Over from Melbourne, for the school holidays, for our first visit to the Eyre Peninsula. Really enjoying it so far. Today it was time to explore the Coffin Bay area.

What a fantastic National Park. We have seen two groups of baby emus crossing the road, kangaroos and all sorts of sea life down at the beach - including something that looked like an Octopus, but we found out later in the day at one of the park signs that it was a squid.. The kids absolutely loved beach combing back at the start of the park and playing on the dunes.

TFTC diesel69. A plowfive pathtag left for the next finder or the CO.. who ever gets there first.

You guys are so lucky to have the Eyre Peninsula - its amazing!

There is definately no point avoiding it!

Hi there diesel69.

We found your cache **"No Point Avoiding It"** at 2:17:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 15697).

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around Elliston today. On our tour we found a wide variety of container types amongst our 4 caches (& 0 DNF's) today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Cache trash.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Out on an arfternoon cruise. Easy find TFTC

The wind here today was almost enough to blow a dog off his chain. "Blowing like snot" some would say. So we had to be very careful with our handling of cache container & log, otherwise they would be scattered to the four winds. The view was still pretty speccy though - what we could see of it through our watery eyes.
 
17-Jul-16
Found it. Took a bit of hunting

Then I read in the notes that the original may have been sturdier.

11:37:00 AM. Leaving Port Lincoln and heading north before heading west enjoying our trip around. The day didn't look so good and it was blowing a howling southerly so off to the National Park we went. We took a replacement cache with us but my logs weren't up todate and it wasn't needed. After a good search the better half found the cache. It was on the north side not the south. All good. Signed log and rehid. Thanks diesel69 for placing this cache.

Great hide
 
18-Sep-14
I have to admit that I had been avoiding it Red Face
I drove into the National Park four days ago and did not detour out to the point.
On my drive out of the park today I could avoid it no longer [:o]

The views, as to be expected, were spectacular Smile
The surf crashing into the cliffs below, kept me mesmerised for half an hour on the way to the cache Razz
Such big waves !!

I did eventually make it to GZ and after a bit of a look around, found the cache Smile
Needs some TLC though !!
The container has been chewed and the insides are wet.
I couldn't sign the logbooks, so left a few new bits of paper in a small zippy bag.

My stroll back to the geomobile took another half hour as I was constantly distracted by the views [^]

Top spot !! Big Grin
 
23-Aug-14
Windy on the cliff top. Easy find
 
22-Jul-14
Illusive was this one. Understood the hint but still no luck. Much commotion down below as waves crash in. Great spot.
 
13-Jul-14
Very breezy out today but had great views. Finished off with seeing our first whale.....
 
11-Jul-14
Found it on our visit to Coffin Bay. Thanks for the view
 
08-May-14
Quick find whilst camped at the National Park for a few days. Fantastic coastline. Took a little while to find cache (our GPS had us 6 meters away), and when we resorted to the clue we got a little confused! Eventually found it, signed log and left a penny. TFTC.
 
06-May-14
A DNF for me. I am concerned about the vegetation as there were some broken bits around GZ. I only read other logs after leaving the area and do urge a change of GZ coordinates to protect the plants. Thanks for taking us to this lovely spot diesel69, without your cache we may well have stayed in the car park area.

Miss GG and myself were on Mini camping Holiday in Port Lincoln and we decided to break up our drive around the area and grab some caches on the way.

We hand picked all the caches this time on our way over and the caches that we did in Port Lincoln as its quite over whelming arriving at a new location with so many caches.. at the end of the day we use caching to make the drive to a location more interesting and not to do every single cache in the town.. as that will be no holiday at all. Gotta leave some for the next trip right?

Please forgive us for a generic log, as we are logging days after doing these caches, We enjoy the challenge of every cache and we try to put custom comments on the ones we remember.

Today we Traveled to Coffin Bay and surroundings.. plus a bit of a coastal walk when we got back Very Happy

Thanks for the cache Diesel69 Very Happy

Today we did not even think of avoiding it... grabbed in between muggles Very Happy
Until next time - First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again
 
24-Apr-14
Today was Darknstormy and my third full day in Port Lincoln so we decided to make our way to coffin bay and the national park and come back and look around the city some more Smile

The day was looking to be great, weather was beautiful and some great sights were in store for us today Smile

What a beautiful area Smile loved the walk and would love to be able to go further into the park but that will have to wait till we purchase a 4wd Sad

Thanks diesel69 for the cache Smile

A quick stroll along some rugged and beautiful coastline and the cache was soon in hand Big Grin. TFTC.
 
16-Jan-13
Found with Dad after attempting to catch a fish at Almonta, we had a bit of a search but found it on the North side of the bottle neck. TFTC.
 
16-Jan-13
I had taken the lad fishing to Almonta beach and had caught nothing. So as kids do he got bored and decided caching would be a better option. We drove around to the carpark and wandered down the track to this great location. After quite some time we founfd this cache hidden a bit away from GZ and on the North side of the funnel neck not the South side as noted in the description. TFTC.

Better DNF, as the area is pretty sensitive in terms of vegetation. I approached GZ, but then poling in the bush, which has to resist wind, sand storms, salt, heat and cold, might mot be the right thing. Walking around it would loosen the soil which then will be taken away. Brief, not a god spot to hide a geocache. There is plenty of rock around, with holes and everything, which would make it a fantastic location. In particular, remembering the first time I've got here five years ago, with turquoise waters and white beaches! Love the area!

Found by edmil & Maddie on 3/1/2013. Well found by edmil as Maddie decided it was much cooler in the car with the aircon on. I used my phone to locate the cache and was getting a bit worried that I might run out of battery before I found it, but I was in luck. Log signed but no swap made. Thanks for the cache the views were well worth the walk in the heat. Our micro compass rose geocoin dropped by for a visit to mark the find.

A quick find on a day out in the park. Some excellent view of the rugged coastline around here. Just to join in the discussion on the cache location, we found it about 3 mtrs SW of GZ. No swaps, SL. Thanks for the cache.
