As I haven't been able to get back to this cache for a while I thought I'd archive it and make the location available to someone else.

Hadn't been disabled on Friday when I loaded this one to the GPSr

So no we didn't find it either

Seems the last few visitors have had no luck. Hope you all enjoyed the views anyway. I'll get back there and check the cache out soon.

Spent about 30 minutes looking around with GPSr going all over the place with no success, even in the obvious place. A nice drive with my 4WD. TFTC.

Looked everywhere! Gps says it's in the field but don't assume that's the case....?

**Update 24/04/2011**
With 5 of us looking (Geowife, 3 Geokids & I) we called this a DNF after 5 minutes of searching before heading down the hill to McLaren Vale.
**End Update**

I looked in hollows, I looked in the grass, I looked under logs and in the leaves above....

Sadly no show of the little brown jar but I'll have another go tomorrow morning and see if I have any better luck! I had thought it would be an easy drive by but sadly no cache was to be in hand.

Today we did a huge challange and achieved 178 caches in a 24 hour period starting at gawler on a bicycle at midnight and finishing at the mclaren vale in a car 24 hours later. Sweat, blood and laughter was part and parcel to find a cache every 8 minutes for 24 hours. We found this cache and thankyou for making our challange possible. We were assisted in our challange by emily~angel & dennisC52, Thanks guys you did a fantastic job. We had a ball and were very tired in the end, maybe I'll not cache tommorow hahaha.TFTCSL TNLN you should see our track from the GPS 320km driven in total for the day with 185 caches visited.

Find 168 of 178 for the day. Started at Midnight this morning with the Nxy challenge, and continued till midnight tonight in a 24 hour caching hunt with McKee Clan on our bikes, and then joined at 3:30am by Emily~Angel, swapping our bikes for a 4WD, and finishing at Maclaren Vale with 178 finds for the day for McKee Clan and I, and about 120 for Emily~Angel. Had a ball, but was glad to hug the pillow in the end. See the McKee Clan log for more info.

PS: I'm definately not caching tomorrow!! (I'm paving instead...)

Mr emily~angel found this on a caching run with McKee Clan and Dennis52. TFTC

Approached from the West and continued onto the 4WD track in my 4X4 making this cache a drive by. Because this cache has not been found since August, the lid sealer had stuck itself onto the jar. I had quite a job to prize it open but eventually got there. Took in the nice views before continuing the final 600m on the 4WD track to Range Rd. TFTC

Interesting 'summer road only',
As we searched, a pristine 4wd came by to ask,
"How deep are those holes?"
I hope he made it up the road without getting too dirty,
...but I doubt it!!!
TFTC and the hunt, great views around here.

found it!!! one of 73 for the day!! tftc

A quick find, I'd been pondering about this cache beign accessable from the east and found that it was possible but there track is in need of some maintenance.

Thanks Team Spanner

Found with PaulvandenBraak 4x4 definitely needed this time of year as heaps of ruts and huge puddles

awsome drive down the track, good hide, found with shark15. really enjoyed this cache.

it was my first 4WD experience. Awesome. A big slippery puddle where I had my car completely sideways. Very cool. Thanks! left TB

This was our 3644th overall find.

Found at 10:32 AM. Took a short little drive to this one. I was a bit concerned by the 'Summer Road Only' sign but this was an easy drive to some fantastic views! A nice quick find.

Thanks Team Spanner for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found this one easily with our 4WD. Such a lovely spot, we took out our chairs and had our picnic lunch admiring the view. We had to position ourselves so that we could view the panoramic scene. Swapped Smokey the Koala with a snake.

Found with CFSFireFighter & Jodie, left smokey tattoo.

Found with cybercitizen and Jodie

we loved the views.TFTC Team Spanner

Came in on the 4WD track which is quite ruff and pot holed, great fun in the Geo Ranger. An easy find in a beautiful spot.
T - GOLF BALL & RUBBER BALL
L - BUG & DOG
Thanks for the cache!

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon so I thought I would find some almost local caches.
I was rewarded with a beautiful view just as the sun was setting.
Easy find if the trees do not get in the way of the sky.
TFTC.

6th find of the day and 1866th total find at 11:30.

It's not often that we get to go caching this far from home, but as we are both very fortunate to have a couple of weeks off - - -. By good planning or design this cache was on our list.

Great views, found marker pen near the cache. It wouldn't fit so we took it.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing (Screwdriver wouldn't fit)
Thanks Team Spanner for the cache.
Ian and Penny

Took my Hyundai Excel, very slowly and carefully, down the track from The Range Rd - OK when dry! Took nothing, left koala. TFTC.

Found on our day down south. We came in from Clergyman's Hollow, so did the entire length of the track. No problems for the Prado but may need to come back on a rainy day to check the cache.

Took the safe option with the AWD and walked into this one. An enjoyable stroll too thanks Team Spanner.

