There was an old woman..... Nectar Brook, South Australia, Australia
By Newbs_Clan on 26-Jan-10. Waypoint GC23CG5

We are on our way home after our road trip to WA and caching along the way. I found this one quite easily and the log was dry even though I had gone prepared with a new piece of paper and plastic bag after reading the previous log. All was good and the log signed and off to the next cache.

Tftc. Paper was a little damp, couldn't Wright on it.thanks.

TFTC

Great hide! TFTC

Great cache in a beautiful spot. TFTC

Cheers for the cache

Nice drive off the beaten track

One from a pair in shady location 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, and after a few days on the Yorke, we are off to Whyalla before we head home. We stopped here to do some fancy work to claim our smile. TFTC.

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. Today heading to Whyalla for two nights before back to the west. Walked to gz from the highway to make a quick find.

Found after reciting a nursurey ryhme haha log requires replacing will do that next time i come past tftc

We drove down the wrong road of course and had to climb through the fence.
Found the cache and it was what we had guessed

Trip to Port Augusta for Veterans Golf and time to grab a few caches on the way. As well as some more on the return trip back home. Good find TFTC

TFTC

Was interesting find. Had a good laughter

Can you actually say ‘an old woman’ nowadays? I know some days I feel like one

TFTC Newbs Clan
Keep smiling

Thanks

Found it, cache seems to have lost its lid so requires maintenance. Tftc.

And a great place it is to live too. TFTC

Out doing my 2 favourite things with geodog Tonka and geosister H423L
Driving and caching
TFTC

For the ninth day of Christmas... went caching with Froghoppin.
Just one Frog, 'cos 9 frogs a leapin' wouldn't fit in the car

Off we went to the north today, and found a few things, great views, adventurous tracks, wild animals, and of course... your cache!

The old woman's house has seen better days and the cachey bit needs a new lid. But all inside was dry and worked out just fine. That's the harsh outback for ya!

Thanks to Honey Badger Gang for placing this cache on the SA geomap

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hunting around every day finding and signing using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, 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 Quite a lot of that actually!!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

Please do stay as safe as possible when caching.
Keep a lookout for bogs, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now our borders are open - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Much appreciation of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Here we go caching in Twenty Twenty Too

This weekend, I headed to Whyalla to catch up with a few other Geocachers and attempt some of the trails there. On Saturday, we targeted the FTF power trail from Whyalla to Iron Knob, and then spent the evening and the subsequent morning driving some of Whyalla's back tracks. On Sunday, I visited Cowleds Landing and back north, only to get severely bogged in one of Whyalla's clay pans. I then returned home via the August series.

Today, we started the day at a meet/greet breakfast event, and then I headed out with hevwalker and scramping for a few more geocaches south-west of Whyalla along the back tracks and main road, followed by the December trail series. I then continued south visiting Cowleds Landing and the proclaimed nudist beach. I next found *Potty Time*, only to realise that I had driven on the nearby clay pans, and then sank into the soft clay below on my way out. Eventually I had help in getting out, and finished my remaining time in Whyalla completing the pipeline August series, and calling into Whyalla Conservation Park for a few high favourite caches. I then made the long journey back to Adelaide stopping at a few miscellaneous geocaches along the way.

I noted the high Favourite Points with this geocache, so thought I would detour into this location whilst driving back home along the highway. An interesting cache in theory, but unfortunately its age is showing. The cache container doesn't appear to have a lid at the moment, but the logbook was in good shape. Thanks Newbs_Clan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found by The Noodler great place

Tftc. Lid broken log on ground have used branch as lid

Well if the shoe fits

Clever cache, it’s really damaged but great still

Camping up here for a bit and we’re introducing some friends to caching. Great hide but the log is saturated. TFTC

Day 313 ( Tuesday 7th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. Leaving Whyalla today. A total of 2 for the day and 6044 for the trip. TFTC

The log was very wet here, an easy find will need fixing up.

Today we headed home from woomera to Adelaide, with 5 hours of driving ahead and no restrictions on timing to return home we decided to do some caching along the way.

TFTC

In why Alla for seeing my family we made it to our 11th find but couldn't sign the log thanks

Water damaged, can't get anything out

Water damage bad. Cant get paper out

Wrecked and water logged but great idea!

Found this on our way homeward bound after the Quorn JLW events. After driving down the wrong track I found myself climbing through a fence to get to GZ. A quick find and a great cache in good condition. TFTC

This dot has annoyed me as I’ve driven up and down the main drag. Today I decided it was time to remedy that and made the detour. A nice easy (and suitable themed) find at GZ.

Thanks for the cache Honey Badger Gang.

