Remaining caches have been collected, now time to archive this series.

Couldn’t see it anywhere

while wandering through the area on our way to somewhere else for a photo session we grabbed this cache
on ground
A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles covered

Thanks for placing them



*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Nothing in hand today.

Not today! Coordinates pointed to a perfect hidy hole but it was bare! Not too far from us, so we will have another look when we come back to do the rest of the series. Baby bear was losing patience today. We’ll bring old eagle eye papa bear see if he can help us

Nothing today.

Sigh! I think I can see where it should be. Thanks for the hide.

Thanks Lib for the cache and ongoing maintenance. Found on a hot but successful day of caching. Cache in good condition, find #5253

Today I had a number in mind, a required number of caches for 2021 and for many reasons, I was a little behind as December rolled through. Today was the last day to bolster some numbers for 2021 but the weather was not on the same page. So I rose early and hit the trail by 6.30am to avoid some of the heat. With a few of the OTD’s missing from the set, and several others that didn’t want to play ball, I ended up at 2.30pm with 9 more to get. Balaklava was not forthcoming so went south to Owen to complete the haul. A great day out, with the temperature ranging between 40 and 45 degrees from 11am onwards. Thanks to all the CO’s for their placement and ongoing maintenance.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

A quick find here today as we bike along.... TFTC

In Balaklava for some work, today we decided to tackle the closest OTD series, luckily we finished before the rain became more than a few spits.

TFTC

Found on a rather dismal, weather wise, day while out north after the February and April OTD series. All targeted caches were found and I almost stayed dry.
Thanks for the cache and series LíB

Found at 3:39 PM GAFF1.
A perfect afternoon to do this series and it was a pleasure to find the caches as the co-ords were deadly accurate and al of the containers were placed in good logical spots. There was also a lot of interesting information on the cache pages that kept us amused
Thanks LíB

Caching in the Clare region today and after doing the April trail, went onto the February series even though darkness had fallen. Grabbed my trusty torch and started hunting. Thanks to 3LG for this one and the series, good series of hides here.

After the demise of our planned trip to WA - broken camper. we have regrouped and decided to visit a bit more of SA. These mini series attracted our attention and put a smile back on our faces so thank you for improving our day. Tftc

Driving this section. TFTC!

We very much enjoyed this February series of caches and reading the various cache pages before going on to find them - great fun indeed! This one was a nice quick find once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and for the interesting information on the cache page. Greetings from Zimbabwe

After lots of dramas at work it was nice to finish at lunch time and head out on an afternoon caching expedition with JJ52.
The plan was to tackle the February OTD series and the Prime Minister series.
I also requested the add in of 3 multis as I am trying to qualify for the SFE multi challenge which is still a long way off.
We had a great afternoon/early evening out finding over 60 caches and only 2 dnf which both appeared to be missing.
The weather was glorious, not too hot and made for a super afternoon.
Thankfully no snakes were seen but we were vigilant as it seemed like perfect snakey weather. Plenty of birds were seen as well as a rabbit, lizard and many many goats and other farming animals.
TFTC and this series we found all other than No1.

An afternoon caching expedition had been organised with Michells&hound to tackle the February OTD series and the Prime Ministers series along with a few others along the way. [^]

M&h had also targeted three multis which we added to the list, and we also found. We had a successful afternoon (4 finds and 2 DNF's) which ended up extending into the early evening, but hey when you are on a roll... It was a beautiful day for caching, warm with a breeze which turned into quite a cool wind at the end of our day so it didn't bother us too much. Saw lots of wildlife with one huge paddock containing hundreds of goats running around...I had never seen so many goats in one place.

After not finding #1 all the rest were found, some more easily than others.

Thanks for the cache and the series 3LG.

It was time to ignore the heat of the day and go out to do a couple of month's worth of caching with ilook4geo. So the remainig caches still available for April and the ones for February were chosen, as these runs were close together.
All the April ones were very quick and easy to find and two more names were soon noted on each log.
Some of the February ones were a bit more of a challenge to find, but the run was still a success story.
Thank you 3LG for placing so many caches and for adding to the caching game.

