Found on our way past today having a look around the area while headed home from the Riverland. Targeted the rest of the TdF that we havent found on the way through, signed logs as GP or Geopenta. All in decent condition with a few running repairs. Cheers for the series.Find #7374 on 21 Nov 2024.TFTC equipe de cinq!
A whole day with no plans and kid free, so here I am playing the numbers game. I found 108 on this trail with 1 DNF, a few requiring maintenance which I have logged. A new personal best most finds in a day! Light traffic on this road, 3 cars and the same motorbike twice for the day. Thanks for the series.
Found at 12:04 pm whilst out for the day with Shonky and Southern Cross Caching

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 5 - Morgan area day. I have been looking at the caches around Morgan each time I was to the south on the Stuart Highway. I decided this trip would be a good time to spend a day and do what caches I could in the area. I wanted a ferry ride, so I went over the Morgan ferry for two caches the other side of the river and back via the Cadell ferry. Great to see them both in action. Next were caches to the West of town. A few singles, my favorite of the day was the Eba Siding. I was able to do all the Tour Down under caches and then head to the remaining Tour de France caches before heading back to camp for a late lunch. It did not take at all as long as I feared it would.I ventured onto some of the back roads today and was rewarded with white dust everywhere and plenty of caches. All of these were found and only two had issues. I did most of the TdF series many years ago now, so it was great to get back today to finish what is there at the moment.Thanks for the cache equipe de cinq46447.42 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & The 12 Days of Caching Yellow A#56**Albida**
Found it! Slight change of plan today, trying to finish the TdF series then grab a few others on the return home! 2 DNFs so far. Quick find here! TFTC!
Another 3 Stooges road trip with Cheezel and WayneAPN, tackling the TDF series and a few more close by. A great day out with lots of laughs, carbs consumed and general tomfoolery. Cache found and log stamped.
It's been a while since our last get together to spend a day caching with Weredunn4 and Cheezel1961. With all the stuff occurring in each of our daily lives and work etc, the stars seem to align today for an outing out together, targeting the TDF series. Plus a few in easy range, hey were are out this way, may as well do them. Plus the usual target of interesting, unique D/T grids as well as high T caches.Thanks for this one, an easy find.TFTC SL
Its been a while since weve teamed up, but the 3 Stooges (weredunn4, WayneAPN, Cheezel1961) are back at it again Today we are targeting the Tour de France (TdF) series plus any other interesting caches we might cross paths with.Cache quickly found and stampedTFTC
I obviously hadn't done my homework properly as I didn't expect to arrive in Morgan as early as I did. However, this enabled me to do a lot more caching, and this was one of the ones that I was hoping to find. I am thrilled to be able to avenge a DNF from March 2017. I hate those sad blue so have an FP as I now have another smilie TFTC SL
A few night caches after exploring some of the lavender trail with my geobuddy.

Left early in the rain, with the intention to do TdF series on the stock route road. It drizzle all the way and most of the morning periodically, until the sunshine came in the afternoon. Caches were generally in good condition with a percentage having a broken lid, which I didn’t have any replacement ones. TFTC
Was hoping to make a day of these caches but fell short due to summer lake. TFTC equipe de cinq.
Out in the mallee for the day so headed a little further north for the 2014 to 2018 leg of the TdF series. Thanks for the cache equipe de cinq!

A plan was hatched with Rapidlywild to attack some of the caching trails down in VIC/SA.
With the boarders slowly staying open we thought Easter might be a safe time to try since the QLD boarder was still too fragile to attempt going to the MEGA and it also looked like it could be rather wet there.
The group grew from two to six quickly after having a chat to GoodLook about our plans.
Our team “The Mob” now consisted of GoodLook, LíB, Rapidlywild, The Drovers and ourselves and feathertop joined us on day 4. This team ended up being very productive and some new friendships were made. Always a bonus in my book.
All logs were stamped with “The Mob” to save space and time.
Day 6 After finishing the On Your Bike and Around the World in 81, Ode to JLWE and Riddlers Roonka Rampage and TdU we decided to see if we could tick TdF as well.
All caches were found on the trail in fairly good condition.
Thanks for the hide and trail equipe de cinq and thanks for the fun "The Mob"

