Oh my! I thought. Not one of these impossible micros on a metal object. First place we looked. There it was. Tftc

Thanks for my first find!

TFTC. Found it .... eventually Log signed

Handy having kids for this find

We all bumped our heads doing it

Whatever hair was left on top of my head is gone after looking for this cache in such a public place. No cigar

Had a quick look met fellow cachers no luck.

Found with MoSSau whilst on tour with Poppys Legacy Log roll full as per previous logsTftc

Found with Lonely RA, log was full and Lonely RA has sent owner a message thanks for cache

2nd attempt at this one. 1st attempt was a year or 2 ago. Took some time to find this little suckerLog book (scroll) is full.TFTC SL

Sigh too many muggles. Had a brief look and did a bit of shoelace tying but way too many people about. Who would have thought it would be so busy on a Tuesday...

That was a challenge!! Had to read back through the logs to see (a) what we were looking for, and (b) a general position on this war prize.TFTC

Down this way for and AdLab. Our first cannon find... why are they always in high traffic areas . Log is chocca's so signed where we could.

Found today with the kids across from The Burra Hotel - my sister's new pub!

Oh Krupp. Too many muggles to do a details search. Maybe next time.

Tftc, couldnt write in the log, its full. Im happy just to have found it!

Thanks very much. Really had fun finding it Great hide

Found after getting down and dirtyLiz bumped her head .Now to visit the bakeryTftc

Found after bumping my head. Cache log needs replacing. Caching with The X-Trailers.Went and visited the local bakery after replacing the cache. TFTC

Tiny watch your head. TYFTC

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 6 - Morgan to Jamestown via Burra and Hallett. After a fun day around Morgan yesterday, it was time to move on. A very cold night last night. I did a few roadside caches along the way, but I spent most of my caching day around Burra. I have done quite a bit of caching in Burra before, but it was great to see a wonderful collection of caches to be attempted today. I even managed two sets of Labs, including a good walk around the mine site. As I headed over to Jamestown, there were a few caches that drew attention to the huge wind farms on all of these ridge lines. My last cache ended up pretty much being where I stopped to camp for the night. Into town for dinner tonight.As usual, the sight of this brought a feeling of dread. Then I started looking and was not sure what to expect. I was on my second pass when my fingers felt this evil item. Nano rant over. ...Thanks for the cache froghoppin46458.3 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & October 2019 Take a Walk A#408**Albida**

Failed to find this cache initially, but came back a few days later and was successful. Thanks for the find!

Couldnt find it

Here for Easter Weekend and spent a good 2 hours on and off looking. Found it where Id looked before, painfully obvious. Log full but had lots of fun!TFTC

Yes, we did it. A nano on a cannon with a brand new log book (thanks for the maintenance). We initially looked at the more complicated end, but success was further away and well hidden.

A quick check, it's still there, going it's under but in top half, tucked in nano

GC2567 failed 2.3.24. Too many muggers.

A very busy intersection with lots of muggles. Trying to be stealthy while looking was hard going. Wasn't able to find it without drawing too much attention to myself.

This is the second cannon location and the second DNF.

Cache now replaced, the nano factory is back in production, cheers good hunting

Called in to check up on this one, unfortunately it has gone and we need to source a replacement for our next visit

Needs a check up,

Looked everywhere

Unfortunately couldn't find this bad boy today! Only had about 10 minutes between stops on the way to Flinders Until next time

Great spot.

Looked for a while in the sun. Found where we think it was, but area was stuffed with candy wrappers. Removed them, but no geocache. Has someone removed it?

Well this was a nemesis for 3 days! Naughtybunny and I were on a road trip to Burra and this was the first cache in Burra itself. No luck. We came again at night thinking that torches would help. No luck. We came again the next day. No luck. We came again after dinner. No luck. Lucky the place we were staying at was within walking distance. The final day arrived and we were about to head out home. One more try. We looked and in a short time we had it. The crazy thing was it was quite exposed and we both knew we had looked here. Hmmm... Anyways - we were happy to have found it and cross this one off the list. Canons with canons should be banned! TNLN. Cheers.

This bloody thing!We looked in daylight. We looked by torchlight. We looked again in daylight. We looked again by torchlight. We lay on our backs. We knelt, bent over, peered, crawled... We looked again in daylight, and Chookster spotted it in such an obvious place that both of us had searched numerous times. We wondered if another cacher had found it that day and placed it back in a different spot. But no one else has logged it, so unless a local's playing silly buggers, we somehow missed the bleeding obvious! We're baffled.But it's good to have a smilie for this one!TFTC froghoppin. I think.

Took Dad on fathers day for first caching experience. No luck this time

Couldnt find at midnight, maybe reattempt during day time

Found it!! Was about to start rolling around on the ground but luckily I found it before then. Paper log is full.

Bloody nanos, the street was full of people, but know one took any notice of us rolling around under the canon finally found and full log signed tftc

Found with giraffe_legs. Tftc

Took a little while, lucky I was waiting for coffee

Must be a tough one!