It was hot and windy today, but caching with goingplaces2 was still on the program. Did a lot of caches and had a really good day. Thank you to all the COs who placed the caches we found.

Quick find while caching with Go Grandys.Yet another great trail by 3LG.TFTC

A day of epic geocaching that became my most number of caches in a day of 101. I was geocaching with gridge98 as we found half the Australian Prime Minister series, two OTD series for February and April, a small cluster of recently published Watervale caches that were FTFs, a selection of riding our bikes down the Rattler Trail, and finally driving finding caches back to home.

Ant guardians were found in this cache, and appear to have made a nest around this cache. Oh mighty geocache, they must have thought, building their society around such a structure. Thanks!

A good day out caching with Davidwazza in and around the are Clare valley area, a total of 101 cache with a few way point issues for some of the multis. Our main target was the near by OTD series.

Both series were mostly easy finds but a few took a bit of searching
TFTC 3LG for some interesting info

found with allister w. stamped log as mystery randoms to save space. 2nd OTD series for the day. All caches where found but 4 where found on the ground not in there hidey holes, so we replaced them at listed co ords in there hidey holes. Only 1 had a soaked unusable log due to the lid not been put on currently and that log replaced. quick find.

Found with Sir Spectre on a day out in the area with the 2 OTD series being our main goal. A good day out with approximately 80 finds and only a couple DNFs. TFTC

Just got dark and caching by torch just added another dimesion, found this one. On to the next. Tftcsl

Was up this way Hiking the Lavender Federation Trail. Left extra early this morning to complete this series before my 23km hike. Very dark and windy start to the morning with all but two caches found. Thanks for the fun.

Warning, Generic Log

Up around the balaclava area today with a Rat. Thinking we had all GZ's in the GPS. Nope missed this series so a find BFE style. Cache in good condition. Thanks for the cache and placement.

Found with FUF009.
Day 6 of an 8 day epic tour of SA.
Based in Tarlee, today's goal was some OTD caches, the 60 and the APM series.
Various side tracks to get other finds along the way were added in as they presented themselves.
The OTD series are so different in style of hide so that kept things interesting.
The APM was a long drive for few caches which we didnt really enjoy but it was heading in the direction of our accommodation so was convenient.
Again, I was impressed by the diversity of the SA countryside and it was a pleasant day.
204 caches found today. Apologies for the generic log.
All caches were found in good condition unless mentioned at the start of my log.

Find # 6233
Day 6
On the list was OTD April and February, then onto the PSA series and the big 60 onthe map. After that it was a look at and completion of the APM, long and bumpy, trail. This took us all day and just to the brink of the night.

A Big week was planned to travel around South Australia, staying in Minlaton, Tarlee and Adelaide. We cache along a number of Trails, managed to grab a few off the beaten track, some well known caches and the odd one that
came up on the map as we were travelling around.

It ended up being a massive week of 2960 odd kilometers travelled, with day find counts of 25, 256, 361, 318, 66, 205, 104 and 76 (yep thats 1411 for the 8 days)

It was Anymules Birthday and he wanted to go and find 'his' OTD birthday cache. If you are going to do one OTD you may as well do the series. So I invited myself along for the ride and met up with the birthday boy in Balaklava for a fun day of caching and chocolate cake.[8)]
We managed to find all but two and had a great day.

**Thanks 3LG for this cache. **

A trip was planned to do the February caches for my Birthday. Managed to find all but two.

Found on our weekend staying at Auburn - great caching weather TFTC

Out on the pushies today and decided to detour off the bike path and pick up a few caches as we pedalled along TFTC

Found during a day of caching in the mid-north in the company of GoodLook and feathertop, with the main aim of completing the O.T.D. February, O.T.D. April and O.T.D July series, and any other caches that got in the way! Most of the logbooks were stamped under the name of 'fabulous randoms' but I did get to write my name out on a few that GoodLook and feathertop had previously located. Thanks for the cache 3LG!

