Couldn't find this one today, although we found a rather suspicious looking rock. Sadly there was nothing under it.

We even did a PAF to no avail Sad

DNF 21 July 2017
 
21-Jul-17
DNF, but could see where we think it should have been. PAF confirmed what we thought as well.
 
15-Jul-17
After a nearby event we called up to this little town to get a few of our unfounds off the list. No luck for us on this freezing cold morning. we searched all possible places but still nothing. This does not mean it is not there, just that it was no success for us.
 
08-Jul-16
Headed out this way today to clear up some of the unfounds, was a great day to be riding the bikes to the caches that were of the track, weather was pleasant to us and we managed around 25 finds all up. TFTC
 
20-Jun-16
Brrr cool morning tftc
 
14-Jun-16
So I managed a day off and headed to the Barossa for some caching, the sun was shining at it was surprisingly warm for a winters day.

This was my last cache for the day, I called into Stockwell as I was running low on petrol but I couldnt find a station, therefore it was back to nuri - after this one last cache of course Wink TFTC

Headed over to SA with Sorceysal, who happened to be free to give me some company, on a planned trip to do the fish series, amongst others, and grab a few more caches in this cache-rich state. It was now day 2 for us, and this was a part of a planned long day grabbing some decent caches. My thanks to chrispy89 for the cache, SS had it in hand in no time
 
05-Apr-15
Day two of our epic road trip with the Bogonghazys as we get nearer to our goal of the geoart fish series. A great day with lots of finds and laughs along the way. This is certainly a cache rich state and my many thanks for the Cachers of South Oz for all the effort you have put in placing these caches for us to find.

Thanks for the cache chrispy89

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Camped at Greenock we were planning a leisurely few days before moving on. After the last 2 days and only a handful of smilies we decided to make a more concerted effort to grab some finds today. Wink

It was sooooo cold today the car said it never got above 9degrees! Twisted Can assure you it felt a darn sight colder when we had some hard to find caches and were out in it for more than we anticipated. Red Face

Some lovely views again today and other than 1 cache all with co-ords that were very accurate.

TFTC and helping us keep our streak alive.Big Grin and maybe we will meet you at the event on Sunday.

We found your cache today chrispy89, we were travelling from Berri to Nuriootpa on another leg of our South Australian adventure. The weather was perfect for caching and we saw some wonderful countryside along the way. Thanks for the hunt.

South Australian OZ Mega 2014 in Murray Bridge. A Twelve day trip to and from the mega. Plenty of caching along the way and near Murray bridge. A great time with lots of cachers all over the place to make for a very entertaining period.

I joined up with Sol de Lune for the lead up to the Mega and the mega itself. This was the second day exploring the Barossa, with Nurioopta the center of activities. Thanks.

A couple of days out from the SA Mega and Albida and I were on a run around the area grabbing a few caches. No real problems with any of them and the ones we attempted were in good shape. I think we will need another week to make any sort of dent in the numbers around here though......

Thanks for this one......

Please excuse generic logs. This was one of our caches while on a weekend in the Barossa Valley. We wish to thank all the cache owners for the way in which these caches are maintained. It is a pleasure to come to the Barossa at any time because of the many attractions it offers, not the least is the number of caches in this area. We will put in separate notes for logs that may need maintenance etc. Co-ords in the majority were very accurate. Thanks so much again. It is a wonderful caching area and we will be back. Keep up the good work all the CO's.

Moneydork, Mrs Flipper and I came up to the Barossa area to attend a gc pub lunch and found many caches afterward. This was one of many -- the silos really are big in SA, but I reckon grain is big business. Thanks Chrispy!

Headed out to A Pub Lunch In The Barossa with firesafe and Honeysucker.
All up, I managed to score 44 smileys Smile and only 2 DNFs except we managed to locus cache both of those on our return visits to GZ Cool
What a fun day, great food, great people (as always) and lots of caches plus some very slippery mud, too Wink

Pulled up and got told 'this is a chrispy cache.'
Oh no, I thought! but at least this wasn't a bloody nano cache in the bush Wink

This cache was found on Day Two of our Four Day Adelaide Caching Tour, with TriBre, Fairybum, Mastamak, KidzJCT and Running as Teams BosNewellgus and Gummy Dales. Team Gummy Dales joined us late last night, and with all teams in attendance we headed out to the Barossa Valley Area.

Today the attack would be on the Fruit Loop, Five Oh and a whole lot of caches in between! I know we drove through the Barossa and we elected to stop for lunch at one of the wine estates but by the time we can to think about lunch it was way passed 2pm and we had run out of wine estates to stop in on! We did eventually make a stop in Mount Pleasant for Dinner at a great Little Pub, and it was Poker night! We did not stay as there was still smiley's to be found....

With the large volume of finds I have written a generic log. I would like to thank the CO's for creating a Great time out and I can assure you fun was had by all. I believe we will be planning another trip to SA....

This was the 59th find of 188 finds for the day in SA, with 1 DNF's by this time of the day.

Found with TriBre, Mastamak, KidzJCT, FairyBum and Gummy Dales while in Adelaide on a four day geocaching excursion from Brisbane.

Thank you to all cache owners on a fantastic bunch of geocaches.


 
25-Apr-13
Found with TriBre and our team BosNewellgus, KidzJCT, Fairy Bum and their team Gummy Dales.

We were down from Brisbane for 4 days of geocaching. TriBre and I flew in yesterday morning and got a good head start on the cache finds. KidzJCT and Fairy Bum flew in late last night. It was up early this morning to continue the smiley hunt.

Today we headed up towards the Barossa and ended up completing power trails Five Oh and Fruit Loop and a heap of individual caches.

We had a heap of fun today driving through this area. Great scenery and a chance to check out a lot of small towns My only regret is that we didn’t spend more time here and we didn’t visit one of the many wineries we passed by. We did have a fantastic pub dinner in a small town I didn’t even know the name of.

I hope everyone in SA realise how good they have it here geocaching wise. A geocache almost everywhere you turn. We had a fantastic time while here and no doubt will be back again sometime. A big thank you to all cache owners whose caches we found.

Due to the volume of caches found I have only written a generic log. This should in no way detract from the fun we had in finding each and every cache.
