Glorious Autumn weather had us boiling the billy in the beautiful Colin Thiele gardens in Eudunda for morning tea and cooking a delicious BBQ at Burra Gorge in the Worlds End Conservation Park for our lunch.During our travels we saw kangas, emus and several goats and thoroughly enjoyed the scenery in the Hallelujah Hills and along the ridge tops.Many thanks for the hide mabar

Cool

So we had to take Bella home and if you are going to drive 3 hours north you might as well turn it into a caching adventure. We were in the 4WD so I got to choose some interesting tracks for Wayne to play on. Any caches that needed some attention got it.Thanks to mabar from mogni .

Nice views from gz. Driving the back roads. Quick find.Found with Mogni. This was a very,very last minute trip.I found out that i had to be in the " clare region " the next day by lunch the next day on muggle business. After that business was over i headed up to jamestown to get a 2001 cache via any adventure labs or caches i haven't found before staying in a B& B in Penworthm. Now it was time to start heading home via dirt roads to Burra for the new Adventure lab and then down every dirt road/track with caches on it and the odd track that needed the hubs locked on the ute. If the cache was broken/eaten/smashed it was replaced with a new container and if the log sheet was wet it was replaced and if the log was full or almost full extra log sheets were added to the cache.

Headed down to the Towitta - Sedan area for a couple days caching. Day 2 started doing the Fruit Loop series, until continualness heavy rain come down. Slowly headed back along Murraylands Road to nearly Morgan before it stopped raining. There were many section of the road under water. All caches were in good condition unless mention in log. TFTCFound fairly quickly.

No karma today for me which I was happy about, cache found here and is all good

Today after my own two events in the city I decided to head away for a night of camping, caching along the way mainly focusing on caches yet to be found around the Goyder LGA, by the days end I found myself camped up in Caroona Creek Comservation Park. A great day out enjoying the SA country side and found around 60 caches

Thanks for the cache

very cute prizes, was kinda easy

I found it with my bf

Team effort by ham and charz

Lovely rocky spot. Wildflowers out along with local lizards on this sunny day. Steep. Rough for 2WD

Got the cache we deserved !
Worth the drive - Karma Caching
Description is true... not a good road in the wet. Kind of slid around a bit on the way out!
Found with Sebastbat and Jack.
Thank you mabar for placing this cache

A great spot to enjoy the view out over the plains
A fun drive to get there too !
Thanks for the detour

Found with SupaTurtle and Csaba! Support for the E2E11 Heysen Crew. Tra La Laaa

Found with SupaOrange and Csaba! Support for the E2E11 Heysen Crew. Turtle Out

Heysen Trail E2E11 support. Caching with SupaOrange and SupaTurtle. Thanks

Yet another Puzzled Puzzler's Tuesday caching adventure. Oh dear..we are a little light on for crew today. Just me and Mrs. SA Sewer rats. Never mind..we have a plan to find some unloved caches and get Rat qualified for an unloved challenge we want to do later in year. [8)]
The target caches were all up above Robertstown, so of course we took the long way, detouring to some unfound caches along a circuitous route. Before we knew it we were having a late lunch in Robertstown before we finally set about looking for these unloved caches. [8)]
A very quick find for us after a long protracted DNF at the last one.

**Thanks mabar for this cache. **

Brisal5 and Mrs SA Sewer Rat set on a lovely sunny day of caching.
WE had to targets for the day.
One was to get Mrs Rat to Qualify for Unloved cache Challenge in Victoria.
The second was to get her to the 28 caches to get her last Hidden Creature.
By end of the day Mrs rat was 4 short for Hidden Creature, and qualified for the VIC challenge.
A quick find for us today.
We took a minion for the Crazy Geo Driver, and dropped a little something back in the cache. tftc

Heading north from home today to convert some unfounds to founds and explore some backroads. What stunning views from here! Cache and contents were in good order, we left a couple of our pathtags for good 'Karma' ....TFTC

After a business appointment, we enjoyed travelling the mid north and finding a few smilies
TFTC

. TFTC

tftc what an awesome spot!!!!!! Just as well we have A geo4x4 to get us into some of these tricky places

Found It!
Nice little drive up here with the Kelly Gang. Quick find to - Mr Kelly Gang even remembered what the cache was from when he found it years ago...
TFTC

found it.
TFTC

Found this one with my Bestie on a lil Northern Getaway, looking for older placed cache......
Found on the otherside of the road to where I started looking! Doh!! Karma? lol
Karma is an interesting concept, that always seems to reflect accurately in hindsight, and that is when you would think people would learn and not repeat, and use foresight next time... Anyways, what goes around comes around as they say... And we are on a wonderful cycle of giving and receiving for the rest of our days...
There is a lot of quality swag in here, well done...
TNLNSL
Thanks

Easily found this cache on a great back track.
Tftc.