This morning I met up with Goodlook and featherwaite in Balaklava on a perfect Saturday morning.
The sun was shining but it was cool and not windy, perfect caching weather.
We had in mind to do 2 of your OTD series, Feb and April
We began with Feb as it has less days
All finds were found and even the contentious #22 which had had its replacement cache removed the day before. Lots of varied hides kept us on our toes!
We signed them under our Fabulous Randoms stamp
Thanks so much for your efforts in placing these caches out here 3LG

Today feathertop and I cached with FeatherWaite and what a wonderful day we all had. We met feathertop in Balaklava and cached our way around the area focussing on several O.T.D. series.

Our combined team name today 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).

Thanks so much for the cache 3LG!

I am heading to Jordan and Qatar as part of a university trip in a few weeks, and I decided that as I am approaching 500 caches (not really but after today, I am), it would be a nice idea to get my 500th cache in either Jordan or Qatar. I informed Doctor Owl of this vague plan last week when we caught up to do maintenance last week, and she concluded that I absolutely must fulfil this plan. The problem was that by the end of our maintenance run (and caching along the way) last week, I was on 397 caches. 102 caches of the 499 needed to ensure I could get my 500th while overseas. Therefore, Doctor Owl decided that in order to get my numbers up some powertrials were needed. So we headed up north with SASewerRats, collecting caches that some or all (mainly me though) hadn't done. I ended up getting 78 caches and having a great day.
This cache also had a lot of big ants living nearby. TFTC.

Today we tackled the 2 OTD series and many other caches in the area with Roostaman. Enjoying the views and the changing country side, especially the vibrant colours of the crops that just went on and on, especially with the green backdrop of other paddocks. This was a highlight of this area making it a picturesque landscape. Most were easy finds at GZ, some a bit of a search, but a great day out.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for our enjoyment.

**# 17923** Found on the SA outback leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A fine Spring day for the 2 OTD series and nearby caches with Tassie Trekkers.
Not many muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Lots of bright healthy crops and scenic views along the way too.
Thanks for the cache 3LG,

Great morning for breakfast at the big grill in Nuri this morning, was nice to meet some new faces and some older ones. Big thankyou to SnappyTomCats for hosting a great event. Was very productive afternoon collecting quite a few caches in the Balaklava area even know it was wet and windy, it made much more fun as a group assault with three lovely ladies, thankyou for allowing me to tag along Dianne and was lovely to meet Caitlin and Heather.

Found while out & about with Mrs SnappyTomCats, CaitlinwithaC & Jem on the chilly & damp Sunday afternoon...
Fun & frivolity was had...
TFTC & the series 3LG

After hosting a great event in Nuri I decided to go and find a few smilies with hevwalker and CaitlinwithaC and Jem in tow in the Balaklava area. Too cold to comment.TFTC

Tftc series. Finally got a day off to do them.

Day 3 of our assault on the peninsula geo-arts had us finishing off the two remaining series before high tailing it back towards the big smoke . Now that the weather was a bit better we might actually be able to use our swags [^].

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 3LG for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!

jinta29 found your cache OTD 19.2 February 19th today. This is my find #7223 and find #163 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 3LG for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

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.

Geocaching on another road to somewhere in SA TFTC 19th

12660. Albida33, LuckyL10n, fitzy_1965 and Sol de Lune (Team "ALFS") headed over to the Yorke Peninsula to cache around the GeoArt there.

After finishing all the GeoArt and the Mail Road LBH series we headed over to the February On This Day Series. This was a fun series which we had no problems finding all 29 caches - although one was very tight to get out as it had sunk so deep - however with a handy caching tool we soon extracted it and ensured it wouldn't happen to the next finder.

Thanks again 3LG !!

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.

