Quick find. Replaced container.Found with Mogni and JJ52. All logs stamped as JAMS. It was a day when the JAMS crew got together again or at least three out of the five of us. Plan A was to do the Abandoned railway trail on e-bikes but Allister is out with injury so, Plan B was a day the three of us ( the remianing one is STILL on holiday, that is a dam long holiday ) and host a CITO in propect ( i need a CITO in that LGA ) on sunday and find caches " in that general area ), Mogni decided we needed to attend a event on the yorke's on saturday. So Plan C was born. Off to the Yorke's it was, the first cache found was in Kulpara and then working down to Port Victoria then over to the Welcome to the Yorke Valley Dam event and some tasty food provided and then some more caching to our overnight accommodation in Adrossan. Sunday saw us caching along the coast on the way home, somehow taking a detour through Mallala before getting to prospect to host Cane Reserve Clean up CITO, I even got a cacher from England at the CITO. 80 finds plus labs for the weekend away, it wasn't about the numbers, it was about a relaxing time away. Any caches that were found broken/cracked/etc were replaced and any full log books were replaced.

Looks like a clean upHere

Found

Out again with the Stooges gang. Hitting some more artwork and other targeted D/T caches.

Drive by this one so just had to stop and find it.

TFTC SL

Here we are, the 3 Stooges (weredunn4, WayneAPN and myself) hit the beautiful Yorkes Peninsula again.

This time we are targeting the Sea Horse series of caches and is often the case with us, no doubt there will be a few other bonus caches along the way.

A typical day out for us now, going hard for caches but truckloads of trash-talk, banter and laughs

All caches located & stamped, and most importantly, maintenance performed where needed.

TFTC

A beaut old structure here. Thanks for bringing us here.

Weekend away to Moonta with Pony1966. Nice to break up the drive... we've come 5km without stopping since lunch and gin tasting

TFTC

Found with Wal & Ol as we enjoy a caching getaway. Cache is in good condition, TFTC!

Had a day trip to get some caches from Kulpara and Arthurton, as well as more of the Gone Fishn’ series. All caches in good condition unless indicated in log. TFTC

Thanks Aussie M & M for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #8324 on 25/4/2023 at 11:16 am.

A day trip north to collect some smilies. Some caching therapy after a solid month of designing puzzles and placing caches. I can’t pass the opportunity of good weather and a mid week public holiday. Respect to the fallen.

Caches were in good condition unless stated otherwise. I signed the log myself with my stamp or with pen and returned as found. Maintenance was performed if required to make sure caches were in good condition for the next finder. Thanks for the fun.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Quick driveby grab on a Friday afternoon tftc

Hello

Thanks

Kulpara staying at the campground, near the hall
This morning we have met up with Gum-Ako to do a section of the fishing line series.
At the end of the day we stopped to find a couple of caches on our way home.
The farming paddocks look amazing, it was apleasure to be driving in the country for this series.
Thanks for placing this cache.

Was a little hard to spot

Out early on a chilly winters morning with iluvtrekking but at least it isn’t raining. Love these old ruins. This one could be a renovators delight. The walls are still straight - just needs a roof and internal fit out. Thanks for the hide.

TFTC nice find quick drive by out and about with geo wife LynSteNet another smiley face and a great day out collecting smileys

TFTC

I Love seeing these old buildings & only imagining how much hard work it was for those that built these little structures. I also wonder what secrets these walls hold, the history stored in the 4 walls.
Thanks for sharing this lovely location with us today. The log was signed & dated before being returned back to its hiding place.

Found on my York Peninsula caching Odyssey. I enjoyed the scenery and the caches. Thanks Aussie M & M.

Tftc.!

Found on the way to Edithburgh with cows with guns.TFTC.

Found on a holiday down on York's.
Thanks for the cache!

Third find for this holiday! Great hiding spot, tftc

Easy park and grab. Took TB TFTC

This was found as we wander this great country
While having a great day out
thank you Aussie M & M for placing the cache

Nice hide, with history! TFTC

Had some rain pass over while we were here this morning (the only rain of the day), so had to be quick .
TNLNSL.
Interesting piece of history; even noticed the blackboard inside the building has survived .
Thanks Aussie M & M.

