Very sneaky little find thankyou

Tftc

TFTC! Another Tinjella Trail cache ticked off the list!Found @ 12:06pmDay 19 of caching streak Find #446

Another day, another walk in the forest with sir_spectre. Only a shortish stroll today, as he doesn't need big numbers Thanks

Found with Mogni. I have walked this trail from start to finish about 15 years ago. This time the trail was walked in sections because i was working on getting my finds up to 15 on calendar days. Depending on the day there is a large different in the amount of people/walkers/horse people on the trail. Alot more people than 15 years ago. Most of the co ords were good but a few were 9 meters out. The hints were spot on every time and were helpful. A nice stroll ( if steep in parts ) around the forest.

Last one for today. Will come back and complete this lovely trail another time. TFTC

Great area, lovely walk, fantastic caches. TFTC

Keeping the kids busy

TFTC love Alicia and Toby

Hill2Sea and I are back for some more exercise and to complete another section of the trail. We had pretty perfect weather and really enjoyed this walk today. We really appreciate you laying this trail out as it's been a great reason to catch up and get outside. Thanks for the hunt today.

Adventured a bit further south than I normally do. Doing this series as heard alot of good reports about this one. Just had to experience it for myself.Thanks Weredunn4 for placing and maintaining this series.TFTC SL

A nice, cool morning had us back walking in Kuitpo Forest to grab a few more caches while exercising.We have been enjoying this nice big series over a few days.Many thanks weredunn4

We want to tackle part of the Tinjella Trail during this visit and thought that we might attempt a couple to get some ideal of the style of hides and the terrain. We stopped to look for this cache and one other. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks weredunn4 for the cache and the series. We hope to be back soon.

Loved this hide TFTC

Quick find. Nice one!

TFTH

Nice find at the start of our hike, very nice geocache in good condition

This took much longer than we though it would to find, amazing how one tree can produce so much cammo!!
Not sure on the accurate find date for these caches but on doing a bit of a lazy day browse of the map we realized these caches needed logging. Great idea for a series and a top spot to go for a wander. Although this one we did a drive by if our memories serve us correctly.
Thanks weredunn4 for the cache.

Fltf

Last day of holidays 9th find. TFTC

I decided to head to Kuitpo today for a wander now that I have fewer weekend appointments to keep me busy! The Tinjella Trail was on the radar so I parked nearby and started with this one. I missed the cache on a few circles - it was not where I guessed it would be! Luckily I shifted my thinking and found the well concealed cache. TFTC weredunn4

2 nd on our tinjilla day! With kayche23 on this cool summers days. Tftc

A good hide. TFTC. Beautiful tree! With Clive Staples

Found on a bash around Kuitpo forest on the MTB. Completed all of the Tinjella Trail bar 5 due to a short section of trail being closed due to active logging. An enjoyable ride around the forest in some great cool weather. Thanks for putting this trail together and for ongoing maintenance, cheers.

Find #4803 on 28 Dec 2022.
TFTC weredunn4!

Tftc, such a beautiful place away from the chaos of life.

Cheers! No pen on me, so photo as evidence.

Today is Sunday, weather is fine. I and J plus the little one visited Kuitpo Forest. We tried some caches on the way, and found 8 of them, including 7 traditional caches and 1 mystery cache.
This cache was our third find for today. We tried three caches of this "Tinjella Trail" series, and found all three.
Noticed the cache while we were a few steps away. No need to reveal the hint.
Signed the log sheet, and placed the cache back.
Thanks for the "Tinjella Trail" cache series, weredunn4. We will try more caches in this series, when we visit this area next time.

Tftc!

Our last Tinjella Trail cache! Thanks for the series and the walk weredunn4. This is our favourite sort of caching, out in the fresh air with a walk.

Had a few attempts due to tree cover but I eventually found this queen. TFTC weredunn4.

