thanks! even in Australia for work. and walk this trail. greetings the dutchman.

took a little searching but soon had the cache in hand. thanks for this fun find!

Found it not too difficult getting the hang of this now

Great hide! TFTC

Found after attending the Gawler Greetings event earlier in the morning, deciding to tackle a few local caches while in the area. Thanks for the cache LB!

Easy one tftc.

Did a day trip Sandy Creek to make a start on the Barossa Trail between Gawler and Lyndoch, also getting others along the way. All caches were in good condition unless mention otherwise. Park the vehicle at Sandy Creek and took the scooter for a ride. Thanks to LiB for their very creative caches some took a bit of finding. TFTC

I rode out to Lyndoch, where I enjoyed a lovely coffee and churros with dark chocolate sauce. I found a few caches along the way too. Perfect. [^]

DNF at this one! Oh well will return one day, maybe on the bike next time. TFTC!

I came out after the morning event to clear up a few previous dnfs.Mostly I was successful.TFTC

Out and about with sandelf. Very clever. TFTC

Picked up old broken cache, replace with something fresh

The forecast was good so I thought I'd get a start on the Barossa Trail by walking.

I walked from 9 to 6 where I had a dnf. Sadly another dnf here as well.

Southern Autumn adventure Day 41. Mid North section of SA trip Day 12. Barossa Valley Day 4. I left Nuriootpa today for Gawler. It was not far, so I got up early and did a bit of local caching before checkout time. Once I had the van hooked on, I went into town for a few caches and a chat to SnappyTomCats at their very impressive shop. After morning tea, I headed off to Gawler and setup even though I was a bit early. The afternoon was spent on the Barossa trail caches,and wow, I thought some of the NTA trail caches were impressive. Some of these were just plain difficult, to the extent I missed a good handful of them. Oh well, it was a fun day and I enjoyed the challenge.

This was one of a few that just plain beat me. I hope the cache is there somewhere.

Thanks.

No luck

Water proof bag with log full of water

Another dnf. This is disheartening!

Stopped here on my way home from Riverton to do a few Barossa Trail caches. Thanks LiB.

Day seventeen of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
With Sunday's crappy weather all finished, we set of on the deadly treadlies to complete some more of the Barossa Trail. We drove to Lyndoch, and then rode to the start of the trail then back to the Bakery at Lyndoch for lunch.
After lunch we did a few more back towards Rowland Flat, and then a few odd ones.
A nice collection of caches, and a great ride.

A good sized cache, but top damaged.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19357. Day 17 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. After a miserable day weather-wise yesterday it was back to the bicycles today with the hope of making a big dent in the Barossa Trail caches. We parked at Lyndoch and rode towards Gawler - starting at #40 and gathering all that were available until we finished at #1. 2 1/2 hours to do that and another 1/2 hour to ride back for our lunch stop. After lunch we did a few more before returning to base at Tanunda. A great day's ride and so many interesting cache hides.

A well camouiflaged container. Unfortunately the lid has broken off so the log sheet is damp and falling apart. Favourite point.

Thanks LíB

Another beautiful winters day in the Barossa out caching with iluvtrekking. This is the type of hides we prefer - rural roads and lanes. Thanks LiB

Great set of cache containers and hides.

TFTC SL

Thanks

TYFC Out and about

Got this one after looking at lots of other likely spots. Nice hide thanks and fav point

Happy New Year! Needed a find for a souvenir so managed to get out after dinner (and the heat) and tick a few more off the trail. TFTC

Wonderful hide. TFTC

Found it TFTC put the log in plastic bag to save it.

For some reason this one was a quick find. Yes, unusual. Clear skies

A nice quick find here which gave me some relief after struggling to find a few on the trail. TFTC

Largest one that I've found today. Lids cracked and leaking a little. Thanks LÌB

We did find this one but haven’t had a chance to log. Found with northstar76 and Giselle_13

Found this one after not finding the first two but we are going to see if we can on the way back. Found with superman_22, Giselle _13 loved the camouflage

A bit exposed, rehidden better, TFTC and series.

The kids scooted ahead of us and guessed where it might be. We heard trimphunt cries of "found it" from 160 metres away.

Today was the Big Birthday Bash in the Barossa. After a big caching day out I wasn’t sure how I would fare today, but still managed around 20.
Really enjoyed my walk along the rail trail and then headed to the Birthday party which was lots of fun.
I then did some of the lab caches in the area but ran out of time so I guess I will be heading back .
Thanks as always to all the CO for the hides.
Nice quick find at this one. TFTC LiB

That was an obvious one thanks

Tftc

We decided to visit the Barossa Trail on foot so we could take the dog for a walk.

