We checked on this cache due to a maintenance call on this cache . But got to find the cache there was actually nothing wrong the log book was in good condition. Plenty of pages left as per photo.We are questioning why was it desperately needing a log book when it was still good condition so the person Astrobef. Please ensure you have the right cache before logging a maintenance please to everyone or if people have a spare log can you please put a book in thanks

Picked up Detofinbars and headed to Burra for lunch and beers with a mate that I played cricket against over 30 years ago.He's currently on holidays visiting his parents and relatives. Picked him up and he joined us and learned about geocaching, as well as a magnificent, guided tour and history of the Burra area after a great lunch. With little or no internet, we still manage to get a few caches around the town. We also got a few on the way there and home. Overall a fantastic day was had. TFTCDidn't have to dig much,also a great view of the town.

My wife and I had been out hiking in the morning and were finishing our afternoon in Burra. It hadn’t rained all morning but it was out this afternoon but just in a pestering way.

We had our raincoats on and we’re also on holiday so things negate each other out. When you are at home some rain means stay at home and organise your toe nail collection. When you are are on holiday it means giving the rental car a wash from the inside.

This was our last find of the day before heading back to Clare and the Riesling we had bought for a good night. tftc

Found on an early morning stroll up to the lookout. Enjoyed the info boards. Doesn’t appear Llwchwr is still a recognized place name in Australia. Time for a coffee. Don’t often wander without a pen but have messaged owner with confirmation pic. Cache in reasonable condition. Cheers. DJ

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.

We are finally able to travel interstate without heaps of loops to jump through. We thought we would take it easy and have a look around South Australia and grab a few more LGA's while we were here.
Came over to do the adventure lab and grabbed this while we were here


This was find number 6 for the day.
