Nice one!

Found it!

Jack and dad strike again

first find on day 2 of the trip. quick find.
Out with the Mogni for a short trip out to the riverland, only 3 days. It was hot first 2 days where 40 degrees and the last day was 33 degrees. Since the rules just changed about covid 19 testing before and after entering vic to no testing, we changed our plans on the way up and decided to go via Murray Sunset National Park. The idea was to find as many caches as we could that haven't been found recently most hadn't been found in 3 months. On day 1 we replaced 10 out of the first 12 caches, all broken container and 1 log book replaced, and by the end of the day had a heaped medium bin liner bag full of broken containers, the hot mallee sun doesn't do the plastic containers any good. Day 2 saw us caching around Loch Luna and lake Bonney which is way easier driving around here in the dry then in the rain like my last visit here. Onlt 1/2 a medium bin liners back of replaced containers today, people must fix the closer to the highway caches more often. On day 3 it was back in to the mallee country and home via Pinnaroo. Getting those " out of the way caches ". Plenty of dirt roads where driven down and many, many back sandy tracks taken. It was good to explore all the country areas and stay off the highway.

Sir_spectre and I had a quick getaway to the Riverland. We were targetting the less found caches. We found an assortment of caches, and as regular for us manged to replace containers for several and put some fresh logbooks in others. It was a rather hot weather for a weekend of caching but the air conditioned car gave us some relief.
Thanks to Trigger_Fish from mogni

Great day for a stroll and the first geochache in a while. Tftc!

Caching has fallen by the wayside with everything that has been going on, work, lockdowns, blah, blah...so we needed to get away for a bit of R&R after lockdown so headed to Loch Luna for the weekend to refresh and cache!. An epic day today with 30 fnds and 3 DNF's. Tree stump undamaged...Cache located... TFTC

After a bit of searching we found it!!

on our way home from Darwin nice spot

Thank you for giving purpose to my daily walk.

Took a houseboat from Waikerie up to Cobby for a week, relaxing and kayaking on the river.
Went for a stroll under the bridge and found this one quickly. Huge old stump too. Thanks for the cache!

Well that was a track and a half. Walked 1.4 ks to find I was on the wrong side of the river drove around to other side then walked 100 and found.

Quick find. Not much left of a once huge tree. TFTC Moneydork

We took the stroll and found the cache. TFTC

Nice stroll under a bridge. Pity about the fridge.

Thanks Moneydork and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Pretty tricky but we found it

DNF

Mr Beetle waited with the van while I walked to this one from the suggested parking spot. Walked for too long on the top side of the track before noticing that the bottom wheel rut was a lot flatter. Duh!!!!!
Went past the blue eyed monster that dwells under the bridge and was soon at GZ where the cache was quickly spotted.
There was a shorter way back to the van but NUH!!!! Better to take the safe, flatter way.
Thanks.

Found It!
The mud here wasn't quite as deep as the stuff yesterday so the Hilux had no trouble getting to GZ. And a quick find once there!

First driving gone past it the backwards we go to find the cache oh signed log put back TFTC

Found cache but couldn’t open it without container breaking. Getting a bit brittle from the weather. Tftc!

container is getting brittle & has a few holes

Barmera Carp Fishing comp gave us a reason to cache around the lake today. Beautiful area. TFTC

Adelaide Trip September 2017. Day 10. Driving Home. I left Adelaide and headed towards Robinvale via Renmark and Mildura. I took a bit of a detour for this run of caches out onto the river flat. I only missed one of them.

Thanks.

Easy find in the company of the geokids + dogs.
The cache is wet inside and the log book is damp, requires maintenance.

Staying in Barmera for the long weekend with LLL51, ROMA123 and Gemini7 and we decided to go for a drive and do a bit of caching.
Made this one a drive by, found the cache easily, the log is wet but we managed to sign/stamp our names. [^]
Thanks for the cache Moneydork.

Nice easy find the log book was wet and needs replacing. Thanks for the cache

Country Music Festival in Barmera this Long Weekend, so decided on a spot of caching with Gemini7, JJ52 & LLL51.
Completed this one on the way back to camp.
Thanks for the cache Moneydork

Out caching the Riverland with hevwalker & CPWanderer.
It took us longer to find this one,
we were all hanging for a cool, large drink from the local hotel.
Thanks for the cache Moneydork

The back waters appear to have made there way into this cache
Located cache after a short search by Liz,Earthlight
Cache and contents wet

Tftc

Enjoyed the stroll to this cache.
Could drive to withing approx 15mtrs after attempting from another spot originally.
Log wet and smelly.
Dried as best we could and stamped the log.
Owner may need to check cache.
TFTC found with 3LG and Gwen from The X-Trailers.

Spending a couple of days in the riverland grabbing a few caches with Gwen from The X-Trailers and Liz, earthlight, hooked up the boat for some water caches and bought along my recently purchased Rapala Waders, a lot of laughs along the way and although not as many caches as we would have liked we managed to get quite a few of the harder to get ones on and in the water. TFTC

Quick and easy find.
Found this one while checking out the flooding Mighty Murray!
This one was a fun drive-by!
TFTC!

