Checked and found the replacement left by the cacher who logged the NM!All good.

Quick find with Beary Organised. TFTC TNLNSL

Found this with CherryRose. Pretty rough scrub. Not grandma friendly. Thought wed give these a try while we were here. Weve done 3. Might be enough for now. TFTC TNLNSL

Container is badly UV affected and crumbled every time I touched it and the log was so water affected you could not unroll it to sign it.Might be time for a visit to the caches to check on their efficacy given it is nearly 12 months since the last find.Replaced with a spare from the nearby Gotcha fishing tacke-reels cache.But there are not enough replacements in the cache to replace a lot so I am concerned about my ability to complete this series.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.Decided to try the first of the JellyFish caches just to see what I am dealing with, and it was lucky I did. Was on the way to do some fishing and decided to make a short detour to this one. Parked close by and wandered to GZ, and started searching. The obvious spot had nothing so looked all over the place and finally spotted the cache on the ground.Cache extremely poor condition and badly UV affected. Container crumbled every time I touched it and the log was so water affected you could not unroll it to sign it. Might be time for a visit to the caches to check on their efficacy.Have replaced with a spare from the nearby fishy tales spares cache with a signed log.Gratias Pro cache Fishy Tales

Staying in Marion Bay for a few days, thought we would try finding one of the power trails...and the jellyfish one it was. We found them all...woohoo and no DNFs, which were happy about! Great weather here, and enjoying the scenery and views in the surrounding area. TFTC

A big day out a coolish day but still spotted a reptile or two, heading down with Perfect Di, Mattycat and Jack the monkey we made some quick work of it however found it either signed and stamped or various combinations, some supplies were used some old containers replaced some doubles were found and some maintainance done as well, finishing just shy of midnight with a new PB of finds for the day 265 finds, overall a fun day and into the night sore muscles and a solid night sleep, all caches are now in great condition

A fishy sort of caching day where we all went out for some fun on the syp.

We all had a stamp or a pen and whoever found it first stamped or signed for all of us. ...
Signature may be one of our stamps or FMD, froghoppin matty Di, or frogs of mass destruction, friggin mad dudes?
The froghoppin duo, Mattycat Purrfect Di, Jack the Monkey, a ?ig brown snake, a black one, a few shinglebacks, some birdies, skinks, roos, a goat, some sheep, and probably cheered on by some death adders in the bushes.......... all found your caches!


It was nice to find a couple of traditional caches amongst the trail ones.

And a range of containers, everything from ammo can to test tube, only a couple of those rusty little minty tetanus tins, some berocca tubes but no nanos! Quite a few of the trail ones had gone, like the fish that got away, but some handy tackle supply stores along the way had us rejigging our lines and maintaining said caches ??
All part of the service!

We rocked the syp cache trails and might have broken some personal records. (Including 265 for the day)

All together a fun caching manic monday!

Tftc


Take care out there, have fun in 2023, a cache a day keeps the boredom away ??

Keep a safe distance - cache the countryside


Great of all those placing quality caches out and about around the country areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

We do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!

The end. For now...

Log sheet damp but able to stamp .wary of snakes as grass so tall and a sunny day

Another perfect Winters day to explore the lower Yorke - Solved these years ago but taken a while to get here - TFTC

Lid cracked. Such is the climate? Time do the “Jelly Fish”! Quiet day along the road which suits me Day 8 in SA after numerous trips were sabotaged due to you know what and its the first day it has not been more than a chilly brisk! The Innes National Park and it’s caches was high on the list along with several other random caches so hoping to tick all boxes before heading back to home base. I’m out on trusty treadles aka my mtb to explore the trails and surroundings. I’ve learnt theRE are plenty of quality SA caches - plenty to pique the curiosity and anticipation of another surprise or fun cache. Happy and relieved to record only two DNF’s today and on average most were located ‘relatively’ quickly. TFTC AND THE FUN and the effort to contribute to this fave game

Thanks

Hmmm. So what's on the menu today? ilook4geo suggested some jellyfish for mains, to be followed by starfish for dessert. That sounded like a good idea. These geo art creatures are very good for gaining numbers although not much good for the D/T grid. However, we went on the hunt and found all the caches in these two series without any problems.
Thanks go to Fishy Tales for some more pictures to colour in yellow.

Had a good day's caching today with goingplaced2 and cleaned up the jellyfish and the starfish as well as a couple of others. All found logs were noted with two more names before being replaced as found. Thanks go to the CO's for each of these caches.

Set out from Marion Bay this morning to get stuck into some of the nearby geoart. Started off by finishing the Jellyfish which I'd found 9 of on a previous visit. Then completed the Hook and Sammy Starfish and got a big chunk of the Boat before dusk called an end to the caching. Did some maintenance along the way and used all, plus 2, of the replacement caches sourced from one of the Tackle caches. Swapped out 13 caches, 3 eclipse tins and 10 damaged containers, and replaced 2 two that I was pretty sure were missing.
Thanks Fishy Tales for this cache and the series.

Day 4 of our stay on the Yorke Peninsula, staying at Port Turton Caravan Park.

Today we found the Jellyfish, small Fish, Anchor and some other lose caches along the way. Did some maintenance along the way to caches that needed it thanks to the fishy supply buckets. All caches found in good condition apart from one section that I have messaged the CO about.
170 total finds for today.

Thanks for the well looked after and fun powertrails, TFTC Fishy Tales!

Today we looked for the Jellyfish, too.
We found them mostly very easily and all looked like they were just maintained.
Thank you for all your work with these well maintained caches.
TFTC

Remove red spanner. Cache found in good condition at 0.0m.

Grass is over 2 feet high for 10 metres to get to the GZ. This will be snake infested, for sure. Should be disabled, at least for the summer.

Move closer to the road. The GZ is so deep in 2 feet long grass that it is too dangerous to get.

Found it during a road trip in South Australia for Christmas break. We stayed 2 days in the area and found a lot of caches !!! We solved all the caches few month ago.
The boat was our first target. We started it on our first day and finished it the next morning we found 142 caches and 9 DNF. The part along the main road was not our favourite on this busy day. Otherwise it was very quiet on the track.
On the second day we finished few caches of the boat.
Then we worked on the Jelly Fish 51 found and 0 DNF. Lucky the road wasn’t busy. To finish our day we did the Anchor 50 found and 0 DNF. The camp at Foul Bay was a perfect rest after all these caches !!!
Thanks to the owner of these series. Except few DNF we found nearly everything. All of them in good condition and the coordinates were perfect. Most of them are very easy to find. We really enjoy doing GeoArts. We couldn’t missed these ones. We will have to come back for the other one.
Again well done Fishy Tales.

Around this time last year I headed across to the Yorke Peninsula to complete some of the geoart puzzle caches. This week I returned to the area to do some more.

Once again I was on my own and once again I was lucky with the weather with some very pleasant days.

I also took the opportunity to find some other caches to break up the monotony.

In all I found more than 300 Unknown caches, 18 Multis and 6 earthcaches over three long days of caching.

Most of the caches in the geoart series’ were found quite quickly. Many of the containers and/or logbooks had been replaced fairly recently which certainly helped. In some cases I found both the original and replacement caches. On a couple of other occasions I found the original but not the replacement! I replaced a few containers and/or logbooks as needed.

Thanks Fishy Tales for the puzzle and the cache.

Nice quick find before breakfast TFTC

Day 201 (Tuesday 17th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Warooka today. A total of 26 for the day and 4477 for the trip. TFTC

All logs today were stamped as " Mystery Randoms ". The team was sir_spectre, mogni, allister w, Aussie M & M, JJ52 and Gizmo Gang. We did the whole geo art in the one day finishing the last 11 under torch light.
This was mogni's last calendar day to fill with 10 in every day. Since it was the 29 th of feb she wanted at least 100 cache finds for the day. We worked out that the geo art was a good choice. She wanted to do 100 caches and maybe some more. I thought all 588 caches was a better idea ( all the geo art ). I recruited some people. I talked to the fishy tales group and got permission to pick up all the caches and replace them. They gave me 300 new caches and enough new logs for the whole trail. Also strict instructions to pick up all the mint tins on the trail so freddo could recycle them. We found 61 of which 49 could be recycled. We ended up using all the given containers plus more and CITOed 4 milk crates worth of old/broken/brittle containers. Over 600 cache finds for the day. With 3 weeks to the 29th mogni decided to expand what she wanted. She wanted as many cache types on that day as well. We got a multi, puzzle, trad, earthcache, event, wherigo, virtual. We started in the dark and also did the last 11 caches of the geo art in the dark, it was a big day.

A big leap day with the Mystery Randoms. Sir Spectre, mogni, JJ52, AussieM&M, GizmozGang and I had a big day from a event in Adelaide to finding all the geoart at the bottom of Yorke Peninsula. We were tired by the end of the day. This one was found along the way. TFTC

Mrs Gizmo was invited to join mogni, sir_spectre, allister w, Aussie M & M and JJ52 for a big day starting with an early morning event, then some different cache types in the city before hitting the road to the Yorke Peninsula to complete the geo art.

We started at the boat and continued on to the other geo art on a logical route. We performed cache maintenance as needed and retrieved any mint tins that we found.

We had a great weekend full of fun and friendships. My biggest caching trip yet.

TFTC and the series Fishy Tales

Well I have been eyeing off these power trails for a couple of years but not sure when I would be down this way. I had a couple of days without plans over these holidays so booked a campsite, threw my tent in the car, put my bike on the racks and headed over to the Yorke.

My prefered method of tackling these trails is on my bike. I park my car amongst a group of caches then head off on my bike for 5 or ten kilometres and then head back to the car. This way I cover twice as much distance as necessary and is significantly slower than drive and stop but I get the added benefit of some exercise.

Day Four
—————
The main aim today was to explore Innes National Park but driving straight past the Jellyfish Trail, I couldn’t help myself do I had to stop for a couple. The horse flies were again brutal and I wasn’t enjoying the experience so decided to abort after 3 caches. I drove the car further up the trail to test the waters but again they were all over the place so aborted after one cache. That was enough of that so headed to Innes.

In the late afternoon the temperatures were slightly cooler and the winds were up so decided to try one more time. No horse flies but after a big day at Innes my legs were feeling it so only managed 15 on my bike. In total 19 FT caches for the day plus a few traditionals from Innes.

Thanks for the cache Fishy Tales.

