Thanks

quick find
The JAMS crew ( all 5 of us this trip JJ52,Allister w, Mogni, Michells&hound plus Sir_Spectre ) where headed to the 3 Community Celebration events in 3 states in one day plus a side trip down Euston
( it's only 55 km from our B&B one way ) for another geocaching event then a brief sleep. Then another geocaching event before Michells&hound hosted a CITO event in NSW. Of course there was time for finding of finding caches over 60 in the first day. Thanking those co for placing them and extra, extra thanks for the co for placing the gadget/field puzzle/creative caches. I left some fav points to let you know to keep up the good work. The way home was longer than getting there since we stopped and solved/stamped some multi's and off set letter box hides. Another good weekend away for us.

Found with the jams crew. TFTC

Second pit stop on the way home TFTC

Hey crane. Good to see you land. This time I was listening for bells but there were none. Piffy came to mind briefly [^][8)]

This was found on part of an 8 EVENT MADNESS in 3 state trip with four-fun. We cached, we kept hydrated, labbed, swagged and we paddled. Most of all we met lots of people an made new friends.

Thanks to crane2 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Day two of the riverland Event Madness trip and naturally we had to stop and find a few caches along the way again!
This was one of those fun finds [^]

Thanks for the cache

Found during a road trip via Wentworth, Menindie Lakes, Wilcannia, Cobar, Bourke and Cunnamulla to Charleville and back over 10 days, camping out at some great spots along the way. Met up with e.gregory1 at Bourke and we spent the next four days caching around Cunnamulla and out to Eulo, Yowah and Charleville, before e.gregory headed up to Townsville and I made my way southwards towards home. I camped out next to the Murray at Merbein Common last night and spent the morning caching around Mildura before heading home on the last day of the trip. Thanks for the cache crane2!

We found this cache on our last SA day for this trip on our way to the border. Thanks from D & HA B-A

Nice views nearby, quite dry though.

Based in Mildura with fellow geocaching -buddies Suscoe, today we headed westward and crossed that infamous border and enjoyed a day of caching around Renmark and Berri. It was actually back to home base from here for us today.

Thanks 'crane2' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

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 forthis hide, all good here today.

Nice quick one for a change. It’s taking me forever to get to my destination ️
TFTC

Not what I thought it may have been, I'm intrigued in what they are planning over the road. Tftc

What an amazing story in the cache notes, you were very fortunate to have somewhere safe to land. SL TFTC

It's going to be hot today, so I set off early on my journey to Renmark. Found this during my travels. tftc.

Nice story to go with this geocache

I know the feeling
Though I must admit that my first outlanding was intentional as part of me training
So the tug was already organised to rescue me and my instructor
Because me instructor already knew this was going to happen
They never tell the student though do they

Gliding is fun isn't it !!
Even the dragging the glider out of a muddy paddock in pieces after somebody got it stuck there

TFTC there Crane2

Another day out finding caches while on a geocaching trip with tmann421

Adelaide Trip 2017-2018. After Christmas I headed back to Adelaide for a family visit. Day 2. Things were a bit dryer today and I drove from Balranald to Adelaide via Mildura. I spent a bit longer around the Vic/SA Border before Renmark than I expected. After getting off the back roads I collect five along the Loxton road.
