possibly needs stronger magnets.
They were all sold out of wine... but I don't care for wine

TFTC Ozibags

Found with 3LG whilst doing maintenance run in area. Quick find. Have seen a cache interstate recently the same. TFTC

Tftc...awesome idea

Quick stop and find. TFTC.

Awesome find!! Extreme lengths... well done!

Tftc...very clever design and location

I needed an awesome cache like this in my life today... restored my faith in humanity. Fav point from me [^]

Thank you so much Ozibags

Lovely drive through the vines. Tftc

I came to McLaren Vale for business and then off to find your cache. I was not sure how to get the smaller container out but I got it in the end. Cool cammo. Fav point from me.

Thanks Ozibags for the cache

We came to McLaren Vale for lunch (delicious at Mullygrub) and then to collect one or two caches to round our numbers to 6300. Thought this was a super cache wasn’t sure how we would extract the smaller container but got it in the end TFTC now having a paddle of beers at Goodieson life is good!

Clever hide and a quick find!! A favourite!

Called past to locate a very clever hide after first searching on the wrong side of the road. Thanks for the cache Ozibags!
