After over seven weeks on the road, I'm back home and finally catching up on all my logging.Caching in South Australia was fantastic, so many good hides to find, and we found ourselves zigzagging all over the place doing lots of geoart but of course ran out of time to get everything done on our to-do list.The majority of caches we found were in great condition and well maintained, which is a credit to all the CO's who placed them, so thank you.Our logs were mostly signed as 5 for QLD to save room on the log sheets, and no doubt, we'll be back again in the near future

Day nineteen of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
Lovely weather today and the first day of traveling home.
Tanunda to Tailem Bend, via a few AdLabs, an OTD series, and a few trads.

It certainly was a barrier with a view today! Lovely blue skies and green fields you could see forever.
Although the wind left a bit to be desired - it was blowing!
Nearly lost the cache as it got blown away!
Thanks, Robmc.

#19418. Day 19 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. Sadly, we have now left the Barossa Valley and have made our way to Tailem Bend, making our way home slowly to Victoria. After last night's wild storm we awoke to a blue sky and sunshine - good for travelling.

What a windy place - thought I would blow away when I opened the passenger door to go and look for the cache. The views were certainly magnificent in all directions. We carefully held on to all the bits and pieces from the cache in case they blew away and replaced as found.

Thanks Trigger_Fish

Nice view here. I took a photo a few steps from GZ.

Heading back out in the direction of Swan Reach and Blanchetown to find a few of the caches I could not get to the other day. With the amount of caches found, logs will be a bit generic. All caches were found in good condition, unless otherwise stated, on an enjoyable afternoon,

Today was a bit of an expedition driving around the Adelaide Hills and beyond, to then around Murray Bridge, and few places in between. It began driving through Woodside on to Tungkillo to collect a few geocaches there, and then on to the river past Mannum and Mypolonga for a few scattered caches. It was then on to meet Michells&hound for her target D/T cache, and then back towards Murray Bridge to repair a few caches and find the northern area caches. Finally, I made a stop at Mount Barker on the return back to Adelaide. The day was rather nice; a little brisk and a few showers with only during the middle of the day it fell a little more harder.

I was on route past this cache, and decided to make the stop since there wasn't a lot of geocaches around this one. I parked right next to the popular guardrail, and cache was quickly found (not sure why the previous geocacher had trouble in locating). The geocache was all good, and some terrific views from here. Cheers Moneydork.

Hi there Moneydork.

We found your cache **"A Barrier with a View"** today. (This makes our find count 22042).

Today we headed out from Mount Pleasant to attempt the BMT series - but we also had to find this one. As it's not part of the series it deserves a finely crafted log, not one of the crappy cut-n-paste ones that usually are associated with power trails.

We found 36 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

The cache is there, exactly where all good road barrier caches should be. The views were great, and despite a forecast of bad weather, we were glad we'd come out this way today.

Thanks Moneydork.

Searched by torchlight no luck for us as our last cache before heading home, maybe a case of cache blindness or the torch not shining the right way will wait see further logs before a revisit TFTC Moneydork

A quick and easy find as the description states, and yes the view was lovely. [:X]

Out and about with Ozibags today where we enjoyed a beautiful country drive [^] on a gorgeous day [^] whilst having fun (gotta love lots of silly talk and laughter) WinkBig Grin [^], and picking up a few caches [^].

Not only did we have an awesome day, but we also had a few unexpected adventures.......including almost managing to get shot at Surprised [xx(] by a very scary angry muggle who clearly had a few issues (which also meant at least one of the caches we found will likely need archiving).....I do wonder what may have been cultivating on that property [?] [:(!].......but before we knew how our day was going to unfold, this was one of our stops Cool

Thanks for the cache Moneydork Smile
