Out and about for a weekends caching. TFTC

Gotta love a nano! What a peaceful place! TFTC

Found with Bullash on 20 April

Found it! Quickly located the cache, signed as ADL-RAM. A nice peaceful spot I didnt know about. Nobody around today. TFTC!

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Murray Bridge to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Thanks for the find

Found by DMJF TFTC!

Country caching TftCFound the well camouflaged cache but there was no paper inside, so not sure how last cacher signed their find. I tried my best to cut paper down to size to fit in this little cache.

Cache and dash.Thanks for the Traditional Cache team mono

Well after a whirl wind tour of Tasmania to help with 3 challenges that Im working on, I got back in last night packed the car and headed off to SA this morning to attend the Leap Year Mega and to also tick off some LGAs along the way as well.Well after crossing the border yesterday and staying at Millicent last night its now time for more LGAs and head to Wellington for my next stop.Its LGA time as I make my way up north.After touring a few of the back roads between Hwy and the coast road I made it back to the bitumen and Im just about at my destination for the night but there is always time for one.A lovely spot here and there have done a long work as well.Thanks team mono TFTC.

Sherlock to Tailembend. Camped at the Waterfront Caravan ParkToday we found a few caches along the road before checking in.After lunch we toured the area from one ferry on the Murray & return by another caching as we went.Thanks team mono for hiding this cache.

You asked for it, the updated nano rant thanks to James0116 and ChatGPT. Oh, nano caches, you little perplexing creatures! How you manage to frustrate and challenge me at every turn is truly a marvel. I find myself both enamored and exasperated by your minuscule presence in the geocaching world. Your diminutive size may be your claim to fame, but it's also the cause of my never-ending struggle to locate and conquer your hidden domains.Let's delve into the realm of your size, shall we? Nano caches, you're like the David of the geocaching universe, defying all odds with your small stature. But here's the thing: David had a giant to defeat, while you, nano caches, are the giants in disguise. You pack an incredible punch with your infinitesimal dimensions, testing the limits of my observation skills and pushing me to question the very nature of reality. How can something so small be so devilishly difficult to find? It's a perplexing paradox that keeps me coming back for more, even as I grumble in frustration.Ah, and let's not forget about your crafty hiding spots. Nano caches, you're the masters of disguise, the Houdinis of the geocaching world. You can be tucked away in the tiniest crevices, camouflaged amidst the natural environment, or cleverly concealed within everyday objects. I've spent countless hours searching for you, only to realize that you were nestled right under my nose the entire time. It's a testament to your cunning and my occasional lack of perception. But don't worry, nano caches, I'm determined to improve my geocaching detective skills and conquer your hidden lairs once and for all!Now, let's talk about the logbooksor should I say, the almost non-existent log snippets. Nano caches, you're not known for your spacious accommodations. Instead, you offer a mere fragment of paper, a token space for geocachers to leave their mark. It's like trying to squeeze an epic tale into a tweet, a monumental challenge in brevity. But hey, maybe that's the beauty of itforcing us to distill our geocaching experiences into concise snippets, like haikus of adventure.And let's not overlook the fragility of your petite existence. Nano caches, you're delicate creatures, delicate like a delicate thing delicately balanced on a delicate tightrope. Okay, maybe that's a bit too delicate, but you get the idea. Handling you requires the utmost care and precision, as one clumsy moment could result in irreversible damage. It's a dance of finesse, a delicate ballet between geocacher and cache, where even the slightest misstep could shatter the delicate equilibrium.So, dear nano caches, you perplexing enigmas, I both curse and embrace your existence. You challenge my skills, test my determination, and occasionally make me question my sanity. But amidst the frustration, there's an undeniable thrill, a sense of accomplishment when I finally conquer your microscopic challenges. So, here's to you, nano caches, for keeping geocaching interesting, for reminding us that adventure comes in all sizes, and for pushing us to explore the vast and tiny corners of the world.Thank you, team mono, for the cache that sparked this rant. Your nano cache has ignited a flame within me, a desire to conquer the tiny kingdoms and unravel their mysteries. I appreciate the effort you put into creating an experience that simultaneously frustrates and delights. And to all the geocachers out there, whether you love or loathe the nano caches, remember that it's the diversity of caches that keeps our geocaching journeys exciting and unpredictable.

Found this whilst on a weekend away for a camping trip with gridge98, we went to Kingston SE, Robe and Cape Jaffa. Thanks for the cache.

@1540. Staying at Wellington Caravan Park for long weekend. Easy find & cache in good condition. Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache

With some decent weather today, I decided to make the most of it and get out and do some caching; especially with crappy weather still ruining potential caching days. Today the decision was made to head south to Meningie to find some of the caches that had been put out since I was last in the area. It was a decent day where I was able to find the majority of the caches that I was targeting. A nice easy park near ground zero and I made my way to the cache. It did not take long before I had the cache in hand and was signing the log. There was only one spot the cache could be, and finding it was quick and easy despite its size. Bloody nanos, spawn of Satan, burn down the nano factory and persecute anyone who sells nanos.

