A lovely cache hidden in plain sight.Thanks for your efforts

Away for the June Long Weekend with TheWhiteDogGang.We based ourselves at Orroroo and travelled far and wide over 4 days. We managed 1,500 kms during our travels.We managed to find some really old caches, one from 2001, and even managed to get all 9 terrain ratings. Not bad for 2 old farts with no coordination.The weather was dry if not cold on occasions.A good way to spend 4 days.A neat hide.TFTC

A LWE away caching w Team WaldronToured the mid north and surroundsSome great caches foundFixed a few as wellTFTC

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 6 - Morgan to Jamestown via Burra and Hallett. After a fun day around Morgan yesterday, it was time to move on. A very cold night last night. I did a few roadside caches along the way, but I spent most of my caching day around Burra. I have done quite a bit of caching in Burra before, but it was great to see a wonderful collection of caches to be attempted today. I even managed two sets of Labs, including a good walk around the mine site. As I headed over to Jamestown, there were a few caches that drew attention to the huge wind farms on all of these ridge lines. My last cache ended up pretty much being where I stopped to camp for the night. Into town for dinner tonight.As I headed into James town, every ridge and hill had a windmill or two on it, so with these two caches it was nice to get up close to some of the amazing infrastructure. Very ingenious cache container here.Thanks for the cache Hylands546472.17 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2012 Bottle Opener II A#217**Albida**

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. Based in Peterborough, we are exploring some of the surrounding countryside today. Thanks for the cache.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. Wow that is some big sun station. Thanks Hyland5

Always incredible how these massive turbines produce such huge amounts of power. This one was tough to open today

After making my way up to Caroona Creek Comservation Park yesterday and camping the night there my main goal of the day was to make the walk through Tourilie Gorge finding cache with 4.5 years unloved followed by the rest of the day finding caches around the mid north yet to be found before making my way back to Adelaide.

Thanks for the cache

Love these sneaky ones. There is a great sense of satisfaction at the ahaa moment. More great views of the countryside travelling along this road.

Good decoy

Easy find but difficult to open. TFTC.

A neat hide in a powerful location.
As mentioned before, the log was jammed inside - in fact it resembled papier mache and was stuck in deep!!! A brnad new log roll actually fitted inside above it - so we've donated one to keep it going for now. Hope that helps!
Fav for the bold little hide

Much appreciation to Hylands5 for hiding this cache on our SA geo map game board

Touring the countryside with Jack and Purrfect Di.

Geocaches are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S20+, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck!

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins... but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about especially away from the city crowds,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Trip to the Mid North with the geo-pup. Day 10, Jamestown to Burra.

Log is jammed inside, so we didn't get it out it we'd never get it back in! Photo log available... but will also be a spoiler

TFTC

Found easily with the spot on co-ords, otherwise may have taken awhile.
Nice work
TNLNSL
Thanks

Log was wet and not good replaced log sheet with fresh new log sheet ready for next find signed TKG TFTCL

Log sheet was wet and full so replaced log sheet

Was a bit stiff, may need replacing soon TFTC

Tough day at work

Sky is getting very dark. This is an interesting spot. TFTC

In the area for the Heartland Rally so grabbed some caches while going around TFTC

out For the day with (firesafe) chasing some rally cars enjoying the cool weather

After heading to the most obvious cache hide I soon had to go back to basics and actually navigate to gz. Eventually had cache in hand. Favourite point from me. TFTC

A warm day for a drive but were treated to some awesome views of the wind farm and over the valley, neat hide almost missed it
TFTC Hylands5

Geohusband was very interested to read all the wind turbine info boards earlier and was happily reeling off to me how much power is generated here. I was just happy to make the find and get back into the car and on our way. It was bitterly cold up here and the wind was blowing a gale. TFTC nice hide here

Was tricky bolt we found it

Well that was different!!!

TFTC ahh tricky

TFTC
WOW this was a little tricky at first then I spotted it & yes it’s small lol
What a great view up here amid the wind towers

*what do you do after attending a ute show in burra, you cache on the way home. this one took way longer then it should have and finally get to take it off the unfound list*

A wel disguised little cache

Out and about with Moneydork finding a few caches, doing some maintenance and puting out a few more. As they say "if it wasn't for geocaching I wouldn't have come here", tftc

A favourite point from me!!! Blends in so well!!!! Found with MIA and GrimsTattoo on a northern wander!!

Found It!
A quick find here and a nice view! The big windmills weren't even turning today for some reason...

Who, but a geocacher, can plan on having dinner in Jamestown at 6.30pm, 120kms from home, and leave 9.30am that morning and get home 7.30pm the following night after travelling 750kms.
We had a great weekend, viewing some great scenery, meeting wonderful people and, of course finding a cache or 2 or 3 or ............
Thank you to those who left a cache for us to find and make the weekend so good.

Well, it took a few minutes, but then, there it was, "in plain view". Well done Hylands5. You've earned a favourite.

Quick find as I travelled past. I have seen this hide before.

Found with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. Giving a favourite for the sneaky hide and view of the wind farm. TFTC

I immediately made my way to where I thought the cache was but found that it didn't contain anything pertaining to caching. Then made my way to where the GPSr was pointing and after a little hesitation had the cache in hand.
Have to give this cache a favourite point
Found with misschief18 and Bentley TB

A slight detour but well worth it, a clever cache in plain slight. TFTHSL

A quick find thanks for the cache. SL SNEAKY

Found cache in the long grass, so I returned it to where I think it belongs.
Impressive structures along the range and this close up.
Tftc.

Started heading toward home and there was this trail of caches taking us south from Peterborough, this being the forth and last for us today .
A great 'hide.' TNLNSL.
Fantastic view from this ridge line .
Thanks Hylands5.

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tftc

Enjoying some sightseeing in the area with JJ52 and decided to get up close and personal with these magnificent turbines, good hide!! Tftc

Out for a nice Sunday drive around the area and stopped off here on our way back to Jamestown.
Had not been this close to one of these windmills before and was quite intrigued by the sound they make. Loved the cache hide. [^]
Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here Hylands5.

found it.

Super sneaky Hylands5! Seen enough of these subs for one day.

Nearly 200km from home and 10 days after publishing I scored a FTF here. REally surprising considerin the number of geocaching orienteers in the area for the weekend. THanks for bringing me to part of the unseen infrastrucutre associated withwind farms, this is only the second such installation I've seen.

Thanks for the cache Hylands5. You've earned a fav point for the camo.
