Now that the main reason for our journey was over and multiple caching trails were completed it was time to venture home. Our Mob had gone separate ways. Only three teams left now us, Rapidlywild and The Drovers. We cleaned up a few more while in the area before making the slow journey home. All the others had previously completed this trail but thankfully they were happy to help out and drive around the loop again so we could get our name in the logs. Thanks for the hide and series Mattycat and thanks for a fun adventure Rapidlywild

The weather is getting very warmer, but I won't give up until the series is completed... I'm so happy to sign as an EV, and thank you for the cache and hunt.Some of the caches need TLC and refresh.. due to some damp log and damage to the container, etc..

With an afternoon free and a storm forecast for mid-afternoon, we decided to find some caches on the ‘50’. Not too far from home and not a full day’s worth of caching.
Most of the caches we stopped for we found. Some we bypassed as there were locals present or there was nowhere to stop safely. The dry weather roads were relatively dry for the most part, quite wet in places and completely impassable in others!
A good couple of hours caching and no storm.
Please excuse the copy and paste.

Found neatly tucked away from the rain and cold, hoping to stay warm. Took only a small time to find.
Lucky the rain stayed away today, but previous rain has provided a small swimming pool for the ducks, meaning that I had to "use side entrance for access".
The gorgeous cows were happily grazing in the field opposite, but had a celebration once I located the cache and had signed the log.
Caches with swaps are my favourite and are what originally peaked my interest in the beginning; I always get excited when I see large caches with swaps, it's almost like a reward for hard work. While there was no room for swaps this time, nice cache.

While staying in the caravan park, we decided to do some geocaching nearby. This series is a nice opportunity. Smile

Think I logged the whole series this morning but can’t be sure till I see smileys on the map. Installed new logs where needed (a few were mouldy), replaced caches that were def missing... one was just a base no lid or log. Got twigs in my hair, drove down a goat track (you know the one), consumed water and fruity chews, found a few on the ground, most were exactly where I thought they’d be Picked a zillion bits of speargrass outa my old runners.

A real pleasure to explore this region today

After spending most of the morning and early afternoon in my car going from cache to cache, it was time to get my bike off the bike rack and get some exercise.

I parked near #35 and the set off on my bike to complete the 0 trail. Then moved my car to the 5 trail and again set off on my bike.

Not sure how many kilometres but in today’s heat, it was quite a work out for me.

All caches found. One cache needs a new container (#35) and about half a dozen had damp logbooks but still write able. All others were good.

Thanks for creating and maintaining this series- I had an enjoyable afternoon.

Thanks for the cache SEMIK.

While staying this area we knew we just had to do the caches in this series, plus a couple of others close by. All except one log was signed, all containers were replaced in position before we moved on again. There was a huge variety in the condition of the logs which varied from one that couldn't be signed, through to acceptable, good and some were excellent.
We decided to give a few caches a miss, as the tracks leading to them were deeply rutted and not appealing at all.
Many thanks go to the CO's for each cache placement.

The caches around here looked like fun, so we came along with goingplaces2 and had a good go at these ones. Some tracks were good, some were OK and some were very iffy. Logs were signed, caches were replaced and the job was done. TFTC.

Mr Tardis was out for a caching day to the Barossa and surrounds. A beautiful almost-spring day with sunshine and warmish weather. I wasn't planning on the 50 series, but I found 7 that were on the way to my destination.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache SEMIK.

Hi there SEMIK.

We found your cache **"Five Oh - 3 Swaps"** today. (This makes our find count 22083).

Today we headed out from Kapunda to attempt the "50" series We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds but due to some high winds we had to abort our run half way and return to camp to rescue our caravan awning before it blew away. Please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]
###It would be a good idea to employ a 4WD vehicle for caches 5-8 due to the severely rutted track.###

We found 27 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** The containers and log books were mostly in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge in the majority of caches.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny
