Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Aldinga for a few days and ranging from there to grab some finds. Scored another beautiful day after a couple of chilly ones. Love these country roads - our type of caching. Replaced log sheet n plastic bag in wedge of tree. Thanks for the hide LNCU
On the way to the airshow, we thought wed walk and skip the traffic which lead to the finishing of 40 winks tftc
A fun stroll, enjoying the wildflowers. Thank you for the hide out here. Logging with DeafPVC. A nice resting spot here
I decided to go out for the day around the Aldinga and McLaren Vale area for caches before sir_spectre's Gemmel Tassie Reserve CITO.
It was good to finally get this series done as it was the first series I noticed when I signed up for Geocaching, 3 and a half years ago...
It was good to walk along here instead of the constant 200m drive then getting out, signing and repeat.
I set off along the geotrail and after a few laps around the tree the cache was eventually spotted and signed as "Goldy".
Thanks equipe de cinq for this cache and series, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3307 on the 29th of July 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!**

On our way back we gave it a second look. We broaden our search and found it on the ground. New log, and container in good nick, so hope it isn't a second cache! Thanks team
Spent too long circling the wrong tree.
TFTC equip de cinq!
I replaced the cache ( broken lid) and the soggy logbook.

Found while working nearby. Only just read previous comments, still no lid. Log was slightly damp but not too bad. Tftc
Tftc, could not locate at the co-ordinates. Branched out. Found at a close by tree and Bolinger has a lid. Looked back on logs to see this was noted be besbeth. So did not have replacement with us.
Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure and another very chilly, wet day. Just perfect for geocaching. Went for a walk and found this cache. TFTS.
We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs & wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

Out for an afternoon of caching. Really enjoyed working through the forty winks series here! Most were quick finds with the help of the hints. On foot from #9 here. A quick find once I arrived.
Had these 3 on my to do list for some time, parked up and made the walk in, caches are all good
Today I headed down south to Mclarenvale/Wilunga/Aldinga to find some of the new caches published in the last 6 months plus a few others along the way, total of 58 for the afternoon.
Thanks for the cache

As it was such a beautiful day we decided to go for a walk and finish off the last 3 in the series. Tftc
Chasing numbers for a serious milestone so today set my sights on a series I've long wanted to do but never got around to, the 40 Winks series. Found 37 and replaced 4 which were almost certainly missing.
Thanks to equipe de cinq for putting out this cache for me to find

Feels a bit strange walking alongside wheat in this part of the southern vales.
TFTC and series.

Spending a few days in Wallunga as part of our trip to SA after borders were opened up to NSW and QLD. Today was the day to find the 40 Winks and a few extra caches near by. Many thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches and enhancing our enjoyment of caching.
Out and about geocaching today, while staying in Willunga from Brisbane. Decided to cache art, '40'. Due to the number of caches in this series I am doing a generic cache. Thoroughly enjoyed doing these caches, even those ones that had to be walked. TFTC equipe de cinq
Went for a Geowalk on my own today. I have been paranoid about snakes at this time of year, but the weather was cold. This was a simple find in beautiful area. Found an Echidna nearby.
So this was a fairly full-on solo geocaching day for me today, and I wanted to make the most of the terrific weather that had the right temperature, sun out and blue sky. The plan was to head south to tackle some of the power trails / series, and for the most part, that was achieved. My day started at Seaford, and then it was a run along the creek finding the *Real Aliens* series. I then diverted towards the ocean, to find a nemesis oldie and enjoy a run along Moana's cliffs. A selection of the *Cats and Dogs* series were detoured past, before a break at Aldinga's bakery. Next was the *Forty Winks* series, and then back towards the ocean to enjoy a few caches at Sellicks Beach. It was getting to late afternoon by the time I drove through Myponga, and targeted a few hiking geocaches around there, and back towards Sellicks Hill. By this time, it was dark, and so made my way home, having utilised this great weather as best as I could.
I'm normally not the fan of power trails, especially doing these solo, but whether it was the weather, or obvious cache hides, I actually quite enjoyed driving around these, and the nearby airport made it even more enjoyable. I managed to find these caches in two waves (early afternoon, and towards the evening), with a few DNFs in amongst the series. This was the second phase of driving this series, and with it being dark after the sun had set, I pretty well had these roads to myself.
I didn't realise that this whole road section was blocked off, but I did note some tracks that were driving around the dirt hill blockade that had been established. Perhaps they belong to locals, or other Geocachers? So it turned out that these last three caches in the series were also done as drivebys. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Out and about with LiB and kkrafter on a day caching that was a little cool and damp with patches of sunshine...
Finishing the 40 series today was my goal...
LiB dropped kkrafter & me at one end and picked us up at the other end...
A pleasant stroll down the motorbike track...

Find # 7684
Found while on the annual Trip to South Aurstalia for the Tour Down Under Bike race.
All week I've been travelling with Tyred n Cranky, but today I dropped them off in Myponga, as they were participating in the "Challenge Tour" with over 3000 other riders.
As every year, when I drop them off, it starts a caching day for me.
This year I had the 40 series on the GPSr ready to go, and a few others around the area and on the way to Strathalbyn, where Tyred n Cranky would be crossing the Finish line and where I had to pick them up.
While doing the 40 I came across another cachers log, wow they were from Horsham, and after a few messages, it turnec out we were doing the same thing. The dropp off of family members, caching the area, picking up family members. A weird coincidence so far from home.
Sorry for the generic log. All caches were found safe n healthy unless otherwise stated.
