A quick find whilst travelling to and around Carpenter Rocks today, on a very windy day....Nice hide, the adventure cache of the day!TNLNSL Thanks

Long windy and dangerous walk

Great walk

What a view!

Thanks for the cache. Found with loci612 on our epic Mega trip. Signed dsd or darksidedan or AB or Adventure Boys to save space in the logbook. Thanks for the cache and the Adventure.

**Today:**Found with DSDMy first ever day in South Australia Woke up in Mount Gambier today with no real destination, but a big list of caches! Ended up just up the road in Millicent, but still several hundred kilometres travelled as we detoured down to the coast! The biggest goal of today, and the entire trip, was finishing my AUSMER! We found not only one, but two caches in my final month I needed! Its been a multi-year challenging journey, so good for it to be finished! ---**This Cache:**As mentioned in my EC log, this is just a fascinating location! Well & truly off the beaten track, as the only official track that seems to lead here is Private so you have to come from the beach and follow footpads through the scrub instead! This means it is probably rarely visited however, which makes it even more special! Enjoyed climbing out to this one, right out to the point. Also good to see such an old coastal cache still kicking on!TFTC

Here!

Nice view! It is amazing! They should make it more accessible to muggles ... Maybe not

Difficult terrain, great view, pen not working anymore

My goodness. That was amazing! Fascinating! And down right Dangerous!!!! No way would I take kids!!! And I advise not doing this one on a wintery windy gusty day lol. TFTC

Ohh and I had to walk 500 meters thru bush and across cliffs as the other access road has a gate saying private property!!!

TFTC - amazing!! What a great 360 degree view! Would not have come out here & would have missed the experience without the cache. A definite favourite

Found

Great walk, thank you for bringing us

Quite a treacherous hike but no dramas. Quick find. TNTN. TFTC

Good hide

Found

Yeah we did

Today is Easter Sunday the weather started out quite nice the fog was gone and the sky was cloudy. We knew this was going to change so we went out for a walk to the rocks. Amazing highlight of the day.
After that we went back to camp for bacon and egg brunch and as expected the rain came. We hunted a little more along the coast and then back to camp for hot cross buns.
Out for the afternoon to do a loop of caches and a walk at Nene Valley our Google maps called it neigh neigh valley which quite entertained me.
The bleak weather today meant no more snake encounters. Hoorah.
Back to camp for G&Ts and nibbles night what a fun way to spend Easter
Loved our walk out here was great to find this oldie with original container and log book. TFTC

Found it TFTC

TFTC! Amazing spot, kids loved it

What an absolutely fabulous spot to spend Christmas morning. Thanks for bringing me here and TFTC

Found with EsromL as we headed down the southeast for a few days of camping. Although geocaching wasn’t the purpose of the trip, we did grab a few caches of interest that were close to where we were going.

After stopping to make some lunch and completing the nearby earthcache, we continued out on the rocks to this cache.

Thanks scojohara for the cache.

Found with gridge98 today out caching on the Millicent mega weekend

Thanks for the cache

Catching down the road from our accommodation with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang.
After completing the earthcache, I found a handy track down to the sand.
It was almost like walking through a movie set for 007 Moonraker.
The view from land spit was amazing. The sat loc was a bit fritzy, so I used my geocaching logic and was rewarded by finding the cache.
Thanks for bringing us here scojohara, a favourite

Found with clare007 and Gizmos Gang as we headed towards the MEGA event in Millicent!!! Thankyou for hiding this cache!! Spectacular location .... a favourite!!

Found with CPwanderer and clare007 at the start of our Geoventure weekend.
We are staying in Carpenter Rocks so after unloading the car at our accomodation we ventured out here.
Spectacular views. A favourite from me!

OMG
What a place to have a cache, would never in the world would of came to this amazing place if not for geocaching
TFTC ️

#1951 - 1.11pm
Awesome location!
So many photos!
The best location in Carpenter Rocks is only known to locals and Geocachers, lol

I originally found this cache with my Mum heymissjo, but now that I have my own account, I am logging. Thanks for the cache.

For the past few years I have cached as part of "team heymissjo", but now I am old enough to have my own account so logging the find. Thanks for the cache.

