A quick find here on our way past today, cache is all goodCourtneyrose_ and I headed fora weekend away to Kangaroo Island, we came to check out the sights plus to compete in the Marathon. A great weekend away with a few caches found along the way.Thanks for the cache
Amanda is working for a while in KI and Ive come down to visit for a week. Doing our best to discover every cache on the island during our time. Driving to the south and west today to explore and grab as many as we can. We grunted and groaned as we hopped out of the car for this one - feeling the effects of the walk along Vivonne Beach and back to grab those two remote caches - luckily it was a quick find no too far off the road.TFTC Freddo
Whrend unseres Aufenthalts in Sdaustralien kamen wir auch hier vorbei. Danke frs Herfhren und Zeigen dieses speziellen Ortes.
Just realised we didn't log this one! Love these little back roads, always better than the black roads. (Not that there are many of them over here!) Thanks Freddo
We have arrived on Kangaroo Island for a 5 day break. We first had this trip planned several years back but that year KI had an extreme fire situation happen and we were offered a refund on our trip which we took. We have waited this long so that the island could regrow and show herself at her best. We have been using geocaching to guide us around and two days into our break we can certainly attest to her beauty. The caching has been interesting and we have many earth caches to write up and send to COs. All the caches we have found so far are in good condition. We did replace one log sheet. Up until today we have commented between ourselves about the fantastic condition of the roads we are driving on, today we managed to find roads that nearly shook our theeth from our heads. SL TFTC
Over in Kangaroo island for a weeks fishing trip with a few caches along the way. Quick grab here with no troubles. TFTC

bunadoorian and I were on our way back from the other end of the island with our muggle friend and we decided to stop and try and find this one. We found the cache in good condition. TFTC and for bringing us here Freddo.
Grub62 and I were passing by and thought another cache would be nice. Grub62 spotted this cache quickly and the cache was signed and returned. Thanks to Freddo for placing it and TFTC.
Quick stop between showers, was a bit spooky - plane flew over as I got to gz
Playing with bombs can be harmful. tin hats can help. The resident spider was huge. Almost needed some fireworks to clear him out. Thanks Freddo and clear skies from TeamAstro.

The biggest spider sitting on its egg sac greeted me. Carefully I extricated the cache, stamped and replaced without disturbing it. Thanks Freddo for bringing me here and contributing to this great game for others to enjoy. Happy trails, Deanside
Eek! Easy find, but a large guardian protecting the cache. No arachnids were harmed when retrieving the cache with a stick! TFTC
Quick find on our drive across the island! Thanks for putting it out here, and TFTC from Tennessee, USA
Found on our family holiday to Kangaroo Island. Day 3 on the island meant a big day trip to Flinders Chase. We found this one on our way back to base camp after a huge day touring. Nice quick find in good condition. TFTC Freddo.
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

Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Freddo the Chocolate Frog with a Tin Hat [^]I am visiting KI to maintain a cache that ended up being replaced by Liz and Bruce yesterday. But as the travel and accommodation was already was booked here we are with some spare time to catch up on unfound caches on the island and to show my international nephew some of the attractions and sights. He's not into geocaching but is loving the island.
Wondering what this was all about but then at GZ I understood completely. Boom Boom!
Thanks Freddo for placing and maintaining the cache

Thanks for arranging and hiding. Good to be having a look around the area. Caching with Wollaston and SeasonedBird.
Day 3 of a 6 night break on the island. After fighting off the cache guardian the hide was safe and sound. No explosives to be seen. Thank you for the placement of the Bomb Alley cache Freddo the Chocolate Frog with a tin hat find number 8453 on 11 September 2021 at 9:38 am
Almost had to hire a kayak to get to this one. Awesome names of the roads through here!
Bomb, a container carrying an explosive charge that is fused to detonate under certain conditions (as upon impact) and that is either dropped (as from an airplane) or set into position at a given point. In military science, the term “aerial bomb” or “bomb” denotes a container dropped from an aircraft and designed to cause destruction by the detonation of a high-explosive bursting charge or incendiary or other material. Bombs differ from artillery shells, missiles, and torpedoes in that the latter are all propelled through the air or water by a man-made agency, while bombs travel to their targets through the force of gravity alone. A major distinction must also be made between conventional bombs and atomic and thermonuclear bombs, which have a far greater destructive capacity. (See atomic bomb; thermonuclear bomb.)
Conventional bomb types
The typical conventional bomb is a streamlined cylinder that consists of five major parts: an outer casing, the inner explosive material, devices such as fins to stabilize the bomb in flight, one or more fuzes to ignite the bomb’s main charge, and a mechanism for arming the fuze or preparing it to explode. The outer case is most commonly made of metal and has a point at its tip, or nose. The explosive charge in most conventional bombs usually consists of TNT, RDX, ammonium nitrate, or other high explosives in combination with each other. The fin assembly at the tail end of the bomb enables it to fall through the air nose-first, by the same principle as the feathers on an arrow.
Bombs can be classified according to their use and the explosive material they contain. Among the most common types are blast (demolition), fragmentation, general purpose, antiarmour (armour-piercing), and incendiary (fire) bombs. Demolition bombs rely on the force of the blast to destroy buildings and other structures. They are usually fitted with a time-delay fuze, so that the bomb explodes only after it has smashed through several floors and is deep inside the target building. Fragmentation bombs, by contrast, explode into a mass of small, fast-moving metal fragments that are lethal against personnel. The bomb case consists of wire wound around an explosive charge. General-purpose bombs combine the effects of both blast and fragmentation and hence can be used against a wide variety of targets. They are probably the commonest type of bomb used. Armour-piercing bombs have a thick case and a pointed tip and are used to penetrate armoured or hardened targets such as warships and bunkers. Bombs of the aforementioned types generally range in size from 100 to 3,000 pounds (45 to 1,360 kg). The largest bomb ever regularly used was the British “Grand Slam” type, which weighed 22,000 pounds (10,000 kg) and was used in World War II.

Mr and Mrs Parrot took a trip overseas to Kangaroo island for the week.
We had a lovely time finding caches and interacting with the people selling produce and food to the public.
It fabulous to see the green starting to come back into the fire ravaged areas. We had hired a house in Kingscote and ventured out each day in a different direction to see the sights and what the island had t off.
We also picked up 60 odd caches along the way.
My thanks for the quick responses to the Geocaches and the virtual cache which we sorted out before logging.
It was good to be able to complete Wonders of the world and become an Ultimate Explorer during my stay.
First find for a new day.

A Quick east find on our drive around today, been to KIS to try the gin and a winery to try the red. Off to continue our adventures around the island. TFTC Freddo
We were very lucky to be able to spend time with family on the Island and introduced our grandson to caching. He had a great time seeing the wildlife, playing on a playground and finding 'treasure'.