Difficult find…luck was on my side today. TFTC

Lots of hideing places

Quick find. (Only because it was the first place I happened to put my hand). Log is full.
Love this little town. Stopped for a coffee on way back from the S.A masters game Dragonboating .

Looked for ages like for even I don’t think it’s there or I’ve missed it somewhere.

Took us a while and a few bumped heads from the kids but we found it.

Well hidden! ️

Tftc. Like paying respects at war memorials.

A quick find here with Deefa71. Greetings from Perth. Tftc

Found after a relatively short time. It helps to have done a few of these before. TFTC.
Nice work. AND I hate nano's on any military stuff. Not just cannons. Lol.

Very cool find and on so freakin small. Loved this adventure.

Second look here. Second DNF.

I hate nanos on canons.

Wow that was small

What a lovely day to be caching in this area. Found with a lot of perserverance. Found with Symonds 6. Signed log as GuS6. TFTC.

TFTC Guz's 6

Nice.

Perseverance paid off and I finally found the little blighter in it's hiding spot. A little smaller than I expected (actually it was a lot smaller than I expected) but tactile probing finally exposed its location.
Most satisfying.
That for the cache, froghoppin.
Love your work.

DNF for us

Maybe another day.

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. Another bitterly cold, wet day today and the sky is still touching the ground, a perfect day to Geocache.

Only half of the container was there, so we have replaced the container container holding the original log.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA, fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Our thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

So fun! The micro-est cache we’ve ever found!

Great find, took a while to find. Felt so dumb. The cache has no lid and probably needs a new log book. TFTC

Found with the jams crew on our way to Clare for the JLWE. Lid is missing. TFTC

Found it on Geo weekend. Log as jams

A short stop in Burra on the way North to Terrowie. Had to have a go at this one. Two of us searched in many spots but came up empty handed.

We are finally able to travel interstate without heaps of loops to jump through. We thought we would take it easy and have a look around South Australia and grab a few more LGA's while we were here.
I usually dn't have a lot of luck on these, the chances of finding it are about 50/50 for me. I managed to fee in the right spot for this one. The lid is missing however.


This was find number 8 for the day.

Late log, just realised I'd missed logging. Found on our way over to Morgan to compete in the 2022 True Grit event. The Friday drive over is a casual one, enjoying lunch in Burra as our bodies are still nimble and full of energy. Found this one with a heap of muggle team mates running decoy, taking photos and running hands everywhere. It's a close thing for me - a BBB cache or a cannon cache - hard to say which is worse. TFTC

Travelling from Robertstown to Murray Town, we stopped at Burra for lunch. I had a reasonable search, but could not find this cache.

Its not there anymore

Cache is still here but lid is missing

Great hiding spot great location

Got down and dirty here but couldn't find. On our way back to Perth with row boats from the Nationals in Nagambie, Vic.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
First day of a week in Burra and decided to get Pizza for tea. Ordered the pizza and went for a wander to the cannon. What was I thinking? Nano on a cannon? Challenge accepted. Circled a couple of times looking at the construction. Saw a good possibility and got under and found a nano with the lid missing. Extracted the log, signed and then replaced. Put the cache back as found. Now back to get the pizza and back to the accommodation for a yummy dinner.
Gratias pro cache froghoppin

Another done for the Lady Captain and I.

Lid missing, rather wet
TFTC

Got down and dirty, lid is missing though!
TFTC we have enjoyed Burra Burra

In the spot that seemed logical we only found a discarded AA battery so the kids are worried that someone has interfered with the cache.

Forgot the pen but found

Found

Checked everywhere without success ️
Found a munzee but no micro

Full time nomads since 2014. Still tootling around the country trying to avoid Covid hotspots.

Back in SA for harvest work. Spending a few days in Kapunda before heading to York Peninsula. We nearly got washed away yesterday in the yukky weather but today has far more promise so we set off to explore Burra. Even with a stop at the Burra Butcher. Had some hiccup with a bad load of caches into the GPSr but thankfully had all available on the phone.

Love the history that is shared with us here through Geocaching yet again.

TFTC froghoppin

We have been travelling around this great country, calling into see many different places,
now is a quick chance on the computer to catch up with logs and to put some smileys on the map for where we have been.
Thanks to all the COs for some great finds.
TFTC

Ok

If only these guns could talk and tell us the history.
It's great to be able to travel and see so many quaint little country towns.
As we meander down towards GeoVenture 2020 (in 2021), Millicent, we stopped to put a smiley here.
It's wonderful to explore SA through the eyes of a Geocacher,
especially when it takes us to such interesting places.
We found your cache and with signing duties done and dusted,
we replace the cache as found.
Thanks for sharing this interesting location.

Found by Cache in the Hat TFTC

Tftc. Not quite a micro but a nice find.

Neat hide. Carefully and stealthily extracted, signed and replaced. TFTC

Great

Found by a muggle friend I’ve met today.
Heading to Burra Burra, the long way, for the weekend, grabbing a few caches and spending some time with friends.
