Took me a little while of wandering around to locate this one. According to my GPS was about 6 m out. Thank you.

Found it! Quick find here along a rough track following some Roos. TFTC!

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. [:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Hoppin Cats [^]

replaced container since i put my finger through the lid picking it up. It is now a regular container with a peanut butter container inside of that. Saved the log book. quick find but mogni wasn't going to drive to this cache, not on that track so i had to walk.
Found with Mogni. Mogni wants to get to 20, 000 by the Rutherglen Mega in Victoria and make that event her 20, 000 th. So we went out to complete the " THE Sad Fisher series " and stay in Moonta for the night. We got 150 finds for the weekend even though we started out at lunch time Saturday. Any damaged caches found where replaced with a new container and any logs found full or almost full were replaced or a extra scroll added. The weather couldn't make up it's mind, over 30 on Saturday and it rained almost all of the way home.

Today I hate my hobby. No sign of this one for me just lots of prickle bushes TFTH

Log book is a bit wet. TFTC

TFTC. Day 12 of honeymoon caching trip. Off to Clare today for a wedding tomorrow, still caching on the way!

Happy caching and safe travels!

After setting our vans up in the caravan park with iluvtrekking we headed out to grab some nearby caches. If the 8 weeks we have been in SA, today is the first day we’ve actually felt warmth from the sun ??. Thanks for the hide BrettnJames

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

A beautiful sunny day to day, what a treat. We have enjoyed our time travelling the YP. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Thanks to all the COs for guiding us around your state.

A quick find here today. TFTC

The usual Wednesday Wander for members of Befuddled Puzzle solving group had us heading northwards once again in search of solved puzzles and anything else we might be passing. Today it was myself, S.A. Sewer Rats, Blackadders and Astro. [:o)] Meeting at the Rat's nest we headed today towards Kadina and around the top of Yorkes . There were the usual laughs[^], bad jokes, and some more DNF's to add to a list that should be shrinking and not increasing. [:(!]

I came from the other end of this little track. It was fun. Finding the cache was a bonus!
Time to take my protein pill and put my helmet on!

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again I will trying to get the other two this year. [^] Should be easy as I only have to get two multi caches in July from the lockdown and couldn't get out. [:o)] The other was DNF's that came down from over 50 to the low teens before blowing out again but I really want to see only single a single digit this year.

***Thanks Pixel_James for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

Today, the weather was forecast to be dismal with thunderstorms and a rain drenching! Consequently, gridge98 and I retreated to the more dry vicinity of Upper Yorke Peninsula. Other than a few drizzles, we had good weather. We visited Paskeville, Kadina, Moonta, Balgowan, Point Pearce, Maitland, and Arthurton, with highlights of the mining relics, 4WD-ing along the west coast beach, and finally dinner and heading around Maitland. A long day out and about, arriving home just after midnight.

Fun little tracks here. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks BrettnJames for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

This cache took a bit if circling around to find but once at the right tree the cache was found in good order

Today With the weather more promising on the yorke peninsula than in Adelaide, Davidwazza and I decided to head over and clean out as much as we could as well as doing quite a bit of beach 4wdriving.
In total 87 finds within 1 DNF for the day.
Thanks for the Cache

Last day in Moonta so we headed out into the wind to tackle a few more caches.

The track in was damp, but easily driveable .

Reversed out - didn't know if there was a place to turn around further down or not !
Thanks BrettnJames.

On the way to Millicent Mega and detour and signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hide

 

TFTC nice day for geocaching out and about with geo wife LynSteNet sorry for late post as problems with phone

TFTC
A quick drive by, the log was signed & dated then returned to the cache. This is another smiley face to add to our map as we make our way home to Clare.
The cache & log were in good condition& was placed back to its hiding place.

Hot and dry, stomped our feet to make sure no slithering visitors. On our way to Kadina. TFTC

Another nice quick find. Enjoying this series

The usual Wednesday for the animals of the Puzzled Puzzlers. Plans were made for the Rat, Adder and Starfish to head to the top of the peninsular is search of a few previous DNF's and to fill the maps of Kadina and Moonta with smiling faces. An early morning call though from the Starfish letting us know that he was not well, left only the Rat and Adder to enjoy the day.

