Divin' at Douglas Allendale East, South Australia, Australia
By Beaker's Bunch on 15-Jan-05. Waypoint GCMGGQ

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on. SA caching foray. Staying in Mount Gambier for a week to grab some of the local hides. Its been sixteen years since since we were last here so enjoying the re-visit. Trust your gos co-ords are spot on. Thanks for the hideLNCU

We are travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching trip, using geocaching as our guide. We are in Beautiful Mt Gambier for a few days, soaking up the amazing things this area has to offer. We especially love the bush, back roads, and the wild southern seas. TFTC LNCU.

Still cant find this one

Second try was as successful as the first

I can’t believe we couldn’t find this one️

Hidden in light coastal shrubs

Will be back another day as I have to find a way into this cache. Ran out of time and had to leave the area.

Epic

Heavy bush area, couldn’t access as its very grown over

Well, for us it was driving, not diving today . Plus a little bit of walking .
Looked around for awhile before finding the well hidden container [8].
TNLNSL.
Thanks Beaker's Bunch. Our last for the day [|)].

Tftc, nice spot, little bit windy

Found after a short search. A great location to take in the view. TFTC

Great prickley hide!

Mr Nicko57 and Mr sylken decided to enjoy a day grabbing a few caches to add a few more smileys to the map.

Parked at a clear area at the top of the cliff and spoke to others nearby who confirmed there was a bit of a goat track along the cliff top. The cache was found about 100 metres along this track.

Many thanks for the hide -Beaker-

Found It!
Great spot for a cache! I parked nearby, walked over to GZ and started searching. Took me quite a while to spot it but eventually I looked from just the right angle. Great views out over the ocean from up here!
TFTC

Another stunning view. Looked for 10 mins or so and was about to give up when, bingo, there it was. Soooo many bushes.

i drove down from nene valley. stopped to get the caches along the way, made it all the way to middle point. I even placed one along the way. A short walk to this one and a quick find. nice views from here.
found with mogni. The target this australia day long weekend was 3 island caches, ladder entry in to a cave, a few tree/structure climbs, finishing mine and mogni's tradition fizzy grids, driving for 10's of km's along the coast line at various spots ( longest stretch was over 30 km's ) and a multi on a calendar day for me plus a puzzle and multi on calendar days for mogni.

The last day of our stay at Cape Douglas. We thought we should get the cache closest to our accommodation. Brilliant coastal views. TFTC.

Loved this one

Took a little to get to this one. Great views once I got to the final destination. TFTC SL TNLN

Great view TFTC

Some good weather on the radar for today, so a plan was hatched to head to the coast. Was a challenging day finding the right tracks to be on, and we seemed to have the wrong calculations for a few caches too so the hunt was made more difficult than it should have been. [:o)] [B)]

We have friends who live in this area but as luck would have it they left this week to warmer climates!

A fun weekend away with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) ! TFTC!

This weekend, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to Glencoe and Mount Gambier for some scuba diving, 4WD and geocaching/sightseeing adventures. Saturday was spent cave diving, Sunday was used to dive Ewens Ponds and 4WD along the southen coast from Port MacDonnell to Blackfellows Caves, while Monday we drove back to Adelaide via Millicent, Southend, Beachport, and Cape Jaffa. A busy long weekend in the south-east.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I started the day with a Mount Gambier breakfast, followed by a booked morning dive in Ewens Ponds. It was [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T)'s first fresh water scuba dive, and a rather enjoyable experience with the sun out. We then drove along the coast, and where I was expecting a continual coast road, it looked like we had to go inland and back out a fair bit. We went through Cape Douglas, and put the jeep through its paces up the rocky ascents/descents. The track then filtered out, and we were left to continue our travels along some very soft beach sand. We were getting a little worried since it was getting late in the day, but once we lowered the vehicle's tyre pressure down, it was reasonably easy driving. A fun day out!

We parked nearby, and followed the loose walking track towards GZ. Some terrific views over the coast today, and the oceans did look reasonably flat-ish. We searched for the cache a little, but it was The Morris' log that helped with our focus. Once found, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Beaker's Bunch aka [@-Beaker-](http://coord.info/PRN1VJ) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. Unfortunately we didn't have time to snorkel/dive around Douglas Point today.

Unable to locate

Four sets of eyes made this a quick find - even though we were all bleeding by the end! Fabulous view TFTC

The third voyage in the new camper, staying at Port Macdonnell for the intervening days. Little bit of relaxing, little bit of touristy stuff, little bit of scuba for Mr Morris and some caching.

Today we headed down the coast collecting a few caches we have missed on previous trips. Great to collect such an old cache - it was totally cracked so we have replaced it with a black fruit container under some spinifex.

