Be careful, don't fall into the water.

The cache is in a regular container that looks like a take away container. It is hidden well but you need to be careful that you don't slip as you are looking for it.

A nice little walk down by creek, cache located the side of the track. Appropriate footwear required, especially if has been raining recently.

Busy downtown Goolwa sees the light.

<img align="top" alt="Cadell Street" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/22/39983492_ad9a9011bb.jpg" />   Goolwa is considered to be a historic town in South Australia and was established in 1857. Before 1837 Goolwa was briefly considered as the site of the colony's capital; however, the treacherous waters of the Murray Mouth for shipping made it unsuitable as a major port. Goolwa was Australia's first inland port (1857). Australia's first railway was built to connect Goolwa to Port Elliot and later extended to Victor Harbor, allowing goods to move from river boats to sea boats, so that neither had to negotiate the Murray Mouth. The local Alexandrina Council have declared Cadell Street (the main street) a heritage zone and encourage businesses to be painted in heritage colours. In following that heritage theme the council have installed hitching posts and a other heritage items. You are looking for one of those Olde Worlde items.The cache is too small for swaps. It does contain a pencil on placement. Palm up, swing forward. 2009-08-05T00:00:00Z Apty Found Interesting spot for a spot of caching.

This should not be too hard, but will need a pen.

The cache is hidden in a fragile environmental area (judging by the signs) and you will be amazed what 70 plus cachers will do to native vegetation. Is there any chance that you can move it to somewhere we wont trash the native vegetation! So, once again, thanks for the cache.

<center>   <big><big>1842  Julia Creek Police Station  1846</big></big> </center> <big><big>P</big></big>olicing in South Australia began on 28th April 1838 with the swearing in of an Inspector of Police with 10 mounted and 10 foot constables. This was the first centrally controlled police force in Australia; The overlanding of sheep and cattle from New South Wales saw the expansion of the frontiers of settlements north and west of Adelaide. Police personnel were often at the forefront of that expansion, in some instances acting as explorers, but also to protect pastoralists. In the interests of settlers and travellers, the Commissioners of Police at the time established Police Posts. Julia Creek Police Station was established in late 1842 by Mounted Constable James McLean to provide protection for pastoralists, shepherds and flocks. The Julia Creek Police Station was the first permanent mounted police post north east of Gawler. It was established well before permanent police stations at Burra, Kapunda or Angaston and there was no other police presence further to the north east at the time. It is believed to have been a small stone building. Julia Creek Police Station was staffed by two mounted constables (troopers) with the personnel being rotated on a six monthly deployment basis. A Native Constable was attached to the station for guide purposes during some of its existence. The police station was issued with three horses. The duties were to patrol to the various pastoral stations on the River Light, Burra Creek and Mt. Bryan. Julia Creek Police Station provided a base for mounted police patrols at least as far as from present day Keyneton to Mt. Bryan. This police station was operating well before each of the now recognised towns of the district including Kapunda, Eudunda, Burra and Morgan were established and at the time was quite isolated. There were no recognised roads, and the only form of communication would have been by letter delivered by horse and rider. In 1846 the S.A. Mining Association applied to the Commissioner of Police to establish a police station at Burra Burra Mines. Nearly a year after the opening of the mines at Burra Burra, the Julia Creek Police Station was closed in October 1846 and the personnel and stores were removed to open a police station at the rapidly expanding mines. The mounted constables of Julia Creek, some of whom were Troopers McLean, Dawson, Eastwood, Carter, Pow, Lamb and McMahon, kept journals of their patrols and activities while at the station, which is of great importance to the early history of South Australia and the South Australia Police.                                                   <img height="428" alt="Gallery" width="640" src="http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/pics/ga1441/475.jpg" />                                                  <img height="212" alt="Gallery" width="640" src="http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/pics/ga1441/964.jpg" /> This site and the Information about the Julia Creek Police Station would not have been found without the tireless work of Mrs Esther Flinn and Chief Superintendent (Retired) R.J.Potts, APM, JP, of the S.A. Police Historical Society.  Oh, and if you can't (or a member of your team) be in the photo with GPS, you MUST capture your GPS (or part of) in the photo. Happy Hunting.

John Henry Davies Grave We drove along and saw the sign 'John Henry Davies Grave' so we stopped and had a look at the grave and found fa few others beside him too, not sure if they are related because they were different surnames. Anyway he died at only 24 yrs old at a homestead across the road (see the attached photos) so...... Cachers need to go to the cemetry first to jot down the date of his death then go to the homestead and look for the stove.     <img height="300" alt="Gallery" width="500" src="http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/pics/ga1423/28.jpg" /><img height="300" alt="Gallery" width="400" src="http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/pics/ga1423/844.jpg" /> The cache is inside the stove ensure a photo is taken of the yourselves, gps and stove unless you are travelling alone then a photo or yourself is not necessary.   I would like an email with date of death first before logging your photo.  Good luck everyone :) 2009-07-23T00:00:00Z Shifter Brains Found Saw the sign on the way out to another cache and decided to pick this one up on the way back to Woomera.

IRON KNOB   Located 68 km west of Port Augusta and 52 km north west of Whyalla, in the heart of a semi- desert area near the shores of the Spencer Gulf. The first European to pass through the Iron Knob area was Edward John Eyre who, in 1839, identified the area as having substantial deposits of ironstone. Iron Knob is widely recognised as the first commercial iron ore mine in Austalia. It was first exploited in 1880 but BHP have run it continuously since 1899. Until the discovery of huge iron reserves in the Pilbara area in WA, the Iron Knob deposit was the largest in Australia. Until the 1960's all of BHP's major steel making operations, (at Newcastle, Port Kembla, Port Pirie and Whyalla) were supplied with iron ore from the Iron Knob area. In recent years, BHP have run their mining operations down in the area and the town has been handed back to the remaining local residents. Tours of the mine run 10  am - 2 pm during the week and at 2 pm on Sundays.    At the listed co-ords you will find the 'Welcome to Iron Knob' sign. To log a find for this virtual, please email us the number on the excavator featured on the sign AND take a photo, with your GPS in front of  part of the sign, but OMIT the excavator.   2008-12-30T00:00:00Z winglen Found An unexpected *ftf* on the long drive from the ACT to western SA.

An easy find beside the Eyre Highway 35 Km East of Nullarbor Roadhouse.

I wandered by on day 178 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia, and was bemoaning the fact that I had only found one cache since leaving Ceduna (<a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=a5f0efa9-df09-4f22-a9ec-ff0ba3277606">Neptune by TeamAstro</a>) and would only find one more before nightfall (<a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=03055078-2435-4023-995d-c7a091a07818">Nullarbor Numbness by Jim & Chris</a>). As we topped a rise I glimpsed some sand dunes in the distance, and immediately thought of placing a cache. After a few more rises I pulled over just past the best looking spot, walked back and placed the cache. I've placed this and several other caches along the Eyre Highway to encourage cachers to take regular breaks from the monotonous driving.  I was hoping to find some local maintainers to make them geocaching.com caches, but the ones out there are all old caches retained under the "grandfather" rules, so I've had to make them geocaching.com.au caches. Please take care pulling off the road, getting in and out, and pulling back on the road again. There are a lot of road trains, B doubles and B trebles using this highway, as well as a fair number of oversize loads. They do not stop quickly! There is safe parking within 150 metres whether you are heading West or East. The cache is a 1.5 litre clear Decor container inside a grey plastic bag, hidden a short walk from the highway. Initial contents are First and Second To Find cards, finders cards, fly/mosquito head net, 5 ring key ring with blue LED light, Aus 3 Leaf Clover key ring, Australia indigenous art badge, marlin, sheep, log book, pen, pencil & sharpener. When trading items please consider trading up or trading even and leaving items that you would want to find, and please don't take the pen, pencils or sharpener. If you can't trade up or trade even I don't mind seeing TNLNSL in the log. Also please don't put the pen or pencils in the log book bag, it tends to destroy the watertight integrity. Trackables (geocoins and travel bugs) are not tradeable items. Please feel free to take them without making a trade, but please leave a note in the logbook and your online log, and do log them online. Please be careful to replace the cache so that it is sheltered from the sun, and that the rocks are not resting on the container.

I wandered by on day 178 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia, and was bemoaning the fact that I had only found one cache since leaving Ceduna (<a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=a5f0efa9-df09-4f22-a9ec-ff0ba3277606">Neptune by TeamAstro</a>) and would only find one more before nightfall (<a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=03055078-2435-4023-995d-c7a091a07818">Nullarbor Numbness by Jim & Chris</a>). A number of the Nullarbor Cliff lookouts had been closed due to safety issues, including one I had considered placing a cache at. As I approached another lookout I spotted several vehicles parked there, so moved on to a small truck bay to place the cache. This spot should be fairly safe from muggles because it is between a large truck bay to the West and the lookout/parking bay to the East. The views from near GZ are pretty spectacular, but the best views would probably be from the lookout. I've placed this and several other caches along the Eyre Highway to encourage cachers to take regular breaks from the monotonous driving. The cache is a 1 Kg Milo tin painted green, hidden a short walk from the parking area. You will need a teaspoon, key or coin to pop the lid open. Initial contents are First and Second To Find cards, finders cards, fly/mosquito head net, 5 ring key ring with blue LED light, Aus hex key ring, Australia koala badge, octopus, horse, two sheets of stickers, log book, pen, pencil & sharpener.

This geocache was established especially for geocaching travellers on the Indian Pacific between Perth and Adelaide. But will no doubt be visited by 4WD travellers who visit this remote location about 100km north of the Eyre Highway.

The following information is from the "On Track" newsletter issued to passengers in April 2008. The 'township' of Cook is as remote as it gets. The town is named ater former Australian Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Cook. It was once a thriving railway town with a population of around 300 people, with a two-storey school, swimming pool, general store, hospital, post office, locomotive workshop, airstrip, cemetery, and a golf course completely devoid of even a single blade of grass. At its peak, Cook even boasted a brass band! Cook's importance as a railway town diminished with privatisation of the Commonwealth Government's railway infrastructure during the mid 1990's. It still remains a critical refuelling station for the Indian Pacific. Today Cook is a ghost town with just four permanent residents. However, it does play host to locomotive drivers of the Indian Pacific and various freight trains, as the drivers change at the end of their shifts and wait for the next to start. Most of Cook's old buildings still stand and are in reasonably good order, which makes for a fascinating walking tour. You will have the chance to wander around Cook for a short period. The cache is a 370ml screw top plastic container. under/between large boulders 2008-05-03T00:00:00.000Z GA1092 What Anchor? Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1092 What Anchor?

Hint on when you should do this cache. It wasn't until couple of weeks ago when I took on geocaching that I came to the idea of making this iconic place a webcam cache, so here it is. They have the webcam inside and the rules for logging the cache are as usual. Visit above link to access the webcam feed. However, if the webcam is down or you are unable to view online feed for whatever reason, self taken photo inside the place with possibly stack of pancakes in front of you will do just fine! PS. Place is open 24/7! 2009-08-08T00:00:00Z setsujoku Note It would seem that the URL for the pancake kitchen web site has changed.

You will be searching for a small container with a plastic lid which contains a log book, pen and swaps.

This is a very easy cache to find and a great place to stop for a cuppa, to stretch your legs, or stay overnight. I watch the tail for the wind direction while sheltering under my green verandah. There are walking trails nearby or you can join me and just enjoy the peace and quiet and the beauty of the outback. You can stay in the shearers' quarters, or bush camp around the century old race-track.

We discovered this delightful spot on a Sunday afternoon drive, and despite hunting high and low in the car for a container, couldn't find one, so hence the virtual cache. A lot of work has gone into this small area, please have a good look around and enjoy. To claim a find, please email us with the answers to the following questions:- 1. What is at the apex of the middle truss of the shed roof? (North facing side) 2. How many years were Dentons in business? 3. The decorated mud brick wall and wooden seat were part of what project? We will confirm that your answers are correct to enable you to log a find. 2009-06-24T00:00:00Z Margieh Found So much history in such a small area....

Come and see how Peter lived. What an interesting home. Did any of your family live like this a lingtime ago?

