A day spent in Coffin Bay National Park with Hellyonfire battling the roads and slowly making our way around cleaning up caches as we went. A beautiful day and beautiful scenery. TFTC

Out doing my two favourite things Driving and caching with my geosister H432LJoint Coordinate Accuracy: perfect Cache Condition: excellent Took: nothing Left: nothing TFTC

While in Pt Lincoln we had 2 more older caches that was on our Wishlist. So we teamed up with the dynamic duo, wheres_wolly_sharon for a day exploring the Widbey Wilderness Area of the Coffin Bay N.P.Tide was good and it was nice drive out along 7 Mile Beach heading to Sir Isaacs. Great scenery near GZ and it wasnt too windy. Off with the thongs and on with the boots and it wasnt long before cache was in hand. We headed back to The Pool Campground for lunch. The feral bees became a bit annoying, but it would make a good camp spot bar them.Thanks gazzan1 for this adventure tftc and Wolly and Sharon as our tour leaders.

Awesome cache and thanks to Wheres Wolly and Sharon for fixing it up. Still standing strong! Also congratulations on marriage!

TFTC. Views are amazing, definitely worth the drive.

Replaced container, left 2 x path tags, fav point!

Happy caching and safe travels!

A little tricky- this definitely needs a new container (which I had no replacement for) so if you go hunting- take a new fruit container sized box as a replacement!

Needs replacing the container

Couldn't find it.

TFTC what a location.

Seek explore camp

Container is broken but contents dry. What an amazing place

Found it quickly. Wet spent the night at Yangie Bay Campground and drove in today to Sir Isaac point. Excellent views along the road and an awesome spot for the cache.

Unfortunately the container is in need for repair as it is broken. We did not have a replacement of this size with us so hid it back as found.

What better place to hide a cache? Beautiful views and serenity. Thanks for the hide. The cache container is becoming a little brittle however it’s so well tucked away that I don’t think it would be really an issue. Thanks again.

Found it during a road trip in South Australia for Christmas break.
What an adventure to reach this cache. We drove for the first time over the sand dunes. Every bay and lookout was amazing.
At GZ quick find. We signed the book and put everything back where we found it.
Thanks to bring us there. +1 favourite point

What a fantastic adventure, Thankyou for bringing us here. Tftcsl

Its great ( read; awesome)to find a cache here. A great day; 4wd and geocashing as well!! Great spot!! Tftc!!!!!

Great drive to reach cache. TFTC

Great view. found with can’t hide and Mackenzie64

Needs a new container

Worth the drive

We drove and camped at The Pool campground. Today we walked the short distance to GZ.
The cache was found with a hole in the side. Unfortunately we only had a small container that wasnt big enough to hold the larger log book. We put the log in a zip lock bag to protect it a bit longer.

Found no worries today big swell one whale in the distance. Tftc

Thanks! Great view / cache is broken needs a new container for whoever comes here next. Pen was cactus so I left a pencil!

TFTC. Hole in box but we weren’t prepared with anything to replace it with.

We had a good treck out here to find your cache. Container is ok but in need of replacement for the next cacher. Plenty of log space. TFTC.

Found with e.gregory1 and Laighside Legends while out exploring Coffin Bay for the day. Amazing views from near GZ, especially with the fantastic weather here today.

Thanks gazzan1 for the cache.

Found It!
I made the drive out to this one with e.gregory1. An interesting drive although it took most of the day. Some nice views from GZ and we quickly found the cache once there!
TFTC

Another great day exploring around The Eyre Peninsula, this time in Coffin Bay NP with EsromL and Laighside Legends.

It was a fantastic day weather-wise and great to be able to get out and see this remote place.

The cache was quickly found, but not before a rat seems to have chewed a hole in the container and eaten most of the logbook! This one needs some CO attention.

Thanks gazzan1 for the cache.

While exploring with friends we found this one

been here some years ago tracks are rough

Quickly found, while the wind was blowing around my head and the sun was fighting with the clouds. No other people around here. Just amazing.

Cache is in good condition. TFTC

What an awesome spot. Thanks for bringing us our here. Have been to coffin bay a couple of times camping at black Springs and only ever made it as far as fishing on seven mile beach. This time because we had more time we decided to tick off past the beach and so glad we did. Pen isn't working but found an ikea pencil in my handbag (I wonder if ikea knows how much the inadvertently sponsor geocaching) and left that in the cache. Happy Easter!!

