TFTC Pixel_James your cache Wildlife #2 that we found today. Camped at Alford. Decided to head out to Tickera and Wallaroo and then back to Alford. It was tipped to be a scorcher so we did not intend to stay out too long. Hah. Got back to camp after 2pm just as the shade was coming over the Motorhome. A good few hours and all caches attempted found reason ably easily.Performed some mtce on the cache and container.Find Count: 17719
Almost purrrrfect just no cache container and log inside. Lucky I had both and they fit in their new purrrrfect hidey hole. TftC A fave for the cuteness. Just love that cat.
Decided to do a day trip to Kadina to make a start on the Abandoned Railway Sidings/Stations series, as well as Alford and Tickera on the way. All caches were in good condition unless mentioned otherwise. TFTC Found cache and log separately because lid was missing. Stamped and replaced back as best as I could.
I was meandering back towards Wallaroo after a morning of caching in Moonta, and realised I needed 5 more caches to get to 600 finds. This was find number 23 of 25 for the day. Cool spot, I wonder if it still gets used? The cache was tipped over and the container exposed, but given the location, I don't think anyone's going to Muggle it anytime soon!

Great little spot with bones around - saw a hare and a kangaroo while looking for this one
Nicely done! Easiest cache today and good view to Wallaroo. All is good here!
Another nice find with woolwood9 today. ????Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit. ????SL tm/ww NZWe really enjoyed the drive / walk around. ????
TFTC. Day 5 of honeymoon caching trip. Caching around Kadina/Wallaroo getting car fixed!
Happy caching and safe travels!

While staying in Wallaroo for a short visit we decided to head north and grab a few caches along the way.
Today was the first day we’ve come across any flies since last Autumn, not in thick numbers but I’m sure they’ll build up quickly.
We also came across a large brown snake sunning himself on some rocks.
We promptly abandoned the search for that particular cache
Many thanks for the hide Pixel_James

Another find as we clear up some stragglers around the Kadina/Wallaroo surrounds. We’ve seen a lot of feral cats on the YP - must be a problem here. Thanks for the hide.
Today we traveled from Yorktown to Wallaroo and restricted our caching until we reached Wallaroo. We found ourselves set up by 11.30 am so we headed out to find a couple of caches close to where we parked the caravan. All the caches we attempted today were found and all are in good condition.
This is so cute.

Decided to get out and about to collect some more caches again this Good Friday, while making a journey up to the Yorke Peninsula to perform maintenance on some of my existing caches and hide a new one as well.
The Australian Prime Ministers trail and It's a Small World are on the radar today, including some other caches hidden around the towns of Mallala, Long Plains, Wallaroo, Tickera, Alford, Parham and Webb Beach.
A total of 77 finds and 7 DNFs for the day.
A little bit of bloodshed but that's all just part of what makes geocaching fun.
Easy find here today, was not expecting that container, never seen one like that before.
Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.
Happy Easter to all Geocachers.
Thanks to BrettnJames for this cache.

What an epic journey we have had, just returned home from the holiday of a life time, we managed to catch up with PP2 for some caching at times, oh the memories and laughter!! Now it's time to catch up with the logging, thank you to every CO who has placed caches for us to find along the way TFTC
A pretty container. The contents were strewn far and wide. We gathered them up as best we could. TFTC BrettnJames
A short stop here today, managed to find the cache nicely hidden and all is well
With 2.5 days free and nothing to do, what better than to head to the yorke peninsula for a few days. I made a plan of trying to clean up majority of the caches on the peninsula going from cache to cache. Managed to come away with only a few left and 247 finds for the few day trip.

Found on our way home from a trip to Crystal Brook and Port Pirie with Team Waldron for a long weekend. Unlike the previous two days of low cloud and rain, the day opened up with clear blue skies, temperature in the low 20's, and light winds. Perfect for caching on our travels back to Adelaide via Port Broughton, Tickera, Wallaroo, Moonta, Kadina, Balaklava and Mallala. Thanks for the cache BrettnJames!
This was one of the cases of look up instead of at your gps. Got to GZ then broadened my search, there it is with my footprints right next to it. TFTC!
Caching while heading to Moonta for a few days.
This cache was laying in the open many metres from the GPS GZ.
We put it back where the GPS indicated it should be, hopefully in the right spot.
Thanks BrettnJames

Cats in the bush are such a pest and are endangering our wildlife , although this one is harmless .

