Quick and easy find with CatCasper. Coords were a little bit out. We are staying in the Horsham in Victoria in a few days so wanted to find one here too!TFTC!

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. [:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - 12 Drawer [^]
Got a couple of bull ant bites while signing this log (some in some places that may have seemed a little inappropriate to be grabbing on the side of the road) so hopefully the neighbours weren't looking! Thanks for the hunt today.
We had looked for this cache during a previous visit but without success. Given the recent positive history of finds, we stopped this morning on our way to Victor Harbor. It took us a few minutes to locate the cache, eventually finding it 9m East of the published coordinates. Only then did the hint make sense. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 12drawer for the cache.
Went on safari and got the prize. Tired now after a long day Kuitpo caching. With kayche22 tftc
Nice easy park and grab
Stamped log which was a bit damp but otherwise perfect

Stopped here on the way to Kuitpo to boost the numbers. I spotted the elephant, but not the hippo. Maybe the angle from where I had parked. Took me a little while to find the cache because of jumping to conclusions. Thanks again 12drawer - second one of yours today.
Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches, cliffs and wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking on the geo-guided tour.

What a day we have had today. The first thing that happened right before my eyes all my maps just disappeared from the GPS, nothing we did would bring them back. Finally after several phone calls trying to fix the problem we ended up on the phone to Garmin who declared that the GPS was terminal. We will be without a GPS for a couple of weeks so it is caching with the phone, yuk. Today we needed to say no to a few of the Forty Winks caches that we had targeted.
The phone has an app on it that monitor’s my heart and I am not allowed to be more than 2 meters from the phone, the terrain was beyond me, if hubby had gone for the caches he would have needed to use the phone, the next thing would be a phone call wondering if everything was OK.
All the caches that we found today were in good condition and the majority of co-ords are spot on. Our finds were a mix of trads, multi and puzzles.

We went out on a caching run today with ilook4geo and found a selection of traditional and multi caches, as well as some that were suitable for the month of January. That particular run has not been completed yet, as we have kept some for another time. Most of the caches were easy to find, but some were a bit more challenging which made things interesting.
Many thanks go to 12drawer for this cache placement.

Camping at Mt Compass for Easter we had a late start today messing about in camp before heading out at lunch time. We decided to attempt a few caches we had missed whilst driving around over the last week. Also to revisit some and attempt to convert to
Took 2 visits today as Mrs Felix attempted on her own but the nearby dog was barking and then the neighbour across the road came out so time to move on. We returned later together and once Mr F exhausted his search of all the same spots he found the cache further afield.

finally managed to get this one back out there in a new container. sorry for the wait. happy hunting. the container is a tad larger now so can have a few small swaps in it.
this cache is being disabled until next weekend so that we can sort out a new container etc for you all to find. Thanks for your patience, 12drawer
An interesting menagerie nearby that we would never have noticed if not for this cache. The lid of the hide is unfortunately completely perished here, so a replacement will be needed.

Today with COVID-19 requirements still in effect, but fitness still being promoted, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to head to Kuitpo for some mountain biking. We parked near the corner of Brookman Road and Gum View Road, and rode our mountain bikes north of Brookman Road around the fire tracks around the forestry area, finding the various *Animal Facts* series caches. We also joined a section of the Kidman Trail. We only anticipated to ride one half of these tracks, but we were making good time, and with it being a nice day, we continued our ride. We returned to have lunch, and then did a proper mountain biking session under the pine trees at Prospect Hill. A nice day out, and we saw a few kangaroos about too.
This was our first find of the day, just before we set out on our main mountain biking expedition. This one took a few minutes to look, before eventually finding. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and does appear to be rather exposed. Thanks 12drawer for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Having decided that it was a great day for a walk and a picnic in Kuitpo we planned for some caching along the way. This was the first we found and was in good condition. [:] The warning about the busy road was very appropriate. TFTC [:]
Currently the container needs encouragement to stay shut (in the form of a rapidly deteriorating hair tie) so I would recommend owner consider replacing it.
Not the easiest to do near dark without a torch Montana took me to the trees but the hint got me where I needed to go.

Cache # 7 of 60 for this Sunday down south.
The Parrot was on a roll to try and get closer to the 10, 000 mark as this last 500 seems to be taking forever.
I had a great day with Mrs Parrot heading to kuitpo and checking some trails that have been in GSAK for far to log,
I worked on Animal Facts, Are you kidding me and the OTD Jan series.
Yep sure looked like a safari to me

Out and about doing caches, I wonder where am I off too lol. Poked a sticked at the hippo and it just stood still lol
Traveling through on the B34 today and I was able to make a few finds in the area. Hoping to come back one day to do the ones on the trails as well, but it would definitely need to be a bit cooler than it was today!
Many thanks for the hide and adding to my geocaching holiday fun [^]

Found with Baby J Man.
There was a muggle mowing his lawn GZ but luckily he didn't spot us finding the cache. He did see us place it back but a friendly smile and wave and nothing was wrong.