Hi weredunn4, I found Tinjella Trail – Queen of Spades today. I am on my way between the Goulburn Valley in Victoria to McLaren Vale in South Australia. Collecting a few smilies on the way.

Many thanks weredunn4 for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Thanks for the cache!

TFTC
The coords bounced all around on this one……..searched & searched, and finally checked one last spot - gotcha

TFTC

We were doing a hike in the area and thought we'd try to find some geocaches along the way. We thought we'd be in trouble finding them given the logging, but happily every one was safe and sound. TFTC.

Looking for a long walk on this cooler summer day and decided this series is just the ticket to get my heart pumping a bit. TFTC weredunn4

OZGrumpy and I had a lovely day walking through Kuitpo today collecting these caches. Thanks weredunn4

Today KTPops and I targeted this series on the Tinjella Trail. I have been wanting to do this for a long while and having the opportunity to do this with KTPops was ideal. We started on the trail at around 11.30am and managed to complete them all on foot by about 5.15pm. There were more ups and downs than I expected, especially when comparing it to the forest across Brookman Road.

We had a sensational day, barely seeing anyone during our travels. The caches were generally in good condition. All caches were signed by both of us, and returned and covered to shelter them from the sun. Thank you Weredunn4 for all the work on this series, and the ongoing maintenance.

KTPops found this one, she had circled the tree and spied the hide.

Good little find to start the day

We have been allowed to travel to South Australia and our first stop was Bordertown then onto Millicent where we will spend a few days before heading towards Adelaide.
We have arrived, it has been such a long time since we have been to Adelaide and we are out there finding the many caches that have been placed since we were last here or the ones we have not had time to find before. All caches are in good condition, some were easy finds some were down right difficult due to the great quality of their camo.
SL TFTC

Today we needed to grab some caches for a souvenir challenge. We dusted off the bikes and set out to do at least 15. We successfully did this today and no dnf's.

Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches. We will be back to do the rest

All good TNLNSL TFTC

Cy and Zoe found it!

I’ve had a short break from geocaching so this morning I planned a nice long bush walk to break the drought. The sun was shining and the temperature was cool so perfect geocaching weather.

I set off on foot at about 11am and returned back to the car 4.25 hours later. It was a thoroughly enjoyable walk along the trails despite some pretty deep mud around the 4 of Diamonds due to tree logging activity.

All caches found except one. All caches were in good condition except one or two which I have raised seperate logs.

A great geocaching trail so I’ve dropped a few random favourite points along the trail.

Thanks for the cache weredunn4.
# # #8575 # #

Had a good look. At the right spot we think. Cant see it. Next time I guess.

Another DNF on this trail. Shame. We are certain about location and hint clear but can’t see it anywhere. Looks like that side of the stump may have fallen apart recently.

Looked this morning. Tried again on the way home. All good. TFTC.

Today was cool and sunny, perfect for a walk in Kuitpo with the pines, mushrooms, kangaroos and black cockatoos. I’m enjoying this series, so rationing them out over a number of visits. Thanks for this great series Weredunn4.

Another day caching while staying at Yundi tftc

Found on my Wednesday semi-regular jog in Kuitpo, this time in light rain. Hint certainly helped, otherwise I would be searching around in amongst the pine-trees for a while. TFTC

Found during a tour around the Tinjella Trail in Kuitpo on a warm but pleasant day for walking, completing the circuit in 4 1/2 hours. Thanks for the cache and series weredunn4!

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Found out mountain bike riding

Riding the trail with Pony1966. First find of the day. TFTC

Perfect day for a bike ride at kuitpo with Wal & Ol. TFTC!

Day 432 ( Tuesday 3rd ) of our trip. Caching along the way, in Meadows today. Off to tackle some of the caches in forest. TFTC

Spent the day walking back and forth along the Tinjella trail looking for geocaches. Ended up walking 17 km or 23000 steps. So far found about half the caches along the track. Thanks weredunn4.

