Lovely day for a walk, TFTC

Wet day. Nice walk and easy find. Tftc

Found on a trip to Marion Bay with pineapplegoldy. TFTC

Goldy is spending a few days at Marion Bay with Jimmy for some cache finding, cache hiding and event hosting. As well visiting Innes National Park.

Such a nice corner of SA, you just can't go wrong.

We made the walk to GZ and a quick find was made.

We have replaced the log book on behalf of the CO.

All is well here once again.

Thanks earthlight and The X-Trailers for this cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3188 on the 12th of June 2023.


CITO's are a brilliant way to help keep our community area's clean. The Earth is our playing field and we need to protect it!

Always be sure to cache the "leave no trace" way!


**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

TFTC. Did not sign as log book wet

Found but could not sign log as wet

Off on our annual birthday caching trip, Purrfect Di, Mattycat and Jack coming along for the ride...
This year it's cleaning out Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park time. Something I started back on new year's eve 2012/2013 with two of my sons!

Today for Matty's 19th (maths...cats...) , on the 19th, we found 19 caches... yours was one of them !

Yup... this was number 19 for the day. Almost sunset, so the rest of the plaster trail will wait!
But this was interesting enough with the plaster sacks fallen so close to GZ!

We are grateful to earthlight for planning and maintaining this cache on our ever growing SA cache map!




---

Travelling all over wherever we can - searching, spotting hidden items and signing cache logs using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just a guess or plain old dumb luck
Heaps of the luck stuff really !!!

*Most of the online logs are composed and published with GSAK of course*.**

Beware ! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, floodwaters, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for bugs !!! . [xx(]

Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - cache the countryside


Great of all those placing quality caches out and about around the country areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

We do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...

Added new log sheet . Left damp log in as was drying ok.

Now back in SA so maintence run in next month

TFTC. Day 1 of honeymoon geocaching trip.
Happy caching and safe travels!

Log book soaking wet. Unable to sign and we were walking so no replacement sorry!

After an early start to the day in Edithburgh, we headed out on a coolish day with iluvtrekking to grab some finds in Innes NP and others a bit further afield. Thanks Earthlight and X-Trailers

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
We set off early on a cold and cloudy morning with the threat of rain, which fortunately didn't eventuate. We enjoy the small towns, beaches, cliffs, history and ruins we encounter along the way. Thanks for your cache Earthlight and The X-Trailers.

Day 7 school holiday adventures in SA saw us hit up the national park. What an amazing place. We spent most of the day here finding random caches as we went. Easy find here. Loved the walk around the old village and all the history along the way. Thanks for the cache

Nice! Terrific stories of your POP and memories of those days bygone have made this series really interesting! Day 7 in SA after numerous trips were sabotaged due to you know what and its the first day it has not been more than a chilly brisk! The Innes National Park and it’s caches was high on the list along with several other random caches so hoping to tick all boxes before heading back to home base. I’m out on trusty treadles aka my mtb to explore the trails and surroundings. I’ve learnt theRE are plenty of quality SA caches - plenty to pique the curiosity and anticipation of another surprise or fun cache. Happy and relieved to record no DNF’s today and on average most were located ‘relatively’ quickly. TFTC AND THE FUN and the effort to contribute to this fave game

Grre

Checked on cache and found 2 so removed 1. All ok.

Quick find thank you

Tftc!

Found with gridge98 on a weekend away to the yorke peninsula.

Thanks for the cache

This was our main attack for the day, we set off from the Marion bay end and headed along the trail finding them, we found all but one cache along this trail. All the other caches are in good order. Watch out for the magpie near the old buildings too.

A big trip away to the yorke peninsula planned for the weekend travelling around touristing and have a look at sights I’ve seen before, plus camping over the 4 days wherever we needed up at the end of the day. Plus why not find 116 caches along the way for the trip. Despite the wind on the first evening the rest of the trip we were delighted by the beautiful weather.

Thanks for the cache

Found with the Mooses3 on a pleasant stroll around Inneston. TFTC

Found with windy archer. Tftc

Found while caching with Shonkylogic for the day. I came over to start on the power trails but this was a much more inviting thanks for a great trail and enjoyable walk. Cache in good condition.