What an incredible place for the cache! This is what I love about geocaching, it takes you to places you wouldn’t normally go. The Welder and I carefully walked out here with our three minis and enjoyed the views. The kids loved the shells and fossils scattered at the top and admired the rock formation. While the kids were safely up the top, I walked around and made the find. A perfect spot for the cache! A favourite point from me for a great adventure!

So we did it, we took the plunge and early last year made arrangements to sell our little hobby farm in South Gippsland and ‘do a big lap’.
No full lap is complete without a lap of the little island first.
So after tidying up our affairs and putting everything into storage, we celebrated Christmas with our families and hit the road.

We recently spent 7 magnificent weeks in beautiful Tasmania, then we just did a quick trip down the west coast of boring old Victoria, making our way to South Australia, crossing the border before Covid strikes again.
Looking forward to slowing things down as we spend time in SA with no return date planned.
Thanks for being one of the CO’s who supplied us with a cache to do on the way.
This one was most enjoyable.

Should I or shouldn't I? What the heck and rewarded with a find! TFTC

We didnt get much tume to look and I now regret it. After 2.5KM of walking we get to the spot but we only got a 5 minute look. Sadly I cut open my toe on a rock and had to go back to clean it up. This one is definatly on my bucket list. TFTC and the amazing spot...

OMG. Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing me to this awesome spot. I love it when geocaching takes you somewhere you wouldn’t go. The very narrow, scratchy track in and the March fly bite were well worth it. We are so lucky to live in such an amazing country.

That is a good location for a cache. quick find.
found with mogni. The target this australia day long weekend was 2 island caches, ladder entry in to a cave, a few tree/structure climbs, finishing mine and mogni's tradition fizzy grids, driving for 10's of km's along the coast line at various spots ( longest stretch was over 30 km's ) and a multi on a calendar day for me plus a puzzle and multi on calendar days for mogni.

An awesome spot on a very stormy day

In Millicent for the long weekend and to attend the Geoventure 2020 Celebration Event..oh and to cache of course! Today was also a number building exercise to get us to our next milestone of 5000. We were out with hevwalker, scramping. Mattycat, Sebastbat and **JEM**. It was a wild and wooly day today..rain. wind, birds flying backwards, Cows blowing over...it was carnage. But we eventually got to the cache, signed and replaced! TFTC[8)][8)]

Found, log to follow

Down in Millicent for the "Used 2B a Geoventure" celebration weekend.
( Hopefully we'll be back for the big one when it's able to go ahead )

Teamed up with Sebastbat, and JEM for a long long weekend caching.
Joined SnappyTomCats, Scramping, and Hevwalker for a while today, then added Freddo and Trigger_Fish, so interesting tracks, sand, mud, bushes, coastal ruggedness... all in the pouring rain and wind. Great company and a lot of fun

An interesting bit of the coast we almost got blown right off, and in the wild weather a family was out here walking their dog Neat hide of significant age!



Thanks for placing and maintaining a cache on this corner of our caching map scojohara

Stay safe out there, caches and their hidey holes can be dirty and wet!
wash your hands, wipe down your cache gear,
sanitise, exercise, even wear a mask if hayfever season gets to you and
cache the countryside safely distanced at least a roo or an adult brown snake's length apart ! ! !
Have fun out there ! ! !

A cold and wet day to walk out here. But we made it. Easy find once there.

Thanks for the cache scojohara.
Found on 30/9/20 at 15:03.
Find #11735.

The great Southeast Saunter with Anymules down to the Millicent area to find caches associated with the postponed GV2020 mega. But with leave organized and accommodation booked the caching trip was not postponed! [^]

Day 3: Today we set off to get out names in all the SFE challenges (qualified or not) and then head to Carpenter Rocks. From there it was up through the Canunda National Park again to finish caches in the southern section. This coincided nicely with finishing near the night cache just after sunset.

A mini me look alike. But a fantastic walk out in the rain with the wind blowing a gale. The other eroded rock formations in the area of the cache are amazing. Cache quickly found but we stayed quite a while despite the weather to take in all the scenery here. FP from me. [:X]

***Thanks scojohara for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Well that was a adventure. Mr IML72 really loves climbing around the rocks of the coast. Awesome view

Some good weather on the radar againfor today, so a plan was hatched to visit Carpenter Rocks. some interesting terrain but we had alot of fun.

