On a big adventure from Canberra to Esperance and back to celebrate a year of good things (Happy Birthday Krispystrips). Today was day 21 of our journey and we made our way from Ceduna to Port Augusta via Wudinna. Great to visit another giant Ant, a Big Galah a giant farmer and some cool silos on the way. There is always so much more to see on these drives than we ever have time to do, but we cram in as much as we can! Grabbed this cache as we travelled along with Krispystrips K8TYBEE and GLISS! Thanks for the cache.

A quick find with Nibletricecakes, KrispyStrips and k8tybee on our Road to Esperance trip. TFTC.

This is a pretty smooth representation of the Aussie farmer though they got the solid part right. A quick find where the view of the statue is impressive. The lid of the cache is cracked but all is okay for now. TFTC InTheNews.

Found with O319 on our way east

Quick find with SJG66 as we checked out Wudinna. TFTC

A little confusing with mapping but its still great fun! Thank you for this!

We are travelling with Pprass and have now set up at the well appointed Wudinna Showgrounds for a couple of days. After setting up we headed out for a look around and to collect the local caches.We were glad it was a quiet Sunday so we could look around properly.Thanks for the tour around the area InTheNews

Found at 4:05 PM in the company of The Morris.This statue looks as though it was inspired by the movie - The Day the Earth Stood Still. A very scary movie at the time and what we could have happened to us - but it never eventuated.An absolutely massive and impressive structure that must have taken a few years to create. So much intricate work in the facia - just like the Egyptian workers in their monuments had done!Thanks to InTheNews

Tftc. Quick find.

Our #21. TFTC

Quick find as we pass through

Cool facts about the statue but I reckon make size smaller not quite big enough for a regular tftc

A lovely find as we arrived in town. We can see that when this listing was published, the statue was only under construction. It is quite magnificent and then it was time to find the cache. Thanks InTheNews Domsky

We stay this night on the showground and go to find some geogache and the Adventure Lab. Thanks for the caches und the LAB.

Country, Coffee, Cats, Champagne, Chocolate, and Caching...
Careful caching as always with Jack helping, wherever we go.
It's a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and objects falling from trees
...... but a cache a day still keeps the boredom away

--------

Most of our caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp )

----------
Make sure that Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - clean and cache the countryside


It's awesome of all those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas,
in sensible safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...


... until next time!

Amazed to see a "Big Thing" out here. All good. TFTC

After travelling across the Nullarbor from Melbourne for a Family wedding in Perth and staying in Mandurah for a couple of weeks, we are now heading home. After camping at the Wudinna Showgrounds last night we stopped to find a couple of local caches before continuing our journey. We did stop in here on our way west but didn't have any luck finding the cache. Today, we returned for another look and Mrs Pooky made a quick easy find, we cannot understand why we missed it on our first visit. TF placing this cache for us to find on our travels and showing us more of this area. TNLN.

TFTC and a nice quick find on our way to Ceduna. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley NSW

On road trip to WA catching a few caches as I go

Kimba - Wirulla
A number caches along the road today including 1 EC
Just an overnight at the camp grounds at Wirulla. Great location opposite the impressive sculpture.
Been tree lopping at GZ, cache appeared to be missing so have replaced this for the CO.
Thankyou to the CO's for placing these caches.

Nice find

4k prequel recon trip
the living crew stopped here to check the supplies.. all good. onto next supply drop

Over on the Eyre Peninsula doing recon for the awesome JLWE event. Of course we had to do some caching as well! A quick find here!TFTC

Easy find. On our way to explore dinner in town.

Would have taken me a bit but GH had this spotted quite quickly.

GreyHams and myself set out on a three day SA caching trip after a super early start to the first day. The best start really though as by 9am and two planes later we had landed in Port Lincoln and into our rental car ready to set off! Local Government areas were our primary target, although many others of interest made the list, oldies, types and DT... Each offered some unique and often spectacular location, if your cache made our list, thank you!

Day 1 saw us landing in Port Lincoln and caching our way up towards Ceduna, a long but productive day saw us driving into Port Augusta just on dark a solid 12 hours after we had set off on the road.

Day 2 and we made the drive north from Port Augusta where we were based for the trip. The scenery on the drive to Roxby Downs changed often from little salt bush plains, shrub, salt lakes and to the amazing vast flat and empty, I loved the vast flat views... always spotting something in the middle of all the nothingness. Emus featured in huge numbers often, red dirt appeared... something I have been seeking so it was great to see it and finally get my feet into it all! Back into Port Augusta we set off for a loop in the south of the Flinders towards Quorn and out to Orroroo before returning just as the sun set to collect the last pizzas just as the shop shut for the day.

Day 3 was our last but just as full, although we only needed to get to Port Lincoln for our plane home late in the day we had many caches of interest plus a few walks along the way so took most of the day to make the distance leaving the odd cache off as we watched the clock!

Each day was full of such varied scenery, all quite stunning in their own way and led to a very enjoyable and fun trip. Thank you for your cache that guided us through the area and helped to highlight some of the great locations we got to visit.

Interesting statue and then over here to make a quick find. Not so 'regular' anymore

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aquilus1 & myself on yet another caching mission into South Australia, this time it was to go out west to collect all the LGA's out there.

This area of South Australia is so interesting as you can drive and be in a completely different planet within an hour. Red gums, to mallee scrub, to saltbush, to nothingness and then back again!

STarting and finishing in Port Lincoln, but with Port Augusta as our main base we explored the Eyre Peninsula, east out to Ororroo and north to Roxby Downs. It was a short but fun little trip. Thanks to all the CO's for placing caches

Found today while travelling through the area on my way to Perth.
