My first solo caching trip. A long one down the entire length of the Sturt Highway. TFTC

Found at 3:09 pm on an afternoon caching with Olga

This is great! Love it!

TFTC

Wow that had us confused but we found it and disturbed this beauty TFTC

Found on a fun day out and about with STC - TFTC

Staying at Holders Bend for the weekend with Shandyk, we cleaned up a few caches that we had missed last time we were here. A quick find here.. TFTC

Found by DMMJF TFTC!

Well that was different! Thanks

Quick find while heading home Found with LittleLeah79. TNLNSLTFTCTTFNBeaker DGS

TFTC, found with Beaker. Not sure if the cache is where it is supposed to be, but it's there.

Now that the main reason for our journey was over and multiple caching trails were completed it was time to venture home. Our Mob had gone separate ways. Only three teams left now us, Rapidlywild and The Drovers. We made our slow journey back to Mildura where we were stopping for the night, caching all the way. Lovely weather couldn't have asked for better weather for this journey. Log stamped and we were on our way again. Thanks for the hide FLIPPER&CO and thanks for a fun adventure Rapidlywild

Another nice find with woolwood9 today. We are over in Adelaide for the MEGA Event *Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit.* SL *tm/ww NZ*Soon located, now onto the next one!

Found while over for the Mega Event with tmann421Heading inland to get some more of the trails, picking up whatever gets in the way.Enjoyed the hides.Thanks to the cache owners for their efforts

Clever find. Kids enjoyed the hunt.

decided to do a little caching when travelling home from the annual river holidaya very warm day forecast, but pleasant enough in the morning and the car air conditioning works wellfirst find for the day thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO

I didnt get tyred looking for this cache. Found on my way home from a family holiday in Barmera. TFTC

Thanks to previous logs this was a quick find tftc

While travelling through the area we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

This took a long time to unearth this one, but Mr "T" made the find, YES found it!!! Cache and contents were very good.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

On our way to the Riverland for the 3 events in 3 states in 1 day, to celebrate International Geocaching Day.

Lucky we had Jolly0 with us and she had found this a couple of years earlier, or we probably wouldn't have found it. It was a tiresome search and we would never have thought to look there. TFTC FLIPPER&CO

could not find this one a DNF. Search not here Thanks

This one stumped us ! 3 teams came up with nada.
Clues and past logs found to be very confusing.

No luck here today.
Maybe next time
Soo many confusing clues. But none that made sense

Another quick stop on the way back from Christmas with family in NSW. Gotta love a road trip. TFTC TNLNSL

Found while touring the area on holidays. TFTC.

Nice easy find on the way back to Waikerie after caching the on your bike series. Interesting hide, TFTC.

Found 15 metres away from the posted coordinates on the wrong side of the fence line, looks like it has been run over by a traction engine. The hint is useless but previous logs will help, as it did for us.
Placed in the coloured hiding media in the position it should be hidden in, 2 metres from the fence line.

Too Good for us today

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I departed Morgan after a hot breakfast, and we proceeded south finding a few targeted *Tour de France* series geocaches, before then crossing the Murray River at Blanchetown. We then proceeded up the eastern Murray River bank passing through Murbko, before crossing once again and driving along the northern bank. We then stopped for a late lunch at Waikerie after making another river crossing (by ferry this time), and then made our way east along the Sturt Highway to Barmera. It was a chance to see a few sights in Barmera and complete the *A Bonney Stroll* Adventure Lab. Finally, we made a dash through Monash topping to see the adventure playground, and then arrived in Berri for the night.

We made a stop here thinking it wouldn't take too long to find, but it was a good 10-15 minutes of searching around before it was found. Research from past logs helped to find this cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found on our big drive up to Brisbane with Davidwazza! TFTC!

A quick weekend getaway up the river with my muggle friends. Time for a few caches.
Soldiering on.
TFTC Keep smiling

Really good hiding spot

Lol... i reckon i was here about 20 minutes stomping the ground and stabbing with a stick for that unusual sound. It was only once i delved into past logs that i found the clue i needed... an accurate one too that saved me from that dreadded, blue unhappy face

I was SL some 23 minutes later with a bit of sand in my right eye for good measure. I earnt every star here today [B)] lol

The Redback was quickly evicted but not harmed [She'd be peeved off at me though ha ha ]

SL at 10:02 on Monday 10 August 2020.
TFTC FLIPPER&CO

Found it but didn’t sign the log as mumma redback was home with her eggs

Found

As I am getting older and running out of time, I have decided I will take off on my own to cache in different areas of our vast country as my NGW (Non Geocaching Wife) has no interest in caching.
I have been up to Loxton for five days of full on caching with suscoe, au.fait and Phetlern and still have so many caches to log.
Heading off in the opposite direction today with the crew and with still over 70 caches to log.
I am afraid that for the next few days my logs are going to be a lot of cutting and pasting but that does not take away the effort that the owners have put in to provide these caches for us to find so please accept my thanks. With close to 200 caches placed I know how much work is involved with not only placing them but the ongoing maintenance.
Thanks, FLIPPER&CO for placing this cache.