Walked into this one. Loved the spot. would never have visited without geocaching.

TFTC

Fabulous cache, found with DSATA!
TFTC!

Beautiful winter day, beautiful location TFTC! Salduffett

A day trip to Carpenters Rocks was our goal today and grabbing a few caches while we were at it.

After visiting the nearby earthcache and anointing the geomobile with several more 4x4 scratches on the way in we headed off to look for this one. The scenery is amazing....and yes....this area sure does look like the pinnacles in WA.

Many thanks for showing us this stunning area and for this nice, older cache scojohara

Wow.. Amazing spot. Thanks for showing us this place.
Had to carry the geogriff some of the way was so windy I thought he might blow away.

OMG - what an amazing terrain! Like another planet! That is why you geocache! Why is this place such a secret! TFTC

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.

Thanks to scojohara for placing the cache for us to find.

Found It!
Amazing little place you'd never visit if not for the cache! Some interesting and unusual rocks around here. The ones in the shapes of the old plant roots are intriguing. A nice walk around here and a quick find once I got to GZ!
TFTC

What an impressive place, thanks for showing. The T rating could be a bit higher, but really funny to get there. Fast found. TFTC

We travelled across to Millicent for a long weekend to try and collect a few of the puzzles before the Mega crowds hit town. We hired an AirBnB with Robmc and Betty Boo and managed a pretty good haul for the weekend.

Today we headed from Carpenter's Rocks to Southend for the day. We were occasionally interrupted by sleety rain but not for long.
We visited this spot several times over the weekend to enjoy the views. No snorkelling for us this weekend - way too rough.
Thanks for contributing to a fun day scojohara

awesome cache

Awesome cache

Today was my final day during a weekend in Mount Gambier and its surrounds. My scuba diving was canceled for the day, so rather than head back to Adelaide early, I did some geocaching targeting some of the longer unfound caches, and a few in the region that I needed for my Jasmine grid. After some maintenance to some existing caches, I headed south to Lake Bonney and visit Carpenter Rocks, Pelican Point, and Blackfellows Caves. It was then back on to Millicent and cut through the area towards Penola collecting geocaches along those hills and roads. Finally, some driving around the backroads off Naracoorte to visit Joanna to collect some early hidden caches.

I couldn't seem to drive too close, but had my jeep driver over the narrow track with a few areas of deep ruts. Once parked, it was a nice walk to GZ, although I did stupidly turn one direction and was moving away from GZ for a good 80 m. Once at GZ, I thought it would take a bit to search, especially at the various elevations, but managed to find the cache after a few minutes in a nice hiding spot. Cache all good, and dropped a TB. Nice to collect this early 2004 goodie. Difficulty/Terrain could be increased, but a fun adventure nevertheless, thanks scojohara!

Suscoe's last day in Mount Gambier and we had a lovely time picking up a few more caches.
The day started out with solid drizzle before we got up. The remainder of the day was cloudy, a little sunny and mild, the perfect temperature for us to caching in.
We enjoyed some town caches, some farmland caches and some coastal caches.
Thanks to scojohara for placing this cache out here, a brilliant spot and we were pleased to be here on a calm day.

What a lovely trek, great views...took a while to find the cache as we did not know which level we should be on...we weren't keen to go down, down, down & thankfully we didn't have too...
Saw something that looked like it could have been a hiding spot and it certainly was...
Nice dry cache and still in good condition...
Surprised the last find was 14 months ago.
TFTC scojohara

WOW!!! That was a trek and a half. And the views...omg...photo heaven. Hevwalker and I refused to give up after the trek across from the parking area. Definitely worth a fav point. Tftc.

That's a big nope from me - I'm not going down there! So close, yet so far. TD should be upgraded, I wouldn't have gone after it otherwise. Great scenery though, especially the pinnacles, so still worth the walk

This really pushed my comfort zone outward! Geohubby made the final bit of the trip and yelled out in triumph when the cache was located. I think terrain difficulty should be at least 3.5! Great views from the top and interesting sights along the way. We had some trouble finding the right way to get here.

