Finishing off the Geoart and finding a few caches on the way home. TFTC

Enjoyed stopping for this cache. Would never have known that the memorial was here. That's what I love about geocaching. TFTC

Cute little find . Thank you.

Find 4750 on March 1, 2024Day#4 on Fergzters trip to the Great Leap Forward Event. Today we begin heading home but still 2 days of geocaching to be had. Love history cache in the middle of nowhere. All is well with the cache. TFTC hevwalker

GT37 and I are making our way to the February 29th Mega in South Australia. We found this one very easily as the locals were using it to sunbake on. It seems that these local miniature snails like to be anywhere except on the ground. After signing the log, we tucked it away a little better than found. Thanks for placing this cache for all to enjoy.

Found with Paddle Chick and Nanzie on our road trip to Adelaide for the mega. On our way to Victor Harbour for the night.

Bullertrout, Nanzie and i are caching our way to Adelaide for the mega. Picking up what we can in the time available. Nice easy find here. All logs are being signed as BT, N, PC or some variation of that. Thanks hevwalker#15303

Day four of solo caching in Meningie. My phone was on the blink this morning and I knew there was a cache north of the pink lake. I saw the monument, pulled in and found the cache without any gadgets.hevwalker, I found Albert Hill today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.* * * * * * *SAs Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Keep looking up!

Tftc how cool

Thanks

Found while heading down south for the weekend - spare note paper added for additional logging room with permission of CO - TFTC

Interesting spot -TFTC

Did a trip to Meningie via the World’s End Highway getting caches on the way. Also did some adventure labs as well. TFTC

Quick easy find on our way back to Victor from Kingston lunch mission. TFTC

Found this one on the way back from a 2 day kayaking trip on the Coorong where we kayak sailed from Parnka Point up to near Long Point and back over the weekend. Stopped by on the way back to Adelaide. Interesting history here, and another reason why geocaching makes you explore and see new things. Thanks again Hevwalker!

What the school s out for quiet some time quick find. TFTC

Heading off on another adventure exploring this amazing country.
It’s hard to imagine there was once a school here.
How many students did it have? What did they have for lunch? What lessons were they learning? What did they go on to do in their lives?

Keep smiling

Found. Tftc

Another cache hunt on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

Our thanks to all the COs for taking on this Geo-guided tour. We have enjoyed ourselves, but it is time to turn West again.

Look for the same but different

Nice sneaky hide on the side of the road, tftc!

Thanks for the find beautiful day

A lovely spot to visit found without any problems thanks

TYFTC another great old school site.

Missed the side track but it's not great for caravans heading south.
On a road trip from Perth to Canberra with a few side trips for LGAs. TFTC

Nice easy find

Wonderful piece of history.Pity the buildings are gone and all that that’s left is the monument

Quick easy find TFTC

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. I’ll leave the more interesting detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird or Angry Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC hevwalker
Find #8623

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Find # 6214

We are wandering back from Adelaide very slowly after having a good couple of days catching up with friends. As the weather isn't too great today we have decided to concentrate on lab caches and anything else that pops up.

We wish we had a dollar for every old school sign that we have visited since we started geocaching because we would have a lot more money to convert to fuel so we could go and do even more. Although this one is now right off the highway we note that has quite an elaborate sign for the school site that lasted a lot longer than the post office did and now there is no trace of either.

We often wonder what happened to the students in these areas and if they are still in the area or have moved off to greener pastures.

The cache itself was a nice easy find and the log book now contains our name.

Thanks hevwalker for the cache.

Out on a beautiful Spring Day for a Daughter / Father’s bonding day for a scenic drive with a chance of Geocaching Failure Success.
Many thanks for the maintenance of the caches to make an enjoyable day out.

