Off the path, glass container, and seems to have urine in it! A nice spot though! TFTH
TFTC. A quick trip to Adelaide to help youngest child move and try out recently purchased camper trailer … why not pick up some caches!
Happy caching and safe travels!

Out for the day with expom took a bit of searching to find. Log damp but usable. TFTC
Lovely day for caching. After going to the dolphin sanctuary realised the direct road to this location no longer direct thanks to developers! Found with Flossy Teacake

After running past this god knows how many time during my lunch time exercise i finally stopped to find it. After a bit of a hunt and nearly getting my feet wet i thought maybe i should try the other side of the track and bingo, i had the cache in hand. Log is a bit damp but otherwise cache is in good condition. With log signed and trackable dropped i was on my way. Thanks for the interesting cache
Out to collect some more caches a bit closer to home after my trip to the Yorke Peninsula yesterday, trying to clear up some DNFs and find ones I've had my eye on for a while.
Really beautiful walk on such a nice day and a very interesting piece of history.
Cache was an easy find and in good condition.
Favourite point for the beautiful location and history lesson.
Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.
Thanks to The Barramundi's for this cache.

Thanks The Barramundi's for this quick find in an interesting location. I've certainly never been past here before.
Out for a Sunday drive with Peas&Carrot and Marlee126 chasing a cache or three.

Awesome and clever hide! So much to see on the walk there! A favourite for sure!

Spent the morning and early afternoon cycling around the area - a beautiful day for a ride and the headwinds weren't too bad. Found 16 caches and DNFed on 4. Skipped the ones with a sequence of recent DNFs which was lazy but expedient.
I can't even describe how difficult I made this. With no local knowledge, I turned round after finding 'end of the line' thinking I had to circle around the other side. After doing that and realising there was no way through, I rode back here and then followed the trails. Tough on a road bike but awesome

I checked a few ferrous spots first but then realised the cache is a regular. Change of tact and cache was quickly found.

A lovely walk to this cache on a beautiful sunny day. The log was signed & dated then returned to its hiding spot.
Thank you for sharing this location with us

Following work, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I planned on heading north towards Outer Harbor and Osborne to do a few caches around the wetlands. We had spied the Excelsior shipwreck from previous visits around here, and so we thought it would be a nice evening to follow some of the paths. Truthfully, I thought there would be a few wrecks to see, not just that one, but it was still a pleasant evening. We managed to check out Falie Reserve just around the corner, before heading back home completing a few* Used 2B a Church* caches needing various cache types for today.
We managed to park on the corner just nearby to this cache, and followed the path to this cache and the wreck. It was such a really cool wreck. We noted that this cache had been disabled due to the poor container condition, but honestly, I've seen worst. The container lid didn’t do up, but the logbook was still protected and ok. Thanks The Barramundi's for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance - was good to see this oldie 08/2006 hidden cache still alive, with an awesome location to bring people to.

Nice interesting location. Cache needs replacing. Would be a shame to lose this one.