Love it!! TFTC

I must have done someone wrong, 'cause I got my Karma alright. I learnt a valuable lesson, don't take an on road caravan off road, 'cause you could break a spring.

The main thing is that I found the cache, thanks mabar.

Attempted this one from the eastern side in the 4WD Falcon...and probably shouldn't have. It had been raining a little and the road was quite slippery. Some deep ruts in the road at the start, but careful driving avoided them. Lost traction halfway up which required a second attempt but finally reached the summit. There was another tricky bit on the Western approach, with a small creek croossing. Worried that the 4WD (2WD!!) Falcon would get bogged, but was able to get over this with a run up and some careful steering... Awesome adventure!!!!!

TFTC. Found with TheEliFinder.

Worried the 2WD wouldn't make it. Geodad assured that the 4WD Falcon would make it...

Found with TheSneakyOne earlier this month, but forgot to log. TFTC

Chrispy89 was holding the Pub Lunch In the Sticks, so firesafe, Homeysuckers, Burton's, SA Sewer Rats and I were out for the day
Burton's and SA Sewer Rats left us at Clare at about 10pm on the way home while the rest of our group continued caching until about 3am, just because we could
All up, I locus cache'd 69 caches with a smiley result and 2 with DNF's and attended a great event too

We must have had good Karma today: we found the cache and gained a smiley
Enjoyed the views, too

TNLN. SL. TFTC mabar

On a Big day out with Firesafe and Locus meeting up wit the Burtons sewer rats and oothers at an event in the sticks.

This was a big day starting at 7:00 am and going through to 4:30 am on Sunday morning. A group of us headed north for the Pub Lunch in the Sticks, caching our way up and back with 65 finds for the day.

Quick find and sign. TFTC.

A great little 4x4 drive up the hill from the Eastern side. Awesome view.

Found whilst out on a great day trip to Burra with CPWanderer.

Road was rough... found the cache... road got rougher. Not good Karma for a low slung I30.... the Ms need to go on a diet. TFTC.

Not the best road for an i30 with low profile tyres!!! But we got there ..... and got the prize. Thanks mabar for the hide!!

will replace container asap...thanks

#8 found byDavid thanks for the St Christopher will remember Karma. Left lucky Chinese coins TFTC great spot!

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Quick find contaner full of water so did a clean up put new contaner inside old contaner should keep thing dry. TFTC mabar

Thanks for the cache

Lovely views from this back road. Thanks Mabar for taking us through here on our Wallaroo- Burra trip.
Cheers from the Posspeet Boys

Road up to cache very rockey and great big divets in it. Found no worries and the road down wasn't so bad.

Thanks for the find

A nice drive up the track to GZ. Its been a while since this one was last found and we've had alot of rain over that period. Cache ok, moisture getting inside though. SL TNLN TFTC

Budda would be proud of the inspiration needed to achieve at this level.tftc

Cache contents very wet,dried out as much as possible tftc sl

found at 1233 one of 36 for the day! tftc

This was quite a scenic drive to this one culminating in a nice easy find of a very large cache. We had no charms with us today so made no swaps
Thanks mabar for the cache

Found on a lovely day for caching. A bit rougher on the east side again after Stickers, but still OK. Thanks to mabar.

What a beautiful spot. Very heavy rain spoiled the view in the distance but made for it's own beauty. Kids stayed in the car for this one while the parents did the cache stuff. Gorgeous spot for a quick kiss and hug in the rain before back to the 5 trapped in the car.TFTC Track in from the west and out to the east a bit slippery in the wet.

An interesting container, the contests and log were a bit wet thou.Took lucky bracelet.

The start of a nice drive through the hills. Nice views from here.
TFTC

Quick find and nice track to drive on. TFTC

Another wonderful location up on the range. Despite the cache note warning about the road if it is wet gave it a go anyway despite the recent heavy rain. A bit soft and sticky in places but the 2WD Geo-Rodeo hauled to the top without trouble. Third one for the afternoon on the way "home" from work.

TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1705. The country looks wonderful. Even wattle growing exactly beside the cache. Wonderful views too. Considering the cache has been here for more than 2 years, there are still wonderful swaps left. Cachers must be aware of Karma. Our thanks as usual to mabar.

