By DJC3575 on 15-Mar-10. Waypoint GC252PV

My first solo caching trip. A long one down the entire length of the Sturt Highway. TFTC

quick and easy find, thanks for the cache!

The weather forecast for today wasn't that great but I thought I'd go for a drive and see what happened. As it turned out it was foggy on the way up but dry all morning. But it was cold.No problem with this one. After a short walk it was a nice quick find.TFTC

TFTC ??

Today out and about on 166 of 183 days to get my daily cacher Sapphire Using my Garmin Etrex 22X and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cacheTFTC

Found it! Pulled off the highway here and made the short wander to find the cache. More great views with the cars whizzing past not too far below. TFTC!

Thank you for this cache which gave me an excuse to stop and go for a walk.

Nice quick stop. Wonder where the Kidman trail goes? TFTC

Working my way back from Sedan after a FTF chase. For once I didnt have another car centimetres from my rear bumper, and was finally given a chance to pull off safely and make a find here. The log book is suffering a bit here for lack of a watertight bag. Apologies for not having a spare on me. Great views.Thanks for this hide DJC3575.

Been passed here a million times, but usually stop in Turo, so no need to stop here. With no van on the back and wanting to do one last cache before home, this was perfect.Its amazing what hidden gems you find, while caching, not only the cache!!A great finish to our 500 consecutive days of Geocaching ( yep that why we are at here at 35 degrees!!)I think we also may have hit a personal best daily number.Thanks for help us achieve that.

Interesting location. Found in the long grass. Thanks for the hide.

Traveling between the Riverland and the Barossa with BettyBoo3747 and the geodoggies.
A little bit of a convoluted route picking up a few unfinished caches and ones needed for challenges.
Now we can say we have walked a section of the Kidman trail!
Nice views from here.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19793. Day 6 of our holiday and today Robmc, the geo-doggies and I are leaving Renmark and making our way to Tanunda for a week. Started with some caches in Berri and picked up a few more along the way.

Ploughed our way through the long grass before finding the cache. Admired the views and then walked back along the narrow path. That was better.

Thanks DJC3575

Stopped to find this cache on the way to Adelaide. Great place to get out look around and stretch our legs. Catkids found after a short search. TNLN TFTC #1422

Today I headed out for an afternoon of caching in the Barossa. It was a lovely afternoon and enjoyed seeing all the autumnal leaves on the vines very pretty.
Found a nice variety of caches and still so many to come back for.
Found 29 with one dnf so was pretty happy with my effort .
Quick find and sign here after a dodgy traffic manoeuvre that I had over committed to. Nice view here TFTC

Thanks for the cache DJC. Great views

Found by the Aussie branch of Dobie's Pride while waiting for the night shift to start on the road resurfacing project. TFTC! Great view indeed.

All good and yes the view is great. TFTC

TFTC. Lovely view of clouds on a wintry but sunny day.

a quick find & the log was signed and dated then returned to its hiding place.
Out & about with geo hubby Animal62 & BulletMuffin91 collecting as many smiley faces as possible to fill up our maps

Thx, great views!

TFTC. A nice little cache with an absolute hell of a view. Probably one of the last ones of the day for us.

Day 1 Adelaide to Monash

Found with mogni on route to monash. It turns out that we can't get in to the B abd B till 4 pm, so killing time finding caches on route heading to monash and leaving a trail of smileys behind us. quick find.

Myself and mogni came up to the river land to go to MacCabe Corner and find the virtual there plus drive the mail trail in murray sunset national park plus the 4 x 4 track in cooltong national park. The original idea was to go through to mildura but with weather 37, 45 , 37 degrees fore cast we changed plans and stayed in monash instead. Any caches that where found damaged where replaced and any logbooks found full or with 2 or 3 spaces left where replaced.

Nice quick find while driving to Blanchetown with the B*DS.

While camping near Nuriootpa for a couple of days, we decided to do an assortment of caches around the area today with ilook4geo. Some were a bit more difficult to spot than others, but we ended up with a good haul of caches to add to our tally. Each log was initialed and all was put back as found before we moved on. This was one of the caches we found.
Thank you to DJC3575 for placing this cache with beautiful views.

Staying near Nuriootpa and doing some caching around the district with goingplaces2. It was a fun day and we found a good number of caches. All logs were signed, then replaced. Job done! Time to get moving. TFTC.

A last minute decision to visit Snappy Tom Cats in Nuriootpa and grab a few DNF's and others that have been teasing us on the map for some time. the Rat and Adder met up with Brisal5 who needed to do some maintenance around the area.

