Staying in Milicent and geocaching for the weekend. Nice find. TFTC

Thanks - found my youngest

Staying in Penola for a couple of nights. Doing one of the trails today then move over to Millicent to do the others

Having just completed the wine glass series I thought my find map would look untidy if I did not look for and find the few caches in Kalangado and as time was available I started the search. This cache was a quick find.

Found it at

After over seven weeks on the road, I'm back home and finally catching up on all my logging.Caching in South Australia was fantastic, so many good hides to find, and we found ourselves zigzagging all over the place doing lots of geoart but of course ran out of time to get everything done on our to-do list.The majority of caches we found were in great condition and well maintained, which is a credit to all the CO's who placed them, so thank you.Our logs were mostly signed as 5 for QLD to save room on the log sheets, and no doubt, we'll be back again in the future.

Travelling today to the geoart of Millicent. Plenty here today -doing the wine glass and bottle.Caching with and signing as 6 for QLD. RoddyC hatzofff imbunda snickersallan grannysmith1947echocage1.TFTCache Nicko57

Couldn't find the cache today with bdiaw. Lack of service meant I couldn't read the hint either. The CFS truck that was training was spectacular though! Dismal blue sadface!

Day 8 of our loop through Vic and SA then home.

Today fitzy_1965 and I moved from Mt Gambier to Millicent with albida, Sol de lune & smittengranny. We signed as MAFSS to save room. Some of us may have rebelled and signed FAMSS instead.

Our aim was to collect the wine bottle series at Kalangaroo until it was time to check in at Millicent. Then we headed out again to collect as many of the GV2020 series as we could.

All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned.

30,558. Found with minniek, albida33, Sol de lune, smittengranny (signing either as FAMSS or MAFSS to save room and just for fun). After the hordes around Rutherglen it was good to drop down to a group of 5.

Rutherglen Mega and South Australia Trip Day 8. Today we left Mt Gambier and eventually headed to Millicent to start finding the caches we missed out on when we were locked out of the Millicent Mega. We went north and started at Kalangaloo to start the Wine Bottle series with a few bonus caches thrown in. A great series and a lot of fun driving around the area. This was a quick find at GZ. Signed, replaced, then we headed to the next one on the list.

Thanks Nicko57 !!

Southern Autumn adventure Day 9. Post Mega South East SA trip Day 3. Back on the road, the day consisted of getting from Mount Gambier to Millicent via Kalangadoo and many many caches. I left the van in Kalangadoo and climbed in with Smitten Granny. The rest of the team was Sol de Lune, MinnieK and Fitzy_1965. We proceeded to visit the wine bottle and cup series and the pole series. We had lots of fun in amongst dirt roads and rain showers. We even managed a few challenging tree caches. The day ended in Millicent after setting up with a section of the GV2020 Geo-Art that only came to an end as the light faded.

The caching day started here and we found three caches in town today before heading off for the series caching.

Thanks for the cache Nicko57

**Albida**

After the Rutherglen mega, fitzy_1965, albida33, minniek, Smittengranny and myself headed to the Mount Gambier / Millicent region to tackle some of the caches from the Millicent mega that we couldn't' get to.

After a day in Mount Gambier, we headed up for the series around Kalangadoo and stated our assault from there. We headed around til mid afternoon finding cache before it was time to head into Millicent to check into our accommodation.

All caches attempted were found and a day was had by all.

Many thanks to all the CO's....it was good to hear the Millicent mega went well, but even better that we have finally made it across to find the caches.....

The five amigos, minniek, Albida33, Fitzy_1965, Sol de Lune and Smittengranny were out on a real mission today after leaving Mt Gambier. The aim? As many caches as possible before dark . We concentrated on PTs with a few extras thrown in for good luck. The coordinates for many of the puzzles and wherigos had been calculated a couple of years ago when we thought that we would be attending the Mega over here.

All logs were signed either as MAFSS or FAMSS. Thanks to all who were involved in placing and maintaining these trails.

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]

Still catching up on logging so apologies. Geoturtle37 and I have extended our trip for a lot longer than it was planned and this is one of the many subsequent caches found.
Mr Crackers made fairly short work of finding this one.
Thanks for bringing us here with this cache.

I was out and about for some post Mega wind down time. After heading to Dimboola for the weekend I jumped on the end of a convoy to Millicent. Having setup over night it was off to explore today and collect some of the caches from the Mega we couldn’t make it to.

We toured the countryside and very overgrown grass to collect some of the powertrails. This was one of the trads in amongst the trail that we all found. I’ve always loved the name of this town.

Thanks Nicko57 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

6th / 10th April 2023 – GC9MH9M – Rutherglen – Victoria

After not being able to attend the GV2020 Mega, Chook finally made it here in Millicent with Team Vic (or The Vics, or V V R, depending on who had the pen) - consisting of The Tritonz, Papi4506, Geoturtle37, Team Crackers, micaparamedic, Roaming Howie and our honorary Vic GoodLook.