Find #8593

Day 8
Going from Whyalla to Melrose. I have just paddled from port augusta caravan park to yorkey's crossing and back 5.2 km's each way. very glad i could park right besides the cache. quick find and sign. Not quiet what i was expecting.

What a clever cache!
Tftc

A cute cache although it does seem to need some attention TFTC

This was an easier than expected find and neat cache.
However we didn't write on the log on location, the part that was in the cache was too hard to get out and we found another part of it on the ground at the location. Needs new log.
TFTC

Found it but couldn’t get the log out to sign.

A cool hide on the side of a very busy highway! Travelling home on the end of a long weekend. TFTC

Loved this one. It was not quite what I imagined. Tftc.

Loved this Cache! TYFTC!! What fun scrub bashing. Not for the low-wheel based .

Yeah, love this one... a Favourite Point 'straight off the bat'
When I arrived at GZ the cache was a quick find but I wondered if it was the cache at first [:o]
{There is a funny line to finish that title for this cache but content such as that I wouldn't say online ha ha }

SL at 09:40 on Monday, 12 Feb 2018. The log book is good and dry [^] TFTC Honey Badger Gang

I was in the work truck so I parked it and walked the last 150m which I'm guessing isn't as far as the cache camo has walked. TFTC

Im driving back to adelaide today and i thought i would get some geocaches along the way.
I have saved 55 and this is number 2
Thanks for the cache

Cute cammo.
A quick find on our way south...
TNLNSL
Thanks

Took a short walk in from the highway to find this cache an made a quick find. TFTC.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was travelling past for work and needed a driving break so pulled off the road to park. Managed to drive close to GZ, wandered over to GZ and had a small chuckle when I located the cache. I did have my suspicions and was not disappointed. Extracted the log, signed and replaced. Nice cache. Fun.
Gratias pro cache Newbs_Clan

Tftc! Clever hide liked this cache very much.

Quick and easy find. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Geo/rge and I having started our journey home from Alice Springs to Moe, Victoria; after attending the Red Centre Experience.
We are enjoying all the sites and sounds that the caches are taking us to.

A quick find and the log was signed.

Returning from the Red Centre Experience, I grabbed a few geocaches on the way home.

This one was a quick grab and a fun find so got a FP.

Tice (Team Ice: laalaa, J&T., Hiltsu and kapeka) in Australia. Sun was shining and we had fun. Today we drove to South.
Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Finland.

Found it with TICE [Hiltsu, J&T, kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( South Australia and Northern Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

Team ICE on a two week geocaching trip in Australia. Our main target was the Red Centre Experience at Alice Springs but of course we did some caching in other places too. We drove from Adelaide to Alice Springs and then back. We saw lots of interesting and beutiful places like opal mines at Coober Pedy, Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta. Our rental travelled almost 6500km on gravel and tarmac roads. The weather was great, only on last day we got some rain.

All the caches logged as Team Ice, T-ice or Tice with kapeka, laalaa and Hiltsu. We had a great trip!

Today our trip continued from Port Augusta to Port Vincent. On a way we visited beautiful Weeroona Island, spend some time at Port Pirie, visited Moonta's himalayas and found many caches on the way.

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!

Our Spring Geocaching trip go this year to Australia...yes you read right, in Finland is spring now.
We visit in Australia (Adelaide, Murray Bridge, Port Augusta, Whyalla, Coober Pedy, Uluru, Alice Springs, Port Vincent and other place which are on the way those places) on April 05.-20.

We see many beautiful place where we visit and enjoy every cache what we found, so humble thanks every cache owner that you hiding this cache!

We (kapeka, laalaa, J&T. and Hiltsu) use common nickname Team ICE, T-ICE or TICE that we saves space in the logbook.

Thanks For To Cache!
Greetings from Finland

We targeted this one today on our way past due to the number of favourites it had. We were lucky enough to be able to drive to within 21 metres of GZ (we've got a borrowed car). We spotted the cache on approach. Never seen this type of camo before!

Hi there Honey Badger Gang.

We found your cache **"There was an old woman....."** at 12:42:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 15917).

We cached between Port Augusta and Wilmington today. On our trek we found a wide variety of container types. & ended up finding 11 caches with 0 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels. We awarded this cache a favourite point for the ingenious camo.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Very clever cache. I almost over looked it. Found with VCM on 23/3/17. Container and log book in good condition. Thanks for bringing us out here Newbs_clan TNLNSL #ttmug ??

Find #659 on trip around Australia with Willow the little black adventure cat. See vancatmeow.com for updates on where we are. 22 months on the road.

Yes very sneaky.. Thanks for the cache!

While I travelled around Australia,

I also found this nice cache.