In need of a public convenience after a long drive I happend to find this unusual house. It ended up being a very pleasant place to take a break and have a rest. If you find this virtual cache please take a photo of the humpy with your GPS in the photo. If you don't have a camera to catch the moment please prove you found this 'cache' by telling me the word that is shown in brackets () on th sign you will find inside the humpy that tells you the name for a type of wild fruit. 2009-07-11T00:00:00Z MalanDi Found Stopped here for our lunch on a trip to Kalgoorlie and then onto Darwin. It was interesting to see that the dwelling had been placed there as a display. It was good to revisit Poochera as it had been many years since we carted grain to the silos. Thanks Danielle. 2009-02-18T00:00:00Z MalanDi Note Another reason to belong to the Geocaching fraternity. Many years ago in a former(farmer) life we carted all of our grain to the "new" silo's at Poochera. We played football there and stopped for the dance afterward. But did I ever see Peters Humpy?? Sadly not. Maybe next trip there. Good one and thanks.

Need a Break?

Its  a long drive along the Eyre Highway so take a break and turn off at the brown signpost for Darke's Monument. Its only a short drive to the rest stop (sorry no toilets!) Have a look around and you will see a few different signs and plaques. One will tell you about what sports use to be played there between 1930 - 1969. When you get this information email the answer to me - there should be 6 sports listed! OR alternatively you might like to take a photo (including your GPS device in the photo) of any of the OTHER signs,markers or plaques - NOT the one indicating the sports grounds.  2008-11-29T00:00:00Z richlink Found Stopped by on our way to Ceduna.

Come and rest a while

George Goyder was surveyer who travlled thought a lot of Australia. This rest stop reminds us of  the "Goyder's Line'. Goyder's line of travel, which amounted to nearly 5,000 km on horseback, marked off the line of drought and became known as Goyder's Line of Rainfall. He drew a line indicating the limit of the rainfall which coincided with the southern boundary of saltbush country. It separated lands suitable for agriculture from those fit for pastoral use only. It also marked areas of reliable and unreliable annual rainfall. Not all agreed with his Line and some even called it Goyder's line of foolery. When you find this spot can you find the date he marked out this line and emial me what year it was. Or you can take a photo, with your GPS device in shot, of the monunment and plaque you'll find there. Sadly you will note that this plaque has been vandalised. 2009-07-11T00:00:00Z MalanDi Found Have passed this spot many times but was not aware of this monument.

Failed to place coin in GC at WOMAD even though cache seemed simpl enough, but who wnat to be digging in the dirt when Neil Finn and sons are playing. I really appreciated this simple drive by becaus there are so few around and when you are just travelling through you don't wnat to spend a lot of time solving puzzles or doing multis. So many caches in Adelaide are difficult puzzles requireing dedicated time. I don't agree with logged comment 'Why put a cache here?. For me it was perfect and much appreciated. I left Endian geocoin. It is now safetly where it wants to be. Took travel bug and am yet to look at its history. I read about another cache near Adelaide that someone called a transition cache. I think you have one here judging by the content of the cache. 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z howie_sf Found Now the sour sobs have abated it was a nice find.

But no joy this time with the GPS wanting me over the fence about 40m from the sign. Using the clue looked around all the obvious spots but came up blank. Will have to try again - maybe the coords need a quick check. Thanks asnorky. 2007-04-10T00:00:00Z Dik: Found I had to have a look at a cache hidden by someone who has never found one! There has been some homework done. It's a good container and it has a GC.com note inside. But contents were a bit thin. Strangely there is a date of October 2006! Co-ords were a bit off, but not that far, on the edge of the EPE, and a whole lot closer than the clue gets you! In the end I just poked through the bark around every tree nearby and came up with the goods. BUT - Location, Location, Location. WHY? This has to be one of the worst locations I have come across. So I entered a log in the book and added a finger puppet to the near empty box. On the whole this cache doesn't make sense. Why hide a cache before you've found one? And how did you know things like putting the log book and pen in a zip bag if you've never seen one? Is this a case of a cache hidden by a sock puppet as some sort of a sick joke? 2007-04-07T00:00:00.000Z GA0728 A Valiant Effort Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0728 A Valiant Effort Geocache Geocache A Valiant Effort Dik: Greenhill South Australia Australia Traditional Regular 3 4.5

HISTORY Long long ago, at the start of a new millennium, while out bushwalking, we spotted across the valley something big and yellow. Now it wasn't plainly obvious what it was, but one thing was certain, it was in a place where big yellow things should not be. And so mindful that bushwalkers are often the first to find all sorts of strange things, UFOs, Yetis and the like, we decided it may be appropriate to report it to the authorities. You know, in case they can correlate it with a report of a lost aircraft, balloon etc. It turns out they need to take these things seriously, and even though there was no report of a big yellow thing being lost, someone had to take a look. And so a police officer was duly despatched to investigate. He had probably got a couple of hundred meters up the trail when I received a phone call from his mobile asking just HOW far it was? I assured him he needed to go further. Half an hour later and the phone rings again. Huffing and puffing he asks again. It's HOW FAR? Well just to the top of the hill. A little later and a wheezing voice confirms he has it in his sights and high powered binoculars confirm it is neither a plane, nor a balloon. But it did fall from above! And so to our police force, I dedicate this cache, for truly A Valiant Effort. A couple of weeks later we decided to confirm the observation and made our way to GZ. This was one of the first expeditions with the new fangled GPS thingy. In the valley the coverage was pretty much useless, so we made for higher ground and traversed the base of cliffs high on the valley side until we reached our yellow target. There the find was logged and we took a GPS reading with the Garmin GPS12 of S34 56.335 E 138 42.347 on 16th August 2000. That co-ordinate has been checked using a new GPSmap 60CSx with SRiFIII technology and it holds up perfectly. THE CACHE Seven years later the yellow object is still there, although faded to a dull orange, and you can see it for yourself while you log the cache. The cache itself is quite large, though not technically a "large" cache, and easily found once at GZ. Getting to GZ is another matter. Whatever direction you approach from, this terrain is not for the faint hearted. It is steep, loose and populated by prickle bushes. Although the cache may apper to be only a few metres away, be prepared to spend a long time achiving very little distance. Difficulty rating is based on the difficulty in picking an approach. Terrain speaks for itself. You may wish to take a look from S 34 56.183 E 138 42 523 first. If you find getting there is hard, then it's time to turn round and go home. Once you see the terrain you will probably give up anyway. If you decide to go ahead, once on the approach, if the going starts to get too tough, STOP, do not go on. You now have two choices, either raise the terrain to 5 and belay or rappel in from above, or better still just go home. All things considered, I recommend you don't even attempt this cache. Go Home, or have a go at H&G, it's so much easier. 2007-12-04T00:00:00Z Justcameron Found Found with Anton. Very interesting location - TFTC. 2007-05-20T00:00:00Z Zytheran Found With some trepadation in knowing the area well we went after this one. The way up was a struggle but after 20 minutes or so we got there. We had started when the arrow was at right angles but you really need to start before that. Impressive wreck, I assume the engine is back up the hill somewhere? Signed both logs and then found an easier way down the gully. You can actually see the car from the track if you crouch very low where the gully comes out at the creek. Look for the 'Z' blaze on the black tree for a decent starting point, it's not as bad as it looks. Nice view around of other potential cache locations..Mwah,ha,ha,haaaaa 2007-04-16T00:00:00Z four-fun Found How you managed to spot GZ is still a mystery to me. I didn't see it till I was about 25m away!!! But I had a very pleasant walk/climb this morning to get there and claim the FTF. An excellent container (I'm going to keep my eyes open for these) and I must say a galant or was that regal effort to get it up there. Left my mark in both the official and original logs. Cheers Dik, thanks for another quality hide. 2007-04-05T00:00:00.000Z GA0726 Fire It Up Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0726 Fire It Up Geocache Geocache Fire It Up Ghosthoowalks Ascot Park South Australia Australia Traditional Micro 2 1

This will be obvious when you get there - the trick is to negotiate the locals that congregate here a lot. If you are there at the wrong time, you will be spotted for sure. Cache is easy enough, you will have to reach and feel for this one, in the right spot of course. I haven't made it too hard for you. As usual, I have placed a prize for the FTF, not a very origonal one but please take it with you, no swaps expected as the cache is quite small. Happy hunting!! 2009-07-29T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Note Another day and too many Muggles. 2009-01-04T00:00:00Z ninja boy Found got the cache - had to wait for muggle to put shopping in car and leave before i could replace it TNLNSL TFTC-CHEERS[:D] 2008-12-24T00:00:00Z Alansee Found A few muggles around and managed to tie the shoelaces up a couple of times and spot the item The rest was easy, thanks Ghosthoowalks. 2008-08-06T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Knew exactly where this one was but still had to feel the right place.

Thanks 2007-04-24T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found Visited the area in the afternoon, but wasn't game to look while the place was crawling with muggles. Came back at 9:45PM the next night, and it was much easier to find and log. TNLN TFTC! 2007-04-09T00:00:00Z Team Piggy Found 30 seconds to find/log & replace!

TFTC 2007-04-07T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found Pretty sure I was the 2nd one to this one at 0730 on way home from work.

Took us a while with the muggle factor - we tried to act nonchalant - even went into Coles to get something to put them off the scent! Finally succeeded and took it to the car to log the find.

This cache is in honor of the cache that vexed me for some months. It was the one that  bugged, tormented  and  laughed at me before I found it. I nearly gave up on this whole game because of my inability to find that one, but as you can see, I have gotten over it. Ground zero is not exactly where the cache is, but it is right in the middle of where you will find it. I would recommend caution if you are taking geokids on the hunt with you - they should stay about 14 metres behind (or in front) of you if you go to ground zero. Traffic can be a bit hectic here - which is why I chose the location - heh heh heh........ All I can say from there is that the cache is physically a bit tricky to retrieve, but it secure and should be muggle proof, unless they saw me put it there. Happy hunting!! North or South? Four and rouf is important too..... 2008-11-03T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Had a boys look tonight and with a torch. I didnt find it the other time as there has been some cache creep and it is not where the clue indicated. Moved it closer to where it probably should be. TFTC. 2008-04-30T00:00:00Z lava12 Found Found it ..Thanks :-) 2008-02-25T00:00:00Z Varuna Found One of the nightcaching series. A nice and quick find. Luckily no muggles were in sight when retrieving the cache. Thanks for the fun and the cache. 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Joan found the cache before me.... SL. Thanks Ghosthoowalks for organising the cache and hunt. 2007-10-17T00:00:00Z FeatherWaite Found I remember when this drain used to be a creek! Second visit to locate the GCA version of another nearby cache. Thanks for the cache Ghosthoowalks. 2007-08-27T00:00:00Z gr8cherokee Found Had time today while passing through the area done the other one last week but didn't have time to do both anyway its now done.. TFTC 2007-08-14T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found An easy find this time, when not looking outside the square! Was 12m from a new chemical cache! ;-) TNLNSL Thanks 2007-06-18T00:00:00Z richary Found Found easier with the help of the hit, after getting dirty hands checking the other possibilities. TNLNSL, thanks. 2007-05-15T00:00:00Z four-fun Found At 2am, with a half hour to spare before your due at work, what else do you do but grab a couple of GCA caches [^] This was stop #1 Cheers 2007-04-05T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found Some days the gods of geocaching smile on you. Some days they fart in your face. Today they were smiling, and the cache was in the first place I looked. Woohoo - FTF! TFTC! 2007-04-05T00:00:00Z Trail06 Found Went as soon as we saw this one tonight. We searched and searched but were unsuccessful. Returned after we found 'Fire it up' and lo and behold - found the cache! Can't believe we didn't notice it there before! Thanks again Ghost! Trail06 2007-04-05T00:00:00Z Team Waldron Found Silver for us. Tried to find on way home from work but couldn't park on Oaklands Road. Went home grabbed some of the team and went back. Easy find. Know the cache your referring to as it had us stumped for a while.

