Five Oh - 4 Journey Ebenezer, South Australia, Australia
By SEMIK on 24-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3HZYP

After doing some caching a bit north of town we're making our way back towards our motel. A very windy afternoon and more traffic than expected going by but all good at GZ. TFTC

TFTC, found eventually as tracks have made the cache move. SL

My training course finished early today. So time for me to collect some more smileys while I have so many close at hand. An uneventful find here. TFTC!

lol base of tree has us confused for a bit. The tree has been to the sawmill

quick and easy find, thanks for the cache!

????????

Thanks

Found with Bullash 7 April 2024

Day 1 of a trip to the Barossa Valley to do some of the Five Oh and Barossa geoart series, as well as any others that are nearby.All caches were found in good condition unless mention otherwise in log. TFTC

Oh, we can't take the car down that stretch, time for a walk and one of the team to meet us at the other end

Found

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

Out to get some numbers early to reach 4K by the end of march. Amazing what journey you'll lead to get a cache. TFTC SEMIK and Mattycat.

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..

i was in the area and this cache was found. I was going to d the series but the condition of the road left a bit to be desired so I moved on.

Out in the Barossa today looking to clear out a few of the many caches Ive yet to look for in this areaA quick find, stamp and return hereTFTC

Quick find while out and about grabbing caches.TNLNSLTFTCTTFNBeaker DGS

Great spot had a good long hard look at obvious spots and then my 9 year old daughter said dad I found it (I was nowhere near it) TFTC

Not today

Found

Still there. Rock. Base. of. Tree.

The cows will help you...

After looking in what seemed the logical place and not seeing a cache, we almost DNF'd this one. We persisted and found the cache according to the hint!

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 it

️potentially missing️

Great! TFTC.

Checked cache and log all fine

Thanks Matty for maintenance, we now have a smiley

While staying in the caravan park, we decided to do some geocaching nearby. This series is a nice opportunity.
Thank you Semik and mattycat!

Cool hiding spot, thanks for the hint, haha. Found by Benjamin.

Found it’s home but alas no cache

Not found

It seems the cache is missing due to the last few logs. We looked all over in a few likely spots and found an empty bag in what we deemed the most likely.

Will check this one out. May be MIA

Replaced. Caching rocks!

New cache in place now.

Hidey hole found. Camo found. Cache not found. Ha.

Missing

Found the good spots but I think the cache has blown away.

1st DNF. Looked everywhere. Saw some geocache spots. Even the tell tale rock, but no cache underneath

Found with Aussie M and M.
Today was all about the 50 series.
Ive been wanting to find this series for years. Sadly a few DNFs and some did not attempt due to the dry weather only roads on a partially wet day. Tftc

Found it

Little easy

Aaaaa

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

Log was wrapped in cellophane - novel!

Nice to be back on a decent road.

TFTC and series.

Day 5 of our holidays was an early start for the ability to cache all day. We uncovered some geo art, went on very interesting dirt roads, found out some local history and had lunch at one of Mrs IML72's favourite pubs the Gungellan Hotel from her favourite TV series. TFTC

Found with Tracking Turtles. TFTC

Great Cache, TFTC, Found with FKcats

Thanks for the five oh series. All present and accounted for. A great day out racking up some good finds to add to my tally. It was good to follow Animal, for they made it easy to find where to write my logs.

TFTC nice find quick drive by

Yay we made it through! Thanks to my ever careful hubby & our trusty 4x4 geo Rodeo for getting us from one end to the other without any damage or incident.
The cache was soon in hand were I signed
& dated the log before returning it back to its hiding spot.

No4 today so sorry for the generics but here we go. Here for the TDU 2020 and definately some intestate caching. Located all available of the 51 except for those in the 30s not listed. Thank you for the adventure and the challenge. The 4x4 section is overdue for a grader job. Cheers

Starting the series with the kids today. 4 down. Tyftc.

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.

Fifth of ten finds with Aussiewolves on a day visiting the Barossa. Quick find after a short search. TFTC

Found it. Easy find

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.

Out and about with my sister helping her complete the Mystery at the Museum quest. TFTC

Enjoying our explore of this area aided by geocaches. Couldn't go past the 50 series. This one looks like it's going to be an interesting track, we made it! Tftc

Hi there SEMIK.

We found your cache **"Five Oh - 4 Journey"** today. (This makes our find count 22084).

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

Cool

TFTC nice find on this beautiful autumn day while exploring the Barossa! JenneG and Budgy from Nth Nowra NSW.