I had made a start on the Geoart at the bottom of the Peninsula back at the beginning of 2016 completing the very small Sammy Starfish and that was all I had done until a plan was made with Michells&hound to come down for this weekend and have a good crack at some of the other pieces of art. It was also an opportunity for me to find 200 caches in a day as a personal goal. [^]
After an early night last night and a good sleep in our cabin at Minlaton Caravan Park we were up at 6am for breakfast, lunch making, gathering all our tech, then out the door just after 7am. After the rain yesterday we were greeted by a lovely sunny sky although the forecast again was for showers during the day.
We had prepared ourselves to try and get all the caches in the Anchor, Fish, Sally Starfish, Jellyfish and the Hook, 252 caches in total which would well surpass my goal. We weren't sure how many we would get, but were prepared to give it a good crack. So we headed down to the Anchor first and found these to be relatively easy finds. We did have a couple of issues by the time we got to the last section as there weren't many good places to pull off the road. Luckily there wasn't too much traffic around, although more than I thought there would be.
We had come armed with plenty of replacement caches and logs which we were thankful of as there were a lot of broken (original) containers, some very brittle ones that we smashed trying to open them and wet logs!!
We only stopped once for our lunch break and to recharge a bit then it was back to it. We were really lucky with the weather, only having a couple of showers where we had to put on the raincoats. We had completed all but the Hook by late afternoon and we weren't sure we would get them all before dark, but we continued on and found them all just as the light was fading. We were pleased with our effort and I was pleased that this would be my biggest day, biggest weekend, biggest week and month.
We didn't see much wildlife at all and were pleased we didn't come across any creepy crawlies and kept saying we were glad we weren't doing this in hotter weather as there were times when we were searching in very long grass. We did come across the biggest mob of sheep that were being moved along the road we were on and we had to stop for quite a while for them to pass. Not sure why they were being moved in the dark.
So we headed back to Minlaton, but decided to stop in Warooka for tea as we weren't sure we would be back in time for a meal at Minlaton. This was a good decision as the food was great with a really yummy salad bar. Arrived back in Minlaton, showered and prepared for tomorrow then another early night.
A great day, a very big day for me and my personal record broken, you've gotta be happy with that. [^]
Thanks for the series Fishy Tales, I will have to plan another trip to finish them.

So today was all about numbers as we headed out for a huge day (well for us at least) of caching on the YP. JJ52 was aiming to break some personal records (biggest day, biggest week and biggest month) all of which were accomplished and I was trying to get ever closer to the 10,000 milestone. Our goal had been to try and find 200 caches but we ended up with over 250 which we were rather happy about. All in all a very satisfying day of caching.
We got up early (6am is early for a Saturday!) and got ourselves organised, brekkie, thermos, packed lunch and check of all required caching supplies.
With the ute loaded up we headed out towards Fowl Bay for the first section of geo-art. We were pleasantly surprised with the weather which ended up being rather good in comparison to yesterday which was terrible. Blue skies and a little cloud made for perfect caching conditions. It was a bit windy at times which added to the chill factor and we did encounter a few showers but this was fine.
We took it in turns to drive whilst the other was finding and stamping both of our stamps and then replacing the caches. No leap frog caching.
We really enjoyed the first section which was on a dirt road with very little traffic and didn't really mind the section on the highway as there was plenty of space to pull off the road. The last section we did we were not so keen on as there was not any room to pull off the road and we weren't very keen on stopping with double white lines and corners. All worked out in the end, we probably just walked a bit further to some of the caches!!
We only had a couple of 'incidents'. I left (well the stamp fell out of my pocket) whilst heading back to the ute and I didn't realise until we were at the next cache, so we had to double back to find that. Then later in the day (I blame tiredness) I made a very questionable maneuver that left the ute in a very precarious position, thankfully was able to right the situation and luckily there was no photographic evidence!
We didn't see any scary wildlife, which is always a bonus in my opinion. Just lots of birds and sheep.
Sadly we couldn't get decent reception to listen to the football which initially I was disappointed about but as my Pies lost I think I was glad not to have listened to the torment!!
We only really stopped for our lunch break and a cuppa which was needed but once refueled we got some second wind energy to complete our quest.
We found the trail to be in better condition than we had anticipated (Anchor, Fish, Sally Starfish, Jelly Fish, Hook) and we only replaced 20 or so shattered containers. The remaining original containers in this series are quite fragile but if handled with care (not squeezed hard when opening) and replaced carefully (no have a big rock chucked on top of them) should survive for a while yet. We found many different types of containers, great to see cachers helping to keep this great series alive and well for others to enjoy.
Once we were finished caching we headed cross country back to Minlaton. As it was getting dark we had our eyes peeled for kangaroos (one bounded over the road but way off in the distance as well as bunnies, lots of bunnies). We noticed a STOCK ON ROAD sign but dismissed it as it was practically dark so kept going at pace. Whoa, suddenly out of nowhere (5kms further up the road) we encountered the biggest mob of sheep on the road, they were caught in the headlights and running all over the place. So we turned off the headlights and sat whilst they headed on up the road, we sat for quite a long time! Then onwards, we decided in the end to stop at Warooka for tea. Good choice, the salad bar there was phenomenal. With satisfied tummies it was back to the cabin for a glass of wine, showers and an early night. Sound sleep ensued.
Would recommend that the next cachers bring new log books and containers.
Thanks once again Fishy Tales for this great series. EPIC we are so lucky to have this here on our doorstep.

