CCS - Stinging Nettle Cave Burrungule, South Australia, Australia
By Davidwazza on 26-May-19. Waypoint GC88F95

Unfortunately, as I'm no longer nearby, I'll have to archive this cache. The string of DNFs seems to suggest that this cache has gone missing, so thanks and appreciate those who have visited and found this cache during its short life.

Looked under all the rocks no where to be found

Southern Autumn adventure Day 11. Post Mega South East SA trip Day 5. Today was the last day with our team all together Fitzy_1965, Albida33, MinnieK, Sole de Lune & Smitten Granny and logs were signed as FAMSS or similar. We went to the south of Millicent to target some high D/T caches and some interesting clusters of caches on forests. After a wet few days, the weather was much better and we had a great time. We ended the day with a meal together in one of the Millicent Hotels and a cache just outside the door of the pub.

We did a few caches near caves, but this one escaped us today.

Thanks.
Albida

After the Rutherglen mega, fitzy_1965, albida33, minniek, Smittengranny and myself headed to the Mount Gambier / Millicent region to tackle some of the caches from the Millicent mega that we couldn't get to.

No joy here unfortunately, so it's a DNF for us...

Too tricky for me today

No luck after lots of looking

Get dirty

nope

Tftc

Great area around here, loved it

??

TFTC, took some hunting to find, beware spider webs

A quick attempt at looking but with the weather being in the low 30's we decided to not crawl throughout the area. Might come back again in wintertime.

Been here a few times, never even looked.
TFTC

Good find

Nice

Log book needs replacing as nearly out of pages

The great Geoventure 2020 tour....take 2...which is of course now in 2021 Once again it myself and AnyMules doing things that not many sane people would attempt. [:o)]

Day 10: Woo Hoo another sunny day so it was off into the forests following the unfound boxes. Some rather fantastic locations hidden away in them there forests
* If anything was particularly interesting then there will be a comment

Here.. This took way longer than it should have.

otherwise we found all the caches we looked for and they were in good condition.

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 from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks Davidwazza for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Took some excavation but we got it.

Thanks for the cache Davidwazza.

Find #14456.

Easy find

I searched and searched for this in the past and was looking at the nearby multi so thought I’d have another go and was quite surprised to find the cache out in the open. I hid it a little better.

Out on a just about perfect day for caching. Heading to the Tantanoola forest to find some of the newer caches which have gone down since we were here last. Also picking up a few odd ones on the way. TFTC
Found out in the open

Easy find - such interesting features in the Southeast! TFTC

Easy find, great lot of geocaches here.

Found it

We had a mixed bag today while caching with ilook4geo. We did find all that we looked for, but the caching activity was slowed down quite a lot by the rain that happened. It was an interesting time which involved cave exploring as well as plenty of walking through wet bush.
Thanks go to Davidwazza for placing this cache which was fun to find.

On the hunt today with goingplaces2 and enjoyed all the caches we found. There was a good variety of hides and containers. All logs were signed and each was returned to its proper place. TFTC.

Luckily no stinging nettles encountered here and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

If you are into herbal tea making, this would be your dream come true. We managed to avoid the stings.

Thanks to Davidwazza and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

good way to destress today, TFTC

Easy find just lots of spider webs

Thanks

A quick find, it's amazing how these diving holes are scattered around the area. It was really interesting to look at the nearby information map near Pines Cave to see how the cave system looks under our feet. Thankyou for sharing these amazing natural waterways and cave systems with us. TFTC.

Another nice easy find. TFTC.

Cute little spot. Very tempted to see what was inside the door

Decided to pop down to Mt Gambier for some urgent computer shopping. Couldn't help ourselves had to tackle a few CBD caches being a Sunday and then a few to/fro caches. Bit of drizzle around and surprised at how many muggles were out and about in the Pine Plantations.

Good spot

Nice little find

We had a delightful sunny day caching with Nicko57....in separate cars to ensure social distancing.

After completing the Honan Mint series we then headed south to the Mount to attempt a few more.

After those we were lead to this group of amazing caves by Nicko57 who had found them all previously.

Many thanks for the hide Davidwazza

Found it, fairly easy

Couldn't find it

No luck for me today.

Such a cool sink hole cave!! Amazing!!

Catching up on logging

Thank you for keeping the game alive

We were down in the SE for the weekend. Hiding caches and finding caches. Freddo PhoenixFlare and I were keen to get some from the CCS series. As it happened at the second one we ran into the CO who was just getting ready to go diving with his group. A lot of them and a huge amount of gear. And a map which showed where they were going. I suspect the map and the reality can be quite different if you inadvertently disturb there bottom silt. Clearly the group were taking it all very seriously.
This was the four of the CCS caches we found today. That has to be one of the most amazing trees I have ever seen. Very very cool. AT GZ we met some more cave divers although they were not diving today. But they were keen to chat. And both of them had their stories where it all went very wrong and they only just got out. Scary stuff.
TFTC and stay safe Davidwazza

We were on a CCS mission this morning. Some cave divers were touring they old haunts and told us the extensive history of the location. Strange that Pines and Stinging are so close and not connected.

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 sees South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Check out the event page and our website. We would love to see you at this four day event. Sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find including two classic art work trails.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Got it

Quick find TFTC

Out and about with daughter and grandkids. Good arvo for a drive and caching. TFTC SL

Took a little while to locate, thanks for showing us the cave TFTC

Quick find......interesting cave entrancesCheers & tftc

After visiting Pines Cave before I went for this one as it is closeby anyway. Was a quick found so checked out nearby Neds Cave. Greetings to the owner.
TFTC, Jassi

Oh now we see the restrictions, good idea needing a key.
With all these caves this should be a tourist drive and the caves used as a tourist attraction. Much more interesting than the tourist drive of the wind farm.
David you need to be working for South East Tourism haha, you are doing a better job than the government bodies looking after tourism.
Ooh let's see... there could be an annual festival - "singing in the sinkhole" or maybe " Candlelight dinners in the caverns", obviously none of these would be underwater, just at the sites would be good. Then again if the caves became too popular the government would charge admission, probably best we keep it between ourselves and a few million geocachers and divers.
Thanks Davidwazza for the cache, that's us done in this area today.

Another interesting sinkhole, cache was easily located and is all good

Today I headed from Mt gambier back home to Adelaide, with hosting 2 events along the way it made for a good reason to cache along the way.

A lovely afternoon of caching with hevwalker and PrincessAria. TFTC!

Never knew this was here, must not have seen it on previous travels. Found a cache and happy to add another smiley to my map.
Definitely going to have to wash the car after I finish driving the back roads and forest tracks

TFTC Davidwazza

Found 20/7/19 @ 2:32 pm with Scubacapers.

We wetter just across at Pines diving and saw these caches had popped up. Might as well grab the group of 3 - so we did.

Thanks Davidwazzafor the smiley faces

Easy find tftc

Nice day for an adventure

Checked on the geocache today, and all in good shape!

Another silver behind the dynamic duo and a lot of choices on where to look. TFTC

After driving over from Portland after work I met up with Beaker for 24 hrs of caching fun with the added excitement of bunch of newly published caches as an added bonus. After bundling into Beaker's Land Cruiser we headed out into the darkness with this our first stop. A quick find once the GPS settled.
FTF with Beaker.
Thanks for the cache and the added bonus of the cave map

Combined FTF at night with Bucketeer!!
I think there was a cache based here many years ago...