Thoroughly enjoyed the journey to GC location, and the amazing formations on the way... had no idea they existed... many photos were taken. Up and around GZ it was very windy, with rough seas, but fabulous views. We hunted high, we hunted low, we braved the rocks, and the scramble and the sedges, we noted the shell midden... we also felt that the terrain rating should be nudged a star higher, but we were still game for it. Alas, after 1/2 hour had to admit defeat, but what a fun half hour it was anyways. TFTC, which given we visit the Mount often, we shall return to find.

Found it. Great spot.

Day 10 of our geoholiday in Victoria and we are slowly making our way back to Adelaide grabbing caches along the way, Awesome spot tovisit, the last time we were down this way Mrs 3LG wanted to come to this cache but we didn't make and when we returned home a few people told us we missed out on a great location with a cache. Today we didn't miss it, a huge detour was made before making our way home. The D/T rating should be higher but I guess it's an old cache. Mr 3LG wanted to get some pics from GZ but the wind was a little to strong for him today and it would hurt if he was to fall over. TFTC

Thoroughly enjoyed the views walking to gz
Drove part of the way then walked the rest
Geo hubby led the way but I was the one who located the cache
Interesting rock formations
Sighted boats in the bay
A favourite for us today

Wow! Left geo gran half way admiring the view while i scrambled like a goat for the 2nd time today

Found while in the mount for a couple of events tftc

Found whilst on our Road Trip to Mt Gambier with us, TR!, Tomboy711, Snap Happy, and the Kelly Gang there was an event nearby and this cache was on our to do list.
We walked around the block and on the sly we reached up high and signed this guy. NIce hide well hidden, this little cache is a must do. The VIEW is unbelieveable!!
It was a great little walk and a few caches collected and signed, always time for another trip back to the Mount

tftc!!

Great little cache beautiful view

Great walk along the Bight. Cold windy spring day. Kids loves the rock hopping and seal spotting.

Great time exploring with the kids looking for this cache. Beautiful views, great cache to find. Startled Frog

Yieww got it on a very wet and windy day

great walk but bit windy when out there tftc

A bit of an arduous one to get to and as usual it is always in the last place you look The rock formations around here are fascinating.... Very rugged. Some parts looked like stallagmites growing up out of the rock! Glad to find a cache at this remote spot. Found pathtag...woohooo. I leave lots in the wild but rarely find them so it was great to be rewarded. TFTC

Yes the cache is always in the last place you look. Was it high was it low, you will have to come and find out. Great Cache and a beautiful view. TFTC.

Found it good walk

Jackie found it

Awesome spot! Worth going to even if you can't find it!! Recommend just for the area it's very cool!!

Best find yet. Loved the scrambling over the rocks. Neat hiding place.

Lovely location. We were walking from Cape Banks Lighthouse and had read about this cache but had no GPS or even the description of the cache with us, but thought we would have a look anyway. Unsurprisingly, we did not find it but enjoyed the scenery anyway.

This was brilliant! We loved the scrambling over the rocks, splendid views and to cap it all, we saw a seal on the rocks below the cache! Thanks!

Fantastic! We were with Kolossidoll and had a brilliant time hiking across the rocks and enjoyed spectacular views and the gorgeous seal! We are absolutely loving this world! Thanks for putting them there and thanks to Kolossidoll for introducing us!

Caching with kolossidoll tFTC

Enjoyed the walk and clamber
Great views

Found this cache while holidaying in Mount Gambier area.
Thanks for bringing us here to this amazing location and yes they remind us of the Pinnacles.
The cache is in place and in good condition.
Except the TB isn't here.
TFTC

No luck with this one today. Extremely windy but an interesting area.

Fantastic location, found after a bit of scrambl

Geokiddies reckon that was the funnest cache ever! Walking back in the dusk certainly added some adventure TFTC

Took a while to get to this one. Found after using the hint. Beautiful views, so glad we took the camera with us D TNLN TFTC D

Looked for a good half an hour.. Disappointed not to find it

Found on a wonderful day trip to Beachport with mogni.

What a great cache. Mr M went to make the find leaving mogni (who is a previous finder) and Mrs M at a more comfortable location. Unfortunately Mr M had a lot of trouble locating the cache and mogni decided to make the journey over to GZ to lend a hand. As she came up the rise she found Mr M signing the log. Sometimes you just have to keep looking and the cache will reveal itself.

TFTC scojohara.