Thanks for contributing to a great weeks holiday -Beaker-

With my family (TT016) & Nanna (hevwalker)
Logging now I have my own account.
TFTC

Headed out for an afternoon of caching and 4 wheel driving with hevwalker and PrincessAria1
After a bit of a wander through the scrub and a bit of searching had the cache in hand.
This was our last cache for the day.
TFTC Beaker

Headed out with TT016 & PrincessAria1 this afternoon along the coastline...it was an fun and adventurous 4WDing kind of day...
Last cache for the day...another unloved cache as 12 months since the last find...
A nice coastal wander but got a bit scratched up by the scrub...the things we do for a cache
TFTC Beaker

Out with CPwanderer caching around Port Mac & Carpenters Rocks due to the heat.
CP was keen to do this one, but we didn't have a 4WD.
We realised that we hadn't travelled far enough along the road &
found the nearby car-park.
Didn't mind following the track until the track disappeared...
Gz was in a rather lot of shrub & we were rather wary of snakes.
By the time we walked down back to the car,
CP had scratched his legs quite a bit by wearing shorts
Thanks for bringing us here, great location Beaker Bunch

Well this was an adventure.. couldn't work out the correct approach at first ..... then we made the walk from the car park and I cut my log up on some of the vegetation. Certainly a memorable experience!!

Great spot. Bit hard to find but worth it
Left a toy penguin. Took travel path tag.
Geo dogs enjoyed the beach.
Thanks

Found 1072
Found while out cacing with Snap Happy, TR! and TravellinBees on an awesome weekend in Carpenter Rocks. I hope this logs properly because I am currently trying to teach myself how to use GSAK and a GPS...my apologies if I get it wrong.
Thanks -Beaker- for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. Cheers Tomboy 711

**Find #7637...**

*Found whilst at Carpenter Rocks for the Weekend*...

A beautiful day to be out and about with TR!, Tomboy 711 and travellinbees in our 4WD's after a nearby event...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment -Beaker-...

Nice spot. Logging pen no longer works so bring a pencil

A quaint little town. We drove through and parked on the beach to eat our fish and chips before making our way to this cache. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC.

Found by Tingle tree

Amazing location. We thought you might have hidden the cache at the bottom of the cliff and checked there first. Whoops. The surf was pumping.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Some big waves today. TFTC

Great spot lovely view

Horrible windy day and we're just about to give up when we spotted. TFTC D

Found at 3:05PM on the 31st of March by Maya and Ray. A pleasant overcast but warm day for a drive by the sea. TNLNSL. TFTC. The Nomads.

Found no worries . Speccy views from here and big seas today. thx Beaker for the hide.

Found on a very blowy day! Almost was about to give up then bam there it was! Not ideal to find with thongs or shorts.

Warm first day of spring

Found it very late in the day, had a walk of about 350 metres each way and got back to the car just before it was too dark to see. It was a nice walk along the beach for part of the way though. TFTC

Took us a bit to find but we weren't going to give up. Beautiful views TFTC

#3603 We'd had a wonderful time driving around the area - friends told us there wasn't much around this region to see......they must've been driving around with their eyes closed! We continued following in the footsteps Squalid, Firesafe, Honeysucker and Huurtle who had been through earlier in the day. The cache was well hidden and in good condition. Although we both would love to dive, one of us can't for health reasons and the other tried & managed to suck the tank dry in 10mins on 1st instruction........so much for the hour lesson . Anyway, we digress, a lovely spot, thanks for bringing us here -Beaker- [^]

Found on our trip to the Little Big Event with Firesafe no diving just a few caches

After our swim today, we were energised so walked to this cache on the way back. Took a little while to find, and had to fight off some bitey flies, but we got there in the end. TFTC.

Spent today heading along the coast, doing some 4X4 driving and grabbing caches as we went.

Great view of the bay here. TFTC.

Heading home from The Big Little Event, did a few cache along the coast and Mt Gambier....
Teamed up with FireSafe and Honeysucker and did some 4x4 required cache too...

Beaut spot, for another BB cache find.

Thanks

Found while at the Big little Event,
Left dragonfly and leaf, butterfly and motorbike

Nice walk with Hiluxury & GoShaz. Beautiful day.

Nice walk with Hiluxury & GoShaz. Beautiful day.

Found on a caching day our with Hiluxury and Vickums. This is a beautiful part of the world. Thanks Beaker.

Nice stroll with GoShaz and Vickums.

Had a good look around, but not good enough to come away with a find. TFTH

Found with whitey84 accidentally stepped on it, was also full of ants but soon made them vacate TFTC TNLN

Found with jess_jase bit of searchin but quickly found TFTC

Had a quick look around for this one today with no luck, but we are coming back to this location very soon and will have a better search. Thanks for showing us some awesome coastline.