#5770 - 15:37; Day 3 of the geoart appreciation tour of the Yorke Peninsula for the intrepid Team ALFS (albida 33, LuckyL10n, fitzy_1965 and Sol de lune). After a solid 2 1/2 days of caching we had completed the eight objets de geoart which had been our primary targets. We had then headed north and wrapped up the LBH series along the Mail Road, then east collecting a couple of caches along the way until we reached the 'On this day February' series. Managed to locate all of the 29 caches in the series, although some took a little bit longer than others to locate and/or extract from their hides. Recent wet weather also saw a nice coating of mud on the geomobile and a bit of a detour to collect the last few TFTC 3LG

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

Once we finished the Geo-art down in the Peninsula we still had half a day so decided to head up this way to grab a few more....and this series look the goods. Found all but one, so a good hour in area. A bit of water and mud around lower numbers made for a loop to get the last few, but all was good...

Thanks for another little series......

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

Spent some time visiting a friend today, at Balaklava, so decided to do some Geocaching while I was there.

Had a good afternoon, but came unstuck afterwards taking a wrong turn down one of the roads.

4WD is highly recommended during the wetter months, so I found out, the hard way

Still, a great afternoon with 28 for the afternoon. Am looking forward to trying OTD April when the roads are a little more solid.

Thanks for the fantastic caches 3LG, had a wonderful day!

Sorry about generic log. Doing the power trail with my GF Rapidlywild from interstate. Day started off beautiful then turned to windy rainy hell, but we persevered. Had a great day. Cant wait to do the other OTD's. TFTC 3LG

An impromptu dash to South Australia was needed so I could say my goodbyes to my poppy, and I stayed a couple nights with my best friend KBKL. After poppy's service was sorted, we decided a few caches were in order.

Apologies for the generic logs on the OTD series. We decided to go knock over February and April as they were close to Balaklava. We had no issues with February (although we did place a couple new logs in zip lock bags as the ones within were drenched) and all signed. We had to be weary of the slippery boggy roads as I was driving a 2WD and at one stage we thought it was game over however we found a dry enough route past the bog. We had some issues with the April ones (of which I have contacted the CO and advised of said issues), it appears alot of the bisons were on the ground and some missing completely. We helped the CO out as much as we possibly could however.

Thanks for the cache 3LG [^]

Found by Mary & David at 1605. Our thanks to 3LG.

Another great day's caching with fellow Geelong cachers Suscoe, during our time in SA. We explored the area to the north east of Pt Wakefield. The weather was kind, the scenery amazing and a variety of caches dotted the landscape; including trads, puzzles and multis. Along the way we had the chance to learn quirky facts about animals, interesting detail and stories from the past as we found the caches.
Our second OTD series - appropriate second month - February. Again ticked all the boxes, fascinating info for each of the 29 days, the research which has gone into putting the month together is amazing.

Our thanks to 3LG for placing this mini series.

Well a pleasant Sunday drive for Suscoe took place today in the very good company of Phetlern.
We headed off bright and early with a mild start, temperature wise.
It was a cloudy day again and there was some distant rain on the horizon but that kept its distance from us and so the day was generally fine. There were times where the breeze and clouds conspired to make things cool.
Our point of departure was Port Wakefield and that was also our final destination. In between we headed to the areas around Bowmans, Balaklava, Watchman, Halbury, Erith and Avon. We took in a variety of traditionals, multi’s and puzzles and we found many of the caches that we stopped at. There were a few that seemed elusive and perhaps need some owner TLC.
We discovered a good bit of history of this region and we also admired the countryside which was looking stunning with early growth of the grain crops looking beautifully green and the occasional sheep and cattle looked happy in the grassy paddocks.
Unfortunately Mrs. S ended up with a small piece of tree embedded in her head which required a detour to the nearby hospital to have it removed. Fortunately this didn’t slow the finds down for too long.
Our thanks to 3LG for placing this cache here.

Found with Ferret52 on a days caching around the lovely countryside of Balaclava. Excellent power trail, well thought out and in very good condition. We had a lot of fun doing this one. Thanks 3LG.
