After a week of caching around Adelaide incorporating The Great Leap Forward event, HansandLinda, MeandDe and I moved camp to Sedan to capture some more targeted caches. HansandLinda & I tackled this one today. Another great day for caching. TFTC FLIPPER&CO
After over seven weeks on the road, I'm back home and finally catching up on all my logging.Caching in South Australia was fantastic, so many good hides to find, and we found ourselves zigzagging all over the place doing lots of geoart but of course ran out of time to get everything done on our to-do list.The majority of caches we found were in great condition and well maintained, which is a credit to all the CO's who placed them, so thank you.Our logs were mostly signed as 5 for QLD to save room on the log sheets, and no doubt, we'll be back again in the near future ??

We're camped near Sedan with friends and this morning I retrieved HansandLinda from Mannum so we could find the NVRATHM "helmet" series. Once we'd finished that, we headed back to camp for lunch and then they got the notification that their car was ready to be picked up so back to Mannum we went. There were a few stops on the way.... Thanks for find #5602TNLN
TFTC FLIPPER&CO your cache Come Renovate Purple With Me that we found today. We are in Mannum waiting for the geo-vehicle to undergo some repairs. Meandde offered to take us to Sedan to complete the FireHelmet geo-art. An offer gladly accepted. After a couple of hours the geo-art was completed. After a stop in Sedan to catch up with Wollaston, Honeysucker and DiMorgan we were chauffeured back to our car , which was now ready to be picked up, but not before doing some caches along the road home.Find Count: 18729

Day 17 of our loop through Vic and SA then home.
After our big day of finishing off the Bike wherigoes yesterday, we needed to head further afield from Loxton to find a nice number of caches. We found the fruit loops and anything around that suited us. fitzy_1965, albida33 & I signed as MAF or FAM to save room.
All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned.

Southern Autumn adventure Day 18. Post Mega South East SA trip Day 12. After a huge day out doing the remaining On Your Bike caches, today was a bit more driving and my second visit to the fruit loop series before exploring some other caches in the area including Cambtai and Sedan as we headed back to Loxton for a dinner from the local hotel. Caching was with Fitzy_195, MinnieK and albida33 and logs were signed as F.A.M. or similar, It was still a long day, but we managed to find caches so we were all happy.
Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO

Rutherglen Mega and South Australia Trip Day 17. Today we headed out early to get the Fruit Loop series and then to cache around Cambrai and Sedan as we thought that was enough for today after our huge day yesterday. We got to do the ferry ride at Swan Reach twice which we always enjoy This was the next find of the day, and it was a quick find once at GZ. Signed, replaced, and then we headed off to the next one on the list.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO !!

Off on a jaunt with Clare007, Gizmo's Gang and CPWanderer to get on our bikes. On the way to the meeting point Owl spotted a green box and slammed on her breaks (in a sober and responsible way). A quick find and she was on her way again.
This ruin has more to see and admire than the last one so photos were taken before making a quick find at GZ.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the placement.

Today I headed up to Sedan and surrounds to get some numbers to help me reach my target of 13000 for the year. I also needed a multi for my calendar and there were plenty to choose from up here.
It was a great day for caching, blue skies and sunshine but not too hot, although I did get a sunburnt arm through the car window.
Lots of great caches and didn’t see any snakes which was great.
All up 48 finds for the day. Thanks to all the CO for their efforts really enjoyed my caching today.
Nice little series TFTC Flippers

After spending a very peaceful and quiet night camping on our own at Towitta, we were on the road again today, caching with ilook4geo. This was a very easy cache to find and both lots of initials were soon registered on the log. Time then to return everything to its place and continue with the hunt. Thanks go to FLIPPER&CO for placing this cache.

out with mogni, allister w, JJ52, before we meet up with CP Wanderer, Clare007, and Gizmos Gang for the day. We meet up at sedan and went and got some puzzles on the way to the target caches which was the geo art " bike " wherigo series. Then headed down to do the wandering heroes fishy tales and then on to the tail end of the wandering hero's trail. All caches where found in good repair and only one needed a extra log sheet.
Out with sir_spectre, JJ52, allisterw, Clare007, Gizmos gang and CPWanderer for a huge day of geocaching. We managed to get a few puzzles and the wherigo powertrail. Of course we had to find a few others along the way.