Lovely spot. A little windy today.
TFTC

After an great drive into the heart of the park , we setup camp at Morgan's Landing, before heading out to this point - our second objective in coming to explore the area this weekend [8].
Really enjoyed watching the waves crashing over/between the rocks here and someone else threw a line into the water and caught a Salmon, all within 30 seconds .
After walking out on the rocks to 'lands end,' we came back to find the cache [^]. TNLNSL.
Thanks for bringing us here Gazzan1 - a place we can now cross off our bucket list [^]!

Very much enjoyed the adventure on 4x4 track out to this cache. A great spot for a geocache and was very happy to find it.

Found with Redmond while looking for a camp ground. TFTC

Tftc. Very cool spot

Great spot T4TC

Found with Mannyisom... beautiful spot. beyond words really. nice to find a cache here too. With Mannyisom on a hot day after enjoying Sensation beach

Camping at Coffin Bay National Park (Morgan's Landing) for a few days. Out for the day at Sensation Beach, then on to Point Sir Isaac. Easy find with BluedeardOZ. All in good order. TNLNSL TFTC.

Beautiful spot!

And lovely to fish. And if you've forgotten you sinkers fear nit, there is now I've in the cache.

Thanks for the cache

As this is a very remote cache it needs help from time to time.
In this case it seems to have been done.
I big thanks to all those who enjoyed/supported the cache and the location it brought you to.
If the gods are smiling I hope to get back there in the near future.

Great views TFTC I took a ball and left a golf tee. Cache is in good condition

Great spot! Swapped dinosaur for blue hair clip

Nice find great views

Visited on Xmas Eve, beautiful rocky part of the coast. Stopped for lunch, watched the sea birds.

So so beautiful! TFTC Took sinker left Smiley Ball.

I enjoyed the leisurely cruise in the geomobile this morning from Black Springs campground to reach this extremity of the national park
Spectacular views and so nice to see a bit of surf rolling in, after the flat-water action of Coffin Bay [:o]

As I neared GZ a flock of emus were grazing on the open grasslands.
They made their way cautiously past me when they saw me coming.
The cache was an easy find near the navigational beacon that adorns this wind and wave swept point [^]

With the logbook signed and cache re-hid, there was just one last thing I needed to do...

Some feral, small brained person had decorated the lighthouse with obscene graffiti [:(!]
But "If" also has a few cans of spray paint in the geomobile
Primarily for giving geocaches a bit of camo !!
In this case one of the tins of an earthy tone came in handy to hide the pointless 'tagging'

This cache is the furthest from my home town of Brisbane on our epic adventure on the Eyre Peninsula. Thanks

Nice spot, great waves to look at. Extremely windy. TN, Left butterfly, Thanks.

Awesome view, our second find but our first log! Thanks

Second ever find but our first ever log, thanks

Yess! What a beautiful sunset! It took us longer than expected to get out to here, from camp Morgan's Landing. It took us a bit of effort at Phantom Cove. The Blue Desert Drive made it out to here, all the way, through the dunes in Lincoln National Park, as well as the track out here! No dramas! Straight onto the granite rocks. It is those rocks, which preserve this peninsula from erosion. If there wasn't that underlying granite ranges, the whole Eyre peninsula wouls have been gone, such a the lands of the Great Australian Bight - all washed away! Enjoyed the sunset and sad, we need to leave tomorrow.... TFTCM, well appreciated!

With an interesting road to get here, we made this one our second cache for our day of exploration of the Coffin Bay Peninsula tracks.
Quick, easy find. No swaps. It was interesting to see that this was another in Gazzan’s 4WD series. We had found a similar ‘Breakaways’ ID card in the Bendleby Ranges almost exactly 12 months ago. Thanks for bringing us here Gazzan1. Cheers.

Worth the drive. Gave a friend whiskas cause cats aint allowed in the park

Worth the drive on a beautiful saturday drive in Coffinbay national park

Nice easy find beautiful day, a few fishing here today.

Found with "How Do They Know?" on our 4WD club trip to the Coffin Bay National Park. We had a welcoming committee of 3 emus. A beautiful location and didn't get blown away by wind today. Left a TB. Thanks gazzan1.

"Are We There Yet!", a couple of good friends and l were camping nearby at Morgans Landing and had planned to visit this fantastic spot. Great location for a cache with a very curious welcoming committee of 3 large Emus that came within 20 metres of us. The spring weather was ideal! Thanks for the cache gazzan1.

Great drive. TFTC. Took TB. JREJOS.

I brought the cachers and 15 4WD's past this one.
Cheers

Part of the group find on our 4WD club Coffin Bay day trip. A rather windy and slightly wet day but we still had heaps of fun.