A quick find stealthily hidden away for a couple of locals from the aero club who were pruning a few trees, or maybe they were gathering some firewood, who knows.

Thanks for the cache.

Quick and easy

After discovering a way to the cache that didn't involve a non-existent road on the owlmobile GPS, Owl was feeling brave and drove most of the way to the cache. Then had to reverse out, but the cache was located easily enough.

We had to goes at finding a way in to this one.
A much safer way was found.
Cache was quickly located. TFTC

Another find for Easter Saturday

Day Eleven of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are mooching around Moonta.
We checked out the piers for a possible snorkel (bit too windy and crowded today!), and did a few outlying caches.
Catchy tune, singing it all the time now. Although I do prefer astronaut Chris Hadfield's version done from the ISS.
No flyers out today.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11751. Day 11 of our SA holiday. We were taking things easier today. We had hoped for either some snorkelling or kayaking however it was so windy and being the long weekend it was so crowded at both jetties we decided to wait for another day. Drove around and collected a few caches.

We parked roadside and walked the short walk to GZ. Spied a stumpy who was alive but he was pretending to be dead. Soon found the container and added our names.

Thanks BrettnJames

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks BrettnJames for the cache.

Found it but bushes at first

Quick find on way to Maitland show. Tftc.

Day 2, camped at Paskeville bowling club.
Much cooler today, and we headed out to pick up some caches in a nearby town.

We found a good variety of hides & containers, some a little trickier to find than others.
Many thanks for placing this cache, BrettnJames, for us and others to find.

Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺.

Traveling from Yorketown to Kadina today, only 130km by the shortest route, but that's not how geocachers travel it took me all day! Lots of detours and dirt tracks explored, great scenery, and a lot of fun finding caches along the way.

Another good find here, many thanks for placing a cache for others to find [^]

Well hidden but easy find. Take the aerial view.

Found @10:52 #4450
While on a cache run around South Australia this was one of many caches found with icefoxy.

Did the pyramid serirs today on the drive down to Marion Bay awesome fun and series.

This was one of a few extra trads we stopped for the crazy zig zag driving across the region today.

TFTC BrettnJames

Found @ 10:50 10/8/15
Found this on the way to Marion Bay after staying in Port Wakefield. We decided to take a detour on our way down to the Yorke Penninsula to tackle the Pyramid series and picked up several additional caches along the way. A fairly quick find.

Another great find while on holiday in the area.

Thanks for the fun!

Found by Mary & David at 1630. Now we'll be humming that song for the rest of the evening! Found ok after a brief search. Our thanks to BrettnJames.

Decided to grab a few caches on a nice drive around Kadina and surrounds. We drove in to this one the long way on a very bumpy road then had to crawl under bushes to retrieve the cache.
Thanks for the cache BrettnJames.

One of a few this afternoon, easy find after crawling under a tree/bush or two to find a much clearer access on the other side! Thanks Brett n James

TFTC found with minion69 & elsie

Found with MooseHunter65 & Elsie

Quiet road down to it…

Ah memories
I spent many, many years flying all manner of radio controlled aircraft.
Helicopters, fixed wing planes and my personal favourite, the gliders
I did eventually graduate to full size gliders

But on a windy day there was not much miniature flying action happening

Ah well !!
TFTC.

On the way to Moonta caching along the way. Thanks for the cache .

On a caching assault of the Yorke Peninsular with alansee and Team Crackers over the last six days. We have found many caches which have proven enjoyable and sometimes challenging Alansee had worked diligently in planning routes we would take to minimize wasted kilometres driven to find the numbers we have been able to do. Most logs have been signed as MAC (micaparamedic, alansee and crackers)

Many thanks BrettnJames for placing this cache .

Found with micaparamedic and Team Crackers on our last day on the Peninsula. All was quiet here today save for a Singing Honeyeater singing away.

