Nice hide. Was a bit tricky
 
09-Oct-24
Found this one yesterday but was empty apart from a coin. We headed back today and replaced the notepad and added a few treasures. Could probably use a note stuck to the outside saying it's a geocache and maybe an explanation inside to keep beach visitors from missing with it!
 
06-Sep-24
Think we found the cachewith Sarge5556. A jar with a couple of coins in it. Unfortunately no log paper in it so couldn't sign. Didn't have replacement paper with us.

This one was tricky but we found it after a long search. For the benefit of others looking for this cache, I would call it a micro. The container doesn't appear to be waterproof and some log entries seem to have been washed off the water resistant paper. TFTC.

So many caches, so little time.

On our last afternoon in the Port Lincoln area, we decided to drive north and visit Tumby Bay. Ther was a hive of activity at GZ with preparations for a party the following day taking place. We had a quick chat, then moved on without looking.

Came in prepared, hmmm, log sheet too big still…out came the scissors, now it fits. TFTC.
 
26-Sep-21
Practically parked at GZ. Tweety2 had it while I organised a replacement log. Hopefully a RITR logbook is enough to keep this one functioning a while longer. Beautiful spot. TFTC!
 
12-Sep-21
We came along here with ilook4geo but found the same situation as others before us. The log could not be signed so we just had to leave it there. Very disappointing. Some TLC from the CO would would make it much better.
 
12-Sep-21
Still caching around with going places2. Not able to sign this one. Too much of a mess.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

Off to the west coast for a Holiday. [^] Holiday Sal Style that is. Razz We are sightseeing - if there happens to be a cache there - great - get it. Luckily caches are in really interesting spots anyway. Cool

Day 7: Coffin Bay to Port Lincoln via Cummins and Tumby Bay - As you do.Big Grin
No body around today made for a quick find. Smallest small size container I have ever found! Surprised log completely saturated but didn't have any that tiny to replace it. Twisted

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

On a road trip around the Mid North and Eyre Peninsula, geocaching as I go. Predominantly targeting old caches, solved mysteries and grabbing some interesting looking traditionals.

The logbook has seen better days but cache was found without problems. Beautiful beach here. Thanks for bringing me here.

Thanks for the cache mitch_0018.

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.

A beautiful location to admire the coastal views. We started searching around for the cache, until gridge98 checked somewhere, and found the cache not the cleverest hidden. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks mitch_0018 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
 
24-Jul-20
