Taking a tour of Kimba via the caches. It was actually easier to see the cache than the silos but that was good as we were on our way to the official viewing spot anyway. TFTC chrispy89.
On our travels we found ourselves in Kimba and took the opportunity to grab a few caches, our GPS had us walking in circles for a minute but soon spotted the prize and had it in hand, thanks for plaicjnyit
Having a stroll around Kimba this evening and grabbing a couple of caches. This one was a quick find. TFTC

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 last find in Kimba, before continuing my move from WA to FNQ in the morning.
Ingenious cache housing, simple yet fitted the area well, I thought

Nice distant view of the silos and some history.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australian and down the coast of WA. Geocaching has taken us to so many great places in this beautiful country. I was happy to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.
This was a quick find at GZ.
Thanks chrispy89 for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

I photographed the silos last night, and I think they look better at night. Muddy roads here. TFTC chrispy89
The silo art in Kimba is beautiful, the colors of the sunset are gorgeous. This cache was found quickly and easily while staying at the free RV camping area at the recreation reserve.
We definitely wanted to see the silos today while we were out caching. An enjoyable day was had. TFTC
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.

Today was a lovely slow caching and shopping day while staying in Kimba with ilook4geo. All the caches were easy enough to find and all logs were signed with two more names. Thanks go to chrispy89 for this cache placement.
Decided to stay in Kimba for a while and go cache hunting with goingplaces2. Found what we wanted, signed all the logs and replaced each cache as found. Job done! TFTC.
Found on our way west, hoping for a whale of a time
Part of Chrispy’s long-standing silo series, but dine forget to make time for the gorgeous silo art in town
