Decided to do a day trip to Morgan, Mt Mary and Bower area for a day’s caching which included the Tour Down Under series. Manage to get 55 for the day which is a personal best. Had a fantastic day looking around. All caches were in good condition unless mentioned otherwise. TFTC

ANZAC Day caching.

HELLO

Spent a pleasant day's caching up around Morgan, enjoying driving the backtracks, visiting old cemeteries, local points of interest and some scenic locations. Made the short walk to GZ, admiring the historic, well-crafted stone tank from afar. Thanks for the cache Bowz2!

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache, all in good condition.

Day 5 was Port Augusta to Mildura. An early start had me watching the sunrise over The Remarkables. Another amazing day on the road. Thank you!

A great stone water tank to look at.
Another town that never really existed.

Passing through on the way home to Melbourne from work in SA. An interesting stop with not much to show for the grand plans.

TFTC. On out way to Burra and decided to do a few caches on the way.

TFTC.

With Kell and Mar and Tammy on Aussie Road Crew. Thanks for the cache

An early morning was planned with gridge98 and LíB heading north to grab caches along the way not knowing where we would end up. We had a fun day and found ourselves in Morgan for some lunch before heading back via some out of the way caches that we all hadn't been to. [^]

Have enjoyed finding all these caches out here.

Thanks for the cache Bowz2.

A nice detour off the road out to this cache, interesting location and cache is all good

Today I headed north with JJ52 and LíB for a half day of caching, we first completed the new tour down under series before heading towards Morgan then back around via Robertown a total of 41 for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Out and about with gridge98 and JJ52 for a fun day of caching.
A fab winters day, the sun is shining and no rain.
After lunch at Morgan we headed for the back roads and found your cache.

# 8 for the day on our road trip back to NT after buying our new camper. TFTC

Team Honda off on a journey for a week to escape the Covid madness and chase Yellow Faces to reduce the city stresses.
Thanks to the caching community to ensure we have plenty to search for. If it were not for them, we would not be at this hide today.

Tried to get it but the prickles one. Like the last log said, don't wear thongs!!!

Great find!!! Don’t wear thongs like I did, lots of prickles!

On our way from Renmark to Coffin Bay. Stopped in for this cache on the way to rescue the trackable that had been left in there for 18 months. However there was no trackable there! Loads of prickles in the area though and ended up with two feet filled with prickles. TFTC

Found it TFTC no sign of the town it's as if it was a town that never was

TFTC.

Out for a drive to Burra on quite a hot day TFTC

??

a quick drive by on the way back from a day at the river

another fine piece of history

always amazed at the thought of how hard the early settlers must have had it in places like this

On the way back to Berri from Moonta and wanted this one
TFTC

Windy day - what's new really :p besides that the weather was nice, a great cache and what a fantastic hiding spot
Tftc!

Really loved the tank. Thank you for the cache. Very, very windy and dusty. Yuk would not like to live out here at all.

Hubby Happy Hans and i traveling for seven months. We are from Caloudra Queensland. We drove to the Pilbara WA. Now on our way back home. What a isolated site for a school Tftc.

Cool old building

Another spot to stop and stretch the legs and of course find a cache.
A great stone water tank as well to look at.
So another town that never really existed.
Dropped a TB as well.
Thanks Bowz2

Thank you! This has made our very long journey fun ️

Thank you!

Nice stop in the middle of nowhere, a bit scratchy on the legs with shorts on. Nice hide, thanks for the cache

Always surprising the bits of history you discover while caching, quick find today noting a recent log from the caretaker noting no grass to mow

Lovely day for caching on our way home to Merbein near Mildura Easy Find TFTC

Good spot

Thanks to the cache owners for the effort put into these hides

Over on a geocaching trip with woolwood9.
We enjoyed visiting the area and finding the good caches.
SL Thanks for helping make our trip fun!

Very slow drive in the dark - kangaroos and wombats all along the road.

Interesting structure near the cache. TFTC

Heading home the long way round from the Big Red Bash and grabbing a few on the way.

Quick easy find in a lovely historical place tftc

Found on a great day out caching with CPwanderer and hevwalker. The weather was perfect and the company even better.

Another interesting location. This is what I like about country caching the historic locations that we might never have found otherwise. Nice sized cache too in a neat hidey hole.

TFTC Bowz2

Found on a great day out in the mid north with Gizmos Gang and hevwalker!! We started in the Brookfield Conservation Park ..... worked our way up to Morgan and across to Burra via the backroads near Worlds End. We then ended up in Hallett as the sun was setting. Absolutely perfect weather and we did some outstanding caches, saw some great scenery and visited some historic spots.
Interesting location and a great cache ..... a favourite!!

