Out playing tourist today with Geo hubby Animal62, travelling these many roads that seam to always lead to one cache or another.
The log was signed & dated before being returned back to its hiding spot.

Found another smaller screw top container a few metres away, this container had an old log book inside dating back to 2014, decided to combine both as one was dry and the other larger container was very wet inside.

Thanks to the many hands and minds taking time to set out hides and showing us your part of the world

Log signed as SB

Thanks for hiding. Good to be having a look around the area. Caching with Wollaston and SeasonedBird.
 
20-Oct-21
Hmmm, combined 2 containers and logs (which have both been active), found about 8m apart which will also improve the weather proofing. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird, Liz & Bruce. Blue sky day, so it’s a great day for caching. TFTC Sxymama

A nice drive up here, after a short search the large cache was found and is all good

Today with a few new caches published and a new cache published in the Barossa thought I would go for the FTF and also clean up the remains that I had left in the area. A nice day out with 35 finds

Thanks for the cache
 
We could hear sheep bleating in the distance as we found this cache. Nice sized container. Thanks for sharing the views with us.
 
03-Jan-21
Found during an enjoyable and eventful caching foray around the backroads of Nuriootpa after attending the 'A 10th Geo Birthday and other Stuff' event! Not sure that the nearby property-owner knows about geocaching, as a car was driven down the driveway to the gate and I think I may have been video-ed on their phone after I had found the cache and was just leaving??? Thanks for the cache Sxymama!

Who would have thought there were vineyards way back here? Not me! I have left my car at the corner near “Well Hung” and walked to all of these and it’s been a great afternoon. FP for the series, thanks sxymama!

TFTC... Whilst not huge, there is perhaps a hole in the bucket. A few small swaps but all water damaged unfortunately.

I found it although the GPS was a little bit out, no bucket but nice cache all the same.
Thanks for bringing me out this way and for the cache.

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us. Wink

Now visiting in Tanunda, today we set about exploring the area using Geocaching as our guide.
What a fabulous sunny day, the best we have had since we arrived on Sunday so it was indeed a pleasure to be out and about.

Found it
 
23-Apr-18
Found while out hunting traditionals in the Tanunda and Bethany area.
Nice to find such a large cache but pity it was ajar and had filled with water. Tipped out, replaced sodden swag in damp container, put a smudge on the sodden log, left out to hopefully dry. Managed to get lid closed and maybe watertight but cache could certainly do with some TLC from the CO.
Thanks for the cache Sxymama
 
21-Jan-18
Out with hevwalker caching our way to the Barossa via the backroads.
We had to do a double take when we realised it was what we though it was with the lid open & a heap of pine needles.
So, a bit of cache maintenance was required.
Now that's what I call a large cache.
Thanks for bringing us here Sxymama
 
21-Jan-18
Caching my way towards the Barossa with clare007 on this rather warm afternoon...
When we approached the container we were not sure it was the cache but on closer inspection we could see the logbook & swag inside...
The container was open with lid laying back on the ground and full of pine needles...
We emptied the container and cleared it out as much as we could with what we had...placed the swag back in...it seems the swag & logbook had been wet but with the sunshine it has dried out...
Signed the logbook and placed it in a plastic bag...
Tried to shut the lid but not able to as it has been distorted...placed a couple of rocks on top to keep it in place but the inside will get wet when it rains again...
A nice spot for a large cache though...
And yes! the Barossa is beautiful...
Thanks Sxymama
 
28-Nov-17
I decided to take a drive to Barossa Valley to collect a few caches. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, and not many people around, possibly because of a working day. I discovered a few lovely places along the way, thank you for bringing me out here!!

No hint needed to find this cache!

The lid doesn't seem to close properly, and the container has quite a large amount of water in it. At least the logbook in this one was dry enough to use.

Thanks Sxymama.

