Thanks to Team Piggy, Canyonero & GeoBestBrewCoopers for a great event. The ring-in's (adopting the name Rallyart for the day!) reportedly had a great day too. Great too see some of the actual people behind those elusive team names and cache logs.

Thank you for a great day your efforts made for a very successful day. It was great to see and meet all of the SA cacher's including the visitors from Vic. I look forward to our next.

Thanks Guys, although only a partial visitor, I enjoyed catching up with you all. As the health gets back on track, I expect to log all of the new ADL caches real soon.

Thanks for arranging a great day. Getting lost and doing the most mileage on the day was just part of the fun!

Thanks to all involved in making the get together so much fun. An unbelievable effort to organise such a complex day. You even managed to have the weather Gods on your side!
Well done.

Special thanks to the organisers of the event. Your time and effort is much appreciated.

Due to lots of other commmittmentsss we had to give the rally a miss but it was great to catch up with a lot of people.

Good Hunting.

By the way this is geocache number 100 for us lot.

Hi All,

Thanks for a great day out last Sunday.

Looks like we have a bit to learn when it comes to these rally things, time and distance are not the most important issues!

Ikarus was dropped off during this event and I now believe he is making his way accross the border. looks like hes even going to beat me into the Vic High Country!

What a fantastic day - well organized, great company and perfect weather. Good to see everyone again and with this being out third gettogether it was nice to see familiar faces and new ones as well. Especially nice to see David and Mary since we did so many on their caches on our recent trip across the border. A BIG THANKYOU to Mr and Mrs Piggy and Mr Pooh, Canyonero, Geocoopers and everyone else that was involved in giving us such a good day out.

Attended by Team GeoCoopers.
A great day was had by all. Nice to meet everyone and out faces to the geocache usernames we always read on the logs.
Thanks for the few Victorians that came over for the event. Still not sure how they could beat the South Australians without as much local knowledge, as they took the main prize (and our TBF27 SA Geocachers Perpetual Trophy ) for the GPS Car Rally.
Thanks everyone for showing up and making it a great day...

Found by Team Piggy.
I guess the late nights and work involved have made me think, I am glad to see it's over !
Thanks to:
Team Canyonero for organising the Car rally, which we all succesfuly modified together into a pretty damn impressive observation run !
Team Geocoopers for their help with the setting up & organising.
Alex from Cartographics for supplying the Prize box of maps and books for the competitors.

House homewares in Adelaide city for the donation of the Pestle/mortar bowls.
And Mrs Piggy for the great wrapping job on all the prizes.
The contestants, thanks for attending, and making it a great day for all.
And a thanks to the Victorians, Maccamob & Quasar that travelled over and attended the event (And won a lot of the prizes!).
ohhh... And Mr pooh (Team Piggy's Cat) for the donation of his own little cache container, it fooled a few of you !!

What a Great Day, and a prize to boot! We would like to thank Teams Piggy, Canyonero, and GeoCoopers for the huge effort they put in, which resulted in such a wonderful fun day. Thanks to all those who participated, it was great to meet some of the faces of GeoCaching in SA (& the Vics).

Thanks to Canyonero, Piggy and Geocoopers for a great day! Nice to finaly meet some of the people who have been testing my searching skills recently!

Congrats to all who won prizes, well done! As for us...

Meeting other Geocachers got me thinking abour setting my own caches soon. keep an eye out!

Hi all... just logging my find...

Thanks to all that attended. I was initially anxious that the rally would have led you astray and you would have all ended up in different parts of the city/country... we'll only one of you did and they will remain nameless... team bluey.. (whoops, did I type that or just think that...?)

And sadly the perpetual tropy has gone over the border to VIC despite my initial chanting in the K-Mart car park (you can't win 'cause you're victorian....).

Well done to Maccamob... enjoy the trophy.

Thanks to Piggy and Coopers for all their help.

See you at the next event.

Thanks Guys and Gals for putting together a great event. We didn't really get into the car rally but had a great time meeting new faces and putting team names to them and generally having a good time. Bring on the next one!

Thanks to all for an enjoyable and well organised day. It was good to meet up with other geocachers and swap yarns etc. Congrats to the Vics, but watch out next time! Thanks also to Liz and Bruce for once again taking us with them on a 'Baby Boomers' excursion.

Teams Canyonaro, Piggy and Geocoopers have certainly set a standard to be followed! Thanks to you all for such a big effort! It is good to have these get togethers to be able to meet each other and swap tall stories. We had a blast and are definately looking forward to the next one - even if it will be hosted by Victorians .

Had a great time, and thought it was a very well organised event! Well done to the organisers. What's more, we saw the eclipse!

A Great Day!

Thanks to Piggy, Canyonero & GeoCoopers for all the hard work. And thanks to all for participating.

Returning the perpetual trophy we've been keeping on our virtual trophy shelf for the last 3 minutes.

Thanks for a great day. Thanks to Piggy, Canyonero and GeoCoopers for all their work.
Well done maccamob - what is it about Victorians taking stuff out of SA?
It was good meeting you all, too. Hopefully we'll bump into you here and there.

Very happy to finally meet a few more fellow cachers and put faces to team names! Now I really know who I'm writing to when I plead for clues!!

We had a wonderful day just participating, so to win a prize was an unexpected bonus. Even managed to pick up a couple of caches in the area after the rally that I hadn't bagged previously!

A big thankyou to Teams Piggy, Canyonero and GeoCoopers for the obvious effort spent to make today such a success - a very high standard for us to meet for next time.

Attended by Mary (spotter/coordinator) & David (spotter/driver/GPS operator) with Smurf (spotter/navigator). Well what a great day we all had. Really enjoyed meeting all those SA teams whose caches have been entertaining us and who we have been reading about on and off for more than six months. With family here we don't need much excuse to visit, but always love the SA caches as a special bonus. Really surprised at our good fortune in the rally. Thanks to all SA cachers who attended for contributing to the wonderful and friendly atmosphere, and particular thanks to Teams Piggy, Canyonero and GeoCoopers for the attention to detail in the organising which made everything run so smoothly and successfully. We and Slider & Smurf will have a high standard to live up to in arranging the next event. Hope to see any of you who decide to make the trip east to VIC. Let us know if you will be in our area.
