Lisa, from our team, is still working on a dairy farm close to the cache. Since today was her day off, she wandered around a bit and when she looked at her smartphone, she saw that there was a cache 20m away. She decided to search for it. After a short time she founde the cache and insert our name into the logbook.

To bring a bit of culture into our lives, I am attaching the poem of the day to this log.
__Waltzing Matilda__
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Up came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up came the troopers, one, two, three,
Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag?
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag?
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
You’ll never take me alive, said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.

A quick stop on our way past today, cache found and is all good
Today freddo and I planned to head to Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park for a walk around to collect a few cache plus find a few on the way and back.
Total of 15 finds for the day.
Thanks for the cache

Nipped out today to do some maintenance on this one. Cache is now nice and dry, logbook and swag replaced. All good to go.
Trying to complete my calendar of a cache on every day of the year, set out to find some on dirt roads while the weather is good 
Somehow water has managed to get inside the cache and the log is starting to go mouldy. Needs maintenance ASAP. Signed log as GT. TFTC.

1 that I didnt find amoungst 10 for this planet run today,
Thought I would go past this one on the way to another lot of caches in the Kaiserstuhl.
Nice view but given the sour sobs snd spikes I didnt have any luck.
THe caches in the park were calling me and I packed it in searching for this one.

Mr Tardis was out for a caching day to the Barossa and surrounds. A beautiful almost-spring day with sunshine and warmish weather.
I found this one after a short search in the logical place. It took longer than it should have as the sour sobs adding a little more of a challenge. Some stunning views across the road.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache SnappyTomCats.

What a cracking winters day for a bit of geocaching. It was cool but the sun was out and a few of these caches were a lot harder than expected. Thank you all for the caches. TNLN. TFTC.
Just because is a great reason for a cache. That is a good view across the valley. Tftc.
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. 
Now visiting in Tanunda, today we set about exploring the area using Geocaching as our guide.
With a late start it was midday before we finally set off. Sun shining 18degrees but alas by the time we made our return it was drizzling for our last few finds.
We were also running out of petrol with the orange light on but we kept going for just 1 more. Lol. All caches were found in good condition making it a very enjoyable day out caching.

hevwalker & I had a cluster of cachers here and this cache was included.
The temperature was increasing & we were both relieved to find we didn't have far to go.
We found this one by the third tree, trust the GPS to take us on a scenic tour.

Was up doing some Rally checking and grabbing caches in the area as I passed them. TFTC.
Took a while as I made it too hard but we got there. Beautiful view even on a grey day. Tftc
Owl was out for the day with Blackadders and SA Sewer Rats. They were determined to show her a good time and Owl ended up with by far the most cache finds. This was a great stop, with a fantastic view, though Owl has determined she needs longer pins. Yes, you get a favourite point for the view!
Cache is all good to go thanks to SA Sewer Rats and Blackadders! Thanks Guys, really appreciate it.
Cache found and repaired, new log book, dried out the container and replaced some goodies. Why? "Just Because" we like helping fellow cachers, Tftc.
Found while out with a snake on warm sunny day.
We dried out the cache and replaced the soaked log.
Phoned and visited the Co. To let them know that their cache was now in good order.
Thanks for brining us here. TFTC

Thanks Hurtle for letting us know

Poured the water out at this one.
As a spontaneous diversion on way home we had not brought out caching bag.
Have cache containers, but no use replacing the cache with the sodden contents.
Sorry

Heading towards a nearby puzzle GZ, and came past here, just because...
Alas the cache is very sodden, drained the water, but with only cache containers onboard, with no logbooks we were unable to fix. Sorry

Geo-son still needs more hours to qualify to obtain 'P' licence. I have to travel to collect caches. He drives me around to out of the way caches that I would like to clear out areas of my map. Win-win situation. 
So today I thought I would head towards the Barossa and see what comes up on my GPS.
By now we we in 'head to the next nearest cache' mode. This was it.
The cows were in the paddocks today and not on the roads. After a few minutes without finding the cache I felt like asking for their help.
But then I spied it. Oh dear, very very wet after the recent rains. 
And me in Nancy and not in my caching mobile laden with maintainance gear. Sorry STCs. I have drained the water and with the weather improving perhaps it will dry out. 
Can the next person bring a new log and check please. Lucky I have my STC supplied 'write under water' capable geopen and stamp. 
Thanks SnappyTomCats. Loved the views too.

Just because it was a lovely sunny day we decided on a drive in the back blocks finding a few caches along the way TFTC SnappyTomCats
Found on our way home from Nurioopta. Such a nice area to drive through... just watch out for the cows on the road :cP TFTC SnappyTomCats!!
Great views from up here!!! Loovveerrllyy.
Finding this cache after a poor day of orienteering in the nearby forest went a long way to brightening my spirits.
Im visiting a number of trackables to bring tem 'home' and have up loaded a picture.

...there is a tree that doesn't have a cache.
This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Our first day of Geocaching all year. This was our first find after a lovely walk in the forest. What a great view!
After delivering the ute for modifications in Gawler, visiting a great 'certain' shop in Nuriootpa for supplies and a bakery for sustenance, we had time for a few smileys.

Because, because, because, because......, Because, because, because

A slow drive home on the back roads just because.... There be caches on the slow back roads and its such a nice morning. This took a lot longer than it needed to, perhaps I need new glasses. TFTC
Great views and a quick find on a very roundabout way home!! Quickly located the prize!! Thanks SnappyTomCats for the cache!!!
We liked the views too [^][^], just not too keen on the parking area [B)].

Easy night time find!
After checking there were not logged finds when leaving home, I was hoping for a FTF, but Silver has to do.
Have been out here many times before riding on the back roads, and the views are fantastic. Tonight all I saw were lots of Skippy's extended family bounce all over the road and the traction control light on the dash flickering on the slippery, corrugated roads. Made the find all more exciting!!!
Took TB for an adventure.