We started this afternoon with some fishing, and once those were all caught, we turned our attention to the Wine Glass and the caches in Kalangadoo. With many eyes looking for this one, it was soon spotted. Thank you Nicko57 for the cache and for bringing us to Railway Park.

We had solved the wine bottle puzzles not long after they came out as we were planning to be at the Mega but that was not possible because of Covid.
So a plan was made to visit with ChooknChunk, Geoturtle37,Papi4056, Goodlook, micaparamedic,The_Tritonz and Roaming Howie we headed off to try our luck at the Millicent caches.

We had now finished picking up the trads and were doing the other caches in Kalangadoo in between the showers of rain.
We pulled up here and saw that there were three locations that this one could be in so naturally we went to the wrong one first and with no luck we then spread out and not too long after the cache was uncovered and again our names have been added to the log.

Thanks GeoVentNicko57 for the cache.

We had a good laugh with Mr Crackers after he found the cache and Roaminghowie played a trick on him. Found today in the company of The Vics.

Thanks Nicko57 for the placement.

Millicent to Penola
Stopped for only one cache on the roadside.
Spending the night at the CMCA cacping ground. This morning we did the ALs.
After lunch we headed south to Kalangadoo & did the wine glass only.
Thanks for placing your cache.

Found quickly!

Didn't find it was it under a lot of bark maybe..

Replaced old container with new container and log book.

Appears to have been under water.
Everything is soaked… log included.
Managed to etch name on a page I could open.
Needs urgent attention
TFTC

First cache for the day. Log is saturated.

Found by Rebel Acts in the company of The Empire.

This was our last day of a great few days of caching around the Millicent and Mount Gambier districts, We had the wine glass to finish before we made the long drive home. A quick coffee and it was go time. Once the Wine glass was complete we cleaned up a few caches in Kalangadoo before heading home.

This is one of the caches found today.

Thanks Nicko57 for the cache.

Found by The Empire with Rebel Acts
Our last day, it was time to make the long trek home to Melbourne... but we STILL had to finish this fun little series before we left! We met up for a coffee, then headed straight out here to find these caches in the morning dew and fog - again, dodging farmers and saying 'hello' to plenty of livestock along the way. Series finished - time to sort out some of those caches in Kalangadoo! Thanks for the cache Nicko57!
- M

Over in SA again with a cut down group of geocaches compared to last time. We felt it was time this group of Victorians found some Millicent caches, as we were banned from the mega! We are signing the logs as Vic1. Thanks for the sometimes challenging caches Nicko57!

Today was day 4 (our last) of a Millicent blitz with McLookers, Alansee, BeckNmonts, Maccamob and Rabbitto, all signed as Vic1.



My thanks to Nicko57 for the cache.

We found this cache today on our Millicent Meander - Day 4 in company of Maccamob, BecknMonts, McLookers, Alansee, and Muzza. We signed the group as Vic1. Today, we head east. Thanks from D & HA B-A

Found by Mary and David, in company with McLookers, beckNmonts, Alansee, muzza, and Rabbitto (signing as VIC1), at at 14:05. Day 4 of our trip, planned to tackle the many caches around Millicent, as we'd been locked down last year and unable to attend GV2020. Our thanks to Nicko57.

In the Millicent area for a few days, we are signing the logs as Vic1. Thanks for placing the cache Nicko57.

Found with a team consisting of BecknMonts, McLookers, Maccamob, Rabbitto, and Muzza. This was our fourth and final day in the area and it was still cold. Today was another fun day caching although it would have been far better to have been able to come to the Mega. Many thanks to the CO's for the placements.

found it

We have been meandering up the Western Australia coast, the Northern Territory, and South Australia, we have finally arrived down south of SA.
Now Catching up on a few smiley’s from our week at GeoVenture2020, Millicent.
Down the Highway and byways, tracks and trails, the geological, historical, the fun geocaches, traveling this great country through the eyes of a geocacher has lead us to some fantastic outlooks.
Thanks to all the COs for placing these Geocaches, it makes the Adventure more interesting.

Day 6 of our stay in Millicent for the Mega event weekend. The target today was the wine bottle and glass, which was completed through the rain and shine thanks to the cold weather.
111 finds for today and 491 for the trip.
All good here.
TFTC Nicko57.

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

Out with Mattycat, Sebastbat and Gem for some caching adventures while attending the Millicent Mega, a quick find for our group today
TFTC Nicko57

Ok

Out and about with goingplaces2 and doing some more caching while at the mega in Millicent.

A quick park and grab.

Thanks for the cache Nicko57.
Found on 3/10/21 at 17:04.
Find #14264.

Today's focus was to find 12 different types of caches in one day and this was one of them
Went out with Otter61 and Oz Grumpy and much laughter and frivolity and hard work was to be had by all - oh ok so the hard work isn't so true but the fun and frivolity happened - TYFTC

Found this cache along with ilook4geo and am pleased to add another smiley to the map. Thanks for this cache go to Nicko57.

