Found by gmj3191 as we explore this beautiful part of the world. Thanks for bringing us here.
Find #8,954 for me, on 22 Nov 2024 1:58pm. The weather was Overcast Clouds 26C 44% 7 m/s . Found with PamJ during our stay in Millicent. We Victorians were barred from attending the Mega during the Covid period, so this is a catchup visit to Millicent and the surrounding area. It's now a clear sistema . Thanks Nicko57 for your contribution to the game. *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Millicent for a few days to grab some finds placed for the ill fated Mega 2020. There have been some newer caches and puzzles collected too. Thanks for the hide. LNCU
Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. We are staying at Millicent for the week and caching in Beachport for the day. Thanks for the cache. LNCU
May 19, 2024 10:24 AMHeading home today to Ballarat after a couple of days spent in Robe. A quick stop here in Beachport for a look around and a coffee. What better place to check out the town and surrounds than here at the lighthouse. Cache found after a short search, undergrowth was a bit tricky. TFTC.
Staying in Beachport so Mr could windsurf for a couple of weeks. Morning stroll to find some caches before the heat sets in. TFTC
6 months ago, during a frenzy, we said to ourselves "why not going to the mega in Adelaide for the leapday". From scratch we moved on to preparing an 18-day project in Australia. Our objectives are simple, visit a small part of this immense continent while validating a few caches. There are so many caches (impossible to do everything) that we will select. Our plan will allow us to visit Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Mount Gambier and finish in Adelaide for the famous Mega.During our stay we will log PestiHoot for Pestinette and Blackhoot.After a night AT Mount Gambier, WE take road. WE do some stop for some cache.WE meet other geocachers on the way to the mega. Easy Thanks for cache and the discovery of beautiful or original spots

Then depending on the time that we will have left at each of our stages, all caches allowing usto visit a nice new place.We only visited a tiny part of this beautiful country which makes us want to come back although it is not next door and I would also remember the warm welcome of Australians and their kindness.I sincerely thank all the poseurs without whom the exploration of all theseplaces known or much more discreet would not have been possible. A big thank you for your personal investment for the pleasure of all and ours in particular during this beautiful trip shared in friendly company ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~**Against a sedentary lifestyle, geocache!

Day two on a SE SA short trip with The Morris.
About lunchtime we drove up to Beachport, and completed a few AdLabs and several caches.
Unfortunate. the pier was being worked on so we couldn't finish that AdLab.
We started this run doing the Lighthouse AdLab stage, then when we got back to the car realized that there was a trad and virtual along this trail.
This trad was first,
Thanks, Robmc.

We headed over the border with Robmc, the campers and the bikes for 4 days of caching. We had a coupe of days of fabulous weather and the rain held off for most of it.
Day 2 we left our camp at Tantanoola and spent the morning the pines and then headed to Beachport to do the AdLabs and tour around. We were thwarted by pier repairs and the lack of a fish and chip shop but it was a sunny afternoon and all caches were in good condition and except for one, readily found.
Thanks for contributing to a great few days of caching.

We love light houses (our last cache hide we put out is at Devonport lighthouse)

A week away exploring the area with 2beez.
When we first arrived here there was huge thunderstorms and the lighthouse was on. We opted to come back. Still got rained on but much safer.
Thanks Nicko57 for placing for all to enjoy.

Away for a couple of days with Featherwaite.
We concentrated on Kingston, Robe, Cape Jaffa, Beachport and Southend.
We mainly found all the cache we were looking for.
Funnily enough I was here a month ago with geowife but didn't really do any caching. A lot of spots visited today were revisits.
A quick find.

A magnificent walk to the viewing platform past the lighthouse. Great views of the coast from the platform.
Followed the instructions and located the Geocache without too many difficulties.

Heading home after a few days in Millicent and stopped off for this one, however after what I thought was a good search I couldn't locate it. Good chance it is still there and I've just missed it...so will visit again one day.
Thanks anyway....

Out and about across several days with a fun caching crew that consisted of ChooknChunk, Team Crackers, micaparamedic, RoamingHowie, Papi4506, and GeoTurtle37.
The laughter, frivolity, cheeky comments, deep and meaningful conversations, drinking, eating, caching, dust, long grass, the spectacular Andrew (RoamingHowie also known as the human ladder) taking one or two or three for the team (geocaching certainly got him wet) , then there was Rob (Papi), his climbing skills and agility was second to none - amazing!! [^], and what Jo could do with a pole is impressive! [:X]
Life has been a little challenging lately (as it has been for many), but this geocaching trip instantly injected some nature, connection with others and different scenery into the mix (with the silliness and laughter) - just what the soul needed.
Thank you to those who placed the caches and then a special thanks to those who maintain the caches that we found. [:X]

This cache was found quickly as we made our way out to the virtual. Thanks for placing it for us to find.
I was out and about for some post Mega wind down time. After heading to Dimboola for the event weekend I jumped on the end of a convoy to Millicent. Today was a more relaxed day of finds with the group splitting and adventuring all over the place at times.
We toured the countryside enjoying the adventure. These were generally logged in individual names, unless space was an issue and it was VVR (Vic Vapor Rubs). The group today included Team Crackers, Papi4506, GeoTurtle37, micaparamedic, chooknchunk, Goodlook and myself.
After enjoying lunch nearby we began a loop of Beachport to collect some caches and explore the sites. A great view of the lighthouse from here.
Thanks Nicko57 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

After not being able to attend the GV2020 Mega, Chook finally made it here in Millicent with her fellow Vics: The Tritonz, Papi4506, Geoturtle37, Team Crackers, micaparamedic, Roaming Howie and our honorary Vic GoodLook.
Today was Day 3 of our trip and the targets were Lake McIntyre, Southend and Beachport. What a lovely place Beachport is. Really enjoyed all the views and the places the caches took us to. After a yummy fish n chips for lunch, we headed off to see the lighthouse. TFTC Nicko57.

Very dangerous had scrap with the baby rattle in hospital with minor injuries good luck but be careful. My little son luckily didn’t get bitten.
Decided to do a spontaneous day caching trip seeing as the weather is kind and I have the day off. Such a cute little waking trail
