Nice spot. At GZ... alas the hint is no more, it's completely gone, but cache is still there.TNLNSL Thanks

Found further away than expected

Long way on pushbike. Not many bike tracks. Easy find once we got here. Will try to find better track homeTFTC

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on. SA caching foray. Staying in Mount Gambier for a week to grab some of the local hides. Its been sixteen years since since we were last here so enjoying the re-visit. Love the country town hides. Question A had us confused but sussed it out. Made quick find at gz although hint no longer applies. It would be ideal if a checker was included on the listing. Thanks for the hide JonesSisters2

We are travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. This is the last cache we will be doing this visit. TFTC JonesSisters2. LNCU.

We were in Portland visiting dad and decided to combine some geo caching with some exercise so headed to Mt Gambia to try our luck at some multies and some Puzzles we had solved.This was an interesting page about labyrinths that one of us did not know. We headed to WP1 and collected our answers, with 1 PAF and learnt a bit about the local area before heading off to a very interesting GZHere the cache was eventually located where we thought it would be but kept choosing the wrong one. J After adding our name to the log we returned every thing as it was and headed back to the car.Many thanks JonesSisters2 for an interesting cache page and WP1 and the nice hide at GZ

Couldnt find. Even with my lucky charm FlirtinWithDanger

DNF today. Dismal blue sadface!

Second attempt found thanks

Mmmmmmmm lack of trees

Found whilst out and about with GTA5 and TheTravellingBees on a day out in the mount.Thanks for the placement xx

TFTC! 28 December 2023 3:17:43pm 6691A lovely walk around town. Stopped on our way through to Millicent.

round and round we go which entrance no one knows. found as part of our epic Christmas pilgrimage with TR! and GTA5TFTC

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... You are only as good as your next find.

Sad we had no luck

Today we had to go to the Mount so added a few caches to the day to get my fix and make the 200km round trip worth while.Wasnt really sure what I was doing here or whether my final was correct as it seemed a long way from the starting point. Once we got to GZ I knew I was in the right place. Obviously the cache was found in the last place I looked which definitely wasnt the first place I checked. TFTC

TFTC. Bit of a challenge but got there in the end with help of a fellow cacher who used to live down here.

A gr8 little hunt on our travels. Interesting & enjoyable diversion into the local history. GZ must have been a fitting finale, before the Tree split the scene ! TFTC JonesSisters2

TFTC cool spot

TFTC

As the last finder expected, the tree had in fact split and had fallen. Couldn’t find anything, not sure if the tree falling limited us or if we were looking in the wrong area altogether

Heading home after a work week in the mount nice way to start journey

TFTC on a visit from Tassie
Off to the Blue Lake now
Took us longer to find the cache than it should have, took the hint in the end!
Tree has a massive split down the middle of the trunk, wouldn’t be surprised if it comes down in the next storm

Staying down this way for a couple of nights and today, after finding a few selected multis in Mount Gambier, headed down to Port MacDonnell, hoping to clear the area of unfound physical caches. Had a rewarding day, dodging the showers, sometimes, and only missed one traditional that, without swimming, was never going to be found in the all too few hours spent in this lovely little seaside village, hope it stays that way.
This one gave me some trouble because of my false assumption/guess. Suffice to say, I now know what a zen circle is. Once at GZ, which had to be GZ, it did take a while before the cache was spotted.
Thanks JonesSisters2 for putting out this cache for all to find.
Cache #13381 for me.

****SA’s Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!****

Nice spot. Had me looking for a while

Day with my daughter
Had us running circles looking for this quick cach

Trying to squeeze some geocaching into our itinerary on our family holiday when the kids and hubby are interested.
Luckily the kids were VERY into running around and around the labyrinth!

Geohubby and quickly solved the coords then it was just a matter of getting the kids to leave the labyrinth in search of GZ- which they equally enjoyed!

TFTC!

I was obviously in the right place - another labyrinth.
I walked around in circles a few times, in frustration. I couldn't find the damn thin. Why, oh why do people use micro caches? I am sure a larger cache would have been better.

TFTC JonesSisters2 for your cache Walking in Circles which we found today. We have been camped at Penola for the past week enjoying the area and the caching. Today we decided to head to Mount Gambier. The aim was to complete the Adventure Labs and to complete some more of the multis and solved puzzles. We would also attempt any other caches close by. We succeeded in finishing all the Adventure Labs as well as 13 other caches. A great day.