Cheers and Happy Hunting
Southern Cross Caching

Out for a stroll with Southern Cross Caching around Innes National Park. We started walking at Inneston and cached our way back to Stenhouse Bay, following the old railway line and the fire trail spurs.
There was very interesting history here, I was only vaguely aware of the fact that a train used to run along here. It would have been interesting seeing it operating, probably not at shinkansen speeds
The houses around Inneston have been well preserved and it would be good to book one sometime for a stay.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPS 64s at 11:07:00 AM and was 8 of 28 finds today.
Thanks earthlight

Only time for this one on the trail today. Hope to come back in June and walk all the way to Stenhouse. The caches will spur me on! Thanks

Thanks for the series. We had a great walk today, thank you.

Thx

Thanks

Doing maintenance run with The X-Trailers. Cache all ok .

Time for lunch now

Found while visiting Innes National Park and staying for several nights in the Inneston Managers Lodge. Today we set out to walk the tramway trail from Inneston to Stenhouse Bay. With a previous searcher coming up empty handed after an extensive search and a good fossick around today, we concluded the cache must have been missing, so with the CO's prior approval to do any cache maintenance we replaced the cache in a likely spot at GZ. Thanks for the cache earthlight and the X-Trailers!

This one just didnt want to be found. I searched for at least half hour and returned the following day to continue the search and still came away empty handed. Could have been cache blindness

Back in SA for Xmas so doing maintenance run down here for earthlight and ourselves.
It's a year since being in Innes National Park and still love it.
Cache all ok for next finder

Tftc

Another quick find while checking out the old town. Some very interesting history.
Maybe one day we'll return and be able to do the complete walk.
TFTC!

Sneaky hide! TFTC

Went for a walk with geokids to see old Inneston.
A great experience and plenty to see.
TNLNSL
Thanks

We spent yesterday exploring Innes National Park, and naively thought we could cover it all in one day. We’re back here today to show everyone we were wrong! It’s such a wonderful place, full of fantastic views, history and wonderful bush walks. We did stop a few times yesterday to grab caches, and today we hope to finish off both the caches and the exploring as we need to move on tomorrow or we won’t be home when we need to be. Such a shame, but we have decided that we need to come back to the Yorke Peninsular and spend more time enjoying it.
Easy with the spot on clue.
TFTC

Walked the trail checking caches for The X-Trailers and myself today. New log sheet in place.

Day 3 of our 2018 Yorke Peninsula excursion.

Decided to pick up non Power trail caches today.

TFTC earthlight and The X-Trailers

The SWAGJJ team has embarked on day 3 and are enjoying the caching pleasures of the Yorke Peninsula! So much on offer and such a wondrous part of our great land! So many caches makes for a busy and fun filled day! Amazing views today and rather windy ! TFTC

Team SWAGJJ is visiting the Yorke Peninsula this week to complete the geo art and collect traditionals, multis and other types along the way. Seeing some amazing country side and views as well. Thanks to all the COs for placing these caches.

Yorke Peninsula Day 3: A small break for power trails (after a quick 60 caches from the fishing line...). Then we collected caches around the Yorketown and Edithburgh area and in the Innes National Park. Some spectacular scenery to take in, strong winds to battle on top of cliffs, and another exhausting day. Signed as SWAG-JJ. TFTC!

Day 3 visiting Yorke Peninsula from QLD for a week of caching with geo friends Waz and Vic, Ardom, Gcoven, JACS Team and joojoo57.
Enjoying the SA countryside and the vast amount of caches to find. All logs stamped with our team name SWAG-JJ
A big thank you to all CO's for the time and effort in placing these caches for our enjoyment.

Found July 11, 2018

Found as part of SWAG-JJ team. Thanks.

Travelling down from Queensland with my fellow cachers Snickersallan, Waz and Vik, Ardom, Gcoven and JooJoo57. We have planned a week long adventure to collect all the geoart, the fishing line and anything else we can get. Thanks for the cache!

Day 3: A bit of a slower day today, did a smidge of the powertrail, a swag of traditionals and a few other randoms along the way.

