Cross Keys Hotel Brinkworth, South Australia, Australia
By Tk2 on 28-Oct-12. Waypoint GC40BR5

Out on a scenic drive and a few caches. TFTC

An afternoon of caching some quiet country roads with a good buddy. A few lizards about now as the weather warms up. Nice bit of our pioneering history, which we love and respect. Must have a bustling place in it's heyday. Quick find. Tftc.

Found with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip.Too a wee detour to pick up a couple more caches. Thanks TK2.

Travelling with iluvtrekking on a SA caching foray. Moving from PA to Clare today and caching along the route. Thanks for the hide.

Found it! Hard to imagine there was a pub right here one day! TFTC!

A quick roadside grab today. TFTC

Day 3 of my short Geocaching weekend. Today I left White Cliffs Reserve zigzagging along the way finding what caches I had not found and ended up stopping in Yongala for the night.

A great site for a cache to bad the hotel couldn't have survived a bit longer but that's progress I guess.

TFTC Tk2

Amazing of how these old hotels sites keep popping up in the middle nowhere from 140 years ago. Cache sign and replaced. TFTC

Decided to head out and do some caches with sixpak69, most of which he had already done however I wanted to turn some into smiley faces. We spent a couple hours out and about, I particularly wanted to try a tree fishing cache here in SA so that was our main target.

On the way back to Clare, we collected a few more caches. No issues with this one, signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache placement Tk2 and thanks for the company sixpak69.

TFTC

Replaced container and logbook.

Hello

Dnf 22/9/22

No cache found after 10 mins of searching.

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

thanks for the smiley Tk2

Happy 9th distanced day of Christmas!
Avoid bugs (except travel bugs) - avoid people - cache the regions !

Out team caching with Jack for a great start to #2020won !

Gridge98 asked if I wanted to go caching[?] and that word 'caching' deserved a yes[^]
There was an event at Clare at 4pm which was the goal for the day[^] anything else was just a bonus
38 cache smilies: 36 caches found , 1 cool event attended and 1 cache beta tested[^]

Interesting history and such a shame that as transport options change, so many towns and places lose their importance[xx(]

TNLN. SL. TFTC Tk2

A quick find here cache and contents are all good

This at locus cache and I headed now towards Clare and beyond to find a few caches and with our main focus later in the day at Clare for a coffee event, such a great day weather wise, came away with 52 finds.

Thanks for the cache

Staying at the Beautiful Hummocks station at Snowtown (highly recommend it) we ducked out to find a few caches nearby again today. Loved all the history shared today with us by using Geocaching as our guide.

Kenbryl and I are heading off from Koolunga toward Geranium Plains. We decided to stop here to give this cache some love!! Thanks for highlighting the area with your placement. Cigc, tftc

Not the Cross Keys Hotel that I am familiar with
Nice to know it had a twin once [^]
Next time I am visiting the more well known Cavan pub,
I can bore the regulars with this bit of trivia I found today [:o)]

"Bottoms up !!".
thanks for the cache

found it on the way home from the june long weekend event, was looking for a travel bug hotel until I read the cache notes

So I am on my way from Mount Gambier to Wirrabara for the JLW event. Of course this just means I need to go geocaching.
So car is packed with the special temporary hides and I pick up brisal5 and off we go....
Thanks for the cache.

WOO HOO. June Long Weekend. Can only mean one thing. There is a massive event somewhere and the GOTHS will be getting back together to compete. As usual just getting to the event will be the start of the fun. This year was no exception but with a car load of wacky hides it was just mogni and I that were together for the trip up. [^]
26 months after our last attempt when we couldn't find this we are back. [^] This time mogni walked straight up and found it. Double hoot and no blood. Thanks Tk2

Heading north before returned south to get a few after the dawn Service. Thanks

Found on holiday in the area, TFTC

Tftc.

Out for a 2 day Mid-North cache run with Uni & Medusa, Southern Cross Caching, Team Walrdron & shonkylogic.
Hot weather & good fun made for an enjoyable couple of days.
This cache was one of many. Cool spot, great cache
Thanks for bringing us here
Tk2

Found on a New Year's trip up North with The White Dog Gang, Team Waldron, Uni & Medusa and shonkylogic. We had a fantastic time finding a lot of great caches along the way. While the weather was hot the company was great and we had fun times. All in all 150 finds and six DNFs for me over the two days.

TFTC and sorry about the generic log,
Cheers and Happy Hunting
Southern Cross Caching

Roads, roads everywhere. The ideal place for a pub - if they're main roads [:o)].
Interesting how NOT wanting the railway closeby, led to the demise of Angle Grove as well - kind of like shooting yourself in the foot [xx(]. Looks like the tree died as well as the pub .
Cache is well hidden in the high grass this time of year. TNLNSL.
Thanks again Tk2.

Mr Beetle's turn and a quick find. Pity the pub is still not here, could have done with a drink at this stage of the day. Could have had a feed though, if you like woodlice, as the container was covered in them! Thanks.

4520 found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1220 as we left Clare headed towards Yacka. Now how did we get here? the Mrs and her mate Tom took us along a 2wheel track into nowhere. We got there in the end. SL Tnx Tk2

A day fo mid north caching with Freddo.

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

A quick find.

TFTC

Tftc

Need new container

found it.
TFTC

Thanks for the history! You learn so much while geocaching.

Tftc found with polkys quest

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.

A quick find, a lot harder to get the lid off than it was to find, tftc

Our Flinders Ranges adventure had come to an end..almost. Aussie M&M continued north to Alice Springs. Mogni and I returned to the hills, via Port Augusta and any caches we happened upon on the way.
Found the plaque. Searched and searched but didn't turn up the cache. You pwned us newbees.

Damn, we looked but no luck for us. Maybe next time.

Looked but couldn't find it

We have parked our caravan in the Redhill rest stop, now its time to hunt for some caches.
A nice quick find. The grass is very long at GZ
Thanks TK2

Found on way to Port Broughton. TFTC.

Found on the way home from the recent PubLunch event, after staying overnight in Gladstone. 10 seconds to find it .... then a lot longer getting it open. Thanks Tk2 for the hide!!

Interesting location. Thanks for the cache.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Had no luck then ouy of no where the Kelly Gang came along and guided me the right way TFTC and thanks Kelly Gang for the help

Talk about pub with no beer............... Nice monument.

Thanks to Tk2 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found It!
It'd be nice to read a bit about this old site but sadly the cache is PM only
TFTC anyway

Not much of a hotel today. TFTC

Geodad finally after being out in the caching Wilderness for 2 months without a GPS,we are back on track and GPS in hand now. Nice warm day to go caching on Boxing Day, Geodad second find for the day. TFTC Tk2

Found whilst out with Polkys Quest TFTC

Interesting spot tftc

Love these history caches
TFTC

Heading to the Flinders Ranges for some 4WDing leaving a day early to cache my way up. The weather looked ominous with black clouds, strong northerly winds but by the end of the day it became quite cool. Made 37 finds from Paralowie to Quorn.

Took me way too long to find this one. TFTC.

We where on the road near this area when we noticed a couple of new caches so it was off to see if we could grab a **FTF** or two. Bopeep School was first. We pulled up close to GZ and after moving a little bit of camo we found the cache. We opened it up to confirm our first to find and signed in first place on the log. We dropped in a TB and re hid. TFTC

Cross Keys Hotel was next. The Tom Tom unusually picked the worst road to get to GZ out of the 5 or 6 to get to GZ. We saw the plaque and then a little wider search turned up a little cache. We signed in first place and re hid. TFTC.
