A day trip to the Riverland was planned with earthlight, The X-Trailers and LíB to attend a couple of events, complete some Adventure Labs and find a few caches. [^]
It was a perfect day for caching and we had a great (tiring) time doing a few walks and generally enjoying the company while socialising and finding caches. Cool

We left the lunch event and came here to go for a nice walk to pick up the caches along this track. The flies were a bit annoying, but that didn't stop us. Big Grin The others had previously found this one but they happily came with me so I could turn this one into a smiley. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache Trigger_Fish. Smile

Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I departed Morgan after a hot breakfast, and we proceeded south finding a few targeted *Tour de France* series geocaches, before then crossing the Murray River at Blanchetown. We then proceeded up the eastern Murray River bank passing through Murbko, before crossing once again and driving along the northern bank. We then stopped for a late lunch at Waikerie after making another river crossing (by ferry this time), and then made our way east along the Sturt Highway to Barmera. It was a chance to see a few sights in Barmera and complete the *A Bonney Stroll* Adventure Lab. Finally, we made a dash through Monash topping to see the adventure playground, and then arrived in Berri for the night.

Our final adventure today was a drive and jog in Martins Bend Reserve in Berri. We ended up completing this journey at dusk, and thus returned on foot under torchlight.
I found this to be a great walking track that took you around this reserve, and there were a few ducks in the nearby pond. We stopped to make a reasonably quick find of this cache, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Moneydork for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Found on a trip to the Riverland with FeatherWaite.

It was nice to be able to finally get out and about again for a few days of travelling, camping and caching. We were lucky with the weather, with mostly sunny days, relatively warm temperatures and no rain to speak of.

We targeted specific caches and areas and found a good selection of traditionals, multis, puzzles, letterboxes, a wherigo and an earthcache. Most of the containers and contents were in reasonable condition, although we did have to replace a few.

Surprisingly we didnt come across any many other people on our travels. Perhaps it was just a product of where we went, or maybe people are holding off for the June long weekend.

I enjoyed the early morning walk to the caches around here this morning.

Thanks Trigger_Fish for the cache.

Found on a trip to the Riverland with e.gregory1 that saw us travel to Loxton via the Wandering Heroes series, then to Katarapko, Berri, Cooltong Conservation Park, Renmark, Chowilla and Danggali Regional Reserves, then visiting Barmera and Pooginook Conservation Park and returning via Waikerie and Blanchetown. It was nice to spend a few days camping out in the bush and visiting many scenic locations, staying at great campsites and finding an assortment of targeted caches as well as the satisfaction of clearing up some remote spots on the geocaching map. Thanks for the cache Trigger_Fish!

Sitting at my computer during these Covid lockdowns, I am trying to catch up on a few logs that I haven't sent in yet.

Over the years, geocaching has taken me on many adventures, including interesting destinations all over my home continent of Australia and many overseas as well. It has also introduced me to a diverse group of like-minded caching tragics, many of whom I now call close friends.

Today, I was lucky enough to be out and about searching for caches, something I do on almost a daily basis. This was one cache that was targeted and found.

Sorry for the late log, something I am notorious for. Thank you for adding to the adventure that is geocaching.

Thanks Moneydork for the cache.

Camping in Berri for the Australia Day longweekend, we headed out today to Explore Lovedays 4X4 Park and do a couple of caches with Jalinrenos. After Marty's bend we continued along the track and double backed along the other track to make a quick find. Then headed back to camp for a well earned afternoon Beer! TFTC

Planned a day trip to Barmera to attend an event and were fortunate enough to be offered an overnight stay. More time for caching and socialising and a spot of caching after dinner. No pelicans spotted this evening, might have been a tad dark. Martins Bend is a fab spot to camp too

Got the bikes out to get this one, nice little spot.

After caching in Mildura we headed for south Australia this was easily found along the way.

A trip away with the grandfather (freddo) to the Riverland and Mildura, for the weekend to attend the 3X3 events for the events held in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

Thanks for the cache.

A nice ride on our way home. We carried those bike for a thousand km. Love the cache location.

Just in the riverland overnight.
Seemed like an opportunity to see the stars and do some torchlight caching!
Yours was one of the lucky ones I visited Big Grin
Lovely place for a late night walk. Couldn't see any pelicans at all... even with the big torch!
Left an angry bird piggy trackable, seemed to fit the theme.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Moneydork Cool
