Mountopoly - Oxford Street Mount Gambier, South Australia, Australia
By SE_SA_Geocachers on 16-Mar-13. Waypoint GC47R5H

was occasionally a tricky hide, but prob gone, time to go.

In the Mount for a weekend of fun, caches and laughs, with Doctor Owl.
We enticed Bower bird out for a few caches before Church.
Alas another DNF.

Searched the bushes without success. Might be under all that leaf litter, but it was too wet to be enthusiastic about it.

Catching up on logs , found with relle77 .

Lunch nearby and didn't even need to move the car to get to this cache, hmm, if only all caches were so conveniently placed for us food lovers.
Another Mountopoly knocked off our list.
Thanks SE SA Geocachers for the cache. YNLNSL

Too rugged for us today. We followed the hint but very rough and prickly.

First for another day in Mount Gambier. Thanks for placing here SE SA Geocachers.

Petite série de cache avant le petit déj.
TFTC and Hey from Switzerland

Found it

Suscoe's 7th find of the day.
A nice hide here and all was quiet when we were here.
Thanks to the SE SA Geocachers for placing this one here.

Today, we drove from Mount Gambier to Portland, but not before grabbing a few caches.

Cache was located quickly, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for placing this cache, SE_SA_Geocachers, for us and others to find.

Just what I needed....... a nice and easy find after driving from Adelaide to Mount Gambier after a couple of DNFs elsewhere.

TFTC SE_SA_Geocachers

A quick drive by, great series put out by a great bunch of people

Found while in the mount for a couple of events tftc

An easy find pn a Saturday afternoon. Convenient parking nearby. Left pathtags. TFTC

This one didn't take too long, it was all over in about 3 mins. TFTC

Found it but lid was off and no log book just had to write name on a normal peice of paper. Near by was geocaching label. Tftc

When we saw the vegetation we decided not to spend too much time at GZ as we were not keen to bashing through plus 1 mtr high bushes. And it is a high muggle area with the liquor shop close by.

Staying in Mt Gambier for a few days of relaxation with the hubby and geokids (age 4 & 6). Naturally I had to pick up a few caches in this cache filled town! We came to the nearby pub for tea as it had a playground for kids. Luck had it that there was also a cache here! We soon found cache but retrieval was a little harder. Very very prickly. Hubby did the deed in thongs (he's a keeper). A smilie for us then a most yummy dinner followed. Many thanks

No luck with this one. Not sure what we missed but don Bourke would be proud

Taking the geo kids caching during the school holidays, while towing a 24 foot caravan. We'll grab every opportunity to grab a cache.Up early with no muggles, this made for an easy find.
Thanks again SE_SA_Geocachers for placing this cache for us to find.

Day 2 of our trip to Mount Gambier and while geodad worked, geo mum slept in and so geobro and I went caching in Naracoorte for a short while prior to picking up Moneydork and then Tounga and so with the geo family back together we all headed for the Mount.
We cached together on the way but once at the Mount, geodad was back to work and geomum shopped then rested so geobro and I cached again until we picked up Moneydork and Tounga and then we all cached until later that night.
All up, I had only 5 DNFs for the day and 37 cache finds

With the whole geofamily in the car after tea we came and found this cache.
Took just a while to find the right way in but there it was

A second Mountopoly cache find.

We came, we found, we signed.

Thanks for the cache SE SA Geocachers.

Quick easy find

Initially we went to the wrong side of a fence. Once on the right side, a short hunt soon had the cache in hand. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache SE_SA_Geocachers.

On the way past to pick up the biggeo-son from a birthday pool party (yes in the middle of winter! Ha ha!!) Thought we'd stop and grab a cache! Dodgy phone GPS put us on the wrong track to start with but a peek at the hint and a couple of logs and we were on to it! Sent the little geo-son in for it!
Made a little swap and left a calling card TFTC

Easy one made easier from the last persons tracks. Swaps made.

Nice quick and easy cache today on a trip around town with Jantoshys.

Catching up on some very late logs.
This was our last day of our caching visit to South Australia but still hoping to grab a few more before getting to Portland.
As we have said before we are really enjoying this game a great concept with the different hides in different locations.
It may take us longer than most to finish this game but we enjoy collecting a few each visit.
Thanks once more SE_SA_Geocachers

Enjoying our travels around Mount Gambier

Found this one this morning. This is find number 200 for us. TFTC. We must come back to Mt Gambier soon to do a few more caches.

Found! Parked the car with no other muggle mobiles around but once the hunt started 2 blokes who were behind a big truck talking came around the other side. I found the cache fairly quickly but had to wait until they turned their backs so I could walk out. Nothing to see here

Find #1167

#13 Found on a lil caching adventure while on my random unplanned weekend getaway to the Mount. Joined forces with jorden29 for a night run.
Previously had a DNF here so it was nice to grab a smiley this time round.
Time- 8.30pm.
Took & left nothing.
Cheers & T.F.T.C =]
Hoppy caching!

Not many muggles so nobody noticed us scrabbling around in the bushes, although it was not where we first thought. Took Franz TB to keep hubby Frans company for a while. TFTC

Found this cache with Tassie Trekkers while looking around Mt Gambier. TFTC

Found on our "Making Memories" tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored Mount Gambier and surrounds with Whitewebbs using geocaching as our guide.

Many thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.

Looked in the usual places, but couldn't find for a while. Turns out I literally couldn't see it for looking! Left TB Franz, but no sign of the Virgo TB. Tftc.

Think we had right GZ but very over grown and wet today. Will try on another visit

Followed the path crawled around under the bush found suitable spot no cache TFTH

To us a while to put this one back as we had many interruptions. Tftc.

Thanks for the hint, but I still found the pickly bush, then the cache. Gee time for a drink after a long day at the Hospital LOL, then heading back home after working here for the week.

