Old Oaks.... Glenburnie, South Australia, Australia
By jantoshys on 20-Mar-11. Waypoint GC2QHT7

Do to the beautiful trees in this area being removed this cache is being archived due to the area not being worth the visit any longer.

Sorry I'm a couple days late on this. This site is currently having some beautiful old elms cut down sadly. So this cache will be off line for a short time. Thanks

Found easily!

This cache will be kept, as all these “elm trees” are being removed next week.

The contractor has said they will leave this stump to hide.

Day 343 ( Wednesday 5th ) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Mt Gambier today. A total of 2 for the day and 6389 the trip. TFTC

??

Some good weather on the radar for today so we made a big list of caches that we had yet to tackle.

Good day was had with only 2 DNF's and NO RAIN. The sun even came out for the afternoon.

If it wasn't for the mill it would be a peaceful spot...old railway tracks make it interesting...log book is rather full and slightly dampish

Found in seconds

Easy!!

Good hiding spot, great scenery

Came driving along here and didn't realise there was not only old oaks but also old people. We wondered why the old peoples care home was so far out of town, maybe it's all the racket they make at night playing their records up loud, nothing worse than Perry Como up loud at 9 o'clock at night.
After deciding which side we were supposed to be on, yep we read the clue but our GPSR was tricking us.
Finally found the cache, nice size too.
Thanks jantoshys for placing this for us to find. TNLNSL

#1688 Day 4 of the Great Vic Bike Ride ( Mt Gambier to Portland - 109km). This was the big day of riding. Heading out of Mt Gambier took this little detour down this nice tree lined avenue. Took a couple of mins to find (it was after all only 7.05 am and the brain was still struggling a little). TNLNSL. TFTC jantoshys.

Quick find though not sure we were allowed down this road as said 'private property'... TFTC

What a great avenue. Quite enjoyed driving up this back street and they are such beautiful oak trees.
Admittedly, this cache had me searching for a good five minutes. Eventually found once I took a step back. The coordinates appear to be 7-10 m out, and should be on the other side of the road. The logbook is filling up, so a CO visit in the next few months to replace may need to be on the cards, thanks.

School Holiday time. I joined becca85, GemmaSistema, boo09, Ad & Luke for a roadtrip from Maryborough to Mount Gambier to the Glow worms and back again. So much fun. Thanks for the cache.

School Holiday time so we formed our Clarmensma family team and headed to Mount Gambier then home via glow worms for a mini road trip.
Lots of fun had on our trip. Sorry for late, generic logging. TFTC

School holidays yet again which means we form Team Clarmensma (myself, GemmaSistema, boo09, neisha07, AdamSistema & LukeSistema), choose a destination and off we go.
Mount Gambier was the chosen location this time with a 3 days trip, ending in a detour via the Otways to see some Glow worms. Lots of km traveled and caches found. A fun getaway yet again. TFTC

What a lovely avenue here!

School holidays means a geocaching road trip for Team Clarmensma (me, becca85 and our 4 geokids - AdamSistema, LukeSistema, neisha07 and boo09). This time we headed west to Mount Gambier for a few days of exploring. Over the 3 days we did lots of kilometres travelling from Ballarat/Maryborough across to the Mount and then back via the Otways. We really appreciate all the teams who put caches out for us to find as without you there would be no geocaching! So many many thanks!

Just returned from my holiday and catching up on the logs from my fantastic trip. Stopped by after a luncheon at the racecourse. App took me into the center of the road. Geosenses led me right to the cache which is in fine shape. Signed log. Thanks

found on the way home from Portland, slowly making my way home. gps would not settle here, so I first looked on the wrong side of the road.

Mount Gambier
This afternoon hubby took his bike out for a ride & cache along the rail trail.
Said they were quiet hard finds. He did enjoy the ride.
Thanks for placing this cache jantoshys

Portland to Mount Gambier
Today we were caching with Alansee & Liz and Bruce.
After setting up camp, we headed out to do some of the local caches, we visited many interesting locations & found some intersting hides.
Thanks for placing this cache jantoshys

Having arrived in Mt Gambier it was time to get out and do some caching. It was many caches ago that we were here last so plenty of new ones to find. This is a great location with the differing geological features and we enjoyed the varied hides. Nice to be in the company of Alansee and Di Morgan again. Thanks to jantoshys for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Down to pick up Mrs frog who was down for a couple of days catching up with friends, decided to go for a slight detour and pick up a few caches TFTC jantoshys

Picked the spot, but Lea argued that was 'after the rail line and on the right'. Guess it depends which way your coming from. Anyway, I was right, log signed and we were on our way Tftc

Found at 0847. Found while on a week long stop over in Mount Gambier. A quick fine. TFTC.

A quick find on our way out of town. TFTC

Day 3 of our trip to Mount Gambier and we all (Moneydork, Tounga, sushilord and I) had the whole day to play around the Mount, out to Nelson and in the forest too
All up, I had only 18 cache finds, as I'd been down to this area before, and 2 DNFs for the day.

Lovely trees and we guessed what the buildings nearby were used for.
Think I could live there in a few more years

TNLN. SL. TFTC jantoshys

A great spot this is with overarching trees over the road and cows off to the side! TFTC

Find number #17 on the 2nd morning of my 3 day weekend off with Matty.D.
After a BBQ event in Geelong, it was Mount Gambier bound for the two of us, for another BBQ, non caching related for the SA one but of course we had to grab caches there and back!
Appreciate you making us stop here to get a smiley.
There was not a soul in sight. I do enjoy a muggle free search =D
Nice quick easy discovery.

Found on our day trip geocaching in the south east corner of S.A. #17

TFTC. After Hockey presentations we decided to get some air and a cache. Found with manclan! TNLNSL.

found it ok

Geomum walked straight past it but geoson is getting very good at spotting caches now.

Drove to this cache this morning through a lovely avenue of oak trees. What a beautiful scene, I can see why so many photos would be taken here.
Found the cache and signed log then continued on.
Thanks for the cache jantoshys and for bringing me here.

Finally after a few attempts at this one we finally found it!! Extra stealth had to be used here today as there was a wedding a bit up the road taking photos but we were able to sneak in and sign the log without being noticed. Such a lovely place here.

Oops left pen at previous cache.

Quick find by Team Danden while we were waiting for a friend to finish work.

TFTC. Had a great afternoon caching with the family. Lovely few days of caching in the Mount.

Found on second visit, GPS put me on wrong side of road first trip. TFTC

Well hidden, TFTC!

Loved this place! nice little drive into the area and a well hidden cache. Its great how people are able to find camouflage to help with the cache hide, always a thrill when suddenly the cache pops out at you!!
Cheers guys!!

Visiting the Mount once again and this trip was mainly for a friendly game of Mountopoly. We had heard some good things about this series, and it didn't disappoint.

This one was on the way, so we decided to give it a go. The car navigator took us into the race course... ON MOUNT GAMBIER CUP DAY. OK, probably the worst time ever to head this direction so we turned back. Then we made another approach which turned out to be the right one. Mr M looked in exactly the right spot but didn't find it. Luckily Mrs M has better eyes. TFTC jantoshys.

TFTC

Found it it took a little bit of thinking though.TFTC

Well hidden - TFTC. What a beautiful spot, I will be back with a better camera and better dressed kids

Nice trickery hide