Found while hanging out with Team Honda for the day

Heading home from the Mega in Millicent and stopped in Meningie to do a few caches. I was only about 100kms from home so my timing wasn't too out when it took me 5.5hrs to reach my home GZ - The cache was worth the walk and the detour. Lovely walk to GZ - TYFTC

Found at 18:25 during a fantastic extended weekend away with Shonkylogic and Southern Cross Caching. We had grand plans to complete swathes of powertrails and solved puzzles, but the weather slowed us down a bit. Even so, it was a lot of fun, and we passed my goal - to get my 9000th find

Friday, day 1, had us driving and caching from morning in Adelaide until the 6pm event in Millicent.

Day 2 focussed on the fishing series, wine bottle, and numerous other caches in that vicinity.

Day 3 was our slowest, due to the worse weather, but still a lot of fun.

Day four, after doing SFE series and nearby caches, plus those we passed, I arrived home at about 8pm, after finding my 9000th cache along the way.

Great to catch up with many of the usual faces, some others we hadn't seen for a long time, and a few new faces too.

Shonky did some shonky driving to get to this one. This was also our last find for the weekend. Shortly after this the power button broke on my GPS.

Thanks for the hides

I knew I had to pull off and had a car on my tail, so left the highway at the southern exit and drove along the old road to get to the cache, using 4WD to dodge the occasional pepper tree that has grown right in the middle of the road.


Uni and Medusa, Southern Cross Caching, and I ... shonkylogic spent the October Long Weekend in 2021 attending the Easter 2020 Mega Event at Millicent.

Today the final day we attended the closing ceremony, then went to complete the SFE series. By this stage it was lunchtime and we felt that our weekend leave passes were close to expiry, and relucatantly made our way home stopping at Beachport to fill in my final D/T square on the way.

We enjoyed meeting up with old friends, in these days of Covid is really is very special to be able to hold an event like this.

Thanks hevwalker for placing and maintaining the cache

Found on our way home from the mega madness weekend on a shonky southern unicycle without logic. Cool spot

TFTC
Cheers and Happy Hunting
Southern Cross Caching

A reasonably quick find. Thanks hevwalker.

Found with Sparrow on our way to Mt Gambier. Fun hide. SL & TFTC.

After walking past it the first time, second search was a success. TFTC

With a car not to far behind us we were extremely grateful for the old road to make a quick exit off the highway. We tried going forward after finding the cache but me thinks our Subie wasn’t the suitable car for it. U~turn it was . Lol
Thanks hevwalker for the placement.

Thanks for the cache Hevwalker. Thanks for the history. Cache in good condition

What an interesting monument and story.

Quick stop off on our way to Victor Harbour. Nice little spot. Tftc:)

The great Southeast Saunter with Anymules down to the Millicent area to find caches associated with the postponed GV2020 mega. But with leave organized and accommodation booked the caching trip was not postponed! [^]

Day 1: Today was all about getting there. We actually got to just 75 kms short of Millicent before daylight left us and we gave up and made our way to our digs.

A quick stop on what appears to be a very, very old road. [^] Never ntoice this spot before. Qyick search and I spied the cache.

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

After a visit to the Bakery, Butchers, and Foodland we headed out to grab a few caches that have sprung up since our last visit back in 2014

Mr and Mrs Parrot are on a bit of R&R.
Really needed a break after the last few months and why not have a beachside break.
So heading out to Robe.
Going to check out some caches in the area and chill.
Which is easy to do given the temperature

First find for the trip.
I made a meal of this one.
Found if after spending way too long looking.
I must be getting out of practice.

Original cache type container placed with a new logbook.

After enjoying nearly all of our week in Meningie we decided that a tour around Lake Albert was in order while trying for some of the nearby caches. The weather was surprisingly cool for this time of the year but much better than caching on a hot day.

This was our second find and we had to replace the smashed container....hmm....gonna have to eat more mints me thinks

Many thanks for the hide hevwalker

I had a very early start to the day with an event in the city then a drive to Meningie to stay with friends for a few days. With all this extra time I had, I stopped for a few caches along the way (as you do). [^]

I would never have known this monument was here if it hadn't been for this cache. Drove close to GZ then made a quick find after reading the plaque.

Thanks for the cache hevwalker.

Fun

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one of the list

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.

Thanks to hevwalker for placing the cache for us to find.

