Couldn't find this one. Sad face. Removed a lot of tree debris from the tree branch forks in the process.

No luck with 2 of us searching the target tree and others in the vicinity.

Didnt come here with a whole lot of confidence due to previous dnf and after a bit of a search had no luck as well

No luck for me today.

Visited here for an EarthCache but also found a quick & easy Multi

TFTC

No luck today.

I triple checked my tree and all trees in the vicinity but no joy today.

Headed here to look for this one and the EC. Gathered info and began searching. Given the previous log and the conditions here I didn’t think we would find this one. But we were lucky today. TFTC.

Either my counting or sense of direction is bad. Couldn't find anything at my first attempt, then widened the search options. Will return with reinforcements.

Found with Bektheraccoon for the Signal's Labrynth souvenirs. Thanks for bringing us here, great to visit Mawson's resting place

A nice and easy one at a great spot! Once jambochicken got her bearings for the *correct* south, we were able to quickly wander over and find the cache. Found on an evening out with jambochicken and Moxie, TFTC!

Couldnt spot his resting place so used logic to find the right place. Found a signed the logbook,then spotted it. I never realised this was here even after being past this church many times.

Another geocaching trip to Australia with tmann421.
This time to SA and surrounding areas.
Enjoyed the caches and the sites
Signed logs tm/ww NZ
Thanks to all the cache owners for their efforts in placing the hides.

*Another geocaching adventure with woolwood9.*
We visited many good caches and trails on our trip and had a lot of fun!

*Really appreciate your effort putting this multi-cache out.*
We soon located the container, last day of our trip.

All logs stamped: *tm/ww NZ*

This pineapple made use of the bonus public holiday to find some more caches.

Thank you Queen Elizabeth for your years of service and the chance to find caches!

I found a grand total of 40 caches today, 38 unicorns and 2 on the way down to Flaggy. 2 DNFs as well. Plus a maintenance run.

So a successful day all up!

I figured out the location and the cache was quickly found.

Cache retrieved and signed.

Thanks Stealth_Ninja_Penguin for this cache.

This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1711 on the 22nd of September 2022.

Bummer couldn’t work it out

Geocaching weekend in SA with Beardman75 and Karicka.

On the way to the airport we were able to stop quiet a few times for some target caches.

Georode

We parked nearby and wandered in to find this small rock and read the plaque while making some calculations for the multi while also trying to answer the earthcache questions. Answers sent and multi found. Thanks for the cache

Having a productive geocaching weekend in SA in the good company of Beardman75 and Georode.
This was a bit of history lesson form us.

Thank you for the hiding, this is what makes the game work!
Happy caching

Ohh

Found today on my second visit, dont know how iI missed it last time. No swaps available but added a very frosty snowman to this very apt cache.

A hearty thanks to Wollaston for the maintenance May the lights of the Great Southern Aurora always shine favourably on you.

Very interesting history here. Initially made a mistake and looked in the wrong place to see something I hoped was not the cache or on the journey. Tried one more time and cache was found. Thanks

Tftc

Dried the container, replaced the log within a film canister for added waterproofing. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird, Liz & Bruce. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC Stealth_Ninja_Penguin

Find # 3394

Tftc! Found with conardel on our day out in Brighton.

Needs maintenance, water logged and mouldy

Thanks for the cache found with Webberg! Unable to sign log due to being water logged

Tftc… needs heavy maintenance. Log is mouldy and wet

Thanks Stealth Ninja Penguin for this simple multi. Who doesn't like a cemetery cache! The cache was found and damp log signed.

Thats a different way of doing a multi; I like it! Thanks!

Now staying in Brighton for a few days this morning we headed out to find a few nearby caches and collect a loaf of bread for lunch. Hmm sounds simple but alas after the 3rd cache we had a Tek-screw in the tyre so a detour to get the tyre repaired had us out for longer than expected. we did however manage to find all the caches on the list before returning back to camp.