My boomerang wants to return home

The point of origin for this “boomerang” is S33 23.056 E151 20.827 near Gosford NSW Australia. It has landed initially at “The Old Brush” Event where I hope to enlist some fellow cachers in distributing a number of Boomerangs across Aus and possibly NZ. Now it’s not a race. It is up to the initial finder to determine where and when they will deposit the boomerang – they may be going on holidays or a business trip in the next few months – a placement by the end of 2007 would be desired. The idea is to try and get this Boomerang to a distant location and to track its movement home. Once the boomerang reaches the full extent of its range (amplitude?) as nominated by the initial holder - it should return home. It is fine if the return trip is somewhat circuitous… PS Please note that the didgeridoo pen is part of the cache, not a swap – unless of course you swap it for a similar indigenous style writing implement. 2009-08-17T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Will move to another location at Yorke Peninsula sometime this week. Thanks. 2009-08-02T00:00:00Z Storm Chasers Found Spotted this in a cache I did today, what a surprise to see. TFTC 2009-07-30T00:00:00Z lioness & milkman Note Sorry, should have done this ages ago, just figured out how to drop it. Sorry to have kept it so long, wanted it in my TB Hotel though half the people who chance upon it don't know what it is. 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z lioness & milkman Found This is goin to Adelaide! 2009-05-11T00:00:00Z mtbikeroz Found Found, then left at the memorial for daughter to take interstate.

Roostaman 2009-02-24T00:00:00Z murf Note Stashed it not far from home, but I think there will be someone coming through town soon, so I reckon it wont be there long... 2009-02-22T00:00:00Z murf Found Cool, my second Grank movable... but... This was a bit of a mixup... I was expecting this cache to be close to, or right next to the GC cache with the same coords (GC1GE8Z). Unfortunately, it was actually inside the other container, which didnt have much else in it. It looks as though some of the logs for the GC cache have been written in this Logbook as the cachers have not claimed a find on this GCA cache, only the GC cache. (If that all makes sense?) I extracted the cache from the GC cache, and brought it home, and only discovered the log issue then. At this stage, i'll probably just tag the logs which appear to be for the other cache, and then rehide this one to continue on its mission... 2008-10-05T00:00:00Z ack son of hack Note placed here the 20/09/08. sorry forgot to log. on our way to Kangaroo island. stayed here over night and got to talking to the publican and geocaching came up ..on... so She who must be obeyed sed 'set one up here and they can look after it!!' the local historian and the enthusiastic council worker sed 'we love the area and it would be fun!' so put in cache and left Boomerang V here! thanks Acko 2008-08-26T00:00:00Z ack son of hack Found G'dy grabbed #901 as i just live down the hill. had done lotsa' gardening and had lotsa compost rubbish left over! had to clean!

Obvious, yet strangely perplexing....

The co-ords will lead you to an obvious location. You are looking for a micro container that is camouflaged. The 2 rating for the difficulty is related directly to both the muggle infestation of the area that seems to be constant and the exposure of the site to anyone that cares to have a look at what you are doing. I was going to give some cryptic clues and hints, but I have changed my mind. There is no room for swaps in this cache, unless you have something pretty small. There is a prize in there for the FTF, please take it with you and leave it somewhere else. Enjoy the chase!! Ha! No hints here! Start looking....... 2009-04-14T00:00:00Z Waterlogged Found Nice easy find with the area to myself while I ate my lunch and filled in the log book Thanks 2008-12-24T00:00:00Z Alansee Found Got to gz and found the cache very exposed, and with some muggle logs.

Obvious position, work the crowds. Timing is everything.

This should be easy to find. The title is relative to the area, there is no crypticness involved and you will see what I mean once you get here. You should be aware that if you are a weekend cache hunter - you might be out of luck due to the number of muggles that frequent this area. This is a microcache, I went to suss the position today and found the perfect container right where I wanted to put it! There is no room for anything but a log book, so that is what is in there, there is a prize for the FTF, something decidedly fishy, but not related to the find other than I put it there. There is no expectation of a swap, the prize is yours!! This is my first hide, I apologize now for any mistakes I have made, I hope that you enjoy the hunt and time it right! Obvious position, timing is the key..... 2009-07-06T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found Easy find after the other cache nearby. 2008-12-17T00:00:00Z Alansee Found Found easily on a muggy caching morning, Thanks Ghosthoowalks. 2008-11-29T00:00:00Z Pheonix5744 Found TFTC SL 2008-06-20T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Quick find while visiting a cache at the other end of the park.

Thanks for the cache and congratulations on your first hide, Ghosthoowalks! 2007-02-27T00:00:00Z Dik: Found Yay. First to find. Certainly a new way to look at cache in trash out. An easy find and no muggles in sight at 6 on a Tuesday evening. I reckon it would be easy to retrieve even if there were plenty close by. Nice facilities for log writing too. So long and thanks for all the fish. 2007-01-14T00:00:00.000Z GA0671 Next Generation Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0671 Next Generation Geocache Geocache Next Generation ranger family College Park South Australia Australia Virtual Other 1 1

This is a drive by virtual as there is very little parking in the area Monday-Friday. This building is a prominent landmark in Adelaide and the birthplace of countless generations and whilst it has undergone many additions over the years, it is still a leader in its field of expertise. The questions are: Q1) what is the name of the building at the coordinates above? Q2) what is the date above the door? Please email us through our geocaching.com profile. Our daughter was born here 2009-04-03T00:00:00Z calumphing_four Found Often go past, so thought it was about time I did this GCA cache. Both our kids were born here, and seeing the Doc here leading up to their birth, Sandy and I knew the corridors pretty well. Bek in 2001 and Cal in 2005, both a few weeks early. Cal was lucky to be born here, because if we'd taken any longer getting in, he'd come in the car. He arrived 30minutes after we got to emergency. He even got a return visit for a minor hernia operation a few months later. TFTC Ranger Family Cheers[8D][8D][8D][8D] 2009-03-24T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Did a couple of caches today around the WCH - a GA one on one side and a GC one on the other. Day 283 of non-stop caching :D 2008-10-03T00:00:00Z Pensive Travellers Found Found this cache on a short trip to Adelaide. Love the old buildings in Adelaide, including this one.

Thanks ranger family for organising the virtual. 2008-01-28T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found Finally got it together while going past this cache, and stopped across the road to gather the details. Another chance to pause & contemplate a historic building. Thanks Ranger Family for the cache and the confirmation! 2007-11-07T00:00:00Z Trail06 Found I went for a lovely walk at lunch time and snagged this one. I hadn't realised that this was the original one. An interesting history lesson and a good walk in from North Tce. Thanks! 2007-07-01T00:00:00Z Burton's Found On our way home from a caching day out Cheers and thanks for the cache 2007-06-23T00:00:00Z Team Waldron Found Quick drive by on this morning when it was 1.4 degrees. Allison was inside delivering someone's next generation while I was outside enjoying myself. Quick email to Ranger Family and a prompt reply confirmed my results. TFTC 2007-05-06T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Called past last night to gather the required information.

Colonel Light Gardens was named after Colonel William Light and first settled in 1921 after land formerly known as the Grange Farm was purchased in 1915. During World War I the area was used as the Mitcham Army Camp a depot and training ground for soldiers being deployed overseas. In October 1999 in recognition of its unique place in national and international planning history the entire suburb was placed on the Register of the National Estate To this day there are still lane ways, which criss-cross the area that were used by the soil carts (also known as night carts), although they are now the access ways for utilities such as water & power. I used to spend many days during school holidays riding my bike through the lanes as my private back roads. My Grandpa used to ride his bike from Maylands all the way to Colonel Light Gardens to attend training at the Mitcham Army Camp visiting my Nanna on the way who used to live at what is now the corner of Belair rd & Angus Rd. The first question is what year was the memorial unveiled & who by? & the second question is what type of tree is planted on the site & when? Please email us with the answer through our geocaching.com profile. 2008-07-14T00:00:00Z firesafe Found An interesting park with a lot of history.

Thanks Ranger Family 2007-04-14T00:00:00Z Moses Found Thanks for taking me to Colonel Light Garden. The criss cross of roads fascinated me and I am sure the locals would appreciate this little patch of space. I could imagine the locals gathering here on ANZAC Day. Thanks. Moses on the Move 2007-04-01T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found Found on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Nice little park in an unexpected place, and some interesting history too.

off main Blinman to Wilpena Road, other things to see once there

Walk from carpark to the main spring in the area, this spring supported a large aboriginal population before pastoralism occured, then large sheep numbers. It served as a Eating House location for travellers in the past and ruins are scattered around. If you look carefully you will see ancient rock engravings on your trek to cache. Once you have found the cache on other side of creek, wander up the waterway and spy what comes into drink. pedro n darcy other side as the rocks tilt, hidden you will find where behind will lay the cache. 2009-03-21T00:00:00Z twosmiths Found A fascinating area be interesting to see when the creek is in flood. Took bouncy ball left dinosaur. TFTC 2009-03-16T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Accompanied with sevabo. Gosh so beauty area and interesting about Symbols and Meanings.

Little emu's are so cute! haha :) Lucky he didn't come after me... O_o Took a while to find the cache, my coords were out I think. But eventually I spied the hiding spot :) Thanks for the cache!! 2007-07-13T00:00:00Z FeatherWaite Found Very nice here today. Found after dropping some Heysen Trail walkers off to complete the final leg of their journey. Took pedometer (I thought it was appropriate), left a dinosoar. Cheers! 2007-06-12T00:00:00Z four-fun Found First cache for the day after camping in Barachina Gorge overnight and it was a nice surprise to find this little oasis out here. Everything is looking very green and lush in this region at the moment. Swapped the gloves for a pedometer. Cheers, TFTC. 2007-06-11T00:00:00Z KriKe Found Found late in the day with Team TDB. A quick wander through the scrub while we followed the GPSr. Cant remember what swaps were made as Mr KriKe was on baby minding duty. Can this cache be placed on the international site. 2007-01-12T00:00:00Z Bruce and Joy Found Found it on a hot day. Scared the Emu's away. One of the caches we managed to do on a visit from New Zealand. TFTC TNLN 2006-11-22T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found On a really hot day it was a lovely suprise to find this oasis. Even though we scarred the kangaroos and emus away the bees ignored us and kept on drinking from the ponds. We spent time to look around the area and pondered the past. To look for the cache I needed to use the clue but whilst I was decyphering it Carmen had found it.

BOO ! its not map the miner! 2009-04-23T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Interesting about old history, worth to wander around the cemetery. Thanks KTM 640.... 2009-01-23T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Day 223 of non-stop caching. 'Grabbed' this one while doing a multi in the same area. TFTC 2008-01-12T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found Was in the area for Nibs nearby cache. Was going to log a dnf as notes were not complete. Then after speaking to 4fun I realised I had actually visited the site and found no-one home! Just didn't realise what I was looking for initially! Thanks 2007-04-25T00:00:00Z Moses Found Why a gate? To let people in or out? Doesn't matter it wasn't there anyway.Not the first of these I have come across in my travels. 2007-01-04T00:00:00Z postiegirl06 Found postiegirl06 found it! You are right there is nobody there but there are lots of neighbours around! TFTC ....PG06 2006-12-16T00:00:00Z J_&_J Not Found Went to the posted coords today, but as the listing states there is nothing to find here, I guess the best I can do is log exactly that. 2006-12-08T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Was here for another cache recently as well but I didn't have a camera with me then [:(] Passing today so stopped in for another look around. 2006-11-25T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found Whilst doing another cache in this place I went looking for this one. Took a photo of the place. 2006-09-09T00:00:00Z richary Found Drove to the location for a quick look around. I love these spots in the country, they say so much about the history. Unluckily my camera is in Geelong without me, so couldn't take a pic for evidence. Though I did note a grave name if confirmation is required.

