No cockies at play, today. A bit wet methinks!
Log is damp, too. I didn’t have spare paper today, sorry!

After some caching up north, Mr Tardis was heading home and stopped by to find this one. I found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Theshattells.

A nice winter to be out and about, starting with a delicious breakfast at a geocaching event. Once conversation was finished with, @jesswrigley and I headed to the Barossa Goldfields to do a long loop in that area. A fantastic gem rich of history, that I had never even heard of the gold rush here. However after reading some of the ruins' signs, and one of the corporations' disasters at finding gold within the ore, I can understand why some of this history has been swept under the carpet. Finally, it was a visit to the Whispering Wall nearby, where @jesswrigley and I were blown away at how cool this was, and it blew our expectations.
A nice park and playground as we stopped here on the way to the Barossa Goldfields. We ended up checking the church out nearby also, and an interesting outside setup. We made the easy find, and note that the logbook is getting pretty scrappy, so may need a CO TLC visit in the future. Thanks Theshattells.

We are used to seeing children's playgrounds in established suburbs and new housing areas, but this one took us a little by surprise as it was in a unique setting. Reasonably accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Alas, no cockies seen today. Thanks Theshattells for the cache.
Today was declared to be Owl's Day and she was chauffeured around the countryside by Brisal5, being handed caches to sign by Anymules. (That's her story and she's sticking to it!) A fun day and lots of smilies was the result. This was a quick find on the way.
A quick and easy park and grab while passing through the area.
Thanks for the cache Theshattells.

This was our first cache with the children. It was very easy but now we understand how it works we are in for some challenging ones now
We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us. 
Last day in the Barossa for this visit. Headed out to do some shopping and of course found a few caches along the way.

found with getnict and rod81w. detoured off the nearby power trail to grab this one. nicely themed cache
Headed out to Nuriootpa with sir_spectre and Rod81w to cache the day again. We had seen the weather reports so all came prepared with extra clothes. It is rare for us all the have a weekday off together and we weren't going to let weather reports predicting 50-100mm of rain dampen our caching spirits.
