I hope the teeny tiny cabins that you speak about werent underground . Im not sure I could look at you the same way if they were, Hurtle. Have you returned from the dead?A quick find with LB on our way over the border to help Locus Cache relocate. The adventure continues.TFTC HurtleKeep smiling

Found while visiting gardens.

Day 3 of my Geocaching weekend away to do a maintenance Run on all my caches along the Murray River and surrounding areas. Today was from Berri back to Tarlee. I checked a few more of my hides and even run in to a couple of interstate Geocachers and found a few more caches along the way.Sorry for the generic log but trying to catch up on my backlog of found caches before the new year.TFTC Hurtle

Found it. Seen the TB but left it. Kids took something we left diamonds and an animal. TFTC

Quick easy find whilst caching in the area. Enjoying time at the National Rally Barmera. SL TFTC

Always interesting to have a look around a cemetery we didnt know was here. Swapped TB, TFTC!

While travelling through the area we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

Caches and contents were very good. Left TB.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found while travelling to the Tri-State Community Events and International Geocaching Day weekend in the Riverland. Thanks for the cache Hurtle!

#18965. Day 7 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. A travelling day today between Loxton and Blanchetown. Quite a few caches collected along the way and after lunch we did a quick run of the Riddlers Rooka Rampage and JLWE Series. A total of 50 finds for the day.

Always like visiting these old cemeteries. This one is quite small but there are some rather large new graves here and some getting ready for future customers. Took quite a while before we located the cache but all was good here.

Thanks Hurtle

Day seven of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
Another traveling day - Loxton to Blanchetown. Overcast but mild day.
Picked up a few caches on the way, and the completed the JLWE and Riddlers series.

I didn't realise the cache was in a cemetery, we approached from the wrong direction obviously.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found by dad

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
A bitterly cold day today but that didn't deter us from our quest to find more On Your Bike caches and others along our route. Thanks for the cache.

Out on a very cool day with iluvtrekking grabbing a few hides while ranging from Loxton. Thanks Hurtle

Out and about on a glorious Autumn day - Quick find TFTC

Found it!

Clear container
Yellow lid

This is our last day in Loxton, tomorrow we move on to Karoonda, here we intend to find more of the Wandering Heroes that have popped up since we were last in the area.
Today we headed iyt tiwards Moorook mainly to find a few caches to keep out find count climbing.
We did rectify a DNF in Loxton so we are back down to onlt 1 blue face on the map. SL TFTC

TFTC. Today is our last day in the Loxton area before we move back to Maryborough,Vic. We had eyed of the caches along Gogel Rd and up to Kingston. It was now or never. Hopped into the Geo-mobile and away we went. All caches found in good order.

TFTC!

Second one done

Easy find TFTC

Caching has fallen by the wayside with everything that has been going on, work, lockdowns, blah, blah...so we needed to get away for a bit of R&R after lockdown so headed to Loch Luna for the weekend to refresh and cache! Today we packed up and headed home clearing out a few caches on the way. A quick find here...So frustrating to find that morons have placed food and bottle caps in the cache. WHO in their right mind think these are acceptable Swag?? Removed 3 caps and a biscuit and binned. TFTC

As I am getting older and running out of time, I have decided I will take off on my own to cache in different areas of our vast country as my NGW (Non Geocaching Wife) has no interest in caching.
I have been in Loxton for five days of full on caching with suscoe, au.fait and Phetlern but suscoe and Phetlern have hit the road for home so that leaves only au.fait & the ageing Bushfire to head out to do the wandering heroes Fishy Tales and a few other caches.
I am afraid that for the next few days my logs are going to be a lot of cutting and pasting but that does not take away the effort that the owners have put in to provide these caches for us to find so please accept my thanks. With close to 200 caches placed I know how much work is involved with not only placing them but the ongoing maintenance.
Very cold morning but we kept plodding on cache after cache until the day warmed up.
Thanks, Hurtle for placing this cache.