Tftc

Appropriate camo here. Thanks.

Out on a day's caching in the NP with blingg
TFTC

Out for a day in the Innes National Park taking in the sights and grabbing a few caches on the way
TFTC

Camped at Gym Beach but got blown out with very strong westerly winds. Decided on a walk along this trail to do some caching. Probably not the best day for it...very hot. The march flies were horrendous, made caching a bit challenging....staying still to sign the log gave them an excellent chance to land and bite!!
Thanks for the cache series, excellent walk and interesting history.

Found during a 10 day stay on the Yorke Peninsula. Lovely area. TFTC earthlight. Found 14/10/17 11:33 am. Cache 1386 for us.
~~~~~
Found and logged using the brilliant Cachly app for iPhone. Easy to use and with many great features for cachers of all levels.

TFTC. This was our first find on the Thomson Pfitzner Trail walk today.

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.
Today I was lucky enough to be out and about with some of those friends and we targeted this cache.
Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!

Thanks earthlight for placing this cache.

Today Gary and I wandered around Innes National Park - we loved it! Some of the cache hides were easy, others were more challenging, but overall we enjoyed a wonderful day with fantastic weather.

Thanks for the cache earthlight
------------------------------------------

Woo hoo, the lovely Micaparamedic and I decided we would attend the June Long Weekend Event in South Australia (Edithburgh) and make the most of a road trip to the glorious Yorke Peninsula by spending a week away - NICE! [^]

We particularly enjoyed exploring Innes National Park and focussing on the new earth caches on the YP and in Burra.

Good Walk

#2438 Today we rode the tramway and collected a fantastic bunch of caches along the way, gained a great amount of local history knowledge through the interpretive signs and cache page write ups and had some much needed exercise! TFTC The X-Trailers and earthlight for the fun!

Me ??
I strolled the tramway
And now I am in Inneston CBD,
I've heard there is a bakery here

Alas !! No baking being done today

TFTC.

First we must appologise for the generic logs.

We found the inprint really impressive

We came to Yorke Peninsular with Speedmistress who hails from Queensland to cache our little hearts out and this we are doing.

We solved loads of puzzles prior to coming and with all the earth, multi, trads and puzzles there are here we were never lacking in variety.

When we found caches that needed repair we have done our best to do what was possible, unfortunately we have now rum out of spare containers, so no more repairs can be done. We have enjoyed the scenery, the walks, the animal life and the challenges that was encountered while traveling the Peninsular. Not all the caches have been attempted due to time restraints but those have been earmarked for future visits.
We also would like to thank Speedmistress for supplying our geocaching chariot.
A huge thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches for us to enjoy.

SL TFTC

On this occassion, I am doing a generic log. I very much enjoyed the series. Some great insights along the way. I have travelled from Queensland to meet up with Muff1 for a Geocaching extravaganza on the beautiful Yorke Peninsular. Our goal to Cache, Cache and Cache. Each day our "finds" have been growing in number, some days more productive then others. We have also been careful to take time to appreciate the natural wonder of the areas we have visited. The variety of caches was interesting, some very clever, some the quick grab they were designed to be. A big thank you to all of the dedicated Cache placers who have made this possible.

Only seen one other cache like this

A lovely day for a walk, Autumn is the best time of the year on YP. TFTC and added reason to walk this trail once again.

Camped at Point Turton, and this morning we headed down to the National Park, with Konie.
We decided to do the walk first, which was very enjoyable, in the cool of the day.
All caches were found reasonable easy, but #10 took us longer than it should have.

Many thanks for placing this cache, earthlight, for us and others to find.

Staying at Point Turton and decided to head south to the National Park and do the caches along the coast today with The Drovers.

We started off with the walking trail which was very interesting with a few tricky hides along the way.

Once the log was signed all caches were returned as found.

TFTC earthlight

why didnt they put the fallen bags back onto the cart?? TFTC

Walked along the tramway thinking about how much of a hassle it would have been to do and then redo the tram tracks here, let alone hauling so much soil to make the rise.
TFTC

A quick find with Bek-theraccoon

Tftc

One of 9 caches found today during a very interesting and enjoyable visit to Inneston. Thank you!

