Thanks ClareValleyCaching for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #10761 on 2/11/2024 at 4:47PMA plan was hatched to ride along the Riesling Trail and collect a few caches. A delightful day in the company of Cheezel and Jolly riding along and signing logs. This is a special place, very enjoyable. We also collected some others that were nearby or along the way.

No. 7 on the Rattler Trail. TFTC

Thanks

TFTC. Out with Shumba7 on a rail trail road trip.

TFTC found while on a trip to SA doing a couple of rail trails with Algae. I rode my bicycle and Algae rode his electric unicycle. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches for us to find.

As we wander through the land, grabbing caches and seeing the sights even occasionally catching up with friends A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles covered Thanks for placing them *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Over the last few days we have chosen to walk various parts of the Riesling/Rattler trails grabbing any caches we could find as we passed by. Many thanks for the hide ClareValleyCaching

Stopped off here after a weekend of gravel riding in ClareA quick find, stamp and returnTFTC

Walked passed it initially but quick find doubling back. TFTC #556

Did a trip to Riverton to give the mobility scooter a run to do the southern end of the rattler trail. TFTC

Spending a few days exploring and caching around the Clare Valley. Visiting some towns that I haven’t been before so lots of unfound geocaches up for grabs.

Day one was Hamley Bridge, Stockport, Tarlee and Riverton. Very warm today so didn’t break any records and needed frequent stops to rehydrate.

After checking in to the Riverton Caravan Park, I set off on my bike to make a start along the Rattler Trail. Only one DNF on the trail today.

After a couple of hours on my bike, the cool water of the Riverton Pool was beckoning me so I called it a day a headed back to Riverton.

Thanks for the cache cvc.

My brother found it as soon as we got out the car and we haven’t even turn on the phone

Thanks easy find for the 4 year old!

A big long weekend with the JAMS Crew (JJ52, allister w(me), mogni, Sir Spectre and tallbikestan). We road from Riverton to Stanley Flat on day 1. Then more riding near Spalding on day 2. Then finished the weekend with finding caches around the area in the car. TFTC

Found with the JAMS crew on a huge caching weekend near Clare.

So glad we had electric bikes to do this trail.
The JAMS team ( JJ52,Allister w, Mogni, and sir_spectre minus mitchell&hound ) but Tallbikestan was with us instead and we where out for there usually monthly caching adventure. This time it was over the october long weekend instead of the usual day trip. The taget this time was Drop into the Light a long ladder cache on the way to clare and then to clear the Rattler trail, Riesling Trail, Ne Trail saturday on the bikes and then sunday do the Mid North Channel Country bike trail. Monday on the return home was to get Peter's view a 2001 cache. Of course there was many, many other's found on route to the various target for the weekend, somewhere around 260 found by the team. It could have been more but we were not going at a flat out pace, just steady and getting a blow out on the bike 1.6 km's from the end of the Mid North Channel Country bike trail didn't help. I didn't see any snakes this trip but allister did, he saw 5. The caches this trip where written in as JAMS, i forgot the stamps. Also 1 cache was placed by the JAMS team this trip. Out of all the bike tracks i preferred the Rattler /Riesling trail. I like riding through the very rich ( after all the recent rains ) fields of yellow flowers.

Found out with jams group riding electric bikes logged as jams

Returned to this series from starting end. I earlier did some from Auburn. On both times it was done by walking. Slow but good exercise. Thanks ClareValleyCaching.

Day fourteen of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
Our last day on the Rattler series. We drove down to Riverton and unloaded the deadly treadlies and hit the bike trails riding for the last half of the Rattler series. We then traveled to Tanunda collecting a few caches on the way.

A strong northerly on the exposed sections of trail today, which wasn't too bad as that meant a tail wind on the way back.
Another day of empty trails - how nice.
Found all but two today. One we were muggled out by cows (No.2), and one had a tree fallen (No.15).
Thanks for this great series of caches, and a lovely ride.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19230. Day 14 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. A day of moving on - leaving Clare and heading to Tanunda for a few days. First though we wanted to finish off the Rattler Trail so drove to the oval at Riverton and rode as far as #31. It was a bit of a hard slog into a strong head wind on the open sections but a pretty good ride on the way back in quick time.

This one took us a while as there were quite a few trees along here. Easier to spot once I clambered up the top and looked along.

Thanks ClareValleyCaching

On the way to Clare for a few days. Tftc.

A quick find on our doggy walk

Fourth day in SA and planning to be out on trusty treadles aka my mtb to explore the trails and surroundings every day! Enroute to Clare as a base to ride the ‘Rattler’. I’ve learnt theRE are plenty of quality SA caches - plenty to choose from. Happy and relieved to record no DNF’s today and on average most were located ‘relatively’ quickly. TFTC AND THE FUN and the effort to contribute to this fave game

Anzac Day caching!
Parked my car at the GZ of a previous find as I was turning a couple of Rattly DNF frowns upside down and found this cache on top of a pile of cut down branches and twigs so cleaned the cache out a bit and found a more hidden spot for this cache.

