Good hide

Beautiful old building,definitely worth the drive. Thanks for the cache

A LWE away caching w Team WaldronToured the mid north and surroundsSome great caches foundFixed a few as wellTFTC

No need for stealth today, very quiet area, TFTC

The best thing about going on the occasional work field trip is that you can do some caching when you finish early. This was to be the second of many for the afternoon around Orroroo. Felt really dodgy out here as the owners of the nearly property turned up and I was in a Government vehicle. Luckily I just looked like I was inspecting some infrastructure. Cache was found right away and logged. TNLN. Cheers.

Thanks tricky got a few prickles for our trouble

Well hidden cache. Needs a new log and the opening mechanism for the cache is a bit rusty. Thank you!

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders Ranges. Now travelling through to Peterborough picking up finds along the route. Thanks for the hide.

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. Today, we are caching along the road from Hawker to Peterborough.

Full time Nomads since March 2014.

Having been in Perth to visit family our stay has come to an end and we are on our way to Broken Hill for the Mundi Mundi Bash.

Staying in Orroroo for a few days. After lunch we ducked out in light drizzle to try and add to our smilies in Orroroo.

A delightful, warm, sunny winters day caching towards Orroroo and surrounds.

Loved the description with this one

Many thanks for the hide Freddo

Looks like it got wet

Nice quick find

Red spanner off

I managed to get away for a couple of days to try abd build up the numbers for the year. I stayed at Orroroo overnight and made my way around the mid north.

All caches found were in good order unless otherwise noted.

TFTC

On our travels we stopped to grab a couple of caches a nice quick find and a nice drive, thanks for placing this cache

Found

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Comfortable find, manage to logbook which was a bit wet. TFTC

Whilst the book is on the to-do list, the cache is now crossed off it. Quick find but logbook wet as lid of container doesn't shut properly. Will have to start snacking so that we have spare containers to replace damaged ones as we go. Sorry we couldn't do that today.

Tftc. A bit wet.

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021!
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]

DAY 5: Exploring some mid north towns.
Only Freddo knew that this road led to the Tralfamadore Zoo. I guess the cat is out of the bag now and no doubt the cache is the portal Finding the cache didn't transport us to Tralfamadore though.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks Kilgore Frog for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A quick PaG. #NLAMT.

Thanks for the cache Freddo.

Find #14840.

I can guess how this road got its name. This cache was found quickly and easily.

Well here we are TFTC

Easy find. TFTC.

Trip to the Mid North with the geo-pup. Day 5, walking around Orroroo.

Cool

Holiday time, a week in the Flinders Rangers with sir_spectre and Jacknor. We had lots of fun, walk and of course found some caches. Today we packed up the camper and started to head for home early, strangely it took 13 hours to get home... Today we did lots of cache maintenance replacing cache containers and adding logbooks.
Thanks to Freddo from mogni

Easy find.

??

Found while staying in Peterborough with my muggle friend, Bron, who caches with me and caught up with caching friends too...
Joined forces with SnappyTomCats today as we ventured from Peterborough to Orroroo...
A quick find here today but had to evict a red-back spider before grabbing the cache...he went back under so beware next finders...
TFTC Freddo

We had planned to visit Peterborough for the weekend to attend an event and do some caching. and as we had to deliver a heap of Crystal Decanters that we had engraved for the Clare wine show, to them, we figured we are halfway there..might as well carry on, so we organised a day off and are having a "long Weekend' up North! Today we teamed up with hevwalker and Bron. A quick find here todayTFTC

This was found as we wander this great country
While having a great day out
thank you Freddo for placing the cache

Not my style of read I guess....
Replaced the crushed lidless tin and placed a new logbook for the CO. Put the old log in New tin also.
Paying it forward...
Thanks
TNLNSL

Found....Needs maintenance, no lid, paper wet.

A slight detour out to this one. A quick find was had and the lid of the mint tin has gone

Today I started off in Peterborough and caches my way around the back roads in the northern area before finishing of the day with a bit of caching with Davidwazza near Wilmington and his event before making the drive home. A total of 89 caches for the day.

Thanks for the cache

It is under a rock somewhere it was easy

Tijdens bezoek aan Flander Range NP en dan richting Adelaide deze cache gezocht en gevonden.
TFTC and greetings from Belgium.

Easy one this morning. Tftc

After a lovely night at the camp site (great facilities for tent campers) but a crap game of footy (if you are a Pies fan) it was up and ready for a day of caching in the Orroroo surrounds.
We travelled all over the countryside and had a fantastic day. We did an epic multi, visited lots of abandoned structures with heaps of history, saw lots of Orroroo masters games venues and called in at the pub in Pekina for a beer. Great day of country fun, punctuated with some super finds. Love a good day of SA country caching.
It started off very cold this morning with low lying clouds meaning we were in fog for the first couple of hours. Once this burnt off it was a superb winters day, sunny and warm. We saw lots of sheep, roos, wallabies, goats and an echidna which was cool. Rex had a brilliant day and was absolutely shattered by the time we got back to the campsite.
Couldn't pass over a frog hide on the quest to get to 350 Freddo finds by the end of the year. Quick find and sign. TFTC Kilgore Frog

I was here when the CO placed this one. Didn't claim it then but I'm back here to officially sign the log. Cheers Kilgore Frog.

