Thanks Hurtle for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10658 on 2/11/2024 at 8:27AMA plan was hatched to ride along the Riesling Trail and collect a few caches. A delightful day in the company of Cheezel and Jolly riding along and signing logs. This is a special place, very enjoyable. We also collected some others that were nearby or along the way.

A quick drive by with OZGrumpy TFTC

Caching out again for the dayTFTH

Good easy grab along the highway

Found easily from the right angle and I love these old buildings. I would really enjoy the project of a restoration. Just not the expenses

Without thd cache I would not have spotted this one. TFTC hurtle, good reason to stop and think of the state's pioneers. Cheers.

Heading off to help a friend with a days work and realised we should grab a cache for a souvenir today.Quickly found and signed this one at 7.50am.Now off to work we goMany thanks for the hide Hurtle

Clare and Gilbert Valley caravan trip. Day 1 - to Farrell Flat.We were planning on driving straight through to Farrell Flat, but the urge to have a roadside pitstop took over just outside Tarlee. We checked the map after we stopped and saw there was a cache 80m behind us. What an omen!We wandered back to grab the cache and noticed many bottles and cans on the side of the road. Doing a return CITO on the other side of the road, we found 30 bottles and cans in the 160m trip!TFTC

TFTC!

The last of our target caches and LGAs before caching in and around Adelaide before the Mega.

Quick find while in the area. Great little hide...TNLNSLTFTCTTFNBeaker

Nice view and an easy find

Not much left of the stump.TFTC

Decided to do some caching from Tarlee to Gawler which included a couple of adventure labs. TFTCFound quickly.

Continuing my South Australian adventure. Today, I headed north with a particular cache in mind. I was headed back to my accommodation and stopped off to find a few caches along the way. Here, a quick find was made. With my name added to the log and everything returned as found, I continued on my way. TFTC

Enjoyed pondering the past. Tftc

Easy find, as unfortunately the cache was exposed - I placed camouflage over it when returning cache, so not so easy to spot.Nice ruins, it would be interesting to know the history of it.

Another find on our way up to Burra for a short break. Nice old ruin, this was the first of many, many ruins on this trip!TFTC Hurtle

This one was a little harder to find as there were so many places to hide a cache. We were also wary of snakes. It was another case of trusting the GPS and narrowing down GZ. Soon enough naughtybunny and I had the thing in our hands. Love the numerous old ruins as we headed out to Burra! TNLN. Cheers.

Out with frazzle rock and we found it. The sun was shining the paddocks green!

It seems the hide has been destroyed, by searchers? On side of the highway, in that spot, hard to believe it the work of muggles... lol
Cache replaced using the remnants of the stump for cammo.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Found the holey tree stump but no cache. Possibly mugged some time ago.

Thought we’d see how we went but no luck for us today

Came and saw but left empty handed. Found a spot that matches the hint, but is badly rotted away. Thanks anyway.

Sadly another dnf today

Had a good look found the stump but was empty

Had a good look, found a suitable spot, but no container

Out caching with D@geo looking around S.A
Thank you anyway for the hide, just not today Hurtle

Good hidey spot. Cheers

I wonder who lived there and what their stories were.

TFTC

Great hide

Thanks Hurtle for the cache

Found it and left our signature rock 8/8/21 ️

As a kid, when we came through Linwood Bridge it meant we were nearly home .
Happy childhood memories.

After a big walk yesterday (27kms), today we decided to go for a bit of a drive around rather than a walk!

Keep smiling

Found on April 18 coming back with Maxryl after a run at Clare. TFTC!

Quick find with Maxyl on our way back home from a run at Clare on April 18. Will need to get out this way more for further finds! We actually found 2 caches at this spot - one seems to be quite an old squashed minty tin with a log inside no lid. The newer caches seems to have lost it's magnet. I signed both logs and places them back near where the newer one was found. TFTC!

Found Heinz the frog

Day 5 of our holidays was an early start for the ability to cache all day. We uncovered some geo art, went on very interesting dirt roads, found out some local history and had lunch at one of Mrs IML72's favourite pubs the Gungellan Hotel from her favourite TV series. TFTC

Great find, TFTC

We love old ruins. Nice find in our day trip to Burra

Nice easy one for the kids! Beautiful scenery.

Last cache of the day. These folk were right on the river, you’d think that would have been prime real estate. Thanks for getting me to stop here. Cache all good.

There really are a lot of these abandoned homes in SA. They all look really square and solid. I want to try and renovate all of them. TFTC

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.

Thanks to Hurtle for placing the cache for us to find.

Moving towards Balaklava but opted to stay overnight in Hamley Bridge.Dropped off the house then headed out to find a few nearby caches.

TFTC

The hint is perfect. So it was easy to find. Thanks to the Owner for hiding.

Lost? Not today. TFTC

My first for this series, after hearing about them at the event in Adelaide yesterday. I saw so many more examples of these derelict structures throughout the day today as I travelled from Adelaide to Cockburn on the border. Tftc.

Found it in the way to netball

Found.

Plenty of traffic around! TFTC

Heading home to Adelaide with the van on so just stopping for a few caches near the highway. Been a while since anyone lived here but still quite a bit of rubbish strewn around, TFTC!

TFTC. SL. Not a busy day on the highway today so was able to stop an find a log with a hollow in it.

First find for the day! Today was our first day of a long weekend planned for the Flinders Ranges with a group of friendly Geocachers: davidwazza, gridge98, and *the Godfather* (aka Freddo). A long day of driving with detours and many geocaches planned.

We felt that this cache could use the abandoned building attribute, but otherwise was in good shape. We found this cache quickly, and more importantly team Davidwazza/jesswrigley converted the find before the Godfather

Quick find on a trip to the flinders

Found with my Nanna on a day trip to Clare.
Logging now I have my own account.

Quick find whilst on my way to Clare for a lunch Event
