The fire gods have spoken. Let's put this cache to rest.

fear cache a victim of recent bushfire ,stepped in 6" inch of ash treeside at the listed GZ../hence archived.

claiming the smilie for this one...

Out with Brutus for a days caching. Having just finished Five Oh, we head towards Fruitloops to see if we can do them all.

We did stop off and try, given we were ankle deep in ash in some of the spots, I think this one is sacrificed to the caching gods.

In the light of the last log, will disable the cache, pending archiving.

Couldn't find this cache. The bush fire has burnt all around the tree and fence and it was to hard to search further.

Stopped to get this one whilst driving up the hill after helping Roverrock knock over a few of the nearby Towitta caches. A beautiful view down the valley late this afternoon and a couple of HUGE kangaroos in attendance nearby. TFTC

We have parked our caravan at the Sedan Football Club for a couple of nights to do caching in the area.
After lunch we headed towards Angaston finding caches as we went
A quick find
Thanks crane2

Container had about 2 cm of water in the bottom. Everything very wet. Great drive by though.

A strange marker - and a quick find. Thanks Crane.

Found quite by fluke. TFTC

Found. A quick drive by on our way to sedan. TFTC.

Out for a drive to Swan Reach to catch up with some friends, starting to have a green tinge to the hills. TFTC

Found with TriBre, Mastamak, KidzJCT, FairyBum and Gummy Dales while in Adelaide on a four day geocaching excursion from Brisbane.

Thank you to all cache owners on a fantastic bunch of geocaches.

This cache was found on Day Two of our Four Day Adelaide Caching Tour, with TriBre, Fairybum, Mastamak, KidzJCT and Running as Teams BosNewellgus and Gummy Dales. Team Gummy Dales joined us late last night, and with all teams in attendance we headed out to the Barossa Valley Area.

Today the attack would be on the Fruit Loop, Five Oh and a whole lot of caches in between! I know we drove through the Barossa and we elected to stop for lunch at one of the wine estates but by the time we can to think about lunch it was way passed 2pm and we had run out of wine estates to stop in on! We did eventually make a stop in Mount Pleasant for Dinner at a great Little Pub, and it was Poker night! We did not stay as there was still smiley's to be found....

With the large volume of finds I have written a generic log. I would like to thank the CO's for creating a Great time out and I can assure you fun was had by all. I believe we will be planning another trip to SA....

This was the 84th find of 188 finds for the day in SA, with 1 DNF's by this time of the day.

Found with TriBre and our team BosNewellgus, KidzJCT, Fairy Bum and their team Gummy Dales.

We were down from Brisbane for 4 days of geocaching. TriBre and I flew in yesterday morning and got a good head start on the cache finds. KidzJCT and Fairy Bum flew in late last night. It was up early this morning to continue the smiley hunt.

Today we headed up towards the Barossa and ended up completing power trails Five Oh and Fruit Loop and a heap of individual caches.

We had a heap of fun today driving through this area. Great scenery and a chance to check out a lot of small towns My only regret is that we didn’t spend more time here and we didn’t visit one of the many wineries we passed by. We did have a fantastic pub dinner in a small town I didn’t even know the name of.

I hope everyone in SA realise how good they have it here geocaching wise. A geocache almost everywhere you turn. We had a fantastic time while here and no doubt will be back again sometime. A big thank you to all cache owners whose caches we found.

Due to the volume of caches found I have only written a generic log. This should in no way detract from the fun we had in finding each and every cache.

84th find of the day. Logical find.

Had 20/20 vision on this one, like many b4 I was wondering about the naming of the cache,tftc

Now the name makes sense. Thanks

Yippee I tried to hide it as much as I could teehee

This cache was found by Team PacketStorm and Team Indiana08 whilst completing their designated mission to SA. The teams set out together on the 01/02/13 to 09/02/13 to gain as many smiley's as they could in a short amount of time. Both teams logs will be exactly the same but I can assure you much fun was had by all.

Thank you to all cache owners who have placed and maintained these caches.

Day 8, 08/02/13, 2nd last day of our SA trip. We are very tired today but seeing as we are so close to 1000 finds on our trip we are pushing on! Had a great day cleaning the area of caches between Gawler and Bordertown. We also managed to get another FTF in Tailem Bend 'Nobody's Hero''.
We found 81 caches today.

Out with Rustic Relics caching from Angaston to Swan Reach. I wasn't concentrating and missed the little turn in. Had to drive some distance to find a place to U-turn. Once at GZ it was a quick find. Had a chuckle about why it was called 20! TNLNSL TFTC crane2!

A nice easy find while out caching with SA4ages, thanks for the cache.

A mice quick one in a ptetty spot

Easy find

Windy again today and also trying to rain
TFTC

We'd had a look for this one before but there were muggles nearby and we weren't too thorough. This time we had the place to ourselves and made the find without too much trouble. Very windy up here today, too. TFTC

Indeed, it was 20.

Thanks for the cache crane2.

Easy tftc

Found it, cheers!

Good hide tftc

I thought I was the only one who wondered the lack of caches along a well travelled path...

We were very fortunate that we were able to get a few extra days off after Easter and after attending the Oz Mega event for the first four days we decided to head across to this part of the country and spend a few days picking up some local caches in the Riverland area. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and we are now heading home hoping to grab a few more caches on the way.
We were heading south down this hill and taking in the fantastic views about three quarters of the way down we saw push bike riders coming "UP". We're not sure what part of the brain tells you that's fun.
Once we reached the car park at gz the cache name became apparent and after a short stroll we had the cache in hand and our name added to the log.
Our thanks to crane2 once more for the cache.

Found as part of a weekend caching in the Riverland. Found with TWDG, Trail06, Team Waldron, Astro and Freddo! Loved the area, plenty of hidey holes for all the caches! [^]

Nice hide, TFTC crane2

Fairly easy find. Driven on this road plenty of times but never had a chance to stop here before.
Funnily, the last log in the book was from a non-cacher who was having a wee wee nearby and spotted it. Nice of them to write in the book and place it back.
TFTC.

A great and best caching day, 1st of 100 finds on our way to finish off some of Wandering Heroes series... Thanks crane2.

From the logs we obviously did not approach from the intended direction so missed the significance of the name. Great stone walls. TFTC.

Found on an afternoon caching to Sedan and back. SL TFTC.

Found at 12.20pm GAFF1. An impressive drive down from the high plateau and those stone walls are amazing - so much work for someone.
Thanks crane2.

1. It took longer than 20 seconds to find this cache.
2. The cache was not in the 20th place I looked.
3. This cache was find number 19 for a day of caching in the mallee.
4. I took 20 seconds out to admire the view.

Thanks for the cache crane2

We always seem to be on the wrong side of the road to find these caches. Managed to turn around not much further up the hill and then down to the cache. Out of the car, quick grab and sign. Left a toy bush and a klem bear and took a car. TFTC

Interesting name for a cache.
Oh. I see why!
We came up from the east, and - oh boy, missed it ... had to go way up the hill to find a place to turn around.
