Stony Not Rusty Quorn, South Australia, Australia
By Benjamin Screamer on 18-Apr-18. Waypoint GC7N95G

Sorry. My Muggle pal who does maintenance on my Quorn caches is leaving town so I'm archiving them.

Found it may need new container due to cracking

good Sunday view

Camping in Quorn we took the opportunity to venture out this way to grab a few of the 'out of the way' caches. On our way back into town after looping from Quorn to Bruce and back, we stopped past this one for a quick find. TFTC

Found with richlink as part of our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
Today we toured from PA to Quorn and Hawker and back to PA.
Thanks for the cache Benjamin Screamer.

Left PA early morning with iluvtrekking for a day trip to Quorn and Hawker. Found on our return from Hawker. Thanks Benjamin Screamer

Found with Dozenmater,,TFTC

TFTC - found with rainygirl74

Travelling from Murray Town to Port Augusta, we decided to do a loop around to Quorn. This cache was found along the way.

Another find for MDG! TFTC

Found by Mitchell Gibb

After traipsing around Western Queensland for 4 1/2 weeks then having to head to Northern Territory then SA to try and get back home that way due to border closures.
After escaping from NT to SA I was spending a few days in SA before heading back to lockdown in Victoria.
Staying at Quorn for a couple of nights and after ditching the van in the caravan park it was time to try and find all of the caches around here and also the ones on the way back to Stirling North.
A lot easier to pull over with out a van.
Forget to log these last few caches when I got home so here I go.

Thanks Benjamin Screamer TFTC.

Staying in Quorn for a few days and spent today finding the caches around town by deadly treadly and the geoute, most were quick easy finds .

Distance from original: 44.9 feet or 13.7 meters.

The original GZ has been flooded and dredged. New cache installed nearby on higher ground.

After GZ was flooded and the cache disappeared I replaced the cache in a new GZ.

Maintenance done. All good now.

Needs replacing. Story later.

This cache requires maintenance

Found with earthlight
Cache needs a little TLC

Found with The X-Trailers as we travelled the roads nth today.
Cache needs repair as The X-trailers stated.

A nice easy find but the container has disintegrated and did not have another container with me. It may not last much longer. Thanks.

Found while staying in the Quorn area. for a few days sight seeing and geocaching with Jac Jam. This was a quick find. THe container is cracked with hole in it and the log book has had water through it but is still useable. TFTC

The S.A. government has lifted travel restriction throughout the state. Happy geocaching!

This geocache is currently disabled because I support the government's non-essential activities restrictions that have been introduced because of the COVID-19 virus crisis. I encourage you all to suspend your geocaching activities ASAP. We must all work together to stop the virus spreading. The cache will be enabled in the future.

Nice. TNLS

Look out for snakes..!!

Thanks

Thanks for the cache. Good thing it wasn’t hot today with all the long grass there could have been some unwanted visitors!

Really weary about doing this as we needed to cross the wide, weedy area towards gz.
It was 25-30C degrees & hoping that no snakes were baking in & around gz.
The snake whisperer was in front which made me less uncomfortable,
but was grateful to find the cache not where I thought it might be & more accessible.
In true caching spirit we found an easier way out after finding & signing the log.
Thanks for the cache Benjamin Screamer

We seemed to take the hardest route into this and then saw the easy way out!!! Quick find with clare007!!

Last day in Quorn and decided to explore the plain and hills east of town. First find today. Tftc

Found with Csaba!

Thanks Benjamin Screamer

Out with Malco! on our day off from hiking. Thanks

yes found it

It was the final day of the Quorn Quondam Quest (QQQ) weekend event, and it was a day of some local geocaching around Quorn, geocaching to the Pichi Richi Railway Woolshed Flat Train Station CITO event, a climb with Laighside Legends to Mount Brown, and then traveling back to Adelaide in the evening.

An interesting sight that was certainly worthy of a geocache. Upon approach, I noted that the cache container was sticking out a bit, so tried to camouflage it better when I hid it again. Thanks Benjamin Screamer, a good sized container! Cheers.

Found with ma77hew and Geoboy during game day at the QQQ JLWE event. TFTC

Do stones ever rust?

Found on the JLWE with four-fun and others- epic fun and games!!

