TFTC. Quick find and sign

Thanks for my first find!

Awesome find on a cold night. I love how this one is hidden in such a cute way and thus is why I am giving it a favourite point. Beautiful.

Very cool cache to find.

Good hiding in the trees

It was fun and easy

Very easy cache to find! Had to be quick - right at school pick up time!! TFTC

Thanks

Found gnome/s and another container but contained no log.Photo sent to CO as proof.TFTC!

Always great to be able to collect another Mary McKillop, we have them all over the country now. This one took a bit of hunting, but we finally found him in the smaller garden thanks for the cache. .Day 13 of our Great Leap Forward leap year Mega trip of 2024. Caching today with GLISS! Always wonderful to be travelling across the country enjoying the amazing scenery and caching along the way. Main focus for this trip has been to tidy up the last couple of counties needed in Victoria and make a serious dent in the South Australian ones. Plus a few days in Adelaide enjoying the mega fun. A hot dry trip this time around. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches so we can enjoy the game.

Day 13 of my Leap Year Mega trip. Today, the plan is to find lots of counties. Found with Nibletricecakes. NOT the gnome with the red hat! TFTC.

An early morning start after our overnight stay. I am traveling with my friends, hatzofff, RoddyC, Snickersallan and grannysmith1947. We are signing all logs as "5 for QLD" to save space.All caches were found, signed and replaced as foundAfter a big day yesterday, today we are logging selected caches around the outer Adelaide area.

We enjoyed a nice walk around Clare enjoying the cooler weather. We looked for any caches we passed on the way.We arrived here at a very bad time but after several minutes wait for the parents to leave after dropping off their students we found the cache.Many thanks for the hide Travelling Sister

Wicked find! Nicely done. Thanks

On our way home from a week in Hawker. Wonderful time with friends, who tolerated and took up a bit of caching. This is a cute little cache in a quiet area. FP. Thanks for providing us with our entertainment.

Great old church gates nearby - TFTC!

The hardest part of looking for this cache was negotiating the streets and one way roads whilst parents were delivering their children to school. We eventually found a park close to GZ. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The protection provided to this cache, in particular the logbook, was very pleasing to see. Consequently, the cache and contents were in excellent condition. Thanks Travelling Sister for another in the series.

Found it

Great cache, thank you. Our 60th find

Away for a couple of days with TheWhiteDogGang.

We stayed at the free camping in Blyth and cached around Blyth, Brinkworth, Yacka, Spalding, Clare, Stanley Flat and surrounds.

Most caches found were in good order.

A neat hide.

Nice quick park and grab.TFTC

We are on our way to the Rutherglen Mega. Overnight we stayed in Clare and today we are caching and winetasting. First up a Mary MacKillop cache and we met one of the last Sisters here (Sister Kerry I think). She recommended going to Seven Hills and looking at the Church and the crypt as well as the tastings. We took her advice and travelled to Seven Hills where the Father also told us to look at Weikert Cottage which is now an interpretative centre with a wide range of information and images. After some very nice wines we had lunch in the lovely Watervale Hotel. Then onto caching via Auburn, Eudunda for the Silo Art, and finally Nurioopta where we had a lovely icecream at Maggie Beer's Farm Shop.

We had a quick find here with Sister Kerry coming out and talking to us. She reminded us of Peterborough's 100 year anniversary mass today.

TFTC

Beautiful spot for a cache with a beautiful smelling garden to accompany it.

In the area for an event which was held today!

Favourite point awarded

awesome spot and had a lovely lady to help us find it too

she’s so sweet

????????

Beautiful cache
Thank you

Day ten of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
A very chilly day in Clare. It started with a lot of rain, and some domestics for us, then a few gaps in the clouds and some cache collected by foot and by car.

A very impressive tower on the church here!
Still school holidays, as it was quiet around GZ.
BTW, no wheelbarrow, but the cache is still well hidden and in good condition.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19103. Day 10. of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. The first of a f ew days in Clare and we didn't get off to a good start with the weather, after heavy rain last night. Today we put off going out until this afternoon. Managed to collect 13 today although we were mistakenly dating them the 24th until I realised the error.