Find #7969, at 04:43 pm

After a couple of events, a few caches including the furore of a certain cache yesterday in Adelaide ………..I’ve headed South today to add to a paddock I’m slowly creating here

Cache was quickly found, log stamped and returned as found

TFTC

And, now for the compulsory nano rant: "Nanos Bloody Nanos! Infuriating to find, infuriating to sign and infuriating to roll. Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who hides Nanos."

Log us chocker block full, due for replacement

Amazing area. Thanks for bringing us here. Cache was quickly found. TFTC

Log full. Please replace.

Found it

Buzz go the bees

Whoop whoop

We are off on a trip to the Birdsville Races and then across to Queensland - the plan is for about 6 weeks all going well.
Day 1 was Portland to Cockatoo Lake.
Day 2 was Cockatoo Lake to Tailem Bend where we jumped on the bikes and toured around town.
Day 3 we jumped on the bikes and travelled the loop to Wellington. It was a beautiful day, a touch cool and we stopped for hot drinks and a cold beverage at the Welly.

We stopped for second lunch and enjoyed the views, the builders and the pelicans.
Thanks for contribution to our holiday team mono

Tricky

Out for a morning's caching cleaning up a few locations that are a bit of a drive from home.

The log book is full.

TFTC

Some nice lawns in the marina

Magnificent view and location here. Didn't sign the log roll as the geokid with us didn't want to!!!! It's a bit cool and breezy here today, but I can see what an idyllic spot it would be when the weather is better. TFTC

Cute little. Good view of high high River.

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure. What a magic spot this is.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs & wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

Our second day in Tailem bend with BettyBoo3747 and the geodoggies.
A nice day forecasted so we unloaded the deadly treadlies and did the ride on the Murray Coorong Trail down to Wellington and back. Found a few caches on the way.
I haven't seen this area since they did all this development - very flash!
We pulled into the car park and a caravan was just leaving - iluvtrekking. We stopped for a chat and let the geodoggies socialise.
Grabbed the cache after reading the information boards.
Thanks, Robmc.

#20085. Day 15 of our holiday in SA and today Robmc, I and the geodoggies headed out from base at Tailem Bend to ride along the River Bend Heritage Trail to Wellington East before crossing on the Ferry. After a very nice lunch on the terrace at the Pub we rode back through Jervois to the top ferry and across to Tailem Bend. A 37km ride that I would not classify as an easy ride. So much bumping and bouncing on the way down and a head wind on the way back.

We rode around the corner and there was the caravan of iluvtrekking. That was a surprise as we have been following them at various spots all around SA recently. We had a chat for a while before parting ways. Off we went to GZ for a very quick find here. A lovely spot for a picnic at the new shelter and the houses are very impressive along the waterways.

Thanks team mono

Love micros TFTC

Nice find

Very cleverly done ??

Found it..

Thank you

Eyes and satellite a bit off for this one, will come back another time

Came out to pick up pug stuff for yatesy222 and found this one tftc

Went for a drive with M-dolphin to go get pug stuff and thought I would do some tftc

Thanks for the find beautiful day

Small and sneaky I like it cheers

Day 2 of our school holiday road trip! We arrived in Tailem Bend for the night and went to look at the Murray. Ooh a car ferry! Let’s go! And let’s find a few caches and come back in the other ferry! Ha ha. Love caching and where it takes us! Many thanks!

Stopped here for morning tea, so quiet. Great place for launching the kayak.
STL TFTC

Very tricky

Didn't find it, they were doing construction where it was logged so maybe they got rid of it

Sneaky little one

??

Thanks to team mono for showing us this lovely spot. TFTC

Very nice little hide. It was nice to be backhere. Last time in this area they had just opened up the bank, not a house in sight. TFTC

Thankyou

Needed the hint for this as the satellite told a different story! TFTC

Yay. Found it. Many thanks for the smiley. Visiting the area sea eagle loved holidaying in his early years.

Thank you for placing it for us to find. Thank you for contributing to the geo map and maintaining when needed. All the best for the festive season and fingers crossed we can all enjoy 2022. TFTC

We made our way to this cache on the 3/2/34 only to realise that we have been here before so we are logging this cache on the day that we know that we originally signed the log. SL TFTC

This one took a while as we had to wait for a couple of dog walking muggles to move away

TFTC

Great find! TFTC

Found at 10:57 during a fantastic extended weekend away with Shonkylogic and Southern Cross Caching. We had grand plans to complete swathes of powertrails and solved puzzles, but the weather slowed us down a bit. Even so, it was a lot of fun, and we passed my goal - to get my 9000th find

Friday, day 1, had us driving and caching from morning in Adelaide until the 6pm event in Millicent.

Day 2 focussed on the fishing series, wine bottle, and numerous other caches in that vicinity.

Day 3 was our slowest, due to the worse weather, but still a lot of fun.

Day four, after doing SFE series and nearby caches, plus those we passed, I arrived home at about 8pm, after finding my 9000th cache along the way.

Great to catch up with many of the usual faces, some others we hadn't seen for a long time, and a few new faces too.


Thanks for the hides

Apologies for the generic log.