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

Found during the June Long Weekend Event cache hunt

Up this way for the JLWE and took the opportunity of a couple of local finds
Cheers & TFTH

Out with sir_spectre and BratKat in preparation for the JLWE. But of course you don't just come to an area for an event you also cache the local district. We may not have got big numbers but we did find some great caches and saw some amazing locations.
Thanks to Benjamin Screamer from mogni

Camped at Quorn for the JLWE Today was all about great company with hevwalker & scramping, enjoying the sights & places geocaching took us and having fun
The scenic backdrop is amazing

Thanks for the cache Benjamin Screamer

Found with e.gregory1 as we traveled around Hawker, Cradock, Carrieton, Hammond and Bruce, finding great caches in isolated and interesting places along the way, all during the June Long Weekend Event. Thanks for the cache Benjamin Screamer!

We are in Quorn for the June Long Weekend. We are pseudo JLWE eventers as whilst we are here we are not doing the game day on Sunday. But with so many cachers around and so much going on couldn't resist making the journey up.
Camping at the Quorn Campsite so the hound doesn't upset anyone, what a lovely campsite it is too.
Had an terrific day of caching, today was about quality over quantity. It was a wonderful day to be alive, the scenery was spectacular, we loved seeing the Pichi Richi train. Quorn is a lovely place, we found the people to be so welcoming. We couldn't do as much as we wanted with the dog in tow but we still had a brilliant weekend.
Without a doubt we will be back up here sometime to head a bit deeper into the Flinders Ranges and see a bit more of the lovely scenery.
We still had plenty of time before the flash mob so we continued on to find this one. Another very nice find. TFTC Benjamin Screamer, we loved seeing all these old railway bridges. The hound enjoyed sniffing around here too.

Found with FeatherWaite while in the area to attend the Quorn June Long Weekend events.

Thanks Benjamin Screamer for the cache.

Found at 7:59 AM GAFF1.
Headed out looking for a spot to place the game cache for the JLWE. The drive out was interesting s suddenly the country around here turned into real outback red dirt and gibber plains!
Thanks Benjamin Screamer

Out and about with Mogni and Sir Spectre for the JLWE

Quick find w o th hevwalker and LiB. TFTC

Found on JLWE

In Quorn for the weekend on official 'Hogwarts' business, decided to grab some caches inbetween times..Nice to find a decent sized container! A quick find, TFTC

Thx cheers Peter

All good at GZ. Plenty of space in the log. Replaced missing pen and pencil.

We have been travelling since January when we left Geelong and travelled up the centre to Alice then Darwin. We crossed the border into WA at the start of May and completed the Gibbs river road which has been one of the highlights so far
From Broome we travelled to cape leveque to find the best beach ever
From Broome we have then zig zagged from coast to inland to make sure we saw as much as we could
We are travelling along at our own pace and so will cache and see as much of the area as we can
Honestly it’s thank to caching that we get to see so much
TFTC
We have decided to stop in port Augusta for a few days as it seems to always be a place we drive straight through on our way back and forth up and down the centre

Another neat hide by an historic railway structure.
Sad they aren't in use now.
Found along with Jack and Sebastbat.
Thanks for the cache Benjamin Screamer

Stopped by on way home from Flinders.

Found It!
A quick find here on arriving at Quorn. Looks like it's been a while since a train has travelled though here...
TFTC

The tracks were definitely rusty - no trains today. TFTC

Not only is this a railway bridge - it's a gate to the paddock . Who would have thought this culvert would have so many uses [?].

Thanks Benjamin Screamer.

Just after I replaced the cache the local landowner arrived. Photography of bridges is a thing.

I saw these caches pop up earlier in the week and started watching for any activity. Come Thursday night and the plan was hatched to head home via Quorn and some potential FTF. The working week over, the car packed and the GPS units loaded and it's time to hit the road. But first job was dialing in one of these caches on the GPS but the unit wasn't having a bar of it. Closer to Quorn and the realisation dawned that the caches didn't load to the GPS. A quick stop in Quorn for a switch of GPS adn a check of c:geo and I was on the right track again.

After a walk along main street capturing ingress portals I headed out of town for my third and last to find for the day at 12:12.

Thanks for the cache Benjamin Screamer. I awarding a favourite point for the well presented caches and the series.
