#GA5841 - 10:54:00 AM; Day eleven of a road trip taking the long way to Adelaide from the National Capital and back again with the geohoney. After spending the night in Robe, we were headed east for Port Campbell. Stopped off to grab this cache on the way past and soon had my name on the logsheet. TFTC Goldenwattle

Heading home from the Rutherglen mega...the long long way. Went over to Millicent to grab a few caches from the mega we couldn't attend. After a few days there I headed up this way, over to Bordertown and then down the highway to Ballarat. No problems with the cache, which is still in good condition. Log was signed and then back to the car to continue on.
Thanks GW....good to see a few GA caches over this way.

Found this cache while at the Mega in SA

Early in 2021 I received an invite from GoosenEgg and Stainless Steel Rat to join them on a caching trip to the Mega in South Australia. As planning got underway some caches with high Favorite points, very old caches, and the On Your Bike Series were listed as "must-dos"
The trip ended up being 10 days of solid and very enjoyable caching with quite a few highlights. The find count for the trip was around the 950 mark when all GCA, Adventure Lab, and GC caches are included. The high point for finds was a day of 335 finds in the one day, which would have been more, but a sudden storm put the end to caching for the day. No one was interested in getting out of the car to find a cache in a downpour in the dark
We were lucky enough to find Gawler Fort Knox, Dustin's Cache, and my favorite for the trip Barossa High (From 21st of January 2001 with the original log book still in place) all in the one day.
Unfortunately, the caching around the mega was beset by bad weather and the day we had put aside for Mount Gambier was scrapped due to a covid case in Mount Gambier on the previous day, so we avoided the area. We all enjoyed the Fishing series and just managed to get the remaining of these before the light failed for the day.
In the end I managed to completed my D/T grid for the first (and possibly the second time) which was my aim for the year, although some of the D/T combinations were not really achievable in Tasmania without a 3 day overnight bush walk.

Found It!
A quick find here while passing by on the way to the event at Millicent. And to my surprise, I got FTF at 3pm!