11:18
Heading westward toward Waikerie, in the great company of au.fait. Bushfire & Suscoe on Friday the 13th. Sounds ominous, it was splendid, interesting caches and lots of local history. No sign of Mr F. but we quickly sensed a novel cache.

Our thanks to 'FLIPPER&CO' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

*This log composed and published using Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK).*

Suscoe, Bushfire, Phetlern and au.fait were heading along this road this morning.
A quick find and sign.

Thanks to FLIPPER&CO for this hide, a quick find for us today.

We were looking forward to lunch back at Banrock a little later on today.

A clever hide here so a favourite point for this Another lovely day of caching in the splendid company of Phetlern Suscoe and Bushfire. We had an ambitious plan to find caches between Loxton and Waikerie before calling it a day to enjoy a relaxed if slightly late lunch at Banrock Station. The day concluded with a friendly BBQ where we were also able to catch up with crane2 who had provided us with so many caches around this area TFTC Flipper&Co

TFTC! Found on nice drive to Paringa

Found

After a few days in Renmark, this cache loomed as one to help break up the drive on the way home. I can recall going here over 20 years ago for some sort of celebration. Thanks!

Got it

Last minute grab before leaving

Had a blowout here.

Travelling around Australia, moving today from Lyrup to Blanchetown. Grabbed as many caches as we could with the caravan on tow. Once set up we then headed out to explore the surrounds.

TFTC

Well came back seeings others have found after my DNFed.
So read gridges post so had a look every were instead of the ground. Looked up looked down looked in looked out still can’t find

A quick stop off on my way to Mildura thinking it may be an easy one, but alas, a dnf. Keen to try again another trip.

After reading the logs and ignoring the hint, I made a quick find as suggested by gridge98’s log.

Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO.
Found on 4 Aug 2019 at 4:58 pm.
Find #9256

TFTF

Arrived at GZ with nettieknows today, after searching around using the hint no luck was had. A PAF was used and then we were in the right direction. Cache hint is wrong and should look for tube instead. TFTC

Out for a drive with gridge98 on this beautiful cache. A little hunting around and cache found! TFTC

Couldn't find this one. Very busy road.

??

Out with @ddog85 again on an Aussie day caching adventure.
We did a few Caches and traveled a few towns.
Thanks to all he cos for placing these caches for us and others to enjoy.

TFTC! Well hid.

I spent a lot of time a'prodin' and a'pokin' without success. Then I read some previous logs and went searching for something else. Damn! No luck here today.

No luck here

We looked but didn't find.

Exploring into country after staying in Adelaide for few days.
thanks for the hunting and cache

This one had us tricked for a while but eventually got there. Thanks for the cache

Out today with LLL51 and Gemini7 and while we were in Waikerie we collected a few caches on a lovely day for caching. [^]
This one took us quite a long time as we were expecting it to be buried. [?] We looked and looked and jumped up and down (we used our feet as the hint suggested) but this didn't help.
It was only when Gemini7 extended her search area that she found the cache not where we were expecting it to be.
Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO.

Thank you

TFTC

Heading to coobowie from Berri
Caching along the way with liz,Earthlight
This was the first cache of our day
Tftc easy find

Dropped trackables in for avisit whilst The X-Trailers found the cache
A lot easier to find than when I looked for it.

Found it

Great hide, TFTC!

Quick park and grab. TFTC!

After completing the Victorian Country Road Atlas Challenge it was time to head home to SA. Grabbed a few caches along the way. TFTC.

Azzepious and I went on our second annual trip to Adelaide for caching and cricket. Joining us was muggle Skonos who refused to make a geocaching account but did help on finding caches. Day 3 took us from Renmark to Adelaide to meet our friends who flew down.

All caches logged as Team G.O.G.G.G.G (Team of Glorious Geocaching Gamer Geeks)

Clever hide and we found the weirdest looking caterpillar under the camo!

