Found during a caching circuit around Roseworthy, Tarlee, Auburn, Manoora, Saddleworth and Freeling. Really enjoyed traveling the country roads and backroads in the quest for clearing another portion of the map. Thanks for the cache chrispy89!

Found while driving through doing some family history research. Nice easy find there was also a guarding the cache which startled us for a second - the way it ran off we also startled it SLTFTC

Found it! Very quiet here today allowing for a quick find with accurate co-ordinates. TFTC!

Found it with the help of my lizard friend lol. TFTC

Another cache near the highway on the way to Burra with naughtybunny. A nice area and enjoyed travelling these parts. Such pretty towns around here. TNLN. Cheers.

A quick stop here on the way to Burra with Chookster for a short break. This was one of 24 for the day.TFTC chrispy89

Half of the Goldy's are off to Saddleworth today so MotherGoldy can attend some book writing thing for nerds.

While she is doing that, I'm off for my own type of nerdy hobby.

I ended up with 12 finds for the day and 0 DNF's.

I love this series. I love silo's so I am appreciative of the series making them easy to find.

A nice easy find here today, cache and contents are in good condition.

Thanks chrispy89 for this traditional cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3539 on the 2nd of September 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!**

Decided I needed a day’s geocaching so made the trip to Hanson through to Saddleworth before coming home via Auburn and Clare. All caches were in good condition unless mentioned. TFTC
Quick drive by.

Found.

Lexi found it!

Nice little town, with charm. I love visiting this area. TFTC

Found on 1 July, 3023. Silos need a good artist. Nice quiet area.

What else do you do when you have a couple of free hours while your car is being serviced? Decided, on this perfectly beautiful day, to stretch my legs a bit and rustle up some more stats for my caching account, since it's been a while. Walked straight up to this one. Nice quiet area today, but expect it wasn't so a few months back.

Another easy find near very impressive silos

A big long weekend with the JAMS Crew (JJ52, allister w(me), mogni, Sir Spectre and tallbikestan). We road from Riverton to Stanley Flat on day 1. Then more riding near Spalding on day 2. Then finished the weekend with finding caches around the area in the car. TFTC

another silo series cache gets stamped. quick find
The JAMS team ( JJ52,Allister w, Mogni, and sir_spectre minus mitchell&hound ) but Tallbikestan was with us instead and we where out for there usually monthly caching adventure. This time it was over the october long weekend instead of the usual day trip. The taget this time was Drop into the Light a long ladder cache on the way to clare and then to clear the Rattler trail, Riesling Trail, Ne Trail saturday on the bikes and then sunday do the Mid North Channel Country bike trail. Monday on the return home was to get Peter's view a 2001 cache. Of course there was many, many other's found on route to the various target for the weekend, somewhere around 260 found by the team. It could have been more but we were not going at a flat out pace, just steady and getting a blow out on the bike 1.6 km's from the end of the Mid North Channel Country bike trail didn't help. I didn't see any snakes this trip but allister did, he saw 5. The caches this trip where written in as JAMS, i forgot the stamps. Also 1 cache was placed by the JAMS team this trip. Out of all the bike tracks i preferred the Rattler /Riesling trail. I like riding through the very rich ( after all the recent rains ) fields of yellow flowers.

A return visit to Clare was planned for the long weekend with the JAMS crew plus tallbikestan to find a lot of the caches that we didn't get to on our last visit along with the Rattler, Riesling and NE trails as well as the Mid North Channel Country trail. [^]

We had three very full days with perfect weather for caching, lots of bike riding, lots of walking and lots of driving along dirt tracks. We were lucky it had not recently been wet as some of the roads we drove on would not have been passable if wet. Loved the scenery at this time of year with everything looking very green as well as the bright yellow of the canola crops.

A fun weekend of caching, lots of caches found and lots of cool places visited.

Thanks for the cache chrispy89.

Found out with jams group for the weekend logged as jams

Back in Saddleworth. Thanks chrispy89.

Found on the way home from June Long Weekend at Clare. TFTC.

We are in the area to attend the JLWE so are doing a self driving tour using geocaching as our guide. There was not a muggle in sight while we looked for the container. The cache is in good condition. SL TFTC

A nice detour through town out to this one, after a lap of the tree the cache was soon found

Off to Clare for an overnight trip mainly focusing on getting the bikes out for a spin and hitting the rail trails for some adventure and indulging in the local wine culture, whilst finding some caches along the way. A lovely weekend away dodging the weather. Total of 91 finds for the 2 days.

Thanks for the cache

Thank you for the hide, Chrispy!
I love seeing the art on silos. I wonder if these big silos will get a paint job?

A couple of days away with The White Dog Gang .

The bikes were bought along and we did the Rattler, the N E series and a few of the Reisling Trail. Plus any that were near the roads we travelled along.

Thanks to evryone who put out a cache that we found.

Man! I wish i had taken pics of trains up here in the early 80's [900 Class English Electrics]
Silos always remind me of railways and the thought [mentioned] came to mind.

The cache was found and it's log signed at 14:31 on Sat 20 July 2019.

Nice quick find on our way to Burra. Road trip with CrackedChelle.

Haven’t had the chance for any geocaching for ages, and we are on our way out to Burra to assist someone with their telescope software. I’ve found all the caches in Burra, so White Elf suggested we find a few here.

Don’t think I’ve found a chrispy cache before...

No snakes today, so there was no need to shoot myself in the foot (you can kick my butt later, chrispy lol)

A quick find on Easter Monday. TFTC chrispy89.

Wazza9 located the container in the dust storm, signed log and replaced. Thanks to chrispy89. I thought the silos might have been painted.

TFTC,
Clips broken, sitting out a dust storm while having lunch.
Visited trackables.

We soon found this cache once at Ground Zero during some end of the day geocaching before heading off to our overnight camping spot in Saddleworth. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Long weekend in Auburn, this was found on our drive around the area. Cache is safe and dry.... silos need some artwork tho TFTC

Found it. Needs new container as snap lock handles are broken off

And another silo off the list!

The usual troupe of animals from the puzzled puzzlers group, this time on a Wednesday ventured out on this marvelous day to seek yet more of our un-found hides. Today's mission was Clare however we just did not seem to make it with all these other caches that diverted us from our goal.

Another of the Silo's off the list with this easyish hide. TFTC

Picked this one up in our way to Burra for the weekend, enjoying seeing all the country silos TFTC
