I was here... never logged it til now

Trackables all gone, time to close the event, A big thankyou to everyone that attended

A couple of people still to log this, will disable for now and archive in a couple of days.

Ill be archiving this one shortly, I noticed there are still a few to log it and a trackable to log out.

A big thanks to Parislaura for organising an event in the badlands, so close to home.
Perfect spring weather, a nice meal and a very enjoyable walk which gave the opportunity to catch up with some familiar faces get to know some of the newer cachers like us and also spend some time with some of the legends of S.A. caching. all-in all a very enjoyable afternoon.
thanks

Great event and great company as well. Also had fun at the after event activities as well.

TFTC parislaura

Thanks ParisLaura

well we arrived early found the area void of cachers so we went for a walk while waiting and got a nearby cache. With nearly perfect Spring weather we enjoyed a meal and some good company

A great lunch, great company and a nice location. Thanks for the organisation Parislaura.

With the things the kids were getting up to I'm glad the place was kid friendly!

On my way will be ten minutes late though, plus one see ya soon

Fantastic.

Great to meet new Geocachers.

Cheers 'scargoes (P&F)

Thanks to Paris Laura for organising today! Good lunch and company.......surprised to meet some friends from school .....we didn't know you were cachers!!!!! Enjoyed (some) of the walk afterwards.....didn't quite last til the end.

A huge thanks to parislaura for organising this event. Had a great time. Nice to meet new people and find out friends are fellow cachers.

Thanks Laura, great food, company and the walk/climb worked up a thirst.
Will be back to finish off the rest another day.
Cheers Parislaura

A big thanks to you, Laura for organising the event. We had a great time chatting with old and new fellow cachers. Really enjoyed the afternoon stroll up the gorge. Iwill sleep well tonight. Thanks again,well worth the trip down from the peninsula.

Thanks to Parislaura for a lovely afternoon, the sun was shining and the weather was perfect. Just the way to start a caching season
Great to see old cachers and some new ones Able to put names to faces and logs. Good to see people we had met at the JLW event.
Thanks for the event

What a fun day, kicking back with some great people, doing some great caches, some of which were are great heights.

Special thanks to Parislaura for organizing the event. Sushilord for walking the hills with me and understanding the copious rest stops, Clojo1 for both the most excellent caches on the walk, and walking and chatting on the way back to the hotel, and Gral4 for the most welcome lift home. Thanks muchly to you all.

Gral4 and Ismartis, it is more I'm in an inconvenient location for pickups and drop offs then anything else.

It was a great day and the family and i enjoyed meeting all the other cachers. Well done Laura, i can't wait until the next event

Cheers TheShattells

I wasn't sure if I'd make it or not but I'm glad that I managed to! Just in time!
It was lovely to see such a good turn out!
Thanks for organizing the event, ParisLaura!
We weren't able to stay for the walk afterwards but I've got a few of those great Clojo caches previously, and will return soon to finish off the set!

Thanks to everyone that turned up to my first event, I had a lot of fun and was even more glad that there was good food and even better company! I wanted to prove that it is not necessarily the badlands out this way but an area with great people and great caches - I think by todays turn out and awesome people that my point was proven!

Well done to Leighside Legends for winning the right to claim FTF!

Maybe sometime down the track ill do this again - thanks everyone!!!!!!

Wow, what a lovely turn out Laura

Certainly glad we were able to make it in the end and catch up with some wonderful people.

Cheers and thanks for the great spring event [^]

Wow, a big thank you to parislaura for organising a fantastic event. We really enjoyed the lunch but the highlight was to explore your gorge and the best caches i have seen with locals and the CO. Gave out lots of fav points today.

What a great idea ParisLaura to have an event in the spring sunshine (love how how you ordered the fantastic weather) and show those from the rest of the city the lovely area round here
Good food, great company, met some new cachers and enjoyed many chats.
Wish I had felt ok to do the walk up the creek with the group, sounds like it was a blast.
For your first event, it was a great show! [^]
Now, when's the next one[?]

