On the way to Renmark for a few days and picking up some caches along the way. Quick find here today. TFTC.

Found while heading out to Renmark and surrounds to do some caching along the Wandering Hero's Series and to see what other interesting sights we can find. TFTC

Day four of a short trip to SA with ConnieandRick.After doing some On Your Bike caches over the last couple of days, we headed to Renmark for some caches today.The first cache of the day, always good to start with a quick find.It would be interesting to see a museum here.Thanks, Robmc.

We're out in SA mainly to do some of the OYB series with Robmc but today was a trip to Renmark and surrounds. This was on our way there, thanks for the cache.

Found by The Empire + HThe clear blue sky stretched endlessly above, with only the occasional wisp of cloud. The drive along the Murray River was peaceful, the bright green vineyards and orchards lining the road, vibrant against the golden hues of the open fields.As we made our way along the gently curving roads, the spring air was filled with the fresh scent of blossoming trees and wildflowers. The Murray occasionally peeked through the gaps in the trees, its calm waters glistening in the sunlight. Thanks for the cache crane2.-M

We do love a windmill, now that we dont have to look after them! Tftc

Found on the way to Katarapko camp. Thanks crane2.

Berri Day 2Staying at Martin Bend for a few days, a lovely coolbreeze comming off the water.An AL in all the neighbouring towns & caches to find as we pass them by.This was a great way to visit the area.The wire was broken & we found it inside the fence, replaced with new container but old log Thanks crane2 for hiding this cache.

Staying in Renmark for a short holiday, caching around where we travel. Today we targeted some powertrails just out of Loxton and any others along the route. 155 caches found today. This cache is one that was found today.

Find #4428 on 19 Jul 2022.
TFTC crane2!

Great little easy adventure to find our first cache. No room to write in the log but was a great buzz for our 4-year-old to see how many others had found it before us.

Out with iluvtrekking grabbing a few hides around Renmark/Berri. Quick find here but only cap and log sheet remain. CO will need to check.

Another cache found with ricklink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
Staying at Loxton for a few days finding a few caches in the area.
Thanks for the cache crane2.

Quick and easy find thank you

Log book full! Cache is all good otherwise here though.

Today we made our way around the river land checking out some of the tourist sights with the main goal to get to MacCabe Corner and a stop at the brewery plus find a few caches along the way.

Thanks for the cache

We found this cache on route to the Victorian Swan Reach Cache Hunt. Thanks from D & HA B-A

A nice easy find while passing through. Thanks for the cache. There was a good hint for this one.

Beware, Bees have taken up residence in the Telstra in ground installatoin nearby.

This site reminds us of where the Marion Swim Centre is now - tell them they're dreaming [|)] - and then it happened .
A quick find . TNLNSL.
Thanks for one more Crane2.

TFTC crane2. We had completed the On Your Bike Series yesterday. Today being a hot one we decided on a trip to Berri. A lovely town on the Murray. We cached our way there and also found some in town. A great day to be near the river.
Cache count No 13305

Around the Riverland for the weekend due to swimming at Renmark. Grabbed this one while hubby working hard at the pool. Easy find. Signed log GT. TFTC.

Watch out for the prickles

We were staying with Honeysucker for a couple of nights with Liz & Bruce and we ventured off today to do a few of the nearby caches but nothing that required a long walk as at 40 degree temperatures it was just too hot.

We had to stop for fuel so the others decided to keep on going and we would meet up again at Honeysucker's but as usually happens you can't drive passed a nearby cache even if it is closing in on happy hour so we stopped to check this one out and the whole area was quite deserted and happily we found the cache very quickly and our name has been added to the log.

Thanks again Crane2 for the cache

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 15. The next phase of my journey is underway. I am in Loxton. I was with Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny to attempt to finish the On You Bike where-i-go caches. We have managed to solve them all before we arrived. Day 5 in the River land. As we had accomplished the On your Bike caches, the others headed back east to stop at Mildura for the paddle steamer caches, but I am based in Adelaide at the moment, so could not go. I spent the day finishing caches around Loxton and then heading a little further away from town before hiding under the shady tree at camp for the afternoon.

This trip to Loxton had been a year coming as I had missed out last year due to other commitments. The group had increased and the target list of caches was much higher. It had been a group effort to deal with all the jigsaw puzzles and then the Reverse Where-i-gos were sorted out with the various online tools. The trip was looking at risk as the COVID situation stretched and stretched, but at least SA kept to its plans to open the borders and we all jumped through the hoops required to get across the border. The weather was looking extreme as the journey approached and it did not disappoint. The daytime temps were from 36-42 over the days of this exercise and it made for some hard work and lots of water usage.

Thanks for the cache crane2

After a good sleep I had the tent packed up and was signing my first log book at 8.20am not bad for me for a Sunday morning.
Enjoyed 2 lovely events today, caught up with caching buddies and found a nice variety of hides. Collected about 60 today a mix of caches and adventure labs.
I was very weary when I got home the sunny day was an energy drainer. Was again grateful not to encounter any scary wildlife. Collected a lot of empty drink cans and hundreds to be picked up, what is wrong with people.
Thanks as always to all the lovely cache hiders for placing and maintaining their hides.
My phone was quite annoying at times today with the GPS frequently showing me many km away from my actual location.
Quick find on the way to Loxton TFTC

Travelling around the area surveying the damage of two storms in 10 days, Mr Frog inspecting total devastation of some crops which is heartbreaking - a year's work, for the farmer, gone!!
On a positive note, we found some smileys which is always great

There was no problem in finding this cache when we arrived at GZ with ilook4geo. All was in good order and after signing the log it was then replaced as it had been found. Thank you to Ag Tech for placing this cache.