Excellent spot,nice easy find. Goe son was learning to drive today. Turned down the bumpy track and followed Rex.
Couple of good puddles right across the track created some concern to a new learning driver.
Found the cach and he even managed a 3 point turn to back after. Beautiful view, I wonder if I could buy a 1/4 acre just there to build a house on. TFC -TN - L Aust. Penny 1962

Enjoyed the approach to GZ. The track was dry, firm and bumpy but the views were great. Quick drive by.
TNLN

Great little hide! Interesting approach in a 2wd (not the normal geo vehicle) on a wet afternoon but with care was able to get very close. tftc

Thought we'd walk after seeing the mud, not brave enough to take the camry through there. TNLN TFTC
Ben and Muzza

Took the 4WD summer track on a wintery day in the work 2WD car... Great views, no jackass's took pig left monkey.
TFTC

We really enjoyed the drive in, TFTC.

What else do you do on Mothers day but get her relaxing while going after a few caches.
More like 'look Honey we are about to drive near a cache, can we do a quick detour, pretty please'.

Loved the drive in, not 2WD any more.
Easy find with a big smile from the little Miss.
TNLNSL

Found at 11:45. What a lovely drive. We drove right through for a look.
Nice view from GZ. Thanks.

Easy find, excellent views. Thanks for the cache

Not far from home.

Decided on caution over valour and parked the festiva part way down. found easily
TNLN TFTC team Spanner

No Jackass today, but a few roos about. Nice easy find. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Nice view. Thanks.

Found the cache at noon. Wow so beautiful view. No swap. Thanks Team Spanner for organising the cache and hunt.

Approached this one from the southern end (top of hill) in my 2wd car and was wondering if I would reach a spot where I couldn't go any further and then I would have to try and back all the way up the hill! But thankfully enough I reached the cache easily, and then kept exploring further down the hill and found the rest of the road was brilliantly refurbished and a easy drive pretty much right up to the cache! Didn't come across any jackass's!
Great views in this region!
TFTC

8th find of the day with BB...Cool road to drive on
TNLNSL and Thanks for the Cache

Found with PG06 on our impromptu caching day since the last round of the SA Rally Championships was cancelled. Great little location with nice views.

Thanks

Took the company car down the 4WD track - not much of a challenge at the moment.

Felt like I was in Jackass driving an unruly 2WD station wagon down the summer track, after rain...but the track was in okay nick. Sensational view in the late afternoon and a creatively placed cache. Nice one. Left the swedish chef and took the camel toy. FAnks folks,
Maux Faux and caux.

Thanks Spanners for getting Tarmar to a nice quiet spot with awesome views on a nice Sunday arvo. Sweet! TNLN

1100 hrs
Ignored the 4WD sign - drove down the road and were stopped by a dodgy wet patch - backed back & parked the Corolla - walked some 300m down the track & found the cache - walked back up the hill and admired the view - several times!

It was a damp sort of day, and our 2WD isn't that adventurous, so we parked and walked. Wind a bit brisk, and views a bit foggy, but otherwise a nice walk.

TNLNSL.

Found 13:55. Day 4 of our Fleurieu Caching Holiday, 9th of 12 on the journey home. Nice drive-by except for the wind, the rain, 4WD Muggles, 4 unruly geokids and the dodgy sat-loc otherwise nice cache . Took: Vegemite rubber + Pencil grip, Left: Golf ball + Heart shaped paper clamps, SL. TFTC and the great views.

Another slushy track, especially right near the cache. managed to avoid getting bogged and blocking the busy track. Found cache quickly, TNLN TFTC

Took sheep and left puppet.
Interesting little track.

Area was jackass free today...lol....took to the feet about 200m away....gr8 hide T horsie...L red springy monster....cheers....Burt96

Loved the vehicle track up the hill to this spot. Great view. Easy find.

Woo hoo! What a drive! We managed ok in our little Mazda 2WD on this dry summer afternoon. No burros in sight- darn!- but several sheep over on the other hill.... weren't curious about us at all. Cleverly hid cache was found and did our swaps all while enjoying such a wonderful view. Thanks for bringing us to this place. Want to come back when it is greener- maybe we can see the namesakes of this cache- they are just so cute.

OUT: Dutch Geocoin-QLD to Holland, cow finger puppet

IN: Sheep clip-on (it will hear the others calling and maybe they can talk long distance!?? LOL ), AU flag pick

Found with Team IJK on our little Fleurieu Trip

Very quick torch find. "I can see turkey land from here!"[?]Cache is full. TNLN, The road home is more dangerous.[|)]thanks.

Great views. Thanks.

5th of 15 finds today, there was a splended view just a k before GZ.
TNLN
Thanks Team Spanner

Beautiful hilltop view.
Kookaburras laughter greeted us as we arrived at this location.
A great scenic cache

12:00 pm - Arrived to find the Kookaburras laughing at us. In addition, a local girl asking who we are after hearing Skippy playing lullaby music over the UHF radio
Took: Japanese due; Left: To donkey
TB: Bouncing Around Australia stopped off to enjoy the views too, before continuing with us.

Cheers from The Barramundi's

Great road in from the top. Muggles in a shinny new 4x4 coming uphill looked like they were going to get it muddy for the first time!