Quick find but not sure about a bucket???? Beary Organised & I have had a great first day in the Barossa. Sun is setting & getting very cool 5pm. TFTC TNLNSL

Found it with CherryRose on our caching holiday in the Barossa. Bucket is no more. Large cache is a bit grotty. Lid does not close so everything is getting wet. TFTC TNLNSL

12-Dec-16
Quick find, requires maintenance. Tftc. Also no TB
 
12-Dec-16
The cache was left open, so it's full of bugs and dirt. No tracker bug like we hoped but was still a good little drive and nice find thank you!
 
11-Oct-16
Tftc - nice big container left heaps of bigger swaps for the kids!
 
22-Aug-16
1 out of 3 isn't bad I guess. A particular TB was of interest to me and today was the day to retrieve it. Unfortunately said TB couldn't be located and had to settle for a Snoopy TB instead. TFTC
 
18-Aug-16
Just a few after work. Need a cache a day, but why stop at one !
Barossa certainly IS beautiful.
A nice quick find. Swapped TBs.

After attending the Farmers Market with our travelling companions iluvtrekking, we headed out to grab some of the local caches. Hard to miss this one. Beautiful house being erected across the road. Thanks Sxymama
 
26-Mar-16
After a visit to the Nuri Markets for breakfast we headed for the country roads. Thanks for your cache Sxymama, the Barossa has so many stunning twists and turns.
 
24-Feb-16
Out caching on my birthday decided to grab this one, such a lovely area. Had a slight panic on the way back as didn't realise how low on petrol I was until I started to head back, Geopartner had to Google closet servo but luckily we made it. It all added to the adventure. TFTC
 
24-Feb-16
Thanks for the cache, the views were wonderful.
 
09-Jan-16
A quick and easy find of a well stocked cache. Took a ruler, left a tag; Also took the dolphin TB. Once the new house going up across the road is finished, the hide might need to be not quite so obvious and exposed if it is to last. There was no one there as I made the find, but then a car did drive into the property and I certainly got a bit of a funny look as I sat in my car typing up my field note. Wink Cache #2331.

A nice backcountry road with great views. TFTC

Adelaide trip September 2015. I spend five days driving to Adelaide taking some more remote routes across the river land area and exploring new places along the way. Day 13. Today is back on the road, half my journey back to Canberra took me to Balranald via the Barossa valley using all of the new South Road and Sturt Highway links.

Thanks.

Dr Owl, RideTheGeoWalrus and I (minus Sushilord, who was a last minute no show) went caching today, in Harry. Smile
I managed 15 Smile and since I forgot to fuel up at lunchtime, we had a mad dash to Blanchetonn towards the end of the day before turning for home. Red Face
A fun day though, with some rain, some great views and some interesting caches Cool

This might get trickier to maintain once people move in to the new house but a lovely dead end road and good sized cache Cool

Well, hard to miss it, actually. Nice to see a big cache for a change. Might be a bit trickier to avoid muggles once the house is completed though!
 
11-Jul-15
Plans were afoot to help sushilord to replace one of his hides up near Clare way with Doctor Owl and make a day of it, but sadly the weather ensured this was not going to be a thing. Instead the good Doctor and I were joined by locus cache for a northern adventure.

Oooh! A regular. They're so rare! Not sure how long this one will last when the construction is finished, but we loved rummaging through the bits and pieces in here!

This was find number 14 of 39 for the night for me. TFTC Sxymama!

Lol it's hard not to spot this enormous cache. Guess there's very few muggles here though. Pretty drive. TNLN TFTC

Today we toured arround the Barrosa region, grape vines are very bare & lots of pruning being done in the area. We passed many vineyards & wineries but did not stop to Taste their wares.
It was a geat day we found numerous caches in some interesting & great location.
Thanks for placing this cache Sxymama

Headed out today with earthlight to clean up a few of the caches around this area, we managed about 34 for the day and was a great day driving around the areas with some really cool buildings along the way, caching takes you to some places you would never go and these are areas we would not normally go, weather was good for us today and was a very enjoyable day. TFTC
 
19-Apr-15
A beautiful day and after visiting the area to plan for the upcoming 15 years of caching event (GC50486) and being rained out on the way home came back for a few finds today.
Had fun driving around the barossa today.
