Quick drive by grab by Gav after a morning diving on the wreck HMAS Hobart TFTC
This was number 22 for the day. It was an amazing time travelling around Myponga and surrounds. We spent most of it around the Dam here and enjoyed the walk. Cache was found quite quickly as there weren't too many hiding spots. TNLN. Cheers.
Finally catching up on some logging from a day trip to this area with Chookster. Loved the scenery, really enjoyed the day. Did a bit of caching, too!TFTC Skippy
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 TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Skippy [^]
Luckily we checked the past logs as we were on the wrong side! A quick find once we relocated the search! TFTC
Way off track indeed! Ranks to the tips that we kept looking. Did find empty eclipse container near coordinates Did not sign log, too wet! Thanks for the cache
Out everywhere so fixed up and added new log book in it to keep this going
This weekend we headed south to the fleurieu peninsula for a camping night away and to also attend a CITO at Victor Harbour plus find a few caches along the way, total of 70 for the trip and a nice 2 days away.

Another Wednesday wander of the Befuddled group with the Starfish, Adder and a Mule. The Rat was not able to join us.
Todays target area as down south around the Myponga area where a couple of high terrain hides were sought.
As always, all caches were visted and signed by all members of the group or each member had a part to play in retrieving the prize.
All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.
A quick last find for the day. The swag inside the container is fine but the one damp and mingy piece of paper acting as the log is in need or replacement.
Thank you for the cache %Cachename Elvis, found 11/05/2022

A fine Autumn day had us deciding to try for some caches near Myponga.
Like others before us we found the cache on the opposite side of the road to where the GPS was indicating. Nice to find an older cache
Many thanks for the hide Skippy.

7 years of travelling Australia and yet we have never visited Normanville so we are here now to rectify that. With clouds overhead, and some heavy rain overnight we decided to cache mostly inland today. Some great scenery even though the sun was hiding. Amazed that we were above 400m Elevation in quite a few spots.

Took us a few mins as gps had us searching in the incorrect side of the road. Thanks to the farmer who replaced the stolen cache

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I started the day with a breakfast event in McLaren Vale, before spending the morning exploring the vicinity. We then headed west towards Myponga and Myponga Beach, enjoying a nice beach walk seeing the fascinating geology. A final late lunch stop was had in Myponga, and then we returned home in the early afternoon.
Our final cache find for the day, and it wasn't the easiest of caches to have found. I looked all around GZ, and wasn't finding anything, but it was only after reading a few past logs that some people had to cross the road to find. So I did that, and sure enough, a cache was found. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. I wondered if there were two geocaches here, as it felt a little odd. Thanks Elvis/Skippy. for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Making our way from Kangaroo Island to Wallunga today and collecting some caches along the way. Thanks to the many COs who placed and maintain caches in these regions - we really appreciate it.
After arriving back from KI we were on our way to Willunga and on the way finding caches. Thank you to CO for placing the cache in their respective location. Sorry about the generic log. Signed log. TFTC
Found although a little confused by another find on the other side of the road. Tftc
A quick easy find in between showers and wind. Cache in good condition, nice and dry. TFTC
TFTC TNLN. Easy find on a drive back from the lookout. On a cold blustery autumn afternoon
Another lovely day visiting the area and we managed to explore more places, our muggle driver is getting used to us telling him to stop here, go there, just a little detour and that looks like a good place to park lol.
The youngest team member found this one, and was so pleased with himself, log signed and replaced as found, TFTC and the fun

I love finding such an old geocache, really amazing to think about. The name is a little off though, I think I'm missing a reference or some lingo. First time we've had a car stop to ask us if we're okay, a rite of passage for geocachers? Took us a while to find it but we got it.
TFTC!

Today we had a leisurely start to the morning and then out for a drive, lunch and caching. Had hoped to get 20 caches today but we only managed 19 as there were quite a few dnfs and did not attempts today.
After we got to Myponga we did a couple of caches and then lunch at the Smiling Samoyed, lovely beers and food, dog friendly (inside too) and a cache outside, a perfect start. Luckily lunchtime was when the majority of rain came, added bonus.
It was then on to pick up caches and have a look at the reservoir. Hound had a magic day out he just loved it and is now weary on the couch.
We finished the arvo off with a cleansing ale at the Victory Hotel.

Not as many plants as I'd expected.
I decided to head to Adelaide to catch up with GoodLook. She'd kindly put together a list of 'must do' caches for us to find so we set about driving several hundred kilometres seeking them and others of interest. This cache was on the list and I'm pleased it was.
Thanks for the cache Skippy

Found with the lovely micaparamedic who came to Adelaide to visit me for the weekend..... loads of kms travelled - filled with fun, laughter, caching and yummy meals - what more could one want?!
A straight forward search for us today, and then we were off to the next.
Thanks so much Skippy

Fun afternoon caching down South with Purrfect Di.
This one was accurately named, there are plenty of yucca bushes here!
Pretty much a drive by on the way to the reserve nearby.

We had a half an hour before we could be at the farm stay so detoured to find this one. Hubby found it. TFTC
Had the wrong idea about where this one was hidden, luckily H423L found it before I wasted too much time looking in the wrong spot. TFTC!
Found on a great day caching the Fleurieu with Pony1966. Lovely cows watching us! TFTC
Heading up to the top of the hill, stopped here to grab this cache...yes there are plenty of blackboys ...a find after a short search...TFTC Skippy
My grandad and I found this cache while spending a few days in Adelaide - I was on my learners and had driven all the way from Canberra to Port Lincoln and back! A great road trip to improve my driving skills and experience.
A nice quick cache to break up our scenic drive down to the mouth of the Murray. TFTC!

We are in South Australia for a one week holiday at the Lady Bay Resort at the golf club near Normanville. Day 6 - we decided to take look at the caches around the Inman valley area north to Myponga. We found 24 caches of our trip which started at around 9am and finished around 4.30pm. Tomorrow we leave for a day in Adelaide before flying back to Brisbane at night.
After lunch at the Conservation reserve nearby, we took a short detour to find the cache. It was found in good condition.
Log signed & replaced again. Found at 1.05pm on 30th November, 2016. TFTC
