Nurragi Walk #12.1 Milang, South Australia, Australia
By Hurtle on 19-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5NEK6

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. Staying at Milang for a few days exploring the area and picking up a few caches. along the way. Thanks for the cache. LNCU

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Milang a few days to do the Nurragi track caches and to grab others in the area. By noon the rain had set in so after doing 3/4 of the track we all decided to go supermarket shopping in Strathalbyn. Stopped to grab a few more of the series when we got back to Milang but although the rain had abated, the wind increased Thanks for the hide. LNCU

Awesome

Beautiful day exploring Milang while staying in the caravan park.Started from Landseer Rd on wrong side of fence. Crossed fence to walking trail, then searched around Thanks for the cache which is in great condition.

On my way down to Milang for a long weekend. It was a last minute decision to come but my plan for day 1 was to finish off the Nurragi trail. I started this trail on foot back in 2012. That day I managed about 12 caches but I decided to return one day with my bike. That day as today. The track is quite overgrown in places so it was tough going in places, but still faster than walking. Today I found all of the caches left on the trail except 2. One was replaced with CO permission. The other was flagged as a DNF as it was getting late in the day and my tiredness may have impacted my ability to spot the cache. All in all it is very satisfying to get the vast majority of this trail completed. Thanks for the cache Hurtle.# # #13981 # #

Decided on a nice day to do the Nurragi Trail. Started from Milang to the Milang/Finnis Road. The rest another day. Nice walk, hard to believe there was a rail line there, very few remnants to find but plenty of geocaches!Thanks for the hides.

TFTC. Our #5 this arvo and this is where we call it quits for the day. Log signed Must have been a million steps for our chihuahua and now we turn around and walk back Enjoyed Back for the next section soonhopefully.

frmen1 & I are exploring the area and decided to have a walk before the rain came. Cache in good condition. Saw a lizard trying to get some sun (he must have listened to a different forecast than us). TFTC

Saw this one while approaching. Thanks for placing this series.

Found awhile ago with Dave’s mob!

Lovely walk tftc

Come on 5 more to go you can do it. Found with Dave’s mob

Found it after the Milang event, we ( myself a , Kayche23, northstar76, Superman_22 ) walked the full Nurragi Walk. We saw a lizard, kangaroos hopping through the field, and a ton of ants .

This was a maintenance run for the CO, we replaced some containers, replaced some logbooks, removed a container at a location where there was two, removed an archived and dropped in a new one.

All logs signed as “Dave’s Mob”, aka doineedthis, aka The Brown Family aka “the coloured mint tin by the sea people”

TFTC Hurtle

doineedthis, kayche23, Superman_22, northstar76 and myself went on a walk to collect this series after the Milang meet up event nearby. We did the whole 12.5km walk.

We also performed maintenance on the CO's behalf when it was required.

After consideration at the event, we decided to write "Dave's Mob" in all cache log books.

It was a good day with nice weather and meeting some new cachers which is always good, as well as catching up with familiar faces.

Stories were told and laughs were had, as well as 51 caches found for the day. Thanks Dave for getting us all together.

Quick find here today, all is well with this cache.

Thanks Hurtle for this cache and series, which brings Goldy's total find count to 2715 on the 25th of March 2023.


I have hosted quite a few CITO's in my time, making huge differences thanks to the people who came along!

Whether you're out finding caches or just taking a stroll somewhere, remember to always be CITO-ing to help maintain our parks and reserves!