TFTC

This one required a bit of a detour for me.... But found gz quickly once in the right location. Logbook mouldy and wet.
Thanks

Spent a nice bit of time today solo caching while waiting for my Sister-In-Law to have her hen's night. Beautiful weather.

Originally miscalculated this one, but found the nice sized container easily after that. Placed a dry log sheet in the container to keep it going. TFTC

Fun find - but log was mouldy and wet (bit stinky too!) pens were corroded - could do with some maintenance. TFTC SL

22,487. Found with minniek during our Post-Christmas escape to South Australia.

This trip to South Australia was on again off again due to the changing circumstances in the various states we had to travel through. Finally getting a green light from all 3 states we headed off early boxing day. Day 7 of our adventures took us firstly to an event, then a tree climb which has an amazing history, and now we were driving around cherry picking certain caches and counties. Info gathered, GZ calculated, and a quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks Stealth Ninja Penguin and Nomad Penguin !!

Happy New Year!

With not much planned today, fitzy_1965 and I decided to pick up as many counties as we could today to fill in the Adelaide region.

Quick find here today.

No luck, looked everywhere.

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February.
Then came Covid-19 and caching began to take a back seat.
But with restrictions easing and socially responsible caching again possible it is time to start filling the calendars again.

Today however was Wednesday and it was time for the befuddled group of puzzlers to set out in search of recently solved mystery caches, some lab cache series and anything else we happened to be passing.

A quick visit, count and find. Who would of know that such a great man was buried here.
Log book is bit damp but still usable.

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

Found with Erine14 on a day out targeting multis! Had been meaning to come out and find this one for a while.
The log book is quite wet, but managed to find a partially dry page to sign.
TFTC!

A nice simple multi thanks for bringing us here today

Thanks for taking us somewhere we didn't know existed!
Kids were very upset to find cache empty as we had planned to drop a few things to trade.
Left Amber coloured stone in cache.
TFTC

Thank u.. worked at school next door 15 years, never stepped on this side of the fence

Found with Geoludy TFTC

Found with Chels

As the Aurora Australis sails into the sunset the RSV Nuyina will soon take its place. A sure step up from Mawson's early rides

Nice easy one

Great find

Nice cache to find

Tftc

Yay for my first multicache

Thanks penguins for this informative cache. Found easily, once the right sign was read. Haha, seniors moment!

Cache #61
Multi Cache #5

I went to the school behind this cemetery, countless times did we have to jump the fence to get our balls back! It used to be so scary... the risk of getting caught, the danger of jumping the corrugated iron fence, and of course the cemetery its self..with all the well you know how it is when your a kid.. Its probably been 15 years since I have been in this cemetery. TFTC

RIP to all the sentient beings that are not here with us today.

tftc! simple find

Tftc it was a fun little mission

What an interesting cemetery. Sad to see so many graves in disrepair though.

I never knew the cemetery was here. Driven past a million times. Sad to see the cemetery so run down. After my GPS jumped around and sent me in circles I found the designated spot and then went on to discover the cache. Unfortunately no trackables inside but I left a small figurine for next cacher. This was my first cache with Hazel - I think she enjoyed the walk. TFTC. Nice to find a decent sized cache.

Nice simple one

Tftc

Dropped my trackables to discover card

I went to Mawson High School which was very close to here.

We learned possibly more than others about Sir Douglas Mawson. He was an amazing man.

Unfortunately the school is no longer there.

TFTC

Found. TFTC.
Pen not working

No luck today looked high and low but couldn’t find it. We’ll be back

An interesting piece of history, and a great experience to stand at the resting place of a great explorer. Found the cache easily and signed the log.

Managed to get out of the igloo and flutter past. Didn't find the cache so replaced it. As Always, please respect the area.
Good Hunting, SNP

After having a 'eat all you can' meal close by I came with the Flagstaff Hills to find this one. Nice sized cache in an interesting area, just a shame about the dead possums around -----SL------TNLN-----TFTC

On this public holiday afternoon, I decided to chase a few multi-caches to continue targeting them this month for the Victorian challenge. Consequently, I rode my bike from the city towards Glenelg, and then on to Brighton before returning to home for dinner. Six geocaches found, which included two multis, and two previous DNFs converted.

