Travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip.We are staying in Murray Bridge for a few days and doing a bit of sightseeing around the area using geocaching as our guide. It's a chilly morning, but it's not raining, and we are caching. Win win for us, but not so for the farmers. TFTC CPWanderer.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Murray Bridge to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Thanks for the find CPwanderer

Tyftf !

Out for a quick find and clear this area at least. TFTC CPwanderer and Bindi, certainly have found good spots for your caches, and I have claimed a smile.

Out for a wander with SXC finding a few caches here and there. Thanks CPwanderer

Found with shonkylogic while out and about geocaching for the day.TFTCCheers and Happy HuntingSouthern Cross Caching

Easy find after a lovely walk thru the bush.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Thanks CPwanderer for bringing Makingpie and I to this location. Great place for a walk in the wind and rain.

Another stroll another find. TFTC

Nice quick find. TFTC

Another day of beautiful sunny weather, bush walking and great caching. This is my favourite way to cache - park the car and go off on foot. I had the trails to myself today no other people spotted except a few parked cars in the car park.

All caches found were in great condition. One tricky find but the rest were simple and quick finds - just how I like them.

Thanks for the cache CPwanderer.

I parked at the southern point and made my way around collecting the few caches in the southern park of this area. All of the caches were easily found and are all in good order

Today after attending my early birds event in north Adelaide I Alex see to head east towards Monarto to complete some of the walking trails before heading to strath and back home via the back roads collecting caches. All up 72 finds for the day

Thanks for the cache

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Out in Monarto forest on a beautiful winter's day to grab some caches. Thanks to CPwanderer for this great series.

Just tidying up a few caches in the area. Nice day for a walk TFTC.

Walking with the geo-pup, last one for the pre-lunch session! A fave for this section, thanks for the caches and the walk.

Checked on this with the CO!

Mr Tardis was on a caching expedition through parts of Monatro Forest today while heading towards CPwanderer's event. A beautiful spring day to be out and about finding caches.

I found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache CPwanderer

out with getnict caching some of the walking trails.We seem to be doing these caches in reverse order

Out for a wander with CP, Bindi and sir_spectre.

What do you do when the weather report forecasts strong winds, 10 degrees and up to 25mm of rain... you go geocaching! We were keen to finish the Monarto Forest series, so we rugged up with full waterproofs and headed out to do the northern section of the forest (southern section completed in June), along with the geodog. A lovely area to walk, with a good variety in terrain, along with lots of roos. Found and signed log.

**Out and about cleaning up some caches with AnyMules**...

A nice day out with good company and many laughs... A nice area for a stroll through...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment CPwanderer... Appreciate your efforts...

Stamped log and returned as found...

Found on a day out around the area with Snap Happy.

It was a lovely day of cool weather, perfect for a trip through the area.

Thanks for the cache CPwanderer. Found on 21 Mar 2017 at 2:19 pm. Find #4218.

Went to the Zoo to see the rellies with Purrfect Di, geokid Alex, and Sebastbat,
found a few caches nearby after for fun.
Will have to come back for the rest of the butchwalks.

Nice easy find. No animals guarding this one. TFTC.

Found by The Boofs TFTC .

What better use of a public holiday than to go for a walk and pick up a few caches along the way. While we were enjoying our walk in the Monarto Forest we saw several kangaroos, lots of monarch butterflies and large flocks of what we think were pied currawongs. At this time of the year the bark on some of the mallees looked almost polished. Thanks for creating this series.

Today we decided to head out in the wind and rain and finish the Butchwalking series. We enjoyed the walk even though it was a little tough pitting our strength against that of the wind. We did not see any kangaroos or hear any birds, we wonder why. Uhm, yes we have an answer the wind was to loud. SL TFTC

Found it

After caching to the north and east of Murray Bridge yesterday, we concentrated on caching closer today. In particular we focussed on the "Walkies" and "Butchwalking" series with some additional caches along the way. We really enjoyed walking through the reserves - so different to reserves and parks at home. Along the way we appreciated the variations in the trunks of the trees, particularly some of the gum trees, and the flowering gums were superb. The area, however, was incredibly dry. Throughout the forest there were furrows in the ground reminiscent of plantations at home - we wondered if the area had been a plantation at some time in the past.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks CPwanderer for the cache and the "Butchwalking" series.

I'd been in Adelaide for a couple of meetings so what better than to stop for a couple of caches on the way home. Decided to finish the butch walking series it was a pretty hot day for April got through a bit of my water and my Fitbit steps for the day were off the chart. TFTC and this series!

Yay another find

While Mrs C was out shopping with her mum, Mr C decided to go out and grab some caches. I did approximately 10kms of walking during the morning . A good lot of caches found, with no slithery ones about although I encountered 3 sleepy lizards and plenty of kangaroos.

TFTC

Out for an afternoon's caching with the Double Helix Clan, we decided to start with the "Butchwalking" series. With two cars, including the DHC's 7-seater, we easily tackled the series in two sections with a lunch break in between. TFTC CPwanderer!