A very appropriate final location

Find count: 15511

quick soolve and quick find.
Left with Mogni the day before Christmas to go down to Mount Gambier for Christmas Day. Then on the 27th left for Victoria. Plan A was to go to the Ottway Rangers, complete the Geo tour in Ballarat and then head to Geelong and take the Queenscliff ferry over to Sorrento then grabbing new LGA's on route to almost the New South Wales/Victoria border and the old 2001 cache near there. Also attending a community day event, a CITO and a couple of other events as well. Then head in to the high country and come back to SA in 11 days. Things didn't go to plan. Turns out that one of my almost new tyres was defective ( side wall blown out ) and blew in the ottway ranges on a narrow road in the rainforest, Drove to Melton to stay overnight and get a new tyre there, tyre machine broken and the other 5 tyre companies not open so off to geelong for a new tyre ( and some caches on the way and in geelong ) . The event we where going to attend in geelong didn't turn out, he was late by ALOT to his own event.Then to ballarat to same day since we had a b&b booked for the next few nights. Planned on getting the ferry at 1200 and ended up on the 400 pm ferry but we did attend a event and CITO in geelong. Then we drive into the rear end of a thunder storm with forecast 20 mm dropping for the next few days. Cancel the high country and change targets to letterbox D/T for fizzy grid only using letterboxes and same wirh the multi fizzy grid plus fizzy grid only using victorian caches plus any challenge caches we where near. Plus getting a few more victorian 2001 caches. And finally any caches that had 40 more more favourite points. Only got soaked to the bone for a couple of days but the water on the tracks was noticeable. On the return home tried to get the rest of the missing LGA's around the Melbourne CBD i missed in the last mega. Still a fun trip was had if not the planned one.

On a Christmas Holiday with sir_spectre, visiting family in Mount Gambier and then on to Victoria to visit some new places as well as some old haunts.
Thanks to JonesSisters2 from mogni

Almost didn’t take the plunge but glad we did!!!

Mount Gambier staying at the showground Day3
This is a wonderful town that we have visited before, but we are still amazed at what the town has to offer.
Today we travelled around the outskirts of town caching as we explored the area.
Thanks for placing your cache.

After the mornings cold wet start the clouds cleared for a couple of hours so we took the opportunity to stretch the legs, have walked around this one once before but as it was getting late in the day and the clouds were once more menacing we collected the info and set off to the new GZ once there we knew we were on the right path and the cache was soon in hand
TFTC JonesSisters2

Wasn’t sure I had the right numbers, but trusted in a higher power followed the GPSr to the indicated GZ, and located the cache, despite the inclement weather. Thanks for the cache JonesSisters2

Loved this multi and even found out about Zen Circles!!
The theme continued with the nice GZ.
A fav point from us.
TFTC

We were heading home after a few days at Millicent and we decided to stop for this cache before lunch.
We enjoyed the starting location and soon had some numbers although we were not quite sure of A.
However after checking out where the calculated co-ordinates would take us we felt that it was a likely location.
So after lunch we headed to our GZ and luckily for us the cache was there. It all made sense now.
Thanks to JonesSisters2 for this interesting multi.

Time to head for home now.

We found this cache today on our Mount Gambier Labs and More Meander on our route to home. Thanks from D & HA B-A

Nein

Yes

South East trip with the geo-pup. Day 7, around Mt Gambier.

We had no clue was A was referring to, so had a couple of choices (a checksum would be handy, especially when GZ is so far away). Once we got to our second choice, it was obvious we were in the right spot.

TFTC

Found as I headed back home to Adelaide after a few days caching and camping in the Portland area.

The required information was collected without any difficulty and final coordinates calculated. It was then a short drive to an appropriate GZ for a quick find at GZ.

Thanks JonesSisters2, and a favourite point for a nicely themed multicache.

Out for a long weekend road trip with an owl and a dragon.

We passed by the cache then went around in circles trying to find a different way in. Once the driver was convinced there was only one way we returned only to go around in circles looking for the cache. (Owl then told us a story from the bible about choices and equated the story to the circles.)

Thanks for a well themed cache JonesSisters2, Definitely worth a fav point.

