Another cache hunt on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

This cache has been trashed and contents strewn everywhere. We found the log discarded some distance from GZ so we stamped it and provided a new container and cleaned up the mess. All good now.

Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-tour. We have enjoyed our time in SA, but it is time to slowly make our way back West again.

A fun day with JJ52 and Michells&hound going from Adelaide to Lochiel, Snowtown, Bute and Moonta finding caches along the way. My main role was to drive and find caches. TFTC Tk2
 
03-Jul-22
A caching day was planned with allister w and Michells&hound and a nice list was made visiting Lochiel, Snowtown, Bute, Kadina and Moonta. [^]

It was an early start on a cold winter day. The temperature hovered around 8-11 degrees for most of the day but that didn't hinder us, at least it was dry. We had a fun day driving some great country roads and tracks and found a great assortment of caches in some pretty cool spots. Cool

A quick find here but only a log book, no container or bag. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache Tk2. Smile
 
18-Apr-22
Saw pages of the notebook all over the ground as I walked up to this one. Looks like it needs repairing. Lucky it wasn't winter yet and the main pages of the book was only a little wet. I placed it into the "container" I thought it had come from but this one urgently needs repairs. TNLN. Cheers.
 
24-Feb-22
Well, a quick find but yikes.
A lot of potential here, just needs someone to look after it.
Maybe an actual container inside would be good?

Thanks for the find.

Quick stop here, cache is all good

A big trip away to the yorke peninsula planned for the weekend travelling around touristing and have a look at sights I’ve seen before, plus camping over the 4 days wherever we needed up at the end of the day. Plus why not find 116 caches along the way for the trip. Despite the wind on the first evening the rest of the trip we were delighted by the beautiful weather.

Found and signed as Team Vic (made up of The Empire, Wozzle, SnapHappy and yours truly), today on our journey from Adelaide to Whyalla (the long way to pick up some special caches). Much fun and laughter was to be had in these few days, aching ribs and tears streaming down my face at times, we all had a fabulous time. We soon had this one in hand, logged and returned to its hiding spot. My thanks to Tk2.

We found this cache as part of a 4 day trip which went from Adelaide to Sceale Bay returning to Adelaide. The purpose of the trip was to remove Freddo was his home location too near the Clipsal 500 track and for us and Freddo to achieve a difficulty 4 1/2 and terrain 4 cache to make us well rounded cachers. The cache we needed to find was located near Venus Bay and we successfully completed this goal early on Friday morning which left us plenty of time to find "just one more". Loved the scenery and having the opportunity revisit this great area Big GrinBig Grin Thanks to Tk2 for placing this cache.
