A spontaneous trip planned with [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) to Millicent to target this GV2020 power trail series. We managed to complete that series in three hours, and then it was on to a few around Millicent, breakfast at Mount Gambier, and some targeted adventure geocaches just south of the Mount. It was also good to have gridge98 to visit my sinkhole caches that he helped with. We then drove back to Adelaide stopping at a few targeted caches that were either new, or ones that gridge98 had had trouble with. A beautiful winters day actually, so was good to be outside when we weren't driving between caches.
Gridge98 had looked for this one previously and came out trumps, so it was a quick detour past here to look in good light. I followed the coordinates to what seemed like not much around, so searched nearby church signage and nothing there. After reading some past logs, we realised what we needed to be looking for, and as I was backtracking back to GZ, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) made the find as we both looked at the cache. Thanks Travelling Sister.
Argh nanos! Their frustration lies in the search, and even then when found, the difficulty in logging and rolling. Best characterised as that annoying friend that hangs with your bestie!

This one took a bit of wandering around but eventually I spotted the little thing. Something about nanos and the spawn of satan was uttered...

We managed to have a few days break over the Christmas New Year period. After Christmas in Geelong we headed over to Adelaide for a few days.
There wasn't a lot of caching but we did manage to find a few in between touristy stuff and eating.
Thanks for the fun Travelling Sister

Just as well the coordinates were accurate.
Our second this morning as Muggle Hubby and I travel to Adelaide.
Thanks again Traveling Sister for keeping us alert on our journey.

The location you have moved this too is not available as you have now caused a proxinity conflict with a cache already in play.
You have moved your cache with 150 metres of GC13AHQ Mrs Sharam's Petticoat.
You need to move your cache so it is 161 metres away from this cache as per the guidelines
Thank you

It was on the right! Sister Loretta from the church unhappy about the location of this cache. Thanks for the cache anyway!
A pretty spot that we found while taking a slow walk around the town. We found some very picturesque spots like this one and enjoyed taking the time to look around while finding caches. TFTC
Ultra quick find. I was reading the hint when my daughter said, Got it !!! Now to look inside. Tftc.
Seems like Owl had a 'must find' marked down for this cache and we weren't leaving town until her name was in the log book. Little did she know she had her fingers on the cache before she went looking elsewhere very nearby. A little game of warm, cold hot and the cache was soon found.
Thanks for the cache Travelling Sister.

Owl's family were supposed to be going in different directions over the long weekend, so she arranged a caching trip with Sushilord. When they ended up staying at home... she went anyway! Lots of laughter and quality caches were found on the way to the first rest stop in Mount Gambier. Including this one. It was dark, but Owl insisted on stopping and rectifying a previous DNF. The Fish found it for her, but it still counts!
Quick find and good hide. Nice buildings in the area. After finding this I wandered around exploring. TFTC Travelling Sister.
We actually found this cache very easily. Beware of muggles leading you astray. TFTC
Out walking in the historic district before hitting the winters. A quick find. Thanks for the cache.
Easy find with the hint. Nice the combination of history and caching. Greetings from Holland.
Found both caches! The original bison is still in place, but was pushed back out of reach (last signed April 2017), but there is also an Eclipse tin in the right hand side. Both are now accessible , TFTC
Found with the geo-son whilst the girls went shopping around in Petticoat Lane. Just the odd muggle around but the detailed clue meant that we soon had the cache in hand. Many thanks Travelling Sister
Today we headed to Penola for our annual excursion and today it was Yallum Park a great place with lovely history and then into town for lunch. After lunch we found the few caches and this was the second one. TFTC
An interesting spot that I'll have to explore when it's open. Thanks for the hunt this afternoon 
Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Cache container was on ground and the log as described in hint. Signed and replaced both as in hint. TNLNSL TFTC

Suscoe was enjoying a few days at Mount Gambier and surrounds this week leading up to Easter.
We experienced a strange but familiar pattern of weather with a storm last weekend, with hail, rain and strong winds and towards the end of the week we had calm and sunny days. Just like home.
Anyway, we enjoyed the caching, so many different locations and interesting hides.
Well done to all the cachers for the work done in creating and hiding their caches for us to find.
It was a stinker of a day, cold cold winds, rain and hail. Sunday was not the day to be out in the open for too long.
Thanks to the Travelling Sister for this hide.

Was happy to stop on our travels to get this cache. We found it on the ground and a stick in its place. We put it back where It belonged. TFTC. Scrappy_1
#11555. Day 2 of our holiday and today Robmc and I head from Hamilton, over the border and on to Robe for a few days. Naturally we stopped to find a few caches along the way.
I believe we have found a replacement cache. I note that in Octobe 2016 it was still as described on the cache page - a bison on the LHS of the middle sign. Today we found an Eclipse tin on the RHS of the middle sign. We signed and returned it where we found it. Now to visit the second cache in town.
Thanks Travelling Sister

Day Two of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I headed towards Robe from Hamilton.
Got up late-ish and slowly made our way across to SA, caching as we found them on our trail.
We didn't have the time to go and have a look inside the centre today,we will be back.
Interesting history on the cache page and on the signs though.
The cache however, seems to have morphed into an eclipse tin on the right hand side of the sign, still easy to find
Thanks, Robmc.

I am extremely late logging our finds for our Penola/Robe holiday. 
I am now starting to catch up on them so it's lucky that I keep notebooks with records of all my finds, particularly now that this cache has been archived.
We had decided to stop for a few days in historic Penola before heading to Robe for a couple of weeks holiday with the geobeagles.
We had passed through Penola when we had previously holidayed in Robe but we had never had a good look around and wanted to especially see the Mary MacKillop sites. We stopped by the Interpretive Centre and had a look for this cache. After a brief search we found the cache and signed the log at 12:45 pm. TNLN.
Thanks Travelling Sister for the well-hidden cache. After finding the cache we each had a look inside the Interpretive Centre as one of us had to mind the beagles. We then had to "take refuge" from the rain for a while before heading off to find a few more caches. It's such a shame that this cache needed to be archived as it was a good hide and a nice location.
