Continuing our annual birthday caching trip, Purrfect Di, Mattycat and Jack too coming along for the ride...
This year it's cleaning out Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park and then some surrounds. Something I started back on new year's eve 2012/2013 with two of my sons!

We started today on the trail to Inneston from Stenhouse bay. A nice walk, No snakes. Plenty of caches, and surely I'm losing some wieght in the process!!!

But... DoN'T tHe MaRCh FliES kNoW iT'S JaNUarY

Survived the walk by fashioning a leafy branch into a massive fly swatter to beat our way back to the car! Wow those things are huge and just keep orbiting one's body like a million little satelites... and the ones that get up your nose... yeah don't get me started! Send them back to MARCH!

Anyway we found your caches. Signed the logs. Smiled a lot, and moved on to do some fishy tales too.

Finishing the day with a few fishy ones helped clear a little more of this colourful map!

We are grateful to earthlight for planning and maintaining this cache on our ever growing SA cache map!




---

Travelling all over wherever we can - searching, spotting hidden items and signing cache logs using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just a guess or plain old dumb luck
Heaps of the luck stuff really !!!

*Most of the online logs are composed and published with GSAK of course*.**

Beware ! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, floodwaters, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for bugs !!! . [xx(]

Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - cache the countryside


Great of all those placing quality caches out and about around the country areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

We do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...

TFTC Day 2 of honeymoon caching trip.
Happy caching and safe travels!

Terrific stories of your POP and memories of those days bygone have made this series really interesting! Day 7 in SA after numerous trips were sabotaged due to you know what and its the first day it has not been more than a chilly brisk! The Innes National Park and it’s caches was high on the list along with several other random caches so hoping to tick all boxes before heading back to home base. I’m out on trusty treadles aka my mtb to explore the trails and surroundings. I’ve learnt theRE are plenty of quality SA caches - plenty to pique the curiosity and anticipation of another surprise or fun cache. Happy and relieved to record no DNF’s today and on average most were located ‘relatively’ quickly. TFTC AND THE FUN and the effort to contribute to this fave game

The X-Trailers checked this cache on trail whilst I walked around Inneston doing maintenance. Cache all ok

This was our main attack for the day, we set off from the Marion bay end and headed along the trail finding them, we found all but one cache along this trail. All the other caches are in good order. Watch out for the magpie near the old buildings too.

A big trip away to the yorke peninsula planned for the weekend travelling around touristing and have a look at sights I’ve seen before, plus camping over the 4 days wherever we needed up at the end of the day. Plus why not find 116 caches along the way for the trip. Despite the wind on the first evening the rest of the trip we were delighted by the beautiful weather.

Thanks for the cache

And I kept going along the trail, enjoying the tranquillity and the birds.

Out for a stroll with Southern Cross Caching around Innes National Park. We started walking at Inneston and cached our way back to Stenhouse Bay, following the old railway line and the fire trail spurs.
There was very interesting history here, I was only vaguely aware of the fact that a train used to run along here. It would have been interesting seeing it operating, probably not at shinkansen speeds
The houses around Inneston have been well preserved and it would be good to book one sometime for a stay.

This cache was found using a Garmin GPS 64s at 12:55:00 PM and was 24 of 28 finds today.
Thanks earthlight

Found while caching with Shonkylogic for the day. I came over to start on the power trails but this was a much more inviting thanks for a great trail and enjoyable walk. Cache in good condition.

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Whoop whoop. Great hide

Quick find peppeb’s bud is getting better at this

Found while visiting Innes National Park and staying for several nights in the Inneston Managers Lodge. Today we enjoyed a walk along the tram line on the Thompson Pfitzner Walking Trail from Inneston to Stenhouse Bay, wandering through the mallee with occasional views over the coast on a cool and partly cloudy day. Thanks for the cache earthlight and The X-Trailers!

A nice walk between two very interesting historic towns. Had to be quick on the walk to avoid the afternoon showers. TFTC

Quick and easy find

Nice easy find and saw a family of emu tftc

Cache all ok for next finder

Cute hint! TFTC

Walked 2 kilometres to find this cache... little Disapointed on how easy it was but anyways tftc

First of many I think, thank you

After a week on the power trails with only diversions here and there to pick up other caches we are treating ourselves to a day in the Innes National Park.
A chance to maybe see some wonderful scenery and the native flora and fauna and even a lighthouse or two.
Another straightforward find on this lovely walk.
TFTC

Doing maintenance run along trail today. New log in place.

SWAGJJ again

Team SWAGJJ is visiting the Yorke Peninsula this week to complete the geo art and collect traditionals, multis and other types along the way. Seeing some amazing country side and views as well. Thanks to all the COs for placing these caches.

