Traveled to the Copper Triangle and the Mid-North for a weekend of caching. Drove up via Roseworthy through to Balaklava on the Saturday, on a very convoluted route to search for caches along the way, before heading across for the dinner event at Moonta. Camped out nearby for the night and attended the early morning CITO in Paskeville, then toured the back-roads around Bute to complete The Big Question series with e.gregory1. Spent the rest of the Sunday around Snowtown and Lochiel before heading for home. Thanks for the cache LB!

Found, eventually, by The Boofs while out on a drive TFTC

A nice few hours caching west/southwest of Riverton searching for any caches not previously found by us.We were surprised how recent a couple of the graves were here in this tidy little cemetery.Many thanks for the hide LB

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Nuriootpa to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Drizzly day but the farmers definitely need it. Sticking to the black and the white roads only. Thanks 3LG

Travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip. We are doing a bit of sightseeing around the Barossa using geocaching as our guide. Such a beautiful (black) track to GZ. Thanks for bringing us here 3LG.

Over to attend the Great Leap Forward Mega Event with tmann421.Have done a few km collecting caches and have enjoyed the tour aroundThanks to all the cache owners for their efforts in placing and maintaining these for us to findSigned log tm/ww NZ

Nice find with woolwood9 today. Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit. SL tm/ww NZSoon located. Tricky hide here until I thought about the terrain rating.

Another DNF for us today..We had no idea really and the photo clue from a previous finder didnt help us at all. Just means well have to pass back through this way another day. Cemetery was interesting..thanks for bringing us out this way.

Found it! Got out the car and crunch, the ground was covered in millipedes. After going into the cemetery I realized I had gone too far. Turned around, a little bit of climbing involved and this one was found, everything was a bit damp after a lot of rain in the last couple of days but managed to sign without any issues. TFTC!

Detoured on way to Adelaide and pick up some caches around this area. TFTCHad to get the small stepladder as I wasn't tall enough to reach it from it's hiding spot.

Spent the day doing a family history tour with Mum around Hamley Bridge, as my grandfather was born there, plus finding caches along the way.
Saw the terrain rating and had a look, and there it was!

Took a little while - clues from past finds helped - moist so only logged online

No luck for me today looked everywhere I thought but guess I didn't look everywhere as didn't find it.

Next time I'm in the area will take another look.

Log full, new one added. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. TFTC LíB
Find #7191 at 12:39.

Out on caching adventures on the APM Series with Wollaston.

Thanks to the many hands and minds taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your special part of the world

Thanks for the Cache!! Loved this one so much!!

Love this beautiful day out and a very smart but clever find.
Most ppl head up
RIP to those are burried

A little thinking outside the box sun has the cache in hand. Nice hide. TFTC

Having a sleep in this morning[|)] and when I awoke at about 9am there was a new cache about 40km odd North of me
Rang one of the usual suspects and said 'if you're already there, I'm not getting out of bed'[^]
Almost 2 hours later and no reply[?] so I figured that I was safe to leave now[^], hence Rex and I started our drive on a glorious day more reminiscent of spring than winter[:X][^]

We stopped at Hamley Bridge for fuel and it's been a while since I've used a pump like that one
By the time we got home for tea we had 5 caches found for the day[^]
Rex had run about 5 or 6km on different dirt roads[^] so he was definitely tired[|)][^] and I'd laughed when I saw Otter61's name in a cache at Mallalla with today's date on it[?] Not sure who is stalking who lately

I was sitting at the cemetery gates reading, after having had a phone call, and Rex was lying in some shade after having checked out the whole area and sniffed out any rabbits and foxes[^][|)]
Another vehicle drove in and of course Rex had to check them out too and luckily they approved of this[^]
I had guessed where the cache was and that I'd need a TOTT
As the couple were going to be looking for old family history for some time, I decided that I'd better let them know what I was planning to do, too[^]
So cache found and replaced[^] and we waved and left the cemetery to the historians[^]

TFTC nice clever hide found cache logged and another smiley to the screen

TFTC
Out & about with geo hubby Animal62 collecting as many smiley faces as possible on this glorious Sunday.
I’m also happy to add another smiley face after locating the cache, a very sneaky hide, & signing & dating the log before returning the cache back to its hiding spot.

