Interesting hide TFTC

Found it! A lazy morning today after a full day caching yesterday and a late night drive out to get some photos of the Aurora. Finally decided to get out of the house about 2pm, chose to knock off this fairly local series. Quick find, nice little hide here! TFTC!

Left home early on this morning to cross off a few more caches in the north. Quick find. TFTC

Out and about caching early this morning before it gets really hot. Found the cache and signed the log. TFTC OxFireSafe

Staying at Andrews Farm and came up early this morning while it is cooler to visit the Prime Ministers and some other caches around about. Thanks to the COs.

Found with the Nelson crew on our way back to Adelaide for the mega. Nearly there now just wasting a bit of time now so we don't hit rush hour traffic.

We are now making our way back to Adelaide for the leap day mega tomorrow. Sidewaze, Paddle Chick, Bullertrout, IsisNZ and Nanzie are signing our logs as SPBINZ or sometimes SPINZ as BT has done a large number of caches on the Peninsula. TFTC OzFiresafe#16169

Caching as team SPBINZ: Sidewaze, Paddlechick, Bullertrout, IsisNZ and Nanzie from Nelson, New Zealand. Having had one record day caching (430+) and then another quite full on (200+) were a bit more laid back today, taking our time for a good look around, several AdLabs some earthcaches and generally a more laid-back sort of a day.People sometimes ask how you can see much of the scenery when youre so busy caching but I find I see more than the average tourist who keeps to tar-sealed roads and drives from town to town. So, another awesome day exploring rural and small town South Australia. And learning a bit of history along the way.Greetings from the Shaky Isles across the ditch and many thanks for the hide.

Found as part of the SPBINZ team (Sidewaze, Paddle Chick, Bullertrout, IsisNZ, and Nanzie). Today we've taken a slower and more scenic route along the coast as we head back towards Adelaide for the main event tomorrow and trying to target caches Bullertrout hasn't found on his previous visits. We have just completed the big 6 0 on the map and have decided to sign off a few of this series before we finish for the day. At least I'm familiar with this list of names unlike the PSA series where I don't think I knew any. TFTC OzFiresafe and kia ora from Aotearoa/New Zealand # 21,764**tepoti/Dunedin is the place to be 26-27 October, 2024 for GCA7ZHD - Geo Toroa Mega!

Decided to get out and about to collect some more caches again this Good Friday, while making a journey up to the Yorke Peninsula to perform maintenance on some of my existing caches and hide a new one as well.

The Australian Prime Ministers trail and It's a Small World are on the radar today, including some other caches hidden around the towns of Mallala, Long Plains, Wallaroo, Tickera, Alford, Parham and Webb Beach.

A total of 77 finds and 7 DNFs for the day.

A little bit of bloodshed but that's all just part of what makes geocaching fun.

I started the Australian Prime Ministers trail back in mid-2021.

Today I returned for caches I didn't get around to last time or couldn't find.

Easy find here today,

Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Signed as "P.Goldy"

Happy Easter to all Geocachers.

Thanks to OzFiresafe for this cache.

Out & about caching in the area. Rough under foot. Quick find. TFTC

Thanks firesafe for the cache and the series. A successful day of caching in the hot conditions. Interesting how things change when an accountant takes charge.

Today I had a number in mind, a required number of caches for 2021 and for many reasons, I was a little behind as December rolled through. Today was the last day to bolster some numbers for 2021 but the weather was not on the same page. So I rose early and hit the trail by 6.30am to avoid some of the heat. With a few of the OTD’s missing from the set, and several others that didn’t want to play ball, I ended up at 2.30pm with 9 more to get. Balaklava was not forthcoming so went south to Owen to complete the haul. A great day out, with the temperature ranging between 40 and 45 degrees from 11am onwards. Thanks to all the CO’s for their placement and ongoing maintenance.

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. TFTC OzFiresafe

Out on a maintenance run today - All OK for this one. Good to go.

not to be!

Yeah baby I feel it

Today, with the Adelaide COVID-19 lockdown lifted, I decided to head north and target the *Australian Prime Ministers* (APM) Trail, and the *It's a Small World* 60 series. I swung by St Kilda initially, reminiscing about the playground and mangroves I once visited as a child, and then continued to snake my way north following the Prime Ministers, and visiting Mallala in doing so. It drizzled on/off for most of the day, and as the rain started to set in as the sun set, I decided to take that opportunity to head home.

I commenced this APM trail starting at our well known first Prime Minister, Edmund Barton, at 13:45 hr, and from taking a few detours, ended up finishing at John Howard at 19:15 hr. I did notice that it wasn't the usual "power trail" given the distances in between caches, but perhaps I was also a little thankful at driving this series solo, and having a good rest in between. This geocache was found quickly, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Firesafe/OzFiresafe for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Cool

Day 182 (Thursday 27th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Tailem bend today. A total of 8 for the day and 3488 for the trip. TFTC.

