Lovely place to leave a littler traveller tftc

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. We made the find here. Thanks for the cache.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. Thanks crispy89

Full time Nomads since March 2014.

Having been in Perth to visit family our stay has come to an end and we are on our way to Broken Hill for the Mundi Mundi Bash.

Moving today from Jamestown to Orroroo. We pulled into the driveway at the caravan park and the wind was unleashed on us. My goodness crazy crazy windy. We unhitched the van and headed out to cache in advance of the forecast rain but wow that wind was crazy it was difficult to even open the car doors. We had to be so careful that the logsheets didnt blow away before we could put them back.

I managed to get away for a couple of days to try abd build up the numbers for the year. I stayed at Orroroo overnight and made my way around the mid north.

All caches found were in good order unless otherwise noted.

Another good looking crop in the paddock. Its hard to imagine the hive of activity that once was. Thanks for the quick driveby.

Another quick drive by. TFTC

hello

This weekend, jesswrigley and I headed to Melrose for mountain biking the trails with a few non-geocaching friends. We ended up hiking up to Mount Remarkable on Sunday, and on Monday, we returned to home via Booleroo Centre, Jamestown, and Clare. The weekend had some rain drizzle and crisp mornings, but otherwise good weather for fitness.

Today, we had a morning Melrose mountain biking session, before starting to drive back to Adelaide. We had some time to fill, so ended up taking the long route via Booleroo Centre, Hornsdale, and Jamestown, to then arrive at Clare for an afternoon tea/coffee event. It was then an expedited drive via Gawler.

I thought this was going to just be a random cache on the side of the road, but instead, we found a point of interest complete with its own information board. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks chrispy89 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Thanks, found.

As the rain came down i darted over to make a quick find then darted back to the dry GeoMobile to SL at 10:54 on Wed 7/10/20. Back again to replace the cache all in record time ha ha

Took Mogni for a trip to the Flinders Rangers for the long weekend with extra day either side. The target for the trip was to clear some of the " used to be a church " micro series on the way up and on the back as well, complete a couple of station tracks plus hike to Blinman Pools. We where not expecting a couple of 34 degree days then a 30 km wind dust storm followed by rain over night and then the wilpenda pound walls covered in fog for the next 1/2 a day. It did change our plans a little and the order we did things. All containers we found damaged, broken, cracked were replaced and were possible ( if not soaked ) original log books were kept. Any log books found full were replaced or if room had extra scrolls added in to the cache.

A long weekend away with sir_spectre in the Flinders Ranges. We had each been here before and strangely had few double ups so some revisiting was in order to try to get our maps similar. The weather threw everything at us but we just made our plans suit the conditions. Lots of 4WD and walks included.
Thanks to chrispy89 from mogni

Wouldn't have noticed the sign if there wasn't a box on the map to find.
Not much to see here anymore, although can still see the mounds in the distance.
Gotta love local history...
TNLNSL
Thanks

Drive past every week, decided to stop. Anyone know what the cross is for? TFTC

Nice quick find with Earthlight
Tftc

Found with The X-Trailers as we travelled towards the Flinders.
TFTC

A short stop in here, cache could be seen from the cache. Cache is all good

Today I started off in Peterborough and caches my way around the back roads in the northern area before finishing of the day with a bit of caching with Davidwazza near Wilmington and his event before making the drive home. A total of 89 caches for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Geocaching and Stay in the Southern Flinders district for a few day before venturing further north. Found this one on a cold cloudy day while driving and geocaching in the Booleroo area. TFTC

Events that happened in days gone bye.

Chilly day warmed by a few good finds Tftc.

A quick easy find. TFTC

In consultation with the CO, we replaced the broken container. What an interesting spot this was. Mr Gordon Patrick Samuel, who lived in Booleroo for a while, didn't know this was here. Thanks for sharing this area with us Chrispy! Had a great day caching. to the area.