Found with e.gregory1 as we traveled through Dublin, Balaklava, Jamestown, Orroroo and Wilmington towards our destination at the Quorn June Long Weekend Event. Thanks for the cache Freddo!

Found as I travelled up to Quorn with FeatherWaite for the June Long Weekend event.

Thanks Freddo for the cache.

very quick this one

Clever Little Hiding Spot !

A beautiful Saturday in Orroroo. TFTC.

Another easy one!

found it TFT. No wedges today lol

Accurate coordinates and an obvious hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Kilgore Frog for the hide.

Our last find for the day before opting for a meal at the local pub and making the trip back home, spotting emu's, kangaroo's and some deer's. The highlight was watching a struggle between a fox and two wedge tail eagles before being disturbed and they went there seperate ways
TFTC Freddo

A nice quick find on an interestingly named road. TFTC

Blood and guts. Where?

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

Nice little patch of scrub with an interesting view of a hill in the background. Lots of birds. Thanks for the cache.

In town for a wedding, and a lovely one it was too. Found this before heading our to the reception. No slaughter here. TFTC

On our way north, Orroroo seemed a nice place to spend the night as it was getting dark and the Roos were getting active!
Expected aliens, found a cache.
Signing together as Team Mattycat.
Found along with Jack and Sebastbat.
Thanks for the cache Freddo

So glad this one wasn't outside an abattoirs. Don't think I could have stopped for a look if there had been animals there waiting for the end!!!
This one took longer than it should have and we were definitely cache blind for too long here.
Thanks.

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 43. The travel is speeding up as I head home. Today I went from Hawker to Mildura via Burra.

I hope the neighbors over the road don't mind the visitors. I did put the car in the right spot and soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks.

on the return home from a trip in the flinders rangers. quick find.

Hi there Freddo.

We found your cache **"Slaughterhouse-Five"** at 2:42:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 17290).

We cached around Orroroo today, & thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the area. We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes hidden along the way. Today we found 20 caches (& DNF'd 1). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Nice and quick grab. Signed the log.

Touring the town becore continuing on our journey home after the red centre event. Great to find a town with heaps of caches. Tftc

Found whilst walking around the town. Thanks for the cache!

Left Pa and the van parked up while I took off in the car to grab some caches. We are heading to Alice Springs for the Event over Easter using the back roads from Canberra.
The namebof this cache had me intrigued so wanted to find it. Took longer than it should have but eventually found it and after signing duties were completed the cache was returned to its hidey hole. TFTC SL as SG as.

12968 caches found

Grabbed it on the way to Alice Springs


took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache Freddo

TFTC quick find, collecting a few around this little town.

An easy find while on day trip to Cradock TFTC

Found it. TFTC

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did in 2016. I cache with an assortment of cachers and never alone. So far in 2017 I have cached with Moneydork, Ride the GeoWalrus, Locus Cacher, Liz & Bruce and Team Zouk. I focused on logging 2016 SAGA eligible caches and did not log the others I have found and signed this year. In an interest to get completely caught up, I am logging my past finds in bulk. I still have work to do after this, as I need to locate my notes from all of my earthcaches, but once those are in, I should be very close to current. I appreciate all the effort you go through to create and place your hides and do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my once pleasant logs. Cheers!

A nice quick find

With a couple of days off and beautiful weather, decided it was a perfect time to revisit the Southern Flinders Ranges [^]
This was one of the fun stops along the way
Cheers & TFTC Freddo

Will return cut hand on wire be careful

Weekend in Whyalla with Freddo and Laighside Legends[?] Don't mind if I do
Headed out Friday morning and got home Sunday night.
All up 2 events attended , 4 DNFs and 95 caches found over the 3 days
Good company and even a row boat ride too [^]
Some fun in Munyaroo Park with some fantastic geocachers and a chance to meet some geocachers who I haven't met before
We even managed 2 FTFs on our trip up

LOL Just realised whose cache this is!
Now I know why he was talking about its placement

Visiting Orroroo for the day with The X-Trailers and Missymu. It is not very often when the 3 of us sisters get together. Although it was fir only a couple if hours it was well worth the drive. The area is lovely and green after all the winter rain. Sour sobs are in abundance around the cache. Found and signed the log. TFTC. A very apt name for this cache

Today was the first day I have been out caching since 2013.
It was great to be out caching with my sisters[earthlight and The x-trailers].
Enjoyed finding this cache.

A quick find. Cache is wet. TFTC

Found on our 3-day road trip to Curdimurka - 1500kms in 60 hours and 30 finds
TFTC

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.” (Kurt Vonnegut)

Thank God we live in Australia [^].

Thanks Mr Frog.

Greeted by a pair curious cows. Bit of a hunt around but found it in the end! TFTC.

On my AUS trip 2015/2016 logged. Thanks for the cache. Cheers Peter

First for the day finishing off our Orroroo search Great area with lots to see Thanks

A nice easy find on a cold and overcast day. Another frog cache done and dusted! We were camped nearby and out getting some more Orroroo caches. Thanks for this one Freddi.

I was heading home from a trip in the Flinders Ranges with my Dad and we visited here on the way home.

Didn't really understand what this cache was about and why it was located in Orroroo of all places[?]

But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it, it was just a bit of a mystery to me
