Came back for a 2nd visit as it's a really cool cache. Slightly different location which confused me but once I read thru logs I realised what had happened! Thanks for maintaining!

Wow, the regrowth is thick along this little back road!Good to see the area recovering, some rain would help!Nice spot, great views on a very smoky afternoon.TFTC PSGv1

Wow - what a great cache. I liked the container and the fact you literally bought us along this goat track. We found the cache after following the obvious caching track and then we realised why we needed to do the calculation. Some quick maths and we had the logbook stamped. Thanks for brining us to this amazing area. TNLN. Cheers.

TFTC. Wow what a track/road Found the answer spot b4 we found GZ. All math is incorrect and so is the clue. Thanks to previous finder for posting correct numbers. I would have got the bolt cutters

Found this with my geo daughter and granddaughter. Took us a moment to locate it but unlocked the padlock with no worries. Resident huntsman was happily sleeping in the corner. Not sure why the white container is in there. TFTC TNLNSL
 
05-Feb-23
Nice find and the resident Huntsman was sleeping in the corner. Visited on a trip out with BearyOrganised and Tigtog08. Be careful doing this one when hot due snake risk and the road might be dicey if wet. Tftc

A nice drive up the Goat Track : ) I walked past something that caught my eye (turned out it was worth keeping in mind, as I came back to it, being rubbish at maths as I am....).

Made the surprising find and appreciated the effort so much that I celebrated with a little spray of WD40, which should help things along..... : )

Nice views from up here too. TFTC

Having just celebrated a tenth year caching anniversary the only thing to do on a day off was to get out and find more caches. Lovely sunny day for it. So here we are at yours!

We came. We admired the views. We did maths. Di found the thing that made us not need the maths. We looked at GZ by coordinates... nothing butu a new fence, and the old gate in the weeds! Surprised

But then we looked further. Views over there. In the bushes... on the ground... yup that's a cache alright! Possibly not where it's meant to be, but we tried to make it be at least upright.

Device worked. It opened. Signed log and on our way Big Grin


Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nice hills. Razz

Much thanks to PSGv1 for placing this cache on our SA geo game map Cool

Found with Purrfect Di and Jack.
We had a lovely day touring to the south and saw many fine views, some friendly cows, a goat with no road sense, and a tiny creature escaping from a wedge tailed eagle we startled Surprised[:o)]Cool

Safe caching and HAPPY NEW YEAR Smile 2022

Hunting around every day finding and signing using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, 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 WinkCoolBig Grin Quite a lot of that actually!!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

Please do stay as safe as possible when caching.
Keep a lookout for bogs, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, 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 from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on Big Grin
Now our borders are open - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Much appreciation of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting Cool

Hmmmm. Brand new fence may explain why we couldn't find?? Either that or we are just amateurs..... Sorry, DNF
 
11-Dec-21
Tftc ...what a hill! This was my 400th find!!! Left a couple lions. Took nothing.
Maths is not my strong point so the hint was good!

Working on this site so after closing the gate very quick math and say hello to the postie. TFTC

What a fantastic location. Even room to do a U turn with a view. This is why I love geocaching! A rare Astro Fav point awarded to this one.

Thanks to PSGv1 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Had a fun time finding the correct route into GZ but got there eventually
Cheers and thanks for a fun hunt

Nice area and road name. Took the easy way out and found the numbers close by. Saw 2 huge kangaroos nearby and also plenty of evidence of fire damage all around these parts.
Thanks PSGv1 for the cool hide.
 
21-Aug-21
Nice little rollercoaster road Razz! The end of the track is also a great vantage point to check out the surrounding countryside - lush and green on our visit Cool.
Sorted the numbers and found we'd been beaten here by Matmob today Big Grin.
TNLNSL.
Thanks PSGv1.

Loved it! Pays to read the instructions properly!

Mr Tardis went for a great motorbike ride through some back roads and tracks, and stopped here to find this one. Some great views here, and its quite satisfying to observe the vegetation regrowing after the fire.

I did some maths and managed to gain access to the nice sized cache. The lock could do with some oil or WD40 as it was starting to rust shut, and needed some encouragement.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache PSGv1.

It was certainly a circuitous route to get to this cache. Despite all the rain, the road was in good condition and we negotiated the steep sections without any hassles. The only problems were climatic - heavy rain and strong winds. Once at GZ, the required information was calculated and we had access to the cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks PSGv1 for the cache
 
13-Jul-21
Tftc! Don't do what I did with this one "oh this will be a fun bike ride out here! The hill is HUGE!! However a great cache, no swaps so I left a few... now to get back down!

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted 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 to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

Today (in fact for all of June) all I needed was to find a multi cache today! [^] That should be easy.Wink And I had left my closest to home multi cache at Lobethal specifically for today. Cool But this little letterbox cache had popped up since I last had been to Lobethal. So I made the detour to call in at this cache on my sort-of roundabout trip to Lobie. Surprised At GZ the cache was indeed obvious. But as usual as I am one of the four out of three people that can't do math I tried a wrong code in the field puzzle. SurprisedRed FaceRed Face A check rework in my mind, s smack on the forehead, changed one number and I had the cache in hand. Smile Plenty of regrowth to see today!

***Thanks PSGv1 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin

Some quick maths and signed the logbook. TFTC

Today with an event in the hills I left home early to collect a few caches in the hills before the event and stopped by 2 caches on the way home

A nice detour through the back roads, pity this wasn’t listed as a letterbox instead of a traditional.
Puzzle solved and the lock undone

Found during a circuit around the Hills to clear up some caches in the area. Enjoyed the drive out to this one. Thanks for the cache PSGv1!

Was too tired for maths tonight, so used the hint method.
Nice work on the hide.

Owl has had a busy few weeks, so it was past time for a maintenance run. Having done what she needed to do it was time for a bit of recreation. This was one of those days she should not have been caching - miscounted numbers, spelling errors, cache blindness. All in all, not her finest day. However, no DNFs! This one took longer to get to than to find and at least she could add up this time. Great views and a great cache. Love your work!
 
03-Apr-21
This cache was getting as favourite point even before I got to it!! Billy Goat Hill Rd. is certainly a fun ride!! Cache quickly located and opened!!! Excellent work PSGv1 !!!!!

This cache is not a long way from where I live, but was an adventure to get to as I’m not familiar with these backroads. A fun find just after sunset. I’ve left a TB. Thanks for placing PSGv1.

A massive cache in an amazing location. This is what caching is all about. The finds in places you would never visit if you were not caching. Thanks for placing a truly 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 with 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.

A surprise silver today. A nice road there and on a different dirt road back. Have not been on either. Good views. Thanks PSGv1.

Was expecting friends for dinner when this one came out and knew there wouldn't be time to go straight out for it but was pleasantly surprised to to see it still hadn't been logged nearly five hours later after they'd gone home so had to rush out with hopes high.
Still no logs when almost to GZ on the very roller coaster style dirt road. Had a chat to a local who was out walking a very nice husky, he just happened to be a lapsed cacher. Spotted the cache and the decorated stump but did the arithmetic anyway and quickly accessed the cache and found the desired virgin log. Don't normally take trackables but liked this one so took "Picture This! #3" to start it on it's way. Now home to do the dishes.
Thanks PSGv1 for this cache in a nice location