For the first time in a long time, it was road trip time. With COVID-19 keeping everyone at home for so long, the borders were finally opening and the feet were itchy for a decent caching trip. Plans were made with FurfacesLL to do a 10 day road trip across to Mildura and Loxton to do a heap of caching and we were excited. Across the 10 days we racked up over 4,300km in driving, multiple hotels/motels, brought home enough red dust to create our own sand pit in the back yard and collected over 1800 finds between us. It was a massive trip and lots of fun was had.
We teamed up with GoodLook, FeatherTop, The Drovers and LiB and signed most logs as "The Mob". There were a few caches which were signed as individual team names as some teams had already completed said caches, those will be noted individually.
Our target caches were the Turtle Series, the Paddle Steamer Series and the On Ya Bike wherigo Series, heaps of other caches were also collected along the way but our primary target caches were completed which made us all very happy and very tired geocachers.
Onto day 6 and back out onto the On Your Bike series we go to finish it off. Once we had finished that, we made our way to some Around the World multis, Riddlers Roonka/Ode to JLWE Series, the TdU series and even managed to do the TdF series! It was a big day. We picked up a few caches along the way, travelling along the way was GoodLook, The Drovers, LiB, FurfacesLL, FeatherTop and myself.
With the TdU completed much quicker than we expected, we discussed as a team that multiple groups had not done the TdF and we were soooo close to it. It was agreed that we would give it a crack and see how we went, if we finished it, brilliant, if we didnt, it didnt matter. We were on a roll today and we managed to get them all done !!! [^]

Day 3 of the trip and we were targeting a number of moderate sized power trails.
I completed all but 9 of this series back on first release but a number of the group hadn't so it was a trip back down memory lane.
Caches still in great order too.
We stamped the log as 'The Mob'
'The Mob' included:- GoodLook, LíB, FurfacesLL, Rapidlywild, the Drovers and myself
Thanks to equipe de cinq for these

Day 3 in the area, and after completing the bike series, we then moved on to the following series:-
Around the World in 81 caches
Riddlers Roonka Rampage Challenge
Ode to JLWE
TdU series
and a few of the new ones in the TdF series.
We stamped the log as 'The Mob' to save space and time.
'The Mob' this time included:- GoodLook, LíB, FurfacesLL, Rapidlywild, feathertop & ourselves.
Many thanks for placing this series, equipe de cinq, for us and others to find.

Most of the caches are stamped as The Mob (consisting of The Drovers, LíB, FurfacesLL, Rapidlywild, feathertop and myself), however a handful contain our own caching names or initials.
The series that we tackled during this trip included The Paddle Steamer, The Turtle, On Your Bike, The TdU, The TdF and some Roonka puzzles put out for a June Long Weekend some time ago. Plus many random caches that we passed.
2020 was not a great year, and the beginnings of 2021 have also been tricky - so when it looked like the various borders would be open again (without quarantine restrictions), a trip was spontaneously planned and I was able to pull together a number of my caching friends who hadn't cached together before to form "The Mob".
LíB and I started in SA, drove to Victoria and ended our trip in SA; FurfacesLL and Rapidlywild came from Canberra and The Drovers began their journey from NSW; and then a few days later, feathertop from Victoria, joined us to complete the On Your Bike Series and other caches in SA.
We filled our days with piling in cars, hard core caching, Adventure Labs, crazy funny CB radio chatter, some laughter, some tense moments (OMG some of the ladder and tree climbs on this trip were crazy!), lots of lovely meals and even live music from a band called "Kung Fu Jesus" - nope, that is no joke.
We had hot weather each day (well into 30s), so I am thrilled that I now own a car fridge to keep the drinks icy cold (loving them at about 1 degree celcius).
A sincere thanks to equipe de cinq for placing this cache.

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I departed Morgan after a hot breakfast, and we proceeded south finding a few targeted *Tour de France* series geocaches, before then crossing the Murray River at Blanchetown. We then proceeded up the eastern Murray River bank passing through Murbko, before crossing once again and driving along the northern bank. We then stopped for a late lunch at Waikerie after making another river crossing (by ferry this time), and then made our way east along the Sturt Highway to Barmera. It was a chance to see a few sights in Barmera and complete the *A Bonney Stroll* Adventure Lab. Finally, we made a dash through Monash topping to see the adventure playground, and then arrived in Berri for the night.
Another geocache found in this series, and this cache didn't take too long to find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Last full day of caching before we head home tomorrow.
fitzy_1965, the geo-kids & I decided to head over to Blanchetown to do the Riddler series, JLWE series and whatever else we could find in the area. Today was the hottest by far and, with no working air-con in the car, it made for a hard day of caching. I did manage to get to 10,000 finds so that was a nice highlight.
All caches were found quickly and in good condition unless otherwise stated.