Yorke Peninsula Day 3: A small break for power trails (after a quick 60 caches from the fishing line...). Then we collected caches around the Yorketown and Edithburgh area and in the Innes National Park. Some spectacular scenery to take in, strong winds to battle on top of cliffs, and another exhausting day. Signed as SWAG-JJ. TFTC!

Day 3 visiting Yorke Peninsula from QLD for a week of caching with geo friends Waz and Vic, Ardom, Gcoven, JACS Team and joojoo57.
Enjoying the SA countryside and the vast amount of caches to find. All logs stamped with our team name SWAG-JJ
A big thank you to all CO's for the time and effort in placing these caches for our enjoyment.

Found as part of SWAG-JJ team. Thanks.

Travelling down from Queensland with my fellow cachers Snickersallan, Waz and Vik, Ardom, Gcoven and JooJoo57. We have planned a week long adventure to collect all the geoart, the fishing line and anything else we can get. Thanks for the cache!

Day 3: A bit of a slower day today, did a smidge of the powertrail, a swag of traditionals and a few other randoms along the way.

Stopped to log this find while exploring the NP. Thank you.

Out for a day in the Innes National Park taking in the sights and grabbing a few caches on the way

Camped at Gym Beach but got blown out with very strong westerly winds. Decided on a walk along this trail to do some caching. Probably not the best day for it...very hot. The march flies were horrendous, made caching a bit challenging....staying still to sign the log gave them an excellent chance to land and bite!!
Thanks for the cache series, excellent walk and interesting history.

Found it!!

TFTC

Last day of the fish series , now all complete. Thank God for that. Tftc, sl, tnln.

Back out with Mr Jackylegs finding traditionals after finishing the fish geoart this morning. Thanks to the CO,S for placing these caches

Today Gary and I wandered around Innes National Park - we loved it! Some of the cache hides were easy, others were more challenging, but overall we enjoyed a wonderful day with fantastic weather.

Thanks for the cache earthlight
------------------------------------------

Woo hoo, the lovely Micaparamedic and I decided we would attend the June Long Weekend Event in South Australia (Edithburgh) and make the most of a road trip to the glorious Yorke Peninsula by spending a week away - NICE! [^]

We particularly enjoyed exploring Innes National Park and focussing on the new earth caches on the YP and in Burra.

Another good cache

Stopped to find a few of these at the begining.
Will return for what appears to be a nice walk, sometime in the future...

#2423 Early on our journey today, it's been a while since we jumped on the geobikes, no doubt we will pay for it later! Another nice quick find here, TFTC The X-Trailers and earthlight.

I went a strollin' along the tramway today
Great weather for it.
And a great tale of yesteryear at every stop [^]

This is geocaching at its best [^]

Tgtc. Walk with the kids.

First we must appologise for the generic logs.

We came to Yorke Peninsular with Speedmistress who hails from Queensland to cache our little hearts out and this we are doing.

We solved loads of puzzles prior to coming and with all the earth, multi, trads and puzzles there are here we were never lacking in variety.

When we found caches that needed repair we have done our best to do what was possible, unfortunately we have now rum out of spare containers, so no more repairs can be done. We have enjoyed the scenery, the walks, the animal life and the challenges that was encountered while traveling the Peninsular. Not all the caches have been attempted due to time restraints but those have been earmarked for future visits.
We also would like to thank Speedmistress for supplying our geocaching chariot.
A huge thanks to all the cache owners for placing these caches for us to enjoy.

On this occassion, I am doing a generic log. I very much enjoyed the series. Some great insights along the way. I have travelled from Queensland to meet up with Muff1 for a Geocaching extravaganza on the beautiful Yorke Peninsular. Our goal to Cache, Cache and Cache. Each day our "finds" have been growing in number, some days more productive then others. We have also been careful to take time to appreciate the natural wonder of the areas we have visited. The variety of caches was interesting, some very clever, some the quick grab they were designed to be. A big thank you to all of the dedicated Cache placers who have made this possible.

Found while on Yorke Peninsula with iluvtrekking. Fortunate to have amazingly clear, warm weather for duration of our stay which made for very pleasant caching. After completing the nearby Fish series we headed into Innes National Park. Besides making a find here, we managed to pick up some ticks along the way, resulting in several bites. Thanks earthlight

Found on day two of our Caching the Yorke Peninsula adventure with richlink.
We love the Yorke Peninsula, the history, the remoteness and we had the most perfect caching weather.
Thanks for the cache earthlight.

Camped at Point Turton, and this morning we headed down to the National Park, with Konie.
We decided to do the walk first, which was very enjoyable, in the cool of the day.
All caches were found reasonable easy, but #10 took us longer than it should have.

