Logs
I read the logs with a number of DNF's and thought "I will have a go, and either find it, or post a 'Needs Maintenance'." Needless to say, here is the latter. I searched the structure at GZ as well as the natural surroundings with no joy. I suspect that it has been muggled. CO please check...
We are bored today. Let's go geocaching. We didn't read the logs before actually been at GZ. Still had a quick look and no trace of it.
Same as previous visitor, searched high and low. Co ords took us exactly to a specific object and it certainly was not there or nearby,we even sat and pondered for a bit.
Hunted under, over and around but we couldn't find it. Be interested to know if it was muggled or well hidden.
found on the way home from the " 4 months to the Surf Coast Event - Mildura ". Given the wet state of the roads I walked from River Memories # 5 - Jane down to this one. Ended up with about 3 cm of mud under each boot. Easy find.
We made this one more difficult that it really was. We didn't see the critter at first pass and search everywhere else instead.

Lots of gorgeous geofriends [:X] , events, walking, driving (on roads, sand and bush bashing), getting wet feet in the lake, BBQs, picnics, going across the border into Victoria [^], someone getting bogged , someone hitting a kangaroo whilst rescuing the bogged driver , huffing and puffing up what felt like Mt Everest [xx(] , eggs & bacon [^] , laughter , chatting and of course finding lots of caches!!! [^][^][^][^]

We miss our smurfmobile. Nawty intended on renting a larger vehicle while is SA but forgot so we have to deal with our wee vehicle.
Logbook is full. Takes us back to NZ where almost every cache we visited had the same issue.

A late start to the caching day as we had a few domestic chores to attend to. One involved washing the van so we crept to this one so as not to get it dirty again. A quick find was made at GZ and then the rain came down! Despite crawling back to the bitumen we still managed to get quite a bit of mud on the van and had a bit of trouble with it slipping. The joys of caching! But thanks for an easy smiley.
By chasing another cache, I stumbled upon the road to reach this cache
Not much of a road really, but it got me to where I wanted to be
And at GZ I found a seat !!
Odd !!
I sat upon said seat and stared out across the pond and the thing that made the gurgling sound.
That thing made me want to have a pee
OK !!
Relieved, I returned to said seat and with the gurgler, gurgling in the background I uncovered a cache
TFTC and detour !!

Out for the morning caching with Just Me Now and ROMA123. Nice quick find in the only place it could be. Thanks for the cache Moneydork.
No problems with this one despite previous log entry - not sure what happened there! Thanks Moneydork
A fantastic June Long weekend with Gemini7, JustMeNow & JJ52 at the Barmera Country Music Festival. Quick find for this one.

Two people searching for half an hour and still no luck. We'll try again next year
Quick find by geokid gnomeo2007 despite the roadside workers working right next to the cache location. Geodad didn't want to leave the geo-mobile because of the workers. Also with messy61.
Workmen working in the area when we arrived at GZ. Decided to play it cool anx gave them a wave while one of the geokids retrieved the cache. TFTC
Quick find by fearless Dad after some wet weather mud road driving! Tin lids more interested in trudging through the mud!
We headed up to the Old Customs house for the weekend, with the purpose of taking the little boat out to do the last of the Corners, ticking off our bucket list.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

Today is day one of our trip away. We set off for Berri to spend 3 days caching the Riverland area, joined by earthlight and Gwen from The X-Trailers. This was a good opportunity to find (or DNF) caches while trialling out our new tent and camping accessories, gearing up for when we head off to the QLD Mega at the end of March. We started out in temperatures of 38ºc before that first evening brought light showers, although not enough to dull the 41ºc temp for day two. Day three was a much nicer day as the day cooled down to a nice 28ºc. We managed 200+ finds on this trip. On day two we found caches in 3 states in 1 day being SA, VIC & NSW, that was quite a highlight. No snakes were spotted, guess it was too hot for them but we had one roo bound slowly across the road in front of us. Next trip back here will be with the boat, there are plenty of river caches to hunt for and naturally all the ones we didn't have time for. Found this one at night so we didn't see the drain, will have to return during daylight hours. TFTC
Found this one by torch light with earthlight and 3LG
Enjoying a few hours caching the area

After a hot drive along the Karoonda road locating caches in Wandering Heroes series we managed to pitch our tents and rest for awhile before heading out locally to find a few caches.
This was one of them.
Found with 3LG and the x-trailers.

Heard some gurgling nearby and noticed the whirlpool. The most interesting drain I've come across. TFTC Moneydork.
Today the GeoCruiser was back in for service/repairs.
We managed to head out and about and investigate some potential campsites in advance of moving tomorrow.
Some light rain about making the dirt roads a bit slippy but nothing too bad for the GeoCruiser.

As Mrs B said, quick and easy find, I guess. Can't really remember it to be honest but we noted it in our little tracking book so I guess we must have!

Central Australia trip Crossing the Simpson and Innaminka, August 2014. After many years away from the Oodnadatta track and Innaminka, it was time for a another tour. This time in Company with seven cars to tackle the obstacles. Caching opportunities were a little thin, but the ones that were out here are all in great places. The whirlpool was certainly mesmerising. Thanks.

Found this one with sesblocker while on a caching expedition around Renmark. Parked within 2 metres of the cache and signed the log. TFTC!
Took the round trip happy to see the road was navigable after recent rains for a quick find TFTC
Found It!
My GPS was all over the place here. After wandering around in the dark and falling in a few potholes I noticed the obvious feature and soon found the cache!

Making the most of our time in the Riverland and managed to find this cache around the two wonderful events we attended. Thanks to Moneydork
Another quick and easy find for us today while on a drive out from Lyrup Flats. TFTC
Nice relaxing spot. Couple of ducks and a waterhen observing me from a distance. Pity about the rubbish in Bookmark Creek. TFTC
Enjoyed drive the car along to GZ - lovely flow the water... Signed the log. Thanks Moneydork
We looked at going down a road near a previous cache, no way we were going to get the bike down there. We tried a different road and found it to be quite satisfactory. Interesting place to find a seat. SL TFTC