23,297. Found with minniek during our Post-Christmas escape to South Australia.
This trip to South Australia was on again off again due to the changing circumstances in the various states we had to travel through. Finally getting a green light from all 3 states we headed off early boxing day. Day 14 of our adventures took us around the Riddlers Roonka Rampage Challenge series, the Ode to June Long Weekend series, the Tour de France series, plus cherry picking some other caches along the way. All caches were found quickly and in good order unless otherwise stated. Next find of the day. A nice quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, and then headed off to the next one.
Thanks equipe de cinq !!

Out and about geocaching. Found with superman_22, connor_8 and Jess. Never been out here before. Love where geocaching take you.
Travelling around Australia, after spending the best part of a week solving the Roonka puzzles today we planned to head out and find them and some nearby caches. Beautiful weather to be by the river.

The cache hunt today with ilook4geo had a few different aspects. We selected a few along the road to get us going in the right direction, then we followed a couple of trails that were of particular interest. Finally we started the first few of another series which we will need to finish later on. All logs had two lots of initials recorded on them, each cache was put back as it had been found and we continued with the hunt. This was one of the caches we found. Thanks go to equipe de cinq for placing this cache.
Out for a caching adventure with goingplaces2. The day included puzzle caches as well as traditionals. Each was an easy find, all logs were signed and replaced. It was a productive day, gaining lots of smileys. Found this one. TFTC.
Found many of this series some time ago so catching up on some newer ones since that time. Kids on the hunt found the cache and picked up topaz for the mystery of the museum. TFTC
Out for a cache with gridge98. My first power trail on my 3rd day living in the area. Thanks for the interesting history and caches
Today I planned with Nettieknows to complete the Tour de France series, we signed all the log books as NG9886 (nettie knows, gridge98, 8/6/19). Majority of the cache are all in good Nic, a few are broken here and there though. Great to think about the winners of the tour, can’t wait till the giro comes out

Such a nice feeling [^] to be heading back to spend some quality time with some much loved [:X] SA people
Today, Christmas Eve, Moneydork, Rex and I headed out caching and as per most usual Moneydork cache trips, I had no idea where we might end up
We did end up at Nuriootpa where we caught up with SnappyTomCats and grabbed some caching supplies before we all tried to find a cache at the Nuriootpa library but .... sadly the library was shut (Google was NOT our friend!) and so we missed out There was 1 more DNF due to cache blindness this time and 30 cache finds for me while Moneydork only managed a few .
A HOT [xx(] and HUGE [xx(] day out and yes, I did utter the words 'no more, it's too hot to be walking out in the bush finding caches[xx(][xx(][xx(]' and they were literally park and grabs too [xx(]
Then it was back to Berri to pick up Tounga [^] before we then headed to Loxton to attend the Christmas Lights event [^]
As I have been about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

Planned a big day out with JJ52 to collect the TDF series. We’d been worrying about hot weather but then cold wet weather came so delighted that Saturday arrived and was perfect caching weather.
A delayed departure due to forgetting the battery pack meant we didn’t start caching until well after 10am.
All caches found in the series (thus far) which was a bonus.
Lots of water on the road in some places, Ute is now filthy!!
Saw lots of wildlife, lizards kangaroos wallaby emu sheep goats but thankfully no slithering snakes .
Arrived back home after 7pm having found 126 caches, it is still beyond my comprehension how or why 860 odd caches can be done in a day.
TFTC and series. A few require new containers as several have perished. Good to find some larger containers on a PT.

A plan was hatched with Michells&hound to come and get the Tour de France series and today was the day. [^]
We were very lucky with the weather which turned out to be perfect for a power trail, warm but not hot, especially after the very unpredictable hot and wet weather we had in the previous week, which was evidenced by quite a lot of water lying around as we drove along.
All caches were found, some with brittle containers, broken lids and wet logs, but we were able to stamp each log and replaced containers to try and prevent more water damage.
We ventured off the trail a few times to get some other caches which gave us a different focus for a while. [^]
We saw lots of wildlife, kangaroos, wallabies, an emu, sheep on the roadside and dodged a number of lizards crossing the roads. Later in the day we spotted lots of rabbits who didn't like us coming to disturb them.

