Good find. Log will need replacing soon. TFTC

Couldn't find this one today.

Found it! Found after a minute or 2 searching. #440 TFTC!

Many logs to look in. But found it quickly, took longer to get the log book out of the cache

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Found it while camping at Ricky Paddock. On way from Melbourne to Perth. Cache in good shape, guarded by some kangaroos that lol like they are wearing black gloves. Thanks:)

Took us a while to get Thai one!

Found 11/8/22
In good condition, easy find

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

Our last full day in the Barossa and another chilly day, a perfect day for caching. TFTC 3LG a fantastic series, we will have to return one day.

Another chilly and misty morning out with iluvtrekking on our last day in the Barossa area. Thanks for the hide 3LG.

Good find.

Camping at Wirreanda Farm in Mt Crawford for the Easter long weekend. Had the mountain bike with so some caching had to be done. An enjoyable day with 10 caches again today, enjoying the serenity of the forest. Todays highlights include kayaking around Lake Warren and making our 4000th find. This cache was one that was found today.

Another simple find, I’m good condition for its age. Signed and rehid, cheers.

Find #3999 on 16 Apr 2022.

Tftc!

I spent an enjoyable day exploring and geocaching around the Mt Crawford area. Weather was good for geocaching and thankfully no rain.

After failing to help a young sheep get back under the fence to be reunited with its mother, I parked the car in a suitable place and headed off on foot.

I had two DNFs on this little trail but still very enjoyable.

Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Today, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) and I headed east to Mount Crawford with our bikes. I had a few targets that I had wanted to get to today, but as always, I had more targets and less time to do all of them. Our first cluster of caches was aimed at *SFE Challenge - Milestone 10,000 finds* with the *Big Fat* geocaches nearby as a loop. That was some solid riding up/down the hills, and a few geocaches were time consuming due to their hide types. After a quick Williamstown bakery lunch, we returned to another section in Mount Crawford, and concentrated on the Rocky Paddock campground area with a number of *Animal Facts* geocaches found. Gridge98 departed home, but I had another couple of rides up Tower Hill Track, and also around Rocky Paddock along Gordon Road. I completed the day with a short walk up Mount Crawford boardwalk, and a few miscellaneous finds on my return home. It was a brisk day with cold winds and a few intermittent drizzles, but otherwise not a bad day to be on the bike.

Both [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) checked a few obvious places and still no cache, so we scratched our heads wondering what we were missing. Then [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) spotted the sneaky hide. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG/@LíB for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

We parked up and walked down to this cache, after a bit of a search in the locations we couldn’t find it, I turned around and there it was. Cache is all good

Today I met up with Davidwazza at Mt Crawford to complete some caches that required a bike, we particularly focused on the area around the Big fat series. After having lunch I was spent and decided to head home and find a few caches along my way. All up 30 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

An easy find In a beautiful area. Tftc!

Checked while in the area doing maintenance, cache is fine

Today I ventured out with LiB to attend to some maintenance with her and collect a few caches...
It is a beautiful day for a walk in the forest...

First of many walks in Mt Crawford forest I'm sure. Tftc

Thought we’d get away from it all and do some caching in a quiet spot only to find everyone else brought it all with them and camped for the weekend! Stealthy find. TFTC

Nice and easy

Our 6th smiley for today. SL. Watching out for muggle campers. We've had an awesome time in the great outdoors (all this only 12km from home) TFTC.

Found it in an obvious place giant rock is my hint

Checked and replaced log sheet

Found

GPS jumping around but in the end found with geokids

Found with Csaba! and SupaOrange before I had a caching name. A very late log. Turtle out.

Caching with Csaba! while camping. Caching heals a broken leg they say. Tra La Laaaa

Found on a loop wander after a nearby event. Beautiful day if you could get in the sunshine. Better than being at home doing washing. Thanks 3LG

Enjoying a stroll around the forest on a surprisingly warm day for June collecting some animal fact series, all found today were in good condition, had to leave two for another day way to many muggle campers near GZ.

Another quick find, there is only one spot it could be. Signed log

Another great weekend at Mt Crawford with more caches. Tftc

Thanks. Nice view.

Tftc

Just a quick dash in and out of the forest for a cache!
No horsing around - had to fly
Luckily it's cooler and windy, so ain't no flies on us.
Thanks for placing this one out there 3LG

Short walk. Quick find. It said No Authorised Entry on the gate but that doesn't mean cachers right? Tftc.