This area is fantastic for camping and bushwalking. It gets extremely hot in summer, so bring plenty of water. The track into the area is signposted as 4WD only. Although a 2WD would be able to gain access with careful wheel placement (as the track follows dry creek beds), a vehicle with higher gound clearance would be easier. The hut was named after the original property owner, who was convicted of murdering his son-in-law and part owner of the neighbouring property (George Windsor Snell) in 1918. Our first cache is a screw top plastic fruit container. The cache contains notebook, pencil, koala, wet ball, keyring, rubber, moon ball and skateboard. 2009-07-22T00:00:00Z The SBI Note Why didn't I read the Nearby cache, I walked straight past this cache, oh well, next time 2007-06-10T00:00:00Z four-fun Found We passed here on our way to Lock Ness Well for the night and took the opportunity to have a look around Grindell's Hut while in the area. Were very surprised to see it vacant on a long weekend but it made our searching much easier! This is a great part of the world to visit [:D] TN left a mini tape measure. Cheers, TFTC. 2006-11-26T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found We had stayed at Grindells Hut before. Not in the accomodation but below in the van by the creek bed. If you look at the picture in our profile in GC.com it was taken there. The day was hot and after the round trip to do maintenance on our cache, Razors Edge, we stopped for a well earned break. I headed up the hill as only a Geocaching Mountain Goat could do. We didn't look at the hut last time we were here but this time no one was staying near by so felt more at ease. Great views from the cache. Thanks Turnarounds for taking us back here. 2006-07-27T00:00:00.000Z GA0526 Swan's Port Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0526 Swan's Port Geocache Geocache Swan's Port SUEDENHARR Murray Bridge South South Australia Australia Traditional Regular 1 1

Our first GCA cache. It is placed in an area where you can drive a short distance off the freeway and relax in a peacefull location. Look out for snakes at GZ. Look under an old log 2008-10-20T00:00:00Z ninja boy Found done this one before work, no muggles around but there were a few mozzies. I often come fishing here - it is a nice spot. thx for the cache 2008-02-09T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found Yep, the grass has certainly grown around this cache, making it quite well hidden. There were a handful of people enjoying the park today, but this end was deserted. Took: thing Left: snake (looks like snake territory) Thanks SuDenHarr! 2007-07-03T00:00:00Z No!Really Found Last find of the day taking geokids on a tour. Long grass made find a little difficult. Geokids had their own game of hide and seek at the park. 2007-05-20T00:00:00Z FeatherWaite Found Very quiet here on a Sunday morning. Took Singapore keyring, left purple pencil sharpener. Thanks for the cache Suedenharr. 2007-05-05T00:00:00Z Gizmo's Gang Found Been meaning to get to this cache for months. Finally found the time. Brought geo-stepkid along to introduce her to caching. Think she's hooked now. Took keyring. Left thong magnet, frog and yo-yo. TFTC. 2007-03-23T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Found the cache at 1.45pm. Lovely park area. I enjoyed walk along to the cache - no muggles phew!!. No swap. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt. 2006-11-11T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Was on the Murray today doing a couple other caches so called in here on my way home for another quick find. It's a very peacful little park to visit. Mind you there were a lot of people keeping themselves busy today on the other side of the fence! Cheers, TFTC. 2006-11-01T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found I knew that it had to be there but with long grass and a hot day I didn't really want to put me hand in. 2006-07-30T00:00:00Z SUEDENHARR Note Made a very small adjustment to the coods. Thanks for the feedback. 2006-07-28T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found Headed out today to grab this one and a few others in the area. Well I ended up getting to this one as the 8th & last for the day, and the 4th of Suedenharr's today. A nice little spot here. GPS had me wanting to go 15m on the otherside of the fence initially. Actually located cache when I stpped and looked for hidey spots. Found in the 1st place I looked, but the gps still had me 10metres away. TNLNSL Thanks again Sudenharr 2006-07-15T00:00:00.000Z GA0502 20 Second Cache Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0502 20 Second Cache Geocache Geocache 20 Second Cache Dik: Tea Tree Gully South Australia Australia Multi Regular 3 2.5

How long will it take you to find the 20 second cache? The cache is not at the published co-ordinates, that would be too easy. But you should go there all the same, because the true cache location can be seen from there, and it's only 20 seconds away. You are looking for a 1.5 litre container that is partially visible, but blends well with it's environment.   <a href="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/image/224"><img alt="" src="http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/pics/ga0502/thumbs/tn_118.gif" /> </a> If you're standing in the middle of the road your sat lock is not good. Move south a few metres and try again. 2009-07-08T00:00:00Z Storm Chasers Not Found Had a look today without a GPSr, not quite at the exact coordinates as viewed by various other mapping applications, but close by. Failed to see the cache, so this looks like it will take a little longer than 20 seconds.. I do have some ideas on location though, I will be back tomorrow afternoon :) 2008-09-21T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Well it has taken 1 month and 3 days to find the 20 second cache. Had worked out where it was a couple of weeks ago but had to wait until I was out this way again. A track took me straight to it, with great views of the lights of the city. TFTC 2008-08-18T00:00:00Z firesafe Not Found 20 seconds hey....Well I read the logs and off I went. Up around the top, then up some of the faces with no luck except for a dislocated thumb as I came crashing down from one face and tried to grab something to stop the fall. Maybe another day... 2007-07-20T00:00:00Z funnyfarmers29 Found Finally found this cache after taking the long route (recommended) - one to get the heart pumping and great views along the way! A good hide found by ff3. Took a rubber ball, left a golf ball. 2007-04-11T00:00:00Z The Kettles Found Had a brief look at this one a while ago and although we had worked out the concept, it took a while to get back to it. Finally, we decided that it was time to cross this one off our list. Took a bit more thought but when we went to look, there it was, right where it was supposed to be. Found with less that a 20 second search and no fence climbing either! Thanks Dik. That's one of your puzzles crossed off our list. 2006-10-25T00:00:00Z Dik: Note For future seekers, if defence is not your prefered approach there is another way. 2006-10-20T00:00:00Z Poppadon Found Third time lucky! Found, with a timely hint from "four-fun" and "Dik". Her-in-doors understood the concept from the beginning but had trouble with cardinal direction! We were close last night but chickened out because of "defence in de-dark". So the message for those who follow is: Be not afraid of fences for they are only for the faint of heart, not geo-cachers! (well some fences anyway)[:)] Took knife key-ring and left one of her-in-doors' famous mini quilts. Congratulations Dik. Thank you four-fun. 2006-10-18T00:00:00Z Poppadon Not Found Second time with no luck [:(] Quite a dangerous place with vehicles frequently speeding by. Don't even know if 20 second means distance or time! Maybe it's on the Armco side of the road. Yikes!! Maybe the 22nd Armco post. Will return when a new plan hits me! Couldn't even find the lost sun glasses [:(] 2006-09-17T00:00:00Z Voyager Not Found The area is a rubbish tip (any one want a used roller door?)but there was no containers visible. Also lost a pair of sun glasses. 2006-08-13T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Aaaahhhhh....... Went back today and rechecked the very first location I had looked in, but looked properly this time!!! It seems I made this cache much harder & more complicated than it needed to be by not spotting the camo job on my first visit. But I did get lots of good exercise and some ideas for future hides out of it. Not to mention eventually the saifsation of locating the box [:D] Thanks Dik for another challenging hide. Cheers 2006-08-12T00:00:00Z SUEDENHARR Found This was a bugger. I visited this area three times in as many days. I was not planning to complete it until Thurs next week but I became obesest with it and after watching the efforts of Four Fun, I had to be first. It is lucky I am the boss where I work as it is an hour drive each way but this does not apply at home as I had to finish my chores before playing today. After no luck on day one, I emailed Dik telling him of what I did applying the 20 seconds; more than likely he is still laughing and he replied saying to revisit the meaning or application of 20 seconds (there's a hint). I went back on Day two to visit two sites that were very obvious amongst the natural vegetation and still came away empty handed. I emailed a clan member (Chwiliwr) who put me on the right line. Today, a shorter walk (from the car)to revisit one of my spots and found the cache nearby. I can not believe how close I was the day before. The cache was still hard to locate due to the cam job. Now I can concentrate on other things beside this dam cache. Thank Dik for a very memorable cache. 2006-08-11T00:00:00Z four-fun Not Found Bouyed by my success on 'Dizzy' I came for another look today. Was armed with another 6 possible locations that I progressively reached and crossed off the list as the view didn't suit[:(] Eventually only 2 were suitable but no joy at them either. Will think on this a little longer and perhaps join forces with some others for a combined assault [_:)] Cheers Dik, I haven't given up yet! 2006-08-05T00:00:00Z Dik: Note After two did not finds I checked that all is well. The cache is in place exactly where I left it. The sat lock was a little different today, maybe because of better weather, so I have adjusted the co-ordinates accordingly, but this is only around 3 metres and it shouldn't have been an issue. 2006-08-02T00:00:00Z four-fun Not Found I went, I looked, I walked. I drove, I walked, walked some more, drove again and then walked even more. Spent about 2 hours in total checking out what I considered the most promising locations all 20 seconds from the listed coordinates. All I got was frustrated[:(] Just not enough information has been provided to narrow the search considering all the possible places visible! Seems to me this ones difficulty rating needs to go up a little. 2006-07-19T00:00:00Z snowone Not Found Went there, but no luck. Even went around the long way and found a great spot for another cache. Definetly spent a lot longer than 20 seconds on this one. Will try again later. 2006-07-10T00:00:00.000Z GA0498 Lizzy Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0498 Lizzy Geocache Geocache Lizzy Mix Cassini South Australia Australia Other Small 5 2

No Pen, No Swaps just lizzy and the cache.