Still out walking around in this beautiful area! I love where geocaching takes us! Its places we usually just drive past, its really nice to stop and look around! Thankyou for bringing us out here and thankyou for the cache!

Found on a nice peaceful morning walk through the forest on a sunny but brisk day. Perfect weather for caching! Another easy find thanks to the recurring nature of the hides.

Thanks CPwanderer.

Found it on a beautiful crisp Saturday morning. Very peaceful out here and a perfect spot for a cache trail. TFTC

Back to finish off this series of caches, finally!
Couldn't have picked a better day for it either, cold, raining, cold, with nearly 16 year old dog along for the walk (she showed no signs of slowing up until we were at the last cache though!), cold, raining, and did I mention it was cold and raining?
However this is a great place to walk in the rain. It really comes to life in the wet, the colours are more intense, the smells are more intense, and the white wing choughs sound spookier somehow.
Enjoyed the different vegetation that's found in this northern section of the woodlands compared to elsewhere, and of course we enjoyed the walk and caches.

Awesome. Bush is getting thick

Almost done. Stopped here for some photos with the_xtrailers & geodogs. SL. TN. Left signature item. TFTC

A nice easy find along a lovely trail in beautiful bushland. Lovely day of fine, but overcast weather. Perfect for completing a trail such as this. Had Geo Daughters (1pinkexplorer & 1funnyhoney) and friend Hevwalker12 with geomutts in tow

Out for the day with DoubleHelixClan and messy61. We juggled vehicles and worked out the best plan of attack, including a lunch break about half way through. The weather was perfect really, not too warm and not too cool and we all enjoyed the outing. Thank you for a great collection of caches. Cache #2019.

Spent the day out with Crane2, DoubleHelixClan and new members Stunkypanda2006 and Gnomeo2007 as we tackled the Butchwalking series. Weather was fine and not too hot by the time we finished, but there were a few tired bodies. Really enjoyed the walk and the cache series. TFTC

Out and about we visited ward
z and they let me be free. What an interesting place to see. Out with locus earthlight travellinbees and CP. A nice day for a hike.
Now up the hill to do some of CPs caches new territory to make yellow instead of green.
Thanks for placing the caches for us to find.

Headed up to cp territory to do two walking trails. We headed out with locus, harleyjohn, earthlight, claire007, sylken and Cp to cache with friends old and new.... Not old in age either
What a great place to visit. A sandy trail to work our legs. Thanks for the offer of a hike on a Saturday. This is why Mrs B loves caching.
Thanks for the cache

A great day for a butchwalk with cooling southerly winds and sunny skies (mostly). So I put on my butchwalking shoes and set out to walk this series of caches. I saw lots of kangaroos and birds, adding two new birds to my twitchers list - red-capped robin and brown-headed honeyeater. I also came across many groups of white-winged chough and a group of white-browed babblers.

I also saw lots of sleepy lizards but no snakes (thank goodness). This area is great for walking being mainly flat with not much undergrowth.

Thanks for a series that gave me lots of exercise CPWanderer.

With decent weather being forecast a plan was hatched to do some walking caches today in company with Sylken. Mrs Felix was the designated driver (drop n go) and book reader for the walkers. Although she did manage to walk 1 series today.



Fabulous weather and company, caches in good order and with good co-ords made for a really enjoyable day. (except for the enormous mosquitoes that seemed to follow us everywhere [xx(] )


We saw plenty of goannas, lots of birdlife out and about, some butterflies, kangaroos, and even an orchid on the side of the track.

Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at the next Australian Geocaching Mega event

Geohubby and I have just arrived in Murray Bridge to spend a few weeks tackling the many caches in the area. We were originally booked for the Mega event at Easter but family illness meant we had to cancel at the last minute. We are now able to try to add some more smileys to our tally. We have spent some very enjoyable times with FelixII since they arrived in SA after meeting them at a big event they organised in Busselton WA in 2013.

We were lucky enough to catch up with them again before they move further south, eventually heading for Victoria. Today we tackled a few caches that have been published since they were in Murray Bridge last.

We tallied 45 finds and no DNF's. All caches had excellent co-ords and were in good condition. I apologise for the generic log....I suspect with so many caches to be found around here that there will be many more such logs but we really appreciate all the work, time and effort that has been put into each and every cache by the CO's.

Glorious weather, fantastic company and a tidy sum of smileys made for a very enjoyable day.

Many thanks for the hide CPwanderer [^]

Found it!

Nice easy one, tftc

Found at 18:27 with Olga.

We set off on this series in what looked like a lovely stroll in the park..literally.
Green grass underfoot and lovely trees all around. The grass (well, really a carpet of soursobs) looked well trimmed.

Little did we realise that by the time we did the series to the end (with the couple of extras) and returned to the car that we would have done 11.33kms! We were a little weary by then.

We saw a bit of wildlife: a couple of hares, a number of kangaroos, a gang of monarch birds which seemed to follow us, and numerous currawongs.

