HELLO

Found it!

Very cool spot

Cool spot, thanks for bringing me here

Nice walk quick find TFTC

Travelling Australia in our caravan since February 2014.With magnificent weather forecast we were up making lunch, loading the bikes onto the geocruiser fairly early (for us).We saw a large snake on the mid north channel trail, many kangaroos and bobtails whilst out and about.Crops looking great in this region. We are waiting for harvest to start on York Peninsula, gonna be a while yet. TFTC Dazzatron

Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 30.602 E 138° 36.204

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 30.607 E 138° 36.210

Distance from original: 43.2 feet or 13.2 meters.

Was moved a while ago when fence was replaced but I never got the updated coordinates but now these should work out better.

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. Based in Peterborough, we are exploring some of the surrounding areas. While the boys were peddling along the Mid North Channel, we girls were picking up a few caches of our own TFTC Dazzatron.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. The Geo-men decided on a biking day so they were dropped off while Mrs ILT and I cached around the area. Co-ords out - should be 606 & 210. Thanks Dazzatron

Checked in and cache is all good.

Having read some previous logs, it made the find a lot easier. 13 metres east of GZ tftc

Out for a few day caching around Clare Valley & beyond with Team Waldron - our acronym is TWX2
Lotsa fun had, lotsa trees & ladders climbed & lotsa kms walked
Beaut weekend all round
TFTC Dazzatron

Out for the public holiday cleaning up a few around Spalding TFTC! Coordinates slightly off but makes for a good search.

Nice park, need to remember where it is next time I call through. TFTCSL Dazzatron

Found out on geo weekend with jams group all caches signed as jams

A return visit to Clare was planned for the long weekend with the JAMS crew plus tallbikestan to find a lot of the caches that we didn't get to on our last visit along with the Rattler, Riesling and NE trails as well as the Mid North Channel Country trail. [^]

We had three very full days with perfect weather for caching, lots of bike riding, lots of walking and lots of driving along dirt tracks. We were lucky it had not recently been wet as some of the roads we drove on would not have been passable if wet. Loved the scenery at this time of year with everything looking very green as well as the bright yellow of the canola crops.

A fun weekend of caching, lots of caches found and lots of cool places visited.

Thanks for the cache Dazzatron.

A big long weekend with the JAMS Crew (JJ52, allister w(me), mogni, Sir Spectre and tallbikestan). We road from Riverton to Stanley Flat on day 1. Then more riding near Spalding on day 2. Then finished the weekend with finding caches around the area in the car. TFTC

The JAMS team ( JJ52,Allister w, Mogni, and sir_spectre minus mitchell&hound ) but Tallbikestan was with us instead and we where out for there usually monthly caching adventure. This time it was over the october long weekend instead of the usual day trip. The taget this time was Drop into the Light a long ladder cache on the way to clare and then to clear the Rattler trail, Riesling Trail, Ne Trail saturday on the bikes and then sunday do the Mid North Channel Country bike trail. Monday on the return home was to get Peter's view a 2001 cache. Of course there was many, many other's found on route to the various target for the weekend, somewhere around 260 found by the team. It could have been more but we were not going at a flat out pace, just steady and getting a blow out on the bike 1.6 km's from the end of the Mid North Channel Country bike trail didn't help. I didn't see any snakes this trip but allister did, he saw 5. The caches this trip where written in as JAMS, i forgot the stamps. Also 1 cache was placed by the JAMS team this trip. Out of all the bike tracks i preferred the Rattler /Riesling trail. I like riding through the very rich ( after all the recent rains ) fields of yellow flowers.

Had trouble finding it until I read a log that gave me a hint as wear it was. TFTC

Decided to look for some easily found cachers today after seeing North Clare B grade win over MinMan in first semi final played at Spalding.
Very nice day up to 21°C and some wind.
Found and signed nine logs this afternoon around Spalding area and added some bouncy bowls or dices to some of the finds.
TFTC.