Was sitting around wondering where I'd be caching today when a new cache appeared at the end of the TdF series.
Problem solved.
After success with the newie, this was one of eight that had appeared since I was here in 2013 with Don't Panic Arthur and gadanga.
Thanks to equipe de cinq for all the caches

Another Puzzled Puzzler's Tuesday caching day. Today myself and Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rat piled into the Adder-mobile with Blackadders and headed out towards the new Riddler's series of puzzles near Blanchetown. Off course there were a few other finds on the way and afterwards. [8)]
Having finished the Riddler series we came over here so I could complete this series too. There had been 8 more additions since the last time I was here. Aussie Aussie Aussie..Oi Oi Oi. Found the cache too.

What an amazing sight after leaving the lush green areas around Morgan and drive down this road to the stark desert with no grass in any direction, just the scrub that dominates the area. We spoke with a farmer further down the track who told us they were shooting their sheep as the cost was too great to grain feed them. We stopped at a deserted house on the road and the pit at the front with the carcasses showed hard times along the road.
The cache series along here is quite good, with caches on each side of the road, often a bit further than expected. There were lots of Kangaroos and one Emu spotted before we go to the multi road intersection where we needed to look at the map to see the caches on these roads.
Thanks equipe de cinq for this great series of caches here, they were great.

Today we are only grabbing enough caches on this trail so that we are able to log the JLWE event as our 13000. Every time we get to a significient number we forget to count down and sail on by. Not this time.
All the caches we found today are in good condition. One was in a spiky bush that drew blood but all good

Found on my first day in Blanchetown. Being a fine but cool morning I set about picking up some local caches. I decided to attempt some of the TdF power trail caches I think I found 24 of the series all up Starting at the Murraylands Rd end and finishing at a 6 way intersection. All caches were in good shape. and easy to find with a few taking a bit of look. to be able to convert it to a smiley. All up I had a pleasant morning tackling this end of the PT. TFTC.
Staying at Kapunda for the weekend. Thought we would drive some country roads even though the weather is HOT. TFTC.
On a day trip to Morgan we made the detour to pick up the additions since we last visited the TDF series, quick find

After backtracking a little early this morning to look for some moveables we missed yesterday, we travelled from Renmark to Port Wakefield via Burra, looking for caches along the way. For much of the drive we could see many different aspects of the Murray River from both river bank and elevated positions. It was another really enjoyable day. We had looked for caches in this series a number of years ago. Since then more have been added to the series and as we were travelling close by, we decided to come to this end of the trail to try to find the additions since our previous visit. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache and the series.
We're camping nearby and I saw this run of geocaches! I just had to see how many I could get. I dug out my trusty bike & after blowing up the tyres, I set off. How many can I find? Thanks.
While in the area, took a little detour to find a few more of this series[^]
Cheers

Our day 6 started nice and early after some late night planning trying to identify the power trails which would support our cache finding mission [^]. We headed north(ish) of the City and were ripping around the countryside collecting smiley faces .
I had been eyeing off an interstate trip for some time now and made plans to head to SA to power through the geoart trails over here . I roped in my geo buddy Krabiboy to join me and we set about solving [?] caches and highlighting Jasmer caches that aren't available over in WA. Our adventure took us from the CBD over to the Yorke Peninsula and then back across to the Murray Bridge area . We were relentless in chasing down the finds and picked up as many as we could in the week that we had available. Due to the park and grab nature of our visit, the log books which weren't able to accommodate the ink stamp we had made were signed with the initials 'jk'! Fave points will be awarded for those caches which are considered awesome
A massive thanks here to equipe de cinq for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!
jinta29 found your cache TdF - Bradley McGee OAM - Aussie Yellow today. This is my find #7845 and find #105 today. I was able to get my name in the log book here and we replaced the cache as we found it. Thanks once again equipe de cinq for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

jinta29 and I are in town this week after many months of planning for a week to remember. We are heading to the Yorke Peninsula, Murray Bridge and as many places in between as we can get to. This was one we found along the way.