Left Lincoln National Park for a day of driving the dunes and tracks of Coffin Bay National Park and of course grab some caches along the way.

Replaced the container and wasnt the 7 mile beach fun getting here. TFTC.

a group find was made here and shared it with the muggles
found with Firesafe on our Pt Lincoln 4wd journey

#2000 WOO HOO our 2000th made even more special as it was a combined milestone with DazzPete who reached their 1500th find at this location . Found on day 4 of our Eyre Escape. GeoD had preselected this cache as our possible milestone cache a few months ago, it seemed to be right up our alley with the remote 4WDing. After quite a bit of overnight rain the weather cleared enough for us to tackle it today so we were full steam ahead. Had a bit of fun driving up 7 mile beach as the tide was coming in, we breathed a collective sigh of relief when the track turned inland again . The area was totally different to what we expected and the drive longer but we had a beaut day nevertheless. Timed our visit to GZ to perfection as we could see the front bearing down on us but we still had time to take photos before we had to retreat to the vehicles. Did some touring of the area waiting for the tide to start retreating again. TNLN our thanks to gazzan1 for the adventure [^] and a big CONGRATULATIONS to DazzPete on reaching 1500

Note: as previous log states there are some holes in cache container & despite the ziplock bag holding the notebook being ripped, the notebook & contents were dry. We were carrying a spare ziplock bag so replaced that.

Wohoo 1500th our joint milestone with skullracing as they hit 2000. We had picked this remote cache to be our 1500th back in the planning stages of our Eyre Escape 2011 trip.

As previous loans have said the container is in a poor state but skullracing replaced the log bag so it should be right for a little longer but the next finder might want to bring a new container.

We rescued Erik the TB
Left our Eyre Escape 2011 Pathtag

this cache needs a new container got quite a few holes in it

Beautiful spot

So happy to find this remote cache! Have been here before, this made it special. Its like coming home whenever we visit Coffins.

excellent spot on a great day
drove right up to water edge on rocks
took filthy rabbit purse
Left land rover travel bug

Tried to find this one but does not appear to be there. I wonder if those rodents mentioned in the last find have totally consumed cache!

What a great spot and a terrific drive to get there!

Some rodents have nibbled holes in the container, but it is still there. A new container would be a good idea.

Thanks gazzan1 for the scenic cache

Found cache easily after lovely 4wd excursion with Lurgies. TNLN. TFTC.

We found this cache with Barryi on a day trip. An Idyllic spot but a bit cold to fish. Great cache.

T - Bunya's Buddha Geo Coin
L - Old Asian coin with a square hole

We didn't find it because we didn't get there. We agree it's medium to heavy sand driving, depending on conditions. Future seekers might like to see our comments on Phantom Cove. We would camp next time. Great place to got, though, thanks gazzan1.

Another one thanks to tweety2. Great day for a drive. Great views again.

Well with the others beside us we got this one on our tour around coffin bay NP. What a spot never been htis far before but will have to come back if it looks like it did. But no time to stop for to long we had more things to explore. TFTC
T - Geocoin - double

Only our second ever visit out here, and it just keeps getting better! The water was very inviting, but we still had some touring to do before we got back to camp. TFTC

FOUND RODEO RIDER TB PLACED FLIEGENPILZ GEO COIN

Hi, can the next cacher please move TB Rodeo Rider on as he needs to do a lot of travelling to reach his destination.Thank you.mabar

Our first find Yahoo with some help from Team Enigma

Found it no worries, accompanied by Sooze, Chris and young Dylan. TN, left a fluffy bunnie. Cache in good nick. Nice spot, if you come bring your board and check out the beaches on the south side for some awesome surf.

Great place for a spot of fishing. I heard before I left Adelaide that there were wild ponies in this park but when I arrived mates told me they had been moved on. I left the travel bug because of the pony connection. Took computer memory board.

Checked location and contents. Added new pen. All other attributes are ok.

Found it with a little help from owner and fellow club member.
Cache is in good condition and what a great location to visit. We are here on a 1 week camping holiday with the Breakaways and a few others. Den, Pete, Craig, Rene, Gary, Anne, Helen, George.

TNLN, TFTC,

Helen Schmal.

Ouch! Take heed people. The rocks here have sharp edges!

Great tracks and fun on the way to this cache and while I was searching I heard the sounds of my friend's cars leaving! This cache is a long, long way from home and I was going to find it regardless but never fear they were not leaving just moving to a more photogenic spot.

Have found other Caches But could not find this one at the light becon.
