Making our way towards home over the next few weeks travelling with 2 dogs and a cat we have found caching a great way to give the fur babies a break. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining.

Tftc. Enjoyed my overnight stay in Tumby Bay.

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 10 - Cleve to Port Lincoln via Port Neill and Tumby Bay. My short days continue and I spent a bit of time around Cleve before I got under way. Plenty of roadside caches along the highways. I ventured into Pot Neill, Tumby Bay and Port Louth to check out the villages. As ever I would have loved to have stopped for lunch or dinner in each one, but I stuck to the plan and made it to the caravan park in Port Lincoln. Once I was set up I went and did a few more caches on the edge of town. A couple more Counties today. I'll spend another day here tomorrow before heading North West to th Nullabor over a few days after that.My second detour was into Tumby bay and I was very taken by how peaceful and well provided the town is, even on a sunder quite a few places were open.Thanks for the cache chrispy8946619.24 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 8000 Finds Achievement A#229**Albida**

A quick sign and Find.

Day 19 of our greynomad trip up north and today we are finally heading north. Started raining in the early hours, and even considered another night at Coffin Bay, but decided to see how far we would comfortably get.

Todays targets are LGA's on the eastern side of the peninsula and throwing some silo art in as well.

We were scouting out what to find next and noticed that this one was placed by chrispy, perfect, let’s do that one a nice easy find with rumpuslabs, Tftc

Country, Coffee, Cats, Champagne, Chocolate, and Caching...
Careful caching as always with Jack helping, wherever we go.
It's a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and objects falling from trees
...... but a cache a day still keeps the boredom away

--------

Most of our caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp )

----------
Make sure that Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - clean and cache the countryside


It's awesome of all those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas,
in sensible safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!!

[:o)]


The end. For now...


... until next time!

Easy find lol

Ducked across the road for this cache after checking out the silo art. Found it quickly but the owner of the nearby shed spotted us. He was probably wondering why we were rummaging around in the bushes on the side of the highway.

In the area with Csaba! and Supaturtle. Tra La Laaa

Turtle made a find. Turtle Out

Was in Lincoln for the week. Made the find with the Supa's on the way home. Thanks

Quick find heading out of town

Love to have a more evocative pic but it’s a working silos! But Bingo bango how stunnin Bingo bango how impressive. Enroute to Port Lincoln with time to stop in this lovely well kept historic town. Day 15 in SA after numerous trips were sabotaged due to you know what and its a fab day. The Ikera- Flinders Ranges, Whyalla, Port Lincoln and a few in between caches are high on the list along with several other random caches so hoping to tick all boxes before heading back to home base. I’ve learnt theRE are plenty of quality SA caches - plenty to pique the curiosity and anticipation of another surprise or fun cache. TFTC AND THE FUN and the effort to contribute to this fave game rr but here’s a pic. Enroute to Port Lincoln with time to stop in this lovely well kept historic town.

Another cache found during our 2022 South Australia adventure using Geocaching as our guide.

There is no shortage of Silos in Eye Peninsula, but this one sports some stunning art.

Thanks chrispy89.

Sorry forgot to post this last year I didn’t know what I was doing so I didn’t write my find. Anyway this is what I would have said:wow my first find ever so fun thanks for the cache. Sorry I didn’t post sooner but thanks anyway

Great find. Thanks

Hanging out in Tumby Bay today and managed to find a few caches.

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. How good is this country!!

chrispy89, I found TUMBY BAY SILOS today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

After a nice stop at the silo art it was a quick find for this one TFTC

Good one Cheers and tftc

Port Lincoln to Adelaide road trip.
Day One: Port Lincoln to Cleve.
The East Coast has barely even started drying out but conditions here are perfect.
Roads aren’t busy either.
Thanks to all the COs for making the Eyre Peninsula a great caching destination.

Quite a few SPORs noted on the walk in to GZ - have they been placed as decoys? You can’t see the silos from GZ!

Thanks Chrispy89.

Yikes, a bit snakey but a good find!

Staying at Tumby Bay CP. went for a drive to Lipson & Ungarra & picked up a few caches on the way. Tftc

Great spot to hide it. A bit harder to find.

So many caches, so little time.

