Murtho Village Murtho, South Australia, Australia
By crane2 on 09-Oct-15. Waypoint GC64TN4

Found while spending a few days near Renmark, hoping to knock off a few of the Wandering Hero and On Your Bike Series while we are here. TFTC, Its great to have so many caches to be able to find

Spending a few days in Renmark to start some of the trails around this area, picking up some other caches as well. Quick find. TFTC

Found by The Empire + HAs we continued along the southern road, the landscape opened up to breathtaking views of the Murray River far below. The road wound along the cliffs, and from our vantage point, the river shimmered in the sunlight, snaking its way through the valley like a ribbon of silver. The sheer limestone cliffs stood tall and weathered, their pale, rugged faces dropping steeply down to the waters edge.Every so often, the trees would part, offering uninterrupted views of the river, framed by the ochre-toned cliffs that added a striking contrast to the lush green vegetation along the banks. The cliffs, carved by millennia of river flow, revealed layers of history in their sediment, reminding us of how the Murray has shaped this land over time. Thanks for the cache crane2.-M

A few days in the Riverland. Nice weather. Tftc.

Had previously lived in Renmark for years and never knew this little monument was there.

Staying in Renmark for a short holiday, using caching as a guide as to where we travel. 41 caches were found along and around the state border. This cache is one that was found today.

Some interesting history at this small village, cache is all good here today.

Interesting story and I really liked the almond farm nearby. Tftc

Sharing a little secret here...Murtho village and I share a birthday...not the year lol, but today. So happy birthday Murtho. A quick find here. The area had so much potential that was realised with agriculture instead of suburbia. TFTC

A quick stop on the way back as Eagle was feeling generous and let Owl find a cache in the middle of nowhere. (So to speak!) Interesting history for Owl though.

Good spot

Found ok tftc

Quick stop here cache is all good

Today we made our way around the river land checking out some of the tourist sights with the main goal to get to MacCabe Corner and a stop at the brewery plus find a few caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache

Day 2 of a few days in Renmark checking out the sights and collecting as many hides as I can with a totally uninterested other half.

Most caches were easily found, others not so and a few had gone AWOL. A few needed some maintenance by the owners. Those have had NM logs placed on them.

Thank you for the cache crane2, found 6/04/2022, 9:19:16 AM

OMG!!! The bin chickens were so big!!! I took a heap of photos of them while the others signed the logbook. tftc

Just touring around before dinner we headed out here for this one. Nice straight forward find before the long trek back home to Ballarat tftc

We had seen the sign for Paringa’s town centre a few times so we figured we’d go for a drive to have a look. Hmmm I think we missed something so we kept going and found this cache instead. Tftc

A nice stop on our journey across the country from Adelaide to Brisbane with Davidwazza! TFTC!

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled around the Murray Riverlands, visiting Loxton, Paringa, and Renmark. We started the day from Berri, travelling south and finding a few miscellaneous geocaches. Once at Loxton, we completed the *Historical Loxton* Adventure Lab, found a few geocaches along the river, and then had lunch in town. We then drove towards Paringa, and took a walk around Murtho and Headings Cliffs. We then proceeded back through Renmark, and finished off our evening with a walk at Wilabalangaloo and completing the Berri *A River Contemplation* Adventure Lab.

A rather interesting historical plaque. I read this geocache description first, rather than plaque, and noted that the town was dissolved in 1900, not 1990! Hence, the Murtho village only lasted six years from 1894-1900. It feels similar to the recently dissolved town of Mintabie between Coober Pedy and the NT/SA border. In terms of the geocache, it was a reasonably quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks crane2 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Couldn't find it

A fairly quick park and grab on the way back from Heading's Cliffs. Tftc #112

Out for a short but busy holiday with sir_spectre. Today it was going to be hot but not as hot as yesterday so today we did a few walks and braved getting out of the car to make finds.
Thanks to crane2 from mogni

Based in Mildura with fellow geocaching -buddies Suscoe, today we headed westward and crossed that infamous border and enjoyed a day of caching around Renmark and Berri. What a fascinating snippet of history.

Thanks 'crane2' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.
