Very grose decaying kangaroo at gps point. Awful smell, Have left it for another time..
Got out off by the dead kangaroo, sadly it was where the app says the geo was so didn't look around much to find out
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. Thanks for the hide LNCU

I had managed to negotiate a morning of caching on a rare day off. The plan was to see how much I could get to before the forecast rain arrived. I decided to travel between this series of caches on two wheels rather than four, and it was nice to get some exercise in.
The info on the cache page was interesting. I can tick that one off (thank you conferences!!). A quick find here. TFTC equipe de cinq

I fear some of these caches have been moved by caches. Anyway, we found it, so all good.Thanks Equipe de Cinque, what a great series. Thanks for maintaining and placing them all
Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure and another very chilly, wet day. Just perfect for geocaching. A quick driveby, all good here 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.

What a day we have had today. The first thing that happened right before my eyes all my maps just disappeared from the GPS, nothing we did would bring them back. Finally after several phone calls trying to fix the problem we ended up on the phone to Garmin who declared that the GPS was terminal. We will be without a GPS for a couple of weeks so it is caching with the phone, yuk. Today we needed to say no to a few of the Forty Winks caches that we had targeted.
The phone has an app on it that monitor’s my heart and I am not allowed to be more than 2 meters from the phone, the terrain was beyond me, if hubby had gone for the caches he would have needed to use the phone, the next thing would be a phone call wondering if everything was OK.
All the caches that we found today were in good condition and the majority of co-ords are spot on. Our finds were a mix of trads, multi and puzzles.

Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the Geodog. Last one for this side of the zero. Still heaps more to go but moving on to one in central Aldinga now. Great series! TFTC
Today we went out to start working through the 40 winks series starting with the Zero!. The day started out warm and muggy and ended with us being very very wet. Dropped and Swapped some trackables along the way. We even passed some other cachers with the same idea as us.
All Caches were in great condition and were found with Cachehunter and Zoe the Geodog. TFTC.

Today I went caching with Poisin55 and Chubly09. We set out to complete the '0' of the 40 winks series of caches by bike and completed it successfully with no DNFs. the 40 is almost finished by us now except for the top of the '4' which the others didn't come prepared for as some long pants and gaiters would be needed and one DNF that is yet to be resolved on the '4' so there are a few left for another time. It was a bit of a hot day for it but it many smileys were gained and Chubly09 hit his 50th milestone and I hit my 200th. TFTC equipe de cinq
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. Tftc!

This area here looks to have been slashed and cleaned up and we did not find a cache. Maybe another time.
Whoo hoo! My 4000th smile
TFTC!
This cache gets a favourite for the milestone and the cute container!

Great Winter's day to explore the area. A must do when embarking on this incredibly interesting set of drive-bys, is a breakfast, coffee or lunch stop at the Biplanes Cafe at the Aldinga airfield. A real treat. TFTC.
Found while out on a beautiful day with Briana
Not written in log book. Snake nearby & snake hole

have an hour to spare between dropping hubby off for the Willunga down hill race and netball
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

puppy dogs across the road did not like us being here! but nice quick find TFTC
In Port Elliot today, out to tackle the 40 Winks series. All caches found in good order, took nothing and left nothing. Thanks to equipe de cinq for the run. TFTC
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
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.
Did u hear me "scream like a girl" with the cockroach on my hand when pulling out container? Thanks, I think
The thing that has been bringing a smile to our face at every cache in this series are the range of caching stamps in the log books. There is always room in all the logs for a stamp and it seems to be the “norm”.
Back home in Bris Vegas there has been some controversy recently about people using stamps in small logs. I am a loud and proud stamper and stamp everything that moves. I wished I had my stamp 26 years ago when I got married to stamp my marriage certificate. I have also contacted my bank to see if I can use my geocaching stamp to withdraw cash in the future. tftc

Found this one on a fun day out with the kids. Log in a well designed container. Nice one. TFTC
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 cache didn't take long to find, in particular using the hint. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I decided to bump up my finds for 29th Feb, seeing as it doesn't come around often, so I headed down south from my home town and spent a day meandering around these areas and just enjoying the day.
Great weather, nice countryside and good caches. Thanks to all the owners, sorry but this is a blanket log.
Lots of scratches from the caches under the ever present bushes, lots of ants, lots of other things which made noises in the bush. I probably should be doing all this in winter - but that is no challenge
Some caches may have specific logs if they need attention, otherwise they were all found in good condition.Thanks for your caches and making my day an adventure.

Returned today after completing one half of this series earlier this year. Most were easy hides but a few caught me off guard. TFTC

Find # 7679
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.

We’re over here for the Tour Downunder and a week at the beach. I started the 4 last year and looked forward to making more progress this year.
Having dropped my husband and son off for the community ride I had a bit of time to myself before I had to pick them up.
I am pleased to say that aside from a couple of DNFs I’ve got a pretty 40 pic on my map now and still made it to the end of the race in time.
Also spent part of the trip chasing a fellow cacher from near home which was rather funny.
Thanks for this cache series. It was a great task.