Thanks for it!

(I didn't understand the story - because I'm german? - but I found it... good one...

FP from me!)

Driven past here with thoughts of stopping several times in the past, but never had the time [B)]. Today we did .
After reading the description, we thought this might take awhile , but managed to spot it within a couple of minutes [8]. TNLNSL.
Watched the train pass us again [:o)].
Thanks Newbs Clan.

Nice cache, quick find. First one for me after a few years away.

#1305 Fourth of ten finds on Day 14 of my South Australian geocaching road trip. Nice easy find after a short search. TFTC

TFTC geocaching with SwagHo. We are discovering Australia one cache at a time. Holidaying from Canada having great time

Hmmm. Interesting twist. Found with HennyGeo on Christmas Day. On holidays from Vancouver Island Canada . TFTC.

The cache wasn't quite what I imagined, but recognisable nonetheless. We had to search and complete the formalities with a rail gang very close by. I think we managed it, they probably wouldn't have taken any notice of the hide if they looked anyway! TFTC

Made a little detour on our way back to Wilmington to look for this one. [^] Drove right up to GZ and found the cache soon after. Cool cache container but the lid has split and the log was damp. We dried it as best we could then tried to place the split so it wouldn't get more water in it, but it does need replacing. [?]
Thanks for the cache Honey Badger Gang.

An interesting spot and sadly a lot of rubbish dumped in the vicinity. I forgot my pen and there wasn't one in the cache so I hope it is still OK to claim the find.

It has been a while since we have done some serious caching so we decided to head north with earthlight for a few days and meet up with The X Trailers in Port Augusta as they pass through there on their journey homeward bounds to QLD and cache along the way, we are now heading towards Whyalla to spend a couple of nights there grabbing caches along the way, a quick find here. TFTC

Did the short drive out here – interesting cache found - TFTC / TFTH / SL

Love this one

Found it. Nice one. Thanks

There was an old woman and she lived in really nice accommodation! Followed the track and arrived at her address. Signed the paperwork and left her to wait in peace for the next visitor. Thank you to the Honey Badger Gang for a more imaginative cache hide.

That's hilarious! Ended up the wrong side of the fence but that didn't slow us down. TFTC

Quick find TFTC

What a goodie haha

Cool cache thanks

Nice little hide tftc

Find #7713**

Day twenty of my across the Nullarbor, then to Perth via Denmark trip. Unfortunately I was now on my way back home after a great couple of weeks getting to Perth, I guess it had to happen at some point. I am now really close to the end, but not before attend the June Long Weekend events nearby in Wirrabara.

First cache of the day after a quick breakfast in Port Augusta. This was much further off the main road than expected, but a worthwile stop. A quite unique hide.

GoodLook very, very badly wanted to attend a special event, so who was I to tell her she was going overboard with geocaching [?]
Instead we jumped into Harry on Friday for 2 days of adventure, accompanied by Laighside Legends, in Whyalla where fishingmad was holding an event on Saturday to christen his new boat..... 6km out in the gulf[^]
We had a blast and it was huge fun showing GoodLook around parts of Whyalla that she hadn't seen before I think her logs say it all!
Today was a day of 3 DNFs and 30 finds

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

Apparently LL does not like drive bys but we women find them fun.... I'd rather be finding caches than living in this hide!
I know my nursery rhymes so I had an idea of what we were looking for. A fun hide

TNLN. SL. TFTC Honey Badger Gang

Found It!
Locus cache was determined to make this one a drive-by and she succeeded in that! A quick find after walking 5m from the car door! Unusual little cache hide to!
TFTC

The title made sense when we found the cache! Well done on a creative and fun hide!

The loud and lovely Locus Cache [:X], the very clever Laighside Legends and myself drove to Whyalla in Harry with the aim of this weekend being: to find a few caches, and attend the 5T boating/fishing & caching event.....AWESOME!! [^]

There was fun, laughter , silliness [:o)], tense moments, some creative driving (on road, off-road, dirt, sand, mud, water, tackling what could be described as a very steep and narrow bmx track...yep you heard me!) , breath holding , kindness [:X], tight time schedules, ladder climbing, feet getting wet, dolphins, a boat, fish, nanos, ammos, sistema of all sizes and a number of mint tins. Surprisingly few DNFs. And LOTS of other mad crazy conversations and adventures. Gotta love caching and all of the fun it can be!! [:o)] [^]

Thanks for the cache Newbs Clan

We found this cache on our Northern road trip, which was to celebrate my significant birthday. We saw some great places, met some wonderful people and slept through some 3 dog nights. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and finding caches made the trip more memorable – Thank you and ……Joy to the World!!
