On holidays with Big Red Car and Balow Clan at Millicent

thanks for bringing us here
 
27-Dec-11
Found lid and there was nothing inside. (FeePal, could you please check it?) Nice spot even though we didn't find the cache. Stayed for a while and GeoFamily had lunch.
 
12-Oct-11
Could not find this one, lifted the lid and nothing!! Beware the inch ants, lucky it got Geomum only, but a lovely spot and kids loved climbing the awesome trees in the park. This is a gorgeous spot for lunch and a worthy spot for a cache so hopefully if this one is gone it is back soon. Thanks for taking us to a place we would not have gone if not for caching....

Found easily enough but not without the worry of snakes in the area.
This was a lovely area to visit on our way through.
Thought it would be a lovely area to kayak, but then read the signs - better leave the bird life alone.

What a beautiful spot - we never knew it was here. Thanks for showing it to us.
 
Rocky Glen Grommets found this one whilst in Millicent for Stadium Cross (motocross) - this location was amazing - so very beautiful!
 
25-Oct-10
This was a beautiful spot. We disturbed a couple just setting up camp for a picnic lunch so they would have been very happy when we left them in peace. Had a search for a while before Tealby discovered the hide. Thanks for bringing us here and for the hunt FeePal.
 
25-Oct-10
What a lovely place to visit! Unfortunately we didn't have a lot of time up our sleeves to explore, but maybe there will be some more caches places within the park in the future to encourage me back on a future visit to the area. The cache has a cracked lid, so I would suggest the container be replaced to avoid it getting waterlogged in the future. TFTC.

Didn't spend a lot a time looking as the cache isn't where the hint tells us it is, but found gold broach among the surroundings, so believing it's been muggled. But will return after previous logs indicate it's elsewhere.

Very pretty area, it is nice to walk around the lake. Took geocoin and left teddy.

When driving past last week I had a feeling that I'd previously visited this cache. That feeling was confirmed today when I found my log dated 29/9/07 in the log book! I think that the weather was pretty much the same as well - cold and raining!

After approaching this one from the wrong road (the back entrance to the east) we missed all the good stuff, but at least we didn't miss the main objective - the cache!
That's what you get for not having any maps...
Made some swaps and signed the log, TFTC.
Find #542 for Echo & Spice.

Found with Kiwi Explorer on our caching road trip.

Heading towards the cache from the main road Kiwi Explorer decided to add airconditioning to his shorts as he stepped over the barbed wire fence. Not a good sight when you're the one behind! A quick change after finding the cache and all was well.

Found while on a caching road trip with Konie. This stop was hillarious, we approached from behind the parking area crossing the old barbed wire fence, I caught my shorts and ripped a 40cm hole in the bum of them (sorry no photo!). We carried on to find the cache and after a quick roadside wardrobe change continued on our way. TFTC.