Ok. Generic log but we will add anything that is worth mentioning for individual caches. Will log NM where necessary. Headed out in the dark on an early morning start. We had planned this caching holiday so that we could finish the Geo Art here on the peninsula that we had started last October. We booked in to the Stansbury Holiday Motel and readied ourselves for the onslaught. We thought that we may only get part of the caches done in one day so allowed ourselves two full days. We ended up getting the remaining caches done in the one day and boy were we tanked out. Thanks Fishy Tales for all the hard work in placing and maintaining these fun caches. Kutgw

Planned a big day for today getting ourselves orientated to the roads around the Yorke Pennisula. Left our accommodation at 6.30 for the almost 3 hour drive to Marion Bay where we had a bite to eat before starting on some power trails. The puzzles had all been solved over the past year since we decided we were going to visit this area. All puzzles were found today. we left a few TB's scattered here and there as well. It was a lovely day, quite hot once the sun burnt off, the flies were very annoying especially those that felt like they were biting. Saw a solitary kangaroo and a few lizards. Did a couple of traditionals to break up the trails. Roads were very quiet with probably an average of 1 car per hour while we were caching. tftc

The weather’s very patchy today. We woke up to reasonably strong winds but packed up and moved from Point Turton to Marion Bay to continue our sightseeing and caching.
A shower has passed so we thought we may as well head out and see what we can find. Today we start on the Hook and Jellyfish series and hope that the weather allows us to finish them without getting too wet. We are certainly getting our numbers up with well over 1000 finds in the past ten days, but we are mixing it up with “non power trail” caches which have given us plenty of sight seeing as well.

After a review of the geocaching map in South Australia it was determined a trip to the Yorke Peninsula would yield some significant numbers. So, The Rats, Hoojar and I teamed up once agan to tackle the many caches on the peninsula.

We started in the darkness after flying into Adelaide and the next day set some personal records (550+ caches in a day) and milestones before bunking down. The next day was another massive numbers haul which resulted in a bit over 1,000 caches in two days !

Then it was a little more sedate down to the bottom of the peninsula and then back up the easterly side, ticking off a few EarthCaches in the process .

After that, back to Adelaide for some night caching, virtuals and more EarthCaches!

The power trails on the peninsula were great- quiet roads, some great green wheat and yellow canola scenery, coupled with some great company and usual ribbing of each other [^]!

Thanks for your cache- sorry about the generic log. For the EarthCaches and virtuals look out for an email or two shortly.

TFTC!

This was a trip that had been some time in the making. A journey from Wollongong in New South Wales to the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, in search of large numbers. Five days were set aside, and The Rats, Steeba, and myself planned the details out. Lofty numbers were floated; we could find one thousand geocahces... Maybe more! The world was our oyster, all we had to do was make it happen.

We flew into Adelaide and quickly rented our car, then headed off for a series of thirty letterbox caches late that night. We then set up camp, ready for the next few days.

Two days journeying down the Yorke Peninsular saw us collect 550 caches the first day, and 450 the next. One thousand caches in two days! The numbers were phenomenal, unheard of, and excellent! At one stage we found fifty caches in a one hour period! We worked ourselves into a solid routine, and managed to push these numbers without caching after dark. Incredible! We camped out beside the trail, ready to commence again the following morning.

Having reached our goal of one thousand, we rented a cabin and enjoyed a solid relax and beet, and we were then able to dedicate the remaining time to specific caches, mostly Earthcaches to keep Steeba (The Professor) happy, and a good number of Vrtuals as well, as we made our way back from the end of the Yorke Peninsular to Adelaide. It really became a Tour De Earthcache! If your geocache is such a hide, stand-by, as Steeba will soon contact you with our answers.

As is always the case with these trips, the company was the highlight, with banter non stop, the time went by in an instant.

We saw some amazing things, found some excellent caches, and had an absolute blast.

Ticking just over 1300 finds for the trip, you will have to excuse the boilerplate logs!

Thanks to all of the cache hiders for their efforts in placing and maintaining their hides. It was fantastic exploring this part of the world that I had never visited before. Thanks also to my geocaching partners, without whom such a trip would not be possible, nor fun!

Cheers

The Rats, steeba and Hoojar have teamed up for a York Peninsula adventure of massive proportion. With much planning and logistical coordinating, we had a great five days meandering the country roads collecting a plethora of caches. Our journey started with a handful letterbox caches before heading down the peninsula following the “Gone Fishn” series. We followed this up with an array of geo-art images that litter the lower peninsula. Returning to Adelaide we collected a gaggle of old and rare finds which included some interesting earthcaches and virtuals.

My apologises for the generic log, but thanks to all the cache owners and caching buddies who made the road-trip such a memorable and fun experience.

Day 2 of our 2018 Yorke Peninsula excursion.

Team SWAGJJ are spending most of the week on Yorke Peninsular to collect a bit of geo art!! As well as any traditionals or multis or puzzles that we might be passing by. Having a great time. Thanks to all the COs.

Day 2 visiting Yorke Peninsula from QLD for a week of caching with geo friends Waz and Vic, Ardom, Gcoven, JACS Team and joojoo57.
Enjoying the SA countryside and the vast amount of caches to find. All logs stamped with our team name SWAG-JJ
A big thank you to all CO's for the time and effort in placing these caches for our enjoyment.

Day 2 of the Yorke Peninsula adventure. The main goal for today was to finish the geoart and we made it! Anchor, fish, jellyfish, hook and two starfish! We also had time to collect a few traditional caches that were nearby. Far too much caching for any sane person... TFTC!

Found as part of SWAG-JJ team. Thanks.

Travelling down from Queensland with my fellow cachers Snickersallan, Waz and Vik, Ardom, Gcoven and JooJoo57. We have planned a week long adventure to collect all the geoart, the fishing line and anything else we can get. Thanks for the cache!

Day 2: Finished all the art today, held our event with some fantastic wood fired pizza, did a bunch of traditionals and to top it off Yorke Pennisular oldest.

The SWAGJJ team has embarked on day 2 and are enjoying the caching pleasures of the Yorke Peninsula! So much on offer and such a wondrous part of our great land! So many caches makes for a busy and fun filled day! TFTC

Tftc

Day 2 of my caching trip to the Yorke peninsula to complete the Geoart!

After a successful day yesterday finding majority of the boat and all of the star fish with 184 caches in total. Today was a wet and windy one.

