Found it! Scribbled down lots of numbers and letters and did the calculations and GZ seemed to make sense. Was happy to find the cache quickly at GZ. Nice peaceful location to sit and do the sums on this multi. TFTC!
Clare and Gilbert Valley caravan trip. Day 5 - Brinkworth to Snowtown and return.What a great multi, just needs some better wording around what numbers are required.Had a chat with the headstone installer making a new plot.TFTC
Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor. We are on the home stretch now, just a few days in the Yorke to pick up a few caches. Thanks for the cache, we are enjoying the history in this area.
Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. After spending some time in Peterbough and Minlaton we moved to Moonta to grab finds in Moonta and surrounds. Out on wet and misty day run to Clare and caching en route. Thanks margieh
After lunch in Snowtown I headed out to find a number of old school sites and caches.
Where there was schools there had to be churches. It must have been very busy spot here on a Sunday ️
My last cache for the day and finished off with a colourful sunset topped the day’s adventures

Not reading one question correctly, it took a while to get coordinates right. Once sorted, the cache was quickly in hand and stamped. TFTC
I managed to get away for a couple of days to try abd build up the numbers for the year. I stayed at Orroroo overnight and made my way around the mid north.
All caches found were in good order unless otherwise noted.

Found on a trip to the northern Yorke Peninsula (and a bit beyond).
The required information was collected, final coordinates calculated and cache found without any problems.
Thanks Margieh for the cache.

Took a little while to work this one out. Successfully located the container in good condition, but suspect storm damage at gz has made retrieval of the container quite challenging . Great history. Tftc
gridge98 had asked about going caching in the lower north area today[?] and I sure wasn't going to say no[^]
There was heat, rain[^], thunder and lightning[^] and cache finds totalling 31 of which 1 was a event held at 11pm at night at Vili's Mile End[|)][xx(][|)] I was exhausted by this point[|)][xx(][|)] and so slept in the car until the 6am event to farewell Gwen[|)][^]
Some awesome sights seen[^], great back roads travelled (some more slippery than others especially after rain showers passed overhead) and Rex had a ball running some roads and chasing vermin out of cemeteries[^]
We saw lots of 'old schools or sites'[^], entered tiny townships and learned lots of history[^]

A quick find here cache is all good
Today locus cache and I headed north to clean up some caches we missed between Snowtown and Clare and the odd cache here and there. With limited time we managed to get 32 caches whilst dodging the rain.
Thanks for the cache

In Clare for the weekend...friending and caching...
We did take a wide berth to get a few on the way to, from and in Snowtown this evening...
Fantastic locations...things have a different look and perspective at night by torchlight...

A day off from work had me off to the north west with Purrfect Di and Jack...
A few random caches to be found along the way - this was one of the lucky ones
Realistically it was a stinking hot day, with hoards of icky flies, harsh winds, and smoke filled skies from the KI bushfires
But we still had a good time hopping in and out of our air conditioned geo mobile!
Many a theological discussion may have occured here, but all that's left now are mini churches ! ! !

Staying in Balaklava for the grain harvest, but our time here is drawing to a close. Today we ducked out for a drive to Snowtown. Really enjoyed the drive along the backroads.

A quick calc at an interesting spot.
No churches left. A pity the heritage is gone!
Quick find and sign and on my way...

Interesting location, information gathered GZ found but only scraps, confirmed location with a previous finder and left a replacement for the next fnders. Interesting spot and loved the work in the memorials

Interestingly enough, it's quite common for churches of different denominations to build close to each other .
As usual, made this one difficult for ourselves by presuming you'd use all 8 digit dates [B)].
Obviously this wouldn't give us any reasonable coords, so reverted to simple numbers to do the calcs [8].
Should have just read all the description and the xxxx, then looked around . TNLNSL.
Thanks Margieh.

mmm! , We left late this morning after getting held up at home with a visitor so off we went after they left, Love Birds in the back seat Squash99 and BN97. This one has taken us a long time to do, it just become too annoying having a mark and not a smiley waiting for us. As we have done every other cache in the area so now we can finally say we have found this one. About time!! TFTC
After doing the numbers it was a nice quick find, I'm getting good at these kinds of caches, tftc
Heading to the Flinders Ranges for some 4WDing leaving a day early to cache my way up. The weather looked ominous with black clouds, strong northerly winds but by the end of the day it became quite cool. Made 37 finds from Paralowie to Quorn.
Found it in the open - hid it a little better. TFTC.

I have visited this cache previously and managed to get my numbers badly wrong. Today I only made one small mistake which was quickly identified. Where have all the people gone, and what happened to the churches?
One of 89 finds while riding the Bicycle SA 2012 Annual Tour.
Thanks for the cache Margieh.

Thankyou for bringing us to another great location, and giving us a small history lesson too.
A quick find as the sun vanished and the grey clouds rolled in!!! Thanks Margieh for the hide!!
A nice multi to break up the driving around. Found on our Clare Valley & districts caching trip today. Driving around on the back roads & dodging lizards on the roads. The cache was out in the open so I put it back better than what we found it SL TNLN TFTC
Finally come back and search but my new gps said other side of road so I used my old gps - yep found it. Signed the log. Thanks Margieh.
So which deity do you support? The one with two heads? Or the one with eight arms? Or one with a really neat hammer...
Another multi where I have to spend ages extracting 26 numbers, only to use a fraction of them. I should have just gone with my hunch as to where it would be hidden – I was only 5m away in the end [^].
…But I didn’t , and after it had all been calculated, found an easy cache. Loved the little church. It reminds me of another similar one in Piccadilly [^]. No swaps. Cheers.

Today we won the duel. took a bit to click and then aha there it is. Tempted to use the dunny but think I will just hold on. TFTCSL
Gathering the info & finding the cache were the quick bits.
The math on the other hand!!!

Staying at Clare for a short visit with Klems Mob. Took soldier, left erasers. T.F.T.C.
Found after rechecking calculations that took us down the road a little way realising that an I and a 1 are very similar and should not be confused in the formula. Read it properly and yes there it was in walking distance from where we were first parked the car. Thanks
mmmhhmm, figured it out and took us straight to it. Thanks Margieh, interesting place!
closing in on 1000 by 2010......
neat multi in a spot I had considered myself - but you did a beter job han I had planned!

Our second little replica church we've visited today! At first I thought we wouldn't be able to work this one out, but realised we needed more than just the date for the first 2 questions. Once we had 26 numbers to work with, the rest was easy.
Thanks Margieh.
Thanks Margieh.
Found with no hassles - Lizard Out Soldiers In - TFTC

Thoughts of Choose Your Deity by Team Waldron crossed my mind here. In the end you have to choose. I think the Deity is the easy bit. The leap of faith is the scary part for most.
Clear skies and our thanx once again to Margieh from TeamAstro Thanx for the [orange]silver[/orange].
Another FTF thankyou Margieh. I have to read the small print a bit more carefully as I had a few to many digets but it was worth it.TNLN TFTC Tk2