Day eleven of the short holiday with Bettyboo3747.
Left our house in Marion Bay for a day's caching.
Spent all of the day in the Innes National Park, using the caches placed as tourist suggestions, it worked out very well.
Must have been a lot of work to construct the tramway, raising all that dirt for the rails. Building it out of wood, then seeing it disappear because of the termites, and having to reconstruct it in steel. Would have need a bugger hauling a heavy load to have part of the track fall apart from some bug!
Thanks, Robmc.

# 9398. After 3 days of GeoArt it is now time for Robmc and me to relax and spend a lovely day in the Innes National Park. The grey start turned into a mild, sunny day that helped turn the ocean into many lovely shades of blue and green. With Spring starting all the plants were putting on a colourful display and I was able to gather some gorgeous old-style freesias to bring back to the accommodation. (They are introduced nuisance plants out here, so just doing the park a service).

This is such a lovely track to walk along and we enjoyed finding the caches along here. Stopped to read the information boards and saw a couple of regal emus cross the track ahead of us. There is certainly a fair bit of broken glass and other bits of rubbish reminding us that the area was once a thriving town. Loved the old cottages and hope they restore some more for public use. We had noted all the ones you mention in your stories. It was also interesting to see the old bags of gypsum that had fallen off the wagons.

Thanks earthlight

Todays drive was in the Innes National Park. We travelled with mccamob & pprass signed the log as DIMP.
I have enjoyed walking in your family footsteps, last year I was in the Edithburgh region & today here at Inneston. What a very different way from most people to record their family history, & to teach others of the area.
Thanks for placing this cache earthlight

Found by Mary & David, in company with Di Morgan and pprass (signed as Dimp), at 1310. After your guided tour of the village, we set off along the former tramway for the final few caches in the series. Interesting to read all about the life and times of those days on the various signs along the way. Our thanks to earthlight.

Found at 1:40 PM GAFF1 in the company of DiMorgan & maccamob - we signed our names in the log book as "Dimp".
Now following the tram track and we are just amazed at the amount of broken bottles - lots of beer must have been drunk here!
Thanks earthlight.

Did not find but we weren't prepared by reading the clues (no internet access). Better luck next time!

Walked the trail with grandson checking caches along the way

A quick find as nan [earthlight] had in her hands before I could.
Enjoyed the walk through town to this cache.

kids favorite cache so far! great hide.

Although it was getting late in the day, we thought that we would have sufficient light to visit Inneston and to get some appreciation of this historic settlement. Accurate coordinates and seeing something familiar, led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache earthlight and for bringing us to this very interesting area.

Found with Rapidly wild and the ladies of the FurfacesLL on our Yorke Peninsula geoinvasion extra long weekend. The objective: make the nab on the geoart and on as many others as our time and energy would allow Lots of fun and laughs and a great weekend all round!

We'd finished making the collect on the geoart so we were off to see the sights and collect some trads around the National Park. After heading back to Marion Bay for some dinner, we came back out to finish off the last four caches we had left to nab around this interesting little town. This one and the others were found quickly

Thanks for the hide, earthlight and The X-Trailers

So the adventure with FurfacesLL ladies, specimenX and myself had begun on the Yorke. We were here to attack the geo-art and what ever else we could get our hands on. 5 days of fun and games, many stories to be shared and a good weekend all in all

This was full day number 3, after a big day yesterday we were back out again to continue hitting the geo-art. Apologies for the generic logs.

It was out to the National Reserve to pick up some more caches after succesfully finishing the geo-art powertrails.

Thanks to all the cache owners who took their time to place the caches we have collected over this weekend. [^]

Our geomission with Rapidlywild and SpecimenX had commenced. This geomission had been in the planning since the new geo-art caches had been placed. The Canberra Day long weekend was chosen to give us enough days to collect as many as possbile. Our target is to get all of the caches in the art works and a few more if possible.

We finished collecting all the art and now it was time to take in the sights of the peninsula and the national park.

Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the caches we had a blast of a weekend!
