Solved the puzzle and then searched for 15 mins with no luck. Coming back tomorrow with a troop of kids and will put them to work, see if they can locate it.

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. Our last day in Port Elliot finds us cleaning up a few more caches before we hit the road again. Thanks for the multi. LNCU.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in beautiful Port Elliot for a few days to cache the area. Heading to Victor Harbour on a cold blustery day. Thanks for the find. LCNU

Out caching on a beautiful May Day, our third multi for the day. Tftc mogni

In the area grabbing some caches today. TFTC mogni

It is really hard

Today I had the whole park to myself which made for an easy waypoint 1, then off to GZ where the cache was easily found and is all good.Courtneyrose_ and I headed to Goolwa for a night away to complete the local parkrun, along the way to and from we stopped to find a few caches. Thanks for the cache

House/dog sitting near Goolwa. Daughter & children have come over from Melbourne. Took the grandkids to the nearby animal farm then onto a playground near Port Elliott which gave daughter a few hours peace whilst ‘she worked from home’. Pulled out the phone & happy to see a multi at the playground. Did the sums then a short walk to the cache. Mmmm lots of aromatic bushes. Read thru previous logs & did the pole dance & came up with the prize. Tftm

Found on a trip down the Fleurieu with FeatherWaite to find some caches of interest. We focussed on mostly unknown, multi, letterbox and earthcaches between Victor Harbour and Hindmarsh Island. Interesting weather, with plenty of strong winds and squally rain, which certainly made the pole caches challenging. Nice and cool though. Thanks mogni for the cache.

Found with e.gregory1 during a caching trip to Victor Harbor, Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island on a cold, wet and windy day. Thanks for the cache mogni!

Had to have 2 bites at this one as i miss read some instructions but worked it out in the end. TFTC

Great questions to answer and complete had fun as a family!!!!

We got to finish stage 2 today with no muggles around. This park was very busy when we did the first stage on the weekend.

Out and about today picking up some local caches in this area while on holidays. All good here today.

A quick find nice to solve an easy multi! TFTC Mogni

Away down here with Purrfect Di and Jack too.

A quick read and wander and some painted SA Rocks found too!
Nice little park.

Thanks to you for putting this cache out on the SA geomap mogni

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for rocks, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

The weekly wander of the Befuddled with a rare occassion of a Mule joining us. The target was more hides in and around Victor Harbour and anything else we needed on the way. Our last attempt at Victor was thwarted by the news of the state going into a 5 day lockdown which meant we had to return home to stock up on supplies. Thank you for the placement of the Starfish Park Multi cache mogni find number 8635 on 10 November 2021 at 12:38 pm

Time for a Wednesday Wander, the weather was delightful.

A quartet of Geo animals went a caching.

The quartet consisted of a Rat. a Starfish, an Adder and a Mule.

We met at Willunga, the days plan to cache our way to and around Victor Harbor.

Gathered our info, did the math.
A quickish find at GZ.


We had a great day, lots of finds, laughter and fun. Tftc

Today I headed to VH and surrounds for a caching day.
Visitors coming to stay unexpectedly meant some frantic housework before I could leave home (they probably didn’t even notice ) so my 8.30 departure became 10.30 but there was a curry in the slow cooker and my house was the cleanest it’s been in weeks!
My goal had been to find 45 caches sadly this ended up being only 27 finds and 4 dnfs. Had a mint day out though the coast was looking beautiful and there was so much bird life to be seen.
Had a lovely cake and coffee in Goolwa and was please with my haul.
I am sure I have been here before with Rex and JJ52. Once the plaque was found (in the midst of a kids party ) calcs done and a quick find. TFTC Mogni

Found on a two day blitz of the area to get back on top of the growing number of un-founds for me. Quick solve but the find took a little longer than anticipated. Geez, there's a lot of lamb seasoning here.

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Found by Team GeoCoopers
The younger kids had a play nearby while the adults cached.
Thanks Mongi

Out caching around Victor Harbor & Pt Elliot with Team Waldron today
We found a heap, replaced some wet logbooks & damaged containers
Had fun & enjoyed some sunshine
TFTC mogni

A fday out with TheWhiteDogGang..

