I had some doubt as to whether this is currently in the right spot or not; can’t be sure so left it where found. A bit surprised to Grant Burge’s mum and dad very close by. TFTC.

I was booked into some Barossa accomodation for the weekend as I had a ticket for the ‘rescheduled’ Red Hot Summer Tour @ Seppeltsfield but alas, due to COVID it was ‘rescheduled’ again, March 2022! Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to have a relaxing weekend doing some geocaching and any DNF’s, I’ll be back to try and get you before 2022!

TFTC - Keep smiling

This cache has had owner maintenance today. The temporary cache was replaced with a camo'd small container with new log book and swag.
Should be all good for some time to come. Thanks to the 2ystassies for doing the temporary fix for us just yesterday.

Today we headed north from where we are staying to look for caches along the Jack Bobridge Trail. Along the way we looked at some nearby caches. This was one of them.

This cache was a quick find. However the cache container didn't have a lid and it was stuffed with paper. It was in need of TLC. So we replaced the cache container with a new one and provided a new logbook which should suffice for the near future. Thanks DustyandDizz for this cache and for bringing us to this peaceful and historical location.

A quick find - had to add a new piece of paper for the log. Container probably needs replacing but we didn't have anything with us. TFTC Smile

A quick stop off whilst doing the trail, The log in the cache has seen better days.

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.

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 rode the trail at Lyndoch from Cache #42 to Rowland Flat at Cache #58, stopping off at a winery halfway. We made a small detour off the trail to visit this cemetery. Initially I shuddered at wondering where this cache could be in the big pine tree, but then spotted the cache quickly. May need some TLC with the logbook a little scrappy, but otherwise all good, thanks.

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us. Wink

Now camped in Tanunda. Today the GeoCruiser was booked into Toyota. So what does any Geoaddict do when they have no 4x4, come rain, wind and freezing temperatures? .... they jump on the GeoBike of course.

Found the cache today whilst completing the Jack Bobridge trail. Thanks for sharing the history.

Out and about with Gordon Patrick Samuel doing a few caches to get my 1000 for the year and learning about the area and generic logs,tftc.
 
Found it with TK2 on a day caching in the southern end of the Barossa Valley.

What horror the early settlers must have endured in losing their children so young. Replaced the cache a little better than we found it.
Thank you postiegirl06 for sharing this area with us.

After parking the car further up the road, re-assembling my bike for another ride, I made this one first before getting back to the Power Trail [^] There were Muggles in the graveyard and a Ford Hurst with it's bonnet up and an RAA van parked behind it. (The FORD had come to lay to rest in the Grave Yard... sorry FORD fans, I found it so amusing Big Grin) I wandered over to GZ to lay any chance of a DNF to rest and SL of this well hidden cache [^] at 12:58 on Fri. 5 May, 2017. All within the cache is doing well and is dry [^] TFTC potiegirl06 Smile

Apty found this one years ago, and suggested it would be a good one for me to find, being in the area after a nice lunch at Lou Miranda's where Apty's son works.

Lots of historic names here.

Had to use Spidey Sense to make the find, as my GPS was drunk. Found it in the most likely place [^]