The terrain told me what I had to do.
Thank you for the hide, 3LG. Sneaky hide, too.

Moving towards Balaklava but opted to stay overnight in Hamley Bridge.Dropped off the house then headed out to find a few nearby caches.

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel. Today we arrived in Hamley Bridge.

Using geocaching as our tour guide, we set out today on a round trip from Hamley Bridge to Owen and return via Barabba.

We started the APM series on our drive from Balaklava to Mallala, and returned today to cache a few more.
That took us way too long, found in the last place we looked of course (sometimes it is in the first place) Favourite point awarded. There was one comment that helped know where to look.

Thanks 3LG

Last cache in town, our second cemetry for the day, always a interesting walk, Mrs frog loves to find the angel statues but unfortunately there wern't any here but we did make a quick find on the cache
TFTC LíB

This arvo I headed out after work to try and find enough caches to get to 8000.
Mission accomplished.
What a fab afternoon it was, love country caching and today was perfect for it. Not too hot. Enjoyed the scenery and finding lots of regular sized caches. Even better didn’t encounter any snakes or other scary wildlife.
Unfortunately had to stay back at work for an hour so didn’t manage to get to all the caches on my list but that didn’t spoil the afternoon.
Now hoping my Pies can win this last quarter then this will have been a real good day.
Do enjoy a cemetery cache and this was a really good one. TFTC 3LG clever hide

Thank you 3LG for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out caching with Moroldies when we finally found this one. TFTC

Quick find while out with go grandma.TFTC

It had to be there and it was.
Enjoyed checking the history in this one.

A little tricky. Tftc.

After completing the unicorn and some of the prime minister series I detoured home, This took ages to find till the light bulb turned on.TFTC

We'll I was in the area for a WRC council meeting and had a bit of time and it gave me the opportunity to check on some of the roads in the area after the last rain. Nice cemetery and well kept. Logbook is half full ,tftc

Not through any fault of mine of course!
Looked high, low, up, down but clearly not in... Back again another day

Another Tuesday caching day with Mrs. SA Sewer Rat and Blackadders. Today we thought we might head north to clear up a few more DNF's and grab any other caches we might be passing.
The Snake did the sithering up to make the find in the last place it could be.

**Thanks 3LG for this cache. **

A trip up north with a Rat and a Starfish collecting a few new caches and many others that we had yet to get.

Another out of the way forgotten cemetery, the Adder made the find in the only place it could be at GZ. Cache dry, safe and sound. TFTC

Found this one while attending an nearby event at Hamley Bridge.

Detouring the scenic way home from work...
who am I kidding, it's all scenic out here!
After a short think at GZ, a cache was retrieved and signed.
Glad 3LG can spell betta than the people of Barabba

Nicely hidden

Fencing works complete but cache nowhere to be seen. Maybe gone walkabout...

This one had us moving the full length of the cemetery - gps going crazy. As there is fencing works in progress, the cache may have been disturbed

A lovely spot

Found It!
Interesting little spot. After a bit of wandering around I found the well hidden cache!

Found by Mary & David at 1105. Oh what a morning - cemetery #3 and another FP! We have already been to Boot Hill and St Benedict's Church graveyard. Not quite the 5 stars of the latter, but as you might guess, Mary was appalled and aghast by the incorrect spelling on the entrance gates. The cemetery is small, fairly modern, but still much of interest to see here. Simple, plain, relatively unadorned headstones. Probably more to do with texts than with ornate carving. We hadn't seen the broken rose as used for the young 19 year old before, or the upside down bouquets. Now we're off to Macaw Creek Cemetery. Our thanks to 3LG.

