A quick find with accurate coordinates, TFTC

Time for another Tremendous Tuesday Trek, so went and picked up the Rat from her nest and then headed for the Starfish's pond. Then we set off towards CPwanderland in the Starfish's new geovehicle with the main aim being the Woodlands Mail series. After that was completed it was into Murray Bridge to rectify a recent DNF and then lunch. Then it was north to Mypolonga and the surrounding area where there were quite a few we all wanted. There was one cache I'm going to remember for a long time, for the right reasons, and by the time were made it back to the Starfish's pool we all had a very satisfying number of new smilies. A great day.A quick find by one of the other two while I was looking elsewhere. The Starfish had already found this one which may have helped with the quick find. Replaced as found after adding two more stamps to the log.Thanks to The Friendly Frog for adding to the playing field with this cache.Smilie #15275.*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

A quick find, stamp and return here this morning

We found it, the nav is a bit off, look for “rock”

Out for a drive while the weather is nice. TFTC

I will have to come back for a walk

Today gridge98 and I headed to Murray Bridge. A lovely day out, excellent weather and two lovely walks.

The amount of water nearby is still insane. But the cache was able to be found with trouble and is all good

Today Courtneyrose_ and I headed to Murray bridge for the afternoon to complete a few walking caches and a few unfound around Murray bridge before diverting through the hills to find a few new caches on the way home, total of 49 for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Tftf think this cache just had a swin recently.

Found on our travels down south, heading to Millicent today. Dropped past here a couple weeks ago but the cache was completely underwater. A quick find today as the water has receded at least 5m. Cache was full to the brim with water, let out as much as we could. Cheers.

Find #5086 on 30 Jan 2023.
TFTC Freddo!

Quick stop so the mozzies could have a snack! TFTC

My first find on my long weekend getaway with some of my muggle friends .
If the weekend is going to be like today, sunshine with little breeze, I’m planning on finding many more caches ️

After signing the log I sat on a nearby seat and listened to seagulls on the island and the friendly frogs in the water.

Keep smiling

Back in the area to pick up a child from Pedal Prix, so just stopped here to do a quick drive by, no one about so early on a Sunday morning, pitty cos they missed out on the great Bird Song. TFTC

Quick find late at night as i forgot to cache earlier in the day. Knew Fred very well so thought this was a much needed cache to find. TFTC the friendly frog.

10804 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1355.Out finding some AL and this came up on the GPS'r. It is great that local folk try to enhance the local features. SL Tnx Freddo.

Tftc . Nice easy find on our early morning bike ride.

After traipsing around Western Queensland for 4 1/2 weeks then having to head to Northern Territory then SA to try and get back home that way due to border closures.
After escaping from NT to SA I was spending a few days in SA before heading back to lockdown in Victoria.
Staying at Quorn for a couple of nights and after ditching the van in the caravan park it was time to try and find all of the caches around here and also the ones on the way back to Stirling North.
A lot easier to pull over with out a van.
Forget to log these last few caches when I got home so here I go.

Thanks The Friendly Frog TFTC.

Found

While visiting our friend in Murray Bridge, I did some caching. Parked nearby for an easy find.
Thanks The Friendly Frog

We are so appreciative of both you Frog and Fred. We would not have even seen this place had it not been for this cache. I hope Fred is remembered in this community for ever the work he and his committee have done.

Really easy find!!

Found and signed log

Today was a bit of an expedition driving around the Adelaide Hills and beyond, to then around Murray Bridge, and few places in between. It began driving through Woodside on to Tungkillo to collect a few geocaches there, and then on to the river past Mannum and Mypolonga for a few scattered caches. It was then on to meet Michells&hound for her target D/T cache, and then back towards Murray Bridge to repair a few caches and find the northern area caches. Finally, I made a stop at Mount Barker on the return back to Adelaide. The day was rather nice; a little brisk and a few showers with only during the middle of the day it fell a little more harder.

A quick find at these coordinates. It made me think and was surprised to see no cache hidden on Fred’s island? However I then saw signs banning swimming, boats and associated vehicles in this lake, so I guess we wouldn't be able to then access it. Thanks [@Freddo](http://coord.info/PR8C14).

Hi there Freddo.

We found your cache **"Fred's Island"** today and this brings our total find count to 21935

We spent the day caching around Murray Bridge & ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey. Today we found 12 caches (& DNF'd 1). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wandering around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Had just finished working nearby and was heading back to Adelaide. Decided to stop and make the find while having lunch. Followed an RV into the nearby parking bay and got a hit worried but never saw them as I wandered over to GZ and quickly located the cache. Extracted log signed and replaced.
Interesting information.
Gratias pro cache The Friendly Frog
