So Long, and thanks for All the Fish Port Lincoln, South Australia, Australia

Thanks to everyones patience, but I think we'll archive it so others can use these points.

Thanks to all.

It seems that the whilst the final cache hasn't moved, the area around it has. Diesel69 had volunteered to help fix it. I'll let you know soon.

We found what we thought was the first stage, but it looks like the position to the next stage had fallen off or been rubbed off.

Nice spot, though.

Went with collinsmob who said WP1 was driving them mad (or should we say the lack of being able to find it!) Mr matmob finally located it, but the next co-ordinates are almost unreadable - if you need it replaced, collinsmob would be happy to help. Look forward to returning one day and completing the other points.

Couldn't find this one, will have to come back again and have another look sometime. Wonder if it is still there or not?

Stage 1 was easy once I remembered the hint (and thanks to Diesel69 for confirming it was still there before we commenced our search)
Stage 2 was also easy to find but impossible to read - I was the only one out of 3 of us that could make out any numbers
Stage 3 beat us - I think I must have read the coordinates wrong, or of course we just couldn't find it, either way, we had fun trying - TFTC

We didn't get out to the final location (although I suspect we were close by the day before, having a great time). We did find the first and second points succesfully.

So as we leave Port Lincoln after a lovely week, we say as the dolphins did when they departed earth - "So long and thanks for all the fish!"

With many thanks to Diesel69 we finally got this one back online. Hope you all enjoy.

Looks like stage 1 has gone again, I'll rethink it and get it back online as soon as possible. If attempting, email me and we'll see what we can do

Tried all the obvious places while acting tourist. Ended up head down under all the bushes to no avail. Nice spot

Found WP#1 and even better found $5 in the bushes during my search. Headed down to WP#2 this morning but after about twenty minutes I gave up. It might be there, but I have no idea where. Never fear we will return.

Thanks to Diesel69 for fixing Stage 1, Stage 2 also OK. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for your patience

Well we finally got to find the last cache thanks to help from Snowone with the co-ords from part 1 and 2. The cache is in good condition and took keyring and left front end loader. Thanks Snowone.

Apparently Stage 1 is down, I'll get it fixed and back up as soon as possible

Spent quite a while on a fruitless search of bushes and upon high looking for the first part of the cache. Hoping someone might give me a clue in case it is not still there?.

[Took two more attempts over two days, but eventually cracked it. The first time I should have trusted my
Garmin as it put me precisely on the spot for the second stage, but I was looking for] a physical cache e.g. container and despite my eyes being about a foot away could not spot the note. [Hadn't brought a pen with me so copied the coordinates down on my mobile phone. When I went looking for the final stage it seemed that it was just too far away, so went back and re- checked. I had read 1. as 6. With the correct coordinates it was an easy find for the third stage. I took the Phantom card and left a pack of new batteries. (always handy) An excellent challenge, Snowone, and I really enjoyed it. All the coordinates were very accurate and the placements for each stage were interesting. These were all haunts of mine as a kid. I remember some fun times as a teenager with surfing, soft women and hard liquor at the final site. ( this was of course before my present incarnation as a healthy living, milk drinker)]

Intended to finish this today and spent some time getting close to the GZ. Unfortunately it poured with rain all day, and after three abortive attempts at the second stage, I decided discretion was the better part of valour.

great caches, swapped hat for a wallet,a pack of tissues and some figurines.A little concerned that the writing on the second stage of the cache is faded and may be hard to read in the near future.thanks for the caches they were a lot of fun.

After much searching of the lavender bushes, decided to seek a higher plane of existence and soon met with success. Had a brief drive by looking for the second stage, but got distracted by all the vintage cars down the foreshore and then ran out of time. Will continue asap.

Spent an interesting afternoon travelling around doing this one.

Took Yukidaruma TB

TFTC snowone and good luck in your move to a more cachelated area.

Completed 2 out of 3 steps this afternoon, and will hopefully get the last one done tomorrow on the way back to adelaide.

So far, a very good cache, and im sure that the last point wont let me down.
