Lost Heritage #31 - Lamp Post Waterloo, South Australia, Australia
By Hurtle on 19-Mar-15. Waypoint GC5PT3R

Travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip. We are based in Nurioopta, doing a bit of sightseeing around the surrounding countryside using geocaching as our guide. The black & white tracks lead us to vaious GZ. Thanks for placing this cache Hurtle.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Nuriootpa to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Drizzly day but the farmers definitely need it. Sticking to the black and the white roads. Thanks Hurtle

TFTC nice easy find for our 920 cache

Found with LB and Jolly0 caching our way to Burra.A beautiful day to be out with friends TFTC

On the way to Burra with Jolly0 & earthlight. We stopped by here made the find on a glorious sunny day.TFTC Hurtle

Found it! Another interesting piece of history in this sleepy little town. TFTC!

A lovely cool morning for a change had us caching in Waterloo and surrounds.Yep we would definitely not have seen this if the cache was not there.Many thanks for the hide Hurtle

Decided I needed a day’s geocaching so made the trip to Hanson through to Saddleworth before coming home via Auburn and Clare. All caches were in good condition unless mentioned. TFTC
Nice piece of history about the lamp.

An interesting piece of history here, didn’t expect to see it, cache easily found and is all good

Today after my own two events in the city I decided to head away for a night of camping, caching along the way mainly focusing on caches yet to be found around the Goyder LGA, by the days end I found myself camped up in Caroona Creek Comservation Park. A great day out enjoying the SA country side and found around 60 caches

Thanks for the cache

Thanks

Nice easy find on a very nice day.

Found

Easy one

A fun day caching with JJ52 and Michells&hound finding caches in the area. A lot of churches and cemeteries were visited. I ended up with about 50 finds. Thanks for bringing me to this spot which I wouldn't have seen if not for it. Favourite from me. TFTC Hurtle

Today was a big day out of caching with part of the JAMS crew today it was JJ52 Allister w and myself.
We met up at 7.15am and headed off on an adventure to the East of Clare. We targeted cemeteries and Used2B churches.
All up we found around 50 caches each as well as a bonus FTF on an amazing cache at Spring Gully.
It was a fabulous day and we all had a great time. It was interesting to visit some smaller off the beaten track historical towns.
Thanks to all the CO for putting out and maintaining hides for us to find.
Cool old lamp post and history TFTC hurtle

A caching day had been organised with Michells&hound and allister w to head north and find caches that all three of us hadn't found. It was a great day for caching and we had a lovely day driving on some out of the way tracks and roads, through some of our quaint little towns visiting lots of Used 2B Churches and historical sites. We even made a smallish detour to grab a FTF in Spring Gully Conservation Park.

A different sort of Lost Heritage. Great that it has been saved.

Thanks for the cache Hurtle.

Historical hide! TFTC!

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021!
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]

Day 6: Time to head home, caching as we go.
Wow, I never would have guessed what this was without the sign. The cache was a quick find and another case of a place I never would have gone to if not for caching.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks Hurtle for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A great bit of old history. Almost hidden from view.

Thanks for the cache Hurtle.
Found on 20/11/21 at 14:20.
Find #14878.

Would this have been a gaslight? Hard to imagine there was once a little hotel here.

After a relaxing weekend in Burra Burra it was time to head home, the long way of course .

TFTC Keep smiling

13/6/21 found it

Found it, and this little baby snake

Nothing but day light . Would not have seen the post if not for the cache. Thanks.

Day 1
quick park and grab.

found with Mogni and Jacknor. We where heading up Carrieton for a couple of days and then on to the Flinders Rangers for 5 days. The plan was to find as many of the church multi's as we could going up and then bright and early the next day head off to the " Bendleby Ranges " 4 x 4 tracks. Then clear the next section of multi's between Carrieton and Rawnsley Station and of course a few stray trads that would help Jacknor's jasper grid. A straight week of over 30 degrees meant less hiking than planned but we still got to the top of Rawnsley Bluff as well as some other smaller hikes. The Rawnsley station 4 x 4 track was completed and by then it was time to decamp and start the drive home. Stopped at orroroo and cleared the town out before going back to the church multi grind. All caches that where found that were brittle or damaged were replaced and extra logs added to those caches that the scroll was full or almost full, except for nano's. Nano's are evil spawn and you can do your own maintanence on them.

Holiday time, a week in the Flinders Rangers with sir_spectre and Jacknor. We had lots of fun, walk and of course found some caches.
Thanks to Hurtle from mogni

Found it TFTC. Found on ground magnet adjusted. Found in good condition

Found easily, good coords & clues
Out with Team Waldron doing a few around Riverton, Saddleworth area today
Thanks to the teams who placed these caches, well done.
TFTC

A couple of days away with The White Dog Gang .

The bikes were bought along and we did the Rattler, the N E series and a few of the Reisling Trail. Plus any that were near the roads we travelled along.

Thanks to evryone who put out a cache that we found.

This was found as we wander this great country
While having a great day out
thank you Hurtle for placing the cache

Found after a trip to Burra for a few days, staying out in the campground at Redbanks. Took the interesting backroads on our way back home with a few detours to search for caches along the way. Thanks for the cache Hurtle!

