Day 171 (Monday 16th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Millicent today. A total of 1 for the day and 3001 for the trip. TFTC
Went to look for this one and fell short by about 8 feet .
There's some great construction work going on here and it looks like there's a neat little adventure park being developed - all kept safe by a 6 foot fence and no access .
Looks like we'll have to come back another time .
Thanks anyway Tomo64.

Today was my final day around Mount Gambier and then on to driving back home to Adelaide. Following a couple of cave dives at the Pines, I still had half a day to head back, and so stopped off at quite a few geocaches that I had on my target list along the Coorong road. I managed to stop off to complete the other half of the Millicent SFE series, some more caches around Millicent, and then a few oldie geocaches at various stops within the Coorong and Policeman's Point.
As others' have mentioned, this area is behind a fence whilst this playground is being built/upgraded, and subsequently, should be disabled until completed. With no one around, and not wanting the possibility for this geocache to get archived with the string of DNFs, I did find an opportunity to access the area. I left the main structure alone and walked around outside, to make a quick find of the cache at GZ. Thanks tomo64 for this placement and maintenance. Looks like this will be a fun playground once construction has finished.

Checking out this beautiful area by satellite. Hope to visit here and find this cache. Thanks for placing it.
It was good to see Anna (Whitepaws9) from Geelong again. We chatted and laughed around Town for a few hours before we went back to “Evergreen” Hostel.
Thanks tomo64 for the cache

No luck today - the cache is protected by a big fence at the moment. Looks like a nice spot though.

Day 4 in the Millicent area and today I cached around town. Thanks to all the cache owners for the good quality caches in the area. TFTC
Found with Lowus on a warm autumn's morning of caching in the Glencoe/Tantanoola/Millicent area.
Top little spot for a very well hidden cache. Quickly retrieves, signed and grabbed the TB.

Good parking here, a short walk over beautiful green lawns and the cache was soon spotted. Thanks tomo64
Hi there tomo64.
We ventured from Mount Gambier to Millicent for a day out. We enjoyed our outing and found 24 caches (& DNF'd 2) in our cache run today. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander our way around Australia.
**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:** Smiley Badge
**Dropped Trackable:** "Coral the Wandering Unicorn".
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Needed to come into Millicent today to repair the flat tyre, a nail it seems. Spare on but with a long trip ahead we needed it repaired so we had a good spare with us. The kids were happy to stay back with everyone else so with Mr Aquilus1 we head off together with a plan of some time together and some caches too!
Have visited this park with the kids before, back when they liked parks. Was busy today with families but the cache is far enough away to not be a problem. A good cache hide here, straight forward and well hidden too. Thanks for the cache.

First to sign the new log! Great playground kids were reluctant to leave to find geocache. But eventually they gave in. Tftc
Have finally found the time to replace, thanks to those that put a temporary one there for me.
The three of us were staying in Millicent for some caching and sightseeing.
Mr Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache tomo64.

On account of previous logs and after a thorough search in the obvious location we decided to replace the missing cache container (hoping the CO doesn't mind the maintenance). Thanks for the cache tomo64!
On our two week Caravanning Trip Over to Mexico and back. Day 4 and in Millicent, we are teamed up with TR!, Travellinbes and Chrispy 89. Had a thorough look or this one, but alas I think it has gone AWOL
Grabbing a cache or two as we get ready to head on to Kingston SE for the night, then heading on to Adelaide and Alice and higher. Need to get up north away from the south winter. TFTC
Suscoe was enjoying a few days at Mount Gambier and surrounds this week leading up to Easter.
We experienced a strange but familiar pattern of weather with a storm last weekend, with hail, rain and strong winds and towards the end of the week we had calm and sunny days. Just like home.
Anyway, we enjoyed the caching, so many different locations and interesting hides.
Well done to all the cachers for the work done in creating and hiding their caches for us to find.
It was the day after that cold front and things were settling down a bit but there were still a few showers about and a cold wind.
Millicent is a delightful area to explore.
Thanks to tomo64 for this hide.
Left a new temp log under the lid. Needs urgent TLC.

This cache was barely there! Just a notebook and a lid! It should be replaced ASAP as it looks like rain today
A nice little hide. My kids had a fantastic play today with hot chips for lunch!
Found with little miss on a fun arvo finishing off the caches around Millicent!

