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 here! TFTC!

Staying at Balaklava cp. Last day so out getting a few more caches. Thank you everyone for putting them out for our enjoyment. Tftc

Thanks for bringing us out this way. 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#16167

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 # 21,762**tepoti/Dunedin is the place to be 26-27 October, 2024 for GCA7ZHD - Geo Toroa Mega! Please come and join in the fun, find heaps of caches and experience some wonderful Southern hospitality.**

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 with SPINBNZ Team Another nice easy find on this great trail thanks for placing this trail for us to find .I am starting to remember these Prime Minsters now firesafe

TFTC OzFiresafe your cache APM -- 2007-2010, 2013-2013 -- Kevin Rudd that we found today. Day 4 in Mallala as we wait for the Leap Day Mega. After a solo trip around town we headed off to find the Australian Prime Minister series from Mallala toward Owen. We needed to replace a couple of containers as they were damaged beyond use. Find Count: 18413

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.

Didn’t mind Rudd as Prime Minister. Quick find. TFTC

Ruddy, where would we be without Ruddy! there would be a whole lot less fun comments I guess. Thanks firesafe for the cache and the series. A successful day of caching in the hot conditions.

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.

Out on caching adventures on the APM Series with Wollaston.

Thanks to the many hands and minds taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your special part of the world

Thanks OzFiresafe for the hide.

Out on a maintenance run today - a new log sheet for this one. Good to go.

Planning a drive to Hamley Bridge to surprise an old bud (yes, not that far I know, but add time from Happy Valley!!) .. and I'm sure there will be a few caches on the way!!! Let's add this one... and continue on through to Owen for the night in the pub. tftc

Dusty caching day! TFTC for the find, FireSafe!
Not that burnt out stump, that one!

A quick find while taking a break in the area.TFTC

Headed North with LiB on this perfect caching day...Port Parham, Dublin, Mallala, Balaklava, Port Wakefield and many off the beaten track spots in between...we stayed out well into the early hours of the morning as the night was warm and well lit...
Just picked up a few PM's on the way...the rest will have to wait...

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel. Today we arrived in Hamley Bridge.

Using geocaching as our tour guide, we set out today on a round trip from Hamley Bridge to Owen and return via Barabba.

We started the APM series on our drive from Balaklava to Mallala, and returned today to cache a few more.

Good old Kevin 07 - wonder what he is up to these days. Thanks OzFiresafe

Loved my krudd money! TFTC

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

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

Quick find.

Easy find. TFTC Jones Family

We found this one soon enough 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

A day of epic geocaching that became my most number of caches in a day of 101. I was geocaching with gridge98 as we found half the Australian Prime Minister series, two OTD series for February and April, a small cluster of recently published Watervale caches that were FTFs, a selection of riding our bikes down the Rattler Trail, and finally driving finding caches back to home.

A good day out caching in and around the are Clare valley area, a total of 101 cache with a few way point issues for some of the multis. Our main target was the near by OTD series.

Along the way we picked up some of the APM series which were mostly easy finds TFTC

SPOILER: photo of hide attached...

Thanks to Goodlook for replacing this cache for me

REPLACED THIS ONE FOR THE CO - please note it is a mint tin, in the hollow of a burn out tree trunk - there is new growth around it. - a bit higher than waist height (I think!)

We stamped the logs today with our "GoodLook & Feathertop" stamp and on occasions "Fabulous Randoms".

A spontaneous trip to the YP and on our way home we stopped to grab these few Prime Minister Series that Sal hadn't got....I will need to come back another day to grab the rest.

Thanks so much for placing and maintaining the cache OzFiresafe! [^]

After a lot of searching this one could not be found an I would say it is missing.

As log before

Omg omg couldn't find it

Kevin Rudd...oh dear. That was disappointing. Not the cache - the two times he was PM. Tftc.

Found with FUF009.
Day 6 of an 8 day epic tour of SA.
Based in Tarlee, today's goal was some OTD caches, the 60 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.

Find # 6367

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.

Thank god for the wire. Found with superman_22

New container & logbook - now a micro

This cache has been temporarily disabled due to a recent fire in the area. An extensive area of farmland has been burnt out and poses a potential risk to public safety. 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!.
The new container is appropriate for Mr Rudd.

Who could forget Kevin 07
He must of felt much satisfaction the day he bumped Julia Gillard out of office, but he wasn't there for too long

Repaired this " Kevin" cache the next pm cache for Julia was fine. Julia was the pm that sent the letter previous log comment got partially mixed up.

Found it broken pieces everywhere. Replaced with skittles container and some paper. Had the chance to meet this pm at an awards night and she even sent a lovely letter about a "ranga chicken" to my son.
