Away for the June Long Weekend with TheWhiteDogGang.We based ourselves at Orroroo and travelled far and wide over 4 days. We managed 1,500 kms during our travels.We managed to find some really old caches, one from 2001, and even managed to get all 9 terrain ratings. Not bad for 2 old farts with no coordination.The weather was dry if not cold on occasions.A good way to spend 4 days.A quick find.TFTC

Do stay here if you need a spot Was staying 2 days but got a flat tire so will have to come back one day. Got these two in town before leaving. What a lovely memorial. Love how they put the plaques on there from the trees Condition excellent Coords. Excellent Took. Nothing Left. Nothing TFTC

Convenient lunch stop, well kept memorial

A quick grab, TFTC

On our travels we found ourselves heading to hawker and took the opportunity to grab some interesting caches on the way this one was no exception a fitting trip to our fallen, thanks for placing this cache

We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Singapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. We had about three weeks in New Zealand which went by too quickly. The remaining five weeks are spent in Australia. Yesterday we took the ferry from Kangaroo Island to the mainland and spent the night in Barossa. Our destination for today is Wilpena. We had a stop here to have lunch but instead went looking for this cache which was quickly found without any problem. Thank you very much for this cache.

During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia we travel from the Barossa Valley to the Flinders Ranges.We stopped in this town for lunch and also found this cache.**mitch_0018**, thanks for the cache.

Nice simple memorial. Easy find. Thanks.

We are ion South Australia for the leap Year Mega. After an early start from our overnight accommodation, we set off to find the caches on our target list.All caches were found and signed as "5 for QLD" for our traveling group of hatzofff (myself), RoddyC, Imbunda, Snickersallan and grannysmith1947.Today we target some geo art and other caches. Loving the area, but it is very hot and quite windy today.

An early morning start after our overnight stay. I am traveling with my friends, hatzofff, RoddyC, Snickersallan and grannysmith1947. We are signing all logs as "5 for QLD" to save space.All caches were found, signed and replaced as foundAfter some early caches and an event we headed off to some special geoart and an overnight stay before heading back to Adelaide for the start of the Mega. Today has been one of the hottest and windiest we have had so far. [:(!] Here's hoping Adelaide will be a bit cooler tomorrow.

Very well maintained

Another one in this little town. TFTC

We searched we found we bugged TFTC

Some stealth was required here in order to escape the attention of the patrons at the local establishment across the road but the find was eventually made. Lovely spot. Good pub.

A Quick drive by on the way home from Arkaroola. TFTC.

Second day of the dynamic duos venture north. Left Orroroo and headed up to Hawker for a nice and relaxing day as time was not going to be a problem. Didn't have a lot of caches on the must do list so ended up looking for, and finding, any cache close enough to the road we were traveling north on. Still got to Hawker in time for a couple of shortish walks which enabled us to clear the immediate area of any unfound caches. And of course, the main aim of the trip, the A Taste of Hawker's Heritage AdLab. All up, completed an Earthcache as well, and found twenty physical caches and this was one of them.
Thanks to mitch_0018 for placing this cache on our playing field.
Cache #13900 for me.

A short stop here, cache found and is all good.

With a few days off work I decided to head north for a night to the Flinders Ranges, and attempt to find SAs longest unfound traditional cache and Mount Abrupt plus what ever I had time for in the area. A beautiful part of the world up here.

Thanks for the cache

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.

Staying in Orroroo for a few days. Today we headed up towards Carrieton and surrounds. On arrival in Carrieton we got a message from our Geobuddies Iluvtrekking and richlink that they were only 15k's away themselves heading down from Hawker. Great to stop and chat to them but boy it was freezing at 9degrees and sadly it was too early for the pub to be open. So we grabbed a couple of caches with them before they continued South and we went off to explore.

Turned out we came across an old cache from 2001 and also did a marvellous 4x4 track for a 1/5 cache. Views were a bit cloudy but still amazing fun.

A great day out and about.

We were planning to log a DNF here but messaged the CO to see if they would like some help with maintenance. Whilst we waited for a reply we found the nearby cache and chatted to iluvtrekking and richlink. the reply came that CO was happy for us to replace the cache so we all signed the log of a new container and continued on, having sent the CO photos' of the new cache.

TFTC mitch_0018

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders Ranges. Now travelling through to Peterborough picking up finds along the route. Ran into Felix who had contacted the CO because the cache was missing. Permission granted to replace the container and record our visit. Thanks mitch 0018

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. Today, along the road from Hawker to Peterborough. We briefly joined forces with Felix2. for a few caches before continuing on our way. Thanks for the cache, chrispy89.

DNF Found the obvious spot, but very empty.

Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and increased our experience in this location it is what helps make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Unfortunately after a good look around we didn’t find the cache this time.

Traveling around picking up caches as we go.

A quick find while passing by. Loved some of the local scenery.
