TFTC!Out enjoying a nice quiet drive on the back roads just before sunset.Parked and made the short walk to the cache.Drove down the road a few kms, just in time to watch the sun fall below the horizon.

Travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip. Staying at Murray Bridge for a few days, exploring the area using geocaching as our guide. Thanks for the cache.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Murray Bridge to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Thanks for the hide hevwalker

First day back out geocaching with sesall in a long time, thankyou for bringing us out here and for placing and maintaining this cache

A quick find here today with marajade01 all looks to be in order thankyou

Little Miss Cache LOVES these caches! TFTC

Another quick find on a lovely day out caching. Thank you hevwalker for placing the cache.

Found after the Murray Park Clean up CITO. Found after finishing the GeoMobile series. Quick find.Today myself and Mogni went out to Murray Bridge to go to the Murray Park Clean up CITO i was hosting plus the Come storm BINDI'S HILL with CP !! Event. I did get to do maintenance on one of my caches on the way there. Todays targets were to get myself and Mogni to 1000 points for the current " Wheel of challenge " online souvenir. I also got to revisit some caches i had found before that Mogni hadn't found. It was a hot day caching and hiking around Murray Bridge today. It was a good day out.

Sir_spectre and I decided we needed to complete our Wheel of Challenges and of course complete our calendar dates for attending CITO's. The 24th was our last date needed. Lots of caches were found today. We fixed anything we could.Thanks to hevwalker from mogni

No animals were harmed in the search for this cache, but we did not see any zebra's. SL TFTC

Quick driveby TFTC

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

Nice hide! Thanks for placing the cache!

On account of the glorious weather, I decided to take a three day weekend and do some camping and geocaching around Murray Bridge.

Today I concentrated on the Callington and Monarto area in the morning and then spent the afternoon exploring Murray Bridge.

An enjoyable day with lots of great caches.

Thanks for the cache hevwalker.

Great little drive to find the Zebra. Long way from the zoo! Many farmers cultivating at present, refreshing to see after the rains. TFTC Hevwalker.

TFTC.

Always love a murder of zebras - or is that a crossing?

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure that 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

Well that was a very pleasant surprise. Thanks for the effort and TFTC

The in safari series, some interesting caches and great for kids all of them were easy finds and are all good

Today I headed to Monarto/Murray Bridge region for CP’s Two cents worth event, so decided to leave early in the morning to collect a chunk of caches in the area before the event then do a few after, unfortunately the rain changed my plans throughout the day as limited walking could be done. Still managed to get 54 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Grabbing a few more caches in the beautiful Monarto woodlands. All caches we found were in great condition and with good co-ords.

Many thanks for the hide hevwalker

A lovely fine day after many days of rain was a good opportunity to go caching with our granddaughters. Having had lunch, it was off to the "On Safari" series. They were excited at the possibility of finding animal caches. They followed the GPS needle and were able to make a quick find of a different style of cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks hevwalker for the cache and mini series. This cache earns a favourite from us (mainly due to the girl's reactions when they saw the cache).

Great day to be out and about with geopup Douglas, very nice hide, cache and log in good condition TYFTC

Patted the zebra and picked up a FTF TB, even though I am definitely not FTF.
I’ll claim it!

TFTC and happy caching!

The great Southeast Saunter down to the Millicent area was over. Back to my 2020 caching goals. Only one of the three set at the start of the year was now possible and should be complete by Christmas. [^] So pressure off and back to caching when and where the whimsy takes me whilst I ponder some targets for next year.

My whimsy for today was to clean up the last caches around Monarto that I didn't get to on the day of CP's event. Not what I was expecting after the last two but I have seen this type of hide before. [^] All I had to do was follow the geotrail to make the find.

***Thanks hevwalker for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

I love the zebra TFTC

A drive around this area today had us passing a few of this series , so we had no choice, but to stop .

Thanks Hevwalker.

Found with cows with guns

A quick find with Debandy on a caching safari down Monarto way.

