Channeling along Glossop, South Australia, Australia
By crane2 on 18-Nov-21. Waypoint GC9JH79

Contents were spread around and the container has suffered badly from UV. As I found a couple a couple of trackables there , l placed the contents in a new container and re hid it along with the old container. TFTC

First and only find while in SA. Just had to drop off some travel bugs before returning to VIC. Cache container is cracked and needs replaced. Log is fine.

Easy find with muggle husband. He was happy to get it because he got to look at the channel. Cache has seen better days. Bit broken but still dry. TFTC TNLNSL

Caravan trip to the Riverland. Day 5, Gluepot to Berri.Great history, thanks for highlighting, fave from us.TFTC

Quick find with plesiosaur22 and CPwanderer on a warm day.Spotted this one as we approached.TFTC crane2

Interesting that most channels have been covered up but the whole system is so different than the swamps system down the lower Murray. TFTC crane2.

Easily spotted as we walked up!! Thanks for the hide!!

I can't believe it still has water!

Day 3 of my Geocaching weekend away to do a maintenance Run on all my caches along the Murray River and surrounding areas. Today was from Berri back to Tarlee. I checked a few more of my hides and even run in to a couple of interstate Geocachers and found a few more caches along the way.Sorry for the generic log but trying to catch up on my backlog of found caches before the new year.TFTC crane2

Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache

Well hidden and in plain sight
We ran past it at first!!!

So fun can't wait to do it with more family

Great channeling left a stamp on me

An interesting sight on the back roads of Berri. Bright green water is a treat.

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.

Thought we'd take off a different way and see some sights! Purrfect Di made sure we brought the cameras too! Jack helped a bit.

A nice quick find by the channel in the dark!

Much thanks to crane2 for placing and maintaining this cache on our ever growing SA geo-map

Exploring wherever we can - searching, spotting hidden items and signing cache logs using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just a guess or plain old dumb luck
Plenty of the luck stuff actually !!!

*Almost all the online logs are composed and published with GSAK of course.*

Beware ! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, floodwaters, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for bugs !!! . [xx(]

Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - cache the countryside


Great of all those placing quality caches out and about around the country areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

We do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!




C'est Fini.

While travelling through the area we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

An interesting way they irrigate the area. Caches and contents were very good.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Staying in the park at Berri a d also checking some local display gardens we made find and sign here.
I recall my first visit to this area and the water irrigation channels.
It was nice to see this one still flowing.

Out caching with WA Geo Buddies iluvtrekking. Today we headed off to visit Berri together after lunch we parted ways to attempt caches that each other had already found. Trying to stay in the afternoon drizzle.

Good little hiding spot!

Found It!
These old channels look like they would've been a big job to build. I guess pipes were just too expensive all those years ago?

Out and about with AnyMules, Trigger_Fish and hevwalker
TFTC crane2. Found on 19 Aug 2022 at 10:24 pm. Find # 2593

In Berri tonight on my way to the 3 states event this weekend. I went out with AnyMules, KiwiOzzie & Trigger_Fish to grab a few caches that have popped up since I was last here in the Riverland.
We were here at night but managed to stay clear of the channel.

Another quick find while cleanup green dots in the area.

I found this D1.5/T1.5 Traditional on 19/8/2022 at 22:24. It was find #15426 for me. Thanks crane2 for placing and maintaining this for us to enjoy in the wonderful state of South Australia.

Found today while on a day trip to Monash. A very cute little channel compared to what we have back home. Thanks for highlighting this area.

Found it and swapped some toys

Mr 3yo Greeno wanted to go on an “adventure” so we picked this one up. Apparently the only adventures you can have are geocaching adventures! TFTC!

Gotcha

Out on a drizzly and chilly day with iluvtrekking. Quick find thanks crane2.

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
Based in Loxton, today we wandered up to Berri and the surrounding area geocaching in freezing conditions along our route. Thanks for your cache

Quick stop on my way elsewhere...
Further upriver, in Mexico and their neighbour, they're still using massive channels to distribute water.... sad

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 16. The next phase of my journey is underway. I am in Loxton. I was with Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny to attempt to finish the On You Bike where-i-go caches. We have managed to solve them all before we arrived. Day 6 in the River land. As we had accomplished the On your Bike caches, the others headed back east to stop at Mildura for the paddle steamer caches, but I am based in Adelaide at the moment, so could not go. I spent the day out and about collecting caches in the region before heading to Lake Bonny and then Berri, finishing the day in Katarapko National park.

This trip to Loxton had been a year coming as I had missed out last year due to other commitments. The group had increased and the target list of caches was much higher. It had been a group effort to deal with all the jigsaw puzzles and then the Reverse Where-i-gos were sorted out with the various online tools. The trip was looking at risk as the COVID situation stretched and stretched, but at least SA kept to its plans to open the borders and we all jumped through the hoops required to get across the border. The weather was looking extreme as the journey approached and it did not disappoint. The daytime temps were from 36-42 over the days of this exercise and it made for some hard work and lots of water usage.

Thanks for the cache crane2

last cache found on my birthday. found after dinner before dark. quick find. safe from UV rays there.
Out with the Mogni for a short trip out to the riverland, only 3 days. It was hot first 2 days where 40 degrees and the last day was 33 degrees. Since the rules just changed about covid 19 testing before and after entering vic to no testing, we changed our plans on the way up and decided to go via Murray Sunset National Park. The idea was to find as many caches as we could that haven't been found recently most hadn't been found in 3 months. On day 1 we replaced 10 out of the first 12 caches, all broken container and 1 log book replaced, and by the end of the day had a heaped medium bin liner bag full of broken containers, the hot mallee sun doesn't do the plastic containers any good. Day 2 saw us caching around Loch Luna and lake Bonney which is way easier driving around here in the dry then in the rain like my last visit here. Onlt 1/2 a medium bin liners back of replaced containers today, people must fix the closer to the highway caches more often. On day 3 it was back in to the mallee country and home via Pinnaroo. Getting those " out of the way caches ". Plenty of dirt roads where driven down and many, many back sandy tracks taken. It was good to explore all the country areas and stay off the highway.

My first cache for 2022

Sir_spectre and I are spending a few days in the Riverland and although we had already hsd a big day of caching we needed to grab just a couple more.
Thanks

We didn't have to go too far to find this one. Tftc

Joint *FTF* wahoo! Saw this one pop up last night and much to our surprise, it was still awaiting a finder this morning. Thanks for continuing to highlight the local history. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC crane2

Joint *FTF* with Wollaston and SeasonedBird. Great to be in the right place at the right time. Thanks crane2

Out on a *FTF* caching adventure with Wollaston and HRH Liz&Bruce. It’s great to see new caches pop up especially about local history and hidden gems.