TFTC. SL. While on holiday from the NT. Thanks to firesafe, out for a history lesson today with local caching team Pegasus46.

It was a lovely sunny autumn day so with our N T cachers Peerages we decided to do the Prime Ministers series which we thought appropriate as by tomorrow a new one may need to be added after we have all voted.
Thanks a good series

What - no bananas!

We soon spotted this nicely hidden cache on arriving at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and for the interesting information on the cache page. Greetings from Zimbabwe

An afternoon caching expedition had been organised with Michells&hound to tackle the February OTD series and the Prime Ministers series along with a few others along the way. [^]

M&h had also targeted three multis which we added to the list, and we also found. We had a successful afternoon (4 finds and 2 DNF's) which ended up extending into the early evening, but hey when you are on a roll... It was a beautiful day for caching, warm with a breeze which turned into quite a cool wind at the end of our day so it didn't bother us too much. Saw lots of wildlife with one huge paddock containing hundreds of goats running around...I had never seen so many goats in one place.

We had finished the OTD series, grabbed a few multis and a couple of random trads on the way to the Prime Ministers. We started with the last one, wondering how long before the next cache will need placing. [?][?] We didn't know how far we would get but in the end we completed them all with no DNF's. It was a fun series with long gaps between caches and a few different containers.

Thanks for the cache and series OzFiresafe.

After lots of dramas at work it was nice to finish at lunch time and head out on an afternoon caching expedition with JJ52.
The plan was to tackle the February OTD series and the Prime Minister series.
I also requested the add in of 3 multis as I am trying to qualify for the SFE multi challenge which is still a long way off.
We had a great afternoon/early evening out finding over 60 caches and only 2 dnf which both appeared to be missing.
The weather was glorious, not too hot and made for a super afternoon.
Thankfully no snakes were seen but we were vigilant as it seemed like perfect snakey weather. Plenty of birds were seen as well as a rabbit, lizard and many many goats and other farming animals.
TFTC and this series we found all. Really enjoyed this series was nice to have some big gaps between them and enjoyed the rural dirt road drive.

Today was a prime day to minister to the needs of these geocachers, so along with ilook4geo the hunt was on to collect most of the caches placed in honour of our Australian Prime Ministers to the current one. Each cache was a nice easy find, all log books had two more names duly noted and each was then hidden again to await the next finder.
Thank you to OzFiresafe for placing all these caches and for the cache pages with some history about each Prime Minister.

Found this series while out caching with goingplaces2. Interesting series and page notes. It took us on a tour of the countryside with some different sights. We had a fun and successful day. TFTC.

Left the Yorke Pen, today for another years visit. reasonably successful on the fishing line, returning to Gawler before heading up to the OZ Mega. What a winds, hot day today picking up the remainder of the APM series commenced a couple of years ago with scroungers54. caches all good

The weather was average but the day was enjoyable as there were caches to find

Thanks so much for the series OzFiresafe! [^]

After completing the unicorn, I had to drop Davidwazza off over near this series. I completed some off these back at the start of the month. Back to complete another part with only a few left now to find. TFTC

He's gone troppo, Mr Speaker. Tftc.

Found with FUF009.
Day 6 of an 8 day epic tour of SA.
Based in Tarlee, today's goal was some OTD caches and the APM series.
Various side tracks to get other finds along the way were added in as they presented themselves.
The OTD series are so different in style of hide so that kept things interesting.
The APM was a long drive for few caches which we didnt really enjoy but it was heading in the direction of our accommodation so was convenient.
Again, I was impressed by the diversity of the SA countryside and it was a pleasant day.
204 caches found today. Apologies for the generic log.
All caches were found in good condition unless mentioned at the start of my log.

Had a day off work Friday decided that I would do some more caching so planned to make a serious dent in this neck of the woods, I must say that it wasn't a to bad of a day only missed a couple but there were some caches that may need to be checked as these were unsignable due to water damage or logs full. Big thankyou to all cache owners who maintained their caches it makes it worth the trip and a good day all round.

Couldn't find it at all. Look for awhile but no luck. Maybe gone now.

Looked for awhile and couldn't find it, even look at the images and there was nothing with the tree in the images

For safety reasons, visitors should keep clear of all areas that have been affected. See updates at http://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/site/warnings_and_incidents/pinery_fire_information.jsp

A lovely day to go caching so we decided to shake the NSW/Qld dust out of the geo-bag and find some good old "Croweater" caches A good day with 38 smileys. The only frustration was the merry-go-round called the GPS, but it did not bet us!.
