TFTC . Passing through Mannum on our way to Adelaide and thought we would have a little explore TNLN
Last cache of the day. This is a location i have been many times when i was a lot younger with my folks. No time today to go past this point and find the caches deeper in the park. Quick find on the way home after doing the nearby OTD - November series.Found with Mogni. Today the aim was to do the OTD series - November and as many of the solved jigidi puzzles in the ghostly tales series as we passed on the way there or back. Any other caches we stamped on route were a bonus. For a change all the containers were in good shape and all had plenty of logbook space expect one that got replaced. The flies are out in flocks, not one or two at a time. No snakes were sighted but dozens of lizards were seen and a couple of kangaroos. Only 1 DNF for the day.
On the way home from a auntys funeral in Murray Bridge so a cache nearby we saw and thought why not TFTC
We're making our way from Mannum to Murray Bridge doing some caching down side roads along the way, all good at GZ. TFTC
Today out and about on 201 of 274 days to get my daily cacher Emerald Using my Garmin Etrex 22X and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cacheTFTC
Staying at Mannum for 2 nights. Muggle husband decided to fill in time we would go geocaching. I was happy with that decision. I stood back at times to give him the chance to find the caches to keep him interested. Tftc
A nice walk through this area this morning, the cache was easily found once at GZ and is all goodWith two events scheduled over two days, one a tailem bend and another at Mannum the following day I decided to make an overnight trip out of it. Just over 100 finds for the two days cleaning up the map as I went. Thanks for the cache
# 9185 Day 4 of the Leap Day Mega trip. An early start today as I headed out west to Mannum, about 1 hrs away. The event was at 8am so I was up early. It was a very warm night after yesterday's 37C and it was pretty warm today too. Mannum is still recovering after recent flooding. Following that, I grabbed a bite to eat at the bakery and headed off to Mannum falls, which were not. By now it was roasting hot out there. The only stop on the trip home was at Hahndorf which was a bit of a theme park and quite busy for a Wednesday arvo. Met a bunch of Queensland cachers and joined them for a few finds. Tomorrow is the main event, but tonight is an event in the city.The clever hint helped a lot here.Thanks Nettiser for the Traditional Cache
TFTC. Setting up camp for a week in Murray Bridge before the MEGA for 29th Feb!Moving to Ballarat for another week afterwards. Last hurrah travelling before wooding season at home starts!Happy caching and safe travels!
Highly recommend a stop in at the Mannum Falls! With all the rain we have had recently, they are a sight to behold! And a cache to top it off! TFTC. Found By Cache in the Hat.
Quick find on the way to Melbourne.
Thanks for the cache & greetings from Switzerland

Did not find. My coordinates pointed to it being behind the fence and I didn’t think it would be.
Day trip to Mannum to view the rising river. We took a detour on the way into town for a walk to the waterfall. Quick find close to the car park.

Today is public holiday. Weather is fine. I and J plus the little one left home for 10 hours, to visit the Big Rocking Horse, Mannum Waterfall, some ferries in River Murray, and some caches on the way. We tried different types of caches including traditional cache, multi-cache, mystery cache, letterbox hybrid, Earthcache, and adventure lab cache.
After a hike on Mannum Waterfall, we went back to the carpark area to have some food. My mobile phone ran out of the battery, and I had to charge my mobile number before searching the cache. After I can use my mobile phone, I went to GZ to find the cache. It did not take me too long to find the cache.
Took nothing. Left a TB. Signed the log book, and placed the cache back.
Thanks for the cache, Nettiser.

Disembarked the Proud Mary river vessel and hopped on their coach for a tour around town and out to Mannum Waterfalls before we cruise back to Murray Bridge.
After sharing my geocaching addiction to fellow travellers, one was interested in what a cache looked like. So muggle Lyn helped with the search for this cache. I think she was surprised at what we found. Log signed and returned to its hiding place.
Alas we didn’t get to see any water falling but it was a lovely walk and another cache added to my growing finds list.

We enjoyed a nice day having lunch at the Mannum club and then grabbing a few caches on the way back to Murray Bridge.
The falls are barely a trickle now….much different to when the heavy rains were received a week ago
Many thanks for the hide dennisbullard

No possum was sighted, but that’s ok, I have plenty at home. Losing count now of the number of times I’ve shone a torch into a tree hollow and there is a possum looking back at me.
Cache location is not what I expected from the hint. Left as found.
TFTC!

Great family day out. Quick cache before we headed off. Great spot, I couldn't find it and then my son said it's right ........
It was inches away. Lol. If he didn't spot it I may not have found it. Lol.
Tftc.

Found with CinemaBuff after a nice long walk along the Mannum waterfalls. Not flowing today but still lovely
Out for a Wednesday Wander with an Adder.
It was a lovely sunny day.
This one took longer to find than it should have.
The beady eyed Rat eventually spotted the cache.
The Adder retrieved the cache. Tftc

Family day trip to Mannum. Boy aren't into caching but humour me with a few finds when we are out. A walk to the 'waterfall' before searching for the cache before returning to the car. Hubby walked with me to help the search as it was getting hot. A look up and he spotted it. Signed log and placed back where it was found. TFTC!
On a very hot afternoon we decided driving around in the car finding a few caches would be as good as anything. We found a few mostly driveby’s or very short walks. Thanks to the owners for placing for us to find.
It was a fine day to be out caching.
A quick find with hevwalker on Australia Day
Thanks for the hide Nettiser

Day 428 ( Friday 30th ) of our trip. Caching along the. In To Mannum today. A total of 11 for the day and 7496 the trip. A grand total of 17,464 caches. TFTC
After a very early start to see X Trailers off at the Vilis 6am event we decided to just do a couple of caches here at the falls as weariness had set in.
We’d just collected our new second hand camper van. Enjoyed the walk and this was a nice quick find. We camped here for the night great spot. TFTC

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to Mannum, Mypolonga and Monarto. Our first stop was Mannum Waterfalls, and we had a good walk around in the nice weather, before heading to Mannum for lunch and completing the new Adventure Lab there. Then, we made a quick stop in Mypolonga checking out a few of the geocaches, and it was then onward to "Woop Woop" Creek at Monarto for the event and new *Underrated Aussie Series*. A few hours of nice walking around and admiring the creek/valley right before the rain hit in the evening.
I had been wanting to visit Mannum Waterfalls for some time, and I was even going to visit here on a work field trip since some of this granite is a great analogue to the field formations that we were drilling in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin, but alas that got canned due to business requirements. It was a great area that we enjoyed seeing, and although there wasn't the heavy rain that was forecast the day before, there was still water around with a small waterfall in the upper pools.
We ended up driving down from the upper falls car park to the lower falls car park just to grab this geocache. I thought the hint was a little misleading, as the cache wasn’t down? Perhaps some cache creep has happened, so a return CO visit may be required to review the cache location? The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Nettiser for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/@jesswrigley stamp.

In Mannum celebrating our anniversary, and such a nice day we had to cache too. Never knew Mannum had a waterfall, so it's good to see local sights as we cache. TFTC
Nice little hide. Beautiful way to end day of walk to Mannum Trickling Water (Falls). Could hear baby birds in adjacent tree. So cute. TFTC

Found while what is now a forced stay in Murray Bridge due the CO-VID 19 issue. So in fitting with the new rule I go out into lonely areas and geocache for exercise. (with allmy frends,(no one). Well thats my story anyway. A quick find although I must of read the hint wrong because I looked where I thought the other item would be and found the cache. Not that Im concerned I found the cache that the important thing. TFTC.