A great day out.

TFTC, LíB

Finally found it.

Thank you LíB for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
Found 9 August 2020 3:06 pm Find # 963

Finally… Sunday. I am excited, a full day of caching, wherever I want to go. I woke at 4.30am eager as, tempted but needed more kip. I then slept through to 7, simply refuse to set an alarm on the weekend, so much for the early start. Packed the car and headed north, woohoo. Low lying fog all over the low lands.

I started on Twartz rd then did the meat trail by push bike. Slipped through Gawler and hit the start of the Barossa Trail. I need a good bunch on the western end, and a smattering of missed ones in the middle. I still had a few misses, but chuffed at turning my previous frowns into smileys. The day finished on the bike at Jacobs Creek complex, when the sun decided to fade. It was time to head home for some pasta, wine and to log the days finds.

I tried a new technique today of recording personal notes rather than logging in the field (LITF) so save some daylight time during caching.

Thanks for the cache Lib, this one took me a little longer.

Great... Thank you.

Thanks, LíB for your considerable efforts on these bike tracks. Hopefully, we will be able to return one day to complete them. This is our last day of caching in SA before racing back to the West before the borders close.

This cache was found on our Geocaching road trip from Perth to Millicent for the now-cancelled, GeoVenture2020 Event.

TFTCspotted this one easily

Got this one! ...tftc!

Bigger than expected TFTC

Found on my ride today, thanks

Such a nice day for finally doing this trail. Five down many to go. Cheers cobber.

Mr Tardis was out on a nice spring day for a bike ride along the first part of the Jack Bobridge series. I really enjoyed the ride and the effort put into this cache series, with a variety of different finds.

I found this one before I got off the bike - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache LíB.

Fixed camo

A DNF while powering through JBT.

I actually found the camo rock, with glue, but nothing attached.

Last day of the promo and I needed 33 finds to grab the final souvenier. What else to do but hit up a power trail. I managed to walk the round trip of 18 kilometers in around four and a half hours, A little further than I'd planned, but a few DNF's here and there stretched the journey a bit further than I'd hoped.

So I DNF'ed this one literally minutes ago, and around 40 metres further down the trail spot the cache. It is now back with it's camo, but the two are no longer attached. Quickest DNF revenge ever.

This was find number 2 of 33 for the day for me. TFTC LíB!

A great trail, only got a handful of caches today as the hides were harder than I anticipated, will definitely have to come back to complete. TFTC

Found while out for a walk with the kids, TFTC

Awesome

Replaced container, no longer cracked

Easy find, TFTC Jones Family. Container needs a little maintenance but nothing drastic

Needs maintenance, it's a bit wet from a crack in container

Out for a day's caching with the Owl. The aim was to visit some of the JBT caches and a few other caches in the area.

Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Another one that nearly had a PaF. Owl was spotting all the wrong things, but the Fish was on point.

Today we headed north from where we are staying to look for caches along the Jack Bobridge Trail. We looked for over 45 of them and found nearly all. We want to go back and look again for the two that we missed now that we have had the opportunity to read other logs. The caches today that we visited were outstanding. There is such a variety of high quality hides. So much care and effort has gone into the design, construction and placement of the caches. It was a very enjoyable caching experience.

This cache was a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 3LG for this cache and a very high quality series.

The weather was perfect for caching today and so was the series of caches we had decided to look for!

3LG has done an amazing job on a series of very clever hides - we were constantly impressed by the variety, cleverness and trouble taken over each one.

F-Llama and Miss_Bovine are looking forward to returning another time to find more along the Jack Bobridge Trail.

A quick find at GZ after a bit of a scramble.

Another good find. Noticed the cache immediately, and quickly recovered it. TFTC

Quick find. Took a TB. TFTC

Found while out with Go Grandys,This is a great series with a lot of the caches making you work hard to find them.TFTC

Found by torchlight. Left a TB. TFTC.

With poppadon. Tftc

Found at 3:25 PM with Rostann. Easy find. All good.
TFTC

We decided to get a bit of exercise by walking a section of the trail and thought while we're at it we might as well find some caches. It seems a long time between finds these days! TFTC 3LG

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.

Now camped in Tanunda. Today the GeoCruiser was booked into Toyota. So what does any Geoaddict do when they have no 4x4, come rain, wind and freezing temperatures? .... they jump on the GeoBike of course.