Second of 3 Willunga caches on a Fleurieu trip

Rated: for Overall Experience

Came in from the North with an easy walk to GZ. Didn't expect to see too much traffic, but one car did go past. Took miniature stegosaurus, left white horse. Thanks Team Spanner.

11am what a lovely spot ..introducing another person to the art of getting lost & found..We must of done something O.K. they are now new Geo Caches ..Nick from Team Auster..

this was my first one , team auster showed me this wonder fully game only just found what it was called sorry 4 the late posting

The fire track is in pretty good condition at the moment. Should be fine so long as its dry. Found the cache quickly, a really great view from up here. Signed the log and moved on.

I came in from the high side without too much difficulty and found the cache easily. Took & left stuff, but I can't remember what. Thanks Spanners

Finally managed the time to get to this one whilst out doing 'Grape Day Out'.
Had tried once before from other end of road, not a good idea without a 4x4 geomobile! Road from West is very good, most of the way. Stopped and enjoyed the view, before doing a 15 point turn to go back down the hill!
Left a patch, took a matchbox limo.
Thanks

Could have named this cache 'Summer Track Only'. The Cruze didn't have any trouble handling the track, neither did the 'roos we saw. Cache is a little cramped at the moment, but managed to take a soldier and leave a cow finger puppet. Thanks Team Spanner.

Easy find with luvery views.
I walked down from the "main" road. In fact I could have driven, it is a very good track certainly not 4WD only when it is dry.

found in heavy mist no views what so ever tnln due to container very full cheers

First find for the day, minus one team member. Took a drive past the cache and found it without any trouble. Took soldier, left car. Lovely area!
Cheers,
-Stanley's

Found by Mary & David at 0930. Great views along a very civilised 4WD track. Rosellas, crows, magpies and sparrows were all on duty but, alas, the jackasses had Sturday morning off. Took parrot finger puppet, left mondo doll. The cache was nice and dry despite all the rain. Our thanks to Team Spanner.

No Jackasses or roos, but the sheep were very talkative. Been here many times before, hopefully the 4wd track will improve during winter .
Took a frog and left a finger puppet.
Thanks Spanners.
PS Glad you were allowed to do one cache today!

A fairly simple find once I got the GPS out of battery save mode! Nice quiet location with good views, took a Wilpena sew-on badge and left an SES keyring. Then on to tackle the 4WD track to the east. Cheers Team Spanner.

Great views and a nice little track. Took keyring and left figurine. Thanks Team Spanner.

No asses today.

Very impressive views. Love the house on the corner.

Bruce did the finding this time. Here I was wandering around in a haze. Must be a frog thing.

Last time I passed this area I missed its virginity by 1 day. I have returned and drove right up to the cache in the old Geo Merc. Great views and the breeze is nice on what is going to turn out to be a hot Autumn day.

8th of 10 before 10 today.

Fantastic views. Got the camera out. Took the 4WD track and soon had the cache in our hands. No jackasses today but a kangaroo watched us. Left magnet and Klem Bear and took nothing. Thanks Team Spanner.

First tried this one from the East and was confronted with a sign declaring 4WD only. I took it at its word and circled around to come in from the west. Found quickly. Left an electronic game from McDonalds and took nothing. Thanks for the views, Team Spanner

found with team tdgu

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
Not problemn driving to within metres of the cache in the WRX cache mobile. No jackasses around today but a great view on such a clerar day, with plenty of Rosellas on our trip up. (619)
Thanks Team Spanner

TGDU found it (courtesy of CJE and their trusty Magellen, i might add). Nice view, great shade and cool location. Took toys and left frog and toy.

Easy three poin turn helped the 2wds...

We parked the TeamBaggyGreens 'garbage bin' at the top of the hill - all crammed into the GeoCruiser and headed down the 4WD track.
In the end it was an easy find even though we found a 'decoy' hiding spot first!
We took an eraser and left a stamp.
PS No Jackasses today - just cachers.

We had to park the "Wheelie Bin" Rubbish Bin how rude!!...and piled into the Team Langy Geocruiser. An easy find and the great view made it even better. T Erasers & Singapore keyring L Shrek Stamps & Giant Bug.

There were muggles at GZ. Camera type muggles – no wonder, the view was terrific. I parked quite close and they decided to leave after a few minutes. The GZ spot was found and I left the Indian Figurine, and took the shoe laces.
Clear skies, and thanks Team Spanner, from TeamAstro.

Found by Barry and Beryl at 12.35 pm
The track was OK and we drove right to GZ in Pathfinder it was an easy find lovely views and as advertised there were plenty of rosellas in the area also a large Kangaroo watched from the adjoining paddock with interest as we retrieved the cache . No Kookaburras today.
Took nothing left Singapore key ring and Super Glue
Thanks Team Spanner

The 10min walk from the car was easy, but its definatly a 4WD track, and prolly even more so in winter.
Easy find, pity the walk wasnt as easy going back.

TNLNSL

Where does the Jackass bit come from?
Very interesting drive in via Peugoet 206!!! Even more interesting drive back out.
Yet anpther great view, thanks for bringing me here.
Took a dog & ball, Left a pair of shoelaces for the next walker! Cheers.
