One of twelve Animal Facts logged today. This series is represented all over the state it seems; this particular cluster Ive had a previous go at, and although it wasnt raining at the time, everything was very soggy underfoot. No such problems this time with the hills being very dry right now. All the caches were pretty easy to find, and theres some fun theming in there too. Second finder today! Thanks for this cache and the series LB.Ive spent some time pulling ticks out of hikers in my NSW Emergency Department days.

Quick find and still loving this trail TFTC

Great geochaching day in the forest with marvin277 and the geokids. Lots of animal facts and a great adventure. Tftc

Had a wonderful adventure today with squeak11 and our geokids. We found a total of 17 caches in the Animal Facts Series and learnt some interesting animal facts.TFTC

Fun trail to do with the kids. TFTC!

Out caching around Kuitpo forest and Prospect hill today. An enjoyable ride around to pick up the Animal Facts caches on this side of the forest. Some took a bit longer to spot than others, but found them all in the end. Only a couple had wet logbooks, otherwise all were in good knick.

While staying at Yundi we decided to pick up some of the Animal Fact Series and as it was a fine, cool morning we headed off for a pleasant walk. Thanks for bringing us here LiB tftc

Cut thru to square up the search... go away rain.. tftc

I was walking around Kuipto Forest today and looking for a few caches along the way. I was walking cautiously through the longer grass that was here whilst trying to swat away the persistent flies. Ahhhhh - so many flies! Thankfully a quick find here too. TFTC LíB

Sparkie and Goldy are back for another drive around the Aldinga region for a few recently solved mystery caches.

After finding a few caches in the suburbs we ventured out for a walk around Kuitpo. I haven't been here in 11 years.

The walk ended up taking about 2 hours and 15 minutes but was super worth it.

A quick find here today, made by Sparkie.

Cache is in good condition.

I heard something about a badge level thingy for writing longer logs... so feel to ignore from this point onwards.

Thanks for going to the effort to prepare, hide and submit this geocache for me to find, another smiley for my geomap.

Great day for a hike in the forest.
This hiding spot was well hidden in the long grass.

Can hear the frogs singing!

Found it, great spot

After a big day out kayaking yesterday, I needed to give my arms and shoulders a rest so dime bush walking was on the cards today.

I had a very enjoyable day predominately bush walking and Geocaching around the Kuitpo Forest. I spotted kangaroos, a koala and an abundance of butterflies. Some GZs were amongst high “snakey looking “ grass, I am happy to report no snake encounters today.

I did suffer a couple of DNFs but still had a great day and got lots of exercise.

Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Today with COVID-19 requirements still in effect, but fitness still being promoted, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to head to Kuitpo for some mountain biking. We parked near the corner of Brookman Road and Gum View Road, and rode our mountain bikes north of Brookman Road around the fire tracks around the forestry area, finding the various *Animal Facts* series caches. We also joined a section of the Kidman Trail. We only anticipated to ride one half of these tracks, but we were making good time, and with it being a nice day, we continued our ride. We returned to have lunch, and then did a proper mountain biking session under the pine trees at Prospect Hill. A nice day out, and we saw a few kangaroos about too.

We continued our ride around this area on our mountain bikes, and made a quick find here. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG aka. [@LíB](http://coord.info/PR8KEM6) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

A great day out on the bikes with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) ! TFTC!

Big Tick. Visiting for the tour down under 2020 passing through Meadows today. Enjoying the challenge of local caches. Thankyou for the cache series and the adventure , cheers.
Apologies for the generic logs

Back on the winners list after disappointment back down the track. TFTC.

Nice and wet today but cache and contents are all good. Out finishing off the mystery at the museum challenge. TFTC 3LG

Another nice find, even though it is in the middle of a swamp at the moment!
Cache nice and safe and dry though
Cheers

Today we focussed on the Animal Facts caches in the Kuitpo Forest area. We tried to make an early start because of the forecast higher temperatures but we started about 30 minutes later than planned. Despite that hiccup we were able to make our way around about more than half of the caches by 1:30pm. We will come back another day to look for the remainder.

Accurate coordinates and an obvious hide location led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 3LG for the cache and this set of Animal Facts caches.

I came for a walk before the TDU stage finish. Thanks for the hide.

Out for a walk after work. Wow it is wet here at the moment, I was walking on water literally.
Thanks to 3LG from mogni

Interesting...reading about ticks

Found it.

