thanks for bringing us here

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.
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....
Looked and looked found a lid nothing under it wondering if this cache is no longer there
Fools rush in in particular me thought that the co ords were out, no sign of hint whatsoever where I stopped which was only 60m from cache never mind blundered on to find it the hard way, container lid is broken. TNLN
Busy area to decide which one to move, found after a bit of scratching around, took car left necklace
Contents might get wet as top is broken, the metal flap gives it some protection but it looks a s thought some one has dropped a big rock on it and bent it down onto the containers lid and cracking it, TFTC
We had to go the long way round for this one as muggles where haveing lunch close by.
nice hide thanks.

Nice easy find for the kids, quick stop while driving through. Nice area . TNLNSL
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.

Thanks for the cache in a lovely area.

Rocky Glen Grommets found this one whilst in Millicent for Stadium Cross (motocross) - this location was amazing - so very beautiful!
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.
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.
On way to Mt Gambier for the day
The weather was really awful raining

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.
Nice hide. Thought it had been muggled when not where clue states, but found nearby.

Stopped here for morning tea on a very damp morning are sure it look much better on a sunny day. Great hide, log book full. TFTC.
What the?! Really cool hide, quite unique I believe. Quick scramble from the car and #20 for the day was in hand. Cheers from Sydney.
Rated: for Overall Experience

Geokids first find!
Had fun trying to find it, didn't know how to use the GPS, but somehow managed to find the cache.
Very pretty area, it is nice to walk around the lake. Took geocoin and left teddy.

This was a quick stop on the way past. Lots of birds in the lake and a few muggles in the area, but not close enough to be a problem. Nice hide.
Pristine bird watchers picnic spot on our way to Millicent......liked the hiding place. Thanks for the cache.
It is a good spot for lunch. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed - even geo dogs, so we just quickly found the cache and went to have lunch somewhere else.

Found by Nat and Daniel at 3:20 PM with Ray and Maya (nomads) on a day trip along the wind turbine tourist drive. We were suprised so many turbines were not operating. TNLN TFTC. The Nomads.
Found by supertiger and nomads. Easy find on day trip from mount gambier. TNLN TFTC
Easy to find. Took a brand new bolt (nice and shiney) and left the singing Julian (you've got to move it!)
Was still hard at work with a RallyHead but just stopped in to have a quick find. Log book is full and we didn,t have a spare to leave
We stopped here and admired the view from the boardwalk before finding the cache.
Ants had taken up residence on the cache!

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.

TFTC probably wouldn't have stopped here so thanks for the cache, nice location and a great place to stretcch the legs.
The kids enjoyed this one, easy but with an added twist with the different options . We made sure the next cacher will have the same experience.

Interesting quarry, I've seen a couple now in the last few days. A short stop and the cache was found with the aid of a good clue, mind you there were a couple of places I could have searched!