Today was a big day out of caching with part of the JAMS crew today it was JJ52 Allister w and myself.
We met up at 7.15am and headed off on an adventure to the East of Clare. We targeted cemeteries and Used2B churches.
All up we found around 50 caches each as well as a bonus FTF on an amazing cache at Spring Gully.
It was a fabulous day and we all had a great time. It was interesting to visit some smaller off the beaten track historical towns.
Thanks to all the CO for putting out and maintaining hides for us to find.
Al for another quick find TFTC

A caching day had been organised with Michells&hound and allister w to head north and find caches that all three of us hadn't found. It was a great day for caching and we had a lovely day driving on some out of the way tracks and roads, through some of our quaint little towns visiting lots of Used 2B Churches and historical sites. We even made a smallish detour to grab a FTF in Spring Gully Conservation Park.

Another Rattler off the list before heading in the opposite direction.

Thanks for the cache cvc.

Day 183 (Friday 28th) of our trip. Caching along the way. In Owen today. A total of 18 for the day and 3613 for the trip. TFTC.

After finding cache Rattler 64 near our camp ground in Auburn, we decided to stay one night longer, and to bike the Rattler trail to Riverton. And so we did the next morning, caching on the way and back, and enjoying a good lunch in Riverton.

All in all it was a good day, some 40 km on the bikes, 5 DNFs, good weather, nice sized boxes and a lot of fun.

Thank you for showing the beautiful surroundings and for preparation this trail. We had a fun day.

Another good find by Luke

Easy find TFTC

Found at 12:03 PM GAFF1.
A perfect morning to do the rest of this series and going from north to south was also ideal as here was a slight north breeze.
Thanks cvc

Nice easy one

TFTC This is our first cache after a lovely lunch. Now we have a big walk ahead of us to find the others

Today we left Adelaide, not without a visit of Cleland Wildlife Park and a photo with 11 years old Helen, the Koala. After that it was time to head north. In Riverton we found a place to stay for the night. And there was enough time for a nice walk on the Rattles Trail. Here found the one or other cache. Thanks for bringing us here and many greetings from Germany.

On our tour with a campervan through southeast of Australia minebine and me arrived today in Riverton, where we stayed overnight at the Riverton Caravan Park. After arrival there was enough time for a walk and so we walked a part of the Rattles Trails. We searched for caches and found five and than walked back to the campground.

Danke für den Cache - Thanks for that Cache

Decided to leave 1 and 2 till another day of football season. Merry Christmas and tftc

Headed off this morning to walk the Rattler Trail, 19.5km containing 75 caches. Happily we got them all. The day was nice for this trip with an overcast sky and lower temperatures. Most finds were nice and quick, some took a little longer and other's we had to repair with the CO's permission. Our walk took us a little longer than we thought it would, but we took care not to run into any snakes today. Saw a group of kangaroo's, which ran ahead of us for half a dozen caches.

This cache was a nice quick find. tftc

Quick find. TNLNSL. Tftc.

Thanks for the series so far.

We have had the Rattler series on our "to do" list since the caches were first published but we have never been in the area for sufficient time to make a start. However we had a couple of days spare after completing the Gone Fishn' series on the Yorke Peninsula. So we decided to stay a couple of nights in Auburn and to make the Rattler our priority. With the likelihood of another hot day, we made an early start.

We broken the trail into a number of sections. Mrs y'stassie walked the first section whilst Mr y'stassie took the car to the start of the second section and started walking from there. When she arrived at the end of the first section (also the start of the second section), she took the car to the start of the third section and began walking from there, leaving the car for Mr y'stassie. In that way we halved the amount of walking.

Accurate coordinates and a logical hide location led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks cvc for the cache and the series.

Quick find TFTC.

Decided watching the GF was a waste of time so headed off on the bikes with Wal & Ol. TFTC!

After watching 3/4 of the Grand Final, decided some caching was a preferable way to spend the arvo! On the bikes with Pony1966. TFTC

Today Mr T tackled this series on a not so hot day with Roostaman. Enjoying the views and the changing country side, especially the vibrant colours of the canola fields that just went on and on, especially with the green backdrop of other paddocks. This was a highlight of this area making it a picturesque landscape. Most were easy finds at GZ, some a bit of a search, but a great day out.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this series for our enjoyment.

**# 17831** Found on the SA outback leg of our 2017 escape trip.
A fine Spring day for a trek along the Rattler trail with Tassie Trekkers.
Not many muggles around today, and mostly good quick finds.
Lots of great scenery and healthy crops along the way too.
Thanks for the cache cvc,

Apologies for generic logs. Back to finish walking the Rattler trail, with Darkmoon31, picking up where we left off in May. A very early (6am) departure from home saw us ready to go from No26 at 7am heading out in a very brisk 3 degrees. Making our way down to Riverton we arrived in plenty of time to visit the local Market on today. If you get a chance to do this then try the hot apple juice - Delicious! Could not have asked for a nicer Winters day for caching with spectacular scenery along the way. Thank you for bringing us here.

Second half of the Rattler with Team Shandyk. Going Backwards again cause thats how we rattle and roll. Very late logging this section apologies to all! Apologies also that the logs will be the same all way through!

For the last four years a group of us friends have taken our caravans to a different park not too far from the city.
This year we are in the lovely town of Riverton.
On day three after lunch a muggle friend and I walked the triangle and found and signed a few caches.
This was one of them.
Took the TB ,Gwendo's Dolphin cos my surname is Dolphin!
Thanks.

No. 3 for Mrs close-by so far this morning. TFTC

We've been driving past this cache trail for the last 18 months and with Mrs DISK away for the weekend , thought I'd finally make a start on this series today [:o)].
Drove up from the town and parked about 4 metres away from this one [8].