Having decided that it was a great day for a walk and a picnic in Kuitpo we planned to collect some more in the Animal Facts series along the way. It is always interesting to read about the animals even if they are not the cute type! You could fit a lot of ticks in this container. TFTC [:]

Found with vj187 on a chilly winter day. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

No meetings tonight so got out of work earlier than usual to take advantage of a rare hour of sunlight. Did a loop to grab the last of the major Animal Facts loop ... or as it should be called, 3LG's Tour of Kuipto's Great Trees.
Thanks for the series!

Found with Pathfinder group. Tftc

??????????

Spent the morning with some lads from the Morphett Vale Pathfinder Club who are completing the Geocaching Honour. The group included Jimmy01, Jourdster5555, Blue Cheeta C, Shadowss and green mere cats. Thank you 3LG for the cache and the series.

Ive been wanting to find some of these Kuitpo caches and finally I had some free time thanks to a public holiday and the weather was kind. This one was too damp to sign today - drats as its my #700 . Thanks

Number 8 for the Bear today.

Out on a nice Sunday walk with allister w. Ground was very wet as were some logs but still had fun doing these ones. TFTC

A nice Sunday afternoon walk Cara81 to grab a few caches in this animal facts series. Plenty of water around and we had damp shoes and socks when we had finished. At one point I gave Cara a piggyback across a creek crossing. All the caches we looked for we found and in good condition, a few had damp or wet logs. TFTC

A very wet day and very wet underfoot (and in the shoes!). We knew we were going to get even wetter when a pair of ducks flew off just as we approached GZ! LOL!
Thanks 3LG, excellent series.

Found during a bike ride around Kuitpo, plenty of water around! TFTC

Found on a lovely Father's Day outing with the whole family, as we went on a 5km walk through Kuitpo Forest tracking down some of 3LG's 'Animal Facts' caches. Some of the trail was under water after yesterday's heavy rains, so while today's weather was cloudy but fine, we still ended up with muddy shoes and soggy socks. It didn't dampen our spirits though as we racked up the cache finds and had a great day out. TNLNSL TFTC

No ticks but a spiders web to get to the cache, also very wet I front of cache!

TFTC

big cache for a little tick, with jacknor

out with sir_spectre with a very late start to the animal trail

Camping in kuitpo forest again and really wanted to finish off the Animal fact series started in 2015. Lovely weather to be out walking and caching.

Little pirate is loving all the treasure hunting today! Perfect weather for it!

Nasty!

Thanks for the cache, 3LG

No deer or their ticks seen today TFTC 20/02/2016 10:59 am Find #1045

Watch out if the deer is ticking, it may explode. TFTC. 20/02/2016, 11:00 Find #1414

no ticks today only a wriggly stick.
Returned today to get the rest of this half done, I really need to invest in a bike.
Thanks 3lg

On a lovely day that wasn't too hot I decided to go down to Kuitpo to have a look at 3LG's new cache and clean up the rest of the Animal Facts that I hadn't done. [^]
I decided to bring the bike this time and actually do some "mountain biking" even though pretty tame, but nevertheless the first time I have been off road. I thoroughly enjoyed the couple of hours that it took me to clean up the remaining 21 caches.
Most of the caches were in good order although a few had torn/broken zip lock bags and some of the logs were damp!! Don't know why that would be as there hasn't been much rain lately...maybe condensation.[?]
Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Came back for the rest of the trail... Quick find TFTC!!

What better way to start the weekend than a 5 hour trundle through a forest finding caches? 41 caches, 4 DNFs, 15 kangaroos and 3 kookaburras. What's a deer tick? A checklist for antelopes?

Found it, very wet feet now. Tftc!

I experienced Ticks while bush walking in SW Western Australia, nasty little buggers, fortunately non here today. tftc 3LG

Managed to get all 41 caches in this area today with the Geowife. It drizzled on and off most of the day and took us about 5 hrs / 13km of walking to get them all - quite a rewarding experience - particularly finding them every 5 mins or so as we walked. Saw heaps of kangas, lots of birds and sloshed through countless puddles and overflowing creeks. Cooked up hot noodles and a hot cuppa for lunch at the edge of the forest - a tops day out.
Thanks for the cache!

Day 3 McLaren Vale.
Today we went into the forest searching for some animals. This was our first sunny day in ages, the ground was still wet, slippery & some puddles to negotiate in places.
Hubby walked one section of the trail while I did another.
Thanks for placing this cache 3LG

If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise!
Out for an afternoon and evening walk and cache with Mr and Mrs Froghoppin (and Amber).
Nice variety of hides. Fav'd a couple for the cool camo