Another glorious autumn day waiting around for our camper to be fixed. Cruising around the back roads, seeing the sites and the history. House rules would have trouble with this one. Tftc

Out on the 5 day geocaching in the Blanchetown region and today I ventured down to Sedan rambrai and the back to Swan Reach and back to base on the eastern side of the Murray. I found 24 in todays run including 2 PT's close to Sedan. Most caches found were in Good nick but some of the PT ones were cracked and broken and could do with some attention. Have found a few these caches now it is a shame that the near by building that the caches refer to have been leftto ruin. TFTC
After logging the August series, I stopped to do some renovating on the way back to Mannum. Thanks for the caches.
Logbook water damaged, might need replacing with a slightly more waterproof container.

Out on a mission today, It's father's Day and I have the company of my daughter for the day. Last night it rained and we expected the worse so we packed the TRED's and a shovel.
Luckily we didn't get bogged, we had fun, met other Dad's out with their children Geocaching, nice to meet others enjoying what would normally be declared a miserable winter's day in Spring.
Sadly we missed a few ones that we intended to get but that means we will be back when it's a little dryer and warmer.
Thanks to all CO's for bringing us to new regions for the treasure hunt.

Got a call from Hevwalker. It was her day off and we had planned to head out to the Sedan area for some caching and never made it about three times previous. She suggested that perhaps we could do it today. I took a FULL nanosecond before saying yes and picked her up a short time later.
After a full afternoon's caching the darkness was descending and it was time to head home. Of course still couldn't resist stopping for a couple on the way. Unfortunately the renovator's special was not visible in the darkness. But I did find the cache.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache. It added to a wonderful day of caching.

Purple is Mrs J's favourite colour. We didn't see any purple here though. Just green fields and golden canola. Doesn't anyone crop Patterson's Curse anymore? [:o)]
The cache was found quickly and we were back on the road in no time at all.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO.

Suscoe headed out this morning for another adventure on our caching trip with Phetlern.
It was a cold and cloudy start to the day when we headed out and the clouds continued for most of the day until late afternoon when some sunshine finally broke through.
Our trip today took us to the south east of the Barossa Valley and out onto the plains country between the Adelaide hills and the Murray River.
We found a range of traditional, a few multi’s and some puzzles on a trail which included the OTD June series, the OTD September puzzles, the OTD March trail and the BMT trail which ended near to Cambrai. A few DNF’s were made along the DMT trail.
We arrived back into Nuriootpa late in the day after a terrific time gathering finds.
Thanks to FLIPPER&CO for placing your cache, we enjoyed another terrific day of caching in South Australia.

We didn't read the hint, so this took us a moment to find and whilst in the bushes my top filled with a number of bugs so a few minutes later I had to strip in order to get them all off of me! LOL
LOVED this spot, but thinking the renos would cost a mint!
Out and about with Ozibags today where we enjoyed a beautiful country drive [^] on a gorgeous day [^] whilst having fun (gotta love lots of silly talk and laughter) [^] and picking up a few caches [^].
Not only did we have an awesome day, but we also had a few unexpected adventures.......including almost managing to get shot at [xx(] by a very scary angry muggle who clearly had a few issues (which also meant at least one of the caches we found will likely need archiving).....I do wonder what may have been cultivating on that property [?] [:(!].......but before we knew how our day was going to unfold, this was one of our stops

Went for a drive with GoodLook today to find a few geocaches and enjoy the sunny warm weather. Checked the bushes...no luck. Checked the hint...Aha! By then GooodLook had picked up some hitchhikers in her drapery and needed to stop at the nearest facilities to evict them! TFTC FLIPPER&CO.
Decided to find a few caches on our way home from Katarapko... smileys all around TFTC!
I do apologise for the generic logs. Was supposed to painting the outside of our house today, but it started to rain (darn shame) so a caching day it is then. Headed out to finish the Signal series but got sidetracked and ended up in Mannum then home via Sedan. A nice day out this was the 66th of 69 caches found. TFTC
Thoroughly enjoying a few days in the area before the Mega officially starts, despite the intermittent rain. Took this one day out of seeing the area via caching to do a numbers run along the power trails. We joined up with Albida 33 and Sol de Lune, and generally signed the logs as W.A.S. We found all that we sought, and called it a day at 200 and then went to the Mega site to set up camp.
Lots of effort in laying and maintaining this PT. The only downside was the prevalence of weeds and seeds, that sadly cachers are helping spread.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the series.

9960 and 112th of 163 found today.
Many apologies for the generic logs but if I don't do this they won't be logged for ages and will be no better than generic anyway.
Found while making our way to Monash for a couple of night after 4 nights on Yorke Peninsula. Of course this was via Murray Bridge which is the only way a committed (should be) cacher would go isn't it?
