Driven to Learn Mount Gambier, South Australia, Australia
By lamarhabry on 06-Jan-15. Waypoint GC5JWA1

Found during a long weekend geocaching around Mt Gambier that saw an entertaining variety of caches and events, some caches as easy finds, others challenging, a few that required a hint from a kindly CO to locate, and one or two failed attempts that will need a return visit to cross off the list! Thanks for the cache lamarhabry!

Looked for sometime before realizing it was lying out in the open on the ground. Returned it to a position near to where I had found a cable tie. Tftc

I came down with mogni to do cache maintenance on some of her caches in Mount Gambier and surrounds. quick find.

Quick find. TFTC

TFTC

Found It!
The gates where closed today so I had to walk in. Then after looking in the obvious spots, I found the cache elsewhere...
TFTC

Find 5 for the day found 2 containers with logs so combined them into 1

It took me a minute or two to work out how to get in here with all the gates closed, which was to walk in. At GZ it took a couple of minutes to locate the cache which I suspect is not where it should be, but is in plain sight.

Nice and easy

Tftc

Quick find, have replaced the cache holder and added new log,. TFTC

An easy find

found it but log book disintegrated in my hands desperately needs replacing Thanks for the cache

Well hidden!

Good hide. Out of school hours is best.

Might be time for a new container.

Hi there lamarhabry.

This is the 3rd of 3 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here but there were too many muggles, so here's a DNF from us.

Regards
Ian and Penny

Needs replacing.

Needs replaced

Headed to an event at the Mount with cabbos and naturally left ourselves plenty of time to cache our way there.

Found two caches at this location although only signed the yellow one because the crushed eclipse tin would not give up the log book

Caching with earth light today.. nice quiet time to get this cache.. Interesting structures.! TFTC

Lucky the facility was closed today so Cabbos and I had the place to ourselves .
Luv the metal sculptures closeby and the old ruin at the top of the hill in the distance cache has seen vetter days but log still dry. TFTC

Nice little area.
Log needs replacing bit wet

Caching with hevwalker and grandie, this cache was found on the ground and squashed, so after a bit of manipulation with a tool from the car we were able to extract the log sign it and replace it back in it's container. The cache was replaced back where hevwalker had remembered where it she had originally found it. TFTC

I found with no problem, but the container is damaged and I couldn't extract the pencil and log book. But otherwise is a good cashe .

Cool

Cool

Awesome hiding place

Out and about with Bradley and Ryan

On the ground, not hidden, re stashed with a fork.

Easy find

Tftc, out with all the kids for the day, thanks.

Came for our first geocaching as a family at night and was loads of fun

Awesome spot good with the kids to find

Yay-finally found now the cache has been replaced

Took a while. Thought it was hidden well. A quick sign of the log and more caching we will go. Thanks for the cache

missing cache has been replaced

We were driven to cache today, and a bit of learning was done along the way. Quite busy here today so a disguise of keen photographers was used today. Out for a day of meandering across the south east picking up the odd cache as we go and we came across this one, interesting art nearby and yep great old buildings in the distance too.
Thanks lamarhabry for bringing us here and for the cache. Log was damp but still signable, replaced as found after signing. Cheers Kookacrew

Great find

Fun

An easy find thanks

Found it on and outing wif tippythegeo

Found thanks to geograndad's keen eyes! Spent time looking in all the wrong places until it was spotted. Tricky little cache. TFTC

Tftc

We found this after a short search where the monsters lurked. Our timing was a little off as workers from the nearby buildings were leaving work so we need to be a little careful. SL and replaced. TFTC

Spent a few minutes looking in the wrong places, but found it after a while. Thanks

Found it with beaker and ferociousflea on our little daily geocaching trip. TFTC! Also, i took the trackable and will move it on

Tricky little buggar

Another one found

Interesting

Found it no school today...Left a kiddy coin...log soggy

Found it

Cool sculptures we both liked them TFTC

We managed a nice quick park and grab with this one today and after a pretty easy find we made our way back out only to find the gates locked....Huh?? Thats the last time I get Yoshi Warriors to navigate my way in, after a little detour we soon found a way out and after the nervous chuckles subsided I decided that a short walk into the gz may be a better option next time. Thanks lamarhabry for the cache.

In Mount Gambier with Happy Pants for a day of caching. Most of the entrances were closed apart from one, so we drove in there. Happy Pants was worried about getting locked in, but I said it would be fine, no ones going to close it off in the next few minutes. Well, after finding the cache we returned to find the same driveway closed off. We reckon someone saw us drive in. Fortunately we managed to find our way out. Happy Pants isn't listening to me anymore! TFTC lamarhabry.

Our geokid rode their bike there and did a great job. TFTC!

Suscoe headed out early today as our time in Mount Gambier is quickly disappearing.
It was a very foggy start to the day but as time went by the blue sky gently emerged and a splendid day was had by us.
45 cache finds in total which was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed all the finds.
This is a terrific location for geocaching and we have loved our time in the Mount.

A delightful spot with some clever metal work too boot.
Thanks to lamarhabry for showing us this place.

Yay third today!

Tftc. Logged our visit

Found this one with one of our Geokids and also for the help you know who lol . Tiges

Dance Laugh Sparkle !! Fun find - Big smiles

Dance Laugh Sparkle !! Fun find - Big smiles

A nice morning caching around the Mt Gambier area with hevwalker, CPWanderer and GoodLook.
The area was closed and quiet due to the weekend.
Found after a shortish search, thanks for the cache lamarhabry

Found whilst enjoying a great weekend in Mount Gambier.

I liked the artistic sculptures, but sadly one of the guards had been knocked down. CP was a legend and climbed this tree as it was just out of reach....

Thanks for the cache lamarhbry, certainly an area I would never have ventured in to had it not been for your cache.

Found this cache with clare007 and hevwalker on an expedition to the south east! We had perfect weather on our trip …. Picking up some great Traditionals, multis and puzzles and a number of earthcaches. We also attended the Aussie Outback Event in Mount Gambier and local teams TT016 and Spanner111 took us on a nightcaching run!
Goodlook had joined us ............... located after a short search ... thanks for the hide!!

=-}

BAIMAX found it ☺️

Easy find, but I don't think it was where it was meant to be. It was sitting out in the open. TFTH

May need to check it has been put back in the correct location.

Needs up date paper & good for the kids

Tftc!!

After finding our way in to GZ we were impressed with the cache guardians. An easy find here today and a favourite point from us for the entertainment value. TFTC

A super quick find, although not where we expected. Saw lots of young hot tradies nearby!! Lol

Easy

Took a little longer than it should have. Was a metre or two away from the coordinates.

easy and fun

Found it!! Thanks

Snuck in at night to locate this cache. There were people obviously still doing courses and the gates were open. TFTC lamarhabry

Yayyy it was in a odd place and I love the snakes

In Mount Gambier for a caching weekend with Mrs. M, as Mr. M was away in Canberra working and perhaps getting a cache or two. Caught up with mogni and headed out for another great day of caches and laughs.
Loved the guards and then found the cache hidden directly above Mrs. M head! Thanks for another cache lamarhabry.

Almost missed this cache. Just checked and had forgotten to log it. Interesting spot with great cache guardians. Lucky for Brisal5 that I stood near the cache so he could make the find. TFTC.

TFTC

My first find!!!

09/08/2015 This was a nice little spot, and the camo on container was interesting.we shouldn't always presume that we will find treasures in obvious places.

Nice use of a cable tie tftc
