I checked a few more of my hides and even run in to a couple of interstate Geocachers and found a few more caches along the way.Sorry for the generic log but trying to catch up on my backlog of found caches before the new year.TFTC Mattycat

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - Feb 29th, 2024. Keep the date free!

A jolly good start to what is going to be an amazing long weekend away. I could end up in many different states!
A state of shock , a state of confusion , a state of exhilaration

On our way to the Riverland for the 3 events in 3 states in 1 day, to celebrate International Geocaching Day.

All I can say is, Dan and Hanrahan were right. TFTC Mattycat

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

After three rather intense days of caching, focussing on the amazing "On Your Bike" geo-art, today we took the opportunity to enjoy the Murraylands in the company of fellow Victorians & caching companions - Suscoe.
Lots of history!

Thanks Mattycat for placing caches in interesting locations.

Suscoe's last day of caching along the Murray for this trip.
We headed out with our great friends Phetlern.
It was a sunny day and with a good variety of locations we enjoyed our wander around.
Thanks to Mattycat for this hide.

A great spot for a cache stop! TFTC.

I replaced the container as the lid was brittle. Lucky I had a very similar size and shape cache!

Today I headed out for a day of caching around Blanchetown. I didn’t believe Mrs Google when she said it was going to be 26 degrees. I am not sure it was that wallet but it was quite a contrast to previous days.
Was happy to come away with around 50 finds and only a few dnf.
I mainly focused on the Ronka JLWE series the puzzles were all found in great condition but unfortunately the trads were a little worse for wear, alas I didn’t have any ‘large’ containers to replace with. Was good to finally get this series ticked off.
There were a lot of sleepy lizards out and dragon flies obviously as confused as me with the change in temperature.
Enjoyed a nice picnic down by the river and even managed to fit in some cache maintenance on the way home.
My thanks to all the CO for their awesome efforts.

jebjeb wanted to borrow some TOTTs and so Otter61 and I came out to meet them and hand over the required TOTTs[^]
We spent some time caching together until Otter61 and I had found all bar 2 of the whole series[^]
The we left jebjeb to finish off their needed caches in the series while we cached our way home
Having planned an early afternoon end to our caching anyway[^] we were happy to finish about 2.30pm[^] with 37 finds for me and only 1 DNF, although that should be a DNA as we saw the cache, we just weren't going to die today![^]

Had a blast driving through here today in the Corolla[^]
Second time I've done Brookfield's caches in the Corolla[^] only this time it was daytime
There may be rain eventually (which is kind of ironic as I'm now logging at the end of March while I'm in Shepparton and we've had so much rain here that my annexe has been leaking like a sieve[xx(] Still at least we've not flooded like poor NSW and Queensland)

Nice one. Good condition. Found on drive to get fuel at Blanchetown. TFTC

Quick find and sign with Earthlight

Just loved this old group of ruins. Found with with The X-Trailers. A fav point today.TFTC

One of the last caches as the dynamic duo were heading home. An interesting ruin and a quick find.

Never found any on this day in March, so just had to get out and do it.
Thank you for the cache.

A quick find while caching around Blanchtown.TFTC

Out for a short but busy holiday with sir_spectre. Of course there are so many ways to the Riverland and so many smilies to make.
Thanks to Mattycat from mogni

Day 1 Adelaide to Monash

Found with mogni on route to monash. It turns out that we can't get in to the B abd B till 4 pm, so killing time finding caches on route heading to monash and leaving a trail of smileys behind us. quick find.

Myself and mogni came up to the river land to go to MacCabe Corner and find the virtual there plus drive the mail trail in murray sunset national park plus the 4 x 4 track in cooltong national park. The original idea was to go through to mildura but with weather 37, 45 , 37 degrees fore cast we changed plans and stayed in monash instead. Any caches that where found damaged where replaced and any logbooks found full or with 2 or 3 spaces left where replaced.

Not in a prickly spot at all...
Nice quick find while driving to Blanchetown with the B*DS.

Another find for today after geocaching in Blanchetown today. SL TFTC

Travelling around Australia, moving today from Lyrup to Blanchetown. Grabbed as many caches as we could with the caravan on tow. Once set up we then headed out to explore the surrounds.

TFTC

Found easy

I was part of a group who recited ‘Said Hanrahan’ over thirty years ago back in my Mjnlaton days, so it was lovely to actually locate this cache. Cache 2942.

Up the block at Sedan for the weekend and headed out this afternoon to get the caches needed for the Mystery at the Museum. TFTC.

