Thanks for this cache. It was a fun one. We did forgot our pen because kids and noted the log was full.
#5611 Second day of our big adventure to the west. Travelling between Renmark where it blew a gale last night and en-route to Peterborough. We stopped at this lovely town on our way back home from our Eyre Peninsula adventure last year. Didn't attempt this cache then but we gave it a go today and was elated to make the find. TFTC Cached.
Without the hint this cache would be impossible, with the hint it made it fun. I stepped on my glasses which wasnt fun. A nice part of Morgan. Tftc
Stopped in Morgan for lunch and fuel. Spotted this one near where we have caught the punt previously. Not sure why we haven't stopped in the past. Walking up to gz had me worried, but it was in the first place that I looked (that doesn't happen very often lol). We love rail history and are on our way to Peterborough to enjoy the museum there. TFTC
Found with tassie expat whilst exploring this nice area. A bit worried at first by the difficulty rating but Found within minutes. Thanks for placing it.
A quick find while heading to NSW from Yorke Peninsula spending a couple of nights at Bower to grab a few caches.TFTC
Took me to goes but today I found it after finding it I dont know why I didnt find it the first time tftc
Straight onto the Hyde easy find good coordinates and hint. Took nothing left something that it is getting a bit full now for this size hide. Lovely precinct here in Morgan may well come back and stay.
We picked this up during our stop over on our houseboat trip. Nice easy access from the river, and a cool hide. TFTC
A lovely detour and stop for us today as we drive our way from Mildura to Crystal Brook. With a good hint and a possible likely spot seen, we made short work of this one and soon had our name added to the log. We love the turntable here and the fact that it has been preserved over these years. Thanks for highlighting this through Geocaching. Domsky
Coordinates and hint spot on. Thanks for hiding that Geo took all about 30 seconds.
Was expecting a hard hunt for this one, but hint was right on the money, so cache was quickly found. TFTC
It's been a while since our last get together to spend a day caching with Weredunn4 and Cheezel1961. With all the stuff occurring in each of our daily lives and work etc, the stars seem to align today for an outing out together, targeting the TDF series. Plus a few in easy range, hey were are out this way, may as well do them. Plus the usual target of interesting, unique D/T grids as well as high T caches.Thanks for this one, an easy find.TFTC SL
Its been a while since weve teamed up, but the 3 Stooges (weredunn4, WayneAPN, Cheezel1961) are back at it again Today we are targeting the Tour de France (TdF) series plus any other interesting caches we might cross paths with.Cache quickly found and stampedTFTC
Tackling the TDF series with Cheezel and Wayne APN. Dropped into Morgan for the AKL and a few caches. Found in wrong corner, reinstated to correct corner as per the hint.
Caravan trip to the Riverland. Day 2, Roonka to Cadell.Morning tea stop in Morgan, nice quick find thanks to a spot on hint.TFTC
Caching on my way across the Nullabor for the 6th time in the last 18 months. TFTC.
Nice hide. Didn't take long.

Well finally after several years looking for this little sucker Mrs One-eyed & I agreed to have one final go. After hearing something rattle near me the cache was located. Much shouting & excitement came from 80year old One-eyed.TFTC
On our way to burra stopped to stretch our legs and grab a couple of cache, could go past a 4.5 and to our surprise found it quite quickly so happy too, thanks for placing this cach
This long weekend, I and J plus the little one visited riverland. We spent two and a half days, visited Nuriootpa, Barmera, Berri, Loxton, Renmark, SA/VIC border, Waikerie, Morgan, and nearby towns. On the trip, we found 54 caches on the way, including Traditional Cache, Puzzle Cache, Multi Cache, Wherigo Cache, Letterbox Hybrid Cache, and Lab Adventure caches.
This was the 49th find for the trip. First find in Morgan.
The difficulty rating is not as high as I expected, although I made it unnecessary difficult by approaching from the wrong side.
Found the cache, and signed the log. Nice hide.
Thanks for the cache, Cached & Devil Racer Ryan.

Ah, my favourite - the "spot a little cache on a big hunk of historic rust" cache
Stopped by here after lunch, took a few minutes but found this one eventually.

I hadn’t planned more than a loo break here but after chatting to a local worker about the murals he told me of another in the craft shop. We got chatting about aussie art/ silo murals etc and I mentioned I had seen heaps on this trip. I told him I was a geocacher and he pointed to this and said he knows if heaps and that thus was a tricky one his mate was still unable to find. I just had to give it a go and allowed myself 10minutes. Well damn! I found it in one minute. Only coz I found one in Kadina recently hidden almost the same way and spot. Jolly well done and love the name. I certainly felt topsy turvey doing it
In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Just found it. Wasn't exactly at the corner, but not too hard after looking for a bit.
My picture just shows what kind of box you are looking for. Might help xD

Looked for ages, investigating every nook and cranny. Now couldn’t find it. As a last resort we climbed up into the carriage to find it sitting in a puddle of water with a very wet logbook.
Used waterproof pen to sign and rehid on the SW corner as the hint suggests.
Thanks Cached for the placement.

TFTC nice find quick drive by out and about with geo wife LynSteNet just got into Morgantown have some lunch
An early morning was planned with gridge98 and LíB heading north to grab caches along the way not knowing where we would end up. We had a fun day and found ourselves in Morgan for some lunch before heading back via some out of the way caches that we all hadn't been to. [^]
This one was made easy for us as we had a previous finder to help.
Thanks for the cache Cached & Devil Racer Ryan.

# 3 for the day on our road trip back to NT after buying our new camper. TFTC. Was about to give up when we read some logs and there it was
We discussed different directions.....we found it.....it wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. TFTC
Used my compass to work out where SW is, then read the activity to find the cache at NW!
A great hide and climbing and balancing act!

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I commenced our mega journey to the north! We had a final farewell breakfast with family in Burnside, and then started the drive, as a small amount of rain fell (Adelaide crying perhaps?). We took the route through Kapunda stopping at a few geocaches, and then had a rest in Eudunda whilst grabbing a cornish pasty. We then arrived at a friend's shack just outside of Morgan after lunch, and enjoyed an afternoon of Murray river kneeboarding and water skiing.
Before heading to our friend's place, we thought we'd call into the centre of Morgan, and check out this high difficulty geocache. We thought it was kind of the CO to provide a corner to focus on as per the hint, however a solid search around there didn't yield any cache. We then expanded our search around, and in the end, the recent replacement container was found in the NW corner, so the hint may need to be updated (or otherwise perhaps someone used the structure's rotation?). The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Cached & Devil Racer Ryan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.
