We visit Swan Hill, Mildura, Renmark, Barossa Valley, Victor Harbour, Tailem Bend and the last night at Ballarat. Stopped for few caches on the way. We had a lot of fun travelling these roads and seeing the farms and wildlife along the way. We found a range of caches. Many thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.

Came for the cache, stayed for the maintenance new container and swaps left with the lonely logbook. Out for a drive with the fam. SL
At first I thought the cache name was referring to the tree at the T junction, but no, here’s an even bigger one. Quite a lot of huge trees in this part of the hills, thanks for highlighting this one.
Out for a days caching around the Barossa.
Cleaned out a few areas and only had 3 dnfs.
That's a big tree.

Day 397 ( Tuesday 29th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Sedan today. A total of 4 for the day and 7171 the trip. A grand total of 17,139 caches. TFTC
A quick find while spending a couple of nights in the recreation grounds at Sedan.This cache was found out in the open with the lid on the ground next to it,log wet, signed and placed it under bark and a rock on top.TFTC
What an impressive tree!! Sadly the cache was an easy find as it and could tents were was scattered all around. We tidied it up and dried it the best we could. Log book still damp though. We replaced it in the obvious place and covered it.
Found with Wal and Ol on our way to avoid the drizzle for a bike ride. Thanks for showing us this impressive tree, TFTC!
Out for a drive with Pony1966, from Eden Valley to Sedan. Nice Quick drive by. Great tree indeed! Replaced container.

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.
Staying for the week in Nuriootpa with our friends SnappyTomCats. This week is Streak Week, Day 6, and we are out for the day with our hosts.
Quick find, I saw it from car - it is wet through and needs maintenance We found the log book not in the cache and no lid.
We have seen bigger trees in SW WA, at Oorrooroo in SA, and Wandiligong in Victoria to name a few. Not to say that is not a big tree, just to say we have seen bigger!

Wandering around the countryside today as it's the last day with the rental car. Ended up out this way and as we have cleaned the car we are trying to avoid any dusty roads. This means a very big circle but that also gives us some interesting cache finds. tftc
Yep, that is one BIG tree!!
What a fabulous day out...so fabulous that we stamped 98% of the logs as "Fabulous Randoms" (the others we wrote our names).
We completed 3 OTD series, picked up the tribute series to the US iconic trails (ET Highway & Route 66) and stopped to find a number of other random caches including ones with high fav points or interesting D/Ts. Over 160 finds - it was worth the 5am start (to try and beat the heat).
Thanks so much for the cache chizbeki! [^]

A decision about a day of caching with Goodlook was orgained in the not so distant past to clean up some caches around swan reach and murray bridge.
A successful with no DNF’s and 165 caches finds, completing 3 on this date (OTD) series and some of the fruit loop with a few trads along the way.
Majority if the log books were stamped with FABULOUS RAMDOMS and 5 or 6 we wrote our individual caching names in.

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.
Now visiting in Tanunda, today we set about exploring the area using Geocaching as our guide.
With a late start it was midday before we finally set off. Sun shining 18degrees but alas by the time we made our return it was drizzling for our last few finds.
We were also running out of petrol with the orange light on but we kept going for just 1 more. Lol. All caches were found in good condition making it a very enjoyable day out caching.

Having acquired a nice new shiny caching stamp, Owl was ready to leave it all over the neighbourhood. Finding the cache was straightforward, but it was in very poor condition. There now is now a nice shiny new cache container there, but the log should be replaced sometime as well.
Heading back to Adelaide with Jack, stopped for a few quick finds!
YUP - that sure is big

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I found on a random day meeting Moneydork out near Sedan for a series that went offline sadly before I got to log it (adults behaving badly). Thanks to Hurtle for flagging one of these where he noticed my name in Moneydork's log but that I hadn't logged it -- this enabled me to locate the other non-defunct-series caches we found that day to go into my stats. In an interest to get completely caught up, I am logging my past finds in bulk. I still have work to do after this, as I need to locate my notes from all of my earthcaches, but once those are in, I should be very close to current. I appreciate all the effort you go through to create and place your hides and do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my once pleasant logs. Cheers!
I arranged to meet SEMIK in Cambrai in order to complete the BM series together.
We then travelled back to Adelaide via the Barossa and completed this cache on our way.
I apologise for the generic log.
Thanks for the cache hide chizbeki