Day three of myself and MrSmith00's 2nd annual geocaching trip from Sydney to Adelaide, culminating in the day/night ashes 2nd test.
Along for his inaugural journey was Skonos, whom we are attempting to infect with the geocaching bug.

Log signed as GOGGGG - The group of glorious, geocaching, gamer geeks.

Day one saw us drive Sydney to Hay collecting 37 caches on the way.

Day two was Hay to Renmark for 29 finds.

*End copy paste section.*

Find 12 for the day.

I've never seen a hide like that before.
Tftc.

Edit to correct chronology.

Quick find on our way to Blanchetown for our next stop. TFTC

Cache was a little away from coordination. TFTC

Found on the way home after a FTF drive up to near Berri.
Nice water-proofing.
Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO

After finding some Wandering Heroes with Goodlook yesterday we stayed at Loxton for the night to grab a few local caches before parting company.

We intend to get to one of these events one of these years, not only to catch up with the Flippers but to watch the old machinery in action. We have been to many tractor pulls but they are mostly very very highly modified pieces of equipment. It would be great to see one doing it with the old tractors like they should but for today we have to satisfy ourselves with a cache that took a little bit longer than it should have but we got there in the end and our names are in the log book.

Thanks Flipper&Co for the cache.

A lovely location for a quick find with friends.

Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had such a wonderful weekend with my good buddies, the lovely Team Crackers [:X] [^] whilst caching from Karoonda to Waikerie over the 2 days.

We enjoyed the frivolity and fun that accompanied finding about 100 caches [:o)] [^]; lots of good food [^], heaps of laughter , some crazy story telling over maybe a drink or two before bed [^]. We enjoyed one night in Loxton at the Big 4, and we couldn't believe how lucky we were with the mild and fairly sunny weather we experienced (given the torrential rain in Adelaide).

A totally unplanned and unexpected weekend, but this spontaneous 'hook-up' could not have been more perfect [^]

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks FLIPPER&CO for placing this cache.

Last cache for this session. Cheers

On a road trip to the Riverland with my Dad today just for the day. He wanted to go to Chowilla but in the end we only went to Loxton, Berri and Renmark before heading home. It was a long way to travel in a day

Had a good lunch at Loxton and then visited Aldi at Berri so had a couple of rest stops on the way. We also purchased pumpkins and apples to take home from roadside stalls.

I had DNF'd this one a few years ago and was happy to make a quick find today on our way home. It was getting dark now so was my last cache for the day.

Geohusbands birthday today so heading back to Adelaide for family Birthday/Easter catch up TFTC quick find here once I spotted the obvious spot. Definitely not in a tree!

Find No: 5680. On the way from Newcastle to Alice Springs, staying in Port Augusta tonight, so far so good, thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO!!

Off to Burra for a few days, picking up a few caches. TFTC

Sorry for the late log, we misplaced are log notes from the last road trip, Nice location, TNLN

`If you are in the area on SATURDAY 12th and SUNDAY 13th AUGUST, the hit/miss rally and tractor pull will be all go at this location.
Mark will be at the controls of the mighty Fowler Z7 ploughing engine,
come up and say HI!!

Our fourth find for the morning. Based on the hint, we started looking for something potentially under the ground, however, I soon noticed something a little out of the ordinary that fit with the title of the cache and was rewarded with the find. TFTC!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Heading home after working in the riverland and decided on the way back to see if I could make the hit on this one. I hoped it wasn't a miss. Wandered to GZ and walked around for a bit re-reading the description and some logs and suddenly worked out what I was looking for and found it. Signed log after the full pull and then made the full push back into the hide.
Gratias Pro Cache FLIPPER&CO

I have had a miss in the past but today it was all to obvious and walked up to it.

On our way to Sydney via Mildura, decided to add a few easy ones to our list

TFTC and all is good

With Mrs one-eyed and our 4WD and caravan in two stopped on the wrong side of the highway safe from busy traffic, at 110km's per hour, we needed to be careful.
Found the cache okay , well thought out.

Accurate coordinates and a familiar type of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Flipper&Co for the cache.

An impromptu dash to South Australia was needed so I could say my goodbyes to my poppy, and I stayed a couple nights with my best friend KBKL. After poppy's service was sorted, we decided a few caches were in order.

Time to drive home and I had decided to get a number of caches en route. Turned a normally 12 hour trip to clost to 20 hours but it was worth it. Managed to get 4 states/territories in 24 hours also

Cache located, signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO [^]