Many thanks for placing this cache, earthlight, for us and others to find.

Staying at Point Turton and decided to head south to the National Park and do the caches along the coast today with The Drovers.

We started off with the walking trail which was very interesting with a few tricky hides along the way.

Once the log was signed all caches were returned as found.

Found while staying at Browns beach. TFTC

Already day 4 of the big caching trip[ for this year. Goal is a lot of power trails today, but certainly not forget the caches on the way there from Stanbury and back. Perfect caching weather today, not to hot, not to dusty and a nice breeze to cool off once in a while!

# 9387. After 3 days of GeoArt it is now time for Robmc and me to relax and spend a lovely day in the Innes National Park. The grey start turned into a mild, sunny day that helped turn the ocean into many lovely shades of blue and green. With Spring starting all the plants were putting on a colourful display and I was able to gather some gorgeous old-style freesias to bring back to the accommodation. (They are introduced nuisance plants out here, so just doing the park a service).

The third one on this lovely track this morning. Thankfully we are not going to walk all the way to Inneston but there is one more to gather along here.

Thanks earthlight

Day eleven of the short holiday with Bettyboo3747.
Left our house in Marion Bay for a day's caching.
Spent all of the day in the Innes National Park, using the caches placed as tourist suggestions, it worked out very well.
It felt like we were getting quite a distance into the bush, when a car roared past just meters away Hmm.. path gets close to the road here, hey?
Thanks, Robmc.

Quick search to find this cache. SL TFTC

Todays drive was in the Innes National Park. We travelled with mccamob & pprass signed the log as DIMP.
I have enjoyed walking in your family footsteps, last year I was in the Edithburgh region & today here at Inneston. What a very different way from most people to record their family history, & to teach others of the area.
Thanks for placing this cache earthlight

Found by Mary & David, in company with Di Morgan and pprass (signed as Dimp), at 1045. The nicest weather today since we left home. A nice quick find. Our thanks to earthlight.

Found at 11:15 AM GAFF1 in the company of DiMorgan & maccamob - we signed our names in the log book as "Dimp".
We are really enjoying this area and the day is turning out to be a beauty - so appropriate for our last day on the lower peninsula. A quick dash into the bush and the cache was ours.
Thanks earthlight.

Today was the day we decided to visit Ethel, a grand lady of the sea in her time, but a bit of a wreck nowadays. She had lots of visitors while we were there and she is now silent, but we still learnt a lot from her. We had a great day gaining a few smileys, too.

Quick find on our easter holiday. TFTC

After completing the geoart series by lunch time, we headed into Marion Bay and then into the Inness National Park to explore the area and to cache. Whilst Mrs y'stassie headed along the track from the Stenhouse Bay end, Mr y'stassie drove along the road and was able to get easy access to this cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks The_X_Trailers for the cache and for introducing us to this trail.

Found with Rapidly wild and the ladies of the FurfacesLL on our Yorke Peninsula geoinvasion extra long weekend. The objective: make the nab on the geoart and on as many others as our time and energy would allow Lots of fun and laughs and a great weekend all round!

We'd finished making the collect on the geoart so we were off to see the sights and collect some trads around the National Park. Another quick pick up before moving on

Thanks for the hide, earthlight & The X-Trailers

So the adventure with FurfacesLL ladies, specimenX and myself had begun on the Yorke. We were here to attack the geo-art and what ever else we could get our hands on. 5 days of fun and games, many stories to be shared and a good weekend all in all

This was full day number 3, after a big day yesterday we were back out again to continue hitting the geo-art. Apologies for the generic logs.

It was out to the National Reserve to pick up some more caches after succesfully finishing the geo-art powertrails.

Thanks to all the cache owners who took their time to place the caches we have collected over this weekend. [^]

Our geomission with Rapidlywild and SpecimenX had commenced. This geomission had been in the planning since the new geo-art caches had been placed. The Canberra Day long weekend was chosen to give us enough days to collect as many as possbile. Our target is to get all of the caches in the art works and a few more if possible.

We finished collecting all the art and now it was time to take in the sights of the peninsula and the national park.

Thanks to all the cache owners for placing the caches we had a blast of a weekend!

Good one

Weekend away staying at Marion Bay with Genghicat. Today we decided to cache out Innes National Park and surrounds.

Enjoyed the walk. Nice easy find.

TFTC.

Today was our day of caching in Innes National Park and surrounds. The views were fantastic and the day was lovely - not too bright and not too overcast either. We did have a little bit of rain toward the end of the day, but it all worked out for an absolutely perfect day of caching.

Another easy find along a nice little walking trail. Another one that was spotted by Donna very quickly.

TFTC.

Nice stroll. Enjoying your caches.