Having a break from isolating at home we came to stay at the farm my Mum grew up on. Out and about now it is safer to wander we are doing a few caches. T.F.T.C.

Day 196 (Thursday 12th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Pt Wakefield today. A total of 122 for the day and 3986 for the trip. TFTC

The new container left by brisal5 means that this cache no longer needs maintenance.

A quick stop here, is this lost heritage? Cache is all good

Today was a great day out, after staying in port Hughes for the night. I got up to collect a few caches around the area before I had a bike race in moonta. After racing was over I was in a mission to find my 10,000th find whilst making my way back to Adelaide. A great day out overall.

TFTC

Love the Kalkabury school.

Was over on the York for work and decided to grab a couple of caches while here.

Thanks for the cache Aussie M & M

LKPS was transferred from DustyandDizz to user Aussie M & M

Found out with Beary Organised on way home. Cache trashed. TFTC TNLNSL Another bit of History.

Found this with CherryRose. Replaced broken cache. Removed rubbish and popped in some fresh swaps. Now all good for finding. TFTC SL

Nice piece of history here we found the newly placed cache along with the old damaged container. TFTC and the history, this is quite a relic

What an interesting spot. Brisal has placed a replacement cache here for you and we signed that one today (so you no longer need to do maintenence per Phetlern's log).

We stamped the logs today with our "GoodLook & Feathertop" stamp.

A spontaneous trip to the YP with my great buddy Sally. We started early as we only had the day to cache - so we focussed on completing the last of the "Gone Fishn'" trail that we started at the end of 2017.

Sal and I also ventured off to do a handful of other caches in the area before leaving the YP.

Thanks so much for placing and maintaining the cache DustyandDizz! [^]

Off for another Puzzled Puzzlers caching Wednesday adventure. Again it was myself, S.A. Sewer rats and Blackadders heading for the Copper Triangle for a day of laughs, fun and smilies. But today we had decided we would cache until dark, have a bite to eat and continue with some night caching.

But as usual we had to get there first and decided on a convoluted route via Arthurton would be the way to go. [^] Oh boy the cache was a quick find but as previously stated the container was broken and was one again full of water and the log a pile of mush. Left that in place and added a new container and log book for future finders to sign until owner can swing by and collect the old one. All good to go again.

**Thanks DustyandDizz for this cache. ** You can remove the spanner.

This cache appears to be in need of owner attention. The lid is broken and no longer weatherproof. Container has succumb to the efflux of time and weather.

13:00
So many caches, so little time! This is one of a variety of caches we were able to find as we made our way to Port Wakefield, the first overnight stop on our journey home. This one is not travelling so well - container is cracked and the contents are wet.

Thanks to 'DustyandDizz' for the hunt and cache placement

Again with a Rat seeking to finish the nearby series and a number of others over in this part of the world. The Adders missed logging this one.

Another forgotten piece of the states history if it were not for this hobby. Cache was a bit worse for wear and could do with a new log. TFTC PG

A quick stop and stamp for a snake and a Rat.
WE wandered if the kids of today could learn in the building. Tftc

Find # 5165

Day 1
Found with sharkiefan

A Big week was planned to travel around South Australia, staying in Minlaton, Tarlee and Adelaide. We cache along a number of Trails, managed to grab a few off the beaten track, some well known caches and the odd one that came up on the map as we were travelling around.

It ended up being a massive week of 2960 odd kilometers travelled, with day find counts of 25, 256, 361, 318, 66, 205, 104 and 76 (yep thats 1411 for the 8 days)
1062 micro, 238 small, 60 Regular, 45 large, 3 Virtual and 3 Other.


