Now THIS cache was choice. Left daughter's dog in car out of respect to area, wandered in, wandered around, pretty sure I as being watched by someone or something... Couldn't find the cache. Then found a spot that wasn't it. Personally I had a ball here in the tiny creepy place. Never knew it as here, surprised by it's quiet right off the main road. Loved it. TYFTC SL TN LN fave

Last cache of the day. Found by Molly Squib while I was looking under the wrong tree. TFTC
It was interesting reading the headstones and connecting the different Reillys, including the first one to come to Australia in the 1850’s.
A favourite for the history at this cache stop.

Went on the wrong side of the fence before realising that the cache was the cemetery next door. Then made me to the correct gate and a simple find. Payed my respects then of to find another cache. TFTC

After changing my direction of travel to accommodate a FTF chase, I’m now in the lower Clare Valley with caches in all directions. Mintaro seems to have a bit of variety, so here I am, first visit.

An interesting walk to GZ. There is no signage where I entered from the footpath, and if not for knowing that there was a cache inside, I would have assumed that this was private property.

The cache was found fairly easily, in amongst all the deceased Reillys.

Thanks for the hide postiegirl,and for the ongoing care TheKellyGang.

Having paid our respects to the late Michael Reilly we then located the cache, left something and signed the log.

Another cache found on our 2022 South Australian Adventure and we have a beautiful day in Clare today, albeit a bit blustery.

Great little cemetery. We are enjoying our time travelling SA, fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Our thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

A few days in Leasingham Caravan park for a short break. In between wining and dining, time for a cache or two after discovering the nearby maze. Found after a short search with muggle friends. Would not have found this without geoC. Another interesting historical site. Tftc

Came down to Clare for the JWLE not to play the game but to play the geocaching game. Didn’t have much of a plan so when Courtney Rose and Gridge98 asked me if I wanted to tag along with them to cache around Spalding I said a big YES.
We found some great caches and did a fair bit of walking. Then back to Clare for the juggling flash mob very Carnivale.
After the flash mob I headed out on my own to pick up some caches south of Clare and to do the Carendo adventure lab. On the way stopped for a cleansing ale at Pikes with CoCo Pops.
Arrived back to Clare after dark had my only dnf of the day and then on to collect my curry and back to my super deluxe accommodation for a well earned rest.
Big thanks to all the CO and of course the JLWE Committee for a fun day.
Giving this one an FP great old cemetery TFTC

found while hiding temp game piece caches for the 20th JLWE. quick find.
The JAMS team (( JJ52, Allister W, Mogni, and sir_spectre ) plus TallBikeStan for this trip ) are headed off to the 20 th JuneLongWeekend Event in Clare. As you would expect extension poles, blow up kayaks, waders and ladders are in the car. I am sure every one else takes 11 hours to reach Clare from Adelaide, i am also sure via Burra is the logical to Clare . There was many photos taken of the fun times we had, even involving a ladder in the creek and of course many dirt roads ventured down. All caches for the weekend where stamped as JAMS and some more caches where placed on our travels. The missing JAMS member Michells&hound joined us in our B&B in Clare but didn't join with us for the JLWE game. The weather slowly got better over the weekend. It's good to see some gadget and creative caches around Clare that are permeant and not temp game caches.

Doctor Owl was going to be in Balaklava today and she asked if sushilord and I would like to come up and meet her to do some caching around the area. It was a lovely day for a drive and we met her for coffee in Balaklava then headed to Auburn, Saddleworth, Mintaro, Sevenhill and Spring Gully before ending up back in Balaklava. [^]

We had a fun day driving on some interesting dirt roads and tracks thankful that it wasn't wet. Surprised All but one of the caches we looked for were found and we broke the day up with a great lunch at the Saddleworth Pub. All in all a great day caching. Cool

A quick visit with the Reilly's as we searched for the cache. An interesting old cemetery well tucked away. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache TheKellyGang. Smile

This weekend, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to the Clare Valley for a bit of wine tasting and cycling the Riesling Trail. We were treated to great sunny weather, and nice to have been visiting the wine region.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I started the day by heading north around Clare to visit a few miscellaneous locations and old churches. We then made our way to Polish Hill River, and then on to Mintaro where we participated in the famous maze. After visiting *Taylors Wines* for a wine and chocolate tasting, we had a final session cycling along the Riesling Trail north from Watervale. We then made the return home, briefly stopping at Tarlee, Stockport, and Hamley Bridge.

This was an interesting little gravestones area. Rather than walk to the logical area, I made a long walk around to GZ, having to navigate a trough and the fence. So at least I returned to my car the easier way. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks a local postiegirl aka TheKellyGang for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/@jesswrigley stamp.

We had been invited to a Barby at Black Springs so we spent a couple of nights in the van at Farrell Flat.
Stopped for a coffee at Mintaro and then made a bloody ( I bleed a lot)find and sign in a delightful hidden area.
Lots of history and lots of parrots in the trees. Nice.
Took the TB to take on our travels.
Favorite point for location, maybe not for the sharp branches.

Out with CPwanderer today caching around Clare we detoured to Mintaro.
My driver had already found this one and as I was here, I wanted to grab this one too.
By this afternoon, the rain had ceased which made walking to gz much more pleasant.
I used the back entrance gate, which took no time at all to reach & soon spotted a SPOR.
Thanks for the walk & the cache postiegirl
