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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
 
Tftc out for a Good Friday geohunt with geowifey and geopup

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.

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.

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.