We found it guys it’s still there

It’s near the sigh but not on it

We found it peeps,good luck

After a lovely night at the camp site (great facilities for tent campers) but a crap game of footy (if you are a Pies fan) it was up and ready for a day of caching in the Orroroo surrounds.
We travelled all over the countryside and had a fantastic day. We did an epic multi, visited lots of abandoned structures with heaps of history, saw lots of Orroroo masters games venues and called in at the pub in Pekina for a beer. Great day of country fun, punctuated with some super finds. Love a good day of SA country caching.
It started off very cold this morning with low lying clouds meaning we were in fog for the first couple of hours. Once this burnt off it was a superb winters day, sunny and warm. We saw lots of sheep, roos, wallabies, goats and an echidna which was cool. Rex had a brilliant day and was absolutely shattered by the time we got back to the campsite.
Another interesting piece of local history, seems the gun range has been a popular place for locals for a long time. TFTC chrispy89

Found out in open. Rehid under cover

On the way home from the June Long Weekend QQQ event with Sebastbat and Jack the Monkey.
We loved Quorn so much we stayed an extra night then wandered home Tuesday!

BANG ! We got your cache. An easy target with nothing here to camo it!

tftc chrispy89

I guess it was Centre Fire rather than Rim Fire.

Easter 2020 sees SA hosting the next Easter big event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Check it out. We would love to see you there.

The Arwakurra Explorers were here!

We left Port Pirie this morning and started out on a cross country route, travellling with ilook4geo. We found a selection of different cache types for the day, including multi, virtual, letter box and traditional.
Cache was found out in the open, which was where it was put back. as there was no camo available locally to use for its protection. Thanks go to chrispy89 for placing this cache.
Just wondering ...... What did Mrs Orrock supply for afternoon tea?

This was a fun caching day as we were travelling through outback SA with goingplaces2. We found different sorts of caches during the day and either signed the logs or sent answers to the CO before logging it as a find. TFTC.

Nice easy driveby as we travelled towards Ororroo for a days caching fun, quick find for us as with the dry conditions the cache was quite exposed
TFTC chrispy89

The boys still like a shot. Not a lot changed since 1906.

Thanks chrispy89 and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Cheers Peter

8122 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1255. Having a guided tour around the district today with a couple of muggle locals. They didn't know about this location. Good condition SL Tnx chrispy89

Expecting a riffle range well this was a surprise, Thanks chrispy89 for the cache. SL

There was no need to dodge any bullets here today. TFTC

Found it

Very quick & easy find

A nice quick find

Found It!
Given how few places there are to hide a cache here, this one took me far to long to find... Interesting history anyway!
TFTC

Found @ 1555.

Good find....

Intetest about history. Thanks for shared with me. Signed the log .

A 300km round trip for 15 finds and no DNF’s, a beautiful day for caching. Pt Pirie-Wirrabara-Booleroo Centre-Willowie-Wilmington then thru Horrocks Pass and
home again down National H/way

Not another chrispy89 hide! TFTC.

If it wasn't for the sign, this bit of history would only be known to a few of the locals [B)].
Quickly found . TNLNSL.
Thanks for another one Chrispy.

ttrogg wanted to go for a drive and so muggle partner and I joined him for a fun day out
It was a good day to be going for a lengthy drive as almost all the way to our destination it rained: lightly and heavily and everything in between
On the way a few caches were found then after ttrogg got his FTF on a Booleroo cache, it was head for home caching until the navigator said time to stop caching and just drive 14 finds

This was the cache that had ttrogg driving all the way out here and thankfully he achieved his goal of a FTF
Poor ttrogg wasn't quite prepared for the Woohoo! *FTF* shriek
Interesting history and basing a day out and afternoon tea around guns is something that is a lot less common these days

TNLN. SL. TFTC chrispy89

{FTF} with locus cache at 1438 [^][^]
Had been keeping my eye on this one for a while and with still no logs it was finally time to venture north for a look.
Picked up locus and the muggle partner on the way past and headed off. As this was the main aim for the day didn't stop too many times on the way up so wasn't long before we were pulling up at GZ and very soon after a happy shout was heard.
Thanks for the FTF enabling me to extend the streak for another month chrispy89
