We stayed overnight at the incredible free camp in Kimba on our way back east after several months touring Western Australia. M had a webcast to attend to so I decided to head into town to grab some milk and a few geocaches as well. This was the second one I visited and I spotted the container as I approached GZ. Nice and easy.

Thanks for find #4701

My 3rd day of my trip heading to and around the Eyre Peninsular. Today I left from Iron Knob and arrived at Kyancutta home for the next 3 nights. This cache would be find number 41 of 49 for the day and find Number 83 in total for this trip away.

Wouldn't be a trip out without a "Chrispy Silos" cache.

Day 8 week 2 of 5 weeks holiday.
Rockhampton to all over South Australia.
Currently 10 degree's (it’s cooled back down again), feels like 4.

Somehow or other we end up doing the caches down the back roads at night (bags I the head lamp). Buttons has the car parked (looks more like it’s lost control down a dirt road and then been abandoned) and is off into the bush towards GZ before I am out of the car.
I’m daintily picking my way past all the imaginary spiky stuff (hey if it’s there, I’ll be the one that finds it) when she yells found it.
Tin cans, cool.
Log signed, cache replaced.

We are finally able to travel interstate without heaps of loops to jump through. We thought we would take it easy and have a look around South Australia and grab a few more LGA's while we were here.
Out for a morning run from the overnight RV spot.
Stopped in to grab this one on the way back it was a quick find.

This was find number 5 for the day.
