Our last day in Loxton area with iluvtrekking so headed out to grab the last finds. Made a quick find here. Thanks for the hide.
Another cache found with richlink as part of our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
This is our last day in the area, so a very low-key day today. Our thanks to all who have placed and maintained caches for our enjoyment.

Today we decided that we would play in the Murray River National Park. What a surprise this turned out to be. We had a great look around the park while we cached. It was a joy to sit by the river and enjoy our morning tea and later our lunch. The day was cooler and the flies were not as bad as other areas we have been in over the last few days. We heard loads of birds and saw plenty as well. There certainly is a huge number of kangaroos in the park spending their time sitting in the shade of the trees. The roads in the first part of the park were in excellent condition but detoriated towards what we are calling the bottom end. Strangely there was not a camper to be seen.

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 16. The next phase of my journey is underway. I am in Loxton. I was with Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny to attempt to finish the On You Bike where-i-go caches. We have managed to solve them all before we arrived. Day 6 in the River land. As we had accomplished the On your Bike caches, the others headed back east to stop at Mildura for the paddle steamer caches, but I am based in Adelaide at the moment, so could not go. I spent the day out and about collecting caches in the region before heading to Lake Bonny and then Berri, finishing the day in Katarapko National park.
This trip to Loxton had been a year coming as I had missed out last year due to other commitments. The group had increased and the target list of caches was much higher. It had been a group effort to deal with all the jigsaw puzzles and then the Reverse Where-i-gos were sorted out with the various online tools. The trip was looking at risk as the COVID situation stretched and stretched, but at least SA kept to its plans to open the borders and we all jumped through the hoops required to get across the border. The weather was looking extreme as the journey approached and it did not disappoint. The daytime temps were from 36-42 over the days of this exercise and it made for some hard work and lots of water usage.
Thanks for the cache Ayden1238

Sir_spectre and I had a quick getaway to the Riverland. We were targetting the less found caches. We found an assortment of caches, and as regular for us manged to replace containers for several and put some fresh logbooks in others. It was a rather hot weather for a weekend of caching but the air conditioned car gave us some relief.
Thanks to Ayden1238 from mogni

quick find. log wet.
Out with the Mogni for a short trip out to the riverland, only 3 days. It was hot first 2 days where 40 degrees and the last day was 33 degrees. Since the rules just changed about covid 19 testing before and after entering vic to no testing, we changed our plans on the way up and decided to go via Murray Sunset National Park. The idea was to find as many caches as we could that haven't been found recently most hadn't been found in 3 months. On day 1 we replaced 10 out of the first 12 caches, all broken container and 1 log book replaced, and by the end of the day had a heaped medium bin liner bag full of broken containers, the hot mallee sun doesn't do the plastic containers any good. Day 2 saw us caching around Loch Luna and lake Bonney which is way easier driving around here in the dry then in the rain like my last visit here. Onlt 1/2 a medium bin liners back of replaced containers today, people must fix the closer to the highway caches more often. On day 3 it was back in to the mallee country and home via Pinnaroo. Getting those " out of the way caches ". Plenty of dirt roads where driven down and many, many back sandy tracks taken. It was good to explore all the country areas and stay off the highway.

Travelling around the area surveying the damage of two storms in 10 days, Mr Frog inspecting total devastation of some crops which is heartbreaking - a year's work, for the farmer, gone!!
On a positive note, we found some smileys which is always great

I had almost all of March away from caching to concentrate on the Garden. 
Now it was back to caching and Anymules had finally solved the X factor on a puzzle that had eluded us for months and suggested we should go and get it before his holidays finished. 
So several TOTTs including two kayaks were loaded and we set off in search of adventure. 
A quick stop for us on the way to where we wanted to be and a very quick find.
Only one of the three goals from last year achieved.
So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

After having been on Katarapka Island this morning with ilook4geo, this cache was picked up on our way back to camp. It was a nice easy find and two more names were noted on the log.
All was put back where it had been found before we moved on. Thanks go to Ayden1238 for adding this cache to the game.

#1384I had come out previously with ww2_nut and had no luck. Today it was a quick find and no dogs barking like last time making this time a much better experience! TFTC
I'll claim second place on the podium. I have replaced the blank piece of paper with a logsheet from Geocaching. Com so that muggles may have second thoughts if they find it. I have placed it in a more secure location away from curios eyes as this is obviously a busy location, same tree just at ground level. Tftc and the good work your doing.
Had a bit of a look around but GZ had us in the middle of the intersection. All the dogs were going berserk so eventually we decided to leave before an owner popped out to investigate the cause of all the noise on this early Sunday morning. Might pop back another time.

Fairy penguins and I had a reasonable look, but then felt we were attracting attention, so we decided to leave it for today and come back again for another look some other time.