TFTE parislaura

Thanks for organsing the event Laura, it was a great afternoon of meeting people, enjoying the beautiful scenery & spring sunshine and discovering a few of the special local caches.

Will fondly remember the smell of crushed onion weed and wild fennel.

Have driven past this hotel many times over the years but its the first time I've actually visited. I never realised there was so much on offer here.

What a wonderful location! I rarely get out this far north, even to cache so there were plenty of unfounds nearby afterwards as well. Joined the throng of cachers who hiked eastbound afterwards as well to grab some of the awesome clojo1 caches. Thanks for organising a great event parislaura!

Managed to put in a late appearance (a bit like this log).
Caught up with quite a few friends but unfortunately couldn't stay long as needed to be elsewhere.
Thanks for the Event Laura, hope to spend more time at the next one

Nice little event and a good turnout. You even managed to get honeysucker to venturer this deep into the badlands! And the walk afterwards was great - got 10 finds in just that!
Thanks Dazza for the ride over and thanks Parislaura for the event!

TheKellyGang will not be able to attend as geodad has knee injury.

So sorry, won't be able to attend after all. Was looking forward to it so much but unfortunately things happen.

A certain locus has insisted on my attendance at this event to go caching afterwards, so it appears I will be attending!

Add another one to your list.

Hi everyone I have confirmed numbers for lunch for about 30 people at 1pm in the outdoor pines area, it is meant to be a sunny 27 degrees so should be a lovely day for it. If anyone has entertainment books or access to one there is a buy one get one free meal voucher in the book if that helps with lunch.

Also if you want to bring some trackables to move on, I am doing a swap in a few days with a cacher from QLD who is planning on taking a swag of trackables back home to the sunshine coast.

See you all on Sunday

just confirming numbers......3 of the 6 tayls will be attending!! 1 adult and 2 kids

Yep, I'll be there...

Hope to make it this way, haven't completed many caches this way.
Many people I would love to catch-up with.

The Kelly Gang will try and make it

save a spot for 2 flipper plz,, Gayle and myself will attend, make sure the beer is COLD !!!!

Mark/Gayle

2 from Guz's Travellers would love to attend. Hope to meet many teams and share some TB's.

Gadanga and myself will be coming for lunch. Spring is great. Thanks Laura

I'll be there.

After chatting to the hotel today about lunch arrangements, they have asked that we make ours for 1pm instead of 12pm, so hopefully that is still ok with everyone, might help those running a bit late from work.

Thanks for the invite. Will try to leave the kids at home, no one needs that hassle

I'll be there with my mate Gral 4, who has already RSVP'd

Sounds like fun! Not too sure if kids will be joining me but will let you know closer to the day. Thanks for organizing the event Laura!

The Rustic & the Relic would love to be there,

I will be there. I Haven't been to the Old Spot Hotel in years.

Should be good to catch up and grab a few caches in the area. 2 adults plus a 3yo.

Theshattells would love to come and enjoy the sunshine. So it will me x2 adults plus one child.

will attend but may be a touch late due to work commitments

Will be working early but will drop in when finished, hopefully before everyone has left

Should be fun.

Sounds like fun! Hopefully 4 of the 6-tayls will be there but will confirm numbers closer to the day!

Published

Now this sounds like FUN!!
I reckon I'll be there!

I will be there

Sounds like fun x 2 for us

I would very much love to come to your event Laura, specially as it is celebrating the return of the warmth, I do love Spring!
Hope to bring the family.

DOH!!!!! We have already pre-booked a trip to Strathalbyn but hope you all have a great time.

As this is the day after AFL Grand Final, I can't tell you if I'll be in a state to walk, but I do want to come along.

F will be going to the La Femme 5 Fun Run, so might be P's turn for a solo Event attendance Can act as caching tour guide as we've done the lot (for now anyway).

The 2 M's would love to spring into some sunshine with Laura.
