On my way home after 12 days on the road, to and from GEOBASH Canberra.I found your cache on my travels...Cleaned away the broken cache and eclipse tin. Guessing that finder couldn't see the big black 3lt screwtop container in the shadows. Left "Harry" (the themed lid) on-top of the newer cache.I'm using geocaching as my tour guide also an opportunity to stretch the legs and as a driver reviver stop Thanks for placing caches for us geocachers to find TFTC Trigger_Fish

Headed for Sedan for a couple days geocaching, mainly working on the On your Bike series. Picked up some others along the way there as well as going home. Found 211 for the trip and caches were in good order unless mention in the logs. TFTCLogbook missing and cache also damaged. Put a new logbook in a mint tin back in the cache.

Touring around the countryside picking up caches as we go. Today completed the rest of our unfound OYB Wherigos on the Sedan side of the river. Some wet and muddy roads made for some good fun along the way.
A slow and bumpy drive out here, nice to finally get this one.

Find #4595 on 3 Nov 2022.

24-Nov-21
That time of the week for the trio of befuddled to once again seek more smilies. Targeting the OYB series and a number of others to break the monotony. The container on this one was brittle and broken so it has been replaced and the guardian replaced on top. Thank you for the placement of the Wombat's Rest cache Trigger_Fish find number 8719 on 24 November 2021 at 4:01 pm

It was time again for the trio of Geo animals to go on a Wednesday wander.
The trio consisted of a sewer Rat, a starfish and a BlackAdder.

The BlackAdder picked up The Sewer Rat and we made our way to Sedan to meet up with the Starfish.
The last cache for today.
Two of the geo animals needed to find this one.
Cache container was broken, so a quick dash back to the geo mobile for a replacement.
Stamped the logbook and placed the replacement container in it's hiding place.
It was a damp day out wandering the countryside.
Even the weather couldn't dampen our spirits. we had an adventures and fun filled day. TFTC

A great spot for wombats and indeed caches to take a break. A lot of work has gone into this place. I did not see a wombat on my travels but it was a little warm. They would be sheltering.

Thanks to Trigger_Fish and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Another great day out with Anymules in search of the gems we needed to complete the current challenge. Wink And of course having done that we needed to grab a few more caches to return them to the museum. Razz But why stop there when there was still daylight. Cool

Our target was the August On This Day series in Swan Reach Conservation Park. [^] That done, time for a few more on our way to Blanchetown and a late lunch. Wink Wow. what a great place to visit. [^] Double wow, what a great camo on the cache. Smile Worth a fav point. Grabbed a tb from the cache. The other wasn't there.

**Thanks Moneydork for this cache. ** Big Grin

Couldn’t have made the wrong turn to this one more even if I want to, a 20km detour and finally made it to the cache, excited to see a cute little creature. Cache is all good.,


Out for the middle of the day to go for a bike ride but forgot my knicks so decided to a loop around the back of Truro, Sedan and back to blanchetown. Total of 21 finds for the day.
Thanks for the cache

Came out here today for the Open Day at Moorunde Wildlife Reserve as they were celebrating 50 years of operation. Unfortunately we arrived too late for the sausage sizzle Sad but we did a short walk with one of the rangers. We thought we'd never get there! After our guided walk we took this pleasant stroll by ourselves. Enjoyed the birdlife and the serenity, not to mention the cache which will be earning a favourite point! Thanks

Took the long way round from the pipe stand cache and came through the park from the back, quite an adventure on a rough track, had to move one tree from across the road, saw some wombat holes as we neared GZ, loved the hide left a GC for the next adventurer

Very peaceful spot. I certainly took the scenic route today. Thought I could get to it via the road I had done the previous cache on, but sadly the gate was locked, so I had to drive round the block. Even though I was sort of expecting it, you still made me jump. Cool Too lazy to do the walk today, but did climb the stile and sign the visitors book and have a small nosy around. Now to find my way out to my destination! Thanks for a lovely drive through numerous puddles after yesterday's downpour to an isolated but beautiful spot. Took a car and left a light house. Cache #2632.

Out for an afternoon drive with Jack in the nice warm last day of summer!
Only one wombat was found while cache hunting, and he looked a little stunned !!!
Did see a few kangaroos, a fox, and several bunnies though Razz
Fav... because it's so muc better than a mint tin Wink

Muggle partner and I are on our way home after a lovely Christmas Cool spent with our kind hosts, Mr and Mrs Moneydork and after a superb day of caching yesterday it's now back to grabbing the few that I can while on the way home. In total, 7 Smile caches were found and 1 was even a FTF Cool

Finally had a chance to get in and find this cache.... one lonely unfound amongst an area of smileys! Razz
Getting in here wasn't a quick trip as muggle partner was watching for roos and wombats but none were seen.
Parking Harry we walked towards GZ. As I bent to get under some branches and was also looking in one spot, I gave a little squeal as something's nose was looking out at me Surprised [?]
Then I realised what had happened and so I made muggle partner bend (yes, that's a big ask) and come through the way I had.... next thing I heard was 'hello little one' SurprisedWink So it seems that you got us both today! RazzBig Grin
The things I learn while caching... I had no idea that this sanctuary was in here!
On the way out, muggle partner missed a roo with Harry's front end by about 1m and we saw about 15 others down the road where just half an hour ago we had seen none.
Always nice to finish the day on an interesting cache [^]

Found the nicely hidden cache during a trip to the Reserve. Note to DISK and any others who may want to venture eastward... Moorundie Road continues directly due east through the unlocked gate near GZ (and another unlocked gate a few km further on) to meet up with Murraylands Road (unsealed road between Swan Reach and Blanchetown on the western side of the river). Total distance as the crow flies is 13 km, just a bit further on the ground on account of the twists and turns, on a track which gets a bit rocky and bumpy at times. It's a public, surveyed road so no problems with access. As for wombats, scan the tops of the mounds created by their diggings (warrens) as you drive slowly past the open grasslands late in the day (you won't see them in the wooded mallee areas). Thanks for the cache Moneydork!

After spending some time at the Barossa Birdman, we saw this cache on the radar and decided to check it out. Glad we did, as we were lucky enough to sight a wombat ;c) Left TB. TFTC!!

We have been coming to this sanctuary a few times a year for the last few years in the vain hope of spotting a wombat. Today we had success! A great cache - fave point awarded. After visiting the cache we did the short nature walk and spotted wombat poo but no other wombats. Geodaughter always enjoys this little walk - even at the end of summer when it is looking so very dry. Thanks for an excuse to come back out here Smile

CPWanderer & I had completed the nearby BMT series.
A persist TomTom told us we were going the wrong way,
but CP was determined not to go via Swan Reach road.
After a short walk, we found what we were looking for,
but not so easy to retrieve.
Glad there were no other creatures sharing it's accommodation.
Thanks for the cache Moneydork

Easily found cache, which is hidden off a nice mallee back track.
Spotted a large goanna on the side of the road when leaving the area.
Great cache!

Didn't see any wombats but there were a few holes to avoid. Thanks Moneydork.

We saw a wombat, but it was stuffed (well, kind of) [:o)]Wink.

Unfortunately, didn't see any real ones today, but maybe another time. Our map shows this road goes straight through Twisted.
Thanks Moneydork.
