Wow. That lake is stunning in pink today! It took me a few laps to find the cache. I had the correct shrub. Enormous shrub the first time but was distracted by the pink. I took a photo while signing the log. All is good here. The glass jar is holding up so far.

Jimmy and Goldy returned to Marion Bay for another round of sightseeing as well as caches, going for quality caches over quantity.

A quick find while passing through.

Lake is a nice pink today.

I heard something about a badge level thingy for writing longer logs... so feel to ignore from this point onwards.

Thanks for going to the effort to prepare, hide and submit this geocache for me to find, another smiley for my geomap.

Another cache found on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

The container is totally smashed. We have placed the contents into a glass jar to keep dry until maintenance can be done

A quick stop here today, cache easily found and is all good

A big trip away to the yorke peninsula planned for the weekend travelling around touristing and have a look at sights I’ve seen before, plus camping over the 4 days wherever we needed up at the end of the day. Plus why not find 116 caches along the way for the trip. Despite the wind on the first evening the rest of the trip we were delighted by the beautiful weather.

Thanks for the cache

We went on the hunt again today while travelling south again with ilook4geo. Some interesting caches were found and we enjoyed stopping at each one to break the trip.

Off on a road trip to the Silo Art tour Vic, Mildura, Goolwa SA, Port Victoria SA and then home via Murray Bridge, Naracoorte, and the Grampians, picking up some caches along the way as we see the sights. We are now staying at Port Victoria, a more picturesque spot than Maitland and today we spent the day looking around the local area before heading off tomorrow. After a short drive to a place called Curramulka we stopped to pick up a couple of caches on the return journey. The flies here were horrendous so it was Mr Pooky who braved the conditions and made the find. As the flies were persistent it was a quick sign and we were on our way again away from the flies. The Lake was a light pink colour today. If you don't like flies then I would give this cache a wide berth. TFTC. TNLN

Sitting at my computer during these Covid lockdowns, I am trying to catch up on a few logs that I haven't sent in yet.

Over the years, geocaching has taken me on many adventures, including interesting destinations all over my home continent of Australia and many overseas as well. It has also introduced me to a diverse group of like-minded caching tragics, many of whom I now call close friends.

Today, I was lucky enough to be out and about searching for caches, something I do on almost a daily basis. This was one cache that was targeted and found.

Sorry for the late log, something I am notorious for. Thank you for adding to the adventure that is geocaching.

Thanks Rocky Glen Grommets (F=1257 H=91) for the cache.

We joined forces with alansee, micaparamedic, Phetlern and The Drovers for an assault on the Gone fishn series and after we had finished these we settled into exploring this fantastic peninsula using caching as our guide.

This was the last cache for the day and it was a nice easy find

Many thanks for cache, to save room in the log we signed as Sneecks,

Unfortunately goodlook was a non starter due to injury but the stickers were already made.

The Yorke Peninsula has always been a drawcard for us, with its iconic stone buildings and historic ruins and now of course - countless caches. In the very fine company of Alansee, Micaparamedic, Team Crackers and The Drovers, it was an awesome blast of fun adding some more smiley tokens to our collection.
Interesting to watch the "moods" of the lake.

Thanks for this cache 'Rocky Glen Grommets'.

Another pink lake, who would have thunk it...?
Have seen dozens of them around the place, more common than one thinks.
Replaced the broken cache with a brand new 200ml Sistema, logbook is fine, but a new baggie and transferred much if the swag too.
Thanks

I'm staying in Moonta for Easter and today I decided to go for a drive south to get some caches that have been placed since I was last here as well as a few others along the way. [^]
I worked out my route so I didn't have to do too much back tracking and I set off on a lovely day for caching. Cool
I had a great day driving along some cool dirt roads criss crossing the peninsula and ended up with 26 finds and no DNF's which I was very pleased about as I had had a frustrating day yesterday. Surprised
There were numerous shades of pink today with the sun shining. Cool
Thanks for the cache Rocky Glen Grommets. Smile

The GOTHs were back together for a couple of caching days. Today's crew was myself, Aussie M&M and mogni . So of course the travelling watermelon came out once again.Cool
As usual it turned into fun and frivolity. Only two of the usual geocaching day out boxes of 'a fall' ,'blood being spilt', 'torn daks' and being 'outside my pocket query' were also ticked during the day. Surprised Where are we going I asked? Moonta area via Balaklava. So I only put 3,000 in - what are the chances we could stay in there. Razz Absolutely none! - As usual. And the blood. - As Usual Twisted
Despite it being the end of summer there was even some water today making for some lovely reflections. Found the cache too. Smile Thanks Rocky Glen Grommets. Big Grin

The GOTHS where out on a day of geocaching, laughing and having fun.... Today's adventures were planned by Mr Aussie M & M and he had carefully planned a full day of great caches.... we did manage to talk him into a few extras.
Another lovely location.
Thanks

Day 3, camped at Minlaton, and took a drive to Curramulka & Port Victoria.
We picked up a good variety of caches, some a little trickier to find than others.

Many thanks for placing this cache, Rocky Glen Grommets, for us and others to find.

Traveling from Yorketown to Kadina today, only 130km by the shortest route, but that's not how geocachers travel Razz it took me all day! Lots of detours and dirt tracks explored, great scenery, and a lot of fun finding caches along the way.

Another good find here, many thanks for placing a cache for others to find [^]

The lake was quite pink today with the prevailing waether conditions accentuating the colour of the water. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Rocky Glen Grommets.

Aarrgghh! Yet another pink lake. What we're hoping for is another blue lake to rival Mt Gambier. But this wasn't it. Actually, it wasn't all that pink today either. More a sort of muddy brown like the Murray.

While visiting SA, took a drive in the wind and rain from Edithburgh to find a cache or two and take in the sights on the way.
 
21-Apr-13
South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.

Today we were traveling on the Yorke Peninsula, the original destination for this trip for the third day. The night had been very windy and the first rain here for six months, so we were a bit wet. We spent the whole day and went from Pt Victoria to Yorketown. We went via as many of the towns as possible along the way. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.

Thanks.

Some beautiful colours on the lake today.

We found this cache as part of our family YP camping trip. Over the 12 days we saw some fantastic scenes and did a heap of cool stuff. This really is a beautiful slice of our country. To top off an already wonderful trip, we also found 145 caches, 6 trackables, 1 pathtag and attended 1 event.

Thanks for the cache!!
