I wandered around the scrub a bit, then went back to the first place I looked, and there it was! I was thinking that it may have washed away in recent flooding, but it is in a safe spot. TFTC
Flies. Glorious flies!!! Cool hide, bit of bush bashing but fun timesTFTC
We decided adding an extra few hours to the drive home for some caching wouldnt hurt. Nice cache
Thanks for repairing cache Granny Getz. Onto Peterborough to get that one on steam train 3rd go.
Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. Today, we are caching along the road from Hawker to Peterborough. Thanks for the cache.
Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders Ranges. Now travelling through to Peterborough picking up finds along the route. Thanks crispy89
Another day grabbing a few caches while staying in Jamestown and caching towards Orroroo and surrounds.
Many thanks for the hide chrispy89

Nice quick park and grab here today, TFTC and maintaining this hide for us and others to enjoy!
Replaced container, dried off the swag and put a dry log in it. My socks are full of prickles, I’ve swallowed 1,000 flies, a few truck drivers think I’m lost but I FOUND IT!!
See photo for the old & the new.
Cheers.

Log and contents very wet.
Only one clip on container therefore not watertight.
Couple of big itty bitties keeping it company.

On our travels stopped to collect this cache as previously stated the log is wet wet wet, but still managed to sign, geo hubbys hawk eye made it a quick find, thanks for placing this cache
We definitely missed it, even with GPS, drove straight past before the "wait, it's back there" moment. There were lots of "nothing to see here folks" waves to the extra public holiday traffic going past which we couldn't avoid. Cache was found after expanding the search area but the contents were waterlogged so log was difficult to sign. A missing clip on the lid is preventing the container from being sealed properly.
Found during a caching trip to SA's mid north staying at Orroroo for two nights and Jamestown for one night. Another circuit of caching completed while out for the afternoon around Orroroo. Thanks for the cache chrispy!

Geo hubby Animal62 & I decided to grab this cache on our way home to Clare even though it’s getting a tad late. But there’s always enough time to grab just one more, right?

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021!
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]
DAY 4: Grab a few move solved puzzles and head to Terowie.
Another quick drive by for us.
Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

Holiday time, a week in the Flinders Rangers with sir_spectre and Jacknor. We had lots of fun, walk and of course found some caches. Today we packed up the camper and started to head for home early, strangely it took 13 hours to get home... Today we did lots of cache maintenance replacing cache containers and adding logbooks.
Thanks to chrispy89 from mogni

Good to chance upon wingless when we arrived at intersection. Took a while but four hunters is faster than two. Tftc
On our way to have a look at the old Black Rock railway bridge, and we planned to bag this cache along the route. As we approached we noticed two cyclists and presumed they could be Bruce and Marg, after seeing their logs around Peterborough. Introduced ourselves, talked about our travels and made a joint find here. Thanks crispy for the hide.
In Peterborough for the weekend with Bron, a occasional muggle cacher...
Today was the last day of our trip but before heading for home we had a few more caches to get...just one more
Arrived here but not far enough up the road so I walked about 50m to GZ and located the cache after a short search...
One day I hope to get to Broken Hill...another place I have not visited...

A nice road by stop, not going to broken hill though.
On the way to the finders rangers for a few days with Kalebclark stopped along the way to collect a few caches as well as do some site seeing.

We have had a few camping trips away this winter, we have it down pat now. Lots to pack but its worth it to get away and enjoy the countryside. This weekend's adventure was to Orroroo, a bit further to drive but as we had enjoyed Quorn so much at the JLWE we decided to venture out this way again.
We only had time for a few caches on the way there so we could set up camp before it got dark. We enjoyed the drive and arrived to Orroroo camp site with enough time to collect the multi in town and still have the tent up and a beer overlooking the golf course as the sun set. Not bad for a Friday arvo!
Quick stop and grab here. TFTC chrispy89

Accurate coordinates and an obvious hide location led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks chrispy89 for the cache.
Found by The Marathon Man and pnutbeagle on our 3-month Australia holiday after travelling from snowy and cold Northern Ontario Canada.
With the replacement motor home being delivered to the caravan park in Peterborough, SA in the evening before, we were able to leave in the morning.
The cache was found as we travelled from Peterborough, SA to Minnipa, SA

I don’t think we will be travelling that far today. Although it was very tempting to keep going. TFTC
Your decision. We headed to the lookout.
Thanks chrispy89 and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Found this afternoon on my epic return trip to Perth via Mt Gambier and Renmark, possibly with a few more detours to be thrown in. TFTC
We have been travelling since January when we left Geelong and travelled up the centre to Darwin
We crossed the border into WA at the start of May and completed the gibb river road and cape leveque , the highlights of our travels
Since Broome we have zig zagged from coast to inland and seen some amazing things and also done some great things
When we crossed the Nullarbor we decided to go back to Alice Springs to see our daughter who works there
Now on our way home but first to visit another daughter in Bendigo

I was travelling from Broken Hill to Port Augusta, targetting caches at reasonable intervals to break the journey. Found the cache, then had to wait around 10 minutes for roadworks just up the road.
My thanks to chrispy89 for the cache.

On our way north, Orroroo seemed a nice place to spend the night as it was getting dark and the Roos were getting active!
Quick roadside find.
Signing together as Team Mattycat.
Found along with Jack and Sebastbat.

Found by Mary & David at 1340. Surprisingly, our two Garmins and the TomTom played happily today. In Port Augusta tonight. Our thanks to chrispy89.
Catching up with late logs
Heading down from Cameron Corner slowly making my way south I found so many caches in Orroroo that I decided to camp the night and grab some more before I left this morning.
That completed I was again heading south.
I can see how you could miss this turn off if you were not paying attention, but today I did not need to turn and had the GPS telling where to stop.
There was surprisingly a very low volume of traffic out today but that made the search easy.
The GPSr guided me directly to GZ and the cache was soon in hand and the log book duly signed.
Thanks once more chrispy89 for the cache.

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.
Arriving in Petersborough late yesterday for 2 nights. We booked in for the 'bundle' tour at the tourist bureau and thoroughly enjoyed the night tour and now the day tour! What a highlight and not to be missed on any visit to Petersborough
Now out caching in the freezing winds, we set off with a list of nearby caches when the phone went 'bing' with a message from a friend to advise of a nearby FTF. hmmm not in the original target area, lets see how we go! Well we zigged and zagged adding double the number of caches to our original list on back gravel damp roads and finally back at camp 5pm.
We found your cache in good order.

Owl missed a stack of caches, just to keep Eagle happy, but this one was just over there, so needed to be found.It took longer to avoid all the traffic than to find the cache!
Took a bit of beating around the bush to find it, but we checked the right one in the end. TFTC.