The Nurragi Walk series hasn’t been shown too much love, so I’ve headed South from Adelaide this afternoon in the hope of collecting a few smiley faces to add to the 3 or 4 past ones I’ve found.
This cache was a quick find, and is in good condition both container and log

Found out caching the Nurragi Trail with Wollaston on the off-road e-bikes. An easy trail to ride taking 3 hours, just needed to hoick the bikes over some hurdles along the way. We were joined by a million flies, spotted a shedded snake skin, had the company of one other rider, some kangaroos and even helped a sheep get its head out of a ring lock fence, did a bit of maintenance where we could and ended the afternoon with happy hour at the local cafe/gift shop.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. I’ll leave the more interesting & detailed log to Mrs Geo (aka: SeasonedBird, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird or Angry Bird) because she writes so much more eloquently than I and usually has much more time to do so while I’m driving. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC Hurtle

Enjoying this walk today to see how far we get. First cache was quick to find,as was this one.Thanks for these caches

Set out today with the bike to tackle the Nurragi Walk series. Waited out a couple of short showers early in the day so it was going to be close to dark when I finished.
But that didn't happen, instead a puncture with only 6 to go Not up to fixing them on the trail yet so it was an almost 4K walk back to the car.
All caches attempted were, thanks to good co-ords, quickly found, usually without taking GPSr off bike. I'll be back for those other six sometime.
Thanks to Hurtle for putting out this cache for me to find

Getting in a few more of these whilst visiting Milang. Familiar container! Thanks Hurtle.

Full time nomads exploring SA, currently staying in Strathalbyn. Mr Felix decided to ride his bike along the Nurragi track today, whilst he did that Mrs F tackled a few drivebys nearby.

Found with Shonky Logic on a great day out in an attempt to close in on 100 for the year, poor effort I know. But 2020's been that sort or year. We had a great ride along this trail and found all but one cache.

Cheers and Happy Hunting
Southern Cross Caching

Caching with Southern Cross Caching along the Nurragi Trail and beyond. We parked a vehicle at each end and took the mountain bikes along the trail. Although the trail is flat and more of a walking track than a bike track it wasn't too difficult apart from having to lift the bike over the fence at each end of each section.
This cache was found at 2:12:00 PM and was 47 of 66 finds today.
Apologies for the generic log but it is a powertrail. Thanks Hurtle

I think we're getting the hang of finding these, at last! Nice easy find. TFTC

Beautiful day to be out caching. Didn't do the trail soon after publishing as I was out of action for 2 to 3 years. First time on a bike in awhile. The coordinates were excellent which made it relatively easy amongst the soarsops. Thanks for the series Hurtle.

Nice easy find tftc

Quick find while doin’ the trail. TFTC! Caching with CrackedChelle

Thanks Hurtle for Nurragi Walk. I had a blast today riding its length. I appreciate the effort in placing and maintaining these caches.

Finally having a day off from work, I joined @Davidwazza and gridge98 on this trail, which was also my first time on a mountain bike! The weather was great to us until the end of the day although there were some grimacing clouds in the sky, it actually turned out to be a perfect day with a lovely temperature and only a few raindrops towards the end of the day. I definitely don't enjoy power trails, but enjoyed the boys doing most of the finds, hopping on and off the bikes, and very much enjoyed the day (although being a power trail).

We started at Marker #1 at the old Sandergrove School, and then rode 10 km towards Milang. At the Finniss-Milang Road, we decided to make a shortcut to the town to have lunch at the bakery before it closed. We then made a small loop of the town collecting those caches, seeing the old train station, and then following the old railway tracks as it returned us back to the Nurragi railway trail. We ended up riding back a little in the Moonlight, a fun day!

Reviewing the weather, @jesswrigley, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY), and I decided to take our mountain bikes (with [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) bringing his all-purpose all-terrain geocaching bike) to ride this Nurragi Conservation Reserve linear trail. We studied the photos of the trail to ascertain if it would be too muddy to ride with the rain about the place, but it seemed to be ok to ride. I had spoken to the CO previously who mentioned it was an enjoyable power trail to ride, as some websites suggested it was walking only, but in the end, we were really glad that we rode. It seemed to be quite a slow trail if we were just walking, and we even passed a couple of other riders on bikes also halfway. Although there were some grimacing clouds in the sky, it actually turned out to be a perfect day with the right temperature and only a few raindrops towards the end of the day.