This was my third time here, with two previous DNFs trying to search for this cache. The last time, jesswrigley and I spent 30 min looking around the right tree thinking it may have been hidden off one of the branches. However it since got confirmed that it was missing, and replaced by the CO earlier today. So this seemed like a worthwhile multi to grab and convert my DNF. It only took a minute to make the find this time, but unfortunately a poor possum must have died just next to the tree. I guess he is resting in peace in an appropriate place now.

The two TBs should be declared missing now that the old container is no more, and have likely gone the way of the old container and been muggled. Thanks Stealth Ninja Penguin and Nomad Penguin.

Enjoyed reading about the history in the cemetery. Tftc

Hopefully next weekend I can get to the GZ to check on what is going on there. Stay tuned. SNP

No joy. I’m having such a crap run of dnfs at the moment

Second time lucky as we had a DNF here a few months ago. It turned out that we had the wrong tree, so the first time was on us. However since then, we worked out our error, and confirmed with another previous Finder. We looked here for a good 20 min in that tree, with no find! OK, so possibly that container has been stashed up in the tree well, but it seems unlikely that others have had such easy finds, and between two sets of eyes, we couldn't find. Possibly missing? Cheers.

Out for an evening walk after a 40 degree day. It's amazing how many significant figures in history are in "regular" cemeteries. Left 2 TB's. TFTC.

The Rats, steeba and Hoojar have teamed up for a York Peninsula adventure of massive proportion. With much planning and logistical coordinating, we had a great five days meandering the country roads collecting a plethora of caches. Our journey started with a handful letterbox caches before heading down the peninsula following the “Gone Fishn” series. We followed this up with an array of geo-art images that litter the lower peninsula. Returning to Adelaide we collected a gaggle of old and rare finds which included some interesting earthcaches and virtuals.

My apologises for the generic log, but thanks to all the cache owners and caching buddies who made the road-trip such a memorable and fun experience.

After a review of the geocaching map in South Australia it was determined a trip to the Yorke Peninsula would yield some significant numbers. So, The Rats, Hoojar and I teamed up once agan to tackle the many caches on the peninsula.

We started in the darkness after flying into Adelaide and the next day set some personal records (550+ caches in a day) and milestones before bunking down. The next day was another massive numbers haul which resulted in a bit over 1,000 caches in two days !

Then it was a little more sedate down to the bottom of the peninsula and then back up the easterly side, ticking off a few EarthCaches in the process .

After that, back to Adelaide for some night caching, virtuals and more EarthCaches!

The power trails on the peninsula were great- quiet roads, some great green wheat and yellow canola scenery, coupled with some great company and usual ribbing of each other [^]!

Thanks for your cache- sorry about the generic log. For the EarthCaches and virtuals look out for an email or two shortly.

TFTC!

This was a trip that had been some time in the making. A journey from Wollongong in New South Wales to the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, in search of large numbers. Five days were set aside, and The Rats, Steeba, and myself planned the details out. Lofty numbers were floated; we could find one thousand geocahces... Maybe more! The world was our oyster, all we had to do was make it happen.

We flew into Adelaide and quickly rented our car, then headed off for a series of thirty letterbox caches late that night. We then set up camp, ready for the next few days.

Two days journeying down the Yorke Peninsular saw us collect 550 caches the first day, and 450 the next. One thousand caches in two days! The numbers were phenomenal, unheard of, and excellent! At one stage we found fifty caches in a one hour period! We worked ourselves into a solid routine, and managed to push these numbers without caching after dark. Incredible! We camped out beside the trail, ready to commence again the following morning.

