Today we headed around town and country shopping and collecting some caches and AdLabs.We know Everlasting quite well and have found some of Bushies caches in Kununurra.Thanks for the tour around the area wheres_wolly_sharon

Just trying to do some everyday tftc

Maintenance run today all good

With the weather improving after the last few cold wet days we decided to take a drive with the bonus of some caches along the way. TFTC.

Quick look. Nope

This is ridiculous. There’s a bull ants nest nearby and lots of prickles and bush.

Very good hiding

Beautiful morning to be out caching with iluvtrekking. Have been friends with Everlasting for 16 year and met Bushies many years ago too through Everlasting . Quick find today. Thanks where’s wolly

Another cache found with richlink.

There are alot of bushes here, but we found it quickly due to good coords.

We have enjoyed travelling The Eyre Peninsula with richlink using Geocahing as our guide. We have seen many interesting towns and locations along the way.

Thank you so much to the CO’s who have placed and maintained caches for the enjoyment of all.

Alot of bushes here, put a quick find none the less.

Thank you, easy find. But watch out for harry the huntsman inside the cache and the bully bull ants ant hive just next to the road. They’re huge!!

Another attempt today with much better luck. Always good to avenge a DNF. TFTC

Prickly acacia took over GZ. Moved to a more suitable GZ

Wandered around for 15minutes before giving up

On our way back from Memory Cove with ilook4geo we also wanted to pick up some of the caches available around the area. This was one that we found quite easily and both names were soon added to the log. Thanks go to wheres wolly for placing this cache.

Out for some caching with goingplaces2 in the Lincoln National Park area and back towards Port Lincoln. This was a nice easy find and both names were soon added to the log. TFTC.

What an awkward place to get to but what a lovely place to come and visit thanks

Found after scrambling through prickly bushes and crawling under bush to reach cache .

Well it’s 2021 and I have finally said good bye to a not so great 2020 and it was great to finally be able to have a reasonable holiday as I have not had a decent break since 2019.
Made to South Australia and finally crossing the boarder and then being greeted by a couple of very friendly SA police offices for which i had the official paper work to allow me to enter.
After making my way west along the Eyre Hwy I went as far as Penong and the Eyre Hwy which I have not travelled along since the late 70’s when I was on a holiday with my folks and this was the last holiday before I started full time work as a sparkie and finding a few caches as I go.
Geocaching when towing a van is not always easy and I have to be a bit selective on which ones I decide to try and find for safe parking purposes especially along busy highways.
So after leaving Coffin Bay my next destination is Port Lincoln which is down the bottom of Eyre Peninsular off the Flinders Hwy.
I’m hoping for better weather soon I don’t mind it being cool just not rain showers when you are out and about.
Another new day in Port Lincoln and it is time to relocate the van and head down to the National Park so I got up early packed up and headed off.
So after setting up the van at Surfleet Campground it was time to explore the South West area and the weather is finally looking good.
After exiting the park and turning left it was going to be great to see where this road lead me to.
I have cached with everlasting before and how much fun it was to do a couple of night caches with her and a couple of others when they cannot hear anything and see you when it is pitch black.
Getting to the gate was easy getting part, getting to the cache was the had part, shorts and a short sleeve shirt was not the best thing to have on but I just added to the battle scars that I have received from this trip.
Thanks wheres wolly TFTC.

On a road trip around the Mid North and Eyre Peninsula, geocaching as I go. Predominantly targeting old caches, solved mysteries and grabbing some interesting looking traditionals.

Thanks for the cache wheres wolly.

Another find as we continued to cover this area before heading west to Coffin Bay .
This was a very prickly hiding spot . TNLNSL.
Thanks for another one Wheres wolly.

Seeing it is one thing, getting to it is another. Hard work! Thanks for the challenge!

During our new years break, jesswrigley and I headed to the Eyre Peninsula to travel around the various coastal towns. We started the trip with Jeep trouble, but then continued in our alternative vehicle without 4WD to stick to the main tourist roads where possible. We travelled south-west to Tumby Bay and Port Lincoln via Whyalla, Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay; west across to Coffin Bay; and then north-west to Streaky Bay and Ceduna via Elliston, and Venus Bay. We then headed back east staying in Kimba via Poochera, Wudinna, Lock, and Darke Peak.

Today, jesswrigley and I spent the day around Port Lincoln. We spent the morning seeing the town and marina, and then headed south travelling past Port Lincoln National Park to check out Whalers Way. It was still a little cold and nippy with the wind about, but otherwise a sunny day.

Access to this one really did suck. There were so many bastard bushes, but I guess on the bright side, no muggles will ever be around there and mistakenly find this cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks wheres wolly for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Painful to get into this one getting scratched to bits By the bastard bushes

After having car issues over the weekend it prolonged my stay here and with Davidwazza returning home this morning I decided to head out and clean up the remains I had left in the area. A half day out and nothing but blue faces left on my map with the rest being turned into finds. Another day of 35finds

Thanks for the cache

Sent Mr Suelee into bushes for me tftc

Good hide

Vanuit Port Lincoln National Park Lincoln gaan bezoeken en hierbij deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Day 4
After a over night stay in Port Lincoln park. I came and got the last 2 caches unfound in the park on the way out before heading off to the information center for the key to memory cove which is where i am spending tomorrow night. The rain stopped over night so it was just windy the next day. quick find.
Detoured to this one since it's close and i haven't decided yet if i am going to whalers way tomorrow. Quick work out of the location of the cache, then a slow crawl in to the bush to get it. that bush is prickly.