Mr Felix started at #79 at 8.30am and finished at #1 at 4.10pm, he was unable to complete the series due to trail works where the track is closed to all traffic for 1km. Picking up a few other caches along the way he managed to complete 75/79 attempted caches today.

What an awesome trail and amount of work to place and maintain. Definitely a fan of the series, so creative and tricky, such a range of quality hides. Helped out with some log replacements where necessary.

Out this way today to collect the last 2 pieces of the multi in the city, collected some other caches whilst out this way then made my way to the start of the Jack Bobridge trail to do some of them. TFTC

doing a few tonight to get last hidden creature Thanks 3LG for the cache

Eye spied, Eye found, Eye logged, Eye trinket swapped. Cache replaced in hiding spot. TFTC !

Needed a break from report writing and feeling sad that we were unable to go to the JLW event so drove down to Jack Bobridge trail and did fom the start to Sandy Creek on foot with the geo hound, who I might add LOVED it. A beautiful afternoon. I wish I had done this part of the trail first as the finds are so much easier than further along. Great trail!

Strollin' the trail this morning
Stop number 7 !!
Oooh another well hidden cache

TFTC

Time for some exercise and a few caches while I’m at it.
‍ TFTC
Love the camouflage!

Found this one exactly as we suspected

This morning Mr froghoppin and I walked the Jack Bobridge Trail from #1 to #49. With brisal5 & AnyMules joining us between #38 - #49. We walked from Gawler East to Altona (about 16kms) Todays step count 24,000. I enjoyed this trail immensely and appreciated the effort gone into the hides. I look forward to coming back to complete the rest of the trail.

TFTC & the series 3LG.

Today we taclked the seres by foot with Hevwalker doing #1 to #40 and then joined by Anymules and Brisal for #41 to #49, loved the variety of hides and while some were found straight away others took a more methodical search, ants had us tap footing at some locations and unlike a previous visit no snakes were seen today. Great effort a fav point for each one in the series, looking forward to finishing the sereis in the near future

Nice bike ride We were at the Jacob’s Creek TFTC Merci pour la cache Greetings from Montréal Québec

My daughter and I felt like a walk and some caching, so we headed to the Jack Bobridge trail. This is one of the ones we found.

Had some time, whilst out this way, to do some walking to some of these.
Nice work on all the different hide types, didn't see too many duplicated hides/cammo. A couple were too good and DNFs resulted...
TNLNSL
Thanks for the hides and exercise...

Heading out to Nurri with Sir_Spectre and getnict caching the day away. Enjoyed the craftiness and effort put into this trail. Some hides were found quickly and others had us scrathing our heads



Tftc 3LG for a great trail
Found on 2 December 2017
Find # 2708

found with getnict and rod81w. clever hide.

Headed out to Nuriootpa with sir_spectre and Rod81w to cache the day again. We had seen the weather reports so all came prepared with extra clothes. It is rare for us all the have a weekday off together and we weren't going to let weather reports predicting 50-100mm of rain dampen our caching spirits.

That 90s movie I think it was called Black Rock

Back to sign one I walked past yesterday.
A neat little cache hiding just out of easy view.
Come to expect clever hides along here.
TFTC Mr and Mrs 3LG

We did it

Headed out early this afternoon to walk part of the Jack Bobridge Trail and earn some more coins for the crew... as well as smileys of course!! We started off doing every second cache, so that could have some to find on the way back to the car. This has been an enjoyable geocaching trail so far, with a range of different hides to keep us guessing. TFTC 3LG... we look forward to headed back out soon to work our way through completing the series.

This was one of a few found while out hunting on the Jack Bobridge trail. Enjoyed the variety of hide styles, always wondering what was going to be next. Most were quick finds, but a few kept me going for a while.
Thanks for the cache and the series 3LG

Relatively quick find once we found the black sheep. Great camo again. Tftc

Done

found it with troyyugal

June long weekend and a perfect day for a trail. TFTC

With the weather and Mrs Emilyangels health we always have an excuse not to get out, but after hearing so much about this trail we thought we would come up and get the driveby caches..... at the first stop we loved the trail, loved the flat ground, the views, the quietness.
So we hit the pavement in a chilly walk with the kids.
Caching is so much easier when the kids act normal , tonight was not one of them nights and our night ended with a broken GPS and 2 grazed boys after they learnt why people dont run while piggy backing each other.
Awesome night out thankyou, we look forward to doing the rest, very sneaky hides.

Found out with Beary Organised on first day of Winter. TFTC TNLNSL

Found it with CherryRose on our fun day out caching. TFTC TNLNSL
