We had come to look for this cache yesterday but the atrocious weather resulted in us aborting the hunt. We returned today in better weather conditions. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a well hidden cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks bregor for the cache.

I ended up spending most of the day down south with [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) targeting new-ish caches around Willunga and McClaren Vale. The breakfast club event at Morphett Vale meant there was a reason to come this way, and the first part of the morning was a little sporadic before we did a few of the Cats and Dogs series, and then tried to clean out Willunga. A nice day out with just over 50 finds.

All good with this one today, and [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) had a previous unwritten DNF here. However today, we made a quick find. Thanks bregor.
 
03-Aug-19
A nice and easy find

Out for the day down south to solely go to the 3rd breakfast club event, with not much of a plan other than to just find caches Davidwazza and I set out to find cache around McLaren Vale/Wilunga area. A nice day out with just over 50 finds.

Greetings from Brisbane Big Grin. A weekend trip to Adelaide and surrounds was planned to see the sights and find some of the interesting, rarer and older geocaches you have hidden here.

Day 2: An early start was made to head into the Adelaide Hills before visiting McLaren Vale, Cape Jervis and then down to Victor Harbour. With a few hours of daylight left, I headed back into the city for a few more smilies, then climbed a hill to watch the sun dip below the horizon Big Grin.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache **bregor**. Discover our TB

My driver had already nabbed this one,
but it was a convenient spot to make a phone call & use the facilities.
Missed the cache initially as I didn't realise what size I was looking for.
Clever play on words bregor, love these awesome gum trees!

Today is Day 100 of my 100 day streak challenge WOOHOO! I picked up a few OTDs before heading home for a celebratory wine or two. Found this one on the way home. Why On Safari? I had expected to see a Zebra or too.

Today we combined a trip to Paxton for sliders, beers and music with geocaching. We picked up a few both before and after lunch and this was one of our finds. TFTC and for bringing us back to this great area what a ripper of an April day perfect for geocaching.

A sunny friday afternoon with a day of ment that a day cachng was in order. I was hoping to finish of the cats and dogs series I started last weekend and, hopefully, puck up a few more caches around McLaren Vale. Unfortunetly a 4 O'CLock dentist appointment ment that I had to finish early than I would have liked. Despite this a good caching day was had.

Went to McLaren Vale for the day and to look for caches. Did look for some but because of muggles and being aware of creep-crawlers gave up except for this one. Because it was very quiet could spend time looking without being disturbed by muggles etc. A good hide. TFTC breqor.

Having finished around Murray Bridge and Victor Harbour, time to head back north then east. Just finished 40Wink and Cats'n'dogs, and time to get some distance north to the Riverlands.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

Currently camped with our Caravan at Kuitpo, we have been weather watching all week. As we attended the dinner event in Adelaide last night it was a late night for us so a late start for today seemed in order Wink After lunch a plan was hatched and a quick loop away from our camp was undertaken. Lovely area with some great vistas and of course so many wineries. Razz

Of course no day can go by without getting a cache fix too. Wink

Today our plans are to cache Victor Harbour with earthlight & the x trailers picking up caches along the way, we didn't quite make it that far as we kept stopping to grab some of the many caches along the way, all told i managed 67 with no DNFs the weather held out for us today with slight drizzle towards the end of the night finally turning into heavier rain, gwen from the x trailers hit her milestone of 5000 finds tonight and it was smiles all round, it was a great day had be all and another trip is already being planned to get to Victor with no distractions on the way (yeah right lol) GZ had us at one tree but was unable to find it, we had only just said in the car on the way to this one how we haven't had any DNFs and this one looked like it was going to be the first for the day, expanded the search, saw 2 huntsman's near the cache hide and had cache in hand after they moved up the branch a bit.