Abit off but found in the end, makes for a hunt

Used to be alive

What a fantastic place to stop and check out the old and new, we can see this area being very popular in the summer under the trees. The cache is in good condition. SL TFTC

Came down to Clare for the JWLE not to play the game but to play the geocaching game. Didn’t have much of a plan so when Courtney Rose and Gridge98 asked me if I wanted to tag along with them to cache around Spalding I said a big YES.
We found some great caches and did a fair bit of walking. Then back to Clare for the juggling flash mob very Carnivale.
After the flash mob I headed out on my own to pick up some caches south of Clare and to do the Carendo adventure lab. On the way stopped for a cleansing ale at Pikes with CoCo Pops.
Arrived back to Clare after dark had my only dnf of the day and then on to collect my curry and back to my super deluxe accommodation for a well earned rest.
Big thanks to all the CO and of course the JLWE Committee for a fun day.
Quick find and sign TFTC Dazzatron

A quick detour off the main road to find this one, cache is all good

Since being in the area for the June Long weekend in Clare today we headed north with Michells&Hound to go for a nice walk in Spalding and find a few caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache

Was baffled for a while before checking previous logged visits. Thanks for the info. Beautiful peaceful area.

Found it TFTC Found in good condition. Yep look about 13mts from GZ

Out exploring. Having a great day.

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Dazzatron [^]

wow GZ was way off and the hint was no help at all but this is finally off the radar now

this took some finding as the co-ords were way out and the clue had us looking in the wrong spots to begin with, eventually we widened the search and found the cache

all the hard work had been done and we were along for the ride and quick smiles

Found on great day for riding on a geo hunt with desertfox 41, 210ks round trip.TNLNSL Thanks.

Cache is about 13 mtrs east of the GZ, had us stumped for a while.

Headed out mon the Dirt Bike with Demon 41 to do some Caching a bit cool Early butt a great day out , travelled about 210 KL TNLN thanks

Very hollow

Trip to the Mid North with the geo-pup. Day 12, Burra to Booborowie, including Spalding detour.

Found in nearby hollow.

TFTC

The end of Day 7 of Bicycle SA Outback Odyssey is Spaulding. Time for some GCs. Great spot I would never have found. TFTC

Hollow out

Tftc! This one took a while to locate however after reading activity log we were able to locate with ease. A change in hint description would be beneficial here

This weekend, jesswrigley and I headed to Melrose for mountain biking the trails with a few non-geocaching friends. We ended up hiking up to Mount Remarkable on Sunday, and on Monday, we returned to home via Booleroo Centre, Jamestown, and Clare. The weekend had some rain drizzle and crisp mornings, but otherwise good weather for fitness.

Today, we had a morning Melrose mountain biking session, before starting to drive back to Adelaide. We had some time to fill, so ended up taking the long route via Booleroo Centre, Hornsdale, and Jamestown, to then arrive at Clare for an afternoon tea/coffee event. It was then an expedited drive via Gawler.

As others had mentioned, there is now a new fence here, and so after a brief look, I deduced that it was missing and was removed along with the old fence. However after finding the nearby geocache and returned back to this location, I decided to expand my search, and eureka, I found the cache about 10 m away in a stump. Hence, my GPS had GZ at S 33° 30.607' E 138° 36.206'. I guess it is no longer at the corner post, so the hint should probably be updated. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Dazzatron for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found

Is the hint still accurate with the new fence

Agree with earlier DNF, fencing is brand new

Found with Tess

New fencing may have effected cache position

no go for me today
fence looks brand new, has it affected the cache?

On our way from Sydney to Adelaide and beyond we had a lot of grandfather caches on our list, which where needed to fill our matrix. Today we are on the way to one of those in Bundaleer forest. Here at the bridge we took a break and found the cache. Thanks for bringing us here and many greetings from Germany.

Since over four week we are now on our tour with a campervan through southeast of Australia. Today minebine and me drived north heading for an old cache in Bundaleer. On our way we made a stop at the olsd and new bridge. It was an easy find.

This was predicted to be another hot day, so we headed out of Peterborough and set our sights on the Clare Valley area, as did ilook4geo. Some caches were picked out for the hunt list and represented the towns and districts that we travelled through. It was a mix of types today, with traditionals, a multi and a virtual.
Each cache had its log signed with two more names and photos were taken for the virtual.
Thank to Dazzatron for this cache, which did have us stumped for a short time.

We decided to look for some easily found cachers today as it was going to be quite hot. Each cache log was signed and was put back as it had been found. Thanks to each CO.