Lizzy likes rocky places and would like to find the best rocky spots in Australia (she started in QLD and needs to see each state) then head back to meet up with Mix again in the NSW Hunter Region. When you find Lizzy log it as a 'note'. You must log a 'move' for Lizzy within a week of you getting her to then turn your 'note' into a 'find'. Each individual Geocacher can log a find on Lizzy up to 5 times but there must be 2 "found it"; logs between each of yours. 2009-03-21T00:00:00Z Team Waldron Note We took this one over to Kangaroo Island for a holiday. Its safely snuggled in the rocks under a bush on the headland above Stokes Bay. We stayed in the row of units nearby. I would recommend a walk up from the lower car park to the cache spot. 2009-03-16T00:00:00Z Trail06 Note Moved Lizzie on and it is on the move to Kangaroo Island. Thanks to Team Waldron. 2009-03-16T00:00:00Z Team Waldron Found I found it at Trail06's house. Its going to Kangaroo Island. 2009-02-08T00:00:00Z Trail06 Found What a great hide and what an adventure in retrieving it. I had tried this cache once before but the terrain beat us. This time, I grabbed a local who was familiar with the terrain and we ventured out on a hot and windy Saturday afternoon. We dropped to sea level and navigated the rocks and incoming tide, only to search in vain. My local consultant then shot up the cliff like a mountain goat and searched all the nooks and crannys. A cry rang out and I see my friend leaping in the air with alarm, dislodging a large rock in the process, which narrowly missed me at the bottom of the cliff in the process. (Thanks Winter dragon for setting a trap for both us....very funny!) I see my buddy then lean down and retrieve the something that had scared both of us. Hurray, the cache was ours! We signed the log but as we made our way back along the rocks, we realised that we had left our return walk along the beach a little late. The tide had almost covered our only escape up the cliff and we were beginning to wonder if cliff rescue were answering their phone. We managed to get by the rocks just before the water covered them and climbed to freedom very relieved. Thanks all for a great adventure. We will move it along soon. 2008-10-06T00:00:00Z winterdragon Note Decided that Lizzy could do with some coastal rock action, so she's now near the sea. Up a bit, under that pile of rocks... 2008-09-28T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found Found Lizzy in her rocky home. I was a bit hesitant reaching in to grab her - would have jumped a few feet if she turned out to be a real one :-) 2008-09-04T00:00:00Z If Note Lizzy is hanging out high above the biggest town in South Australia. A peaceful place on the ridges of the Mt Lofty Ranges :) 2008-08-24T00:00:00Z If Found The cold weather here in the Orroral Valley had sent Lizzy into hibernation. Finding Lizzy in amongst the rocks was a tough call indeed. I looked for 15 minutes at least before giving up and wandering off to find another cache. But on my way back I had to have another look. The morning sun must have stirred our scaly friend and I spotted her in a trice :) 2008-06-28T00:00:00Z SecretSquirrel-BJC Found 7(+866=873) 12:10pm Thanks Mix - I really like this cache. It had been well-hidden in a lovely rocky location in a wonderful Namadgi valley by Tankengine. When I eventually spotted it, I had to do a proof of life test with a stick!! LOL! *Overall Experience: 4* http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Rating 2008-06-28T00:00:00Z SecretSquirrel-BJC Note This is such a lovely valley that I will just move Lizzy nearly 2k along to another great spot on the side of a knoll overlooking "Orroral Run". 2008-03-23T00:00:00Z Tankengine Found Yippee - found that little sucker! Sneeky hide! Have moved it too... 2008-03-23T00:00:00Z Tankengine Note OK - found some more rocks for lizzy. 2008-01-20T00:00:00Z McPhan Note Lizzy is now in a rocky area at the gateway to Namadgi, home to some of Canberra's biggest rocks. 2008-01-19T00:00:00Z McPhan Found Like the last finder/mover found Lizzy in the rain on a 6km round trip to collect the new Tuggeranong utility caches as well as this one. Very cute container. Hopefully back out tomorrow. 2007-11-28T00:00:00Z winglen Note Lizzy has had great travels to rocky places this week. We took her to 'Bats in the Belfry', 'Legoland' and 'Namadgi Billabong' this week - the first two in particular are spectacular rocky places. Didn't leave her there however, because those caches don't get many visitors. She is happily surrounded by rocks in a rocky location, where she should be safe from muggles. 2007-11-22T00:00:00Z winglen Found Very funny story attached to this. I left work a bit early for a bike ride, only to encounter light rain, then heavy rain. Despite having a raincoat I became soaked (but the rain is great and not complaining). Found myself on Aspen Island but without the coords for Lizzy - I only knew she was in a tree hollow, but had no idea what I was looking for. Picture me tentatively exploring in the hollow, poking with a stick! Laughed to myself as I squelched back around the lake!! We'll place her somewhere rocky, dear Lizzy! 2007-11-10T00:00:00Z medicalmarcus Note Found this one, but left it where it lay 2007-11-06T00:00:00Z Tealby Note Lizzy has now moved to Aspen Island - hiding in a little tree hollow (the rocks are all a bit wet hereabouts). She should be collected next Saturday at the WWFM event, if not before. 2007-10-31T00:00:00Z Bewilderbeest Note Having unexpectedly collected Lizzy, I had to find somewhere to leave it. Solution? Easy, the same as I how I received it - just hand it on to another cacher. 2007-10-27T00:00:00Z Bewilderbeest Found I arranged to meet with Tealby to collect the two large TBs she had in her possession. As an unexpected bonus, she also handed me Lizzy! Now I need to find somewhere to leave it... 2007-10-26T00:00:00Z Tealby Note Dropped off & immediately collected by Bewilderbeest... 2007-10-20T00:00:00Z Tealby Found Lizzy was well hidden in the rocks & it took me a while to track her down - in the end I needed the assistance of the B Team, who spotted her almost immediately. 2007-10-17T00:00:00Z mtbikeroz Note Out near Tidbinbilla, in a rocky location with views along the Paddys river. 2007-10-05T00:00:00Z mtbikeroz Found Got it - Will drop it off in a rocky place soon. 2007-09-30T00:00:00Z mtrax Note Now in Canberra,ACT dropped on Coleman Ridge, with great views of South Canberra. 2007-09-30T00:00:00Z BigO'N Note Found Lizzie, I wasn't able to move it on as a home owner at the bottom of the hill was watching me like a hawke, he didn't like me parking my old bomb across from his pretty house on public land, tosser. Signed the log but left lizzie and a cloud of dust for the jerk when I left. 2007-09-24T00:00:00Z mtrax Found found Lizzy nicey tucked away under a rock shelf.. wasn't in official geocaching clothes but thankfully didn't get too dirty finding it... will drop when I get home 2007-09-09T00:00:00Z The Wandering Wilkos Note I have just found out I will have no Caching time for the next week so I have had to drop her nearby in suburbia. Hope the traffic noise doesn't drive her nuts. 2007-09-09T00:00:00Z The Wandering Wilkos Found Followed some astute advice and tackled this one from the end of the road. The walk up was easy as we fluked the gap in the escarpment. Lizzy has now moved on and we will post the co-ordinates for her new home very shortly. Pesky, I think you should put down a permanent Cache where Lizzy was as the view is sensational and it deserves to be shared. Took: Lizzy Left: not a thing 2007-07-13T00:00:00Z GeoMonkeys Note i wonder if i have over rated this one? the location is not a high risk location it is just dificult to access... meaning there is no trail and you might , just might have to go the long way around, but its definitely not a 1/1 its been ages, if no one attempts it soon, ill move it down to the foot path out side my house. at least there someone might trip over it and log a find. 2007-04-27T00:00:00Z GeoMonkeys Note Ahh now you have a perfect resting place... none shall bother you here for some time, i hope, ( insert evil laugh). Your sanctuary is guarded by high rock ledges and few access points, in fact there are no trails in this area. terrain varies from 3 to 4.5 ( no ropes needed) be careful when you choose your approach. It is safe if you consider your options and look at going around instead of always straight up. From the way point you will be able to see Lizzy, but may need a boost up, or a long stick to retrieve her. Don't forget to turn around and check out the view once you have found Lizzy, one of the best on the coast. terrain 4 (max) difficulty 1 ( you will see him sttaight away.) 2007-04-26T00:00:00Z GeoMonkeys Found ha! i have you now ... lizzy! What a way to finish off a day of geocaching... 19:30 at night, on a dark lonely stretch of road. the sounds of who knows what eminating from the distant bushlands, and a 50m stumble through the bush to the edge of who know what, my torch would not light up the bottom. found this little dude hanging around under a ledge waiting to frighten me, even though i kew what to expect, it was still a surprise when lizzy came into view.... excelent work. now to find a devious spot to place him. 2007-03-31T00:00:00Z GIN51E Note Lizzy is now in a place which i think he will feel very at home, 2007-03-24T00:00:00Z GIN51E Found A cache so close to home yet it took me this long to notice, so up first thing in the morning and headed off to pick the little fella up, he must have been right at home because i nearly stepped on one of his own kind as i approached GZ but Lizzy although he can stay very still he couldn't hide from me and i had him quickly in my hands. Will let him go again once the weather improves. 2007-03-05T00:00:00Z zeb00 Note moved. a very easy walk from the road and luckly good gps signal as there are lots of hideing spots 2007-03-02T00:00:00Z zeb00 Found Found will place it over the weekend 2007-02-18T00:00:00Z Nilbog_Aus Note Thought Lizzi would like to hang out at one of our favourite rocky outcrops with its valley views. 2007-02-18T00:00:00Z Nilbog_Aus Found Found Lizzy hidden under a rock, scared Mrs Nilbog a little. Will move her on to another rock soon. 2007-01-27T00:00:00Z homedg Found Lizzy is now living under a new rock. Got a shock as I moved some bark and lizzy Jumped out at me. LOL. Will find a new rocky home for her shortly. 2007-01-26T00:00:00Z sevabo Note I am sure Lizzy would love this place so I left it there. 2007-01-10T00:00:00Z Everlasting Note Lizzy loves this place - excellent view as well. 2007-01-10T00:00:00Z sevabo Found found Lizzy and seems lost so I took Lizzy with me for while before moving to another rock. 2007-01-07T00:00:00Z keener Note Appologies for keeping so long got misplaced and forgot I had it 2007-01-07T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found What a cute one. Will move the cache very soon 2006-11-29T00:00:00Z Damo. Note Don't worry GIN51E, I hadn't noticed either (thought this was on my watchlist) and came past this evening to check while walking my dog. Thought it must have run off too. 2006-11-19T00:00:00Z GIN51E Note I came i looked and i looked and i looked, oh well the cache must have been muggled. then i come on here to log my DNF which i was very upset about as its the first DNF for some time. Then I see the cache has already been picked up on the 6th why didn't i notice that this morning before i left? aah maybe its because i read the description where you can't log it as a find until you have placed the cache in a new location within a week, now that its been over a week does that mean you now have to change your find to a DNF? Don't mind me I'm just a little upset about my own stupidity looking for a cache which if i paid more attention to the logs would have realised it had already been found [:)] 2006-11-06T00:00:00Z keener Found snuck up to GZ as to not alert Lizzy of my presence, Crikey! she put up a fight as I attempted to bag her. Lizzy will be re-located shortly. Co ordinates were spot on. keener 2006-09-12T00:00:00Z zactyl Note You can do it easily with a calculator! -33.918100o Take the decimal portion and multiply by 60 0.918100 * 60 = 55.086 So then you have: S 33o 55.086' Rinse and repeat! 2006-09-11T00:00:00Z Damo. Note Lizzy now has a nice spot to sit in the afternoon sun. Might be hiding if you were too noisy approaching. I've lost my GPS hence the delay in placing this cache out. The coords were taken with GE but unfortunately it provides them in DMS or degrees. Here's both. Anyone got a converter? 33o55'5.16"S, 151o 8'23.03"E -33.918100o, 151.139735o Edit: Thanks Zactyl! 2006-08-07T00:00:00Z Damo. Found Found the little Lizzy while visiting zactyl on the Gold Coast. She was getting bored staying in the one spot so I'll have to find a nice rocky place in Sydney for her to rest. Hopefully she will have more visitors. 2006-07-20T00:00:00Z zactyl Note Found a nice rocky place for Lizzy to hide in, with million dollar views! If you're almost in the water you're in the right spot. It's very close to "Evandale", one of my GCA caches (so grab that while you're there), but this wasn't the motivating factor for placement. Any problems finding Lizzy, feel free to ring my mobile (daytime is best, I work nights). 2006-07-13T00:00:00Z zactyl Found Easy find at 12:30am after work, was going to swim across the creek but there were some shifty looking characters in the carpark, so I parked near the Tourist Information Building on the right side of the bridge and had Lizzy in hand in under 10 minutes! Then I couldn't resist the urge to <A href="http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0337">Nude Up</A> for a swim ;) 2006-07-11T00:00:00Z Mix Note Lizzy will start her travels here, she is 2-3 meters back from the high water mark under the trees were there is no sat reception. Good reception on the sand though so you should have no trouble. 2006-07-05T00:00:00.000Z GA0506 Long Ghan Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0506 Long Ghan Geocache Geocache Long Ghan miray Oodnadatta South Australia Australia Traditional Small 1.5 2

The amazing early bridge builders

The Neales River crossing is the largest water crossing on the Oodnadatta track and is located about 144kms from William Creek. Depending on the season this may offer a pleasant camping location with a water back drop, beneath the Algebuckina Railway Bridge, or it could be as dry as a bone. This 578 metre 'Old Ghan' bridge was major engineering exercise. It is the longest bridge in South Australia and, with soaring steel arches, makes a very imposing impression. There are graves at the northern side of 3 railway workers killed building the line. This cache complements the existing "Here Today, Ghan Tomorrow" cache situated at the other end of the bridge, and gives a good excuse to walk between the two. Dont try walking along the bridge track, though! Look left 2009-07-11T00:00:00Z sup8pdct Found 3 days short of 3 years old and i am the first to find it :) Tin is rusty but was able to open it. Contents are ok. Signed log. James & Patt 2009-06-01T00:00:00Z miray Note My apologies to anyone trying to find this one - it appears that I transcribed the coordinates incorrectly. The coordinates are now hopefully correct. Thanks to James for spotting this one. 2009-05-31T00:00:00Z sup8pdct Note Are you sure this is the correct Co-rdinates? This location is close to the birdsvill track, no where near the bridge on the oodnadatta track.