Solving this a few months ago planning to come and tackle this series when I had some time off before Uni exams!

Loved the series and the finds TFTC

apologies for generic lo

Zipped out to find a few caches before dark. Thanks for the series so far.

Day 8 of BarnZy and Cravo’s trip from Perth to Adelaide

Today we completed the Fishy Tales Geoart on the bottom of the Yorke Peninsula.

Based in Warooka for two days we had caches our way down the Gone fishing series the day before so decided to get stuck into the geoart puzzles today. The puzzles were quite easy and monotonous to solve, but a great reward for a huge effort to solve them all.

We had a great time driving from cache to cache, and have really enjoyed the last two days caching the Yorke Peninsula. Something that has been a pipe dream of mine for some time. I’m so glad we were able to make it a reality.

I would like to thank the team behind the Fishy tales name who would have spend many hours planning, organising and setting up this great series for us to go and find. A big thank you.

Thanks for a great couple of days on the Peninsula, were gonna have a final crack at cleaning all of the Main powertrail caches up on our way to Port Augusta for our return leg home to Perth.

Day 8 of the Perth to Adelaide trip where we started in Warooka and ended in Warooka.

Today was the day, the second main reason for the trip over, the start of the Geo Art trails on the peninsula. We had over 1400 caches saved off line and a variety of others to now find in the next 3 days prior to starting the drive home

We had planned this for quite some time and until we broke it down for caches to be found v hours in a day the thought of how long the days would be didn’t cross the minds until the night before.

Once we realised that it was going to be some full on 12 hour days we were up at the crack of dawn each day energised with a good nights sleep, phones fully charged and looking forward to the day ahead.

Today was like yesterday very repetitive drive 200mt Park, get out, find cache, log cache, get back into car, load next cache, repeat...... obviously though that process there were a few changes to that order when we struggled to find the cache however most were just like that.

We were lucky enough or unlucky enough to have one of the warmest streaks or weather in Adelaide in April ever with the temp above 33 for 3 consecutive days. On the peninsula it was up to 37 for the best part of the day.

Fishy Tales We found your cache JellyFish38 thanks for placing this power trail for myself and others to find. It’s large scale trails like this that we have travelled for.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. [:(!] I like it. Another one off the list. TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH Fishy Tales [^]

Found while caching with mogni.

It was now mid afternoon of Day 2 and we were still on on the bitumen road. I would hate to do these ones on a busy holiday as there was not always good spots to pull off.
I was lucky to be with Goodlook as she was driving and I could jump out and quickly grab these ones. Lucky they were all easy finds and thanks to recent maintenance all in good condition.

244 caches today and we signed them under our Fabulous Randoms stamp
Thanks so much for your efforts in placing these caches out here

Found whilst on the Fabulously Random caching trip with my awesome buddy feathertop - from St Arnaud, Victoria to the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia with many, many random caching stops in between. [^] Today we focussed on a few random caches, completing the rest of the Boat, Sammy Starfish, Hook, JellyFish and a handful of Gone Fishn' - another huge day, but most enjoyable with a friend!

Our combined team name whilst on this trip was "Fabulous Randoms" and that is how the 'millions' of log books have been stamped (bar a few with our actual caching names in them).

We did replace a few caches on the various powertrails with the COs permission - due to caches that were broken, missing/lost in the copious amounts of undergrowth.

What a fantastic trip despite me having some GPSr dramas [:(!]....thank goodness for GSAK and being able to manually log finds. We encountered friendly flies, a brown snake up close and personal, hilarious moments, extremely sore muscles, some crazy driving decisions and loads of caches found on this adventure.

Thanks so much for the cache Fishy Tales!

Today we completed the Boat Geoart series as well as the Sammy Starfish and Hook series. We then made a start on the JellyFish series with Roostaman. Some were quick finds others required some searching. We replaced and repaired caches along the way. We enjoyed the back roads and a good time was had.

We appreciate the time and effort gone into placing this series for our enjoyment.

A perfect Spring day for more of the Yorke geoart trails with Tassie Trekkers.
Hardly any muggles around on these roads, and mostly good quick finds.
There was a few cracked, broken and wet containers that have been replaced.
Thanks for the cache and the series Fishy Tales,

Aussie Mary and I decided we needed a few days away grabbing a few caches, focussing on Multies and Earthcaches with the odd traditional and puzzle thrown in for good measure. Obviously this met the requirements so off we went on a cache hunt.
Another day, another piece of geoart. generally these were in reasonable condition, a few replaced as we went.
Thanks for the adventure from mogni

Day 4, half sick we hit the road again. Big day today. And lots and lots of caches, some caches need some tlc, tftc, sl, tnln.

Day 4 of hitting the power trails with MR Jackylegs. We managed to grab the last 290 of the Gone Fishin Series even though the tracks were very muddy and slippery today.Like the last couple of days we replaced and repaired as we went along. With all 868 fishes caught we made a start on the geoart and we managed to get about 254 of them today and hopefully have them finished in the next 2 days. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing the caches..

Found with Jackylegs44 and Oohyeh

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.

TFTC Fishy Tales.

Fishy Tales, I found your cache JellyFish38 on 25/4/17.
This is my find #3761 and find #284 today.

Day 2 of our mammoth week begun with a very early start to try and grab some caches before the Anzac Dawn Service in Warooka . We were in full geocaching beast mode today and signing cache logs like they were in short supply [^].

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 Fishy Tales for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!

jinta29 found your cache JellyFish38 today. This is my find #6911 and find #283 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 Fishy Tales for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

Found during a caching foray over the Easter break to tackle the YP JellyFish series. Thanks for the cache Fishy Tales!

