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.The date palms, standing tall and proud, were a reminder of the Middle Eastern influence brought to Australia by early migrants, who recognized the Riverlands climate as perfect for growing dates. The palms swayed in the breeze, a symbol of how diverse farming has taken root here over the decades. Thanks for the cache crane2.-M
We stayed at Berri for a few days R&R and, of course, found some smileysTFTC
Up this way and had to make a stop so stopped here. Nice date but you're not touching mine.Container is brittle.Easy find here. TFTC SL

One of eighteen caches found on International Geocaching day doing the tri-states border hopping events.
I wanted to get a traditional, a multi and a puzzle in South Australia before crossing the border and as the traditional I wanted didn't end up being close to the road I was on this one was a very good replacement.
Thanks to crane2 for putting out this cache for us to find.

Had to drop the generator off in Loxton for repairs so grabbed a few caches while in the area TFTC
Yesterday Fitzy_63, Albida33, Minniek, Sol de Lune and I found about 350 of the On Your Bike Series so today we wanted to get back out and find to the end of the series. It was forecast to be even hotter today than yesterday so we decided to head out early. Of course the plan didn't work. We finished early and attacked another group of caches rather than go back to camp early
It was another great day of caching thanks to all the COs and nearly all caches were found to be in good order. Those that weren't will have individual notes added later. Logs were signed FAMSS

Day 6: SA/Vic Christmas holiday trip
Last Christmas holidays, fitzy_1965 and I (along with two geo-kids, Death Killer & my_name_jeff_1) headed to SA to visit family whilst we could, and to collect as many counties and caches as possible along the way. We decided even before getting home that we needed to go back. The added incentive of more On You Bike series sealed the deal. Fast forward through 2021 (because who wants to remember that), and here we are again. This time with extra company in the form of Sol de lune, Smittengranny and albida33.
After an exhausting 5 days in the SA heat, we made the decision to pack up a day early and head back across the border to do the Paddle Steamer series…..and to air conditioned accommodation instead of continuing to camp in tents! We said goodbye to Albida33 who was staying a few more days in SA. Caching along the way, we headed for the series straight up before continuing to our hotel…. Ah luxury!
All caches were signed as FMSS and were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned.

26,217. Found with minniek, Sol de Lune and Smittengranny during our post Christmas / New Year trip over to South Australia and Victoria to tackle the On Your Bike and Paddle Steamer series among many other caches.
Today we started by heading to the Mildura region to start the Paddle Steamer, and grabbed several others along the way. Signed as FMSS. This was another long hot day.
When minniek and I were in South Australia in January this year (2021) doing the On Your Bike series of (then) 100 Wherigo caches, we were talking to the CO who mentioned that a whole lot more were soon to be published, and they were - 512 more ! So once back home we set about solving all those new ones which was at least something to do during 'stay at home' orders effecting us. Then once they were all solved we planned a trip over to grab them. Then just to add to the fun the latest 152 were published just in time for us to spend time solving them all so we could get the whole set. With our caching friends Sol de Lune, Smittengranny and albida33 this series was our main aim, but with the 'Around the World in 81 caches' series, various solved puzzles and the Paddle Steamer as standby if we got the time.
We managed some BIG days caching and finished off the On Your Bike series in three days, then attempted the mammoth 'Around the World in 81 caches' series and some lovely high/rare D/T caches - all in searing summer heat peaking at over 40 degrees ! Once they were finally completed we headed over to the Mildura region for another two blistering hot days doing the Paddle Steamer series. After camping for five nights we finally relented and got hotel rooms for the last two nights and worked the air conditioning to the bone.
All in all an amazingly fun time was had, and we have all made room in our calendars for when the next part of the On Your Bike series is published - no pressure ! Highlights included many of the fun tree climbs, the pole caches which increased our skills at the recovery and replacements of those styled caches, and the relaxed times and banter around the camp site at the end of each tiring day - including New Years Eve !
Thanks to all the COs for contributing their caches to our fun times, and I must apologise for the generic logs as we did find well over one thousand caches which now require logging !

A nice stop on our journey across the country from Adelaide to Brisbane with Davidwazza! TFTC!
Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.
Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled around the Murray Riverlands, visiting Loxton, Paringa, and Renmark. We started the day from Berri, travelling south and finding a few miscellaneous geocaches. Once at Loxton, we completed the *Historical Loxton* Adventure Lab, found a few geocaches along the river, and then had lunch in town. We then drove towards Paringa, and took a walk around Murtho and Headings Cliffs. We then proceeded back through Renmark, and finished off our evening with a walk at Wilabalangaloo and completing the Berri *A River Contemplation* Adventure Lab.
A quick detour to this location, passing the field of dates nearby! This geocache was a reasonably quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape, although noting that only two of the four container lid snaplocks are remaining. Thanks crane2 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found and signed on our stay at an BnB at Loxton.
I stopped saying "it will be under that tree" but I chose the wrong tree.
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.

I come up to stay in Barmera for a couple of weeks each year around the June long weekend. There are a group of us and we try to organise one caching day where we all go for a drive, a picnic and a find a few caches. Today was the day and along with ROMA123, LLL51 and Gemini7 we headed off for a fun day. [^]

Nice day to find a cache.
Off for a drive, to Mexico and beyond... with Purrfect Di and Jack.
Many sights were seen, a few caches were found and signed off.
This was one of those on our way.
Sure I'd have a coffee with the CO
Not sure my partner thinks of cache days as a date though [:o)]

Suscoe headed out today from Mildura for a trip to Renmark and Berri and back again.
We were in the terrific company of Phetlern.
We covered well over 360 kilometres on this trip and we saw a wide variety of countryside from sand drifts, to cropping land to scrub and beautiful green orchards and grape vines.
We saw quite a few different varieties of birds and saw the magnificent Murray River from different perspectives.
It was a much cooler day today with clouds breaking up the sunshine from time to time.
Thanks to crane2 for this hide, we have had a wonderful day of caching and this was another good spot to stop.

Out and about today with goingplaces2 on a caching run. We took a lot of back roads and tracks and had a great day. This one was a nice easy find and all duties were soon completed. TFTC.
Today it was a matter of selecting fewer caches for the list, but going mainly for interest. With ilook4geo we travelled past vineyards, mallee, drove dirt roads and tracks, enjoying it all. We started here and made a successful find. Both names were noted on the log, all was put back and we were off again to look for other interesting caches as well. Thank you, crane2, for placing this cache.
As we wander the great land