This was a nice quick grab while having a cuppa nearby. TFTC

As our holiday is almost finished now, we are just tiki-touring around the local countryside picking up as many caches as we can. Hot weather is forecast so travelling in the air conditioned car is the preferable way to get around today.

A quick ice-cream in town before coming out to this one. The ice-creams were melting in the freezer it is so hot. Cache found quickly. tftc

Nice place on the Broughton river

Another quick find on the way back from the Airshow. TFTC

Found in exact place.

G ot away for a night so we could do a hike that happened to be in the same park that Jay Wetherall was being carried out of on a stretcher. We saw all the emergency vehicles and had no idea what was going on. Anyway the hike was good, only damage was I dropped the iPad and busted the screen. Found lots of eclipse tins and one medium size cache. We had fun exploring our old stomping ground.
First larger than eclipse container for the trip.

Found in the dark by torch light...froghoppin, CPwanderer & I were making our way home...
The others had previously found this one so I made my way to GZ & located the cache quickly...the car lights shone on the old bridge...it showed it in a different light...

Found during our five week journey half-way around Australia, for the NT Experience OzMega event, somewhere between: ACT -> NSW -> Qld -> NT -> SA -> Vic -> NSW -> ACT.

So many stories to tell. So many experiences had. So little time to mention them all.

A quick find though hard to get out tftc

Hi there Dazzatron.

We found your cache **"Old & New"** at 12:55:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 16102).

Our trek today took us from Gladstone to Spalding and back via the "next closest" route as determined by our GPS. On our trek we found a variety of container types. We ended up finding 15 caches with 1 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**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:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

#6403 - 09:40; Day 6 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune and now albida33 who joined us this morning for the rest of the trip, so most logs were signed S.A.L. as a result. After a second night in Burra, we were now caching our way to Port Augusta via Spalding, Gulnare, Crystal Brook, Port Pirie, Napperby, Weeroona Island and Baroota. After grabbing a couple of caches in Spalding, we headed for s short southern detour to grab this cache and another nearby. TFTC Dazzatron

Alice trip 2017. Day 4. Today was the day I caught up with Sol de Lune and LuckL10n in Burra. We joined forces for the journey to Alice Springs. Today was a short trip to Pt Augusta collecting plenty of caches along the way.

Thanks.

Albida

On the road to the Alice Springs Mega with LuckyL10n and Albida33. We headed through Burra and Port Pirie before arriving in Port Augusta for the trek up the highway. Collected a good number of caches and all were found with no issues and the logs were soon signed. (Some logs were signed as S.A.L. to save space.)

Thanks for the cache and fun in getting to it and finding it.

Easy does it. On way to WA

Having survived another June Long Weekend, it was time to head home. So brisal5 and I traveled back together. Of course we had to find just a few more.
Thanks

The GOTHs (Geocachers Of The Hills) were back together for another JLWE event. This year we were staying at Gladstone for the event at Wirrabara. The of crew of Brisal5, Aussie M&M and mogni were joined by latest member alternika. Plains dweller Goodlook joined us to make a car full. What could possibly go wrong?
Well quite a few things really. There was the usual torn daks, falls, blood and laughs.
But also some great navigation skills from mogni, some at time white knuckle driving by Mr. M, some expert puzzle solving by alternika which meant we got all the bonus caches, including the two finals, and some tireless running/fast walking and quick finds from the rest. We came a creditable 4th.
Unfortunately the weekend came to an end and it was time to head home. Now it was just Mogni and I making our way south, caching as we went.
Yes it is a nice spot to stop and stretch your legs. Your arms too when the cache drops down!
But we managed a retrieve and signed the log. Thanks for the hide Dazzatron.

Needed an extra long arm to get to the bottom of this blighter. Thanks very much.

Easy and great for trading

Long weekend end camping trip to one of my favorite spots in SA the Flinders Ranges, and whats a great way to break up the drive. That's right geocaching.

Decided to leave home nice an early so I could take my time and tick off some caches

I would normally just keep driving here Ive never noticed this old bridge...

Thanks for the cache Dazzatron

Found it

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. Glad she had the necessary tool. Left a mouse. Not much water around today, but a lovely spot. TFTC

If I had longer appendages this would have been an easy cache to retrieve. Had to resort to using 'caching tools' to reach, but eventually had the container in hand
