Quick grab before dashing back to the car to escape the icy breeze that had picked up. TFTC
Accurate coordinates made this a quick find , all's good at gz . Thanks weredun4
Found while staying in Victor Harbor for a few days. Headed out in the afternoon to tour the town and back roads of Fleurieu Peninsula finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache weredunn4!
No luck for me here today. Still new to geocaching so probably right in front of me
Found with gridge98 whilst in the area doing some caching apologies for the late log. Thanks for the cache
A lovely view of the lake here, we kayaked here 2 years ago after renting a place for a few night, great to be back chilling by the water and a quick find This weekend Courtneyrose_ and I headed down to Victor Harbour for the Victor Harbour 10k fun run, whilst here we did parkrun plus find a few caches around the area yet to be found. Thanks for the cache

It took 2 visits to get this one. Both times a fisherman was casting his rod in hope.
On the second visit I decided to until he was distracted to get the cache.

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.
Out for a morning run and on my way back to the caravan park and I stopped to grab this one.
I was searching for a coule of minutes before I spotted it.
This was find number 6 for the day.

Found this cache in the second spot we looked in. Thought we found where it was but kept looking and actually found it's location. TFTC
We encountered a cache at Encounter Lakes, great information on the cache description, very interesting.
There are so many little parks along here, now we know how they got their names too,, further down there is even a beach on the edge of the lake, very cool.
We got the pup to come for the wander with us, its always a nice disguise when two people are snooping in a park when the nearby residents are in their yards. It was great weather at Encounter Lakes this morning, we were expecting to see the lake being utilised by swimmers or paddlers but it must have been shopping day.
Thanks weredunn4 for the cache and the local history of a good looking piece of Encounter Bay. TNLNSL

7years of full time travelling and we have only been to Victor Harbor once when we were staying in Kuitpo Forest in 2014. Time for a longer stay this year.
Ducked out to find a few caches after lunch in the freezing wind today.

Been doing a lot of wall building at home and my muscles were aching. 
Time for a day off to do some caching and chill. 
So I called up Anymules and we met down at Victor Harbor to continue where we left off when our last day was cut short by an impending 5 day covid lockdown! 
I think I will rename Victor Harbor after today to Micro Harbor. I had brought several TBs to leave in caches down here but it took all day to find suitable sized ones. Just saying. [:o)]
So may rocks...so many hiding places. [xx(] Whilst I looked in all the wrong places Anymules found the cache..
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 to single digits. 
That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

"Come caching with me to Victor," invites JJ52.. "Thanks, what a great way for a newie to learn from one who knows!, says 17 MG17.... a huuuuuge day.... Lots of caching (well in my books that constituted lots of chaching!!) - I do not know how the seasoned do this on consecutive days... I thought my addiction was something I had to watch.... not even playing in the arena yet.... A day filled with all finds and only one we couldn't log (a tree that wasn't inviting a climb).
thank you for the placement of your cache weredunn4

Today was a day out with 17MG17 and we were heading down to Victor as there was a new AL that I wanted to get along with some others that had been published since my last trip down there. [^] We had a fun day and ended up finding all the caches we looked for, but there was one we couldn't reach so will have to go back with a ladder or someone more agile than us. Saw lots of wildlife and even stopped to watch a sleepy lizard eating dandelions which I had never seen before. A long but very satisfying day.
I have been down to Victor a few times since this cache was placed but have never made it to actually find the cache...today was the day and I gladly stamped the log.

Last night I was told about an unfound cache that came out at Encounter Bay while I had been down there with erine14 getting a FTF[?]
This morning there was still nothing on the cache page[?]
and since I'd woken up early
, I contemplated taking a drive down there before the event![^] Except I'd have missed the event totallyOff to the event in town and then afterwards, Rex and I drove directly to Encounter Bay and the cache[^]
By day's end, I had 6cache finds and Rex had been able to run on the beach again today[:X], chasing seagulls[:X]
Plus I shared lunch with CP and Clare at The Boulevard cafe[^]
Came here with Rex after lunch and he had a huge roll on the grass
He chased seagulls[:X], sniffed smells and I found the geocache