TFTC Team SouthWest

Found with FUF009.
We headed out of St Arnaud, VIC early this morning and drove practically non stop to Minlaton with either totally random stops for caches or specifically selected caches.
It felt like a very quick drive despite it actually being about 8 hours all up.
Such a nice change of scenery and nice for both of us to have free range caching rather than the limited range St Arnaud has left for FUF009 and difficult Melbourne caching for me.
All caches found were in good form unless mentioned at the start of my log.
Apologies for the generic log but I just can't do individual logs after the mass of caches that were found. I'm so tired they all have merged into one big cluster.
Thanks to all the COs for their hides. Tftc

Quick find on the way home after a quick day trip to the Yorke, used as a excuse to stretch the legs
TFTC postiegirl06

Found at 2:42 PM GAFF1.
On our way out of the peninsula to our camp in Lochiel and we selected a few caches along the way.
These schools are so interesting - why so many were required. Were there so many children that couldn't travel?
Thanks postiegirl06.

**# 18002** Found on the SA leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A fine Spring day for a start on the Gone Fishin trail with Tassie Trekkers.
Not many muggles around today, and a few extra finds on the way there.
Thanks for the cache postiegirl06,
***Roostaman***

Today we explored Athurton using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way with Roostaman and this was one of them. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found on the 03/08/2017 at 2:58:00 PM.

On the final day of caching Yorke Peninsula with J+J. We had to stop earlier last night than expected due to the dreadded rain started to fall. Unknown to us in the morning was just how much rain fell! One local farmer later told us there was 15mm of rain overnight.
The extra water made our caching trip wet, and very muddy. The final highlight was having to be towed out off a muddy road by an 8 wheeled tractor!

Thanks for the all the caches.

An easy find while caching with mogni. TFTC.

Aussie Mary and I decided we needed a few days away grabbing a few caches, focussing on Multies and Earthcaches with the odd traditional and puzzle thrown in for good measure. Obviously this met the requirements so off we went on a cache hunt.
Another quick find close to the road well travelled.
Thanks for the adventure from mogni

Caching with Noodles22 on a very boggy road, were slipping and sliding adding to the fun. Thanks to all the CO for placing these here for our enjoyment.

A quick find while doing the nearby Fishn Trail. TFTC

This was day 1 of our adventure and we made our way out of the City and headed towards the underwater themed geo art [^].

I had been eyeing off an interstate trip for some time now and made plans to head to SA to power through the geoart trails over here . I roped in my geo buddy Krabiboy to join me and we set about solving [?] caches and highlighting Jasmer caches that aren't available over in WA. Our adventure took us from the CBD over to the Yorke Peninsula and then back across to the Murray Bridge area . We were relentless in chasing down the finds and picked up as many as we could in the week that we had available. Due to the park and grab nature of our visit, the log books which weren't able to accommodate the ink stamp we had made were signed with the initials 'jk'! Fave points will be awarded for those caches which are considered awesome

A massive thanks here to postiegirl06 for placing this cache here and for tempting us to venture over to this area. Cheers!

jinta29 found your cache LKPS today. This is my find #6595 and find #73 today. I was able to get my name in the log book here and we replaced the cache as we found it. Thanks once again postiegirl06 for placing this and bringing us to this part of the world!

jinta29 and I are in town this week after many months of planning for a week to remember. We are heading to the Yorke Peninsula, Murray Bridge and as many places in between as we can get to. This was one we found along the way.

TFTC postiegirl06.

postiegirl06, I found your cache LKPS on 24/4/17.
This is my find #3444 and find #72 today.

Good little spot. The kids loved checking out the school.

Heading to Ardrossan grabbing a few stray caches on these lovely back roads on a nice sunny day.
Another lovely old ruin, looks like a very small classroom, love these historic places. [^]
Thanks for the cache postiegirl06.

A very small classroom with many stories to tell I'm sure. TFTC

Very cool, I enjoy seeing these old schools.

The long weekend presented the perfect opportunity for my wige (Tounga) and I to plan a quick get away.
So, we booked some accommodation in Moonta and decided to cache the upper Yorke Peninsula.
We had a great time, finding 129 geocaches in all.
Thanks for hinding your cache postiegirl06, we enjoyed it.

I apologise for the generic log.

On Easter weekend I went to South Australia with KTCvic, zobo04, Gonefishin07, BorisB&Natasha, De Ja Vu and Bounty Trackers.

