Our first day of caching in the Murray Bridge area for this trip and decided to target the icecream puzzles that we'd worked out, this cache on the way to the start point was a good one to get our eye in. TFTC

Day out on the bikes around MB.Started to doubt the coords, then got the heads up!TFTC

Found it while out caching for the day with Earthlight TFTC Loved it x

Found with RKM Chocolate Thunda. Loved this themed cache hide TFTC

Thanks Ghosty7 for bringing us here Tftc

Day 2 of my holiday to the JLW event in Lameroo and then off interstate for a few weeks. Today I started the day off in Walker Flat and made my way towards Lameroo stopping in Wynarka for the night. I managed to get 40 caches today and 2 DNF's along the way.Cute hide. I wasn't thinking that would be the hiding spot.TFTC Ghosty7

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Murray Bridge to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Co-ords bang on for us. Thanks for the hide Ghosty7

Travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip.We are staying in Murray Bridge for a few days and doing a bit of sightseeing around the area using geocaching as our guide. TFTC.

Adelaide Leap Day trip. Day 12.and Tasmania Trip Day 1. The next phase of my journey begins today as I head across towards Geelong to catch the ferry to Tasmania tomorrow night. Apart from one DNF from my last trip I did not stop till some of the new counties in Victoria. I had a big plan for the day but cut it short as the pub I selected to stay in was so relaxing, I could not get out again. I did not see any signs of the fires, so that was good, but it was a long drive and I left my lunch board at the first cache in Victoria. Oh well. A great night in the pub, doing logs in the front bar and a nice lamb cutlet dinner.I failed to find this on my last trip, but many people have found it since, so I had to stop again. Today my gps took me abut 15m further along the road, and I was very happy to see the interesting container straight away.Thanks for the cache Ghosty745761.1 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 1000 Finds Achievement A#85**Albida**

Found with FUF009. Today was all about Mannum and the surrounding area. It was a very warm day. We found lunch at Walker Flat. What a great place to find when you're hungry and thirsty. I had hoped to be out of the heat by mid afternoon, but it ended up being dinner time by the time we got back. All caches were found without issue. Tftc

Find # 13703I'm in the Adelaide area for the Great Leap Forward event. Not just for the days event, but making it a week long trip of caching n catching up with mates.Found with sharkiefanSigned as FUSHDay 4. Out to Mannum for an event. Then onto a couple of short trails. And stopping for the odd icon on the map. TFTC Ghosty7

A quick and easy find.More of a jug head really.Needed to tip a heap of dead beetles out of the outer layer.TFTC

Out caching with Go Grandys after looking for awhile Mr Go Grandys found this cacheLoved the camo Signed Log and replaced where foundThanks for placing this cache for our enjoyment Ghosty7TFTC

Christmas trip to Adelaide 2023. Day 15. Travel home Day 1. I set out on a very hot morning to get to Hay for the evening. I stoped several times along the way. Tailem Bend, Sherlock & Peake for caching. I also stopped at Ouyen and briefly at a few other places along the way. Despite the heat there were some quite dramatic rain storms to drive through. It was all managed safely and I had dinner in Hay before a night at a local hotel. This was an inauspicious start to the day, I also failed to locate this one, even though there were a few likely spots. Thanks.Albida

A pitstop on the way to to the Wandering Heroes. I struggle to keep on top of all the caches down this way, and I see that this one has been out for almost two years now. A quick find here. Thanks for the cache Ghosty7. If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.- Mark Twain

DNF today

With some decent weather today, I decided to head back out to Talem bend for some caching. Having gone down to Meningie last weekend, I was nearly able to do the remaining caches in Talem Bend on my way home that I was yet to find; I ran out of time that day, however, so I was determined to get back and finish of those caches and do more in the surrounding area. I quickly breezed through what I had left to find in Talem Bend before making my way north to complete the nearby cache trails. One of my goals for the day was to complete the Ice-cream geo art along with as many of the other caches in the area. It was a good day for caching as I was able to quickly work my way through the Happy Armpit series before moving on to the desired geo-art. This was a fun series to complete as all caches were eventually found, though there was the occasional challenge in finding the odd cache. With the trail completed I was able to find a couple of other caches nearby before it got dark and I made my way home. This was an enjoyable day of caching as I was able to get a lot of the caches I was after, though there are still plenty of caches on the area for me to come back for; with all caches were found in good condition unless otherwise stated.Find #7999, at 02:30 pmTFTC

