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.

A lovely detour and stop for us today as we drive our way from Mildura to Crystal Brook.

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.

18-Aug-22
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

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.

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. Surprised

Thanks for the cache Cached & Devil Racer Ryan. Smile

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.