I had a look for this one but I couldn't find it today. I did get lots of prickles and scratches, but no cache. I hope it's still there. My thanks to wheres wolly for placing it.

Ouch ouch ouch lol!! TFTC

A nice tribute to some fellow geocachers. Made a quick find on the way back into town. TFTC

Ouch! Glad to have mini geokids to help!

Quick find while out and about. In good condition, a few thorny wattles about.

Found while visiting Port Lincoln for a week. Took a bit of a search, it helps if you search the right area, it seems. TFTC.

A quick find on our way back to Lincoln.
TFTC
Cheers,
Lead 'n Lace.

OUCH!! Found it cache in good condition geohubby not

Hi there wheres wolly.

We found your cache **"Brother and Sisters (BUSHIES 2 AND EVERLASTING)"** at 10:38:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 15776).

We cached around the Port Lincoln area today. On our trek we found a wide variety of container types. & ended up finding 5 caches with 1 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Cool... Yep definately little persoi ns f I nd

A little person would have been handy here. Tftc

Spending the weekend down Lincoln and spending a few days in the National Park. This was the start of our second day out the Park - intending on heading out to Cape Donnington and see the sights along the northern and eastern coast. This was a quick find but a slow and deliberate retrieval considering the surrounding bushes. TFTC

Found while spending Easter in Lincoln with the family. TFTC

Watch out for the prickles. Tftc

Well hidden

Good spot

A must see little GC that marks the start of a track,
down to a lake that with a unique habitat.
I'll be back.......

Easy find but difficult access!

Thanks for the cache

Bit prickly but good hide

Nice hide

I pulled over at the side of the quiet road this morning and found the entry track to the Sleaford Mere Conservation Reserve.
A beautiful little reserve
The Sleaford Mere is a unique place that needs preserving, and I do wonder why it isn't included in the actual National Park [:o]

I soon found the cache and did my little happy dance

But reading the cache notes now I read the references to a couple of cachers I have bumped into several times over the years
I have met Bushies 2 at least three times, and Everlasting at least five

I was driving around St Arnaud in Victoria a few years ago and recognised the silver Range Rover parked at the side of the road near a cache and muggled Everlasting
It was hillarious !!
Last time I met the pair was in Murray Bridge at Easter this year

TFTC and memories.

Great hide. Found after going in the rong way, getting spiked and stabbed. Lost my pen but found the cache and the easier way in

A quick find then unpeeled all the layers until I got to the log book. Then I backed out of there and returned to the van.
We haven't met Everlasting or Bushies 2 but did have an e-mail conversation with Mrs Bushies 2 a couple of years ago. After quite a bit of e-mailing back and forwards I suggested I ring her - it was then I found out that that would be a waste of time as both her and her husband were deaf.
Another cacher we met had also ran in to them. They had parked behind them and seen them walking across to a cache. They called out to them and were a bit affronted when they were ignored. The reason for this became clear once at GZ.
Diversing a bit I get very frustrated to see other languages being taught in schools, especially primary schools. If they want to teach kids a second language teach them sign language which is much more universal [although not entirely so] than any other language. Sorry, but I do tend to get on a soapbox about this issue!
Thanks for the smiley and hopefully we will get to meet them one day.

Quick find.

Getting a few caches on my day off

Last cache of the day
Got spiked in the head when retrieving this cache forgot to duck
Cache all good
Easy find

Quick pick up while going into the park.

Supple back needed for this one. In good condition. TFTC wheres wolly.

Took a while as gps was not settling. Easy I get into, hard to get back out and up. Tftc13/06/2014 1:37 pm Find #695

Miss GG and myself were on our way to Port Lincoln for a mini camping holiday, and we decided to break up the long drive and grab some caches on the way.

We hand picked all the caches this time on our way over and the caches that we did in Port Lincoln as its quite over whelming arriving at a new location with so many caches.. at the end of the day we use caching to make the drive to a location more interesting and not to do every single cache in the town.. as that will be no holiday at all. Gotta leave some for the next trip right?

Please forgive us for a generic log, as we are logging days after doing these caches, We enjoy the challenge of every cache and we try to put custom comments on the ones we remember.

Today we were making our way south for a little explore

Thanks for the cache WheresWolly.

Until next time - First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Today was Darknstormy and my first full day in Port lincoln so we decided to make our way south for a look around

The day was looking to be great, weather was beautiful and some great sights were in store for us today

I apologize for the Generic logs but as we are logging afterwards all that was done becomes forgotten..

Thanks for the cache wheres wolly

I also apologize for the floods of emails you are about to get

Thanks for bringing me to this part of the country.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Hope we meet them someday.
Thanks for putting a cache out in their honour wheres wolly!

Not an easy find

Prickly find

Another good cache. While searching here a ranger called in to say hello and see what we were doing. Seems he knows family members in the NT.! Small world. !

We have met Everlasting and admire her for her dedication to caching.
Thanks wolly for the cache and hunt.

A nice spot visited during a short trip to Port lincoln. TFTC.

There should never be a problem with muggles with this one. The prickly bushes are the most vicious we've felt.
Thanks wheres wolly
