Another cache steeped in history, and a brilliant place to stop and discover a cache, while a farmer was feeding out in the adjacent paddock - it is dry and bare here for sheep at the moment. They were super keen on that tractor full of hay! Another straight forward find, the cache was located quickly and easily. All good at GZ. Log signed, ninja left to guard things, and replaced as found. Thanks for bringing us here, cabbos!

After over seven weeks on the road, I'm back home and finally catching up on all my logging.Caching in South Australia was fantastic, so many good hides to find, and we found ourselves zigzagging all over the place doing lots of geoart but of course ran out of time to get everything done on our to-do list.The majority of caches we found were in great condition and well maintained, which is a credit to all the CO's who placed them, so thank you.Our logs were mostly signed as 6 for QLD to save room on the log sheets, and no doubt, we'll be back again in the future.

All the Geocaches are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S20+, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck!

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on Big Grin


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting Cool

This weekend, I headed to the Limestone Coast / south-east for cave diving, but also to find a few geocaches when time allowed. It was only a quick weekend travelling to Mt Gambier via Bordertown on Friday, and returning Sunday via Millicent and Kingston. I was able to fit in a visit south to Port MacDonnell on Saturday, and a few other small detours around Mt Gambier.

Today, I returned back towards Adelaide, detouring through Glencoe, Mount Burr, Millicent, Furner, Kingston, but then back tracking towards Keith due to a grass fire cutting off the Coorong Road.

I remember seeing this multi-cache on my may for some time, and was intrigued to see the inn here. I actually thought the old building ruins were really interesting and cool. I actually spent ages here trying to find this cache without any hint. Initially, I was fixated on staying behind the fence on the outside of the property, and also trying to find a cache type that the CO seems to like to hide. I then realised that I was able to go in, and follow the coordinates. When I was just about to give up, I spotted the sneakily hidden container (and the size was correct). The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks cabbos for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. A hint would definitely have been helpful, or otherwise perhaps the difficulty rating should be increased?

I had come down to Millicent for the long weekend and today it was organised to come caching with gridge98 and it turned into a big day with 74 caches found. [^] We started in Millicent headed towards Rendelsham, Southend and Beachport where we grabbed some lunch before making our way to Furner. Big Grin Had a fun day finding lots of different caches with a few high terrain ones which is always a bonus for me. Red Face
We had to wait for the muggles to leave but we had already sussed out the hide so it was a quick find after they left. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache cabbos. Smile
 
02-Oct-20
It was like a stand off here, we thought some people were geocachers till JJ52 asked them but they were muggles
JJ52 found the cache and it’s all good

Today JJ52 and I set out from Millicent together to find all the caches around south end and beachport, we thought it would take all day but we were done by lunch time so we headed over to kangaroo inn to find all the caches in the area before attending my event back in town. Almost 80 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Back down to Mount Gambier with Mogni. She wanted to do mainteneance on some of her caches. We took the inland road down there and stopped at every cache i hadn't found and cleaned up some of the newly published caches for her. We even got a unexpected joint ftf on the way.

Reset with new log book. A lovely day out with hevwalker and my grandies; the kids were so excited to go caching and had some great ideas where caches could be found and placed when we were finding places for new caches for the GeoVenture2020 at Easter in Millicent along the way between finds. TFTC.

Cheers.! cabbos

The seas were not conducive to fishing, so we needed something to do. A country caching trip from Southend to Millicent (for petrol), Kangaroo Inn, Robe (for lunch) and then back to Southend via Beachport was planned targeting a couple of caches for Fizzy Grids and some Jasmer grid gaps also. We finished with 5 finds, 1 DNF, lots of kms and some great photos.

Great historic site and we had fun exploring the ruins. Unfortunately we couldn’t find the cache and so are logging a DNF. We sent a message to the CO with a couple of photos that confirmed we were looking in the right spot, but the cache has been muggled.
Still a great spot for a visit.

We actually stopped off to just look at the ruins before checking to see if there was a cache here. Interesting bit of history. TFTC

Our last day in SA for this trip, we followed a course set by Suscoe, to catch up with as many jointly unfound caches as possible, before retreating back east across the border tomorrow.

After an extensive search and double checking all the possibilities, we contacted the CO and exchanged directions, then photos which confirmed the cache had gone. Very generously the CO suggested we put a temporary container in place until they can replace the cache.
Thank you very much cabbos.

Thanks 'cabbos' for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Suscoe and Phetlern headed out early today to the crunch of frost everywhere we looked.
A sunny day followed and we enjoyed the wandering around the north west of Millicent.
Some controlled burns further to the north east later in the morning provided a brown cloud streaming to the west and occasionally dropping ash on us as we crossed the farmlands.
This was our last day of caching in this area before heading homewards.
Thanks to the cabbos for this hide, we arrived and did quite a few laps checking out this and that.
We contacted the CO after sometime and found out the the cache had gone missing in action.
So with permission we have left a replacement container and temporary log. Thanks for that!!
What a delightful old Inn.

Found it not in a sistema but in a mint tin, only one person had signs before me so must have been replaced today

Day Two of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I headed towards Robe from Hamilton.
Got up late-ish and slowly made our way across to SA, caching as we found them on our trail.
What great ruins! A pile of very small rooms made up this building. We spent some time nipping in and out of them.
Quite a checkered history to the usage of the building too.
Good to see it still standing after so long.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11561. Day 2 of our holiday and today Robmc and I head from Hamilton, over the border and on to Robe for a few days. Naturally we stopped to find a few caches along the way.

I do love South Australian ruins (I would prefer they weren't ruins of course)! Love the stone work. At least this historic site is still here and accessible. Found the cache whilst Rob was wandering. Thanks for highlighting this old inn.

Thanks cabbos
