A trip down to Victor Harbor was organised for today with Michells&hound, primarily to get the new Adventure Lab caches down there and then working on a list of other caches that we both had not found. [^]
It was a lovely sunny day and we had a very enjoyable time driving around the area and stopping at Port Elliott Bakery for lunch. We found all the caches we looked for and turned a couple of DNF's into smilies which is always good. Big Grin

Didn't see any kangaroos today, but someone had been having fun as there were lots of tyre tracks in the mud and grass. Surprised The nice sized cache was quickly found. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache boab bill. Smile

Today I headed to Victor Harbour with JJ52 with the primary goal of doing the new lab cache there. Of course it was a bit far to go just for the labs so caches were added in. We found all the caches we looked for but a few on our list we did not attempt.
Rex also came along for the trip and he was such a good boy and he had a brilliant day out. He is knackered now.
We enjoyed an excellent bakery lunch in Port Elliot and were amazed with the number of people still queuing for pies at 2pm!
Blessed with fantastic weather it was a wonderful day for caching.
We didn’t see any Roos here good to find a bigger cache. TFTC Boab Bill

Owl has been meaning to get back to the scene of a FTF DNF since this was placed. Despite a very wet and wintry day, she headed out of Victor Harbor determined to set things right. She did and owl knows why this wasn't found in the dead of night! It took a screwdriver to prise open the rusty tin, so she left with soggy shoes as well as a smilie!

This place was amazing!
It had snake territory written all over it but all I saw were butterflies, so many!
I love creepy tree places.

Thanks boab bill

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Found with Astronaut99 and Beaker on a long weekend camping, kayaking and geocaching adventure up the Coorong and all over the Fleurieu Peninsula. Highlights included seeing hundreds of Pelicans in the Coorong, Jellyfish in the crystal clear waters at Victor Harbour/Port Elliot, visiting a sea cave, and waking up in our swags on Australia Day to see the silhouette of kangaroos! Thanks Smile

Escaped home for the long weekend and decided to spend it caching and kayaking around the fleurieu peninsula area. Was a good eventful weekend accompanied by -Beaker-, FerociousFlea and a roaring sun.

Top point for hiding a good sized container in such a clever way!

The area was a sea of [Amanita muscaria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria), more than we've seen in a single location ever!

After re-hiding the cache, we took time out for a cup of coffee and a sandwich, enjoying this peaceful location.

Thanks boab bill.

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! We are currently on the first section of our journey, which started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island. We are currently on route to Melbourne via Goolwa (where we are driving to at present), Coorong, Mount Grambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. From Melbourne we head to Tasmania for a few days, then back to Melbourne before setting off to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. After a visit to Sydney we will travel on to the Gold Coast, then after spending a few days in the nearby mountainous birding hotspots, followed by an overnight trip to Fraser Island, we will fly from Brisbane to Cairns, visiting yet more good birding sites. We will then drive up to Cape Tribulation before heading back south again to Port Douglas and a day out on the Great Barrier Reef. We then return to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs, where we will hire a 4x4 camper and set off for a week on the circuit to and from Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock. We then fly to Darwin from where we will spend the last two weeks of our holiday making our way to Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

Found after a brief search while keeping an eye out for snakes. Thanks for the cache.

#2555 - Took a while to find, but looking from a different angle, Bruce saw a glint of GC green.
The cache is really well hidden and not on the ground. No climbing either. Right at tummy height.
All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour via the highest peak in each State and mainland Territory.

On a caching holiday with my brother, Richmond Lad. Staying around Goolwa and Murray Bridge and doing day trips looking for hides that take us to a variety of places.

After checking out a few potential decoys we returned to something Mr Beetle had noticed on the way in. The container had been found by muggles recently who called themselves the ? weeders. It's nice when muggles find the containers and leave them alone. It's how we first started caching after an accidental find.
Thanks.
