A prerty nice hide to come biking to, it seems that the cache has been taken over by snails but all in good condition aside from that. TFTC!
Down in Lincoln to celebrate an amazing 20yrs as Mr and Mrs DeltaDuck. In between reservations for lunch and tea there was time to find a few local goecaches. Found this one to tick off a date in our calender. Was in good condition considering the area had recently been slashed. TFTC
Another cache found with richlink on a beautiful sunny day.
Thank you so much to the CO’s who have placed and maintained caches for the enjoyment of all.

With rain expected tomorrow, we headed out with iluvtrekking to do dry weather caching. Fine effort for you first hide. Thanks brodysander2000
This one needs maintenance, couldn’t write on it. Wish we brought a container to help fix. Thank you️
Found it, so excited our first find! However, was destroyed by the weather xx
Found it, but it’s all broken and not where it should have been. Container needs replacement and new log.
Found with young Kayden, he was thrilled to swap a bouncy ball for some chatty teeth. Thanks for the cache
A nice little park I wouldn’t have otherwise discovered. But as others have said container & log needs replacing. TFTC!
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.
After having a successful day yesterday, we awoke with motivation and optimism for the day that was ahead of us. However after having our first geocache find, a rock had hit the vehicle's oil sump, leaving the car inoperable and requiring the car to be towed to a mechanic in Port Lincoln. The morning was then spent addressing the vehicle's repair plan, and then trying to salvage the remainder of our weekend's plans. We walked around the centre of Port Lincoln, before finding a hire vehicle for us, and then the afternoon was spent driving around the area. It was interesting seeing Port Lincoln's marinas and also caught glimpse of the shark cages. We ended up drowning our sorrows in the evening (whilst celebrating gridge98's birthday) at the craft brewery, which was probably a highlight of the day.
A nice little park, and searched as per the hint to make the quick find. It was a great hiding spot, but what a shame that the cache container is pretty well destroyed. I don't know how it could have gotten like that - clumsy Geocachers placing it back with a rock on top? The logbook papers are also scattered and weather damaged, so this one probably needs a whole new cache and logbook. Thanks anyway brodysander2000 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Quick stop here but this cache has definitely seen better days!
Well what a day it was, a day filled with more downs than ups and but overall a few caches were found in and around port Lincoln. Davidwazza and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula for a weekend away to clean up as much as we could and collect a few new LGAs for Davidwazza. This morning 2nd cache in we ended up cracking the oil sump in the car and having to sort out what to do and how to fix the issue. Lucky a mechanic was at hand and a prolonged trip was soon scheduled and a hire car was in hand. I guess things happen when you use a car for things that it’s not made to do.
Other than that a great day out.

A better weather day in Port Lincoln while visiting relatives we could spend a few hours seeking a few more of these elusive hides.
Unfortunately some were abandoned, no longer there, destroyed or removed with no maintenance performed.
This was a quick find for us. As mentioned in previous logs the lid is destroyed and in desperate need of repair.

Took awhile for my blind eyes to find it but very good hiding spot, the lid is broken
The log is unfortunately all wet, and the container lid is broken!! But exciting we have found our first geocache
Can't sign. Everything is saturated and a lizard was calling it home. Hope photo proves we were here. TFTC
Found by Mary & David at 0900. We are delighted to have an extra day in Port Lincoln so we can fit in an oyster lunch at Coffin Bay. What a beautiful area you live in. Our thanks to brodysander2000.
After 2 days struggling with a cold today I made it to this cache! Yay! It's good to be out in the fresh Eyre again. Hitched a ride with my son to close by then walked on to GZ. All good with the cache hide but added a snap lock bag for the logbook and a couple of swaps.a cache this size is a rare occurrence in Port Lincoln so well done on your first one. Look forward to my next visit to see what else you've put out. A fav.point from me for breaking out of the mould.
