On a very rare and special occasion, I was out and about with my lovely on a mid-week escape. The weather was lovely, chilly air, fairly clear skies and warm in the car. We left home at a respectable hour, wandered through the hills at our leisure stopping for a morning cuppa while taking in views of the southern coast. Great conversation and experiences at a variety of caches. We stopped for lunch in Strathalbyn and had a stroll in the shops and park after. I had not been caching in this area before so there were many to choose from, including a couple armchair solves waiting patiently.

After walking back and forth for the sequenced AL in the park in Strathalbyn, I reverted to normal caching until it was home time. We managed many different cache types and picked up a golden oldie to fill a gap in my Jasmer grid. All up a wonderful day with over 30 remote hills finds added to my tally.

Thanks for the cache Mike71. Simple yet effective, dry and easy to sign. The cache and contents are all good. Find #8474 at 3.19pm

We have been allowed to travel to South Australia and our first stop was Bordertown then onto Millicent where we will spend a few days before heading towards Adelaide.
We have arrived, it has been such a long time since we have been to Adelaide and we are out there finding the many caches that have been placed since we were last here or the ones we have not had time to find before. All caches are in good condition, some were easy finds some were down right difficult due to the great quality of their camo.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I headed to Strathalbyn and Langhorne Creek. We spent a bit of time in Strathalbyn walking around the town's parks completing the adventure lab, and then headed east to a few of Langhorne Creek's wineries. A few stops and tastes of the drops, and as time went on and it got colder, we returned to Strathalbyn for a few remaining geocache stops, and then back home for the day.

The first thing we noticed here was the massive rock with very small plaque on it. After reading the memorial, we quickly found the cache. Unfortunately, the cache container lid was cracked through it, but the logbook was still dry and in good shape. Thanks Mike_71 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/@jesswrigley stamp.

Find # 7694


Found while on the annual Trip to South Aurstalia for the Tour Down Under Bike race.
All week I've been travelling with Tyred n Cranky, but today I dropped them off in Myponga, as they were participating in the "Challenge Tour" with over 3000 other riders.

As every year, when I drop them off, it starts a caching day for me.
This year I had the 40 series on the GPSr ready to go, and a few others around the area and on the way to Strathalbyn, where Tyred n Cranky would be crossing the Finish line and where I had to pick them up.

While doing the 40 I came across another cachers log, wow they were from Horsham, and after a few messages, it turnec out we were doing the same thing. The dropp off of family members, caching the area, picking up family members. A weird coincidence so far from home.

Sorry for the generic log. All caches were found safe n healthy unless otherwise stated.

So its been awhile since I have started up my GPS and looked at what I have found. To my suprise I have so much logging to do, and from so long ago. So I have had to put a generic log together as I have no clue what happened this long ago.

Apologies in advance for the generic log, But life has taken a few different paths over the last 2 years now I have to play catch up.

Know one thing, these days I hand pick all the caches I do and well I hand picked this one so its a good thing. Generic log or not Very Happy

Thanks for the cache Daleerius55
