Nice spot out of TownTFTC

A beautiful country drive today around the Port Augusta area. Some spectacular views of the ranges in the distance. A quirky find at GZ. Thanks Spaceinvader9Domsky

Thank you! Easy to find

Was supposed to be headed to Adelaide for a quick trip but plans changed! Decided to head to Port Augusta for the day to cache …. as you do!

Happy caching and safe travels!

Found an old hubcap nearby, left it next to the cache as to make it easier to open container

Adelaide to Port Lincoln Road Trip!
Day Two: Quorn to Whyalla.
Weather: sensational.

I don’t know what the weather has been like around here recently - we’ve had a lot of rain around Adelaide. No issues doing the Yorkey loop in a 2WD today.

I don’t think that this cache has too many more salty summers to last, but is ok for a little bit longer, and should reach its 10th birthday. Never a good idea to place a geocache in a sport that also looks like a good place for a covert poo.

Thanks for the cache SpaceInvader9.

It’s officially a Mega!

Beautiful view of the ranges from here. Did I just see a flock of budgerigars? I think so.

TFTC Spaceinvader9
Keep smiling

Drove the dirt loop past Yorkey’s Knob and logged caches along the route. Great view of the ranges and salt pans

Nearly missed it as was looking at the wrong tree and then at the wrong altitude. Wasn’t expecting to find it there. Back to the car for a tool to get the rusty lid off.

On a road trip around the Mid North and Eyre Peninsula, geocaching as I go. Predominantly targeting old caches, solved mysteries and grabbing some interesting looking traditionals.

After a bite to eat, I was ready to grab a few more caches.

Thanks for the cache Spaceinvader9.

Thanks Spaceinvader9.

We have visited this town many times over the years and never driven this road so today is the day T.F.T.C.

Found on a short camping and caching trip north from Adelaide with FeatherWaite.

We slowly made our way up to near Lake Gairdner on the first day, picking up some selected traditional, letterbox and multi caches along the way. We then went across to Hiltaba where we travelled around part of the property, visiting Hiltaba Lookout and Mount St Mungo to find some more caches, including a couple of FTFs, before heading down to near the Gawler Ranges National Park to camp. Then it was off to Whyalla where we targeted a few multis and traditional caches before returning to Adelaide the following day.

Unlike our trip to the south east a fortnight ago, where we were pretty well rained out, we enjoyed reasonable weather with clear skies for most of the time; the only exception being a bit of rain overnight in the Gawler Ranges area.

Most of the caches were found in good condition, although we did have to replace a couple of containers and logbooks.

Thanks Spaceinvader9 for the cache.

Another quick find in the bush away from the town. I also like the how the container blend into a roadside area. TFTC.

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.

Thanks to Gatewayucwcsa for placing the cache for us to find.

Enjoying our drive today. TFTC

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

A few things to get done in Port Augusta today, so I really thought we would only concentrate on the two previous DNS at the Arid Gardens. I had heard they had been replaced. After finding them, we almost went back to the van, but kept finding "next closest" gave us another, and another smily face as we drove around the Yorkies Crossing road. We ended up having a 10 out of 10 day.

Found here, hidden by a tree. Thanks for the hide gatewayucwcsa

Good camo - doesn’t look out of place in this terrain.

Good old Yorkey.

Thanks Gatewayucwcsa. and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

I think I’m always going to come e this way from now on. TFTC

Great cache and we're loving the drive. You'll need a screwdriver or at least your key.

Work's done and dusted for the week which means a free afternoon for caching - the target was to travel Yorkeys Crossing and find caches along the way. Great views and playing dodgem with trucks made the day.

The parking area was a handy place for me to have lunch after a successful cache hunt.

Thanks for the cache gatewayucwsa.

Thought this was a quiet road but I was mistaken. Found the cache in a swirl of dust

28.04.18 tftc found it now to open it mmm

decamped and slowly, very slowly making my way to whyalla. quick find.