Everyone had a great time there finding 471 caches in 24 hours. Finding a total of 640 throughout the weekend that we were staying up there. All the caches were well hidden and some were difficult and some were easy to find. We had great time trying to be the person to find the cache before the others. Surprising us on Easter Sunday morning the Easter bunny had visited us in the night.

Thanks for all of the wonderful caches.

Easter Weekend - Yorke Peninsular - 3000kms - 640 caches - 4000 cache milestone.

After discussions with Gonefishen07 and Bounty Trackers a plan was hatched to visit the Yorke Peninsular to tackle the fish geo art over Easter. We set out Thursday lunchtime heading to Bordertown, a side trip to Minyip to check out Coopers Crossing was made. Friday we turned off at Murray Bridge and headed to Gawlar to check out Gawlar's Fort Knox, we had lunch at Port Wakefield before heading down to Marion Bay to meet everyone. The group Geo Nerds comprise of Gonefishen07, Zobo04, Bounty Trackers, KTCvic, de ja vu, Velocachu and BorisB&Natasha. We cached locally on Friday afternoon and hit the powertrails in earnest on Saturday where we finished on Sunday lunchtime. We then visited a number of caches on the coast to see some magnificent views. Monday saw us depart Marion Bay heading up to Balranald through Renmark grabbing a cache in three states in one day! A detour to Tocumwal then the drive back to Melbourne saw a fantastic weekend end. Thank you to Leesa, Zoe, Ash, Rob, Kate and Sioux for the fun, frivolity and friendship that made the weekend so great!

After packing up and saying our farewells we checked out the Jetty at Marion Bay before venturing north to see an old school. We had lunch at Auburn, a lovely town and wound our way through Renmark across to Mildura and finally stopping at Balranald. Not a lot of caches today but we did manage to achieve a cache in three states!!!

Another piece of history and an old school building, sitting here with Campbell imagining what it would be like attending this school. Thanks for bringing us here.

Thank you for all the placers and cache owners we had a fantastic time!!!

Found with Zobo04, Borisb&Natasha and Bounty Trackers. Heading on our way to The York Peninsula for Easter and to catch up with the rest of our group. Sorry for the late logs life sometimes has an uncanny way of getting in the way. I was busy trying to get in front of KTCvic whom we are meeting up with. So lets get as many caches as we can along the way so for 5 minutes I will have more finds. Nothing like a little friendly competition. Thanks for making our trip fun and TFTC loved this spot fav point

Found with Gonefishen07, BorisB&Natasha and Bounty Trackers on our way to an Easter weekend on the York Peninsula. We had a great time thanks to all CO's for the fun times. Sorry for the late logs. TFTC

Geo Nerds Yorke Peninsula caching exposition consist of Borisb&Natasha, Zobo04,De Ja Vu, KTCvic, Gonefishen07, Velocachu & Bounty Trackers.
Gonefishen07, Zobo04, Borisb&Natasha and myself Bounty Trackers left on Wednesday morning with one objective, to get Gonefishen07 cache finding count higher than KTCvic who was about 100 cache in front. We spent 2 days straight chasing caches all the way from Gippsland in Victoria to The York Peninsula in SA, where we finally got 8 caches ahead of KTCvic. The smile on Gonefishen face said it all ( I think the comment was made CATCH ME NOW Trenty ).

Along our journey we made a side trip to Gawler to get the multi Fort Knox cache which was on our hit list. What a brilliant cache. Well worth the detour. It will be getting a favorite point from me.
On Friday Velocachu, KTCvic & De Ja Vu graced up with there presents and it was time to start the Yorke Peninsula Geo Art Starting at Hook then Jellyfish, Fish, Anchor,some of Fish Tales,Sammy Starfish and most of the Boat, we then did Sally starfish, and the rest of Fish Tales and then finished with the leftover boat.

Milestone achieved

Velocachu 500
Zobo04 2000
Borisb&Natasha 2000
De Ja Vu 3000
KTCvic 4000
Gonefishen07 4000
Bounty Trackers 4000

Thanks to all the cache owners for the effects in placing such a great series we just loved it.

A BIG THANKYOU to Kate,Rob,Sioux,Katy,Trent,Leesa,Campbell & Zoe for a fun filled Easter long weekend, I had a great time with lots of laughs, thanks again.

