On the 14th of September, 2019, a youthful but slightly bored Otter googled geocaching. With 30 minutes he found his first cache, and the rest is history. As I commence my fifth loop of the calendar, Ive piled everything in the car and have no set agenda except to be back by the 20th. Should be fun.I made the mistake of starting to read some previous logs before even arriving at GZ for this cache, and so it meant that I pretty much knew what to look for. Still, well executed. Wouldnt be easy on a busy beach day, but all was quiet today, despite the warm temperature. Thanks for this hide GroovyGranny47.

A beautiful morning, sunshine, light breeze and not a sign of rain. We were having quite a fun day until mid afternoon the rain started. Our day consistered of finding a variety of caches, AL's and a few DNF's and finding us arriving back at home at a much later time than we had wamted to be.
We had a lovely lunch at the fish and chip shop near the jetty and we found a fantastic place that we can bring our caravan to when we want some time out.

TFTC NiceNannies for your cache Drop In At Pinks that we found today. We left a showery Millicent this morning to head to Kingston SE for a few days. After setting up camp in the RV Park and having lunch we headed out to explore using caching and Adventure Labs as a guide. A nice afternoon exploring

Find # 10593

Found with sharkiefan.

Back in SA, caching around the area with out base being Millicent.
It was 2 years ago on the March long weekend we were last over here. (That was pre covid/lockdown days.)
We had a great time, back then, and when we got home it was only 20days later Vic went into full covid lockdown mode.

The world has changed somewhat since then, but caching still gets us out n about.

And it is kind of fitting that we are back here for a planned interstate caching trip to get us both back into an area we enjoy (not ta mention I always enjoy the SA caches n trails)

This trip we are both armed with some new gear for the new trails. And i had a few caches targeted to help achieve some challenges and stats.

Once again it was a great little break from the norm of life back home.

Today we toured from Millicent, hit the coast n made our way to Kingston SE. Then cached back to Robe, checked out some camping areas and finishing the day in Beachport with Ad Labs.

Bit of a risky grab but thankfully no smell today.

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on Big Grin


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting Cool

Staying in Kingston o/n we headed out after dinner to see the tourist spots and find a few caches.
We were not sure if we should be tampering with what we thought was a good possibility of being the cache but we tried anyhow and came up trumps.

Thanks Groovygranny47 for the placement.

So we did it, we took the plunge and early last year made arrangements to sell our little hobby farm in South Gippsland and ‘do a big lap’.
No full lap is complete without a lap of the little island first.
So after tidying up our affairs and putting everything into storage, we celebrated Christmas with our families and hit the road.

We recently spent 7 magnificent weeks in beautiful Tasmania, then we just did a quick trip down the west coast of boring old Victoria, making our way to South Australia, crossing the border before Covid strikes again.
Looking forward to slowing things down as we spend time in SA with no return date planned.
Thanks for being one of the CO’s who supplied us with a cache to do on the way.
This one was most enjoyable.