J & J's first GCA hide, and fifth geocache hide overall. (adopted by four-fun October 2007)

<a href="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/ga0484/386.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/ga0484/thumbs/tn_386.jpg" /> </a> This cache overlooks the back of our home of three years in Hahndorf. From the cache coordinates, our old house lies about 750 metres away at a bearing of 261°True. On Thursday 15th June 2006, the water pipes in our ceiling suddenly burst under the strain of constant cold temperatures freezing them. No-one was home at the time, so mains pressure water pumped into our roof space for up to an hour before someone was able to shut off the water supply. Every carpet in the place was saturated, the bathroom ceiling collapsed under the weight of waterlogged insulation, and all kitchen cabinets had soaked up enough water to write them off completely. After staying in the house for a further four nights, the stench of mould in the place was making us feel ill, and we had no choice but to move to another house at very short notice. Lucky for us we were only renting the house. <a href="http://geocaching.com.au/gallery/image/100"><img alt="" src="http://gallery.geocaching.com.au/pics/ga0484/thumbs/tn_426.jpg" /> </a> We were not the only people in the hills area to experience this sort of phenomena during a bitterly cold spell, and there were certainly worse damaged houses than ours around. It could have been much worse for us, but it was a very stressful and uncertain time that we hope to never have to go through again. We decided to place this cache here as a memento to our time living in Hahndorf and the events that caused us to leave. The cache is a round 300ml black container placed as a drive-by. It contains a log book, pencil and a few swaps. Base of the tree. 2009-07-23T00:00:00Z shaunster Found Wrong. It's there. Daylight helped... 2009-07-17T00:00:00Z shaunster Not Found Even though it was pitch black & freezing, Busybees & myself spent some time looking for this one. We may have overlooked it in our haste but the number of empty beer bottles and junk food wrappers had us thinking that maybe this cache has been vandalised... 2009-07-02T00:00:00Z Waterlogged Found Didn't get much of a view today due to the rain and then some more rain while trying to sign log book. Did this one as a quick driveby on the way home. TFTC 2009-06-15T00:00:00Z tony_agogo Found This is a great view and a nice cache. Long time since it's been found so was wondering if it would still be here. TNLN. 1st person to sign log since Sep 08! 2008-09-25T00:00:00Z firesafe Found An easy find with a great view. TNLNSL. TFTC. 2008-04-03T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Found the cache at 12.30pm. Nice view from here. Accomapnied with Joan. No swap. Thanks four-fun for organising the cache and hunt. 2007-11-14T00:00:00Z 4 Hoddos Found First GCA cache. Nice driveby and a great view on a beautiful afternoon. Nearly got muggled but was low down signing the log and don't think I was seen. Did get an ant bite (or something similar) from putting my hand where I usually wouldn't. Thanks. 2007-10-08T00:00:00Z J_&_J Note Many thanks to four-fun for adopting this cache. 2006-12-31T00:00:00Z richary Found Quick find once I got the right track. Nice views from up here. TNLNSL, sorry about the pipes! 2006-10-25T00:00:00Z FeatherWaite Found Quick call by here on the way to work. Enjoyed the diversion and the view. TNLN. Featherwaite's first GCA-only find. Cheers! 2006-10-05T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found On a day after one of the hottest October days ever this place was just windy and cool. found easily and enjoyed going on a road I have never been on before. Hope that your house is fine now. At Crafers that day it was cold but it never seems to be as bad as your area. 2006-09-25T00:00:00Z Team Ermalesh Found Found at 16:45, on the way home from picking up the oldest Geokid from her piano lesson in Mt barker. This has been on my to-do list for a couple of months, finally decided that today was the day. Nice little drive-by, brilliant views at this time of the day. Thanks J&J. 2006-08-07T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Found thismorning in bright sunlight. Nice views! That probably explains why there have been cars parked here the last 2 times I visited!! 2006-07-30T00:00:00Z miray Found Found on a misty early Sunday morning. A lovely part of Hahndorf we hadn't been to before. Lots of birds at this time of day. TNLNSL. Thanks J&J 2006-07-09T00:00:00Z stanleys Found As the description says this one IS a drive by. It wasn't freezing, while we were there, but there was a good wind chill factor happening. Quick easy find and off we went again. There can be nothing worse than having freezing pipes. Thanks for the cache J&J. TNLNSL Stanleys 2006-07-06T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found Did as a driveby, whilst in area. Sorry to hear about your house J_&_J, hope all is well now! TNLNSL Thanks 2006-06-25T00:00:00Z JackHenry Found Found by Jackhenry 25/6/06 @ 18:45. Not far from our home coordinates. Had just returned home from caching up near Walkers Flat and thought I'd quickly log our finds and check email. Damn... a new one right here. Rushed out to get thet FTF. We even gave up watching Big Brother to grab this one. Thanx J & J 2006-06-18T00:00:00.000Z GA0476 Blewy Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0476 Blewy Geocache Geocache Blewy stanley McLaren Flat South Australia Australia Traditional Small 1 1.5

Almost a driveby.

You are looking for a small black Sistema box, hidden in a park next to the road. The nearby buildings could be busy at times, especially during the summer months. If you have any spare cash on you when you visit we are sure that the station occupants would gratefully relieve you of it. Also try the local wineries if you're that way inclined. Too easy for hints. 2008-12-17T00:00:00Z Alansee Found All was quiet here today and the cache was found easily. Pondered over the chain around the tree as I left. Thanks stanley. 2008-10-17T00:00:00Z firesafe Found A quick and easy find on a warm day. No action here today which is a good thing. TNLNSL. TFTC 2008-05-07T00:00:00Z lava12 Found Found it easy. Thanks Stanaley for the cache. :-) 2007-11-06T00:00:00Z FeatherWaite Found Found the cache sitting in its spot. Hid it with (slightly) more camauflage. TNLN. Thanks for the cache! 2007-03-27T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Found the cache - no problem. Lovely country area. No swap. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt. 2007-02-04T00:00:00Z TeamLangy Found Another After Work Caching Adventure with EmZee Wild'rs. At least one of us uploads GCA caches! Easy find even with terrible sat lock at GZ! TNLN 2007-02-03T00:00:00Z EmZee Wild'rs Found Found this one w/ my travelling companion, Team Langy! Have often driven home this way lamenting the fact that no caches were nearby - guess I should have checked GCA... TFTF 2006-11-11T00:00:00Z J_&_J Found Time for one last drive-by on our way home. Could not believe we are only the third to find! It makes us very dissapointed to see the lack of interest in GCA caches here in SA. A cache is a cache is a cache. We found the container completely exposed, but no muggle activity present. Maybe even muggles don't like Aussie caches??? Anyhow, we enjoyed the chance to stop off in this peaceful quiet spot. Took the mondo figure, left a black lanyard. Thanks Stanleys for the chance to log another quality GCA hide. 2006-07-24T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found Took the geokid out again today (last day of holidays) YAY!! To check on some of our nearby cache. A good opportunity to nail this one finally. An easy find (unlike Clare & Don). TNLNSL Thanks Stanleys 2006-06-19T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Had work nearby this morning so was very happy to see this cache pop up just a couple km from there. A nice easy find in a very peaceful location that wasn't at all where I had expected! Cheers, TFTH. 2006-06-15T00:00:00.000Z GA0474 Hill Sellick Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0474 Hill Sellick Geocache Geocache Hill Sellick TeamHurtle Sellicks Hill South Australia Australia Traditional Regular 1 2.5

Go for a drive up a hill! Then walk down a hill!

This cache is not far from parking at S35 20.750 E138 29.052 There is magnificient views from up here, of the southern end of the 'Mid Coast'. We originally were going to get 'Virtual Vacation' up and running with some maintenance, but it has totally been muggled. So we saw this hill and decided to place our first GCA cache here instead. It is still far enough away from the other cache to be more than a saunter over to claim (you'll see the gully when you get there!) This cache has an assortment of goodies, including: Patch, magnet, 'flat' marbles, water balloons, golfball, resus mask, bottle stopper, & a car wash token. Enjoy the peacefulness of being 'on top of the world'! PS: It wasn't windy the day we placed it! :-) Base of a tree. 2009-04-05T00:00:00Z Waterlogged Found Last time I was here I got to the parking area at the top of the hill, but with sleeping geokid in car it was too far to venture off. But today was a different matter, so a nice easy find was in order after a startled kangaroo disappeared down the gully. TFTC 2009-03-29T00:00:00Z sevabo Found Beauitful view but couldn't believe the amount of trash in the area, especially the cars. [:(] Sad to see it like that. Lucky we hop into Skippy's 4WD, I had to close my eyes while drive up or down the hills but I am glad I came here. Thanks Team Hurtle for the hunt and cache [:)] 2009-03-26T00:00:00Z Trail06 Not Found Armed with a four wheel drive, four GPS units and a laptop, Team Waldron and I were hopeful of an easy find. But no, the gully looked just too deep. We had our fill of cliffs today! We will be back. 2008-12-16T00:00:00Z Alansee Found Good spot for a cache and some good exercise to get it. Did I mention the flies? Thanks Team Hurtle. 2008-02-24T00:00:00Z hittin the road Found WOW what views from up here. What hard work to get a cache. Parked at the parking spot and did the rest on foot. Down not too bad but getting back up had me beathing hard. Lucky it wasn't a hot day. TNLN TFTC teamhurtle 2008-01-13T00:00:00Z lava12 Found I found it with Everlasting. thanks :-) 2008-01-13T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Gosh!! So beautiful view!!! We enjoyed drive up up up to the top and excellent view... Thanks TeamHurtle 2008-01-12T00:00:00Z TeamGeoPlesk Found Find number 13 of 70 on Stage Two (Adelaide and Surrounds) of my Melbourne to Katherine Relocation. A great spot for the cache! Beaut views as the sun set although a fun climb back up in the dark! TFTC 2007-11-22T00:00:00Z 4 Hoddos Found Great spot, but pity about the rubbish and the flies. Warm day - wanted to get this one before it gets too hot. TNLNSL. Thanks. 2007-04-10T00:00:00Z Team Piggy Found Easy find, Road is greatly improved, Always fun when they use it as one of the stages of the SDCC Rally at night! Some of the cars are even hitting 180Kph+ on it! (Closed road of course!). Drove to within 20 mtrs, TNLN, Cheers. 2006-06-19T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Drov up the hill on a road that has been greatly improved since I did the Virtual Vacation cache. Then parked next to a 4WD at the given coordinates. To my surprise they weren't cachers but just up there to enjoy the view and go for a little walk! Once they disappeared cache was quickly located, swapped something! and then headed back down for some lunch. Cheers, TFTH. 2006-06-18T00:00:00Z stanley Found Found by Stanleys. glad to find that we were the first to find this one. Interesting drive up the hill from Main South Rd; I always thought the road stopped at the pub. Took the travel bug to set it back on its way, left nothing. Pity to see that people push cars over the edge around this scenic part of the Southern Vales.

Although the name suggests some kinky pornographic cache, it is very family friendly. Childrens playground at the cache location. (or is the cache location at a playground) Container is a small 'Eclipse' flip top tin 2009-06-30T00:00:00Z Waterlogged Found Nice quick little cache in another out of the way playgrounds. Thanks 2009-03-07T00:00:00Z Rogue Seekers Found Thanks for the cache. Everyone got nice a greasy. Left a few lucky pennies from Canada and the US. Did not have a pen so could not sign the log. 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z Pheonix5744 Found Found with ease, and the help of a previously well used extraction tool. SL TFTC 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Having read some of the earlier logs, I had a pretty good idea where to look. Found the right size extraction implement nearby and managed to stay reasonably grease free. TFTC 2008-11-04T00:00:00Z richlink Found Lovely afternoon in Mt. Barker. Located cache easily enough but like others we ended up with dirty fingers. 2008-08-23T00:00:00Z Gizmo's Gang Found Easy find in a pleasant area. Mum loved the water birds and took the opportunity to play photographer. Wet and muddy but fun. Should have read the logs about adding fencing wire and degreaser to the caching kit. :) Instead we added to the greasy stick collection nearby. 2008-04-03T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Found the cache at 2.35pm. Lovely park. We have a good fun search - SL. Thanks JackHenry for organising the cache and hunt. 2007-10-27T00:00:00Z Trail06 Found Found while doing learner driver training in Mt Barker. It was a long way from Brighton but Mt Barker is a lovely place to visit. Thanks heaps for the cache. 2007-07-07T00:00:00Z richary Found Found after a short search. Unlcukily ants have taken up residence in the hidey hole but hadnt got into the cache. Retrieval was hard - luckily had a suitable tool in the car. TNLNSL, thanks. 2007-03-26T00:00:00Z Geo_Stik Found My first GCA only find. A quick but messy find. Thanks. 2006-12-03T00:00:00Z FeatherWaite Found Made mental note to add length of fencing wire and 4 litres degreaser to caching kit. Thanks for the cache JackHenry. 2006-10-09T00:00:00Z chizbeki Found 18:00. Found it with geokids for cover. The collection of cache extraction instruments continues to grow. Sort of signed the log but isn't that clear. Gotta add a pencil sharpener to the caching toolkit. Looks like someone has been aerating the grassed area? Or perhaps that was just Team Ermalesh stomping around in stiletto's? ;-) 2006-10-05T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found I needed to find this one today otherwise I would have been depressed for the rest of the day. Hads a bit of difficulty retrieving but it was one of the only places it could be. Thanks FF 2006-09-26T00:00:00Z JackHenry Note Fish Nets!!!! Stiletto's !!!! OMG, any photos 2006-09-25T00:00:00Z Team Ermalesh Found Found at 16:05, just dropped the oldest Geokid at her piano lesson, so decided that this cache needed waking from its winter slumber. Got my fish-nets on, with my favourite pair of stiletto's and minced my way over to the obvious hide in a non-pornographic way. Used youngest geokid for cover, extraction was a little tough. Thanks Jackhenry. 2006-06-27T00:00:00Z brains trust racing Found Easy find for Brains Trust Racing even without the Brains nice tight fit, took voogoofish's badge left Brains Trust Racing car (tight park)sl 2006-06-19T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Area was deserted this morning so it was a quick easy find for me. Retrieving it from its hidey hole tok more time!! NLNSL, Cheers. 2006-06-10T00:00:00Z J_&_J Found Trickier to find than we were expecting. Felt the eyes of the neighbourhood watching us. Interesting old artefact. Thanks JackHenry. 2006-06-07T00:00:00Z kieranfunkle Found Found it at night. well hidden. TNLN 2006-06-06T00:00:00Z gozling Found First gca find after tip off from voogoofish about nearby cache. Took a mid-morning walk with nursesmith, found eventually after being convinced that every possibly hiding spot had been checked!!! TNLNSL 2006-06-05T00:00:00Z voogoofish Found I think this is my first .com.au cache (do they transfer over?)! Ants Ants everywhere, up me legs, up me arms but got the cache! can see nursesmith's house from here so I'm certain she'll be onto it! sad that it was 2nd place to Hurtle but thats cool. Found about 1.10pm. TN Left: voogoofish badge SL... an ant from the cache is now crawling on my desk :) 2006-06-05T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found On my way out today, thought I'd detour via Mt Barker for a cache! Woo hoo got a ftf on it as well. Took all of 30 secs to locate, but about 2 mins to retrieve, whilst trying to look inconspicuous! Managed to retrieve, even with my fat fingers. TNLNSL Thanks JackHenry for another gca cache 2006-06-02T00:00:00.000Z GA0456 Bindy Track Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0456 Bindy Track Geocache Geocache Bindy Track Zytheran Campbelltown South Australia Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 2

A traditional black container in an off the beaten track part of Linear Park.