On our way to Victor today to visit mogni and decided to grab a few caches b4 the rain. this was on the track to a highly favourited target cache, so we grabbed it on the way.
TFTC weredunn4.

Found at 16:34 by Emily with Olga and geodogs Luna and Winnie on a really nice afternoon walk around Kuitpo.
Our last find for the day. We still have plenty more to do on the next trip. Thanks for the caches, and for the walk.

Waiting for our Scouts to make it to the lunch point whilst cycling the Kidman Trail I had the chance to make a few finds. This was the fifth of the day. TFTC A beautiful place and a lovely sunny day shame the Scouts cycled past their lunch stop!

I had a day off so I grabbed the geomutt and headed off to see how many we could find in this series. I found most of them thanks to some great hints. I had a great walk and the weather was perfect for my 5 hour hike. Thanks so much for making the effort to put out such a great series of caches.

A geocaching day had been organised with locus cache starting at McLaren Vale and who knows how that would go and where we would end up.
The first 3 caches had been targeted and we met erine14 and alysse14 at McLaren Vale, then headed to Kuitpo and Meadows for a yummy lunch at the bakery before saying goodbye to the girls. Then we wound our way to Strathalbyn, Langhorne Creek, Milang and finished with the new Adventure Lab at Victor Harbor in the rain and dark after a really fun day.

We came past here as locus wanted to find the Joker as she had already found the others, so the rest of us stamped/signed the log as we walked past.

Thanks for the cache weredunn4.

Found with Locuscache, JJ52 and Erine14
TFTC!

A quick find while out on an adventure with alysse14 locus cache and JJ52 TFTC

Found after getting a FTF on the Joker. I will be back to find the rest of the series. TFTC weredunn4

Thanks for a fantastic walking series

It was such a beautiful day for a walk in the forest...
Trigger_Fish, jafaz62 and her doggo, Chewie and I started around 9am...
I am very glad we walked in the anti-clockwise direction as I would not have wanted to do some of those hills at the end of the walk...
Chewie loved the puddles and the ponds...
There was a lot of activity in the park today...horse riders, walkers and dogs...
We saw some wildflowers though it will be a month or so until it is in full colour...
All caches we found except the last one (Ace of Spades)...
A couple took longer to find than others...the hints helped...
Thanks for providing caches along this trail for our enjoyment, weredunn4

Out with NormanvilleSA & Geosparkie0 to visit the Kuitpo Forest on a beautiful day. So appreciative of the effort of placing the caches for our enjoyment.

Find #11401.

Mohammed Amza az-Zubeidi (1938 – December 2, 2005) was the Prime Minister of Iraq from 1991 to 1993. He is on the "Saddam's Dirty Dozen" list of people responsible for torture and murder in Iraq, playing a key role in Iraq's brutal suppression of the uprising of 1991. He was featured in Iraqi news film kicking and beating captured rebels.

He was a member of the Revolutionary Command Council and the commander of the Central Euphrates military district, but had not been in power for two years.

He was the Queen of Spades in the deck of most-wanted Iraqi playing cards issued by the US government during the war in Iraq. After the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, he was captured on April 20, 2003 near the small city of Mahaweel.

He remained in American custody until his death of natural causes in a military hospital on December 2, 2005. On that day, an American spokesman revealed that someone had died in a military hospital but did not reveal his name. Two days later, Saddam Hussein's half-brother Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti announced Zubeidi's death at his trial, complaining that they were both suffering from cancer and that he did not want to end up dead like Zubeidi because of what he claimed was poor medical treatment.

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. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four 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 including the famous animated bottle and glass.

