The sky was quite cloudy today which tended to flatten the light so the cliffs didn't look anything like the photo in the description which is a shame. There's also some great views from "Heading's Cliff Lookout" north of Paringa near Renmark in SA but that too, is best seen on sunny days!TFTC
Very pretty area and nice easy find on our sightseeing tour of the area.TFTC TNLN
Here at the wrong time of the day for best effects of a he cliffs but nether the less it is still a good view. Had to wait for muggles to leave before signing duties were. Tftc doheng
#4318 First of eight quick finds in freezing rainy weather while travelling from Mildura to St. Arnaud. TFTC
Found with muggle husband while looking for somewhere nice to eat lunch. Definitely not eating lunch here but found the cache a little away from GZ but definitely in the obvious spot where I would place it. TFTC TNLNSL
An interesting view of the Murray and the red cliffs the town is named for before heading round to the official lookout.Moving day today, but only a very short drive from Mildura to Red Cliffs. Then a bit of a look round town. Geocaches took us to Big Lizzie and the Red Cliffs Lookout.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache doheng.**SKI Pair****
A nice quick find. Such a beautiful view right across the road from visiting friends
Found it, Wow what a view. Found whilst floating on the river with Vinesta And Adinacache
Stopped nearby for a walk along the shore below the cliffs Thanx for the Adventure doheng Stay Dirty 20852:27pmSmokeyBearOG
Went to the lookout on our way through and found there was a cache nearby. The views from GZ are better than the lookout. Tftc
A great spot to look at the views, cache was a little tricky but soon had in hand. Tftc
Nice spot, took a while for the GPS to settle down but once it did was pretty close on. TFTC
Southern Autumn adventure Day 51. Mid North section of SA trip Day 22. Mount Barker 2. Today and yesterday and tomorrow are really transitional to me getting to Mildura in time to do the Paddle Steamer with friends from Canberra. I journeyed to a spot about 35km South of Loxton near a location called Veitch via Murray Bridge an Karoonda for lunch. Before I left I spent an hour or so near Mount Barker having a final go at a few multis with difficulties and other local caches. The rain started while I was out and did not let up for the rest of the day. As I traveled, I did manage to stop a few times, getting wetter all the time, but I was keen to find some caches. At the final stop for the day I found a remote patch of roadside rest area and sat quietly till it was time to leave the next day.
I had to go and check out the cliffs while I was here, and if there is a cache, don;t you have to find it ?
Thanks for the cache doheng

The younger found this one really quickly. SL TFTC Brilliant colours and view. Heading to the ACT
I've been here a few times trying to find this one and no luck...read some past logs and that helped today. My gps put it at 6m away from listed coords.
Lovely view, the river is getting high! Tftc

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure, yes I know we have wandered over the border. Never mind, It is a wonderful day and we have joined forces with FelixII so we are off to see what we can find. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.
Full time nomads visiting Mildura to finally tackle the Paddle Steamer with iluvtrekking. Of course we have to stop in town and find some caches here before we go 'bush'. Great weather this morning and a beautiful day for caching. [:X][8)]

Could not find and saw many post about it no longer being around and in accessible.
A little disappointing as the container is inaccessible as it has fallen to the bottom of hiding place and can't be retrieved. There's possibly a second one but the hiding spot is now full of sticks and is also inaccessible. Great view to be seen all the same.
The view was great but the area seemed to lack a cache. This one just left me with the red face
Found two place that it may have been but it is missing. Check pass logs and saw what it kinda looked like.
Found on a trip from Adelaide to the Mildura area for a few days of caching with Team Waldron, Brisal5 and FeatherWaite. Our main targets were the Paddle Steamer and Turtle geoart series' but we also took the opportunity to seek out a few other caches along the way.
We were fortunate with the weather. After a burst of very hot days, we timed our trip nicely to coincide with the milder conditions before the next hot spell. That helped to make both the caching and the camping along the Murray River and in the Murray-Sunset National Park very pleasant.
We ended up finding all the caches that we had targeted. Most were in good order. Some of the puzzles were quite challenging and there were some very novel and entertaining multi's. Some certainly took a bit of finding and there were many very clever and/or tricky caches and containers that were a credit to the cache owners’ ingenuity.
The cache container here had come unstuck and fallen down inside somewhere we were unable to retrieve it. We have taken a photo to prove our find if required (but don't want to post it here lest we compromise the hiding spot). The hide is in need of repair.
It would have been good to have had another day or two to complete the remaining caches in the area, but I’m sure we’ll be back.
Thanks to all the cache owners for the hides.