Today we are heading to the copper triangle to do some caches, we managed around 120 caches over the 2 days we spent here and we saw some fantastic scenery along the way, being the geowifes early childhood stomping grounds i was treated to a lot of history about quite a few of the areas and how much things have changed over time, this was a nice easy find. TFTC

Been saving this cache for my milestone 400th find as it is named in honor of one of my favourite singer musician and songwriters .. David Bowie and a gem of a track .. Space Oddity. Thanks for the cache ..BrettnJames . I think The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders of Mars is one of the best albums that came out in the 70s .

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

We are visiting friends in Kadina for a few days before heading off to Murray Bridge to attend the "[url=http://coord.info/GC3X0X4]Oz Mega 2014 Murray Bridge[/Url]" over Easter.
Today we started off by doing some of the outlying caches around Kadina. Some of the dirt roads were a bit challenging after the recent rains.
We managed to park rightnext to this cache.

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks BrettnJames for the hunt today.

Quick find on our 24 day trip to the YP. TFTC

Found the cache while up for a YP event for Dazzatron. Moneydork was driving, Mrs Flipper was trying to suss out cgeo and I was finding the caches - though I think Moneydork spotted this one first. Cheers BrettnJames!

Easily found once we overcame our initial curiosity.

Found after some crawling around. TFTC!

As big David Bowie fans from w-a-y back (well I guess that means we're just David Bowie fans as he's not what you'd call "big" nowadays), this was a must do when it popped up on our screens. Took us a little sorting out on the access as we'd totally missed the model aero club sign so we came "floating in a tin can" via the "back door". Loved the "pointer" - although we almost mistook it for the cache container. D was hunting out his trustry pliers to wreak minor destruction before the "hold on, I've found it" call came.

This is our 2nd full day of caching in the Moonta, Wallaroo & Kadina area.
This is one of the caches we found during the day.
Some good props attracted us to the area where the cache was.
Thanks BrettnJames

Having read the previous logs I went prepared and replaced the container.
It is in the same spot but is now a painted camo of similar size.
Found and signed.

This was very easy to find as it was out in the open. The box has broken clips so does not stay shut. We hid it a little but there is not much out here to hide it with. Will need attention before winter. Thanks for the cache.

found while muggle sister was having a driving lesson dad made her back all the way out
took nothing left nothing thanks for the cache brettnjames

We found this cache as part of our family YP camping trip. Over the 12 days we saw some fantastic scenes and did a heap of cool stuff. This really is a beautiful slice of our country. To top off an already wonderful trip, we also found 145 caches, 6 trackables, 1 pathtag and attended 1 event.

Thanks for the cache!!

Tftc dropped chain tb

Quick drive by tftc

Cant miss this one!

Managed to park my car next to the cache.

Thanks BrettnJames for the cache.

Got buzzed by a model aeroplane while I was getting this cache [^]. TNLN. Cheers

Take your cache notes and put your seatbelt on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, GPS is on
Check ignition and may Ground Zero be near to you

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five,
Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
I've nearly made a find
And the cachers want to know what cache is there
Now it's time to leave your little log with flair

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm heading to Ground Zero
And I'm walking in a most peculiar way
And the GPS screen looks very different today

For here
Am I looking for a multi cache
Deep behind the bushes
The shrubbery is green
And there's nothing to be seen

Though I'm past three thousand finds this year
I'm feeling like a newbie while I’m here
Though I think my GPS knows which way to go
My instinct tells me different and I know!

Ground Control to Major Tom
The cache is found, there's nothing wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Heading back from a great couple of days caching in Whyalla we were taking our time coming down so as to be able to attend the "YP Cachers Get Together #3" event tonight and also grab some caches in areas we do not normally travel. On previous caches the prolific sprimg growth has hampered our searching am
nd were happy to see it would not be a problem here. Unfortunatly for Major Tom we think we know why his circuits are dead and it may take some fixing. But at least the cache was still on earth and we were able to add our name to the log
Thanks again BrettnJames for a nice hide.

Found in the company of CP Wanderer on a cold windy wet and disagreeable day while blitzing the Yorke, we didn't get them all but we'll be back. Neat hide.

Slid down the backtrack to this one in the wind and rain!!! Thanks BrettnJames for the hide ....... and great to meet you that evening at the YP Cachers Pub Meal!!!!