TFTC

With recent rains this road is a bit chopped up but still passable even to a two-wheel drive vehicle like mine

This was another find for me on my way in to PA from Yorkey's Crossing after grabbing a freight train pic with a Muggle mate. A quick find and sign at 08:55 on Sunday, 3 Dec 2017. All within the cache is good and dry [^] TFTC Gatewayucwcsa

A nice easy cache find

A nice easy park (but not behind the tree) and grab.

Thanks for the cache Gatewayucwcsa. Found on 14 Oct 2017 at 7:41 pm. Find #5265.

Nice drive, awesome views with a quick find at GZ
TFTC

Apologies for the late log ... life interrupted my logging. I hate it when that happens!

A quick find of yet another different container. Enjoying our drive around Yorkey's Crossing and the interesting locations and views.

Mrs Gizmo escaped for a two day caching trip to Port Augusta with Dr Owl and CPwanderer.
After some annoying DNFs we headed off for a hot afternoon drive around Yorkey's Crossing and hopefully no more DNFs.

TFTC gatewayucwcsa!

Quickly located with Gizmos Gang and Dr Owl!! thanks for the hide!

CPWanderer, Gizmo's Gang and Owl ran away for a caching adventure. They had a lovely drive around Yorkey's Crossing, finding a variety of caches. This was something different again and a quick find by CP.

Found it. TFTC

Found it!

Biro didn't work so I left one of mine and a crossword puzzle, took nothing.

Found on a geocaching day in the area, we had an awesome time finding a great selection of caches we hadn't visited before. Thanks for the great work you put in placing and maintaining them.

Out and about in the Port for the day with time to kill so we did the rounds and collected a few great caches to keep us busy. Perfect weather with no wind and gentle Autumn sunshine. We did notice how clear the air is up here now the power station is closed. Thanks for the effort in putting out these caches.

Cool find with toys

Cool bananas

#6479 - 13:10; Day 7 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune and albida33, so most logs were signed S.A.L. as a result. After a night in Port Augusta, today's plan was to cache in and around Port Augusta and Stirling North before heading south towards Whyalla for a couple of nights and produced 88 finds along with only 4 DNFs. After a morning caching around Port Augusta and Stirling North, we headed off for a circuit around Yorkeys Crossing. This was one of our eleven finds from eleven attempts as we went around enjoying the views and the caches. TFTC gatewayuswcsa

Alice trip 2017. Day 5. With Sol de Lune and LuckL10n we started caching around Pt Augusta and Stirling before heading to Whyalla via a few of the short trails. A loop around Yorkeys crossing yielded several caches.

Thanks.

Albida

On the road to the Alice Springs Mega with LuckyL10n and Albida33. We headed through Burra and Port Pirie before arriving in Port Augusta for the trek up the highway. Collected a good number of caches and all were found with no issues and the logs were soon signed. (Some logs were signed as S.A.L. to save space.)

Thanks for the cache and fun in getting to it and finding it.

I have had my eye on these ones for a while so it was good to finally get here.

After overnighting in Port Augusta it is time to continue our journey northward to the Oz Mega Event in Alice Springs. But first we must place some more smiles on the map for this area.

We have turned a couple of unfound in town to smilies now it's time to stay away from the black top for as long as we can. (Which won't be long around here)

TNLN SL TFTC

Sorry for the templates log but we have a few to do and not long to do them in.

Found by Mary & David at 0930. Day 4 of our road trip to Alice Springs and Darwin. Had just the right TOTT for the occasion. Our thanks to Gatewayucwcsa.

A few new caches in the town since we last passed through here. Today we drove around Yorkey's Crossing then found a few others on the way home.

Decided to take the Yorkeys Crossing tour before continuing today's trip to Whyalla and was pleased I did, a great road and some surprisingly scenic views. All good here, a quick find, signed the logbook, and replaced the cache as found.

Many thanks for the hide.