With the Adder the only one needing a smiley on this one a quick stop, short walk and the cache was in hand. Signed and replaced while admiring the view. TFTC

Out & about doing a maintenance run with SnappyTomCats on this lovely winters day...
I picked up a few extra along the way...
I raced across for a quick find here...

On the way home from Blanchetown this afternoon I decided to do some caching along the way, then catch up with Davidwazza and GeckoJ for one final cache before heading home.
Pulled into the rest stop for a nice view and easy find. TFTC

Hi there DJC3575.

We found your cache **"Kidman views"** at 11:34:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 22216).

Our plan for the day was to start off with the "H70BDMRSG" series, but our direct route appeared to traverse private property, so we took a rather round about way to get them done.. It seems like we have just been attempting "birthday" caches lately because we have done 40, 50 60 and now 70.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route. We found 19 caches today & DNF'd 5. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic travels around Australia.

It's no wonder that our grandkids have lost interest in caching, there's no thrill for them any more. The trend of placing small caches without swaps is increasing, especially in a spots such as this - where a much larger container could have been placed. Doesn't anyone want to place large, kid friendly caches any more. [?]

**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:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

PS: Following on from recent comments received; our log or stamp is not necessarily placed in the last spot. If we find a blank spot in the book when we open the log - that is where it goes.

Adelaide trip March 2019. Day 2. Today took me all the way from Balranald to Adelaide via Mildura and Barmara. This rest area looks a bit neglected, but there was a cache so it was well worth stopping.

Thanks.

Great spot. Easy find. Still a micro cache. No swaps (they wouldn't fit!)

This little cache has a big view.
TFTC.

This year our plan was to spend our "summer vaction" in Australia.
So arriving on the 7th November we took over the campervan and started our tour from Sydney to Adelaine. On that tour we found a lot of caches. This was one of it.

Thank's a lot to all CO's that placed and maintain the caches here in "Down Under".

Thanks very much for the placement.

Found this cache really good spot

My gosh it was buried in the pipe. Well hidden thanks

Found on the way home this evening after a trip to Mildura. Didn't realise the Kidman trail goes through here, very interesting. The cache was pretty well buried but Geomum made a recovery! Thanks for the hunt this evening:)

Lovely views again.
Thanks for the quick maintenance
TFTC DJC3575+KKM

Slight disappointment coming up empty on first attempt but found second time around. I must say im very impressed at the prompt maintenance done on this cache, after reporting missing last time i was here it was replaced that day. I wish more Co's were that prompt at repairs big thankyou to DJC3575+KKM for this cache.

Agree with Jem
Thanks for maintaining, will drop in on next trip to Adelaide, prob Easter.

Had a good look but only found pvc pipe that was laying on ground

Cache & logbook replaced.

Signs of a might have been hidey hole but no sign of a cache anywhere.
Some rubbish around, but also signs of cleanups.
May have been cleaned up.
Thanks for the challenge DJC3575+KKM
will place on the watch list and return asap!

See DNF log.
Hasn't been spotted in quite a while.
Signs of rubbish, and clean ups at this nice lookout area.
Also what may have been part of a neat hide, but nothing there.
Needs a maintenance check or archive please.

Sneaky hide

Windy today but that wasn't going to stop miss 6 who had this in hand rather quickly all by herself TFTC

Heading on our way home, quick stop in to do this one. TFTC

Great views and nice hide!

Lots of bugs and creepy crawlies around this cache. Very clever hide.TFTC

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Moving day today, with the car fixed and the 'cheap' deal over at the caravan park it's back to free camping for a while.

After moving the caravan and setting up a cooking fire so we could have jaffles for lunch it was time to find some geocaches.

With rain threatening we decided to tackle a few caches on wet weather only roads as it may be the last chance we get in this area. [^] What a day we had, scenic views, historical points of interest, great camoed caches! Just the best that geocaching has to offer.

TFTC and helping us keep our streak alive.164 days continuous geocaching today!

Tftc!

Tftc beautiful spot though it was full of someone's rubbish

Stopped here to stretch the legs with sesblocker. Great views from GZ. Took Winter Geocoin. TFTC!

A nice quick find with The Neighbs. TFTC!

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.

Found this cache while In SA to attend Oz Mega. Travelled today from Karoonda to Berri. Enjoyed the variety of caches along the way and the many novel hides. Thanks for your cache DJC3575+KKM

We found your cache today DJC3575+KKM, we were travelling from Berri to Nuriootpa on another leg of our South Australian adventure. The weather was perfect for caching and we saw some wonderful countryside along the way. Thanks for the hunt.