Magnificent spire and church - pity we couldn't get close to it, being on school grounds by the look of it. Finally found da place to park and walked to GZ. Cache was visible on arrival but we hid it properly before continuing on our way. We have done a lot of these caches in our travels over the years.

Thanks Travelling Sister

Definitely better to do this one on a quiet weekend.

Super fun

Reallly cool right next to my nannas house

We intended to find this one the other day but had not timed it right. 3.00pm is not a good time to look for this cache. There is no wheelbarrow either, the cache is hiding under a flat rock. SL TFTC

Found with Symonds6. Signed log as GuS6. TFTC.

TFTC found with Gus6

Well that’s awkward In the dark. Feels
Like your stalking the residents nearby. TFTC.

At least the rain has stopped found with daughter

Awkies on the corner

Lovely walk back home from town. We looked a bit obvious standing in the corner.

Another good and easy find. May need another bag to seal the container.

Cache #82 - not so wheel barrow

Short search located cache but no wheelbarrow. Guarded by gnome. TFTC

There was no wheelbarrow but I could see where it had been.

Felt a bit like I was trespassing, but I was determined to extricate the cache. I tried to be careful not to damage anything. Finally got it signed. Some bees were present to witness everything. Tftcsl, tnln.

Thanks for the cache found with Webberg on our Clare Valley sojourn. Thanks for shy your lovely garden

Thanks for the cache, found with conardel on a trip to Clare. Beautiful garden!

DNF unfortunately, the wheelbarrow hint did not help as there was no wheelbarrow we could find. The navigation lead is to behind a green fence which we were unable to get around due to the gate being locked.

Went to find the geocache, and there was a large black dog (possibly a staffie, we couldn’t see it too well due to our group geocaching at night). Just beware of any dogs lose in the area tonight/tomorrow... we have seen multiple dogs being taken by a suspicious person.

Found by clare oshc Daniel is the best

Another Mary cache completed in a dodgy spot

This morning i decided to head to Clare for a half days caching and to attend a breakfast club event. An early start for 4:45am and came away with 51 finds by lunch time.

Thanks for the cache

Staying at the Beautiful Hummocks station at Snowtown (highly recommend it) we ducked out to Clare for some shopping and Mrs F needed a haircut we of course found a few caches on the way into and out of town.

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

In the Barossa, staying in Nuri with our good friends Snappy Tom Cats. HevWalker joined us for the weekend, so we devised an area around Clare that we had not cached, and they had quite a few they had not yet found. Set off with lunch packed and gps's loaded.

Easy peazy, once we worked out how to get in the one way street, and the roadworks. Thanks Travelling Sister, my son went to St Joseph's in Yeronga (Brisbane)

Good one for kids

Clue didn’t make sense, but I could see something suspicious as I approached GZ, which turned out to be the cache. Quick easy find here. Tftc

Nice little hide here, found as we wander around Clare, with HRH54 TFTC

Quick find in a nice peaceful street Out walking with Juju54 after spending 2 days biking the Riesling Trail TFTC

We headed over this way yesterday and hit Clare for a few caches this morning. I’m not quite sure that Sean.75 didn’t believe me when I tapped on a cache and it was this one. The last one we found of this series was in Tassie back in November. I’m still enjoying finding these ones. Tftc

Caching my way around Clare. Cigc. Tftc

Sorry about the Generic Log, Many found and many to log from a few weeks ago.

The usual troupe of a Rat, Adder and Starfish on their Wednesday day out, today up North. Thanks for all the caches although I can not remember them all. The logs of the others pretty much describes the hide, find and adventure. TFTC

Time of a another Wednesday Wander towards Clare. Today's crew of puzzled puzzlers were myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats.
Not too many finds for me today but I revisited a few DNFs
that unfortunately remain DNFs.
Only one place it could be and of course it was!

**Thanks Travelling Sister for this cache. **

Nice cache and a nice gift for my daughter.

Found it after plucking up the chourage to interrogate the gnome. Think 'the lady of the house' clocked us as soon as we arrived....... probably laughing at us from behind her curtains.
thanks Sister for another Mary McKillop.

A warm day and all is good. Tftc Shame church not open.
