Away for the June Long Weekend with TheWhiteDogGang.We based ourselves at Orroroo and travelled far and wide over 4 days. We managed 1,500 kms during our travels.We managed to find some really old caches, one from 2001, and even managed to get all 9 terrain ratings. Not bad for 2 old farts with no coordination.The weather was dry if not cold on occasions.A good way to spend 4 days.A quick find thanks to the hint.TFTC

Easy find.

A Quick drive by on the way home from Arkaroola. TFTC.

Cute little spot, unfortunately just driving through,so cant stop for the multies.Love windmill, quick find.

Second day of the dynamic duos venture north. Left Orroroo and headed up to Hawker for a nice and relaxing day as time was not going to be a problem. Didn't have a lot of caches on the must do list so ended up looking for, and finding, any cache close enough to the road we were traveling north on. Still got to Hawker in time for a couple of shortish walks which enabled us to clear the immediate area of any unfound caches. And of course, the main aim of the trip, the A Taste of Hawker's Heritage AdLab. All up, completed an Earthcache as well, and found twenty physical caches and this was one of them.
Thanks to mobdx for placing this cache on our playing field.
Cache #13905 for me.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA. Geocaching has taken us to so many great places in this beautiful country. I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

A quick find while passing by. Loved some of the local scenery.

Thanks mobdx for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Good spot I live in Cradock and never knew that there are caches here

I haven't seen an attachment exactly like this before, but it works, and the log was dry. TFTC mobdx.

It was another day of caching with ilook4geo and we found a good variety of caches along our route as we headed further north. We are enjoying the drier weather of this region. There were no problems in finding any of the selected caches and each log was signed and replaced before we moved on. Thank you to mobdx for placing this cache.

Found this cache while travelling along with goingplaces2. No problem. Cache was spotted, log was stamped, all was replaced. Job done! TFTC.

A great day out after another covid lockdown.

We left our residence just after 0800 hours with a nice sunny looking day and took a scenic drive around the Flinders Ranges, heading from Port Augusta to Quorn, then north to Hawker, and south to Jamestown returning home around 2200 hours in the middle of a good rain downpour

Thank You for bringing us to these Caches and to see more again soon

Replaced the log due to water damage however further maintenance may be required
