Our friend Leah won this coin as a prize at our Riverland Rendezvous 1 Event.
Leah fondly remembers "Hey Hey It's Satirday" which featured Pucka Duck.
Leah named the coin - Leah's Pucka Duck Geocoin.
Just dropping the coin in so as to create a starting point for its travels.

Sorry for delay , it was so excellent event… I enjoyed myself, worth to join activity same time to learn about history as well… I am hopeless with “musical song or artist†Big thanks to Louise who will write down the note for me… Also Skippy keep me company at dinner another wise I was left out…

The dinner was so excellent yummy!!! Presentation was excellent – plenty prize…

After dinner Skippy, Freddo, CamperVanWannaBe’s stayed at "Camped" overnight – It was beautiful view in the morning. [^]

Big thanks to Jardry and Flipper&Co for effort wonderful organising the events.

By the way Congratulations to SA_ParrotHead for 2500….

Oops - dropped off the geocoins for Gayle.

The Rendezvous seemed to be a great success with the opportunity for Geocachers to meet & exchange experiences.

Seems there are a lot of other people who enjoy a treasure hunt and who spend a lot of time on this hobby.

It's a great reason to get out & about.

We were on the road at dawn to get the event on time. Somehow we overshot the location and ended up in Mexico!

So we were late. Only just. It might have been better if we had pre-adjusted our clocks for daylight saving.

Still the hunt was on and it was a lot of fun. Sorry about the milo tin. The meal and social outing was a joy too. Some serious night caching followed.

Luxury 5 star accommodation at the sandbar completed the adventure.

A big day out for both the Parrots.
We were up at 6:30 and didn't get home till midnight.
Started the day with a "Z" cache out at Mt Pleasant and worked our way over to Loxton picking up caches along the way.
We had 12 cache finds and 1 Event attendance to bring up our

Find.

We had a great time with the event.
After arriving 30 minutes late due to a flat tire and stopping to get lunch while I pumped in all the co-ordinates we still managed a FTF on one of the caches even if I was eaten alive by ants. Deborah loved the dance I did on the way back to the car.
We ran into other cachers around the course. The Campers and Everlasting seemed to be on the same run as us.[^]
We had a relaxed time and really got into the fun of it coming up with names and songs for each cache. [:o)]
A bit of assistance from Adrian and a review of the sheet back at the clubhouse then off to dinner.
I don't know who was more surprised when we were announced the winners Deborah or I but we were both delighted.
The trophy will just have to sit next to Jimmy2 back at our place.
Thank you for a lovely day out.

What a great event! Coming second was a bonus as we thought we hadn't done a great job of it all! A great bunch of people, we will definitely be at the sequel. "Camped" overnight in the campervan at the same place as Skippy, Freddo and Everlasting. Ended the event in style by christening the Camper by getting it bogged in the sand, but it was towed out in the morning. Much cheaper than Virginia towing too! Thanks guys. Can't wait for the next one. Geokid ended up thinking it was good fun too and admitted it once we got home. Cached on the way home, following mostly in Adrian Mc's footsteps. Thanks for the event Jardry and Flipper & Co.

Thank you all for attending. We hope you all enjoyed the afternoon and the dinner.

We got here 2 hours late and still have a chance in winning

Thanks guys

Thanks for a great event and dinner. Enjoyed meeting you all
Hopefully do it again some time. I'll get my GPS sorted out ready for the next time

Thanks for a great day Flippers and Jardry - I know it takes a mighty effort to pull something like this off. Nice to met everyone too! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

A big thank you to Jardry and all of the Flippers.

Thanks - Joan and I will come... see you there at 2pm. Will bring something for "FTF" cheers....

Wont be able to do the cacheing but will do our best to get to the Club at 6.30. See you there..........

Thanks for the invite - at least 2 of The Wackys would love to come along - the comfort fire sounds like a great idea also so count us in

How exciting to have a Riverland event! I am sorry to say that we will be away for that weekend and unfortunately can not attend.

But we wish you the best success and hope everyone has a great time!

See you at the next one,

I intend to attend, and even have permission from pregnant partner as she intends to attend as well.
Will do my utmost to make it for the caching and the dinner.

Top idea!