Found during the Annual Father/Daughter Fathers Day Trip
I'm not saying I found this one before Dad ........but I did

TFTC

Out today with Magic[8] to celebrate the annual Father’s Day pilgrimage around the regions of Sth Aust.
Today was a mixed bag with more Finds than DNF’s, lucky us.
Thanks for placing and managing the upkeep of hides, regardless of whether we won or failed.

Magic[8] found it after the Little Devil walked past it TWICE!

Along with our travelling and caching companions the Suscoes we made an early start from Bordertown and set out for Murray Bridge. Of course there were many stops to stretch our legs and look for caches!
Nice quick cache find here with great views across the river flats.

Thanks to Ghosty7 for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Suscoe and Phetlern were heading to Murray Bridge today.
It was a lovely sunny August day, a cool start but then it warmed up to the low 20's.
We found a good range of caches and enjoyed our trip heading north west up the highway.
Thanks to Ghosty7 for this hide. A good view up here.

Say farwell Yorke Pennisula, so great enjoyed …
Accompanied with All7 and deafphathom trip to murray bridge and Millicent for geoarts..

Good to see Mark out here!!

Thanks Ghosty7 and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Another one makes me a good smile.
Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

I am trying to hit a major milestone in April and this weekend was my chance to get closer to my goal. Sir_spectre generously helped me find 50+ caches and all caches were replaced better than found.
Thanks to Ghosty7 from mogni

found the cache beside the fence in the middle of the ground. Searched more and found the themed container. Over all a quick find and replace.
Found with Mogni. Mogni wants to get to 20, 000 by the Rutherglen Mega in Victoria and make that event her 20, 000 th. So we went out to complete the " Ice cream " series and the " Straya " challenge series plus some extras along the way. 78 ccahes stamped today but since some of them are challenege caches less than 78 were finds. The route to the geo arts was the long way, this was because the main road to Strathalbyn was closed due to road works and the detour was through Milang.

Still heading south for the weekend and another opportunity to stretch the legs, today we were on the right side of the highway and the short detour had us at GZ neat little hide all in good condition
TFTC Ghosty7

Leaving Murray Bridge this morning, we decided to have ourselves some ice cream first. We stopped by to say hello to Mark twain on the way.
Thanks Ghosty7.
A lovely surprise!
Domsky

We approached this cache from the wrong direction at first but it did not take long for us to head to the right elevation. SL TFTC

Another day, another cache to find, or two, or three...

It was indeed nice to get ahead on this cache... maybe Mark would be impressed by our river right now!

Our appreciation to Ghosty7 for planning and maintaining this cache on our ever growing SA cache map!

Travelling all over 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
Heaps of the luck stuff really !!!

*Most of 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, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is 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 !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...

Another find on a lovely day of caching with Ismartis while trying to the next souveneir. Loved the cache container, lovely all round. Great views. Tftc

After our little adventure out to Sherlock today , we picked up a few other caches on our way home, this being one of them .
Kind of have to go around the block to get here from the south-east . Spent a very long time looking, even looking in places a second time - then found it in a place we'd missed [B)].
Cool container . TNLNSL.
Thanks for another one Ghosty7.

A day out was planned with Michells&hound and allister w with the target being the Straya challenges and of course there was a list of other caches to find along the way. We were pleasantly surprised to see 4 new Adventure Labs in Tailem Bend so we added those to our list and completed them before heading out to some Wandering Heroes and Straya. A fun day finding all the caches we looked for and even managed to be finished and on our way home before the rain set in. [^]

A quick find here on our way past.

Thanks for the cache Ghosty7.

