A quick stop here today the cache was easily found but is wet

Today I made my way from Adelaide to Naracoorte, with only half the day I made a plan to do some of the shorter detours off the main highways to collect the odd cache here and there. With it being so hot I arrived earlier than expected in town and came away with 20 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Today I was on my way back to Adelaide from the south-east cave diving around the Mount Gambier / Millicent area. I did a morning deep dive, and then my dive buddy and I went into town to have an enjoyable lunch, before then driving back and geocaching along the way.

I had noted that this geocache had been archived some time ago, but with no evidence that the cache had been removed by the CO in the logs, as well as a subsequent find by AnyMules, I decided to make a quick stop here to see if I could find it. After five minutes of checking around, I ended up finding this archived cache! The cache container was still fine, but the logbook was slightly damp. Thanks jgc3 for the cache placement.

Well in the end we just had to look at the hint, because we had the wrong idea of how this cache was hidden - we pulled a lot of iron out looking at what way was it imbedded in it!
So - as soon as we looked at the hint - bang! Cache found thank you very much [^]
Thanks jgc3.
Feedback: A hard decision as to whether to increase the D rating and no hint, or leave it as is with a hint. Well if you want more tourists to find it - this is just the right level of D/T rating - thank you!

After staying the night at Naracoorte we need to get to a bank before going any further and parked the car and camper at one end of town. After we had finished our business we decided to go for a walk and pick up some of the local caches.

This was the first of four. We are quite amazed how many people were using this walking path at this time of the morning but at least the gaps in between were big enough to allow us to search and we were very happy when the cache was located in the third place we looked and the log book now contains our name.
Thanks jgc3 for the cache in an interesting location.

After a great night camping at Cockatoo Lake, I was headed down the road towards the Grampians Via Naracourte and Hamilton.

After breakfast nearby, I headed for this one. Nobody about this morning, so easy to search and a quick find.

Many thanks to jgc3 for the cache. TNLN.

Stopped in Naracoorte to buy an air compressor going cheaply, while in the area we went hunting a cache, depending which approach was taken we were on the right track haha. We were actually on the wrong side of the drain to start with so had to walk along until we found a crossing point.
The clue definitely helped us on this one too, thanks jgc3 for the cache, all in good condition.

In Naracoorte for the day touring caves and sightseeing. I also took the opportunity to do some caching. It took me about 10 minutes to find, mainly due to walkers, runners and cyclists constantly going past and also my GPS pointing me to a different spot. Once I finally saw the marker, it was obvious. TFTC jgc3.

Together with Spade52 I traveled for almost 6 weeks through Down Under Australia. We made our trip, using a Spaceship rental car, visiting the 5 most southern states of Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Australia Capital Territory. Spade52 was the navigator and I the driver. We mostly avoided the motorways and mainly used the coastal and local roads that led us through many small nice and rustic villages and sleeping towns. We stayed in motels, backpacker hostels and occasionally a campsite. Luckily the weather was very agreeable during our trip with nice temperatures and very little rain. We especially enjoyed the nature, the rain forest, the wilderness, the (for us) extraordinary indigenous flora and Australia's wildlife. On our trip we visited many geocaches. All CO's thanks for showing us many interesting locations and special spots.
Today we continued our tour along the Great Ocean Road again and drove into South Australia. On the way we visited some interesting sites, great views and found some geocaches. The location of this geocache was easy to find. Very nice hide and location.

How do you fill in a long weekend[?]
Head to Geelong with Mogni and Brisal5 for an event and a few days caching! Cool
All up, I found 141 caches Smile, attended 1 event Cool and had 6 DNFs Sad
We did a few series and enjoyed them, we met Bushfire and enjoyed learning about his considerable knowledge of Geelong's caches and we met Team Autumn and several other interstate teams while having a blast during the Geelong-Opoly 2015 event! [^]
All in all, a fantastic weekend.

Wandering Naracoorte on foot and this cache was one of those that we found Smile

Heading to Geelong with Locus Cache for an event on Saturday. Just had to stop and do some caches along the way. Cool Stopped in a Naracoorte to get my car serviced....it's a long story. Surprised After lunch it was a walk around for some nearby caches and then the traditional check out of Trevs Bargain Emporium. Wink The clue made this a easy find. I'm not that generous jgc3. Smile Thanks for the cache. Big Grin And yes my caching kit did grow after visiting Trevs.
