After grabbing a few caches around Yorketown last night it was time to head across the south coast.

Starting at Edithburgh, went through wind farms and sheep farms, then visited some spectacular coastline which has caused many ship wrecks over the years including the Clan Ranald and the Ethel.

Did quite a bit of walking in sand dunes to grab some caches in Innes National Park including a FTF at Inneston. Visited 2 lighthouses while down there – one at West Cape and the other at Cape Spencer.

After leaving the Innes National Park, I headed north along the coast to Gleesons Landing and Corny Point. Another lighthouse at Corny Point then across the top of the foot to Point Turton.

It was now dark and with the Tavern at the top of the hill and the caravan park at the bottom of the hill and free WiFi at both, the decision to call it a night here was made. After a seafood meal at the tavern, back to the cabin to log some finds.

Count for today given the large amount of walking for caches was 37 with 4 DNF’s but there was one FTF.

I awoke to more noise coming from the hall next door. This time it was the setting up of the Polling Booth – how convenient, I now knew where I was going to vote.

I went into vote and they said I wasn’t a local – wonder what gave it away. Placed the vote and hit the road grabbing some caches at Black Point and Port Julia.

The weather was so different from overnight with sunny skies and calm water in the Gulf. There were a few fishermen on the various jetties but other than that it was fairly deserted.

I moved inland to Curramulka which was a little geocache hot spot. From the signs here, I could see where the Rocky Glen Grommets got some of their pathtag designs.

It was time to play in the mud again and head back to the coast to Port Vincent and then down the coast to Stansbury. Found most of the caches at Vincent but had a poor find rate at Stansbury :-(.

Kept moving down the coast to Wool Bay with a few multi-cache finds before stopping for the night at the Edithburgh Caravan Park. The weather was looking to be rough again tonight and so grabbed the last cabin. The football was in town so accommodation was tight. The best thing was they had free wifi so I could log my finds for the day. (Bradley had my Vodafone dongle in the snow so free wifi was great.)

Total Finds for the day was 78 geocache finds with 9 DNF’s – not a bad days work but well short of where I wanted to be.

Well the 4WD was loaded up with the Roof Top tent and 3:30pm on Friday meant POETS time (piss off early tomorrows Saturday), so grabbed some TOIL and headed north chasing the sunshine towards Port Wakefield.

Even though the sun was shining, there was plenty of wind and some foreboding storm clouds off to the west. Once I cleared the metro area the going was good picking up 6 caches before the sun had set.

At Price, there was a cache that was tide dependant and luckily the tide was out so it was an easy find. I continued heading down the Yorke Peninsula as the rain started to pelt down.

The roads were getting slippery and muddy as I was now venturing out onto the dirt roads to grab some caches. Every now and again I headed back to the coast grabbing caches in Ardrossan before calling it a night at Pine Point.

There was a lot of activity at the local hall – it was their Bushfire Awareness night (no chance of a bushfire in this weather :-)).

I grabbed a on-site caravan at the Pine Point Caravan Park – there was no way I was going to camp out in the weather this night. Once the hall had cleared out I was the only one staying at the caravan park.
