By 3LG on 03-Jun-14. Waypoint GC56A5K

In McLaren Vale this morning, quick park and sighn here, TFTC

We are on a caravanning trip around Australia seeing the sights and finding a few caches. We are staying in McLaren vale so decided to get out the bikes and go for a ride. We spied this one from the other side of the road so a nice quick find.

Out with mum and dad today visiting the nearby winery. Decided to jog out and grab this one. All of my 206 bones were feeling it by the time I arrived at GZ. A quick find. Tftc!!Now to get back..

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Aldinga for a few days and ranging from there to grab some finds. Scored another beautiful day but the nights are still chilly. Perfect day to get on the rail trail. Thanks for the hide

We enjoyed the walk along this peaceful part of the world. Cache and log book OK. TFTC

Out for a walk while staying at Yundi tftc

I think this is going to be the closest I ever get to parking within arms reach of a cache. I parked up at this point to wander along the trail and I spied the cache from the car. However, as the GZ was pretty busy with other cars and bikes, I ended up making the retrieval was I was ready to move to my next destination. TFTC LíB

Find 3400

Found after the finish of the Tour Down Under Stage 4 2023.

For a little while I did contemplate finding a few more caches nearby but decided it was time to go home.

Thanks to 3LG for the cache.

It's Fine Elsewhere

First spot we checked

Good easy find hidden in plain sight

Found this one on our biking trip with our friends during our stay in Mount Compass.

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 179. Blackwood Day 3. Today was the day I came to Adelaide for, the day we went to McClaren Vale to celebrate my mothers birthday. It also was a day I only needed a few caches, so I was happy to squeeze one in not far from the restaurant we had lunch at. A very successful day !

With a car full of muggles, I was very happy that the cache was very easy to find and I was able to see it as we stopped.

Thanks for the cache LíB

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure and another chilly dry day, just perfect for geocaching. A quick driveby, all good here TFTC.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs & wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

We parked and approached from the wrong angle so I thought we were in the wrong spot! Felt so dumb for spending so long looking when I finally found it.

Grabing a few caches before heading to Glenelg.

We rode the Shiraz Trail yesterday on an e-bike. Fortunately the bike battery was fully charged. Unfortunately the iPhone battery was not so we did no caching. Drove past this one today for a quick find. Nice story and theme. TFTC LíB. Found 22/5/21 11:50 am. Cache 1945 for us.

Found and logged using the Cachly app for iPhone.

Out chasing numbers again and today it was the October OTD and the Bletchley series and anything else that seemed like a good idea. Managed to finish what I'd planned just on dark with over 60 finds and only 2 DNFs.
Thanks to LíB for putting out this cache for me to find

I had a wonderful time with my parents, visiting this beautiful country. Let's hope I'll have some souvenirs when I grow up as I had 14 month during the time I was in Australia.

Thanks to all geocachers around here.

TFTC!

Discovering Australia with husband and baby, this cache was along our road-trip.

TFTC!

We had a one-month period discovering a small part of this wonderful country, coming as a family from France, with my wife CaroLiiiine and our 14-month baby, PirateNoé.
Very often, Geocaching is also a good way to discover hidden places, or to give an extra interest in visiting some other more famous.

Thanks to all geocachers who hid those boxes, we had a lot of fun to find them.

TFTC !

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Based at Willunga house-sitting for a few weeks, a drive to McLaren Vale again today, to the info centre to get some camping info on Kangaroo Island. Took a long way round via California Road, caching on the way. Filling in the gaps on the map now.

Coffee at Info Centre, Information taken, Another cache off the list as we head home now.

As we walked towards GZ, we had to decide whether it would be inside or outside. Lucky for me I was on the right side! Thanks LiB

Thanks !!! Had a nice drink nearby at the salopian

A quick findbhere

Today I headed to McLaren vale to clean up a bit more of the area and mainly target the OTD series. The weather was crap and not the best day to be out in a bike for 2 hours whilst it’s belting with rain.
Managed to also run into 2ysTassies along the way.

TFTC

Good GPS for quick find. Lovely walk, lovely day. Thanx

Thanks for the cache