Here I was at the end of today's JellyFishing expedition
Last Jelly found,
it was time to go and find some more traditional caches nearby

Yorke Peninsula 2016. This weekend I joined Fitzy_1965, Sol de Lune and Luckyl10n for a six day trip to the South Australian Yorke Peninsula to get all of the geo art puzzles at the southern tip area. We had a great weekend and apart from about five DNFs were overall very successful. The trip started on Wednesday after work when Fitzy and I jumped in the car and drove to Narrandera for the night. The next day was a long day of driving to Adelaide via Balranald, Murrayville, Pinneroo and Tailem Bend. On Friday Fitzy and I went to Adelaide airport to collect Sol de Lune and Luckyl10n before heading to Port Wakefield and down the Peninsula to get started on the art. Thee days of art later we were all done by lunchtime on Sunday so went looking for another few short series near Port Wakefield. The trip ended with a two day drive home with all four of us via Mildura and Balranald. A fantastic weekend and I cannot wait till we can do another trip !

Thanks.

#5466 - 12:16; Day 2 of Team ALFS (albida 33, LuckyL10n, fitzy_1965 and Sol de lune) geoart appreciation tour of the Yorke Peninsula. After collecting a shark and a starfish on day 1, we hauled in the anchor to start the day before reeling in a smallish fish. It was now on to the jelly fish. Again, we managed to locate all of the caches in this piece of geoart except for #13, which is just unlucky I guess, with most of the finds easily achieved. TFTC Fishy Tales

Yorke Peninsula trip with albida33, Luckyl10n, fitzy_1965. Logs were signed as ALFS.

After completing the Fish, we moved onto the JellyFish. Another good day but with a few DNF's during the day. Most of the finds were quickly in hand, but of course there were the odd ones where it took all 4 of us searching. A good weekend of caching a good time had by all.

Thanks to Fishy Tales for setting everything up.

12356. Albida33, LuckyL10n, fitzy_1965 and Sol de Lune (Team "ALFS") headed over to the Yorke Peninsula to cache around the GeoArt there.

Continuing along the GeoArt series with Team ALFS. So here we are finally at the main event we had planned for for over six months. Over the next three days we visited each of the 588 Puzzles - in between the odd non-GeoArt caches - for 581 finds and 7 DNFs which we are pretty sure in all cases are missing in action for various reasons - some quite unlucky like the car accident right on one GZ. Most were quick finds but of course there were the ones that took that extra searching to reveal the hidey hole.

Thanks Fishy Tales !! Awesome fun was had by us all !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Sammy Starfish, Hook, and now JellyFish, a very busy but fun day finding the hides.

Many thanks to Fishy Tails for all the hard work in setting up such an amazing collection of Geo-art!

A quick and easy drive by as we cache our way around this series. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

You gotta love sharks.

We heard the sealife on the Yorke Peninsula can be quite artistic, so today in the good company of fellow geo fisherpersons Suscoe, we dipped a toe in the water and found a few free-swimming marine animals consisting of a gelatinous umbrella-shaped bell and trailing tentacles.

Our thanks to Fishy Tales for creating this work of geo-art.

2nd day of Bazinga01 and Arkbell80's S.A. caching adventure. Today we started at 8:30 in the morning at Sammy Starfish then onto Hook stopped in Marion Bay for some lunch then we tackled Sally Starfish and then half of the FT series. We stopped for dinner and went back to the Howling Dog for another great parma. After dinner we completed the Fish, Anchor and the rest of the FT series, throughout the day we also grabbed a couple of traditional caches. We finished all of the mystery caches at about 11.30 pm, what a great series, now back to Corny Point for the night and then back to Melbourne tomorrow. Thanks for all the hard work gone into these caches.

My apologies for the repetitive log entries but I’m sure you would understand why.
Day 2
Arkbell80 and I had seen these shapes on the map earlier in our caching career. I had been in awe of people attempting this many caches in only 2 days but in the words of Barnabus "Barney" Stinson (How I Met Your Mother) we thought, "Challenge accepted". We would like to have said we did hours of preparation with weeks of training for such an event but it ended up quite the opposite.

We decided to fly over from Melbourne so we could start fresh. After checking into the Corny Point Caravan Park (Base of Operations) we completed the "Boat" in a few hours on day 1. We then decided to complete Sammy Starfish, Hook, Jelly Fish, Sally Starfish, the Shark, Fish and Anchor on day 2. We started our caching day a little after 8:30am and finish the day around 11:30pm with dinner in between at the Howling Dog (Great Parma BTW). Alternating between driving and hunting helped keep us warm. Luckily on our second day the sun was out and our feet stayed dry. After 151 caches down on the first day we didn’t like our chances of finishing all remaining 437 caches today. In all, across the 2 days we spent around 19 hours of caching time with an average of about 1 cache every 2 minutes (drive, stop, find and get back in the car). This being said, the coordinates were very close to spot on for most of the caches and in a lot of instances we could see the cache or where it would be as we approached. Night caching, having it’s draw backs in some instances, was also easier for some parts of the series when you know what you’re looking for. Kangaroos hopping around at night didn’t prove much of a threat either because we rarely were driving fast or far enough to hit them. We did see a fair few though.

Thank you to Fishy Tales for creating and maintaining this incredible series. The whole experience from leaving Melbourne to arriving back home has been enjoyable.

Apologies for the generic logs.

Another caching day after completing all on the Yorke Highway as we swing north towards Corny Point. This was a nice quiet road although nowhere to get off it on corners and we progressed quite well along these caches, although the caches were on the wrong side of the road. It had been very windy and wet at times, but so far the weather hadn't put a dampener on our activities.