Uni and Medusa, Southern Cross Caching, and I ... shonkylogic spent the October Long Weekend in 2021 attending the Easter 2020 Mega Event at Millicent.

Along the way we stopped to find as many caches as we could - because we somehow convinced our better halves not to accompany us. Or perhaps it was because they really don't like caching as much as us.

We came well equipeed in the Pahero, with not one, not two but THREE TOTTs to help us. Even that wasn't sufficient for all the hides, sometimes you just don't have the right tool for the job.

We enjoyed meeting up with old friends, in these days of Covid is really is very special to be able to hold an event like this.

Thanks team mono for placing and maintaining the cache

Found on our mega madness weekend on a shonky southern unicycle without logic.

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Found it

Found with Redrover09 what a beautiful area TFTC

Nice easy find with Bublyn TFTC

So many caches to find in the area around Murray Bridge but with recent hand surgery it was decided a relatively easy day was the go grabbing just a few local caches on each side of the river between the Bridge and Wellington. A delicious lunch was also enjoyed at the Wellington pub

We have been to Wellington several times over the years but have never had a look around the marina so it was nice to have a squizzy on the way to this cache

Many thanks for the hide team mono

After a disappointing caching morning, I was allowed to stop in Wellington East with Gizmo's Gang and CPwanderer and grab some nearby caches.
The quickest nano I think I've ever found, thanks for the cache and the view team mono

After messaging CO I replaced the cache only after checking thoroughly and it was definitely missing. What a beautiful piece of riverside, I would love to come back and do the canoe trail with my friend hevwalker in our inflatables one day. TFTC and bringing us here and informing us of the canoe trail which I didn't know existed til now.

Looked forever but could not find.

I thought I would have a quick look but alas nothing noticed. The other sign looks to be a better candidate.

Not found by the Aussie branch of Dobie's Pride. The hint... Not very helpful as there is evidence that a sign used to be near the GZ, it no longer is there.

Not sure if still here, couldn't find with the kids.

Headed south today with Jack, Sebastbat, and Purrfect Di. Had a great day.
All under the Team Mattycat stamp today - the others may get around to logging eventually [:o)]
Back in our 4wd had to give it a spin in some sandy tracks too
(Even drove past an event two hours after it had ended without even realising it was on )

Nice launching spot. Must bring kayaks!

Thanks for the cache smiley team mono




Be safe caching. Cover your cough. Sanitise !!!

This weekend, I headed to the limestone coast / south-east for cave diving. On Friday night, I drove via the Coorong rode via Kingston, Beachport, and Millicent to Glencoe. Saturday was spent cave diving near Tantanoola and Engelbrecht Cave in Mount Gambier, and then Sunday after a cave dive, I returned to Adelaide via Mount Gambier, and the wine bottle/glass geoart in Kalangadoo. I was expecting a nice weekend of sunny weather, but instead, there was wind and rain for the most part.

Today, I travelled from Adelaide to Glencoe, and made stops in Meningie, along the Coorong, Kingston, Beachport, and Rendelsham. A really nice sunny evening, and subsequently arrived very late at my destination.

Some really nice picturesque views of the Murray from the boat ramp today. I had seen this cache hide type before, so this didn't take long for me to find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks team mono for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Came here without a canoe. Good thing I didn’t need one.

Thanks for the cache team mono.

Great geocache

Nice peaceful location the trickiest part was getting the log sheet out TFTC

Cool cache. Too small for my fat/shaky fingers so I sent a photo to CO. TFTC

Grabbing a few caches before we leave The Bend.

TFTC

Found during a caching circuit heading out to Kulde Road, back to Tailem Bend, Wellington and Jervois for a mid-afternoon to dusk scenic drive. I can also confirm that the cache is there! Thanks for the cache team mono!

No problems finding the cache (took less than 10 seconds). It is alive and well! Thanks team mono.

Definitely not at location

Couldn't find cache.. .

Do not think it is here might of blown away

I believe this cache has blown away from original location on one of the windy days

I had a very early start to the day with an event in the city then a drive to Meningie to stay with friends for a few days. With all this extra time I had, I stopped for a few caches along the way (as you do). [^]

There have been a few new caches published in Wellington since I was last here so this was a good time to come and find them.

I waited for a boating muggle to leave before heading over to GZ and the cache was soon found and the log signed.

Thanks for the cache team mono.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one of the list

TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Team Mono [^]

Dunno about a great place to holiday
I like my holiday places noice and quiet
So no jetskis, waterski boats, dirt bikes, party campsites, party boats, or high speed hoons near my campsites please [^]
Canoes ... OK !!
They are just open topped kayaks with two people steering in opposite directions [:o)]

TFTC at the end of the road through the 'empty suburb'

Travelling toward the St Arnaud event and finding some geocaches along the way. Nice hide. TFTC team mono.

Sorry
We couldn’t find it

Fun find - we forgot our pen though!

This one is definitely quick. Gorgeous views. Lovely area. Logged as DHC. TFTC

Found It!
One last cache for the day and a quick find. Very quiet here - no one else around today...
TFTC

Quick find. Thanks
