Nowhere Man Rochester, South Australia, Australia
By Tk2 on 23-Nov-16. Waypoint GC6XCT0

The old town of Nowhere had always been a mystery to travelers passing through. Nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, it was a place few ever ventured intentionally. But for one geocacher, the town held a special allure. They were known only as Nowhere Man.Nowhere Man had heard whispers of a legendary geocache hidden deep within the town, a cache that had eluded even the most experienced adventurers. It was said to contain treasures from an era long past, and the coordinates were hidden in plain sight within the towns forgotten corners.One crisp autumn morning, Nowhere Man arrived in Nowhere. With a worn map in hand and a GPS device clipped to their belt, they began their search. The first clue led them to the old train station, abandoned and overgrown with ivy. There, hidden under a loose brick in the station's wall, was a small, rusted key.The next clue directed them to the town's only bookstore, a quaint shop filled with dust-covered volumes. In a book of local folklore, Nowhere Man found a slip of paper with a riddle: "Where shadows grow long and whispers are heard, beneath the tallest oak, lies the third."Following the riddle, they ventured to the town square, where an ancient oak tree stood tall and proud. Digging carefully at its base, Nowhere Man uncovered a weathered box. Inside was a small figurine of a man, along with a new set of coordinates and a note: "You are closer than you think."The final coordinates led them to the outskirts of town, to an old, crumbling church. The doors creaked as Nowhere Man pushed them open, revealing a dark and dusty interior. In the back, beneath a broken pew, was a metal tin. Inside was the legendary geocache: a collection of artifacts from Nowheres past, including old coins, a locket, and a journal detailing the towns history.But the true treasure for Nowhere Man was a letter addressed to them personally: "To the one who found this, you have unraveled the mystery of Nowhere and discovered its hidden heart. May your journey be as timeless as the treasures youve found."With a smile, Nowhere Man signed the logbook and carefully placed everything back in its place, leaving behind a token of their own: a compass, to guide future adventurers on their journey to uncover the secrets of Nowhere.Come visit SA's longest running annual event -keep the Long weekend free- June 2025 Can't wait!!2562

Well played. Tftc!! It was a great hunt for this one. The road surely was a long one!

Found original cache with no lid or logbook. New fence there now which cache possibly damaged when working on fence. Have put a mint tin and logbook in a ziplock bag. Tftc

Out for a few day caching around Clare Valley & beyond with Team Waldron - our acronym is TWX2
Lotsa fun had, lotsa trees & ladders climbed & lotsa kms walked
Beaut weekend all round

Away for a couple of days with TheWhiteDogGang.

We stayed at the free camping in Blyth and cached around Blyth, Brinkworth, Yacka, Spalding, Clare, Stanley Flat and surrounds.

Most caches found were in good order.

We took the sidetrack and then didn't find a cache. How could it go missing out here. We replaced it.

HELLO

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

This is our first cache for the day as we, Geo Hubby Animal62 & I travel these back roads collecting as many smiley faces as possible for our maps.
The morning is cold but going by the beautiful sunny sky it’s promising to be a beautiful day.

TFTC nice find quick drive by out and about with geo wife LynSteNet

Out for a quick wander up North today with Jack and Sebastbat.

Thanks Tk2 for putting this cache here

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man can you see me at all? Luckily we saw the nowhere man!!!

No wet. Not slippery. But well guarded by a large redback cache guardian

Be safe caching. Cover your cough. Wash your hands!!! (Watch for redbacks!)

Gridge98 asked if I wanted to go caching[?] and that word 'caching' deserved a yes[^]
There was an event at Clare at 4pm which was the goal for the day[^] anything else was just a bonus
38 cache smilies: 36 caches found , 1 cool event attended and 1 cache beta tested[^]

Clever hide Nowhere is a good place to be sometimes[^] and today was one of those times[^]

Where are we going is what I thought on the way out to this one, the cache was easily found in the logical spot and is all good

This at locus cache and I headed now towards Clare and beyond to find a few caches and with our main focus later in the day at Clare for a coffee event, such a great day weather wise, came away with 52 finds.

Thanks for the cache

Staying at the Beautiful Hummocks station at Snowtown (highly recommend it) we ducked out to find a few caches nearby again today. Loved all the history shared today with us by using Geocaching as our guide.

There is a new fence at GZ and there was only part of a cache. We have put a temporary replacement with a rock over it.

We discussed what we were doing here. Caching of course. This one was a little damp and had been collecting water. I could not empty it out as the container was stuck fast! Hope it dries out. However we all know there is more money in mud than dust.

Thanks to Tk2 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

A road you are having when you are really not having a road. Interesting. TFTC

??

Wow, this really is nowhere man!
The road is in my GPSr, however just as a track.
Can see the vastness from here, with no trees blocking views from road!

Thanks

Thanks

Good find

Commented that this would be a great road for moving stock or driving machinery - wide and flat - but only when it's dry
TFTC

Got it.

Found on a trip north with Anymules, eventually found as the natural surrounds had covered the hidden cache, two layers of cammo almost had us fooled, certainly felt like nowhere today
TFTC Tk2

Found something that looked like the right spot. But there was just dirt. After looking a bit wider, returned to the original spot where it had to be. After a bit of a better search, the container was found.

Thanks for the cache Tk2.
Found on 24 May 2018 at 1:09:21 pm.
Find #6483

We made this trip up north to pick up some of the caches we keep driving past as we head to/from the outback .
Well, it sure is flat out here !
Not many places this could be and we found the cache in the first place we looked. TNLNSL.
Watch out for the cache guardians .
Thanks for one more Tk2.

Found @ 1015.

Found It!
A interesting drive out here into the nowhere... Crops are looking good anyway!

Second to find. It is going to take some time to fill that log book at this rate. Loved the location. It would be even better with a couple of inches of rain. Vroomm.

FTF with Squash99. Thanks for the tour. TFTC