It's quite shocking to see a fat cat in the middle of the outback , hundreds of kilometres from the nearest community.
Thanks BrettnJames.

Our kind of wildlife. Cat gets a fav point
Grinning like a chesire.

Off for another Puzzled Puzzlers caching Wednesday adventure. Again it was myself, S.A. Sewer rats and Blackadders heading for the Copper Triangle for a day of laughs, fun and smilies. But today we had decided we would cache until dark, have a bite to eat and continue with some night caching.
After fish and chips in Wallaroo it was time to continue to cache by torchlight. [8)] At 9.00 p.m. we finally turned around and headed towards home. [^] Didn't stop us form finding a few more along the way though. You wouldn't beleive all the pussy jokes that came out when we found this cache.

A Starfish, Rat and Adder were on their Wednesday caching trip.
WE had many laughs and adventures today.
As Mrs Rat walked to gz she noticed something looking at her.
A rat found a pussy in the bush.
We managed to coax the pussy to give us the cache.
A fav point from the Rats.TFTC

Another assault by a few of the Puzzled Puzzlers targeting the Yorke and surrounding areas. With the the great weather today a number of previous DNF's were turned into smileys and many others were turned into those nice yellow found icons on the map. Thanks also to the extra pair of Starfish eyes.
Searched under torchlight and found the little cache guardian concealing the prize. Coaxing the critter to give up the log was successful. Signed and replaced, a fav for the effort. TFTC

Day 6 of our rest, relaxation and rejuvination week. Beautiful weather today although every muscle hurts from trying to keep up with the kids. After a day of dusty mining history yesterday today we opted to stick nearer water and enjoy the sea breeze and views while collecting seashells. Tftc
Another day out using caching as a tour guide. We enjoyed the day driving mainly along the coastal tracks, enjoying the scenic views, which are quite different to the coast where we live. I signed all todays logs as the 14th...oops
This was our last for the day, as the squid were calling back in Moonta Bay and we had to catch a few for dinner.
A cool camo. Log was getting full, so we left a sheet of write-in-the-rain paper.

We have commenced Part 2 of our holiday. Part 1 was Easter at Morisset and we came home to sort out some family business. Now we are heading to South Australia instead.
After a comfortable night in the Port Broughton caravan park which was worth the trip alone for we set off to visit Wallaroo via some backroads. We set off for the day picking up caches as they popped up. Aah very cute

Found while filling in the gaps between Tickera and Wallaroo. One fat cat. TNLNSL. Thanks for the hide Brettnjames.
Day Thirteen of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I visited historic Wallaroo. With a historical buildings map in one hand and a caching map in the other we rode our deadly treadlies around the streets and piers. (That wasn't easy with no hands!)
We needed to stop at lunchtime near the pier, and sort through all the remaining caches to remove those that haven't been found for the last year. Maybe some maintenance needs to be done in this town?
We started yesterday with Wildlife #5 and finished today with Wildlife #2.
A very cute container, but a really serious problem for all the rest of the wildlife in Oz.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11810. Day 13 of our SA holiday. Time for Robmc and me to visit historic Wallaroo and see if we can find some caches. Well yes we did, and a few DNF's before we got wise and went to get lunch. Lunch-time was the time to check every potential unfound cache and see whether they were worth visiting or whether they were missing. Well, that narrowed things down a bit. And still we were unsuccessful at some. We must try harder.
Very cute. This one almost looks like it could be made in Cheshire. Even though the log sheet is just in a plastic bag all is OK here. However, the log is in 2 pieces so could be replaced at some stage.
Thanks BrettnJames

Whilst out tonight, we grabbed a few cache in the wee hours.
Another quick find on our way back to camp.
I think we may have found all of this series now...