Having reached our goal of one thousand, we rented a cabin and enjoyed a solid relax and beet, and we were then able to dedicate the remaining time to specific caches, mostly Earthcaches to keep Steeba (The Professor) happy, and a good number of Vrtuals as well, as we made our way back from the end of the Yorke Peninsular to Adelaide. It really became a Tour De Earthcache! If your geocache is such a hide, stand-by, as Steeba will soon contact you with our answers.

As is always the case with these trips, the company was the highlight, with banter non stop, the time went by in an instant.

We saw some amazing things, found some excellent caches, and had an absolute blast.

Ticking just over 1300 finds for the trip, you will have to excuse the boilerplate logs!

Thanks to all of the cache hiders for their efforts in placing and maintaining their hides. It was fantastic exploring this part of the world that I had never visited before. Thanks also to my geocaching partners, without whom such a trip would not be possible, nor fun!

Cheers

Found it

Got he

Douglas Mawson was an explorer. The booklet is a bit soggy.

After caching an FTF on a cache near by I dropped in to complete this multi. A bit spooky at night but only thing alive was the possum guarding the cache. TFTC

Caching afternoon with LukaSkywalker hunting for hidden creatures this one was an easy find the caching mood was good today.
TFTFun

Checked the right tree extensively, but just couldn’t find any cache container. It may be there and we were just cache blind, but surprising given a lot of the previous geocachers commented the easiness to the find. Will have to return another time in the day to check out.

No luck for us tonight searching in the dark

After a few days of intense work commitments, I finally had some free time to go caching today before I had to head to the airport and home. I headed off in fairly random directions to see what I could find and had a great day out there. Nice one! After working out the information I needed for the earthcache here, I moved on to the multi. I was working out what I needed to do when a muggle came along who wanted to chat about Mawson and his local history... Oh well. After she wandered off I carried on with my search. All good with the cache at GZ. TFTC, Biggles.

This cache and the nearby earthcache are on my list of caches to do this week while the muggle missus and I are in Adelaide. It was great, therefore, when the boss told me there was a shop in Brighton she wanted to visit ... as it happens, it's not far from St Judes and we were therefore able to kill two birds with one stone today.

No problems making this find, and having visited the Mawson memorial in North Terrace yesterday, it was good to be able to reflect on his life and achievements here today ... so thanks for placing this multi Stealth Ninja Penguin and Nomad Penguin.

Nice easy multi, mace it back to the car just before the heavens opened up.
TFTC

Easy to find

Nice trip into the past, thanks for the history lesson. Unfortunately couldn't write in the log as it is totally soggy.
TFTC

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Great to learn more about this interesting chap. TFTC!

We are trying to get up our tally of multis and earthtcaches so a trip to St Jude's grave yard was a double whammy opportunity to get one of each. This was a nice easy multi and the cache was quickly found. Log very damp and mouldy could do with some TLC. Rex was convinced there was a possum in the tree he was beside himself!! TFTC

Found after getting muggles out along the esplanade. I have a family member buried here too and had a go at the earthcache. What an interesting spot. Not sure if the boots are normally here but they did have a lot of cobwebs. Thanks for the adventure

This was a really great location, I had no idea this was here. I love learning things about my local area. An amazing cache for my 250th! TFTC

My 900th cache and a great one to set the milestone. I had no idea he was here and so glad I now know. Thanks for bringing me here and TFTC

Great find eventually

Easy find during our visit in the area. Lovely day, great conditions for Caching. TN, LN, SL. TFTC A bit of unknown local history.

A simple multi in yet another very onterestinb and informative location. We never knew that this is where he was buried. Thanks for bringing us here and the cache.

I am in Australia, visiting my son in Brisbane. Yesterday, I flew to Adelaide to visit friends in Marino. So this morning, off we went to find a few local caches. My muggle friends were amazed to see how a container could be so well-hidden. Thanks for bringing me here....it was a great history lesson!!

Good to know the history of sir Douglas Mawson, a great man. A peaceful place for him to be. TFTC
