Found with Coybear2000 while visiting Burra. We drove passed this one a few times but there was always a car parked nearby. Finally the coast was clear and we went for the find. Soon had CIH, log signed and all replaced and we were back in our car and continuing on our way. TFTC.

Worked my way through all the possible GZ’s

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. How good is this country!!

The Crapper Crew, I found Police Lock Down today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Easy find, this old police station is so cool. TFTC
 
22-May-22
We are finally able to travel interstate without heaps of loops to jump through. We thought we would take it easy and have a look around South Australia and grab a few more LGA's while we were here.
We were spending the night in Burra and after a drink at the pub we walked up to this one. A quick find
This was find number 9 for the day.

Here on an afternoon without the Burra passport key so we'll have to explore the stables another day, but we did find the cache. It could have been retrieved from the roadside, but our device wanted us in with the thistles.

quick find. slowly clearing out burra. found a mint tin with no lid, replaced the cache.
found with Mogni. Headed out in the general direction of clare and planned to clean out clare before the June Long Weekend End Event in 2022. As usual there was ALOT of caches found before then and only a couple of caches where found in clare before staying in Farrel Flat for the night. The next day was cleaning out Burra and slowly making our way home. Damn doing multi's takes so long, since the final has a habit of not being in the direction you are planning to go next. All caches that where found that were brittle or damaged were replaced and logs found wet where replaced, except for nano's. Nano's are evil spawn and you can do your own maintanence on them.

It was school holidays and I needed a break from school and chores and needed to just have some fun. I talked sir_spectre into joining me for a weekend away caching near Clare and Burra. We avoided the big towns and focused on the caches we normally drive past on the way to somewhere else. Any caches that needed some attention got it.
Thanks to The Crapper Crew from mogni Smile
 
11-Jul-21
They are still following me!! LOL

Next time I'm up here I'm going to grab a key and discover more of this town and it's history.

After a relaxing weekend in Burra Burra it was time to head home, the long way of course .

TFTC Keep smiling

Please excuse belated generic log. We (and LAPUN) began our objective to drive from home, (being border towns Albury/Wodonga NSW/Vic on the Mighty Murray river) to Eucla WA and return.
Departed on the 17th April and returned Anzac day 25th.A good 8 days camping at a different place each night. Caching was not one of our objectives but managed an average of 2 per day giving a total of 16 hides.
All hides were in good to fair condition and none required maintenance. Thanks to CO for placement of cache.
