We are in a rental motorhome and travelling north of Adelaide before making our way to Melbourne over the next few weeks. Today we made a return trip from Hawker to Blinman and found a few caches along the way. Mrs nzk was anxious about snakes but didnt see any on this part of the trip (Mr nzk saw one crossing the road while we were driving). We saw plenty of emus though, including a couple which sauntered across in front of our vehicle. All okay with the cache, TFTC Freddo.
I do believe I need to look at my device more and not assume where the cache would be. A quick find regardless of my oversight.
On our travels we found ourselves heading for Wilpena and took the opportunity to grab a few caches this was a nice quick find in a brilliant place, thanks for placing it
Today we were on the way to the Flinders Range NP. We stopped at one ore other Geocache on the way. This was one we found. Thank you for the Cache !
We decided adding an extra few hours to the drive home for some caching wouldnt hurt. Nice cache and as the sign says whats the rush?
A short stop here, cache found and is all good.
With a few days off work I decided to head north for a night to the Flinders Ranges, and attempt to find SAs longest unfound traditional cache and Mount Abrupt plus what ever I had time for in the area. A beautiful part of the world up here.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and now in the Flinders Ranges. We haven’t been further than Hawker on previous trips and are in awe of the stunning scenery. Thanks for the hide Freddo
Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches along the way. We headed off on a round trip from Hawker to Blinman. The scenery was stunning. We also enjoyed the history of the area. Thanks for the cache.
Sadly the Pink Landy is no more - not sure what happened to her - did someone knick it???? It is now an Old Suitcase. Either way we found the Cache.
Quick find, and cache and log are good. I picked up the TB 'GeoPilots FTF Puzzle Geocoin', which was not logged here, but last in a cache at Cobar, NSW. TFTC Freddo.
Thrown out by previous logs and failure to believe my gas. Finally followed gps to correct co ordinates. Tftc
Love the nearby mailbox, especially when out after dark. Can’t miss it. A nice cache and it had good swaps and and dry logs. Thanks for bringing us this way and giving us a good excuse for a stop and look around. Happy journeys and TFTC
The return trip of our epic Flinders expedition with Mattycat and Perfect DI had us at Hawker for a couple of nights, exploring north of the town found the cache all in good condition

29 June 2022 15:51. Found with Hearse068 while camping with camping buddies on our Flinders Ranges school holidays trip. Thanks Freddo for the cache.
Visiting the beautiful Flinders again after a couple of years. It’s always good to be here. Thanks for the hide.
Our last day in the flinders, there were some amazing caches out here! Thank you geocaching community x
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Had some time free this morning, so decided to head out and find as many of the remaining unfound caches in the near area as possible. This was 2nd on the list and after allowing the GPS to settle finally got a bearing, and with the hint, soon spotted the hide. Signed the log and then replaced all as found.
Gratias pro cache Freddo

Quick find and sign on the way from Quorn via Hawker to Rawnsley Park. Not sure what I was expecting here, but found a cache! TFTC Freddo
Found during a trip to the northern Flinders Ranges for the week, traveling through Parachilna and Beltana, and camping out for the first two nights at the Black Range Spring campsite in the very scenic Warraweena Conservation Park. On our way back from Warraweena we returned to Beltana, where we had an extensive look around the historic township before heading down to Parachilna Gorge for the next two nights. In an adventurous and memorable 4WD day trip from Parachilna Gorge we drove out along the Public Access Route (PAR) to the Nuccaleena Mine site, then from a west to east circuit along PAR #4, past the Artimore Ruins to Blinman and back through the eastern end of the gorge. The final day took us down the eastern face of Wilpena Pound stopping at caches along the way. Thanks for the cache Freddo!
Found this on the way to Rawnsley to climb the Bluff. We used to stay at Rawnsley every year for about 10 years but haven't been up here for 9 years. I remember when there used to be a pink Landrover here! TFTC
Found with Mosaikmum and Agelessone while on our holiday trip through Queensland and central Australia TFTC
Had to sit in the car for a while waiting for a rain shower to pass but an easy find on our way to wilpenna
as we have a look around the area this was one of the caches we found
A good day was had while grabbing these caches
Thanks Freddo for placeing them

TFTC SL Great little bit of road side art. Found your cache today while exploring the Flinders ranges. Thanks for bringing us here.
I really need to come up with a better system of keeping track of which caches I have found if im not going ot log them there and then.. Aghh, I think I will jsut go back to the old copy and paste log there and then. Ok so I have got through al lthe EC and Virtual answers submitted and logged now wading through the trads. I'm certain this was one of the caches we found while in the Flinders Ranges, a lovely letterbox nearby, Geo daughter was impressed, easy to find too! TFTC

Nearly took the landy in exchange for bicycle as rain getting closer, but wouldn't work, no roof
A long weekend away with sir_spectre in the Flinders Ranges. We had each been here before and strangely had few double ups so some revisiting was in order to try to get our maps similar. The weather threw everything at us but we just made our plans suit the conditions. Lots of 4WD and walks included.
Thanks to Freddo from mogni

quick find.
Took Mogni for a trip to the Flinders Rangers for the long weekend with extra day either side. The target for the trip was to clear some of the " used to be a church " micro series on the way up and on the back as well, complete a couple of station tracks plus hike to Blinman Pools. We where not expecting a couple of 34 degree days then a 30 km wind dust storm followed by rain over night and then the wilpenda pound walls covered in fog for the next 1/2 a day. It did change our plans a little and the order we did things. All containers we found damaged, broken, cracked were replaced and were possible ( if not soaked ) original log books were kept. Any log books found full were replaced or if room had extra scrolls added in to the cache.

Found with The X-Trailers as we headed to Wilpena. Loved the letterbox car at entrance to property. TFTC
Wondered what a Pink Landy was. As we were driving along approaching the spot it all made sense. TFTC!
Had to stop for this one, as the geokids reckon it is a spitting image of their electric car they had when much much smaller!
Last stop for the day, a quick find and we were on our way...

Found with Jac-Jam while travelling north trough the Flinders ranges. another find while we were out from Merna Mora on a day trip exploring the area. TFTC.
Cute!!
Enjoying a few days in the Flinders. Unfortunately, Mr Frog twisted his ankle on our first day of our holiday and is on crutches, so we aren't going on any walks just enjoying the many great drives.

Stopped here in our way up to the Flinders. We were traveling with Mrs FF’s parents (broken_hamish) who were well away of the pink Landy, they are Landrover officionados, the Hamish referenced in their team name was a Landrover who unfortunately broke down (in the Flinders no less!) leading to their first experience caching while hitching a ride with Mrs FF’s brother.
It was raining a lot at GZ, so it was a quick find. The adjacent property is currently for sale if anyone is interested in a piece of paradise.

Quick find while passing through with Poelypoel on our post COVID isolation Flinders and Gammons Tour.
Fantastic spot that we loved exploring.
Cache discovered in a good condition.
Loved this cache. Fair bit of effort went into the Landy
