Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Nuriootpa to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Thanks for the smiley

Something special or unusual goes here:This normally pops up on the GPS when i am on the Sturt Highway and there is just no easy way to get to from there. Twisted So today i made a big detour and finally made it to GZ for a quick find. SmileThe Generic Bit:Had to head to Tanunda to check on a cache and had a few minutes to call in and grab a few unfound caches as well. [^] Not a lot of finds but some that were a bit out of the way or in areas I had previously cleared..

After having a dnf here last time today I walked straight up to the cache.

How does this happen?

Gave it a good search but didn't see anything. The grass is long so that didn't help.

Stunning view! Headed out on a glorious afternoon to grab a few local caches. Tftc

I have just DNFed up the road a bit; happily this cache was nearby in reserve.

An interesting area of the Barossa, if this qualifies as Barossa. I came in from the east, and you pass some high points with views in all directions. The North Para carves quite a gully here,; you don’t get to see it from Gomersal Road.

Thanks for bringing me here DISK.

I was out North (Gawler) today and had some time to fill, so geocaching was the obvious solution. I took the opportunity to target caches that will fill gaps on the Jasmer grid and the hidden date grid.
This one filled a gap on the hidden date grid.
Found it easily when I arrived, so provided a little camoflauge after logging. The cache container is getting worn. One of the clips was not there and the other broke off in my hand as I opened it, but all the contents are still good. I didn’t have a similar replacement, sorry.

Came out along the road to find the cache near by, some great not so old tv history here yet some fantastic views to the old homestead just across the valley, to where a wedding was being held today. Cache was a nice and quick find.

A late plan made on Thursday night when attending the Cache in trash out event. Todays plan was to complete some of the Jack Bobridge Trail with David wazz and Jess Wrigley, although the heat was touching on 40 degrees still a great day, with a wine tasting along the way and 2nd loop of D/T grid now complete.

02-Mar-19
Although it was a stinking 40°C hot day, we wanted to use some of it for some outdoors geocaching, and so [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) and I made a plan to head north to Gawler and Lyndoch, and completed a section of the Jack Bobridge cycling trail, calling into a winery along our way. On the return back to Adelaide, we called past a strategic cache for [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) to complete his second D/T loop.

We had found the nearby large sized cache, so we went up the road to find this one. Argh, this cache has a much better description of the homestead in view. [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) had also heard about / recognised that place as a popular wedding location, and we could hear the music coming through the valley from there. I wouldn't mind seeing the homeset from McLeod's daughters, so looks like I'll be back that way another time. Thanks.

I loved watching Mcleod's Daughters and will always remember Kingsford Homestead as "Drovers Run". It great to finally view the beautiful homestead and out-buildings (although distant) and the countryside I'm sure I saw in more than a few episodes.
A fabulous location!

Sadly I don't have any McLeod's trinkets for you but I can tell you that I was once an extra on the show. For those in the know it was an episode where they had a medieval festival at the homestead and I was an extra walking around in the background. It was the most boring day of my life. I found this cache two days after the 2016 Gawler River floods and the drive was more than interesting. Having dodgy GPS didn't help matters but I was so glad I persevered to this excellent case and fantastic views. Thank you