On the road again today and heading east with goingplaces2. Cache container was easily found and log signed. TFTC.

Found while in the town for the day.TFTC

Cute

Wondered up and down looking at the old parts of machinery TFTC

Such a beautiful cache

A plan was hatched with Rapidlywild to attack some of the caching trails down in VIC/SA. With the boarders slowly staying open we thought Easter might be a safe time to try since the QLD boarder was still too fragile to attempt going to the MEGA and it also looked like it could be rather wet there.
Our team “The Mob” consisted of GoodLook, LíB, Rapidlywild, The Drovers, feathertop and ourselves. This team ended up being very productive and some new friendships were made. Always a bonus in my book. All logs were stamped with “The Mob” to save space and time.
After completing all the trails, we had set out to do and a couple more for good measure it was time for this mob to go its separate ways.

It was now time to head home after doing numerous trails while in the area a great caching adventure. We decided to pick up ones around Loxton before leaving.

Quick find here...

Thanks for the hide crane2 and for the fun Rapidlywild

For the first time in a long time, it was road trip time. With COVID-19 keeping everyone at home for so long, the borders were finally opening and the feet were itchy for a decent caching trip. Plans were made with FurfacesLL to do a 10 day road trip across to Mildura and Loxton to do a heap of caching and we were excited. Across the 10 days we racked up over 4,300km in driving, multiple hotels/motels, brought home enough red dust to create our own sand pit in the back yard and collected over 1800 finds between us. It was a massive trip and lots of fun was had.

We teamed up with GoodLook, FeatherTop, The Drovers and LiB and signed most logs as "The Mob". There were a few caches which were signed as individual team names as some teams had already completed said caches, those will be noted individually.

Our target caches were the Turtle Series, the Paddle Steamer Series and the On Ya Bike wherigo Series, heaps of other caches were also collected along the way but our primary target caches were completed which made us all very happy and very tired geocachers.

With the Turtle done, the PS Series done, the On Ya Bike done, the TdU & TdF done as well as the Riddlers done, our targeted caches has been accomplished. With the teams now split and it was back to FurfacesLL and myself, we had heaps to choose from. Today was cleaning up around Loxton and making our way over to Mildura for the night, before making our way back towards Wagga tomorrow.

A nice quick find here, now onto the next find for the day.

Thanks for the hides crane2 And thanks FurfacesLL for a trip to remember [^].

Second day of our roadtrip to SA. J+J.AU and I are targeting some series, but the first days are all about getting there. Today starts in Wentworth and gets us over the border to SA. Again great weather and very enjoyable caching.

That list of things that I would not know existed, if not for geocaching, grew today as I attended a CITO in a wetland that I knew nothing about[^]
During the CITO, my conversation with Otter61 turned to Aussie M & M[:X] which led to a phone call, a pick up[^] and a trip to Tailem Bend[^] to attend a CITO there which was being hosted by some Canberrians
By day's end I'd attended 2 CITO events and found 19 caches for the total of 21 [^]

Found and signed on our stay at an BnB at Loxton.
We had considered taking the van but decided a home would be a lot warmer.
It was!
Nice to get away after the lock down and taking muggle friends.

How very small!

Took a drive to Berri for some shopping. It was such a lovely day and being out caching again was great! Awesome day.

TFTC

Nice container!!

Heading back home to Queensland and we stopped to do this cache. Sure is quiet out here. Our thanks to crane2 for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Not sure if the sign meant "Site Under Development" or "Site Underdevelopment",
but there were a couple of artefacts here and a whole lot of potential
Look forward to visiting when they get it all going.

Only finding caches at an acceptable social distance!
Stay away from humans #washyour hands wear gloves, and change them between contacts!

Located today with the help of Sebastbat driving.

Leaving Geelong on Monday and travelled up to Nhill, next morning back on the road with the caravan behind which makes it a little harder to cache along the way.
After arriving at the park in was a quick set up and out the door with Phetlern, au.fait, and suscoe to find a few of the local caches.
Thanks crane2 for placing another cache for us to find and still have at least 200 to log.

Arrived in Loxton to team up with Suscoe, Phetlern and Bushfire for a few days of caching. After setting up camp we headed out to find a few in the local area. Saw the sign, grabbed the cache Thanks crane2

Suscoe was out in the great company of au.faye, Phetlern and Bushfire this afternoon.
We had all arrived at Loxton and with a few hours up our sleeves we headed off to find a few caches.

Thanks to crane2 for showing us another interesting location.

Our first full day in the riverland for 2020, we enjoyed meandering around the mighty Murray, where we found a variety of hides in some interesting locations. Spot on co'ords a quick find. It will be interesting to see the development.

Our thanks to 'crane2' for placing this cache for us to find.

Out for the day caching with LLL51, ROMA123 and Gemini7 picking up a few new caches that have popped up since our previous visit last year as well as a few that we had missed. [^]

Only a few pieces of machinery, wonder how the proposed museum is coming along. [?]

Thanks for the cache crane2.

Eagle eye amongst us spotted it fairly quickly - thanks Gemini 7. TFTC

Fortunate to be able to stay overnight in the Riverland after attending the event at Barmera.
This meant more caching for the journey home and 45 before the days end.
A quick find while travelling with hevwalker.
The log book is full.

Heading home from the Riverland with LiB after a lovely weekend caching, coffee & conversation...
An interesting spot...hopefully the museum will come to fruition...