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the Mildura area for a few days of caching with Brisal5, e.gregory1 and Team Waldron with the main aim to complete the Paddle Steamer and Turtle GeoArt series but also to find other caches along the way. We camped out on the banks of the Murray River near Mildura on the first night, at Rocket Lake campground in the Murray-Sunset National Park on the second night, then back to the banks of the Murray River near Merbein on the last night. We signed the logs as B.E.F.W. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the cache!
We found it. We found it. Yep, we found two caches here. We put both logs into one container and removed what appeared to be the most recent. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

Day five of a camping road trip with Papi4506, Geoturtle37 & RoamingHowie.
With NSW now out of bounds, today we focussed on Mildura.
After finding two caches here, both were merged into the original.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, doheng

Continuing my first caching adventure with OzHockeyChick, Papi4506 & GeoTurtle37 and a mega adventure it is! Last day in town nabbing a few caches.
Lots of water here! This cache appears to be a replacement. Upon further investigation we located the original cache location and some macgyvering by rob recovered the original. Reset the original with both logs. The replacement has been removed.
Thanks doheng for placing the hide!

Well we sort of found it - pic shows what’s left, someone’s muggled it - from what we could see the other half has been taken off and dropped to the bottom. Anyway as we found its hide, am logging a smiley. TFTC in an interesting place. For anyone else visiting Sunraysia the board walk in the brochures is no longer there.
Walking up to GZ we quickly realised where the cache would be from seeing geos like this before. Geoboy ran off trying each and every one of them while I stuck to the GPS and reached ground zero. All in good condition. Tftc
Cat-sitting in Mildura we had plenty of time to explore the area at our leisure. Today we headed out to Red Cliffs for dinner at the club, and then wend looking for the "Red Cliffs" on our way home. Grabbed this cache and then went and had a closer look at the bloody huge pipes nearby. Thanks for the find doheng
Whilst on a day trip from our van parked at Hattah to check out Big Lizzie and do some caching.Great view. TFTC
Visited the Christmas store in Red Cliffs and then to some nearby caches on the way to Woodsie’s.
Found with fluffymaxi and JayG10.

Took a bit of a search before finding but eventually had cache in hand. Thanks for bringing us to an amazing view of the river. TFTC
Went for a 2.5km walk to find it, had just about given up when we spotted it. Very fun to find, the gps is off on it though. Definitely found the activity log on here helped a lot also bring a pen!
As soon as I stopped next to the pair of big green monsters,
I knew I had been to this spot before [:o]
Would I find the cache this time around
It took me a bit of poking and prodding,
but yes !!
TFTC and great views.

Found while grabbing a few smilies in the area, thanks doheng for the hide. Great views of the cliffs from the gz, again another area we visited for the first time even though we have been to Mildura many times over the years.
My GPS was all over the place but the cache was where I suspected it to be. Good camouflage. In good condition too. TFTC TNLN. Signed as HDTK? to save space in the logbook.
Well the view certainly is amazing from here.
I'd walked a few km's here and it was nice to stop up top and observe.
After a few moments the search began.
Eventually I got there.

Nice view of the cliffs, pity we were too late for the sunrise as it would have probably been stunning. Quick find when the GPSr settled down. Like the CO's work.
2nd cache today, went through bush following directions. Came to 1m area but not around. Clever little hide, found as soon as started to look in area. TFTC
On arriving at GZ I was met by a couple I had previously seen at the snake gully cache. In discussion we discovered we were all on the same mission. We went in search together and after ten minutes of thorough searching it looked as though we weren't going to find this one. I decided to move on and was down the road 50m or so when I heard "Oi!" Robber44 had made the find. Thanks doheng for the great, cleverly hidden cache.
The sun was out this morning so a great time to view the red cliffs. Arrived at GZ to find someone who we had bumped into up at the viewing platform, so let him know I was caching, only to discover that he was on the same mission. We looked around for quite a time without success, and had he started to head back to his paddle board when I let out a hoy. I had finally laid my hand on the clever hide. We signed and then gave him a lift back to where he was going down the cliffs to retrieve his board and head back across the river to where their houseboat was moored. An FP for bringing me to this great spot.TFTC
