24 Nov 2024 9:12am. The weather was Overcast Clouds 19C 75% 2 m/s . Found with PamJ. Great container but the log was mush surprisingly, so we replaced it. Thanks GeoSA_Hides for your contribution to the game. *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Found with gmj3191 on our way to Penola. We are enjoying our stay in Millicent whilst exploring the area.

Staying at Mt Gambier, we decided to take a trip to Millicent today. Millicent was smaller than expected, so we decided to head to Penola for lunch. This cache was on the way. The coordinates are a bit off, bit I found the cache after checking several nearby locations.

The Burr was transferred from GeocachingSA to user GeoSA_Hides

Did not find

Another delightful day of caching in the Millicent area. It was a mild day with cloud and at occasionally some very light drizzle, but mostly fine.We saw some wonderful coutryside, lots of birds, plenty of cattle and sheep and even a wombat late in the day up close near Beachport.We found some terrific caches.Thanks to GeocachingSA for this hide.

Had to read some logs to help locate out as coordinates were off by about 20m. Log is also a bit damp and could do with some attention.

Took us a while due to the coordinates being a little off, but got there in the end. Look closer to the fence!

We had a surprise couple of days free so we decided to head across the border in an a but unfortunately that was .attempt to find our 10,000th South Australian cache. Happily we achieved that yesterday and today we are doing a few more around the Millicent area before heading to Beachport for the night.We had hoped to be at the Millicent Mega but COV!D 19 put an end to those plans. we even had a permit organized to cross the border revoked four days out.It's now a couple of years later and we are finally finding some of the caches that were put out for the event. and appreciate the effort gone into placing them.We had a great time picking them upMany thanks GeoVenture2020 for these caches.

Tricky!!! Great find!!

Found it. Greetings from . Having a weekend away to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary.

Thank you

Gps position has a little latitude. Perhaps as much as much as 20m but a trees a trees. Watch for muggles.

Millicent to Penola
Stopped for only one cache on the roadside.
Spending the night at the CMCA cacping ground. This morning we did the ALs.
After lunch we headed south to Kalangadoo & did the wine glass only.
Thanks for placing your cache.

Good hide

Cool

Lots of eyes, but we couldn't find it. We did find a tiny bat in the bark, though. Our thanks anyway to GeocachingSA.

No luck here today.

A good look from all of us but no find

The three of us stopped here to find this one, while on the way back to the Mega home base after attending the CITO in Penola.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache GeoVenture2020.

Found eventually after a long search of the relevant hining spots. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

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

Another one off the list

Today was another big day with the aim of finding 11 cache types in a day, but we weren't sure how we would go as the weather in Millicent was bad, cold, wet and windy! After meeting Doctor Owl in Millicent we set off on our day and thankfully didn't get too wet and by the time we reached Penola we had sunshine and blue skies. [^]
After a long day we achieved our goal and ended the day at the Carpenter Rocks Tavern for a lovely hot meal before going back to the accommodation to get warm and dry.

This one took us a long time as the coordinates had us on one side of the road but the cache was eventually found on the other side quite a distance away. It was only when I came to log that I found the logs with updated coordinates.

Thanks for the cache GeoVenture2020.

This cache was only found because JJ thought it had to be over there. What that was when the coordinates that had showed GZ nowhere near it is beyond Owl but it certainly helps to have friends!

Day 3 of Millicent GeoVenture 2020 heading out with Wollaston, Liz & Bruce.

The weather is even more miserable but nothing was going to dampen our spirits, today’s mission was to finish boiling a giant crayfish ?? ??

Fueled up on delicious egg & bacon sangas, drinks and snacks stashed, we were on our way.

Along the way we kept our eyes peeled and managed to tick off a few trads and add some more smileys to our map.

Thanks to the many hands and minds putting together these series for the long awaited event.

Found during the GeoVenture2020 mega event in Millicent. Thanks for the cache GeoVenture2020!

Found on a visit to the south-east with FeatherWaite to attend the Mega event at Millicent. We teamed up with a few others again today to complete some of the caches in the area.

Thanks GeoVenture2020 for the cache.

as we have a look around the area While attending the Mega at millicent this was one of the caches we found with friends

A good day was had while grabbing these caches

A novice trying to get out next milestone.
At Millicent’s for the MEGA event, thanks for a great weekend ??

Apologies for the generic log.

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

Along the way we stopped to find as many caches as we could - because we somehow convinced our better halves not to accompany us. Or perhaps it was because they really don't like caching as much as us.

We came well equipeed in the Pahero, with not one, not two but THREE TOTTs to help us. Even that wasn't sufficient for all the hides, sometimes you just don't have the right tool for the job.
However we had perfect tools for the Fishing series, and then went on to Kalangadoo for the wine series and stopped at a few others, some involving ladders or tree climbing.

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 GeoVenture2020 for placing and maintaining the cache

Once again teamed up with Sebastbat, Jack, **JEM**, and Froghoppin, for an assault on the cache map around the much awaited GeoVenture 2020 Joined some Missfits and Mystery Randoms at times during the day too, and took off on our own down all sorts of tracks and byways.
Apologies for some almost generic logs today, it's a lot to get logged on a night when we miss an hour's sleep LOL But we certainly had a lot of fun finding each and every cache !

Had to hunt around and use info from old logs, but there it was!

Thanks for putting this cache out on the SE SA geomap GeoVenture2020

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Found at 9:21 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.