We had a day around Vicor and Middleton.

All caches that we found were in good condition or if a logbook needed replacing we did that to helput.

TFTC

We looked everywhere! We even had some help! Couldn't find it anywhere!

Lost count of how many cache I found in this park now.
Geokids loved it last few times here.
Quick sums and quick find in obvious spot.

Thanks

Looked in a few spots before the cache was located. Turtle out

Made the find with Csaba! and SupaTurtle. Tra La Laaa

For some reason the new version of the phone app does not work as well as the old one. Took much longer to find then needed. Thanks

With today's weather forecast to be pretty good compared to yesterday we decided to head on out. Weather was okay but pretty choppy still out on the water. Surfers loved it! We managed to grab a few caches out and about.

Nice easy one took the geocoin

Thanks for this Multi-cache

Been doing a lot of wall building at home and my muscles were aching. Time for a day off to do some caching and chill. So I called up Anymules and we met down at Victor Harbor to continue where we left off when our last day was cut short by an impending 5 day covid lockdown! I think I will rename Victor Harbor after today to Micro Harbor. I had brought several TBs to leave in caches down here but it took all day to find suitable sized ones. Just saying. [:o)]

I had been to this park once before and found a cache! But that was another cache and another time. I like the name of the park for some reason. [:o)] We quickly gathered the information required and walked to GZ where I found the cache in the obvious hiding spot. The first place I felt! Left a geocoin.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. 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. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks mogni for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A nice quick little multi in a park I have been to before.

Thanks for the cache mogni.

Found It!
Not the first time I've been to this park for a cache. It's an unusually popular park to, always seems to have kids in it. I came back tonight, late on a cold evening evening to find it empty. But before I had even finished reading the numbers off the plaque, a family arrived and two little kids started running around. I wandered off to GZ and thankfully found the cache rather quickly!
TFTC

Great little park. Have been here before for a previous cache. Answers obtained and the off to the final where the cache was found in the first place I looked. An enjoyable multi

One of the many nanos found on my day caching in the Victor Harbor region. A nice quick multi. Thanks mogni.

Headed to Encounter Bay today to collect some furniture and other wares from a friend's garage sale...with Bron (my semi-muggle friend), jafaz62 & her black Lab Chewie...
It took us awhile to reach our destination because we kept stopping

We looked around for the plaque...that took awhile...then had a doh!!! moment when we spotted it...very close to where we were sitting...
Calculated the numbers and went to the final location...
The cache took us a while to find as there were a few places to look and the ground cover hid it well but Bron soon had her hand on it after some digging around...
We came out smelling like we belonged with a lamb roast...
The cache was signed and placed back as found...
Thanks for placing the cache, mogni, at this lovely park, for us to find

Worked out the coordinates and quickly found said hiding spot, searched for a while but had no luck today

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

The starfishes here are very happy starfishes. A fun park. TFTC

A cache with a big star. I smiled. The numbers were crunched (and the letters counted and re counted!!) and the solution was quickly in hand. We all walked away smelling of fresh rosemary!

Thanks to mogni and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Camping weekend with geosister H423L, team Astro and geodog Tonka at Hindmarsh Island.
Heading back to Berri for me Adelaide for them we wanted a few more caches before heading home
Excellent hint even thou it’s everywhere
Great multi

fun little adventure with accurate coordinates
always loved this park thanks for the hide and adventure Mogni

No one in the park when we arrived. Hot weather is good for something. Deja vu. It this the third time I have visited this park. All of the maths worked find and checksums were spot on. The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Why do I want a lamb leg roast for lunch? Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find with two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Today was a big day down on the South Coast. A 5am alarm and an early start led to a day with mant highlights and lots of fun. And one lowlight.
This was one of two multis I did together with Freddo on our way from Goolwa to the Community Celebration event.
All the numbers were collected and we even got them and the arithmetic correct first time. Once again we walked to GZ but this time it took a few attempts before Freddo located the prize. I blame my minimal contribution on the fact that I was still trying to stem the bleeding from the previous cache. the likely hide from some distance away. Eventually pressure got it under control.

