Found with the help of my tall Italian friend! His first gocaching! Thank you for the view 
We climbed but I could not coerce my fellow travellers with the wind to climb the last metre. Not in reach for us.
We are on a caravanning trip around Australia and we called into Port Augusta for a look around. We pulled out the bikes and went for a ride to grab a few caches.Our first stop on the bikes was the water tower lookout. My partner gor himself up for a look around but missed it the first time.e as was looking for something smaller. Signed and returned without anyone coming up. Thanks for the cache

It was good Hunt, but it may have took a awhile. It was such a good treasure and I hopeOther people find it
First morning at the caravan park, we decided to do a self walk of the town as we weren't alone our caching journey was incidental. The water tower was on the the list of sights.We climbed the tower, followed the very good hint and retrieved it without too much trouble. We were fortunate to have the right tott, in the form of a friend who offered a leg up.
Found with Baz man while in town for a night a day headed up to check out the sights and try for this cache. Found after reading the notes and was happy to have this one checked off after seeing quite a few dnf's. Thanks thewhitedoggang for the challenge, the hide and the views from here.
We tackled this one after dark, maybe not the best plan but even with the use of some photos from cache page nothing was felt or seen.
We came, we looked with torches, the taller one felt every place he could reach. Nice views at sunset. There is always next visit and finally down to the last few caches in this town.
My son is over 6ft tall, he couldnt feel anything, reached outside with phone and couldnt see anything so gave up
Had to wait for a few muggles to leave then a quick hoist up and there it was. TFTC.
Today is our 2nd day in South Australia, visiting from Brisbane. We started in Port Augusta and spent the day driving to Hawker and back. Found the correct pole. Couldn't reach out and around, if that is what is needed. We couldn't see anything from underneath anyway once we had given up and retreated.
A nice view. Needed team work to retrieve this cache as we are vertically challenged. TFTC.
Couldnt get the jelly legs to get to the top so sent the braver half to finds it!
Found with richlink during our annual caravan caching trip. Just as well Mr richlink was with us, we could not have reached this one without him. Thanks for the cache
Travelling with iluvtrekking on a SA caching foray and spending a couple of days in PA. I think over our caching years we have found 3-4 different caches on this structure- that knowledge didnt make this find any easierThanks whitedoggang
new cache in place - container & strong magnet in line with the steel beam above, please replace as foundyellow circle is location
So we found the cache but it has fallen off the ledge to the right and is a really long way down. We attempted to slide up with sticks but its pretty well wedged in there. It could even be pushed further down if not careful.
Have reported to cache owner that this cache has fallen off the ledge and is not able to be retrieved. Its a long way down inside the wall.
Could see it but could not reach it, not on ledge of window but down further on right hand side, did not have the geotools to rescue for a find today, will need some sort of grabber for retrieval, till our next visit TFTC
We climbed, we reached up, we even dodged bees... but not agile enough these days 
No children around to kidnap and throw up there... [:o)]
No children around to kidnap and throw up there... [:o)]Unlike the previous finder, we did not have the good fortune of being able to kidnap an agile young muggle to climb and reach for us. Steps climbed, picture consulted, area located - but chubby older geobody ain't getting in there!!! Bugga! Took a pic instead!
As we wander through the land, grabbing caches and seeing the sights even occasionally catching up with friendswell after a call with the owner permission for logging was given but thet in the end was not needed as a family rocked up to the top with a young lad that was willing to make the climb for me signed and repalced.A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles coveredThanks for placing themFound with Geooh GO
OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa In Port Augusta for a few days, using caches as a tour guide today. Great views of the town from here and a fun climb/dangle to get CIH. Tftc
Ocw the Bebes as we visit PA. Made the climb and then another one to collect the cache. All in good order. Tftc
Stopped at the nearby park for a lunch break as we headed westward. Nice view of the town and top of the gulf from the tower! Thanks for the cache thewhitedoggang.
Glad i had long legs for the climb and long arms for the find. I got to the top in 18 seconds, beat that! TFTC.
Spent the afternoon with Brother-In-Law and local geocacher picking up a few of the caches in the area that had been placed since we'd cleaned this area out some years ago. Was a great afternoon touring the town, pity we traversed the bridge what felt like a dozen times and with the reduced speed got some what annoying. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.Felt like a case of deja vu trying to find a cache up here. Luckily we had a previous finder with us today and it was a quick find. Glorious views for up here today on this warm spring day.TFTC
Muggles helped but sadly all the feeling led to no joy. But what a view. Tyftc that we couldn't find.
I'm here, got to first level but the howling winds and fear of heights got me- even for a FTF. Will be back on a calmer day. TFTC