Had dropped Geodad just out of town for his Motorbike Licence test this morning. Had just been to the Scouts free activities close by, we were wondering what we would do for so many hours so thankfully this was on & took up all those hours from Rock Climbing to wrestling suits to car racing geokiddies had a ball. Geokids had then just been at the skate park & it was now time we head to pick Geodad up but a close cache first to be found. When we pulled up Geomum had a feeling we had been here before but looked a little more opened up. As it turns out we have been here before back on the 8 March 2014 but didn't find. Not sure how we missed this last time unless it went missing. Quick & easy find today though almost 2 years on. TFTC
I would be really happy if this cache is still in fact there somewhere, as the tree it was in has definitely been removed. Will need to check this out.
Found cache in obvious spot
Upon arriving close to GZ expected a DNF as trees were being trimmed
Workers had moved on so we went in search and found the cache

We are staying at Beachport for a 4 night camping trip with Earthlight & muggle friends, no electricity as we are camping in the national park, it has been a fantastic time spending time down this way finding caches along the way,another quick and easy find for us today : ) TFTC
What a fabulous playground. Pity my offspring are now too old but I'm sure the little monkey would get some joy.
Raced out after dinner at the caravan park to grab as many as I could (without the family whining) before nightfall. Managed 10 in an hour which would never happen in the city. Mix of walking and driving and barely any muggles. Nice summer evening and loads of birds and even more butterflies. Thanks for placing this cache and for the smiley!!

Out & about in the area caching with my family, TT016. My adult daughter found the cache & next all I could hear was screeching as she was putting it back. I remember a similar situation when she was a lot younger, screeching because of a large spider in her cubby. We said then we thought she scared it away and again today we said the same thing as no-one else saw it. Wonder what the neighbours thought TFTC tomo64.
cache was located and retrieved with ease.
however putting it back was interesting
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!... i cant believe i put my hand in there!!!!!"
geo wife jumping around like a crazy person flicking her hands and pulling funny faces.
she saw a rather large grey spider with a "big bum"
made for good conversation afterwards.
a lovely geocaching arvo with hevwalker12.
tftc!!

Finally we were in Millicent on an afternoon when there were stuff all people about, phew at last!!!
Had a wander through the park and admired the paintings, grabbed the cache, signed the log and tucked it away safe and sound.
Thanks tomo64 for the cache.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache tomo64.
We are back on the road heading to Millicent today.
We made a few stops on the way finding caches. The scenery is very interesting, lakes & salt pans.
After lunch we took a trip around town finding trolls & other caches. This was a great way to see the area.

I got a gps for my birthday and hubbie and I decided to go for a walk and discover the treasures close to home. This was an easy find.
My bike ride was almost over.
I just had this cache to find, then a visit to the bakery, and then I was back in the geomobile for the rest of the caching day
As I headed into the park, I realised that I should have gone after this cache first up !!
There were probably no muggles around here when I started me bike ride in the rain !!
Now there were
I zoomed in the GPS display to see which mini-muggle was probably sitting, swinging, or climbing next to the cache.
Surprise !!
The cache is over there ….....
Over there I was out of sight of the muggles and enjoyed a quick cache find

Found while the G/kids played. My new iPhone works a treat. I told the G/kids there was a cache nearby, after we left and they were a bit disappointed. I did explain, I won't leave them out next time. Tftc 1/01/2015 4:47 pm Find #760
TFTC. Was quite obvious when we arrived so we ensured we leaved it more when we left!
More quick cache finding fun.

Still summer and a lot of fun. Nice hide.

Camped at Millicent for a few days. Yesterday we were house bound as we have both come down with a serious cold. (Seems like it may be man flu, as nobody has ever been as sick as us [xx(] )
Forecast was for showers only, so we eventually dragged ourselves out to explore this pretty town..

Have replaced cache, as it wasn't in original hiding place, an I couldn't find it. Hopefully it stays a little longer this time.
Catching up on some very late logs.
This was our last day of our caching visit to South Australia but still hoping to grab a few more before getting to Portland.
What a great looking playground that was only being used by a mother and child.
Lucky GZ was far enough away that this was not a problem and we had another nice easy find and have added our name to the log.
Thanks again tomo64.

Easy find as it was in plain view upon walking up - probably not in the place it was supposed to be.
Playground nearby looked fantastic - wish the rest of the Bastians Boys were with me.
Will leave separate maintenance log.

Very wet, and was found in plain view on the ground. Looks like a muggle found it, and just left it lying there. I've re-stashed it but can't be sure where it was suppose to be so put it somewhere obvious, and then covered it. Cheers.
Found on our "Making Memories" tour of Mainland Australia.
Today we explored Millicent with whitewebbs using geocaching as our guide.
Many thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.
