Major roadworks just completed on this intersection. Lucky the trees weren't removed as part of the works. This site has an interesting history. Many a drover would have stopped here whilst the cattle were grazing on crown land nearby and on Accomodation Hill. TFTC. Swapped an item.

Find #8503

After a good nights sleep, lukie1987 and I decided on a bit of a numbers run as we gradually headed towards Adelaide after our road trip from Melbourne to Alice Springs and back was coming to an end. After finishing up the TdF series, we decided to make our way towards Swan Reach where we would camp for the night.

Another fairly quick find along the way here. Truly is some quite well hidden information.

Many thanks to Southern Cross Caching for the cache. TNLN.

Out for a lovely day to cache and have fun.
I was picked up by the lovely feathered Doctor Owl.
We had a lovely stop in Nuri with the resplendent Snappy tom cats.
There was a lot of laughs.
A quick find for us today TFTC
 
05-Apr-17
Having acquired a nice new shiny caching stamp, Owl was ready to leave it all over the neighbourhood. Historical caches are always welcome and this one had Owl unsuccessfully imitating a gazelle as she found her way to the cache. (Not necessarily a pretty sight!)

A bit hard to miss this nice big container. It was nice and shady in there as well, perfect for signing log books on a warm day. A beer would have been nice, but this is no longer the pub with no beer, it's the pub with no pub!

Thanks Southern Cross Caching.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Travelling for work and the phone rang so pulled over to answer it. Stopped and while on the phone looked up the map and guess what, here was a cache. So while answering the questions on the phone, wandered over to GZ, made a quick find, extracted log, signed it and replaced in its hide. wandered back to the car as the call completed and hopped back into the car to continue the journey.

It was a "hands and knees" approach to this cache but that gave an advantage as we saw the cache in its hide very quickly. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Southern_Cross_Caching for the cache.

The toughness of pepper trees is amazing. Very little water and care yet they survive. Thanks.

An impromptu dash to South Australia was needed so I could say my goodbyes to my poppy, Twisted and I stayed a couple nights with my best friend KBKL. After poppy's service was sorted, we decided a few caches were in order.

Time to drive home and I had decided to get a number of caches en route. Turned a normally 12 hour trip to clost to 20 hours but it was worth it. Managed to get 4 states/territories in 24 hours also Big Grin

Cache located, signed and replaced.