Massive day out today. Left home at 8am and headed off to CP World. I did the Shanks Pony series first, wish I’d read OZGrumpy’s logs as I was ill prepared for the mozzies and was bitten alive. Also had many face fulls of spider webs...yuck and a couple of low branches smacked my head.
Some caches easier to find than others but an enjoyable walk, just me and the wildlife. All caches found was very sad when I found a dead sleepy lizard caught in the ‘conservation’ park fence, made me feel . Counted 28 sleepies on my day out today many in pairs on the roads hope they survive.
Then on to a couple of target caches on my list. Into suburbia in MB where my usual frustrations kicked in but did avenge a prior dnf which was good. The under light of the day was being savagely attacked by a magpie down by the river, still hurting from that now! And I am a Pies supporter!!
Nice bakery lunch and some lab caches before onwards to the safari series which I really enjoyed.
Finally got to the event a bit late, was fabulous to see so many cachers in attendance, very well organized with particular care given to Covid protocols. Enjoyed a few chats and lamingtons as well as a Bindi poo bag.Then on to so the new cache circuit. Stupidly had left battery pack in car which meant I had to detour there before collecting the last 3 caches of the day.
Walked 15kms today and arrived home via a couple more lab caches exhausted, a little sunburnt, mozzie bitten, head bashed from low branches and hurting head from swooping magpie, despite all this epic fab day out. Thanks to all who made it possible!!!
Another quick find on safari TFTC Hevwalker

Having arrived at the CP event, Owl went on a wander with an ever-changing collection of cachers and managed to get all caches handed to her for signature. However, once she'd left the event she was on her own. Fortunately all caches were a quick find, including this one.

Out logging a few caches around Monarto. Cache and contents are all good. TFTC Hevwalker left TB

Finishing our day in Monarto with a couple of drive-bys. We appreciate the effort of the cache container. TFTC hevwalker.

A favourite series! Thanks again, Hevwalker.

Found on a safari near Murray Bridge. Thanks hevwalker.

Found after a walk around Kinchina Conservation Park.

Nice container

TFTC

Made an impromptu decision to head out to the Monarto area this afternoon to clear up a cluster of caches that included touring the back-roads on the On Safari series and a great walk around Kinchina Conservation Park. Thanks for the cache hevwalker!

Went on safari today and found some wild animals(cache)..
Nice work on the cammo..
An easy find.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Thanks Hevwalker for zebra. Great little spot here. Added a bag, just a plain one, no stripes!!

Headed down to CPwanderland today with the main aim being the new On Safari series. All eight of the nice series with well made containers were found. Left an Easter Bunny trackable.
Thanks hevwalker for the cache and series

Logging my find on this cache as I was present when it was placed.
Nice work on a creative series?? ??

TFTC hevwalker

I could be loud man, I could be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I could be a gentleman, I could be violent
I could turn hot man or I could be cold
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy,
Waiting for all hell yeah to break loose
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn't mean that I don't believe in no noose
So I'm singin'

Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

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.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. The event is now postponed six months to early October. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this three day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find including two classic geo art trails.

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.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I had a general plan to head towards Murray Bridge, and do some walks and hiking in one of the many parks in the vicinity. It turned out that there were a few FTFs still available, and so we called past the Monarto area first to find those, before walking through the Monarto Woodlands. We then made a long detour drive past a couple of oldie caches, and called into Murray Bridge for an enjoyable bakery lunch. We then spent the afternoon around the foreshore of Murray Bridge, and completed the new *Port Mobilong* Adventure Lab in the area. A final drive to across the Murray to Riverglades, Avoca Dell, and Murray Bridge East to check out a few new areas, and then returning home in the late afternoon. An enjoyable day with only a few minor showers, but otherwise not too bad.

We made a stop here whilst in the area, with a similarly themed animal cache found. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [@hevwalker](http://coord.info/PRD46RP) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. I took the TB onwards for future travels.

A fun day out with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) ! TFTC!

Last one found for the day. Dropped off TB Lego Alice

Found it and dropped off a TB

Nice quick find here.. I am glad that I checked to see if any other caches were place in the Murray Bridge area since I first started my enforced stay here. I was starting to run out of caches I could find. So this series has kept me active for a day or 2. TFTC.