I'm not really sure if I enjoy power trails, but on bikes, they are awesome. It gets you outside out and about, and allows the trail to be more interesting. Most of the geocaches were found reasonably quickly with thanks to good coordinates, and we didn't have any DNFs for the day. Most in good condition, although there were a few that were starting to show their age with cracking due to the UV, like the old fruit containers. However, they were probably still ok for another 1-2 years before requiring to replace. I did come with some backup containers and logbooks anyway, but didn't need to use them other than a few plastic bag replacements.

We started at Marker #1 at the old Sandergrove School, and then rode progressively through approximately 10 km once we neared Milang at the Finniss-Milang Road, we decided to make a shortcut to the town to have lunch at the bakery before it closed. We then made a small loop of the town collecting those caches, seeing the old train station, and then following the old railway tracks as it returned us back to the Nurragi railway trail. [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) and I then accelerated our cache collection as time marched on, and had to ride back along the trail back to the car. It took a little more time than what we had planned, and the last few kilometres were done in the dwindling light and dark, which added another adventurous element to the day. Luckily some moonlight allowed us to see a few metres ahead of us, and no trees or branches were harmed (nor us) during that time. Thanks Hurtle for the series, and all in great condition. Cheers!

A last minute plan last night, and very weather dependent, a plan to head down and complete the Nurragi Walk series with @Davidwazza  and Jesswrigley. Turned out to be a lovely day and a perfect set up to ride the bikes along the trail. Majority of the caches are in good condition and all the co ords were perfect and within 2m.
Thanks Hurtle for the series, an enjoyable one.

Easy to find! Thanks

After a surprise Tuesday Trekking this week for some members of the Puzzled Puzzlers as some could only make Tuesday, the usual Wednesday walkabout really was to be a walkabout. [P] We were going to tackle the entire Nurragi Walk from Sandergrove to Milang in one hit. I was joined today by Anymules, Sushilord and Blackadders. Cars either end meant it was only a one way walk!

Oh yeah, that is definitely a nice cool sea breeze coming through the trees. We found the cache and some sheep tired to stare me down. I won.

**Thanks Hurtle for this cache. **

* Generic Log *

Another day of the usual Puzzled Puzzlers group outing. This time with a Mule, Starfish and A fish Lord.

The Plan, leave one car at the end of the series then start at the beginning.

Now recovering from the sore leg and calf muscles that are not used to walking that far. No nasties seen along the way and surprisingly no major injuries.

All caches were found in good order except where mentioned in logs from other members of the team.

Thanks for the series Hurtle.

Couldn’t miss the SPOR.

Thanks for the cache Hurtle.

Warning: generic log!

Today's Wednesday wanderings went south to the Nurragi Conservation Reserve where we wandered along the entire trail. Only one cache gave us trouble.

I was surprised by the variety of vegetation along the length of the reserve.

Thanks for the cache Hurtle.

Blustery & sunny. This one was out in the open. Replaced back where it should be with a bit more coverage. Off to lunch in Finniss. TFTC

Still working through this series, managed to grab 7 today. A lovely afternoon for a walk, lots of birds watching my progress and no snakes spotted although I did hear one ominous rustle.
Thanks to Hurtle from mogni

Nice find while in the area with tmann421.
Really enjoying travelling around and discovering more about these areas.
Thanks for all the effort put into these placements

#8 find for the day

Good one..

Easy find on a great winters day. TFTH

Decide to divide this walk into sections and then take two days to complete it. By doing short sections at a time we didn’t have to carry too many supplies with us and we could stop at any time. For this first section we parked at the access point on Landseer Road after finding the Lead Coffins cache at the cemetery and walk to the start/finish collecting every second cache on the way out and the remaining caches on the way back.
We found all five caches on this section and it took 35 minutes
Thanks Hurtling Posties

I have come back to do a bit more of this series which I have enjoyed heaps. I was just on a walk to #8.1 from #10 and then back and now I'm trying to find the caches on this series from here to Milang and back. Quick find. TFTC Hurtle

Nice walk..good find