Quickly located on an evening adventure with mogni!!

Found the prickles and soon after found the cache. Its not a banksia, its a callistemon also. TFTC.

Found this one hard... but worth the effort... ! A CLUE...!
Thankyou all you SE Cachers... this is just one brilliant series.

What a wonderful cache container . We caught a pair of fellow cachers arriving just as we were leaving, or, did they catch us [?]. TFTC

Having a fun 3 days caching the area
Met lots of nice people and found some great caches
took TBs for a visit

Found on The Joy of SECS weekend along with Astro, Freddo, four-fun & Team Waldron.
Great spot, cool cache.
TFTC

Found with help from the visiting Adelaide cachers. It wasn't my first look. Not quite sure how I missed it the first time.

Thanks guys.

This cache was found on the Joy of SECS Tour 2013. Thanks for the cache. Our group had a lot of fun this weekend. We were in a rush today and there was more caches to find. Woot.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found when on 'The Joy of SECS' tour/assault along with Freddo, Astro, Team Waldron & White Dog Gang. Much fun was had, very wet boots were experienced and many caches were found including this one!
Cheers & TFTC [^]

Found on a 3 day trip to Millicent.
Caching with Cabbos and the x-trailers having a great time.

TFTC

Loved buying up the Green ones as a kid.

Cache found on the Joy of SECS tour with four-fun, Freddo, thewhitedoggang and Team Waldron. There were a stack of boxes to find so we pushed on. We even had a quick round of Mountopoly and a couple of Powertrails to add to the fun. The weather was cool and sometimes icy so wet boots were the order of the day.


Thanks to SE_SA_Geocachers and clear skies from TeamAstro.

A 3 day caching expedition with Freddo, Astro, WhiteDogGang an Four Fun.

Apologies for the generic log but we did a few trails and some of the Mountopoly series. We also did most of the BLE series.

The mozzies were full on at times and it rained most of the first day.

TFTC

Visiting Millicent for the space event and visiting family for a few days we did some caching while we were here, ouch ouch and double ouch them prickles are hell, after looking in the wrong spot i changed spots and soon had the cache in hand, no TB was there and i do believe this is a bottle brush and not a banksia so this threw me off as to where to look, was there a banksia there at one point ? cache is in good condition and we now have one more of the mountopoly series marked off TFTC

TNLNSL TFTC!

Geo dad went out to find this one quick and easy find now for a quick refreshing drink

Working my way around the game board.. a good excuse to 'whip up to the Mount' to fill in calandar days.. Loving the series thank u.. TFTC

What a great London tour across Mount Gambier, we enjoy this caches and we like the with full of engagement built boxes, thanks for this game.
Magirus from Switzerland

We drove right past this cache on Friday night when we went to dinner at the South Eastern Hotel, but didn't have the GPSr with us then. This morning I ducked out of the motel to log a couple of close caches as Mrs J was packing ready to head back home.

All nice and quiet here today, but it still took some time to see the cache amongst the undergrowth. A bit of a trail is starting to form here. Signed the log and recorded the clue, then off to claim House #3 before checking out and heading back to Morphett Vale.

Thanks SE SA Geocachers.

TFTC

TFTC. Absolutely love this series. You have put a lot of effort and time into this series. It was appreciated today (especially by the kids).

Last cache for the Mount heading back home tomorrow. TN "left rhino" SL, TFTC

Day 30 of August Challenge. Left early this morning as geokids had a "student free day", we started with this one that we had on our list of mountopoly's to do. Quick & easy find this morning after muggles had left the area. TFTC

Tftc. Muggles around, just told them the kids were playing in the bushes.

good hide there was a few muggles,
left travel bug

Tftc!

This one proved very difficult as it was done at night, following a brief rainstorm... So clever haha. All of this as well as doing our best to stay on dry land proved worthy when we plucked the GC from the cold, wet, prickly, itchy position. Thanks SE_SA _geocachers for my wet socks attained during this one

Found @ 02:29 AM (under the close supervision of one of our fine members of our local police department; apparently 2 grown men snooping around in some bushes out the back of a pub looks suspicious :/ haha)
01/07/2013

Got the perfect parking spot for this one. TFTC

Found it with Miami vice

Found under the cover of darkness.

Nice easy find on a not so busy day but still had to dodge a few muggles TNLNSL thanks for an easy cache on what turned out to be a difficult caching day

Found with jordenw29
TFTC!

Took a while by tourch ligjt but got it

Found on a whole day racing around the game board! Didnt get it quite finished so we look forward to taking our next turn! Thank you for the fantastic series!

This one took a little bit of time to find for us..Lots of muggles around ready to get on a bus to a function so had to hold off for a while. Sent the Geokids in to find and they resurfaced with the cache in hand. Thanks for another good hunt!!

Catching up on on a few hundred missed logs
Found with bucketeer
Thanks for the hunt

One of 13 Mountopoly caches I found on a shopping and caching trip to the Mount today.
Found after a short search in the rain while dodging mobile muggles

Thanks

Enough for the night, not quite. Glad there was a hint, as this is challenging at night.
One more to go before bed

Visiting the Mount once again and this trip was mainly for a friendly game of Mountopoly. We had heard some good things about this series, and it didn't disappoint. By this point we were doing night caching with the help of mogni. TFTC SE SA Geocachers.

This one took a lot of finding in the dark. Eventually we made the find... and.... and... wait a minute.... we think we may just have enough information to give the Final Bonus a crack. Roll the dice... double sixes.... lets go for it.

What a time, to come for this one, as all the staff were finishing work, at the same time. We waited about 10 minutes, for them to go and claimed the prize. Tftcsl. 10/05/13 22:12 Find #388