Dang it! Spent 45 mins on this one. Sat lock down to 5m - but was using my 'droid which drifted all the same. Will be back with my eTrex.

no luck for us... tried both from the beach and the car park... nice walk though!

Good news Beaker its still there
What a day down there blowing a gale raining huge seas gr8 sat lock
to 4metre and i turn it up second visit here
cheers

Tried to get to this first from the beach - great walk along the sand then some rock scrambling but chickened out when I got to the scrub( only one minute to go). Next tried via the 4WD track going up this on foot. Again got to within a minute of the cache but again was faced with scrub. My sense of self preservation kicked in - looked like great snake habitat - so will attempt this one again once the weather cools down in autumn.

Had a really good view of the surf waves today and quite surprised how far down the coast we could see. TFTC SL

wonderful cache,have been working here previously but ended up doing the find with Geoparents TFTC

Found with le plongeurs after lots of man looks then a real look......

Joint find for this one as we run into another team having a day out as well. Took 0 Left 0

We drove in to this little cove and the kids enjoyed a little play on the beach whilst dad hunted the cache. Found it at 14:20 & took compass carabiner and left a $2 coin.
It was a very wild and woolly day today and the power of the waves crashing onto the reef and rocks was quite awesome.

Thanks to Beaker's Bunch for bringing us here
(oh, hang on, isn't there another of your caches not too far away?..................................)

9th find of 12 on our Coastal Cache Collection Safari Day
Found around 16:50.
Met Fred, Wilmer & the rest of the Flintstones on the way to the cache.
This is a beautiful area, but probably a little rough for diving today.

Thank you Beakers' for bringing me here.

There is an easy way to get to this cache, and a more difficult one, between us we tried both. Great spot, love to have a shack here. Nice view across the sea.
Didn't stop for a snokell today.
Thanks, Robmc.

We came out here today to do a couple of caches and this was a nice little warm up for the main event. Great looking coast around here. By the end of the day we would be sick of searching coastal scrub but not yet. Thanks Beakers Bunch.

The view from here was spectacular to see very rough seas with equally strong winds made the walk difficult, but rewarding, located cache no problems. Will come back next time and continue the walk along the coast line GZ told us there is another cache nearby.. not today...
SLTFTH

Cheers

found it

took a coin

[8]

A quick through the scrub and I had it. A very windy day, but Lizards were out sunning themselves.
Thanks Beaker

A great detour out past the shacks. A bit of footy rivalry in the watertank paint schemes
An easy cache find up on the hill behind the beach
Left a 4WD and took Ned.

A quick find once we had read the hint.

After a couple of dnfs it was a relief to get this one. Great area. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache Beaker's bunch

This one was the start of a session in this area, as haven't been in this area for ages.

Loved the scenic views, which were absolutely fantastic on a moderate day. Thanks for the clue, as was used to find the cache, but without it, would have taken longer

TNLN

What a day down there blowing a gale huge seas gr8 sat lock
to 4metre geokid and i looked for 40minute but no luck.
Numerous cut and scratches not a gr8 area for shorts aye.

Found 15:45, another great location with a fantastic cache.

TNLN, thanks Beaker's Bunch.

Found at 3.50pm GAFF1. We were with Biggles Bear and we really made a meal out of getting to the cache. We were in a hurry so we took the shortest route possible, but it was really tough through the scrub. Found a much easier way back. Loved the area and the views. Thanks Beaker's Bunch . tn/ln

While I was out and about driving a better suited machine for the conditions I decided to do this one. Im glad I didnt bring my little girl with me as I only needed my eyes to look for the cache instead of her!!
Found pretty easily and look a bit of time to check out the view...great location

Thanks Beakers!!Another great cache by you guys!!

The Rizzos

We pulled up at the conveniently located car park and headed off to GZ admiring the view as we went. It took about 10 minutes to locate the cache
We took a Tricerotps
Left Mondo Man
Thanks to Beakers Bunch for our last cache of the day

Nice cache, with a great little walk. A nice easy find thanks.....left a simpsons figurine.

Great coastline, quick n easy find TFTH

A windy day but an easy find. TNLN TFTH

A beautiful bay, even better views. Found by Jessica. Grabbed TB World Traveller from 80m to Cathederal, not Divin' at Douglas. Don't remember if we swapped anything or not!
Thanks Beaker's Bunch.

I think I left this TB here

Made it up the hill in the GeoJeep. I was glad that there wasn't sand as I hate sand...
Found easily just where I was going to be. Thanks Beakers.

The 4wd took this one in its stride, and we didnt have to ask it to do anything it wasnt designed for.

After a quick stroll we found the cache, then spent the whole walk back debating fosters demise in australia, after finding an empty can near the cache.

Great views.