We discovered this location when planning a multi whilst out riding. In fact this was as far as we got on bikes that day. The old track down to here from the west is totally covered in Bindy's and pretty soon we had 6 out of 6 flat tyres, many with 2 or 3 leaks. Strongly suggest wearing shoes in this area! 2008-06-12T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Found the cache - no problem. The container still good. Enjoyed walk along to the cache. No swap. SL. Thanks Zytheran for organising the cache and hunt. 2007-10-06T00:00:00Z ranger family Not Found Ranger 2 had a go at finding this one without success. I suspect that I approached it wrong. Will try again later from a different direction. 2007-08-26T00:00:00Z Trail06 Found Were just starting on our walk from Athelstone to Adelaide along the Linear Park path and decided to grab this one on our way. Stood at the top of the bank questioning whether we were game enough to go 20 metres to the cache down what seemed to be a sheer drop to the water. Just as geodaughter was considering the best means of convincing geodad to attempt it, geodad found a much easier path through the reeds. GPS led us right to the cache - nice easy find. Thanks for the cache! 2007-02-28T00:00:00Z Dik: Found After getting a FTF on "Gotta get a Woody" I decided it was time to put another GCA cache to bed. I didn't come down the bindy track, but took another from the west along the river through the reeds. I was thinking this is typical Zythran terrain, then came out to a nice easy open area at the bottom of the intended access. Quickly located once at GZ. 2006-09-24T00:00:00Z emeryco Found It was getting late but we really wanted this one. Again we parked on the wrong side and had to find a bridge. DR.E and Tricky had to jog to the location and turned out to come in from the top (not a good idea). Lots of pain and prickles, eventually descended and came up from below. Left CD took Mickey Mouse Z. TFTP (thanks for the prickles) 2006-09-04T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found This one popped up today. Thought I'd stop, even though I had no notes with me. All I could remember was that 4-fun went over the edge AGAIN, and there were prickles to be got. Only had rubber soles, not tyres, so had no problems. A very nice and serene park. Had to move some rocks to get back across the creek, as it looked further going back than when I took the leap of faith to get over! (and stayed dry too) :-) Left a patch Took the resus mask Thans Zeeman 2006-06-19T00:00:00Z four-fun Found As per usual I approached this cache from above, I try to do this with all Zytheran caches ;) But had the geo-mutt with me today so took it a little slower and managed to locate the box without any injuries (not even a Bindy!) Was very surprised and delighted to find it still a virgin - Your reputation must be scaring them off Z. Swapped Sudoku game for a resus. mask & a fluoro golfball.

Once you get to the location, it is easy to find. Take sandshoes.

A temporary lunch box. First to find, would you please replace the container if you can. Visitors book and pen only. My first hide so please be patient. 2008-09-04T00:00:00Z ggkof Not Found Visited this one with davroy. Both of us had GZ on the clay pan about 50m to the nearest bush or tree or the start of the dunes. We hunted around the dunes for quite a while and checked around the only tree on the clay pan with out success. Suspect the way point co-ordiantes need reviewing as we don't think there right. Maybe if we'd had more time we could have tried different datums in case it wasn't using WGS84.

By Team Nibbler

Start at Gate 7 and go for a walk with the Echindas. No bush bashing required follow the track. The going is easy with only a few moderately steep sections. When you arrive at your destination you will have to think outside the square. This is Team Nibblers first cache we hope you enjoy the walk amongst the native cherry trees. 2009-05-03T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Was heading towards McLaren Vale to do some caches but thought I would take a different route. As I was going past Onkaparinga Gorge the screen lit up so stopped here instead. A few walking caches was what was required after a week at a Sydney Conference. [:)] Nice walk in cool conditions and an easy find. This came up twice at GZ so started looking for a second cache but thought it must have been the same one as the GC cache. Left Horse TB and Gnome TB (see http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=0a0d8ec7-006f-4f55-8db5-7a9379562a99). TFTC Day 323 of non-stop caching. [:D] 2009-04-19T00:00:00Z yeti840 Found Found this with the help of team swoggers, well sort of. A great hide and great views. 2008-06-09T00:00:00Z lgthomas Not Found Spent 20 mins looking for the cache. Eventually gave it away and decided to go back o nline and look at previous logs. Unfortunately, they wern't much help. Will have to leave for another day. 2007-06-17T00:00:00Z Waterlogged Found Enjoyed walking the full loop of the track. Made better by finding a cache along the way. 2007-03-26T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Found the cache at 4pm. Enjoyed walk along to the cache. Admire the bushland and track. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt. 2006-06-14T00:00:00Z !mike Found Loverly walk through the bush on a nice sunny day. Keep to the track I said, but Anne would not have that. "Follow the arrow" she says, "it will be shorter". So we take a poor track in general direction. We then backtracked.... Fellow cachers, if team nibbler says "follow the track", then FOLLOW THE TRACK!!!!! Trust me, team nibbler knows best. Lastly, I would say the terrain difficulty deserves higher than a 1.5 :-) 2005-10-18T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found What really made this cache special was the Echidna that was on the side of the track on my way out. TNLNSL. What history this structure had? The Echidna by the way was a bit timid and didn't really want his photo taken but I sat still and let the mossies bite whilst I waited for the oportune time. Hopefully other cachers will have this experience. 2005-09-18T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found A nice walk, a bit easier after having done 'Oh Gorge-ous One!' Would also like to know more about the 'square'! TN Left a cloth patch, SL 2005-08-10T00:00:00Z stanley Found Went for an evening cache, which took a bit longer than expected! We took the wrong track and had to bush bash a bit, thankfully the kangaroos had made a few tracks to follow. We finally found GZ but our GPS decided to point at one spot (the wrong spot) for about 10 minutes before deciding the cache was in the opposite direction! So, once the GPS caught up, the cache was found, TNLNSL. Thanks to Nibbler for this one, look forward to finding some more in here! -stanleys 2005-08-08T00:00:00Z four-fun Found No Echidnas to be seen today but a lot of fog. Had a very pleasant walk at lunchtime, in an area that deserves more caches. TN Left an aussie flag keyring. Cheers Nibblers! 2005-05-05T00:00:00.000Z GA0141 Why the fence?

Why.... Why the fence? Why a Cache in this spot? Because it's my first cache that I have hidden.

The fence.... A standard 6" garden variety fence in a circular fashion at a busy road junction. There is no need to jump the fence to find the cache. The cache is a film canister with logbook and stash note only, so bring your own pen. So..... Why the fence? If you know the answer, then please share it with the rest of us. Or just tell us your theory of __Why the fence?__ 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found I think I found this cache. Or did I find the GC cache? Should the GCA listing be archived if the GC listing is the main one? 2008-12-15T00:00:00Z Alansee Found Found the cache quickly which gave me more time to ponder the fence. It was so that some clever cacher could put a cache there of course! :). Thanks 2008-10-01T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Good question - what is the fence for. A quick find. TFTC. But which one do I log GC or GA 2008-01-27T00:00:00Z lava12 Found I found it with Everlasting. Thanks :-) 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z gr8cherokee Found logged this one on GC and thought I may as well log it on GCA as well 2007-04-21T00:00:00Z hittin the road Found Just for a short afternoon stroll to test new settings on OZI CE. still needs some adjustment. found it eventually and signed log. The fence could be to offer some sort of protection to what is probably quite historical given the age of the trees in the enclosure. TFTC 2007-03-26T00:00:00Z Everlasting Found Found the cache at 7pm. Admire old trees. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt. 2006-12-14T00:00:00Z snowone Found Struggled for quite a while. I was ready to pac it in, but diesel was more patient than me. Signed the log Thanks for the cache (I think the fence is to protect the tree from us and us from the tree) Also logged on the other site 2006-12-12T00:00:00Z diesel69 Found Searched for quite a while before finding this 2005-09-08T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found Nice walk from home. Found my FIRST cache!!! Took a few mins to find once there. I believe the fence is actually there to protect the very large, old gumtree from foot traffic and vandals!! Removed quite a few pieces of rubbish from around the site also! Thanks for the effort! 2005-09-06T00:00:00Z TeamLangy Found This was my second attempt at this one after a work day - and today was not a good day to go cache hunting as I was in somewhat of a mood. What is it with the fence? On one side of it my GPS said one thing and on the other something completely different! Both of them were fairly inaccurate and the cache was found by the semi-crippled EmZee with the "Other James Brown" (another colleague - not yet a cacher) a little embarrassed as he had looked in the hidey hole not a minute before. Signed the log for both of us. 2005-09-02T00:00:00Z !mike Found My second attempt at this. First time I just could not see it. Came back with more equipment and found it immediatly. 2005-07-30T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found ot to keep those trees in there somehow. Quick stop on the way to collect Setsujoku for a caching day out. TNLNSL. Could only sign log actually! 2005-05-10T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Took a little searching but eventually found. So many possible little hidey holes! The plant along the fence line is already starting to look a bit worse for wear. I hope this wasn't from goecachers searching? Because its not there! As for the fence its obviously there to keep the spirits from the ancient aboriginal burial ground from straying.

We were doing a stocktake with Moses on the move and we had a aha moment. 2006-09-30T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Not Found Sorry but I couldn't find it. Logging this way just so that it is noted. 2006-07-23T00:00:00Z echidna trek Found Nice spot, took crab, left glow letter & sticker. 2005-12-30T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found Found on way down to Edithburgh. Bloody hot day (hottest day in Dec for 66 years!) Was 42 in the city, probably 45 out here, even by the coast! Left a patch Took the bag clip Thanks Alex (your map helped!) 2005-04-30T00:00:00Z four-fun Found I was heading towards the northern suburbs to check on a couple other caches so it seemed like a good idea to go a little bit further and grab this one. A very pretty and peaceful location to contemplate the water from (or your navel perhaps!) Took the GCA sticker (coming to a cache near you very soon), left a split keyring and the 'shelldrake' TB.

Some caches are designed to be found often, ... by many, ... others are different.