It was with great excitement that I headed to South Australia with the Geo Nerds consisting of Gonefishen07, Bounty Trackers, KTCvic, de ja vu, Zobo04 & Velocachu.
I have never cached outside of Victoria, nor in a group and I was really looking forward to it.
Every single one of us achieved a very memorable milestone made even more special because they were achieved with very special friends.
Thank you so much to the many COs for the time and effort in placing their caches. I'm sure it enables many groups like ours to get together, have lots and lots of fun and form life long friendships, all in the quest for little pieces of treasure.
We spent quite a bit of time here exploring the old school house and imagining what it would have been like all those years ago. Thank you for showing us this lovely piece of history and gets a favourite point from me.

Camped at Paskeville bowling club, and ventured to pick up a few caches in the area.
A pleasant drive in the country and we enjoyed the scenery.

We picked up a good variety of caches, some a little trickier to find than others.
Very hot and humid today, so we headed back to the caravan early.
Cache located after a short search, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, postiegirl06, for us and others to find.

A quick find, and historical, Thanks for the cache and smiley face. SL.

Heading to Arthurton for the 3 day clearing sale--3 days, that's huge!
This was one I found on the way.
This will need attention before winter.

Cool

Water was along the side of the road from the rain of the previous 12 or so hours. I had to work my way around because I didn't want to get my footwear drenched and have wet feet for the rest of the day with friends in Maitland. Eventually got to the cache. Great spot, love seeing old school schools.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring Australia after having attended Oz Mega.

Today was a moving day as we are heading towards Yorke Peninsula.

We stopped at your cache as it was along our route.

Thanks for bringing us here.

On the move again with FelixII.
Today we hitched the vans to travel from Mallala to York Peninsula picking up some stragglers along the way. This one was a quick find thanks postiegirl06.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Easy find while heading to Coobowie with earthlight

Took trackables to visit.,

With the promise of fantastic spring weather and a long weekend allowing for an extended caching trip, locus cache, clare007 and I made our way to the central region of the Yorke Peninsula with the aim of cleaning out as many caches as we could. TFTC postiegirl06!

What a fantastic couple of days! [^]
Sunday and Monday I enjoyed the company of RideTheGeoWalrus and Clare007 as we cached in an area that I have not cached in before.....therefore I enjoyed what is now a rare concept for me......not having to dodge previously found caches in order to find a cache to locus cache on
We found dust, mud, caches, views, trees and lots of laughs as we drove around and exhausted ourselves doing 115 smileys with 9 DNFs (although we went back later and got finds on several of these DNFs) and one event attended...with only us three there It's always good to CITO!
With CO's permissions, we also did quite a bit of cache maintenance as many logs were full or wet or both and several containers were broken or missing.
If any CO whose cache we visited really wants their old log back, then email me and I will try and work out which old log it is and return it to you.

I htink we all would have loved to have had a look inside the building but being good little geocachers, we stayed outside the private land fence line.

We had two days of some perfect caching weather while driving down central Yorke Peninsula with
Locus cache & RideTheGeoWalrus.
Thought the name was rather curious, until we pulled up near the plaque and it all made sense.
Cute little school, pity we couldn't have a closer look.
Thanks Postiegirl06 for bringing us here.

Another quick find on the road to Moonta. Well, we started out going in that direction but caching has taken us on a dogleg the wrong way - but caches are calling so all's good.

Found it pretty quickly, luckily as it was a freezing, winters day. Thanks.

Third find

Schools out tftc

Geez PostieGirl and Ciril you both get about! The non geo spidermonkey decided he would like to drive home to Adelaide from Stansbury a different way.....mmmm... always dangerous, but interesting stop. Both kids used the spot for a call of nature with the non geo kid wondering, out loud, whether they were growing special weed inside the building??? Took nothing, left nothing, thanks for the adventure. TBs visited

Quick and easy thanks

Our last cache of the weekend.

Took a while to find. GPS all over the place. But found it eventually ... Looking way too hard! Tftc

Log away Ciril will be assisting with upkeep, thanks Brad