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 Freddo, Davidwazza and brad&Janet and I headed to the area to complete the new deck of cars series. With the ground being wet we returned covered in mud but had fun at the same time. We managed to find all the caches but one with the co ords being a bit out on most of them but with the hints they weren’t too hard to find.
TFTS

Today, the objective was to group assault the new *Tinjella Trail* deck of cards power trail with Brad&Janet, Freddo, and gridge98 via mountain bikes. Well, two of our group were fortunate to have e-bikes. The Tinjella Trail took us just over three hours to complete, and then we re-fuelled ourselves at Meadow Bakery. I continued to geocache around the area targeting some oldie caches, a few prior DNFs, and mountain biking the *Are you kidding me?* series. I soon became tired and the sun was setting, so called it a day. A really nice winter day to be riding around.

We ended up parking near the Tinjella Trail's Ace of Spades, and made our way around anti-clockwise. I didn't realise Brad&Janet would be joining us, since he had already found this trail and ridden this loop twice before, and so we enjoyed his background narrative at how he had manipulated the CO's Strava file to review possible hide locations prior to official publication. We got off to a slow start, and soon learned that the coordinates were a guide, and the hints were the key to locate the cache quickly. Most of the coordinates were probably pretty accurate, but the various tree cover had them bouncing around the place, and if our search was taking too long, it was easy to go back to the GPS only to be taken in all sorts of directions. It was handy having a previous finder with us who could point to us where the cache was, and interesting to see how cache creep and other Geocachers had added to their hide locations (more rocks to SPORs, etc.). I also learned about a new acronym/definition: SPOBs, or suspicious piles of bark. There was some high up/down terrain, and gridge98 and I were disadvantaged at not having a motor to help climb those hills. There was one river crossing where the rains had collected the water, but otherwise from the heavens above, it was reasonably dry. It was a nice forest to ride, and the best-enjoyed power trails are via bike, in my opinion. Unfortunately, we left with one DNF, so we are hoping the CO has a few spare decks of card to manage future replacements.

Like most of the geocaches in this series, this cache was found reasonably quickly once it had a few pairs of eyes looking for it. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks weredunn4 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I came back to finish off the series. It was freezing in the morning.

All are in good condition. The hints were helpful.

Thanks for the walk.

P.S. I don’t have to walk back to my car.

Thanks weredunn4 for the cache

A great walk with the CO's and wander around, backward and forward through the trees and paths over the course of a day. We managed to dodge the showers (well mostly!) Such a lovely place.

Another day on this trail with bikes. Finding caches with SupaTurtle and Csaba!. Sooooo much fun today. Tra La Laaa

Fun times on the trail today. I need a bigger bike. Turtle out

Our final day in the area. We still need to come back for the Clubs and a few Hearts. This was a well themed series. The Supa's and I had a great time on the trail. Thanks

TFTC!!

Found it

Today Rex and I had nothing on so we decided to head back to Kuitpo to finish off the playing cards series.
It was a glorious day and we had a lovely walk. Rex was a bit puffed and asked to be carried a few times and we had a nice rest at the end of our trail, lying in the sunshine.
The trail was a bit busier day compared to last week as it was such a lovely afternoon.
This side of the trail was much quicker with the caches closer together and we were done and back to the car in good time. 12.5kms walked.
Again accurate coords and hints made for quick finds.
TFTC weredunn4

Out ticking off a few more of these today. Loving this series. great little spot. Cache and contents are all good. TFTC.

Out with Debandy on the coldest morning in 17 years to have a crack at the latest Kypo power trail. A fantastic hike through the forest, the tree cover made the GPS a bit sketchy but the clues got us there in the end.
Thanks weredunn4 for all your work!

Headed south today to Kuitpo Forest after the new Tinjella Trail. Saw -1 on the car thermometer in the hills but it was up to a brisk 4 when I started walking just after 9:30.
Saw quite a bit of wildlife, mainly birds, but only 4 muggles and 2 dogs on the loop. Found all 52 with most being quick finds thanks to the hints, but 2 or 3 needed a bit of circle work.
An enjoyable walk but was glad to be back at the car just before 2:45.
Thanks weredunn4 for this cache and a great series, will be scattering some favourite points.
