Quick drive by. Sometimes you just spot these immediately, and other times it takes ages. Tftc
A nice quick find after stopping by to say hello to the hens, roosters and ducks. TFTC
Took off up north today and kidnapped a frog. Went hopping around some caches together.
He got one, I got 18... seemed fair. Let's do it all again soon
Around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and oh there it is says the frog.
Much thanks to RadioactiveCache for placing and maintaining the cache on our map

Stay safe when caching. Watch for snakes, random cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins... but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]
Make sure Travel Bugs are the only ones you share and pass on
2020 turned into 2020won, and 2020too is on the way! 2020free should see us through
Still important to observe social distancing when possible, (150 nano caches apart should do it)
Still important to wash your hands (always has been really [:o)]
Still very important to look after each other and take precautions & get checked out for even the tiniest sniffle or cough, or unexpected headache! [8)] [B)]
Still even more important to get some fresh air and exercise while we can, so get out and cache the country!
Thanks so much to all those placing caches out and about away from the city crowds,
keeps our game safe and interesting

So we were all set to fly to Dayboro for the Queensland Mega this weekend. There hadn't been a case in Qld for a quite a few weeks before we decided to book in early Feb. What are the chances of a case causing a lockdown and closing the border we thought..So when it all did happen just 4 days before we where due to leave, we were royally peed off. So we had to cancel and find somewhere else to spend Easter. Pt Broughton was a last minute choice. Today we pulled up stumps and headed to White Cliffs campground to join friends for Easter Sunday/Monday. After setting up camp we headed back into town with Chrispy89, travellinbees and Michelle. A quick find as it was laying on the ground out in the open. Looking at the terrain rating I assume its supposed to be in the tree so thats where it was replaced.. TFTC
Gridge98 asked if I wanted to go caching[?] and that word 'caching' deserved a yes[^]
There was an event at Clare at 4pm which was the goal for the day[^] anything else was just a bonus
38 cache smilies: 36 caches found , 1 cool event attended and 1 cache beta tested[^]
Found this cache today as we cleaned Koolunga out[^]

An interesting little town, with many interesting characters. It is always worth while chatting to locals. TFTC RadioactiveCache
Of the 4 caches in town, this is the only one we had success finding. Found in a quiet morning stroll.
Another fun day's caching in the sun, making a few finds to mark the end of another great year.
Many thanks for placing the cache for me to find.

Missed it on the first pass but spotted it with a second look. I think today is the first time I have been to Koolunga during daylight hours...

Catching up with some very late logs.
Heading down from Port Pirie to Adelaide to visit a friend who is laid up in hospital we did manage to break the drive with a few cache stops along the way.
Although we the country side looks great with all the green under growth it has been making searching a lot more difficult than it should have.
Happily we did not have that problem here and the well hidden cache was soon in hand and our name added to the log.
Many thanks to GamerLover for a great first cache. a favorite point from us.

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.
Staying in a 'Free Camp' we werent sure what the weather was going to hold for today. Turned out quite magical, with grey thunder clouds overhead but sunshine still shining through.
We visited the towns of Merriton, Redhill, Koolunga, Yacka and Gulnare also Threadgold's Crossing. A busy day and lots of fun exploring, but with sadly 4 DNF's.
Thanks for helping us tour this region by visiting your cache GamerLover

a sneaky hide and we thought we had checked that spot many times before.
Took trackables to visit.

Time to cache again after the hot spell of summer! Goingtheredoingthat, KarpyKarpyson and myself embarked on another short expedition to retrieve lost treasure on a lovely Saturday morning/afternoon. I think we collected 22 smiles all round. GTDT found this one easily.
Found while on a Saturday morning caching trip with Limbage and Karpykarpson. Find number 11 of 22 for me.
This cache was a space invader.

A quick easy find, until someone slammed the car boot shut which raised the notice of a local muggle. Waited and waited for him to get back to chopping wood before replacing the cache. TFTC Found with TheEliFinder

What a clever little container. TFTC.

The muggler on the corner seens a lot of cars pulling up and walking
about. But he looked harmless.

Out with a group of cachers driving around collecting caches and challenges. Followed JB's geo trail straight to GZ. thanks GamerLover.
There was a bloke and small bonny happening across the road. Luckily I cached in the light of the fire so all was good.
Thanks to GamerLover and clear skies from TeamAstro.
