This one was so difficult!! Almost missed it. Someone mentioned an arrow. We found two that weren't the correct one. My husband is very good at finding caches, luckily!

Thanks Tk2 for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #8310 on 25/4/2023 at 8:27 am.

A day trip north to collect some smilies. Some caching therapy after a solid month of designing puzzles and placing caches. I can’t pass the opportunity of good weather and a mid week public holiday. Respect to the fallen.

Caches were in good condition unless stated otherwise. I signed the log myself with my stamp or with pen and returned as found. Maintenance was performed if required to make sure caches were in good condition for the next finder. Thanks for the fun.

cache is still there.
 
03-Oct-22
I did not find the geocache, I have a feeling that it has been stolen or been misplaced as I looked in around and in the shelter and it’s surroundings and did not find anything. I recommend the owner of this geocache to come to the site and retrieve and re-hide this geocache.
 
02-Oct-22
This pineapple is taking advantage of the long weekend by taking a day trip out north. I didn't get as far north as I wanted to as I slept in, but still had a good day.

I got out to Lochiel and Kadina for a few caches. As well as fishing for some near Kulpara.

I stopped here to eat lunch, turns out this cache was here too!

A quick find.

A familiar building nearby.

Cache retrieved and signed.

Thanks Tk2 for this cache.

This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1774 on the 2nd of October 2022.

Adelaide to Perth Roadtrip.
Day One: Adelaide to Iron Knob.
Weather: perfect.

I picked up the campervan in Brooklyn Park, picked up a prescription in Torrensville, picked up a TB from OZGrumpy in Mile End, and then straight onto Highway 1. This is the first stop. I hadn’t even gotten out of the van and a concerned local asked if I was lost. Cache was in the second structure checked. Thanks for the hide Tk2.
 
03-Jul-22
A caching day was planned with allister w and Michells&hound and a nice list was made visiting Lochiel, Snowtown, Bute, Kadina and Moonta. [^]

It was an early start on a cold winter day. The temperature hovered around 8-11 degrees for most of the day but that didn't hinder us, at least it was dry. We had a fun day driving some great country roads and tracks and found a great assortment of caches in some pretty cool spots. Cool

A quick find by Allister. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache Tk2. Smile
 
03-Jul-22
A fun day with JJ52 and Michells&hound going from Adelaide to Lochiel, Snowtown, Bute and Moonta finding caches along the way. My main role was to drive and find caches. TFTC Tk2
 
03-Jul-22
Today was a mighty fine day. A Jams crew day albeit depleted today it was just Allisterw, JJ52 and I so we logged using our individual caching names rather than as Jams.
We made a canny plan to head up the highway to Lochiel, Snowtown and then via Bute to Moonta. Lots of caches found including several ‘bastard’ nanos (eagle eyed Allister was the nano king today). Lots of historical buildings, a monster, the beach, a wedding, a bomb, tractors and many ‘welcome to’ signs. Lots of ‘bastard’ cacti but we seemed to win more of those than we lost which was a definite bonus. Only one dnf for the day.
70 caches visited and Allisterw top scored with 69 finds.
It was very chilly all day but no rain so no complaints.
Thanks to the many COs for contributing to our day out and big thanks to my pals for the laughs and Allí for driving.
Another one found by Allister TFTC Tk2

Passing by but took a little while to find. The hint makes sense and it was in an obvious place after I thought about it a little more.
Thanks for the stop.

Plastic bag added for log. The installation of this cache does not necessarily require a lid as it is fully weather protected and dry. All good, no further maintenance required. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC Tk2
Find #7207 at 15:59.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.
 
23-Nov-21
It's taken me two years to return and have another go at this cache. Don't search the inside of the shelter shed and bump your head on the rafters like I did. OUCH! The container is missing a lid. Sooner or later the rain will get to it and ruin the log. Thanks, Tk2.
 
19-Nov-21
A really nice area which would have been great in it's hey-day. The clue helped a lot as there were a few hiding spots where this could have been and it wasn't in the obvious place. TNLN. Cheers.

We looked for this cache earlier this year but were unsuccessful. We learnt soon after that the cache was missing and was replaced. Today we returned as we headed from Adelaide to the Eyre Peninsula. This time accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Tk2 for the cache and for your maintenance.