Thanks for the hides

No luck for us here

Found it after a little search TFTC

Cool container

Well hidden but we found it

Found on a drive to Lake leake.tftc

A quick drive-by as we drove through Mt Burr. TFTC

Rex and I stopped for a couple of caches on the way back to Naracoorte. Rex thought the other trees were more interesting. TFTC

nice day for it,TFTC

In between a morning CITO and an evening dinner event in Millicent I spent a good portion of the day caching along and around the Overland track, completing most of the DRB series.
My GZ was a little off being about the centre of the road and after initially searching the wrong side of the road I eventually made the find.
Thanks GeoVenture2020

Found after a bit of searching, look at the trees a bit closer to the fence

Good hiding spot took a few seconds to open it but still good

updating coordinates from S 37° 32.528 E 140° 27.118 to S 37° 32.518 E 140° 27.118

We used the following co-ords posted by the previous geocacher and they are good -
S37 32.518 E140 27.118
This cache is in good condition and perhaps the cache can be moved back to the correct location to match the co-ords.
SL TFTC

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

This weekend, I headed to the Limestone Coast / south-east for cave diving, but also to find a few geocaches when time allowed. It was only a quick weekend travelling to Mt Gambier via Bordertown on Friday, and returning Sunday via Millicent and Kingston. I was able to fit in a visit south to Port MacDonnell on Saturday, and a few other small detours around Mt Gambier.

Today, I returned back towards Adelaide, detouring through Glencoe, Mount Burr, Millicent, Furner, Kingston, but then back tracking towards Keith due to a grass fire cutting off the Coorong Road.

After driving past here and making a stop, I managed to find the cache after a short search. The coordinates were 18-20 m out, and it sounds like this issue has been raised by many logs before, so could the CO team visit this one and check/update the coordinates as required? The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks GeoVenture2020 committee for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Stopped here with feathertop and Tag-along to check out this cache. There was a fellow mowing the grass in the area so I retreated to the car where i noticed the corrected co-ords. that fixed everything and the cache was soon found.
Thanks GeoVenture2020

Logged in the company of 6Hinemoa2 and tagalong.
Whilst the mowerman did his stuff Karena noticed that there were some better coords in an earlier log. Armed with these we went straight to the cache.
Cheers

Yay finally found 2nd time around

Day 414( Friday 16th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Tarpeena today. A total of 2 for the day and 7357 the trip. A grand total of 17,325 caches. TFTC
Found 30 meters off coordinates. Used revised coordinates from previous logs.

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 9: It looks like the rain and drizzle had finally cleared and it was time to go and clear the other caches near Millicent that we hadn't yet found and complete the GV2020 series Knowing where some of the GV2020 were placed this was to be 'waders' day.

The spurious coordinates supplied took us close enough to use our caching mojo the find the cache some 20 or so metres away. Sack that work experience cacher that put this one out. [:o)][:o)]

***Thanks GeoVenture2020 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Found.

Found about 20m away from where the GPS wanted me to look.

Thanks for the cache GeoVenture2020.

Muggle partner left Millicent this morning as he has work tomorrow while I am staying tonight and leaving tomorrow
I attended the lunch meal event in Mt Gambier as my 1st cache for the day and then had tea in Naracoorte
In between I cached[^], and completed an adventure lab in Penola[^], with scramping, TT016, PrincessAria1, LittleG00sE and hevwalker on the trip to Naracoorte and afterwards, I followed crane2 and Labchick back and laughed as they found 'Sign log and replace the cache as exacty as found'
Then I left that pair and found 'If you see Kaye there is a cache!' and another easier cache on my own about 10pm before retiring back to the cabin for sleep[|)][^]
All up 14 were earned, 12 caches were found and 2 cool events were attended[^]

This bloodycache added almost half an hour, I reckon, to my delayed bedtime
Found on the opposite side of the road than where my GPSr wanted me[?]

After searching all over the place used Felix II’s coordinates and they were spot on! Thanks, GeoVenture2020 for the hide. Cache 3574.

After attending the Celebration event, I headed back out on the road to find a few more caches before the heavens opened up.

Hard to get good gps signal due to trees, found 10m from where phone was telling me to go.

In Millicent for the long weekend and to attend the Geoventure 2020 Celebration Event..oh and to cache of course! Today was also a number building exercise to get us to our next milestone of 5000. Hmm this one took longer than it should have, eventually found the cache about 19 metres from where it should have been. TFTC[8)][8)]

Love this town!

DNF

Took a little to get this one. Didn't realize the main road for such a small town could get sooooo busy for a Sunday arvo. Any muggles that were going past most probably wondering what I was up to (just minding me own business just a looking for a cache), some most probably oblivious to what I was doing. TFTC SL

On the way to Penola via Mount Gambier.
It was the last day in the South East and we were heading to the Conservation Park caches.
And then back to Adelaide.
The clue here didn't really help, as there were so many to choose from..
As there were two searches, one took one side of the road & I took the other...
I let my caches instinct take me to the correct tree.
Thanks for the cache GeoVenture2020.

Located with clare007!! Thanks for the hide!!

Found it!

It was difficult to find because the coordinates were off but we did it

Was in tree

Any bad day out caching is better than a good day at home, so despite the rain, I did a 22 cache solo run around the Lower South East, clocking up over 200 km in the process and getting saturated.
Found the coords to be a bit out on this one... but it may have been me... It's pretty obvious once at the location though.

Another great day caching with friends FelixII on a cold but bright sunny day. So many caches to find and many of them in the extensive pine forests.

Many thanks to all the CO’s who have gone to so much trouble publishing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment

Many thanks for the hide GeoVenture2020

Loving geocaching in the South East. Headed out again with our friends sylken for another full on day before the wet weather catches up with us on the weekend.

Great day using Geocaching as our tour guide. We even snagged some podium finishes, being a STF and 2 Joint FTF
