Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. After being in this beautiful State for nigh on three months it is time for us to head back home. Staying in Port Wakefield for two nights to grab caches in outlying areas. Up bright and early this morning to tackle some caches in the surrounds. Thanks for the cache.

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. After 3 months on the geotrail, we're heading west towards home, picking up smilies.TFTC, we love the heritage sites.TNCU

Driving the back roads east of Rhynie and Riverton clearing up a few caches.Beautiful scenery in many spots and will be even better after some rain.Have thoroughly enjoyed driving around on some of the lovely tracks around here.Many thanks for the hide Tk2????

Found it! Nice remote spot and little bit of history. Thankful for a quick find after a DNF at the last. TFTC!

HELLO

Cache is all good here

Today we headed out to leasingham for an event, so off early to explore the back roads on the other side of the hill before making our way there, on the way home we detoured for a walk along the rattler trail.

Thanks for the cache

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Found

Headed off from Wool Bay to spend a couple of days camping out in the mallee near Blanchetown. Took a relatively direct route there and a very circuitous route back to find a good number of caches along the way, and to clear up another small area on the map! Thanks for the cache Tk2!

Day 183 (Friday 28th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Owen today. A total of 23 for the day and 3617 for the trip. TFTC.

TFTC. What an awsome area

A rare day off for us during grain harvest. So we headed off to find a few caches. A lovely drive through rural areas surveying the crops, kangaroos and vistas.

Yet another Wednesday wander for members of the puzzled puzzlers group. [8)] Today's members are myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats. [^] Surprise, surprise - we were one again heading north towards Clare. Shock Horror - we would one be taking a few detours on the way to collect caches. Would we actually make it to Clare today before lunch for a change!

Such a shame that no more could be gleaned about this school. The cache was a quick find with the nearby paddock being seeded by the farmer after the recent rains.

**Thanks Tk2 for this cache. **

Nice easy find with Northstar76

Bloody windy out here. Found with superman_22 getting our souvenirs

Here’s to the old scholars who attended here! What a peaceful spot.

Today we tackled the 2 OTD series and many other caches in the area with Roostaman. Enjoying the views and the changing country side, especially the vibrant colours of the crops that just went on and on, especially with the green backdrop of other paddocks. This was a highlight of this area making it a picturesque landscape. Most were easy finds at GZ, some a bit of a search, but a great day out.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for our enjoyment.

**# 17946** Found on the SA outback leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A fine Spring day for the 2 OTD series and nearby caches with Tassie Trekkers.
Not many muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Lots of bright healthy crops and scenic views along the way too.
Thanks for the cache Tk2,

Quick and easy find.
Found while going for a Geocaching ride around the Mid North.

Nice drive by. TFTF

Decided to have a nice day out with DarknStormy, one can easily imagine the old school by the clearing. TFTC TNLN.

Out and about with my Uncle "Scrappy Trucker" , He's been down for a week exploring our beautiful state so I decided to take him for a drive in the back roads to do a few caches here and there

Love caches like this that give you a history lesson, would of never know places like this existed

Thanks for the cache TK2

Firesafe asked yesterday if I wanted to accompany him while he did maintenance on the APM series after the Pinery fire.
Get out of the house, be driving dirt roads, catch up with firesafe and all on day that was expected to be good weather.....of course I said no.......Umm, yes
After replacing many of the series we wandered around the dirt roads and hills of the lower northern rural area enjoying the sunshine
By the time we got back to Harry, parked at Krispy Kreme at Bolivar, about 5pm I had found 10 caches

A very quick find at another historic site that has added to my education

TNLN. SL. TFTC Tk2

Headed out to do some maintenance on the Prime Ministers series and of course went further afield to grab a few more caches. TFTC.

Oh boy, it would have been a warm place to teach or be a pupil in those days. Check out the name of the farm where the school was located. Thanks again Tk2 for the cache.

?? tftc a quite spot, plenty of blue tongue lizards crossing over the road

A day fo mid north caching with Freddo.

An early start and a late finish meant we got a "few".

Another school. I'll be well educated by the end of the day.

Warning this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise.

TNLNSL
Thanks

Found with the Hero Husband (Moneydork) on a weekend away. Thanks.

An interesting spot.

Moses on the Move, muggle Greg and I were on the way to the Living Water Men's Conference at Halbury but had enough time to get this one first. We managed to take the very long way to the cache but the short way back to the campsite. TFTC.

Trail06, muggle Greg and I were on our way to the Living Water Men's Conference at Halbury but had enough time to get this one first. After a couple of wrong turns that allowed us to explore Halbury we found the cache. Thanks.

Thank you for the history lesson and for bringing us here. Tftc

Nice easy find and yet more history lessons SL TFTC

Found covered in millipedes, thanks for the history lesson.

Easy drive by cache, cache found in good condition signed log book. TFTC

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

Arrived back at the camp ground, to find that 'Liz and Bruce' had joined us.
We teamed up for a country drive, some caching and a pub lunch.
Cache was found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for the hunt today, Tk2.

Glorious weather made this caching excursion in the Clare Valley most pleasant. In conjunction with The Drovers we travelled the highways and byways finding caches. Nice one, enjoyed finding this cache. Thanks to Tk2.

Another visit to school, do you think it will improve my spelling, tftc

A quick find. TFTC

A cache found by Bill while I stayed home for a nap.
He found the cache in the open but replaced it as per the hint.
He really liked the container, the log is in good condition.
Thanks Tk2

Looked and looked and spread the search but still did not find a cache.

Spent awhile in search but no luck

Harry and I were out for a rural night drive and what fun we had: dirt roads, 9 smileys , 4 DNFs and Woohoo!! 2 FTFs!!

No luck for me tonight: could not find anything anywhere that resembles a cache

Found in open on ground log now dry placed by post not sure if right place

This one was open for a while. There is no info in the LSS database I can see.

Thanks to Tk2 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Quick find ... log was damp but we managed to make our mark!! Thanks Tk2 for the hide!!

On a caching run with CPWanderer and to attend The Second Breakfast Event cache TFTC

Couldn't find anything with much relevance on Google either [B)].
We suspect it was just another little school that died as transport improved [:o)].
TNLNSL. The log was damp, so put it in a ziplock bag with a silica pillow.
Thanks Tk2.

Interesting spot tftc

Found It!
Such a shame this cache is PM only I can't read about the history of the school.
TFTC anyway.

Another school wonder how many more Old School site We are going to Visit. Geodad got out of Geolux and Quick Search came up with the Cache in Hand gaining Silver for this one TFTC

We found a clean slate and got a tick of approval

The only history I've found is that the Wakefield School (in the Hundred of Dalkey, south of the river), was closed in 1897 and moved to the other side of the river considerably further east, which then became known as the Upper Wakefield School.

TFTC and the history