Well you had me, I looked all through the cactus, you know I stuffed up! Found it in the end

Out for the middle of the day to go for a bike ride but forgot my knicks so decided to a loop around the back of Truro, Sedan and back to blanchetown. Total of 21 finds for the day.
Thanks for the cache

Found quick on our way home from our Darwin trip

After a DNF we dropped past to check on the cache and the original had indeed been rooned.

Didn't have the same size in the geosupplymobile, so fashioned a more hidden hide, slightly smaller.

Now a smallish small or a largish micro [:o)]
Just above ground level.

Not a BBB hide. More like a BBBBBBBBBBBB hide. ie, not in the prickly stuff

PLEASE respect the locals and don't cross the fences to the private property. Enjoy the view!

We had no luck finding this one today. We had a search around but came up empty. Was worth the detour to check out the buildings. Thanks for the hunt.

Found near a good astronomy spot, whilst observing the Eta Aquariids meteor shower.

A quick find. Thanks Mattycat.

A great poem by a great Aussie poet
And a great spot to hide a cache,
next to one of the biggest collections of roons I've seen around here [^]

This cache could be classified as a 'BBB Blocker' too [^]

TFTC.

Fave dance time in the middle of nowhere [:o]

Our first find today and we saw this one as we pulled up .
TNLNSL.
This place looks like it was one of the bigger farms out here in the early days .
Thanks Mattycat.

Easily found; dirt roads are getting very dusty with the dry.

Found during a scenic drive through the Murraylands. Thanks for the cache Mattycat!

Enjoyed a day away from work, enjoying the sunshine, people and caches we found along the way
TFTC

Still dry around here. All that rain in Adelaide did not make it to the plain.

One of the finds made today with clare007 and Froghoppin, tackling the caches in the Brookfield C.P. / Blanchetown area. Some creative caches, all in good condition!!! Some interesting accommodation here!!!

Out & about with CPWanderer and Froghoppin caching for the day around Blanchetown, Brookfield & Towitta.

The showers had finished, so the rest of the day was overcast & breezy which proved to be good weather for caching.

Our first stop of the day and a nice, quick find.
Thanks for bringing us here Mattycat

Out with a CPWanderer and Clare007 we ventured out for a tour around Blanchetown for the day, a coolish day with some blustery wind but great conditions for caching and finishing the day without a DNF was a bonus

Our first for the day, certainly love seeing these old buildings reminding us of our pioneering days, with the winter being so dry being rooned would be an understatement, cache was a quick find for s today

Another Puzzled Puzzler's Tuesday caching day. Today myself and Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rat piled into the Adder-mobile with Blackadders and headed out towards the new Riddler's series of puzzles near Blanchetown. Off course there were a few other finds on the way and afterwards. [8)]
Some great old Roons. Quick find as we progressed to our target.

**Thanks Mattycat for this cache. **

Yay Tuesday caching day.
A Rat, a Starfish and a Adder stopped here for a quick find and a smiley.
After battling the gale force winds.
These buildings definitely have seen better days.
Then it was on to turn more dots into smileys.TFTC

An Adder, Rat and a Starfish had were on a mission to seek a number of new puzzle caches that were placed for the Roonka event weekend and to turn a number of others on the map to smileys.

Log signed and returned, all in good condition. TFTC

On the way to Renmark and stopping to find some caches. Saw plenty of kangaroos and my first sighting of wombats in the wild.

Quick and easy find!
Nice Roons, but it is easy to see why out here.
Middle of winter and the country is very dry!
Tftc!

TFTC

There was plenty of second hand sheep food to inhale around here. Nice roons.

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

The problem with night time is it is hard to see the roons. Thanks for the daytime pictures and TFTC

Found on game day at the June Long Weekend Event, on our way back from Mystery #10. TFTC!

Love old ruins, they have so many stories to tell. Hevwalker and I picked up this great cache during the Roonka Rampage JLW event games day. TFTC. Took koala TB.

JLWE game day...in the area so collected some others along the way...
A nice collection of ruins here...glad it's not in the BBB's...

Published - I remember that poem from my school days

The streak continues, 7 years, and still looking.
Was about to head out shopping when the ping for this one went off. Quite a distance, but the month is still young and I haven't had an FTF fix yet. Early enough in the day that hopefully the locals will be busy with life and work.
Well over an hour later was approaching GZ to see a car already parked there
After a chat with some locals who were interested in the ruins, managed to find a still blank log
Thanks Mattycat for putting this cache out here for us all to find and also wonder about the nearby ruins.