A fun day with JJ52 and Michell&hound. The plan was to find the Straya Series even thou I only qualify for 2 and a few others around it. But we ended up finding a heap of Adventure Lab caches in Tailem Bend and a heap of others which I am now logging. It was a great day, awesome drive around the country side. Thanks for the info on Samuel and the cache Ghosty7

The AnyMules Mystery Tour
Is waiting to take you away
Waiting to take you away

AnyMules had an unusual day off in the middle of the week and he was available for the Wednesday Wander of the Befuddled Puzzlers. So it was decided he would take the group wherever he wanted in search of solved puzzle and anything else that might come into view. Only myself and AnyMules were available and off we set towards Yumali and who know where else. A mystery tour indeed almost into Victoria and to some pretty obscure off the normal routes. Here's what we did.

That wasn't here last time I drove down this highway! Oh well a short detour and short search and we made the find.

***Thanks Ghosty7 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

I found this D1.5/T1.5 Traditional on 21/9/2022 at 10:13. It was find #15574 for me. Thanks Ghosty7 for placing and maintaining this for us to enjoy in the wonderful state of South Australia.

Found right on dusk and should of used my big torch but after running around the wrong obvious places instead of looking at the compass I put my hand on the cache at last. TFTC.

A quick park & find

Was being taxi driver for DPA down to The Bend for the Supercars today. Between drop off and pick up it was time for some caching. Main aim was the South Australian Rivers series, a few of the new Wandering Heroes and anything else that needed finding without going too far off the planned route.
Another one that was on today's list.

One more cache before booking into the motel.
Glad it almost stopped rain, so we could make the find.

Out caching with D@geo looking around S.A
Thank you for the cache Ghosty7

Found
Day 10 of a Victorian/ South Australian road trip with gwd.aussie working towards a distance based challenge. Thankfully even with the wet and windy weather we caught a brief break weather to claim the find.

Well we checked day before blinded, but today was different we actually were lucky enough to meet the CO. great little chat and a cache in hand this is what it’s about meeting other caching People TFTC

Love the container

Off to Naracoorte overnight to do some cooking for the Geohusband and pretend I am a good wife. Headed into town for an event that was sort of on the way.
Then stopped for the ice cream series and a few others near to Murray Bridge Tailem Bend. Dirty hungry Jacks for lunch followed by a first to find at yet another old church in Keith. Then to the farm and wifey duties
only had one dnf which was good all other caches found safe and sound although at least 5 of the ice cream series have cracked lids I fear CO will have a fair bit of maintenance to do over winter. At the moment all logs were dry. Was surprised how busy the dirt road section was, luckily managed to avoid the rain for most of the morning.
Thanks to COs for placing caches for me to find much appreciated.
Quick find here TFTC there was a big hairy spider making the cache host home here

TFTC Lavinia found it second time out

Not our day for this one

Samuel Clemens was a paddle steamer captain. So appropriate that this was the last cache of the weekend we did The PS series.

The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a 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.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

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.

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.

Love the sense of humor! Cache in good condition. TFTC Ghosty7

A short stop here in the dark, cache found and is all good

A trip to Victoria with Freddo for 3 days to complete the paddle steamer and find a few caches in Mildura and along the way to and from, all the caches were signed respective of the day FG23, FG24, FG25 or our own caching names.
Total of 468 finds for the trip

Thanks for a great series

Quick find Tftc. Starting our trek to Victoria to see the family for Easter and school holidays.

On a detour while on my way to Townville. A nice cache find, eventually, though I did spot some shoe prints from an earlier visitor.

A great cache to start our morning. Thank you for the cache Ghosty7.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a novel cache container. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Ghosty7 for the cache.

Well, really didnt expect podium, let alone 2nd! Really simple cache. Really easy to get into. Really had me walking around in circles. REALLY big circles as my GPS settled and made fun of my ability to know where I was. TYFTC SLTNLN

[FTF] at 11:45 after a short search with CPwanderer and Bindi the geodog.
We had just found a cache at Karoonda when this one was published, so we decided to make a "dash" for the find.