A quick find here. I stumped Otter61 by telling him how many trees it said in the description. While he was off on a wild goose chase (as desc was wrong for us) I grabbed the cache and produced the book for signing.

Thanks for the cache, this one was the quick one in town.

Caching the South East with Sebastbat, Jack, **JEM**, and Froghoppin, for an attack on the map area around the much awaited GeoVenture 2020 Did Millicent and Penola and a few places in between, including the bottle, but not the glass. Love the way that changes on the map!!!
Sorry for some fairly generic logs today, it's a lot to get logged on a night after s much driving around LOL But we certainly had a lot of fun finding each and every cache !

Toot toot. No more trains.

Thank you for putting this cache out on the SE SA geomap Nicko57

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

A second big day of geocaching with Ghosty7 and OZGrumpy with the main aim being to get as many types in a day as possible. The weather was against us for parts of the day, but we rose to the challenge and I believe we got eleven.

Home stretch now, so just filling in time with a few extra traditionals before heading back to Millicent. This was an easier one in Kalangadoo.

Quick find and sign.

Cheers and Happy Hunting
Southern Cross Caching

Apologies for the generic log.

Uni and Medusa, Southern Cross Caching, and I ... shonkylogic spent the October Long Weekend in 2021 attending the Easter 2020 Mega Event at Millicent.

Along the way we stopped to find as many caches as we could - because we somehow convinced our better halves not to accompany us. Or perhaps it was because they really don't like caching as much as us.

We came well equipeed in the Pahero, with not one, not two but THREE TOTTs to help us. Even that wasn't sufficient for all the hides, sometimes you just don't have the right tool for the job.
However we had perfect tools for the Fishing series, and then went on to Kalangadoo for the wine series and stopped at a few others, some involving ladders or tree climbing.

We enjoyed meeting up with old friends, in these days of Covid is really is very special to be able to hold an event like this.

Thanks Nicko57 for placing and maintaining the cache

Found at 13:23 during a fantastic extended weekend away with Shonkylogic and Southern Cross Caching. We had grand plans to complete swathes of powertrails and solved puzzles, but the weather slowed us down a bit. Even so, it was a lot of fun, and we passed my goal - to get my 9000th find

Friday, day 1, had us driving and caching from morning in Adelaide until the 6pm event in Millicent.

Day 2 focussed on the fishing series, wine bottle, and numerous other caches in that vicinity.

Day 3 was our slowest, due to the worse weather, but still a lot of fun.

Day four, after doing SFE series and nearby caches, plus those we passed, I arrived home at about 8pm, after finding my 9000th cache along the way.

Great to catch up with many of the usual faces, some others we hadn't seen for a long time, and a few new faces too.


Thanks for the hides

Found it eventually, bjjms 30/9/21

Kids loved it.

Part way thru the wine glass and a few interesting caches to find in this quiet town. TFTC!

OMG it took soooo long to find

Nothing like the whiff of creosote in the morning!

Thanks to Nicko57 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

A nice quick find today. TFTC

Navigation wouldnt settle and took us to the wrong tree but got there in the end!

Today we arrived in Millicent to spend some time finding caches that have been placed for GV2020. There has been a great assortent of places to find the cache containers. Most of the co-ords were acceptable and all the caches we attempted today were found. SL TFTC

This is an interesting park and we enjoyed wandering around finding this cache.
I was with 6hinemoa2 completing the nearby wine caches.
Thanks

Out with feathertop and Tag-along today and stopped here for morning tea. A nice hide in a lovely town. Thanks Nicko57

nice little area,TFTC

Met up with au.fait in this park at Kalangadoo for the first day of 4 of a geocaching trip. We had been finally released from iso in Victoria and we were all keen to get us some caches. We used the clue and some help from au.fait to find this one. Was a bit tricky but cache was found, log was signed and rehidden. TFTC Nicko, all in good condition.

Teaming up with TheRobbos3266 and armed with my entry permit to South Australia we met up in Kalangadoo for our first day of caching in the Millicent area. Today we targeted the wine bottle puzzles which had long been solved. Found most but a few eluded us and only managed a small fragment of the wine glass Weatherwise it was a most unpleasant day with the temperature reaching 39 and an extremely strong northerly almost blowing me over at times. All up a very successful day in great company. Thanks for a great series

Day 7 of our trip to SA and the days are disappearing fast. Great to finally do these geoarts of the wine glass and bottle. Found with Joolay and Kittykatch and signed as Border Busters or BB. Tftc

Quick find once GPS settled.
Staying at an awesome place in Mt Gambier. Today is the day for the wine bottle and wine glass.

On a road trip to South Australia now the border is open with Kittykatch, and barb2e calling ourselves Border Busters or BB. Seventh day of our trip and loving the beautiful green fields and cool day. Awesome day to be out.