TFTMC again mogni

There was a Celebration Event in Victor Harbor today so I organised with allister w to go together and find a few caches on our way before the event and then get some after the event, as you do. [^]

We stopped off here to gather the info and were pleased that we could sit while we did the calculations and while we were doing that CPwanderer, clare007 and Gizmo's Gang strolled along so we all went off to GZ for a relatively quick find. I smelled really nice for quite some time after leaving this one.

Thanks for the cache mogni.

I drove the co here and searched for the trad that was originally here. It had gone missing again. I put the idea in the co's head of archiving that and replacing it with a multi. The rest is history. logging as a beta tester.

JJ52 and I went to find this cache on our way to the Beach Party Event and find CP Wanaderer, Gizmos Gang and Clare007 doing the exact same thing. We make the find and all leave smelling like something that goes with lamb. TFTC mogni

Another nice little multi.
CPwanderer, clare007 and I arrived at the posted coords to find allisterw and JJ52 gathering info. Quickly located the cache with more sets of eyes looking.
TFT mogni

Arrived with clare007 and Gizmos Gang to find Allister w and JJ52!!! We all headed to the GZ for a quick find!!!

Headed towards the Celebration Beach Party Event in Victor Harbour, with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang.
As this cache was just around the corner and kinda on the way.
No sooner had we pulled up, that I spotted two cachers near WP1.
As there were plenty of herb to search, we were glad to have more eyes to search.
Thanks for the multi & hide mogni

Nice easy find, kids love this park. Love getting the kids involved with multis TFTC

First to Find on the eighth of January 2021.
Pulled up at GZ for information and there was a small group sitting at the nearest table, (not that ewe were eavesdropping but we think they were teachers discussing how they were social distancing from people and were going to introduce some skills to their eager students soon) .
Too busy discussing to care that we were looking at the plaque, counting lines and words and scribbling things down, we reckon we could be students in their classes and get away with heaps.

Starfish or sea stars are star-shaped echinoderms belonging to the class Asteroidea. Common usage frequently finds these names being also applied to ophiuroids, which are correctly referred to as brittle stars or basket stars. Starfish are also known as Asteroids due to being in the class Asteroidea. About 1,500 species of starfish occur on the seabed in all the world's oceans, from the tropics to frigid polar waters. They are found from the intertidal zone down to abyssal depths, 6,000 m (20,000 ft) below the surface.

Starfish are marine invertebrates. They typically have a central disc and usually five arms, though some species have a larger number of arms. The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny, and is covered with overlapping plates. Many species are brightly coloured in various shades of red or orange, while others are blue, grey or brown. Starfish have tube feet operated by a hydraulic system and a mouth at the centre of the oral or lower surface. They are opportunistic feeders and are mostly predators on benthic invertebrates. Several species have specialized feeding behaviours including eversion of their stomachs and suspension feeding. They have complex life cycles and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most can regenerate damaged parts or lost arms and they can shed arms as a means of defense. The Asteroidea occupy several significant ecological roles. Starfish, such as the ochre sea star (Pisaster ochraceus) and the reef sea star (Stichaster australis), have become widely known as examples of the keystone species concept in ecology. The tropical crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is a voracious predator of coral throughout the Indo-Pacific region, and the northern Pacific sea star is considered to be one of the world's 100 worst invasive species.

The fossil record for starfish is ancient, dating back to the Ordovician around 450 million years ago, but it is rather sparse, as starfish tend to disintegrate after death. Only the ossicles and spines of the animal are likely to be preserved, making remains hard to locate. With their appealing symmetrical shape, starfish have played a part in literature, legend, design and popular culture. They are sometimes collected as curios, used in design or as logos, and in some cultures, despite possible toxicity, they are eaten.

Also Coldplay apparantely was called Starfish for a while back in the 1990s.
Thanks mogni for the caches and a lovely detour through Victor Harbour on a lovely sunny summer Friday. TNLNSL