We found all of this Fish Series easy to find, with the odd one just a bit harder.

Thanks for the overall series of caches here Fishy Tales.

On this occassion, I am doing a generic log. Wow, Jellyfish all over. Starting to go a bit gaga - have we been down this road before.... Oh no... Not this one... but I think we have been up there at some time. And so it goes. I have travelled from Queensland to meet up with Muff1 for a Geocaching extravaganza on the beautiful Yorke Peninsular. Our goal to Cache, Cache and Cache. Each day our "finds" have been growing in number, some days more productive then others. We have also been careful to take time to appreciate the natural wonder of the areas we have visited. The variety of caches was interesting, some very clever, some the quick grab they were designed to be. A big thank you to all of the dedicated Cache placers who have made this possible.

First we must appologise for the generic logs.

We came to Yorke Peninsular with Speedmistress who hails from Queensland to cache our little hearts out and this we are doing.

We solved loads of puzzles prior to coming and with all the earth, multi, trads and puzzles there are here we were never lacking in variety.

When we found caches that needed repair we have done our best to do what was possible, unfortunately we have now rum out of spare containers, so no more repairs can be done. We have enjoyed the scenery, the walks, the animal life and the challenges that was encountered while traveling the Peninsular. Not all the caches have been attempted due to time restraints but those have been earmarked for future visits.
We also would like to thank Speedmistress for supplying our geocaching chariot.
A huge thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches for us to enjoy.

Found with Zobo04, BorisB&Natasha, BountyTrackers, KTCvic and DeJaVu.
What a great time was had over our Easter weekend getaway to The Yorke Peninsula.
Lots of caches, laughs and plenty of fun times .
A huge thanks to all involved with these caches, it is very much appreciated.
Sorry for the late logs, life gets in the way sometimes. . TFTC

On Easter weekend I went to South Australia with KTCvic, zobo04, Gonefishin07, BorisB&Natasha, De Ja Vu and Bounty Trackers.

Everyone had a great time there finding 471 caches in 24 hours. Finding a total of 640 throughout the weekend that we were staying up there. All the caches were well hidden and some were difficult and some were easy to find. We had great time trying to be the person to find the cache before the others. Surprising us on Easter Sunday morning the Easter bunny had visited us in the night.

Thanks for all of the wonderful caches.

Easter Weekend - Yorke Peninsular - 3000kms - 640 caches - 4000 cache milestone.

After discussions with Gonefishen07 and Bounty Trackers a plan was hatched to visit the Yorke Peninsular to tackle the fish geo art over Easter. We set out Thursday lunchtime heading to Bordertown, a side trip to Minyip to check out Coopers Crossing was made. Friday we turned off at Murray Bridge and headed to Gawlar to check out Gawlar's Fort Knox, we had lunch at Port Wakefield before heading down to Marion Bay to meet everyone. The group Geo Nerds comprise of Gonefishen07, Zobo04, Bounty Trackers, KTCvic, de ja vu, Velocachu and BorisB&Natasha. We cached locally on Friday afternoon and hit the powertrails in earnest on Saturday where we finished on Sunday lunchtime. We then visited a number of caches on the coast to see some magnificent views. Monday saw us depart Marion Bay heading up to Balranald through Renmark grabbing a cache in three states in one day! A detour to Tocumwal then the drive back to Melbourne saw a fantastic weekend end. Thank you to Leesa, Zoe, Ash, Rob, Kate and Sioux for the fun, frivolity and friendship that made the weekend so great!

Saturday saw us having a real crack at the Geo Art power trails. Starting at Hook then Jellyfish, we moved across to Fish before starting some of Fish Tales. Heading back to HQ for lunch we then completed Sammy Starfish and majority of Boat before once again going back to HQ for dinner. We tackled Sally Starfish and some more of Fish Tales in darkness before calling it quits for the night. We managed 470 caches in the 24 hour period.

Thank you for all the placers and cache owners we had a fantastic time!!!

It was with great excitement that I headed to South Australia with the Geo Nerds consisting of Gonefishen07, Bounty Trackers, KTCvic, de ja vu, Zobo04 & Velocachu.
I have never cached outside of Victoria, nor in a group and I was really looking forward to it.
Every single one of us achieved a very memorable milestone made even more special because they were achieved with very special friends.
As we worked through each geo art I was amazed how quickly we all fell into a rhythm like well oiled machines, finding more caches in a day than I had ever thought possible.
Thank you so much Fishy Tales for the time and effort it must have taken to set this up. I'm sure it enables many groups like ours to get together, have lots and lots of fun and form life long friendships, all in the quest for a little plastic container.

Hi there Fishy Tales. We found your cache **"JellyFish38"** at 10:31:00 AM today.
This was our 1st cache find in a caching run of 155 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 13526.)

Day 7 (and final day) of our attempt to clean up the Geo-Art on the Yorke Peninsula.

Today we managed to cache our way through some of "Jellyfish", then we completed "Hook" before retracing our path to complete "Jellyfish" before finishing the day off with "Fish"

We thoroughly enjoyed the caches we found today, Our time from seatbelt off to find/log/hide & seatbelt back on has been drastically reduced - we must be getting used to this by now.