Out and about with the Crazy Geo Driver and Rat Dog.
Love these old cemetery caches.
The history these places hold.
a quick find and sign TFTC

Out and about these parts grabbin a few caches today.
Thanks 3LG for the cache

Decided to have a nice day out with DarknStormy, clever hide TFTC TNLN.

Out and about with my Uncle "Scrappy Trucker" , He's been down for a week exploring our beautiful state so I decided to take him for a drive in the back roads to do a few caches here and there

Had a nice hint about this one from a photo in the logs so the cache was soon in our hands

Thanks for the cache 3LG

OMG I thought I was going to be stuck out here for ever....LOL....I was following a BIG 4WD, but the one problem with this plan was that my vehicle was not really built for the conditions we were driving through today!

Eeeek.....my self talk included...."just do what the car in front is doing, speed up, drive on the side of the track, oh what did the car in front do then??.....oh no, that is sand - I hope I don't sink....oh nooooo, that is water......... oh no, that mud makes my car slip and slide...oohhhh noooo......ohhh yay....we made it to the cache...hooray!!"

So I am thrilled I actually made it, and then out again in order to log this find! AND just quietly, it may have actually been a little bit of fun to drive out there!

Thoroughly enjoyed my weekend on the Yorke Peninsula.

This was my last find on the return trip home with geobuddies after attending the "Footloose on the Foot" dinner event in Warooka the previous night.

A fun drive to this spot. The fire had missed GZ and all around. There is still a lot of devastation. Luckily the residents were all safe and tucked up, as was the cache. [^][8)]

Thanks to 3LG and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Last stop for me at the end of a fun weekend's caching on the YP
Cheers & TFTC 3LG

Thank you Moses on the move for confirming this one is good to be back online, cache is now ready to be found again.

I was here to see if any damage had been done to the graves. The cache is still safely in its place and should be put back on line.

Passed by with a BlazeAid crew fixibg fences after yhe fires three weeks ago, and had a quick look, but no cache spotted. There were peiple waiting inthe car, and it was 40C, so it may still be there. The fire had burnt right to the gate of the cemetery, so a previous finder might want to check.

Going by the CFS map this area was completely burnt by the bushfire.

Lil more difficult find but we did find using the name mary. Good hide

Out with Moses on the Move for a cache run. First caching trip for a couple of years. 1st of 16 finds for the afternoon. Thanks.

After having two car free days I decided I needed to enjoy the sun shine with a short 150 km caching run. Took the youngest of the Forest farmers with me for the afternoon. This was a good start. Thanks

As we did not have a ladder with us, the next best thing was to use Aussie Mary's step, that Nancy uses to get into the Koleos. This helped but we still needed to use our legally blind CPwanderer to step up to the plate and the step to get this cache.

Found while out caching with Aussie Mary and Doctor Owl. TFTC.

Having eliminated the other possibilities, Owl and Mrs M made the legally blind CP stand on a stool to reach the cache. The things that are done to find a cache!

Another cemetery stop while out this way, heading north.
Been down this road years ago for the nearby trad.
Found the unsual hide for a 3LG after a cpl of mins.

Thanks

Was out in the area placing the latest addition to the Prime Ministers series and grabbed a few caches as well. TFTC.

out driving around with Geodad

Taking squash99 for a driving lesson so better way to get some hour's up then a bit of caching TFTC

Blink and you'd miss it .
What is it about cemetery curators that make them so proud of preserving memorials to the dead [?].
Well done none the less [^]. TNLNSL.
Thanks 3LG.

Just love to visit an old cemetery and this was no exception.
Still well kept ,and loved walking through and reading the headstones.
You learn so much about the history of the area.
Beta tested this cache.

With a child free day we thought we would go for a pleasant drive in to some beautiful country and knock off some more caches that we had in the area. This was the 11 of the 13 that we did today.

Thank you 3LG

After working outside all morning and doing a few things inside, that I really didn't want to do, I glanced at the computer as was rewarded with a new cache not to far from home. A good excuse to stop those dreary jobs and have a little fun
