Quick and easy find.

We found ourselves camped very close to this cache on our way through the area so did what any self respecting cachers would do and went to find it. The container was still in good condition but had filled up with water so we dried it as best we could and replaced the logbook. Left behind a Scout to keep guard and greet the next person. TFTC

#19772. Day 5 of our holiday and having our third day of caching from our base in Renmark. Robmc, the geo-doggies and I headed off to Berri. We hoped to do some caches by bicycle but the weather was too unpredictable and the rains came so suddenly at every turn. Enjoyed a pleasant lunch in our campervan by the water at Martins Bend.

Another one collected here today. Plenty of campers and mosquitos around.

Thanks SnappyTomCats

Our third day in the Riverland with BettyBoo3747 and the geodoggies.
The forecast was still not flash but we cached between showers.
Spent most of our time in Berri, and had a picnic lunch by the river at Martin's Bend.
Even with all the rain there are still a good number of people camping here. It is a very nice looking spot.
Thanks, Robmc.

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

We have joined forces with FelixII so we are off to see what we could find at Marty's. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on our geo-guided tour.

TFTC SnappyTomCats. We had completed the On Your Bike Series yesterday. Today being a hot one we decided on a trip to Berri. A lovely town on the Murray. We cached our way there and also found some in town. A great day to be near the river.

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 16. The next phase of my journey is underway. I am in Loxton. I was with Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny to attempt to finish the On You Bike where-i-go caches. We have managed to solve them all before we arrived. Day 6 in the River land. As we had accomplished the On your Bike caches, the others headed back east to stop at Mildura for the paddle steamer caches, but I am based in Adelaide at the moment, so could not go. I spent the day out and about collecting caches in the region before heading to Lake Bonny and then Berri, finishing the day in Katarapko National park.

This trip to Loxton had been a year coming as I had missed out last year due to other commitments. The group had increased and the target list of caches was much higher. It had been a group effort to deal with all the jigsaw puzzles and then the Reverse Where-i-gos were sorted out with the various online tools. The trip was looking at risk as the COVID situation stretched and stretched, but at least SA kept to its plans to open the borders and we all jumped through the hoops required to get across the border. The weather was looking extreme as the journey approached and it did not disappoint. The daytime temps were from 36-42 over the days of this exercise and it made for some hard work and lots of water usage.

Thanks for the cache SnappyTomCats

Starting to rain but made it to cache.
Back to car before too wet

Nice hide. TFTC.

Decided to head to the riverland for a couple of events and Lab caches and while in the area see what else we could find. Teamed up with Mattycat and Sebastbat for a full day of adventures, another around the bend as we explored this part of the river, cache was found safe and sound well done on another anniversary
TFTC SnappyTomCats

A day trip to the Riverland was planned with earthlight, The X-Trailers and LíB to attend a couple of events, complete some Adventure Labs and find a few caches. [^]
It was a perfect day for caching and we had a great (tiring) time doing a few walks and generally enjoying the company while socialising and finding caches.

We were close to this one and a couple of us hadn't found it so they stayed in the car while LíB and I made the short walk to GZ.

Thanks for the cache SnappyTomCats.

Found with earthlight, The X-Trailers & JJ52, after attending a morning event at Barmera & a lunchtime event at Berri Great weather today with lots of annoying flies.

Nice day for an adventure so we decided to jump in the car and get some local caches. Our youngest wanted to go for a walking adventure so we parked at the start of Martin’s Bend and walked cross country to grab this one. TFTC!

Found while having a look at the Canoga for a future trip.

Nice easy find, beautiful spot to camp TFTC

Great

We set out as the land vehicle on a camping trip with a couple of friends in their yachts. Unfortunately one pair dropped out when illness hit, the other couple had equipment failure and had to pull their boat out of the water. Rather than abandon the trip we decided on Martins Bend to stay for a couple of days.
The bonus being the nice number of caches nearby.
An easy find. Thanks for the cache SnappyTomCats.

Great hide for the kids! Tftf.

With 4MOULE crossing the border having a few days off we teamed up to grab some of the new caches near us.

A good day out grabbing these caches
Thanks SnappyTomCats for placeing them

We arrived in Renmark yesterday and decided to spend today doing a few caches around town before heading out to Berri for a look around then onto Loxton (via the lock) for a cuppa and then back to our campsite in Renmark.
TFTC

We have never been down this road and to this location before. The riverside is a great family friendly area! Lots of campers in the area today. We found with Honeysucker on a little geocaching expedition. Thanks for placing this here for us to find!

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I departed Morgan after a hot breakfast, and we proceeded south finding a few targeted *Tour de France* series geocaches, before then crossing the Murray River at Blanchetown. We then proceeded up the eastern Murray River bank passing through Murbko, before crossing once again and driving along the northern bank. We then stopped for a late lunch at Waikerie after making another river crossing (by ferry this time), and then made our way east along the Sturt Highway to Barmera. It was a chance to see a few sights in Barmera and complete the *A Bonney Stroll* Adventure Lab. Finally, we made a dash through Monash topping to see the adventure playground, and then arrived in Berri for the night.

Our final adventure today was a drive and jog in Martins Bend Reserve in Berri. We ended up completing this journey at dusk, and thus returned on foot under torchlight.
What a really cool area for camping - I would have loved to have made a week trip in the riverland to camp at places like this, but alas I guess we just ran out of time in South Australia. Once we were at GZ, I made a quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks SnappyTomCats for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found on our big drive up to Brisbane with Davidwazza! TFTC!

A nice day to be out and about in the Riverland with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang.
It was a slow drive through the camping area, with a few camping vehicles in the area.
A short walk to gz & the log was signed and replaced, thanks for the cache SnappyTomCats.

Quickly located on getting to the GZ with clare007 and Gizmos Gang!!! Thanks Snappy Toms for the hide!

Found with CPwanderer and clare007 on a day out in the Riverland.
I have only found 2 others in the anniversary series. I will have to rectify that.

Found this with my wonderful long suffering muggle husband. Last day of our break in Berri. Grabbed these TBs to continue their adventures and dropped a TB hoping it soon gets picked up to continue it’s travels. TFTC Snappy TomCats. Can’t wait to see where your next Anniversary Cache turns up.

Arrived at dark and a few people were camped here, a short walk in the dark over to GZ cache was easily found and is all good

This weekend a group of us headed to be Riverland to find some caches mainly focused around using a kayak and collecting some oldies in the area. The celebration event dragged Freddo and myself out here and in total came away with 33 finds for the weekend.

Thanks for the cache

The sun had set it was dark as a dog's guts. The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Found It!
A nice little walk and a quick find here. Once again the anniversary series is complete. I'll look forward to the next one in 6 months time...

Went for a walk and gps led us right to the cache. A few caravans about but nothing to worry us. A beautiful spot on the river. Thanks for bringing us here. Thanx

Nice and not many muggles. TFTC

After our recent visit to Nuri we were surprised to see a SnappyTomcats cache up our way, so off we went to hunt it out. Tftc