On our last afternoon in the Port Lincoln area, we decided to drive north and visit Tumby Bay. Our last find in this lovely town. TFTC

We left Port Lincoln this morning and went wandering north with ilook4geo, picking up some of the caches along the way. Each found log was signed with two more names to mark our visit. Thank you chrispy89 for placing this cache for us to find and to 17eagle for maintaining it.

On the road with goinplaces2 and heading toward Tumby Bay. Having a nice slow day with just a few caches. Found what we wanted, signed the logs, all were replaced. Job done! TFTC.

A very slow meander home from Pt Lincoln collecting caches along the way. Time restraints are starting to kick in to make sure I’m home in time to pick up the kids from care, so now I can no longer wander off the beaten track and must stick to those quick finds enroute. My app did decide to tell me I was standing in the middle of the intersection & not moving (despite having overshot the cache), but a quick change to Cachly and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC!

While on our honeymoon we spent the day caching and walking around Tumby Bay. Great spot for fish and chips for lunch at the beach and walking around the very picturesque scenery along the shoreline tracks, along some beaches and around the point near the island. We picked up the caches on the north road on the way out of town to Port Lincoln. TFTC

Tftc Tnln

TFTC. Wolly found one .... on his own!!!
8-2 in Sharon’s favour though!
Happy caching and safe travels!

We are staying in Pt Lincoln for a couple of nights on the first leg of our trip to WA and today we were visiting friends in Lipson for lunch. On the way back we stopped in here to look at the silo art and find a couple of caches for another LGA off my list.

Made our way to GZ the hard way but managed to find the cache quickly then headed back to the car the easy way.

Thanks for the cache chrispy69.

Found while holidaying in Port Lincoln.TFTC

Just stopped in to find some geocaches, loved this one very much. Thanks!

Loving these quick finds. Thank you for the placement of this cache chrispy89 find number 7359 at 15 February 2021 2:19 pm

A quick duck down a spot I could no see the silos from!! Gee Ron did a good job.

Thanks to chrispy89 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

A weekend heading to Port Lincoln picking up caches along the way. TFTC

Found It!

Found it

Brad and Janet had planned two overseas trips this year. But COVID-19 put an end to those plans.
However it is an ill wind as they say. We recently went to Arkaroola and the Gammon Ranges for a great trip. There have also been some shorter troops around SA.
This time the plan is to explore the Eyre Peninsula in a leisurely manner. And perhaps grab a few geocaches along the way.
Today is day 4. Heading from Cowell to Port Lincoln with stops at Port Neill, Tumby Bay, and a beach drive at Boston Point. And grabbing a few caches along the way.
Quick find and sign and on we go.

Day 8 of our Eyre Peninsula caravan odyssey with the geo-pup, from Tumby Bay to Port Lincoln

TFTC

Nice cache. TFTC

Thanks

Good little find on the way out of town.

A 2 week tour of the West Coast started in Streaky Bay, then to Coffin Bay, then to Tumby Bay and finally a couple of days in Whyalla.

All caches were in good condition unless I've posted a Needs Maintenance log.

A windy day as we toured the back blocks of Tumby Bay.

TFTC

There were a few muggles around this area today but we avoided them and made a quick find and sign before returning the cache to its hidey spot. TFTC

Danger, swooping birds , (magpie) apart from that, quick easy find on a very windy day tftc

A quick find today. Thanks chrispy89 and 17eagle.

This weekend, I joined gridge98 on a trip to Eyre Peninsula, primarily visiting Port Lincoln and its surroundings. We saw its famous marina full of trawlers, and we also ended up visiting Coffin Bay and enjoyed fresh oysters. A nice weekend with weather, and certainly a great vicinity to see.

Today leaving Whyalla, we headed down the Lincoln Highway, passing through Cowell, Cleve, Arno Bay, Port Neill, and Tumby Bay. Just prior to lunch, we also completed the *Cleve Cleaver* geoart trail. A rather long day of geocaching numbers, but the inland and coastal towns were enjoyable to visit, along with the various picturesque beaches along the way.

After taking a few photographs of the silos' art from the other side, it was good to also make a stop at the other side for a few photographs. No reverse artwork though. I then scurried down the road embankment, and made the quick cache find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks chrispy89 for the cache placement, and 17eagle for its ongoing maintenance.