Interesting little side track found here
Ye olde calcrete/concrete road was a delight to drive along
And along the olde road,
this memorial was found

Isn't is sad to see that bronze plaques can no longer be used at these localities,
due to the lowlifes stealing them
But the plastic plaque is doing a sterling job now and is unlikely to be nicked

TFTC and a random bit of history on me drive today

Fave dance time !!

Travelling toward the St Arnaud event and finding some geocaches along the way. TFTC Hevwalker.

Found it nice and easy on the way home from Millicent. Interesting Plaque

Thanks hevwalker for the cache

We enjoyed a long weekend staying at Murray Bridge and caching. Always love learning about history. Thanks to the cache owners for adding to our fun and frivolity.

It's not in the trees, a fast find. TFTC

There was a brown snake at the GZ. Lying out on the open. Reared up at us and opened his hood. Must be a cobra.

Thanks for the hide hevwalker. Nice clean log.

We spent the night in Meningie. A bit of the power trail this morning and then some sightseeing.

We are visiting from South Africa. . Landed in Sydney and are driving along the coast to Adelaide.

Vir die Suid Afrikaaners. Ons is op toer van Port Elizabeth. Eers na Singapoer en dan na Australia. Ons het in Sydney geland en ry kuslangs na Adelaide. Baie lekker.

New logbook added to cache

Quick find , but I wonder how many non-geocachers have ever stopped here .Incidentally the school closed in 1959 according to the plaque.

TFTC

Found with the absolutely lovely Feathertop whilst in the area attacking the ROTF series. A really good spot for a cache.

Thanks so much hevwalker

Did a few caches along this stretch with Goodlook today as we took our tired bodies back to Meningie after a long days with the Popes.
I had wrongly assumed that Albert Hill was a local pioneer not a place.
Enjoyed the solitude on a late afternoon here
Thanks Hevwalker

Quick find after work at the Hospital. Haven't done much night caching, as it is getting cold but this was fun.

Quick find with muggle husband on the way to Robe. TFTC TNLNSL

Tftc a very nice memorial for an old school

Nice little piece of history here. TFTC

found with mogni on route to meningie. a quick detour down the side road and a quick find.

As we headed home to Tasmania from Adelaide, we decided to travel the Princes Highway for a change. We stopped to look for this cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks hevwalker for the cache.

TFTC

Not a monument found by non cachers I think! TFTC

Hi there hevwalker.

We found your cache **"Albert Hill"** today. (This makes our find count 21339).

Today we headed out from Meningie to do the Scenic Lake Albert Drive. We enjoyed our outing and found 5 caches (& DNF'd 0) in our cache run. Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander our way around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Great cache!! Another quick stop on our way home to the Riverland, TFTC

When you see these memorial plaques, it's always hard to imagine thriving communities where there is now nothing! Cache #2855.

Stopped by on my day off from AJ2019.

Cheers

Stopped on our way to Adelaide, almost missed it though. Nice and easy. We enjoy these cachess TFTC

In the area with CPwanderer and Bindi the geodog for another cache so we headed in to Meningie for lunch.
CP was kind enough to stop on the return journey so that I could make a find on this one.
Nice to finally get here for this one. My grandfather's name was Albert Hill so the name got my attention when it was published.
TFTC hevwalker

Another place Owl didn't know existed. Thanks!

Found on my very scenic route home to Perth... Eventually. Added a new log sheet as the old one was full. TFTC

Well there we go!
Another monument tucked away we didnt know about, looks kinda newish but the history was old. Windy spot here even the birdlife had scarpered off somewhere.
We indicated to turn in and there was a ute pulled over checking his load, wow SA is a small place, it was a guy Mr Kookacrew had worked with about 10 years ago.
Thanks hevwalker for the cache and a lil detour on our way home. TNLNSL

Found on the long way home after a FTF hunt down south.
Thanks for the cache hevwalker

Mr Tardis was on a caching weekend trip down to the South East. I stopped here to stretch my legs and find a cache. I achieved both of these things successfully.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache hevwalker.