On our way to Sydney via Mildura, decided to add a few easy ones to our list

I walkde in while himself checked out the track - no go, rather slip sliding. Lovely walk to an amazing old stump
TFTC and all is good

Great road driving in loved it but got there in the end

Tftc finally found it!!

Good job

Tree falling apart... termites have nibbled the tree down! Cache in good condition. TFTC

Found 27/3/16 at 11.58

A cooling afternoon was a perfect time to stroll along with Mattycat around the backwaters, other than the noise of traffic over the road this would have been a very tranquill locationTFTC Moneydork

Had a great day caching around Lake Bonney and surrounds with
Mr and Mrs Froghoppin. Nice stroll.
TFTC Moneydork

Found myself in SA for other reasons this month, and McPhan agreed to join me for the trip back. The main purpose was the Yorke P geoart, but we finished these faster than planned, so had a relatively leisurely day around the Riverland heading east. We'd been though here several times over the years, and had largely cleaned the place out. Some great caches today, the product of an active caching community.

Sorry for the relatively generic logs, but after 900 caches in 6 days, I'm largely relying on the GPS record.

Thanks Moneydork for the cache.

10084 and 73rd of 90 found today.

Apologies for the generic logs. I usually try to write at least something different for each find but with 900 finds in 6 days there are a lot of memeory gaps.

I appreciate the efforts put in by all hiders and the maintenace as well. The efforts of South Australian cache hiders is why this is our 5th SA Odyssey - you keep putting them out and we'll keep coming over. (Power trails help to okay [:o)])

Riverland is a great area and having friends in the area helps too - and many thanks to Steve and Michelle for putting us up.

Thanks for the cache Moneydork and the finds.

Made the short stroll around from the recommended parking spot (needed the exercise anyway) and made an almost instant find .
Enjoyed the view out over the backwater (even got some nice pics) [^]. TNLNSL.
Thanks again Moneydork.

TFTC found with GeoCartersX4

Found while on a pushbike ride from Cobdogla caravan park. TFTC

I missed the parking spot first time as I was wondering why GZ was on the other side of the highway to where I was
Back at the parking spot, I spied the track to GZ.

Looks like a bit of a roundabout way to get to a spot less than 40 metres away, but I had no choice !!

Eeeewwwie !! This backwater is not so savoury
Graffiti, and a dumped fridge greeted me in the concrete canyon [:o]
And of course there was the constant noise !!
But there was a cache to be found, and I was in no danger of being run over by the highway traffic

Cache found, I wandered back to GZ.
The walk back would make sure me legs were back to the same length.
I'm sure the left one got longer on the walk here [:o)]

Nice easy find TFTC

Demi & Popey - on tap

Popey and demi. On tap!

To start the school holidays thought take the CatKids to find some local caches. Beautiful weather for our family day out. TFTC much appreciated

interesting walk thanks

Found while out for a bike ride.

Took a shortcut from Shueard Rd, luckily was on the mountain bike, as the car wouldn't have made it this way.

TFTC!

Dropped off a couple of signature pathtags.

It was a nice wander along here, easy find. Thanks Moneydork again, you've kept me busy on this holiday.

Found with freddo and four fun. Thanks Moneydork. A nice stroll after Freddo decided the Pahero was too high for the mistletoe...

On the way to Gluepot Reserve for the weekend and stopped at a few convenient caches on the way. This was one of them and a nice quick find [^]
Cheers & TFTC Moneydork

Walked the last 200m. The cache was found in the last place we looked.

A nice wander to area I've fished with my Dad years ago SL TFTC

Well this took a bit of getting to, despite driving within 30m up there!
Didn't touch the stump either.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found this one by using logical thinking. GZ was easy to spot from the highway, but finding GZ was trickier than we thought, but we plodded on and signed the log. Tftc, tnln, sl

Quick walk passed some men having morning tea and a quick find
TFTC

After a busy weekend was nice to get a few caches before it's back to work. Was a lovely place to go for a stroll bar the ants. Quick find after rereading the log. TFTC Moneydork

I took a punt on where to turn off in order to access this cache hide. As I overshot, I was convinced I had chosen the wrong side and was mentally working out the options once I had exited and got back up to the main road. After cracking a uey and slowly heading back I spotted the entrance to the stroll and my spirits lifted! Yes! However, with the Adelaide crew coming up for the weekend's events I thought the FTF might be still gone. I strolled along the track and, once at my destination, despite being very gentle did cause a cascade, so I knew to leave that area alone. A lap of GZ soon revealed the hidey hole and I was rewarded with a shiny, blank logbook! My third FTF today and #141 overall. Cache #2093. Thanks once again Moneydork!

A beautifully placed cache which provided us with a great outlook. Thanks Moneydork.