A caching trip up North with CPwanderer & Gizmos Gang today...great weather for it...
A nice size hide...glad it wasn't a micro out here...
Thanks Bowz2 for the interesting history...

We passed this cache while enroute to the Eyre Peninsula just over a week ago without stopping so on our return journey and again traveling along this section of the Goyder Hwy we decided to stop to check out the cache. I suppose those water tanks on the hill further east in the distance are to where the artesian water initially gets pumped to and stored, replacing the now derelict holding "pool" next to the pump, before being distributed to the various stock feeding troughs in the distance.
I wonder if the land back when Florieton was first proposed was as desolate as it appears now, or did the poor farming practices of past years lead to it's decline. Mind you though, looking at the state of our major rivers and I wonder if we've learnt anything!
TFTC

Great spot for a cache with a bit of history, well worth a visit.
TFTC TNLN

After backtracking a little early this morning to look for some moveables we missed yesterday, we travelled from Renmark to Port Wakefield via Burra, looking for caches along the way. For much of the drive we could see many different aspects of the Murray River from both river bank and elevated positions. It was another really enjoyable day. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Bowz2 for the cache.

Found it

On our way to Morgan we picked up a few caches. Found this
great sized cache and left our Pathtag for the next finder to keep.
There must have been a lot of activity around here in times gone
by.

Thanks Bowz2

Little Squirell

Found beautiful day for it

Good spot

We had parted company with Goodlook now and were again travelling solo heading towards Burra,

We really enjoyed the information on the cache page about how a town cab be without being, at least they got a few years out of the school. We checked out the ruins for ghosts as we approached gz but couldn't see any and wondered what great stories these walls could tell if they could talk.
At least the cache was not an apparition and was found right where we thought that it would be, a nice sized cache that now contains our name in the log.

Thanks Bowz2 for the cache and the info.

Found It!
Yet another town that never was. Proposing new towns must have been quite a popular thing for the government to do all those years ago!
TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1500. The country looks pretty green. Such beautiful stone work. Great to see a decently sized cache. Our thanks to Bowz2.

A quick and easy find after checking out the old tank. A good sized cache. Getting dusk so decided to stay in Burra for the night.

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks Bowz2 for placing this cache.

An interesting place to stop along the way to Morgan for a family holiday.
Enjoyed the detour.
Not many swaps, so TN L WATER PISTOL and ALIEN CAR
TFTC

Easy cache beautiful scenery

Was able to drive almost to the cache. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

TFTC,

We stayed at Taylorville on the Murray last night and collected caches today as we go West for our last day. Tomorrow we head North. Added a photo to show the Guard who watched our car while we went to do the cache.

We have completed our visits to the ACT, Snowy's, Dandenong, National Riley Rally on Philip Island, a quick stop near Geelong, some of the Grampians, the area around Robe and share the beginning of a 50th celebration with a friend on the Murray.

Now it's off to the Red Center Experience GC6825Z before returning home with skibum1 from America via Broken Hill, Lightning Ridge, Killcoy and Armidale.

Visited a group of trackables that will be left at the Alice Springs Event.

Parked the vehicle and caravan and took a walk in to find this one, signed the log and replaced. Thanks to Bowz2.

10th day, found with sevabo & skyejam TFTC

Big day for me today and found it & all good, now on the way back to Burra motel. thanks for leading us here.

Quick easy find with sevabo and Dolphia. Today it was a big day for all of us after the series of
TdF. So we headed back to Burra for the night. TFTC

love these old buildings you always wander what they did and where they went
Thanks Bowz2 for putting this cache out for us to find

A big cache. I walked over to check out the stone built...a water storage perhaps? There is a downed windmill, which appears to have been replaced with solar panels. This and protruding pipes indicate this.
An eagle flew overhead chased by other birds. Then it flopped down between bushes. I wonder if it saw something to eat.
TFTC Bowz2.

Found on our way home from a fun trip with friends. Great little spot. Cache is in great condition. Thanks for the info on the area and thanks for the cache.

A few caches today on a road less travelled.
Interesting history of places long forgotten.
TFTC Bowz2

Found it

On a caching trip towards South Australia with J+J.AU. We did many caches on our way and had a great time. This was one of them and hardly any did disapoint! Would do the hole trip over again tomorrow if I could.
TFTC Wilbert67

Quick find, good container. On a very hot day. TFTC

Easy find.
No sign of the closed road?
Can't see why a town out here never took off!?!?
TFTC!

Currently returning to Vic from WA in company with Geobet&tor. With thanks for the cache from Angus the great GeoWestie and his Carer who are grey (and white) nomads in our tenth year on the road.

Interesting spot. TFTC. Tor and Betsy, the travelling Westies roaming WA at present. We are from Oxenford near the Gold Coast in Queensland and thoroughly enjoying the West.