Walked up the hill for the excersize only to find no pencil in the cache, D'OH!!, but a great walk and spectacular veiw... returned to the vehicle, locked the hubs (very slippery when wet!!) and drove up to sign the log and leave a pencil for future visitors
Great spot
Cheers

Coongie 09 Trip.6. A slippery track on a damp afternoon. Great views of the plains below. Thanks.

On the way to another cache with Freddo, when we decided to divert and collect this one. Discovered that if we continued on to the next cache from here, we'd end up saving about 5km from our original route. Now that's good karma . Nice solid container, though somehow a some moisture has got in there.

TNLN - Thanks Mabar!

Wow - glad I have 4wd with me... Lovely view from GZ. No swap. SL. Thanks Mabar for organising the cache and hunt.

Another lumpy drive brought us right up to this cache. This one was (funnily enough) more taxing on the Ford than Rock Fishing had been earlier! TFTC.

We pulled up near gz and a car pulled up behind us. Turns out it was the farmer from the nearby property who wandered why people used this track and stopped at this location. We explained geocaching to him and he was interested enough to follow us to the next. We enjoyed the views from the cache. Thanks mabar

Nice drive by
No Swaps
Thanks

#24 of 51 for our lower north attack day.
Even though I've been writing notes I don't even remember what this one was. Doh. Wasn't a good place to take a low 2wd though.
Took keyring
Left green squish ball

No mucking around today got more to do.

22nd of 33 for the day while driving to Worlds End. Thanks mabar for getting me off the main drag.

Team Ransid found this one with three friends.
Took: frog
Left:keyring
TFTC.

Nice Karma … nice cache too [^]. Although the esky is doing a less than sterling job of keeping the moisture out, but the contents aren’t too bad in their individual bags. Had nothing suitable to swap, so I didn’t . Nice views. Thanks for bringing me here Mabar. Cheers

An inovative container but the cache smelt a bit mouldy, due to such a good seal i suppose. TNLNSL TFTC

Out with Klems Mob at Easter. TNLN

We like the themed caches. Left a Sun phone charm and a klem bear and took one of the buddahs. Thanks mabar.

Found easily on this quiet out of the way spot. No real idea where I was as I wasn't driving or following a map, just the GPS.
This cache needs a good air out, as it has quiet a mouldy smell and look to it.
TN L Jesus Loves Ewe bookmark.

Great view [^]!
Took dolphin and unicorn.
Left white tiger and dinosaur.
SL.
Thanks mabar.

Another find in our pursuit of 1000 caches by the end of the year. Thanks matmob for putting out so many caches to help us on our way.

Didn't leave anything here... couldn't risk getting bad Karma. Another great spot for a cache.

Lots of great things to sooth the savage cacher. TFTC

Nice area.
Yay, lots of Budhas.
TNLN

Not sure about all the buddhas. Do they reproduce while no-one is looking? Left a silver charm took buddha key ring.

Is a dolphin good karma? We hope so. Lifted the TB, signed log and continued on our way. TFTC, Cheers, Rav 4 Raiders

Found this one fairly easily, once we got there! Swapped fairies and a good luck coin for an elephant and a st christopher. TFTC Left ride em cowboy TB as we couldn't get near a horse cache but though it should have good luck.

Oops forgot to "Leave" the travel bug....

Great views from here, having a great time driving these roads!TNLNSL

More pleasant driving and views this Staurday arvo. Not sure about the Karma though ... this was the last of six finds for the day - followed by missed turn offs, a DNF and grumbly tummies demanding return for a footy pie. I promise we swapped fairly!!!! Took wishing stones. Left canned lavender candle. Thanks again mabar

Began our search on the wrong side of the track , but fortunately Mr C had his eyes open for this one, otherwise he might of missed it . TNLN TFTC

Since I was in the area, you can always use more good luck I believe
- a Buddah + measure
Cheers, TFTC.

The cache was still a bit damp inside but fortunately most of the contents are bagged up, unfortunately it was too late in the day and not enough time to lay it all out for a sunbake - TFTC

11 of 21 found with 1 DNF for the day

We seem to be dashing between these gaps its great fun.

#19 of 32
A quick find, lots of good luck items inside.
I must have had luck on my side today with 32 finds
TNLN
Thanks mabar

The cache was damp and could do with a bit out airing out. Still have that boy george song in my head. TFTC

If I thought rocks were worth any money, I'd buy some land out here. The farmer nearby has an impressive crop. Unfortunately, I don't think they're the ones with the gold in them.

Enjoyed the landscape around this cache.

Thanks mabar.