Its warmed up this afternoon. Another find for today SL TFTC

Found it with scouts

Was coming for a walk around here, but found I didn't need to walk! So found more than expected...
Quick find here with the obvious cammo...

Camping at Rocky Paddock for the weekend to try out our new Caravan, decided on a bit of a walk to find some caches, this was a quick find.. TFTC

Find #699 on trip around Australia with Willow the little black adventure cat. See vancatmeow.com for updates on where we are. 26 months on the road.

Thanks for the cache!

Night walk with the geokids. Thanks

Yay. 2nd time round. Nice easy find. TFTC

Quick find and the first mint tin for the day. Great day for caching and walking in the forest.

Thank you, horse fly! Check out this little lady guarding the cache!

Did we find it? Of horse we did! Tftc

Not a bad day up this way, a few light showers but otherwise a nice day to cache and this one was an easy find to start the day.

Worth it for the view!

Easy find... that will be a throwdown if ever I saw one

Lots of ladybeetles here

Once again out in the Mt Crawford area with Debandy and the Geo son attacking another outbreak of cache. Many cache were defeated in the assault and much fun was had by all.

Thanks for the cache!

Out in the area again with Cows with guns and his calf finding many caches on such a beautiful day.
Thanks for the cache.

A little bit hard to get out but great idea. Finial cache for the day. Thanks for the trail Amandy x

Found while camping with friends. TFTC

With some of the gates closed and access limited, decided to complete a loop around the larger Rocky Paddock camping ground area by bike. Thanks for the exercise and cache 3LG!

Found today but the log is very damp and difficult to write on. Loved the container (very cute) as well as sneaking behind the campers who were trying to enjoying their camping weekend in peace! I have no plans on getting bitten by a horse fly in the near future! Thanks for the hunt 3GL

Found on a day when I exceeded the target that I had hoped for. As I signed the log a lone orienteer walked nearby totally oblivious to my presence.

Back for another quick visit between showers [^]
A soggy place today!
Cheers & TFTC 3LG

Grand I found it

Lovely morning for a boardwalk and a forest walk, so we did a couple of loops finding these caches. Dry enough that it wasn't boggy, cool enough that snakes weren't a worry.
Nice to see a variety of container sizes and good hides along the walk. Very familiar area for Mrs Frozen Feet, who spent a lot of time orienteering in these parts as a youngster.
Saw a few roos and lots of birds, and a LOT of campers in the rocky paddock section.

Found with auzzie convict tftc

Tftc

Luckily Mrs TiedyeSmileys made a quick find on this. it was so covered over it could have taken ages to uncover.

TFTC

Found an obvious hiding spot, but no cache.

Found on yet another bike ride with the family. Nice hide in a good area.
TFTC

Luckily didn't encounter any horse flies on my walk but saw a mob (20 plus) of kangaroos that didn't like to hang around. Thanks 3LG.

Another great autumn day so headed out Mount Crawford way to pick up some animal facts and a few others.
Thanks for the cache 3LG

Lovely day in Mt Crawford outing with family
Cache hidden took little while to find

Found it

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega.

Today we moved our caravan to Mt Crawford. We arrived at lunchtime just prior to the rain.

After setting up and having lunch we decided to head out to find a few caches to continue our geostreak.

This cache was only a few hundred metres from camp, so we wandered down to check it out. As the rain has eased now, we decide to tackle a few others.

TFTC

Decided to walk the forrest with the Geopups and Parrothead rather than treat it like a powertrail in a car.
Lovely walk in a lovely area

Rather than drive along Chalk Rd and treat these like a power trail in a forest Tara and I decide to park over by Toucan just up from M&Ms 3000 cache and do a walk through the forest to Meercat.
Everything was wet and running water which made it very pretty.
We were surprised by the number of campers given how cold and wet it was.
Glad there was a couple of clues along the way with the facts caches.
I kept forgetting that refering back to the listing wasnt going to help with finding where the cache might be hidden.
It was dark and damp by the time we made it to horse fly so we gave up caching and concentrated on getting back to the car.

Tftc

Out for a drive and grab a few caches

TFTC. Found on a miserable day (weather wise) not caching wise (found all I attempted!!!). Found on a day of caching in Mt Crawford forest.

Cute critter.

Picked a cold, damp winter's day for this trek - actually very peaceful after the hubbub of the June Long Weekend.

EZ find. Thanks for the cache, 3LG