Final day of geocaching in the Clare Valley and surrounding areas before heading to the Riverland. TFTC

A quick stop at, yes, a bit of history that would have gone unnoticed if it weren't for the cache. TFTC Hurtle.

Ty

Today we headed out to explore the local region. Good day for a drive in the countryside.

TFTC

A interesting spot to stop, truely some lost heritage, quick find on our little country tour today
TFTC Hurtle

Light me up.

Nice and quick find TFTC

A nice quick drive bye

Stopped by today whilst going past.
All good and plenty of logbook space.

Long weekend in Auburn, this was found on our drive around the area. Another classic piece of SA history, well done. TFTC

Catching up with some late logs.

Heading down from Cameron Corner slowly making my way south I found so many caches in Orroroo that I decided to camp the night and grab some more before I left this morning.
That completed I was again heading south.

These out of the way interesting locations are what caching is about for us. Nice quick stop with some information thrown in. This one would be very easy to drive past and not see with out a reason to stop.
The log was signed and all replaced before leaving.
Many thanks Hurtling Posties for the cache and information.

Went a little north today for a change with Jack and Sebastbat.
Found your cache along the way!
A fascinating heritage post!!!
Thanks for this cache Hurtle

Heritage lost and heritage found again. Shame it’s not able to still light the way for me. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC

Again, so much lost here. If only the past could tak to us.

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

????

Today we explored Manoora and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way with Roostaman and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

**# 17786** Found on the SA outback leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A cool fine Spring day for a drive around east of Auburn with Tassie Trekkers.
Not many muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache Hurtle,
***Roostaman***

Spent the day caching with SnappyTomCats in the Mid North...now grabbing some as we head for home...Interesting...
TFTC Hurtle

Heading north from home today to convert some unfounds to founds and explore some backroads. TFTC

For the last four years a group of us friends have taken our caravans to a different park not too far from the city.
This year we are in the lovely town of Riverton.
On day two we traveled up to Black Springs to help celebrate a fiftieth birthday and found and signed a few caches on the way up and then back.
This cache was one that I found.
Thanks.

Nice hide

??

Wonderful

Found with geo teachers checking out the area for a school excursion. TFTC.

Quick and easy find.
Interesting piece of history!
Looks like a slab broke off recently, so hopefully it will still be standing for a few more years.
Tftc!

Found it!

A quick grab on the way through. Thanks

Brodie and I went for a lovely drive tonight
Headed out after tea and returned later than expected due to a flat tyre at Riverton , which I had to change despite my exceedingly sore arm, as it was far quicker than waiting for the RAA
Only problem was that the wheel nuts had been done up so tight that I had to stand on the wheel brace to release them
We managed to dodge all of the heavy rain, thankfully , and find 10 caches over all including a cache with more than 10 favourites for this year's GC.com August mission [^] and also a FTF to really start the month of August off well!

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

That's a cool piece of history and a quick find of a cache

TNLN. SL. TFTC Hurtle

Proud to have created this ones hiding place.

Great hide. TFTC

Decided it was time to get off my butt and head north as there was a nice weather cell coming in this afternoon that I hoped to photograph in a nice location. So I headed north to a conservation park for a bit of 4wding, photography and some caching


So easy to drive past this one... I had to do a u turn as I missed it hahaha

Thanks for the cache Hurtle... bit jealous atm because of where you are!!!

A really interesting spot that I would have otherwise missed! Found with Dr Owl and clare007 on a backroads run! Thanks Hurtle for the hide!!

Owl and Clare007 were out with CPwanderer on the way to his 12,000th cache. This one was a great addition and pandered to Owl's love of history. Oh, and it was found!

Out & about with CPWanderer & Dr Owl caching around the back blocks today.
Dr Owl had the cache before I could even ask!!
Thanks for bringing us to some interesting heritage Hurtle

Nice find. THANK YOU hurtling posties

Very cache-worthy. As you said, something you'd never notice just whizzing past. And great they have the interpretive sign or you would be left wondering what it was. Thanks.

Enjoyed the history of the lamp and of the famous local on the signboard near the playground
TFTC

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Was working nearby and needed a break so what better way than to go find a cache or two. Loved the lamp post. Have driven past many times without even noticing it. Thanks for drawing my attention to this piece of history. Signed log and replaced. Gratias pro cache

Interesting history, thanks for making me stop here HP.

Quick pull over grab and sign! Interesting piece of history Tftc

Alas, it appears the relic is sucumbing to the ravages of weather and time, the centre section now missing .
Not too many people visit Waterloo these days, but the cache will help create a little more traffic .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Hurtling Posties.

We finished the Rattler trail in the morning, after lunch & a rest we headed towards Manoora.
What a great drive, from towns that are locked into the past & seeing the wind farms of the Future.
A good varieties of caches found.
Thanks for placing this cache Hurtle

Logging the find as Beta tester at placement - found this great bit of LH while exploring with Hurtle SL TFTC

Our second find. A good one for beginners. I guess we saw the light!

Found it on a quick trip around TFTC

FTF at 10.20pm. More to come later.
