Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. We made the find here. Thanks WombatStew.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. Thanks Wombat Stew

Full time Nomads since March 2014.

Having been in Perth to visit family our stay has come to an end and we are on our way to Broken Hill for the Mundi Mundi Bash.

Stopping in Jamestown to catch up with Sylken. This morning we joined with them to attempt a new cache and try to convert some . Bumping into Chrispy was a bonus. We continued along in 3 cars, then 2 cars then it was just us caching our way back to Jamestown.

Fun Sunny day to be out and about.

TFTC Wombat Stew

While spending a little time in Jamestown we are grabbing a few caches as we tour around.

Many thanks for showing us this historic place Wombat Stew

Crazy to think people went to school out here and there were enough kids to school it

After making my way up to Caroona Creek Comservation Park yesterday and camping the night there my main goal of the day was to make the walk through Tourilie Gorge finding cache with 4.5 years unloved followed by the rest of the day finding caches around the mid north yet to be found before making my way back to Adelaide.

Thanks for the cache

Enjoyable drive on some country roads not explored previously. Nice bit of local history. Tftc

Nice afternoon drive with Detofinbars for a couple hours getting local caches and Whyte Yarcowie, getting 7 in total.
Quick find, TFTC

Unfortunately didn't get out to Browne's Hill but finding the little school and learning about its history made the drive worthwhile. tftc.

TFTC. Never stops amazing me how isolated and desolate all these school ruins around the state areLeft baby lid

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021!
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]

DAY 5: Exploring some mid north towns.
What a lovely old building. A quick find for us.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks Wombat Stew for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A nice quick find and some interesting history.

Thanks for the cache Wombat Stew.

HELLO

Another educational cache bringing us some history especially about the guy who made my old boots !

We like these ones, especially now that we too live in an old school.
Nice to see that someone still seems to look after the building and keep the history alive.

Much appreciation to Wombat Stew for hiding this cache on our mid north SA geo map game board

Touring the countryside with Jack and Purrfect Di.
Fav for the nice old place and for not using a mint tin !

Geocaches are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S20+, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck!

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins... but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about especially away from the city crowds,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Day 2 of our Mid North tour taking in some caching and the Jamestown Airshow.
Today we have visited a few interesting spots and we have awarded a favourite or two. Hopefully this cache has been awarded the prize.
Sorry for a generic log but that is just the way it is today. Been a very difficult weekend with unreliable automobiles and GPR's. Anyone want to buy one or both?
Many thanks for bring us to your special place.

Nearly gave up on this one but threw the GPS away and used caching skills. No reptiles in sight today!

Second day of our road trip to Jamestown airshow, leaving our over night stop over we decided to take the roads lessed traveled and grab a few caches along the way..

It was such a wonderful drive.. really love the country side out here this time of year.. I'm sure to come back out here again soon as I found my photography spots to come back to

Sorry for generic log, it was hard to remember all the caches, I will write custom messages on the ones that require them

What a wonderful little spot I really do like it , shall be back for a tad bit of photography

Thanks Wombat Stew for bringing us here

found it.
TFTC

Not far from home

Found It!
Another old school and another cache find. This old building is holding up well. I wonder if it will ever be used again...
TFTC

It was a bit cold and wet today, but we decided to go
out and get a few caches.
TFTC

Freezing day quick find then back to the warm car TFTC

I wonder what sort of pupil RM was? I enjoyed watching the doco on TV a few months ago about him and his family
TFTC

Wonderful day

very nice easy cache just out of town in nice scenery, one of those hidden buildings everyone forgets about. well done Wombat Stew for this one

Found this a few weeks ago n forgot to log it. TFTC

Found while wearing my "RM's" on the way home after the Jamestown Airshow Spectacular. Make sure you take the drive up to Browne's Hill after - the views are indeed spectacular.

Travelled up to Jamestown for LWE, caravanning with friends. TFTC

TFTC. An easy find.

Found it this morning on the way back to the farm. There must have been many of these little schools in the country,pity most have gone.
Took Highlighter, left large Paperclip.

TFTC Sigfried

Last cache for the day. Geograndfather is now understanding why we take so long to get from one place to another! But he is also thoroughly enjoying all he is seeing - this is a good example of something that would be missed by the average tourist. Fantastic history, especially seeing it is connected to someone so well known. Fav point from us. Thanks.

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Nice little School lovely shady trees, Geomum found this one quickly, TFTC

On a Clean up of caches with TheKellyGang which havn't found around the area.TFTC

Logging this cache as I move home,it's early in the morning after 500km of caching for just over a dozen.These pigeons sure can give you a bit of a scare in the dark out here.I was greatful that I did not need to enter the building,tftc

tb visits

been passed a few times never knew the was a cache here TFTc

What a lovely old building! One of the great things about caching is that you find these little gems. I just started a job in Jamestown, and already I have seen more of the surrounding countryside that I would ever be likely to otherwise.
I grabbed lunch from a bakery in Jamestown, and drove out to the cache following the GPS. I decided to eat at the school, but the brutally cold wind made that somewhat difficult. (Suit pants aren't designed for warmth.)
The school is in amazing condition, but be careful with the broken floorboards. The ones that are still there are in good condition, but several are missing. The door isn't locked, just jammed a bit. There is a visitors log in the middle of the room which I didn't sign becuase I had lunch in my hand.

Thanks Wombat Stew!

Brings back memories. Another one teacher school with probably seven grades being taught.

Its great to see how good a condition some of these schools are in, many are now just a pile of rocks with a plaque TFTC Wombat stew

Found nice pleasant drive

I am amazed how many of these little schools were around in their day!

DD2 Rushed out the car and had it in her hand before I could get out the car to join the search! Little monkey found it straight away. Thank you for the hide. We enjoyed the visit

Another glorious day today with beautiful sunny and warm weather...enjoyed the drive up to the hide...interesting old school and history...Ms Bushies2 found it easily. Thanks again.

Our last for the day and we made it before the light faded .
Really good to find out how far away from Jamestown RN went to school - it's a long way out !
Took stamp. Left locust. SL.
Thanks for another Wombat Stew and for showing us around Jamestown this afternoon [^].

We made an attempt to get to this cache from the West, but the condition of the roads after recent rain made us abandon this one until a drier day.

Trip up north to do a lot of Caching [8]
Some good history here!

Depending on which system you believe this cache is either exactly 200 km from my home coordinates or 200.1 km, either way it is the furthest cache from home visited during this weekend in the Jamestown area.

Reginald certainly got around from these humble beginnings. Would any parent let a thirteen y.o. go out and travel the world solo today?


A pleasant tribute to a another great ausie icon.

Dropping in some travellers for a quick visit and to put some miles on the clock.

Thanks Wombat Stew.

Quick drive around with sa mystery inc before heading home. Got here and then read the clue and headed straight for the cache. TFTC

Did this on Monday of JJJ b4 we tried and failed the multi.

Found on the way home from the JJJ weekend.

TFTC

Thank you for adding this to our local educational experience. We went for a drive while our tent dried on Monday morning.

An easy find after having lunch at the main Hotel
Thanks again Wombats Stew

The day this cache was published I was within 5km of GZ, however I had no idea that it was there. Today we stopped and admired the veiws.

A bronze to set of the 7 FTF what a bonus. TFTC

Surprised to get a [orange] Silver here[/orange]. A lovely place for the Reg to get an education . The old succulent plants look like they are still thriving from his day. Bet they can tell the story. Mulit coords spot on and a quick find. Wham Bam. Thankyou to Wombat Stew again.