A trip down to Mt Gambier had been planned with Doctor Owl and sushilord and today we concentrated around Mt Gambier with a stop to pick up Bowerbird then morning tea before heading out again. [^]

Owl had done the leg work for this one on a previous visit so we headed to GZ where the cache was soon found. Enjoyed the labyrinth.

Thanks for the cache JonesSisters2.

Owl, Sushilord and JJ52 had been planning a trip to Mount Gambier since Bowerbird's accident and it was finally happening! They picked her up for morning tea and a "couple of caches" that spread out to 3 hours of caching. This was a multi Owl had prepared on an earlier trip but didn't have the time to complete. Took a bit of circling the area to make sure it was the right place but once there it became obvious where the cache was and it gave a chance for ow to show off her knowledge of such structures. Enjoyed the surprise at the end of this one. Thanks.

Quick find after going around in circles. Nice queit spot for a cache. Found to get the 22022022 souvenir

What a peaceful spot! Wonderful work ladies TFTC

First for the day (and the year) and it's always good to start with a find .
This was an interesting journey and we were surprised where it led, not just under a bush somewhere outside of town .
It took us awhile to understand the terminology , so made a (positive) guess, which soon had us at GZ .
TNLNSL.
Thanks JonesSisters2.

Found after the New Years event. Tftc.

Quick and easy find with The Teddies

Out with the Rolly Girls again first find of the day

Took a couple of goes to get correct contact ords
Found on a day's caching with Linda,LIB

Day 2 of a short stay in Millicent. Gwen from The X-Trailers found the cache.
We went in circles once or twice because I over thought the answer to A.
A fav for a fitting final GZ
Just missing earthlight who couldn't be with us at this time.

TFTC JonesSisters2

ABCDEF. [:o)][:o)]

Yes, all good except well A. We still looked at the A we got but came up empty handed. Some A's a re good, some A's are bad. We saw the err of out ways and we found the cache a few hours later. Zen can happen eventually if you try.

Thanks to JonesSisters2 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

After a bit of a far too zen moment with A, a likely GZ came to light. Loved it. TFTC

Found after going around in circles with my Nana & sister

Found with my Nana. We walked around & around.

This afternoon my Granddaughters wanted to go caching...there was only a couple of choices here...the co-ordinates lead us to a great little place...we didn't take the easy way to the centre but followed the lines around & around...the girls had a great time...we ended up finding the cache...stamped, placed back as found and moved on...
TFTC JonesSisters2

Found with gridge98 today out caching on the Millicent mega weekend

Thanks for the cache

We stopped by waypoint one and couldn’t work out one of the answers, so a quick PAF and we got pointed in the right direction. After a coffee stop we made our way to HZ where not a single person could be seen. Cache is all good

Day 3 of the Millicent mega, we headed out to do some caching between Millicent and the Mount before heading north and completing the AooA series and a few others in the area. We soon headed to Penola for my celebration event followed by the near by CITO. After some tourist stuff back at the mount we detoured via a few caches before reaching the accommodation for the evening and getting a flat tyre.

Thanks for the cache

Found this one caching with Nanny (scramping) and Zander_25. TFTC

Found this one caching with Nanny (scramping) and Imogen_Lee. TFTC

Found after getting the answers to the multi with Imogen_Lee, Zander_25 and Belimozan. Great multi, I love mazes. TFTC

A quick last minute dash over the border before Victoria goes into Lockdown 6.0, as I had planned to travel over tomorrow, after gathering some gear I came over to collect I grabbed a few caches including this one I solved during my last visit to Mount Gambier. Loved the way the start and the finish tied together.
Thanks JonesSisters2

Not sure we found it, there was no log sign in

Did this one , lovely walk

Out caching with Beaker today.
I didn’t even know this place was here
TFTC

Found today with Kellmik. As today is the solstice it felt like a good time to grab some caches... and the sun was out too which helped. Never knew about this other spot!!

Got silver a month after the cache was published, got to be happy with that. Very good idea for the final too, I had forgotten it existed until arriving at the location.

Thanks for a great cache, we both really enjoyed this one. A very apt name for the cache.
We had no idea what a zen circle or labyrinth was till we did this and I was happy with the info learned Hubby was also happy to sign the cache.
Ground zero was a pleasant surprise, so peaceful.
A favourite point given for the effort you’ve put in here, very clever
