Out with cheezel1961 caching around the Barossa today. Came by this one for a nice findTFTC SL
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!
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
Found it! Reasonably quick find after picking up lots of wrong ones! #244 TFTC
After the early morning event I headed out to clear up some more of this series.
It was a brisk walk at first but eventually it warmed up to just be cold.
This one was a quick find.

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.
I jumped on my scooter and worked my way along this track for 20 finds. It was hard work, some are just devious.

Stopped here on my way home from Riverton to do a few Barossa Trail caches. Thanks LiB.
#19354. 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.
Amazing how one small weed can almost completely conceal a cache. Plaesed that Rob discovered it where we had both searched before.
Thanks LíB

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.
One weed and we both missed it in the first pass!
Thanks, Robmc.

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
Enjoying exploring the area. Found after a short search. Thanks Lib 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
No not that obvious shrubbery, a bit further!

Today I decided to go for a walk and do some of the Jack bobridge trail on foot, off I set from #10 through to #36, total of 11km return. Some of the caches were tough to find others a lot easier, it appeared once I got the hang of the hides they became easier to located.
All the caches found are in good condition.
Thanks for the cache.

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 here TFTC LiB

Day 440 ( Wednesday 11th) of our trip. Caching along the way, in Greenock today. Going to finish off the Barossa trail run we started last time we were here. TFTC
We decided to visit the Barossa Trail on foot so we could take the dog for a walk.
A great day out.

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. Very quick find, I like these.

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.

Such a nice day for finally doing this trail. Eight 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 in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache LíB.

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.
This was find number 4 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
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.

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.
Despite blending well into the immediate environment, 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.

Found at 10:55 AM with XBRmob. Easy find if you have rocks in your head! All good. 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
Quick find by torchlight. Keeping the streak alive - 65 consecutive days with finds. 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.

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!
This is a great addition to the trails around SA
No wonder The Lonely Plan-it Guide loves SA [:X]
Me own exploration of this familiar area was on foot today [:o]
And I can see through the camo now

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.

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

found with getnict and rod81w. The end is in sight ( at least for today ) less than 10 to go before we get back to getnicts car and only 23 left to complete the series.
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.

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.