Please excuse our boilerplate logs. We know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it really difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within 5m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** In general the containers are in pretty good condition, but the "cache maintenance kit" we obtained from Freddo & Team Waldron came in very handy to fix up 22 split and UV damaged caches.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A smiley badge if the cache was big enough.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Geo Nerds Yorke Peninsula caching exposition consist of Borisb&Natasha, Zobo04,De Ja Vu, KTCvic, Gonefishen07, Velocachu & Bounty Trackers.
Gonefishen07, Zobo04, Borisb&Natasha and myself Bounty Trackers left on Wednesday morning with one objective, to get Gonefishen07 cache finding count higher than KTCvic who was about 100 cache in front. We spent 2 days straight chasing caches all the way from Gippsland in Victoria to The York Peninsula in SA, where we finally got 8 caches ahead of KTCvic. The smile on Gonefishen face said it all ( I think the comment was made CATCH ME NOW Trenty ).

Along our journey we made a side trip to Gawler to get the multi Fort Knox cache which was on our hit list. What a brilliant cache. Well worth the detour. It will be getting a favorite point from me.
On Friday Velocachu, KTCvic & De Ja Vu graced us with there presence and it was time to start the Yorke Peninsula Geo Art Starting at Hook then Jellyfish, Fish, Anchor,some of Fish Tales,Sammy Starfish and most of the Boat, we then did Sally starfish, and the rest of Fish Tales and then finished with the leftover boat.

Milestone achieved

Velocachu 500
Zobo04 2000
Borisb&Natasha 2000

Thanks to all the cache owners for the effects in placing such a great series we just loved it.

A BIG THANKYOU to Kate,Rob,Sioux,Katy,Trent,Leesa,Campbell & Zoe for a fun filled Easter long weekend, I had a great time with lots of laughs, thanks again.

Found & signed with Geo Nerds, (Bounty Trackers, KTCVic, Gonefishen07, Boris&Natasha, Velocachu & Zobo04). This caching series was the focus of a fun Easter weekend. Thanks for placing this series.

We found the Jellyfish series while caching the Yorke Peninsula with richlink. We love the Yorke, but unlike the last time we spent time here the weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cool and there were very few cars on the road to impede our progress. Thanks for the fun Fishy Tales.

Found while on Yorke Peninsula with iluvtrekking. Fortunate to have amazingly clear, warm weather for duration of our stay which made for very pleasant caching. Found all in the Jellyfish series. Thanks Fishy Tales

Visiting Yorke Peninsula to do the geo-art and a few others in the area. I teamed up with Team Crackers, the Drovers & Micraparamedic.

GPS coverage was a bit of a problem throughout the day however all caches were eventually found with only 1 DNF for the day.

We signed the log as CDKM, to save on time and log space.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

Many thanks for placing this series of geo-art.

We came to the Yorke Peninsula with micaparamedic to join forces with The Drovers and Konie to see how many caches we could on the elusive February 29.
With a nice early start we had plans to try our luck at 7 of the Geo Art trails. Some of the hides were a little harder as the GPS did not want to settle but we were very happy at the end of the day we only had 1 DNF.
It was a great day out with all teams still in great humour as the sun was setting. We managed to finish and get back in time for the event in Point Turton.
We added our names as CDKM to save room in the log books
Many thanks fishy Tails for a very big but still enjoyable day.

An assault had been planned on completing the geoart on the Yorke Peninsula that had appeared since our last visit here. Along the way a few extras were picked up, it was a pleasant day with good company, plenty of finds, plenty of laughs and we ran into sylken along the way, who I hadn't met previously. Now that it has been completed, that is one hurdle out of the way.

Thanks Fishy Tales for placing this cache.

Team Crackers, Micaparamedic and Konie, joined us for a fun day of caching.

Had a little trouble with the GPS, sending us all over the place on some of the hides.
Most caches were found after a short search, and in good order.
We signed as CDKM, to save on time and log space.

Many thanks for placing this cache, Fishy Tales, for us and others to find.

Found while staying at Browns Beach. only jellyfish i found before deciding to start at the end of the road. TFTCs

Found myself in SA for other reasons this month, and McPhan agreed to join me for our third trip to Yorke. Caches have definitely proliferated since our last visit, and our attention was largely on the geoart this time.

A huge effort putting these trails out, but we note many of the containers are suffering UV damage. Had a great time collecting them, particularly along the tertiary roads which were quiet and bucolic. Favoured by cooler yet dry weather too, and far fewer flies and grass seeds than we remember from other visits. The only downside was the swarms of meat and inch ants in many places, but that was more McPhan's problem than mine! Still had ants in the car for days afterwards.

Thanks Fishy Tales for the series.

9728 and 117th of 204 found today.

So it's the start of our second full day on Yorke Peninsula. After the 313 finds yesterday it was a bit of a slower start today as muscles needed to restart and the rhythm needed to get into gear again. Winglen had prepared a mud map of the caches so that we could mostly approach so that the cache was on the left of the vehicle. I must add here that Winglen's driving ability is fantastic and he put us within spitting distance every time. In fact he managed to get us so close to one that I was able to retrieve the cache by just winding down the window (something we like to achieve every Odyssey)

This is our 5th SA Odyssey and our 3rd visit to Yorke. Love the straight roads and white rocks. Don't love the bull ants so much and managed to pick up my second bite from one today as well as various other ant bites and at one point infestation.

Thanks to all who assisted in setting up these caches and/or maintaining the - it makes for a great trip!

Thanks for the cache Fishy Tales and the outdoors.

We had these pre solved in preparation for our trip with Wilbert67 to SA to do theses trails, the weather was good for us. Some caches were a little more challenging than others, but all ended well. Some containers need a bit of love ans the containers are starting to get fragile. A huge thanks for placing all these caches for all to enjoy.

Found on a night bike ride with dad. 10 finds in fading light.
