WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 7 - Jamestown to Whyalla via Caltowie , Melrose, Wilmington and Pt Augusta. I spent the morning doing a caching lap of Jamestown, including a previous DNF. Then I was on the road. I managed to stop regularly and in each of the small towns I passed though to do some of the caches along the way. As I went further west it began to warm up. I was very cold In Jamestown last night. I did some Labs in Melrose and in Whyalla before getting set up for the night and going on a short tour around town. With no one playing here today, and the mower man still getting set up by his shed, I went to this structure and soon saw an item that needed checking and I was very happy to find it had a cache log in it. A very nice way to hide a cache here.Thanks for the cache DennisC5246495.10 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2007 Compass Rose Gold A#76**Albida**

Sunny days visiting sister

Found!

Ggyy

Nearly gave up. Very clever. Cheers

After checking the structure eventually noticed something a little different. Great camo. TFTC

2nd time lucky. I'm glad it wasn't here before so I didn't feel so silly not finding it last time..

Cache replaced.

Checked today, and it has been muggled. I will replace it tomorrow once the glue sets lol.

We came, we looked, we DNF in the time we had, which really wasn't alot.

Can't find it

Try again another time...

Spotted it very quickly! Thanks for the cache

This was supposed to be a quick drive by on the way home from Arkaroola. We were attracted by all the favorite points, but sadly it has illuded us this time. TFTC anyway.

Very clever favourite point. Male chatterbox located it.
Why not get a pasty for lunch in Peterborough then head found to cache for today in Jamestown. Really well lived town. Cache all good.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. Tricky and clever hide - favourite point for sure.

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. This is a very clever hide, a fave point from us.

Day 3 of my short Geocaching weekend. Today I left White Cliffs Reserve zigzagging along the way finding what caches I had not found and ended up stopping in Yongala for the night.

I wasn't going to do to much here in Jamestown until tomorrow but seen the "Park and Play" name and wanted to see what this hide had in store. Another great hide.

Full time Nomads since March 2014.

Having been in Perth to visit family our stay has come to an end and we are on our way to Broken Hill for the Mundi Mundi Bash.

Stopping in Jamestown to catch up with Sylken. Luckily we were also able to catch up with Chrispy89 and Honeysucker. [^] Today we headed out between loads of washing to convert as many local caches as possible.

Grabbing a few more caches while staying in Jamestown.

We looked long and hard for this one in some light drizzle but eventually Mr sylken made the find.

This one deserves a favourite point from us.

Many thanks for the hide DennisC52

I came past here earlier in the evening and footy training was on, back later and no one was around so was able to search for the cache, I soon spotted the nicely hidden item and cache was signed

With a few days off back in Adelaide I decided to head to the mid north again after still having some caches to find up this way from my last visit 2 weeks ago, nice to be driving around on the back roads exploring new places and seeing the country side.

Thanks for the cache

Quick find while passing through the area.
Great hide!! Worth a fave point!

After nearly giving up we finally found it. Looks can be deceiving.

Very Clever! Found it.

Left the van at Spalding and caching around Jamestown, quick find here, tftc

TFTC very cleverly hidden

Found It!
Sneaky hide. Thankfully there was no one else around here today so after a good search of the structure I found the cache!

Quick find whilst passing thru the area
Cool spot, great cache

Round and round we went trying everywhere but where we finally found the sneaky hide

while wandering through the area on our way to somewhere else for a photo session we grabbed this cache

A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles covered

Thanks for placing them

Easy

To ez bro try harder

A clever hide indeed. TFTC

Peterborough to Jamestown
While towing the caravan we stopped along the highway where it is safe to pull over.
Once we had dropped our caravan at the camping ground we did a tour of town following the geocache trail. This was a good way to visit town for our 1st time.

Another great hide that works perfectly here. FP given

Thanks for placing the cache.

Second time in four caches that I have seen this clever hide. The village fair was on today.

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.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

After 4 hours of rogaining, we decided to find a cache or 2 on the way home. This one almost had us fooled! TFTC.

After 4 hours hiking through the bundaleer forest what else do you do on your way back to camp but find a geocache. We searched the wrong end to begin with but soon zeroed in a little better, I searched in all the wrong awkward spots while Tweety2 made the find. TFTC!

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

Tricky hide - just like one in Spalding I found yesterday - so cool

Thanks for the cache, DennisC52

Found cache in wrong spot and plastic bag and logbook about 6-7 metres away towards fence and partly wet. Manage to sign it and replace in correct place as per coordinates.

A nice quick find in the rain without getting too wet.

Wow well hidden! Tftc.

Ooh, toughy toughy! But we'll hidden!!

Took two visits but found a very tricky (sneaky?) cache. TFTC.

found very quickly great camo

Ty great find , good find Kayden

A bit puzzled here for some time, until one of those last looks spotted the cleverly camouflaged container. Points for ingenuity from us.

Clever!!! Cheers and tftc

TFTC. Gr8 cammo. Quick grab. Left

Go Magpies!! ️

I was in Jamestown for work so I found a few caches while I was here. Great camo on this cache. Favourite point from me. TFTC Dennis

Was getting extremely frustrated and very close to logging a DNF before playing a well known sesame street game and having a Booyah moment. Loved this one! TFTC

I was lucky to spot this one as I walked up to GZ.
Nice work...

Thanks

We went got a drive to pickup some boots fro
Jamestown did a couple geocaches and I thought I logged them as we drove around finding snd signing not so. Something g happened but now I’m logging for us TFTC

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021!
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]

DAY 5: Exploring some mid north towns.
What excellent camo. Took us quite a while and several laps of GZ until AnyMules found it. I think I walked straight past it 3 times. Gets a FP for fooling me. [:X][:X]

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks DennisC52 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Took a couple of loops before I spotted something different.

Thanks for the cache DennisC52.

Find #14783.

Looked at it plenty of times before grabbing it. Nice hide. TFTC.

We have been travelling around this great country, calling into see many different places,
now is a quick chance on the computer to catch up with logs and to put some smileys on the map for where we have been.
Thanks to all the COs for some great finds.
TFTC

Ok

Awesome - found in under a minute
With such excitement while the other two were on hands and knees looking for that elusive cache, it was a triumphant moment - definitely like this one!!
TFTC

Took us a while but we got there in the end!

After a morning with froghoppin and kellygang doing what cachers do... had to go find some more

Mr Frog kept me company while I cleaned up Jamestown - again !!!

Much appreciation and another fav to DennisC52 for hiding this "not a mint tin" cache on our SA geo map game board

Geocaches are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S20+, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck!

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... but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

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


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about especially away from the city crowds,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

After spending a fantastic day exploring some tracks in Wirrabara Forest it was time to head home, we decided to detour via Jamestown to have a look for this one as last time it was overun with a footy match, arrived on sunset but enough light to spot this clever cammoed cache, similar to a find some time back in Splading, A fav point from us
TFTC DennisC52

We had 7 people looking for it, sad faces for this one
Geocache wins this one !!

Wow!!! Awesome camo cache

Way too many muggles here today with the oval in full swing will call past another day. till then TFTC