Unlike Ferries MacDonald park, there wasn't much in the way of wildflowers, although we did see some gorgeous grevilleas in flower. There were lots of various fungi around. Some having been dug up by creatures unknown. We think that the kangaroos and wallabies eat them, as do bandicoots. But this is at home in Tassie, so not sure if its the same here.

Aren't we lucky that we have access to areas as lovely as this. And aren't we lucky that dedicated cachers like CPwanderer go to so much effort to place caches in these areas to encourage us to come and use them.

Thank you again CPwanderer, a thoroughly enjoyable series and walk.

Headed up to CP Territory to grab some of the walking caches. Grabbed some on the way as well. TFTC.

Enough light left in the day to finish off the butch walking to a cannon series, lots of birdlife around here as we hopped from cache to cache saw plenty of fungi as well TFTC CP

One good thing about doing this series now is minimum chance of snakes and the weather isn't too darn hot, oh that's two, never mind you get the idea.
Another find another sign another tucking away carefully. Tftc CPwanderer

Out for a day of walking.

Did the Butchwalking and Tracks On A Track series.

Also did some of the Keep Active caches so I think all up I did about 15 kms.



TFTC

The end is near ..... a great series for the juniors to help with. Now if they would only learn to point the torch at the ground, really if you point it to the sky it is no help.
Note to self.....invest in one torch per cacher.

Drizzly and wet in the hills so decided to head to a dryer clime. This series fitted the bill perfectly. A great series with spot on coords allowing for a pleasant walk. Only saw a couple of kangaroos. Wildlife a bit scarce today. TFTC CPwanderer.

Out caching for the day in the bush! This series was very good and kept us cache occupied!

A little late logging so my apologies. This is a fantastic series, and an easy to share with the family. We found all sorts of wildlife when we weren’t making too much noise. TFTC.

Beautiful day for a walk in the park [^]
Started at one end and did the whole series, then returned at a nice leisurely pace.
Lots of roos and birds around today, and the occasional hare!
Cheers & TFTExercise CPW

We're doing this series in an odd pattern. The fourth on this walk for us today. Took geomutt who had a great day's walking. THLNSL.

Found on a cool and windy day with a small group on the last day of the MEGA.

A nice day for a walk through some sparse scrubby bush. So different to the hills and thick scrub and trees around where we live in Victoria. Thankfully no blackberries!
Finally think we have the new GPSr sorted out as we came straight to this one.
TNLN TFTC

We targeted this series to do on our way home from the Mega. We luxuriated in being able to walk in nice crisp fresh air and not be totally soaked in sweat after the first 5 minutes. We also enjoyed just following the arrow on the GPSr with no set paths to walk on (good of you to train all those kangaroos to keep the grass nice and short CP).
Mr TiedyeSmileys was doing a good impression of 'Butch' walking with chest thrust out and taking the lead. The effect was ruined however when a monster hare the size of a small deer leaped out of a bush at his feet and pelted off nearly over his feet leaving him squealing like a school girl.

A great little series that really enjoyed.

TFTC

Travelled over from New Zealand for the SA Mega, teamed up with Vistra to gather a few more caches as we travelled from Murray Bridge to Adelaide. Decided after many days doing drive bys that a walk was needed.

A small geotrail is starting to develop around each of the caches in this series. Really loved wandering through these woods with no particular paths laid out, made a nice change. Quick find and thanks for the series.

Found at 12:30 PM GAFF1 in the company of Alansee and The Drovers x 0.5.
After a big night last night we headed off to do this series of caches which we thought would clear our heads. It was a bit cool and windy, but we soldiered on Actually it became quite mild by the time we started on the walk.
Thanks CPwanderer.

I am over from New Zealand for Oz Mega 2014 and on my last day in town joined forces with Yorkshirekiwi83 to knock off a few more caches before heading to Adelaide for the night. Decided we still had time for another trail, so had a go at this series. It was an enjoyable wander around the bush and all caches were quick finds. Spotted a few kangaroos in the area and got a hell of a shock when one of them came bounding right past us at one cache, while it was being chased by a dog! TFTC!

What can you say that's different, one log to the next, on a power trail? At least this trail was an interesting and pleasant walk. Mr Dog -aka Kobi - loved it, as did we. pleasantly overcast and cool.

A quick find as we head back to Murray Bridge to do some Butchwalking and we have arrived to undertake our mission, it was a bit windy today which kept the flies down, no snakes spotted and only a couple of roos were spotted, one was a mum with a joey in the pouch, a very simple trail to do and one of the really cool things we spotted was on some of the mallie tree (i think its a mallie) that had just shed its bark, it was such a beautiful bronze finish : ) TFTC

Camped at Murray Bridge, while attending the OZ Mega 2014 event.
Out for a morning caching run, with Pprass and Alansee.
Enjoyed a walk through some lovely bushland, and surrounding areas.
Found a variety of cache hides, some a little tricky.
Many thanks for the cache, CPwanderer.

Out walking this great series with 3LG.
Met other cachers along the track.
A windy day with dust blowing.
All found in good condition and easily.
Did the series in reverse order.
Took trackables to visit.
