I think we were lucky on two counts here today. The area was very quiet mid morning and I almost put my hand straight on it. Signed log and returned as found. Thanks for the cache
A quick find here whilst caching the Mount, dodging the Christmas pageant crowds!TNLNSLThanks

TFTC. Lots of full logs dating back a while. Cool to look through the archives and squeeze my name there too.
Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on. SA caching foray. Staying in Mount Gambier for a week to grab some of the local hides. Its been sixteen years since since we were last here so enjoying the re-visit. Love the country town caching. Thanks for the hideLNCU
We are travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. We are in Beautiful Mt Gambier for a few days, soaking up the amazing things this area has to offer. We especially love the bush, the back roads, and the wild southern seas. TFTC LNCU.
We were in Portland visiting Dad for a few days and as the weather was not too good today we thought we would head over to Mt Gambia and see how it was here.happily the showers had passed for awhile as we headed to this one.We started this Mountopoly not long after it was published and continued over many visits but never did get to finish it. This cache was a reminder of work put in and the fun we had doing what we did.Today this turned into a reasonably quick find and we have added our name to log book.Many thanks again SE_SA_Geocaching for the hide and the original great idea for a series.
Used previous find log to give us a hint and consequently, fast find. Tftc from Yorkshire England
We had been through here about 2 days ago, but didnt realise there was a cache here. Now was a good time to look as it was getting dark and was pretty quiet. I looked up one end with the torch but my youngest daughter checked about half way along and found it.
TFTC! 28 December 2023 1:44:21pm 6680Thanks for the cache. Stopping in Mt Gambier for some caches before into Millicent.
Found! On holiday from vic tried to find it, went to the sink hole, came back and got it!
Having arrived at GZ I looked around and had a suspicion as to where it might be hidden. Aligned my phone to the right angle to have a closer look and BINGPOT! Log signed and cache replaced.
Thanks for the Traditional Cache SE_SA_Geocachers

Abandoned when a homeless guy (other than myself) took an active interest. Nice spot but pick your moment.
SL at 11:06am. Day out with bdiaw. Well for me this certainly took longer than it should have. I have been looking for this one for months. Every time I went to the library, with no luck! I bring bdiaw here and he finds it in under 15 minutes!

After a day out with flirtinwithdanger. Found this one. Was a good hide. GZ kept changing. But it’s obvious. Keep it up!
TFTC SE_SA_Geocachers for your cache Mountopoly - The Angel Islington which we found today. We have been camped at Penola for the past week enjoying the area and the caching. Today we decided to head to Mount Gambier. The aim was to complete the Adventure Labs and to complete some more of the multis and solved puzzles. We would also attempt any other caches close by. We succeeded in finishing all the Adventure Labs as well as 13 other caches. A great day.
Find count: 15500

On a camping road trip to the Grampians, Mt Gambier and surrounding areas. We are now camping at Fort O'Hare Camping Ground in Dartmoor. Today we again headed interstate to explore the Mount Gambier area and we picked up a couple of caches while doing so. After visiting the nearby Cave Gardens we wandered around to find this cache which was not too far away. This afternoon the area was pretty much deserted so we could easily search and while Mr Pooky had the right idea it did take a bit to find and it was a stretch to retrieve. TFTC and showing us more of the area.
Last time I was in this area it was market day and I didn’t feel comfortable looking for the cache with so many muggles around.
No such trouble today once all shops were closed.

Quick find this morning with only a few muggles in sight . found in the obvious spot but it took a long arm to reach it!

Spent a few minutes poking around various places, but with all the muggles around we eventually gave up.
Wasn’t in the obvious spots, so I’m not sure where it was…

Found it, but took some searching, I had the right (logical) spot, but wasn’t looking quite far enough. Thanks for the cache SE_SA_Geocachers
Logging old caches originally found with alphag_25. Now have my own account and logging them separately so that I can claim the finds.
Weekend away at Mt Gambier for The Australian Foxhunting Championship and some caching. Great area. Thanks for placing the caches.
We are finally able to travel interstate without heaps of loops to jump through. We thought we would take it easy and have a look around South Australia and grab a few more LGA's while we were here.
We were staying in Mt Gambier overnight and after setting up at the nearby caravan park we went for walk into town. I spotted this on on the GPS as we headed to the cave gardens. It didn't take too long to spot.
This was find number 3 for the day.

Out for a long weekend road trip with an owl and a dragon.
Then there was time for another one more cache on the way back to the car.
Thanks for the cache SE SA Geocachers.

A trip to Mount Gambier had been organised with Doctor Owl and sushilord to visit the owl's aunty and of course it was going to be a caching trip as well. [^]
After checking in to our accommodation we headed out for something to eat and after completing a few stages of a couple of Adventure Labs we were close to this cache so stopped off to find it. The cache was found after we all looked in different places.

It is market day as we pause here on our journey home from Paringa to Tasmania. About 3 minutes is enough for me at a market, so add my CotE continued, I took a look st the map to see what is hidden nearby. This one popped up just 20 metres from where I was standing, and in spite of the huge number of muggles I was able to make and replace the find without being "sprung".
GPS was jumping around all over the place so I let my geosenses lead me to the hide. TFTC
Couldn’t tell if the GPS was playing up or the coordinates were slightly out, but The Teddies and I eventually found it! Logbook is also pretty full
Was where I expected but took a little longer to find than it probably should have. Had to put my face right in front of it to spot! Thanks for the cache.
An evening walking around the city centre as the sun went down. Spotted this one under the light of the torch. TFTC
On our way back to the unit with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) after a nice dinner at the Irish Pub, we decided to have a go as there were no muggles about. Arrived GZ and after a short search, had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H). We'd had dinner and a few ales at a nearby pub and as there weren't any muggles around we decided to try for this one. It took a little while for the GPS to settle but once it did we had CIH. Log signed and all replaced and we headed back to our accommodation. TFTC.
A bit of a walk around after coffee at a local coffee shop and we zeroed in on this cache

A quick find in between muggles. Great spot.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice day of 21deg to cache around the town. Busy here earlier so a return visit on sunday at 6pm and we had the place to ourselves, TFTC!
I had a hotel voucher I needed to use which was due to the lockdown last year postponing the Millicent Mega event. This weekend was our best option for travel and with the borders just opening up again a few days before I was worried I would need to postpone the accomodation again. Luckily the border opened and an awesome 3 day trip was made. This would also free up some time for when the Mega is on again in October by collecting a lot of what we wanted to this trip.
After a couple of morning tree climbs and then completing the GV2020 geo-art we headed up this way mainly to do the WhereIGo caches but Fleabag- got distracted and we started on this section of the trad wine glass. While we were here we then also went and found all the WhereIGo caches as well with a couple in fairly obscure locations.
Once the WhereIGo caches were done we headed back to Mt Gambier and we had a bit of a wait before our dinner booking time so wandered around town looking for whatever we came across.
Nice and quiet on a Sunday arvo so this was a fairly quick find by Fleabag.
Thanks SE_SA_Geocachers for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Spiffy-, my geopartner and I headed over to SA - Milicent. We had hotel vochure to use from the first lockdown and border closure and Labour Day weekend was our best option. We had many puzzles solved and interesting caches to find in this amazing part of Australia.
Another cache found freestyling while building an appetite for dinner.
Thanks to SE_SA_Geocachers for the placement and fun.