Another well kept cemetery Both Phetlern and Suscoe headed for home early this morning so Bushfire and I headed off to see if we could land a very big fish. We were very successful at this, much more so than catching those wet and slippery ones. We were so successful that we also had time to find many more caches around the district too. Another great day with the ever helpful Bushfire even if I did nearly freeze early in a bitingly cold wind I have much to thank him for as he provided the vehicle, did all the driving, provided fruit cake, and a big warm jacket which saved my life, to say nothing of his good company TFTC Hurtle

Always interesting walking around these places. It’s the ages that gets me. Some lives are just so short! We had no issues locating the cache container. Our last cache for the day before heading back home. Thanks for highlighting this area, we enjoyed exploring it!

Thank you.. found it

Don’t know what it is but my gps won’t work in there. Oooooo
Came back second time went for the hint and found it. Put some flowers on some little trackers graves TFTC

After leaving Waikerie and going a bit east again. this was a stop we made along the way. Found the way on with ilook4geo and followed the GPS and soon found what we wanted. Cache was tight and securely in place, with no interested neighbours. Log was signed with both names and we quietly left and went on our way again. Thanks to Hurtle for placing this cache.

Along with goingplaces2 we started going east and stopped here for a quick cache pick up. All was quiet and the cache was found in good condition. Log signed, job done! TFTC.

Creepy

A lot of young soles taken early here.
Was unable to find. Last person said coords we’re out so I looked everywhere but no good. Will come back if found in future.

Thankyou. Great spot. GPS coords seemed a bit off but might have been the weather.

Found it. Easy peasy

TFTC

Found. So much local history and sad stories can be found on cemeteries.

Found while on my way to Banrock Station.
Thanks for bringing me here.

*Found whilst on family holidays in Renmark*

A nice early start on a pleasant spring day in the Riverland. Out and about with Happy pants and Happy Feet. A great morning out with many laughs had and memories made.

A nice straight forward find here as we allowed our GPS to be our guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Hurtle.

Stamped and returned as found...

Cache-On!

Out with Snap Happy and Happy Feet today grabbing a few caches around Renmark and it's surrounds and we had decided to have lunch at Lake Bonney and we found this cache while on our way there. We managed to make a quick find with this one and continued on our way exploring the area. Thanks Hurtle for the cache.

In Renmark for a family holiday for the week. After heading out for a drive and doing some wine tasting with the rest of the family, Happy pants, Snap Happy and myself headed back to camp via a few caches. We discovered some good hides and had no DNF's. There was plenty of laughs and fun had, along the way.

We are making plenty of memories on the murray of our own, over these few days holidays, thankfully none of these types. Took the wrong way in but made a quick find, once at GZ. Then proceeded to read all the headstones, looking for our own family history.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the start of 2018 my average was only 47 words per log, which seems a long way from the 100 target. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 7000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 50 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Thanks Hurtle for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Mr Beetle waited in the van while I wandered over to get this one. Love doing cemetery caches on my own as I can linger longer. On the way noticed an old grave of a 25 year and her baby. How great are the developments in medicine since the olden days????
At GZ the cache was quickly spotted and retrieved but then quickly dropped on the ground. I don't know who was more frightened, the great big spider on it or me? He scurried off but will probably make his way back to his home.
Thanks.

slowly leaving berri and heading for the Lets Kayak ... Murbko event. quick find.

After staying over night in Berri. Breakfast done spout to do a few caches along the way on a cool day TFTC

Found at 10:46 AM GAFF3.
So much fallen timber around made this D of 1.5 a lot harder than that!
Approached from the northern side and we were suddenly confronted with a cemetery - didn't expect that.
Thanks Hurtle.

Found while on Easter break

Found it OK with the help of the hint and a friendly Muggle who is traveling my group from the Murray mouth to the source in Mt Kosiosko NP. Tn Ln TFTC.
