Day 4 of a 6 day stay on the island with the intentions of finding all the caches on the island, we succeeded finding all of them with no DNFs Smilethe stay was fantastic even though we were in a heatwave while staying here, luckily we had an air conditioned accommodation, while here we saw lots of Kangaroos, Wallabies, Goannas, Seals and lots of different species of birds, according to Mrs 3LGs fitbit we walked around 60 kilometres during the 6 days hereSmile ,Cache was still showing on my GPS and cache is still there so signed the log book, just be careful of the cactus in the area.

Tftc it was an interesting location. Not under an acicia tree, it might have been at one point or another but not anymore.

Like the others say, it's mouldy. The logbook is also FULL!

Found the cache down the hill and decided to proceed up here.

Cache was found quickly despite the bush in the hint not being identifiable.

Cache is in desperate need of maintenance and log was unsignable (photo will be attached)... CO or a friendly cacher can you bring a new container and log.

Thanks nonetheless mrpieman

This was an afternoon search not far from our holiday accommodation while on holidays with OrangeMaple. Believe we saw fellow cacher arrive just before us. Lovely bay. Thankyou.

Found whilst on holiday with Louie's Pack. stayed close by and on a sunny and not so cold afternoon ventured out for this discovery. In need of some TLC as it's very wet. We did our best but being on holidays we didn't have our kits with us.

What a great day! Some very generous people allowed me to accompany them and undertake my first trip to Kangaroo Island. Cool
I picked up sushilord and then we caught the ferry to KI where Moneydork and Tounga met us and the caching (and photo taking) day started.
At the end of the day, I had 26 cache finds Smile and 1 event attended Cool
We even managed a group FTF on a cache that had waited some weeks for our arrival Wink

BBB this isn't! [^]
Found by Moneydork and signed by me after I got down the slope in one piece and without being stabbed by BBB plants Wink

The cache is not well hidden anymore. So quick find. TFTC
 
20-Jan-15
This was a disappointing hunt, the GPSr was all over the place due to heavy cloud cover.
I wandered around an approximate GZ, managed to slip on some rocks, got stabbed in the foot by a sharp stick, and a local bloke driving past in a ute looked at me like I was committing a terrible crime!

By now, my missus was getting stroppy in the car waiting for me, so I left empty handed.
I must come back to KI and clean up a few of the DNF's and caches I didn't have time to look for.

Nice bay! Beautiful houses!
We enjoyed the company of the birds!
TFTC!

We loved emu bay... Mostly for the big birds with strange beaks... Are they Pelicans or storks? I'm not an ornithologist.

The cache... Relatively easy, but there is so much rubbish around. Needs a CITO here.

Lilousof and Redgremlin on a geocaching tour down-under... Or maybe it's a holiday... Stop six ... Kangaroo Island... Beautiful place - mission: kangaroos, koalas and beautiful scenery with beautiful caches

Thanks to all the cache hiders that made this trip memorable.

Thanks for the cache!

Cache has received some TLC and is as good as new with several new trinkets added as well. Tks for the maintenance advice and tks to my KI sis for doing it for me Smile
 
13-Oct-13
Time was moving on and I was thinking of starting to head back to our camp at Penneshaw when Mrs.R asked - "Are we going to Emu Bay?" Heck, why not!! A nice spot to visit too. The cache is wet, the new log book is damp but the old log book is soaked. We placed each log book in a fresh separate zip lock bag but the cache really needs to be dried out properly. TFTC.

We came up to Emu Cove this morning for a look around and I took the chance to grab this one. Struggled for a while but when I saw that there'd been over 150 finds and no DNFs I knew it couldn't be that hard. Widened my search and made the find. A lot of water inside but I signed the log after pouring it out. Needs urgent maintenance though.

Thanks!