This cache is on the far side of Faraway Hill Outstation. You could say it is off the beaten track. Perhaps if you travelled between Yunta and Morgan or took a back road from Burra to Broken Hill it might be almost a drive-by ... but what a drive! This is the land that gave rise to our national psyche. Now when you get here the cache is not too hard to find, however, unless you are verticallly gifted you may need to stand on something to see/retrieve it. Enjoy this remote location and when you find the cache take pride in having gone somewhere 'out of the ordinary - outback'. 2007-12-26T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found After a drive down from Yunta we finally got here. The roads had no traffic at all except for this last stretch when we came across the only other car during the drive. Tried to go direct to the cache in the 4WD but the ground was very soft after recent rains last week in the area. It's amazing what efforts they went to store water in the past only to end up ruined years later. I always wonder at the energy that went in to building and as history shows, it was not that long ago. The cache is intact in it's obvious location but the container is becoming brittle. The next Geocacher could bring a new container or make some repairs with tape to the current one so that it lasts a bit longer. Thanks Alex for bringing us here. Sorry that we did not camp the night but the flies were solid around here at the moment. I think that they are enjoying the water in the creek. 2007-07-23T00:00:00Z richary Found A long time since someone claimed gold, now I get to claim silver after camping about 100m away on the way over to visit my parents in Coffs Harbour. Nice spot though no water at the moment. Was a very pleasant camping place as well. TNLNSL, thanks Alex. 2005-06-04T00:00:00Z four-fun Found When this cache first appeared I thought 'that would be a great spot to visit one weekend' and it was an excellent spot. Convinced No.1 son that we should go for a little drive in his 4WD and he had a ball as well. Camped nearby the cache for the night and enjoyed the most spectacular night skies I have seen for years. All in all a great way and place to recharge the spirit. Thanks for taking me out there Alex, definately one of the most satisfying caches I have done to date. Cheers. 2004-12-29T00:00:00.000Z GA0001 Asia Quake and Tsunamis Appeal (Australia) Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0001 Asia Quake and Tsunamis Appeal (Australia) Geocache Geocache Asia Quake and Tsunamis Appeal (Australia) Team Piggy Adelaide South Australia Australia Traditional Other 1 1

There is no cache at the above coordinates. In the wake of the devastating EarthQuake and Tsunamis that have ripped through the Asian continents. We have decided to give all geocachers the opportunity to show their true spirit of caring and humanity..

The Red Cross Asia Quake and Tsunamis Appeal is collecting money for the victims of the area. The appeal aims to provide assistance to some 1,000,000 people after the strongest earthquake in 40 years caused massive tidal waves, killing at least 110.000 people, according to local authorities, and leaving more than one million displaced and homeless.. Countries affected include Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Maldives. The appeal aims to bring immediate support to relief operations of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies operating in the affected region.. Donations can be deposited direct to the red cross at: <a href="https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp">https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp</a> Please tick the boxes on the donation page to recieve a receipt and be sure to post the receipt with your find. Or you can post your donation as thus: Send a cheque or money order to GPO Box 9949 in your capital city. (Australia only) (please dont forget to indicate the Tsunami appeal for your donation to go towards). I will also accept donations to ANY fund, (word vision etc) that are towards this disaster fund. You may find it tricky to post a receipt on the find log, they are emailed in a PDF format, I saved mine in Adobe Acrobat and converted to a Jpg for posting to the Geo.com page. Or Alt-Printscreen may be useful and edit the saved image in a paint program. If you have too much trouble, mail the receipt to donate@teampiggy.com and I will convert it for you then email it back top be posted on the page. Finds noted without receipts will be deleted without question. I will accept any receipt that is a valid donation towards an appeal for the tsunami disaster. Thanks for your caring and generosity to those in a time of need. My initial aim is to reach <strike>$10,000</strike>$15,000.00 in donations for this cause. *Update* Cache has been onsite 1 hour and already reached over $3500.00. Thankyou all who donated so far. *Update* Cache is less than 50 hours old and donations have exceeded $6500.00. Thanks all. 2009-06-28T00:00:00Z Posspet Boys Found In respect of the good works done by the Red Cross a donation has been made to the 2009 Winter Appeal. Receipt #945813. The original appeal is no longer available to donate to but the tireless works of the Red Cross continue on and this is my contribution. 2009-01-19T00:00:00Z calumphing_four Found Remember donating to the appeal, but would have thrown out the receipts long ago with the tax records for that year. Continue to support the work of the Red Cross by becomign a "partner" with them. Must get back to giving them some blood too. Remember watching TV late at night when the news first came through. Would love to see a follow up program to see whether communities are back in place, or areas have become ghost towns. Cheers 2008-07-11T00:00:00Z firesafe Found Donated to this one on the 31st of December 2004 - have only just found the cache. Receipt 219992 for $100. 2008-03-24T00:00:00Z gr8cherokee Found Like others we donated to the Tsunamis appeal at the time but did not keep our receipt, so I have been reluctant to log this as a find. However I see others have had the same problem with the receipt bit and still logged it so I hope it is ok with everyone that we log this cache as a find. If not let me know and I will retract it. 2008-03-10T00:00:00Z winterdragon Found I donated to the Tsunami Appeal, but it was so long ago that there's now little hope of producing the receipt. I agree with the other finders that this was a terrible tragedy, and hope that the new tsunami warning system will mean we can prevent such huge losses in the future. I've done some digging on the GCA forums, and uncovered some of the history of this cache, and its counterpart on GC. Seems like there was a lot of heated debate at the time, so I can understand why you might have such a strong personal attachment to it. Apologies if I caused offence, as that wasn't my intention. 2008-03-05T00:00:00Z Team Piggy Note Considering it is GCA -001 it has a history to it as the first GCA cache to go public. Why archive it? I'm sure it isnt upsetting your day! You can always toddle off over to GC to get some caches archived if you have the need too.... As a note it can still be logged, and has been by some point hunters since its archive. I am sure if you (also) lost friends in this disaster your tone would be quite different? 2008-03-03T00:00:00Z winterdragon Note I have to say I agree with GeoMonkeys - it's no longer possible to log this cache, so there seems little point in keeping it active - sentimental reasons aside. After all, if it was listed on GC, then it would long ago have been archived without appeal. To paraphrase a famous philosopher - "It's not pinin', it's passed on. This cache is no more. It's ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet it's maker. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the website it'd be pushing up the daisies. It's metabolic processes are now 'istory. It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile. This is an ex-cache!" 2007-07-16T00:00:00Z Team Piggy Note Considering it is GCA -001 it has a history to it as the first GCA cache to go public. Why archive it? I'm sure it isnt upsetting your day! 2007-07-15T00:00:00Z GeoMonkeys Note should thi scache be sent to the history page, its been a long time since this event occured 2006-04-11T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found We donated on more than one occasion to the Red Cross in relation to the Tsunami Appeals. Can't find the receipts.... Donated to a few other local charities also. A great cause to help releive the problems now being faced there. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z TeamHurtle Found We donated on more than one occasion to the Red Cross in relation to the Tsunami Appeals. Can't find the receipts.... Donated to a few other local charities also. A great cause to help releive the problems now being faced there. 2005-02-22T00:00:00Z The 2 Dogs Note WE made our donation some time back and will be doing it again soon. I think it's important to keep an eye on how things are going and be ready to donate further as needed. I hope others will consider another donation when needed as well. 2005-01-21T00:00:00Z aloysius7 Found finally found my lost wallet and credit cards and donated to this. Receipt Number : 355699 I hope the monitary relief can help after such an horrific event. Its been wonderful to see everyone rally to this cause, reaffirms faith in human kind. 2005-01-18T00:00:00Z Team Tiges Found It's all so depressing. I've seen some really horrible images and heard some even worse stories out of this tragedy. Donated to the cause, wish I could do more to help. Official receipt number - 343870. 2005-01-16T00:00:00Z juzmac Note Like others, after a lot of struggling with the real benefit against local needs we decided to donate to 2 charities. The tsunami appeal through world vision australia has received $50 (receipt # from website is 162741) and we will be searching for a local charity to donate to as well (on top of our regular contributions)... Thanks to Team Piggy for taking the effort to get the gc.au community together as it is showing it is making a difference! 2005-01-15T00:00:00Z four-fun Found Have been meaning to do this and seeing this site just reminded me, thanks. Red Cross receipt #325472 2005-01-09T00:00:00Z GeoWombats Note I've asked the secondary site for a refund of my premium membership and requested that they donate it to the Tsunami appeal. Should do much more good there! 2005-01-08T00:00:00Z GeoMonkeys Found I have donated, during the telethon/concert this evening. may not see a reciept for months, so , not sure if you want this log yet, and seeing as ive just spent my last $1M on cache items to fill those barrels, we only doanted what we could afford. 2005-01-07T00:00:00Z sbalogh53 Found I have already logged my donation on the shamefully archived groundspeak cache, so I am not claiming a find on this one, just a note. I changed back to a find because the other Tsunami appeal no longer seems to be counted. 2005-01-07T00:00:00Z alex Note $97.70 raised in a raffle at the Melrose SA Geocachers get together last June. This is a much more worthy destination. 2005-01-07T00:00:00Z Bronze Note Slipped the salvos a couple of orange notes. Hard to do when returning from three weeks away but then again I have a home to sleep in to night and there are millions of neighbours who don't. Bless each day we awake to draw a breath. Sit and feel the sun next rise and take a moment to enjoy the freedom we share. Thanks piggy, thanks i! and thank you embi. The Bronze. - Shhh. Don't tell the wife! EDIT- I will change this to a note until my reciept # arrives. B. 2005-01-07T00:00:00Z Mind Socket Note Wrestled with my deep running moral conflicts and finally decided that donating would do more good than harm ... Receipt Number : 267398 Donation Amount $ 50.00 AUD Asia Quake and Tsunamis Appeal Thank you for your donation to Australian Red Cross. ---------------- Whilst the apparent hypocrisy is rife in the US, the changes in their sucky cache listing guidlines in the last 3 years are a factor in why the recent cache was not allowed whilst the 9/11 one remains. I'm hoping this is the last I need to read/write/hear/say about the whole thing. 2005-01-07T00:00:00Z Brendano Note Donated $100 to Red Cross Receipt No. 266900 2005-01-06T00:00:00Z hotandsweaty Found Donated $20 to the Red Cross at the Commonwealth Bank. No receipt No. Just direct deposit slip. Will scan and post if required. 2005-01-06T00:00:00Z odlids Found Sighhhhh!!!!!! $100 to Salvation Army South Asia Disaster Fund Receipt No. VZNR23608413 The Odlids 2005-01-06T00:00:00Z Swampgecko Found Did the right thing. Gave to the Australian Red Cross receipt number 251994. 2005-01-06T00:00:00Z maccamob Note Mary & David congratulate Team Piggy on setting up this cache in such a worthy cause. We are delighted to contribute. Our log on the secondary site was changed to a note after criticism from US-based cachers as to the motives of people donating to this worthy cause. Apparently it's ok to have caches supporting US disasters (see GC1C90) but not if it is somewhere outside the US, no matter that this disaster is on an unprecedented scale. Oh the hypocrisy! Shame! 2005-01-06T00:00:00Z embi Note Donated $50 to World Vision 29/12. Reciept Number N10223068 Plus J and I donated 6 hrs each at the Red Cross Call centre. We also hope to be on the phones on Sat night at the appeal concert. We have registered Just need conformation that we are in. 2005-01-05T00:00:00Z dcr Found A cache with a cause, good stuff!! Great idea Piggy, $3500.00 in an hour! Hopefully it will exceed the target. RED CROSS: Receipt Number : 254952 And after having a chat on the phone to Tracy, another $50 to Community Aid Abroad; receipt number is DN52568. cheers Darren :) The ELTHAM Mob 2005-01-05T00:00:00Z alex Found Great idea Piggy, My donation has gone to Care Australia receipt will follow when I receive it and conquer the complexities. "Thank you. Your order has been saved. Your donation will be processed and a receipt will be posted to out you. Your Order Reference Number is CAREAUST #24449" 2005-01-04T00:00:00Z Leek Found This cache provided an additional prompt to donate to this worthy cause... I am proud that someone from the geocaching community has organised this drive to raise donations... Every day I sit in disbelief in front of the TV, unable to comprehend the scale of human suffering involved in this tragedy... I hope our donations help in some small way... I find it amazing that there are so many petty minded cachers on the gc.com forums with nothing better to do all day than argue about the legitimacy of caches in the face of the biggest human tragedy ever... 2005-01-04T00:00:00Z Ideology Found We cannot imagine the scale of what is going on over there and hope that our donation will be of some assistance. 2005-01-04T00:00:00Z Riblit Note Mrs Riblit has family in Malaysia, including a niece in Penang. Thankfully she wasn't effected however we are happy to donate again. 2005-01-04T00:00:00Z Slider & Smurf Note More than happy to throw a few more dollars to a worthy cause ... and bah humbug to all those who disputed the value of creating a 'cache' for the purpose. Well done Piggy. 06 Jan 05 - changed from a find to a note, just in case some other gc.com forum user wants to accuse us of 'profiting from the deaths of others'.
