By crane2 on 27-Oct-19. Waypoint GC8EBCJ

Found while spending a few days near Renmark, hoping to knock off a few of the Wandering Hero and On Your Bike Series while we are here. TFTC, Its great to have so many caches to be able to find

This one took longer than what it should have but found it in the end. TFTC

Found it

A quick find,TFTC

Day three of a short trip to SA with ConnieandRick.Today was grabbing high terrain/difficulty On Your Bike caches closer to Loxton.Lovely blue skies all day, but very windy later in the afternoon.Back in Loxton, we grabbed a few odd caches before our Pizza.A strange reason to place a cache!A quick find though.Thanks, Robmc.

Robmc and I are staying in town to do mostly OYB, but some others too. After our second day out west, we came back a bit early and did some of the ones in Loxton. Thanks for this one, it was a quick find.

I dont think it is there any more

Hard but easy at the same time

We stayed at Berri for a few days R&R and, of course, found some smileysTFTC

TFTC. With JLWE 2024 in Lameroo finished we headed to the Riverland for a couple days of caching before heading home.Happy caching and safe travels!

As we travelled from Mildura to Loxton today, we stopped to look for this cache. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks crane2 for the cache.

A bright sunny day had us packing some lunch and heading for a few caches.
We both got soaked at this first cache we attempted so we headed back to the van to dry out and make ourselves a hot drink while we decide what the rest of the day will bring
Thanks for the hide crane2

Really cool idea for hiding spot

Nice to find and in good condition.

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
Based in Loxton, today we wandered up to Berri and the surrounding area geocaching in freezing conditions along our route. Thanks for your cache crane2.

Out on a drizzly and chilly day with iluvtrekking. Last cache for the day and a quick find. Thanks crane2

About this time in the day Eagle announced it was Mothers' Day and she could find as many caches as she liked. There were plenty he had already driven past so Owl then decided it was on! This was a quick find in the logical place.

??

This was the first geocache I found and it was hidden pretty good by the creator it was an amazing little treasure for me to find.

Thanks

Thanks crane2 for the placement.

Found during a road trip via Wentworth, Menindie Lakes, Wilcannia, Cobar, Bourke and Cunnamulla to Charleville and back over 10 days, camping out at some great spots along the way. Met up with e.gregory1 at Bourke and we spent the next four days caching around Cunnamulla and out to Eulo, Yowah and Charleville, before e.gregory headed up to Townsville and I made my way southwards towards home. I camped out next to the Murray at Merbein Common last night and spent the morning caching around Mildura before heading home on the last day of the trip. Thanks for the cache crane2!

Now that was obvious without being obvious.

First for the day and it's always good to start with a find .
Decided to take a tour of Loxton before heading back home today .

Thanks Crane2.

Hmmm…sadly unable to find this one.

Thanks for the cache crane2.

TFTC. We had headed back into town after a morning caching. As this was our last day in the area we decided to find a few more around town.

This morning we took off by ourselves, we completed the Fishytales and the final 45 On Your Bikes that we were yet to find. It felt good to have thisone ticked off the list now we can more of to something else. Thank you for all the work that has gone into creating this massing piece of art work. SL TFTC

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 15. 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 5 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 finishing caches around Loxton and then heading a little further away from town before hiding under the shady tree at camp for the afternoon.

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 crane2

Day 5: SA/Vic Christmas holiday trip

Last Christmas holidays, fitzy_1965 and I (along with two geo-kids, Death Killer & my_name_jeff_1) headed to SA to visit family whilst we could, and to collect as many counties and caches as possible along the way. We decided even before getting home that we needed to go back. The added incentive of more On You Bike series sealed the deal. Fast forward through 2021 (because who wants to remember that), and here we are again. This time with extra company in the form of Sol de lune, Smittengranny and albida33.

At the start of today, we collected some caches around Loxton before venturing a little further afield for the Around the World series and solved puzzles in the area. This was exhausting in the heat of the day and the dust of the roads, but we made all the finds we went looking for. At the end of the day, we made the decision to pack up a day early and head back across the border to do the Paddle Steamer…..and to air conditioned accommodation instead of continuing to camp in tents!

All caches were signed as FAMSS and were found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned.

The decision was made to joined in the South Australia tour to hit up the On Ya Bike series with fitzy_1965, Minniek, Smittengranny and Albida33 (who had driven up from his Christmas visit to Adelaide). After getting across the SA border with only a stop for one of us to be (re) tested, we headed to our camping area at Loxton and set up camp.

Day 4 on the series trail dawned and once we had finished those On Ya Bike caches in this area we set about cleaning up a few other caches. The OTD August series was the first to be hit as the lure of 31 large caches was too much to ignore. While some of the caches have obviously been replaced, it was good to see the majority are still the original container. Of course, while grabbing that series of caches, we also passed many others that we stopped for, including a few back in Loxton All caches were found without issue, apart from the 41 degree temp we encounted, and all were signed as FAMSS for fitzy_1965, Albida33, Minniek, Smittengranny and Sol de Lune.

Thanks to all the CO’s of the caches in this area and of course thanks for adding to the fun of our 7 adventure/road trip.

After Sol de Lune , Albida33 and I had completed #1 to #100 of the On Your Bike series, we met up again with Minniek and Fitzy_65 to spend the afternoon finding multiple caches in this area including this one. Each cache was signed FAMSS. Thanks to all COs for the placement and maintenance of these caches that contributed to the success of our trip across the state borders during our Christmas New Year break.

26,173. Found with minniek, Sol de Lune, Smittengranny and albida33 during our post Christmas / New Year trip over to South Australia and Victoria to tackle the On Your Bike and Paddle Steamer series among many other caches.

Today we started by finding some caches around Loxton, then went for the Around The World series and some more solved puzzles. All caches were a nice quick find - sometimes using the appropriate TOTT - unless otherwise stated. Signed as FAMSS. This was another long hot day.

When minniek and I were in South Australia in January this year (2021) doing the On Your Bike series of (then) 100 Wherigo caches, we were talking to the CO who mentioned that a whole lot more were soon to be published, and they were - 512 more ! So once back home we set about solving all those new ones which was at least something to do during 'stay at home' orders effecting us. Then once they were all solved we planned a trip over to grab them. Then just to add to the fun the latest 152 were published just in time for us to spend time solving them all so we could get the whole set. With our caching friends Sol de Lune, Smittengranny and albida33 this series was our main aim, but with the 'Around the World in 81 caches' series, various solved puzzles and the Paddle Steamer as standby if we got the time.

We managed some BIG days caching and finished off the On Your Bike series in three days, then attempted the mammoth 'Around the World in 81 caches' series and some lovely high/rare D/T caches - all in searing summer heat peaking at over 40 degrees ! Once they were finally completed we headed over to the Mildura region for another two blistering hot days doing the Paddle Steamer series. After camping for five nights we finally relented and got hotel rooms for the last two nights and worked the air conditioning to the bone.

All in all an amazingly fun time was had, and we have all made room in our calendars for when the next part of the On Your Bike series is published - no pressure ! Highlights included many of the fun tree climbs, the pole caches which increased our skills at the recovery and replacements of those styled caches, and the relaxed times and banter around the camp site at the end of each tiring day - including New Years Eve !

Thanks to all the COs for contributing their caches to our fun times, and I must apologise for the generic logs as we did find well over one thousand caches which now require logging !

Fourth find if the day.TFTC

Out for a days adventure with Mattycat, with the weather being a bit ordinary down south we chose to visit the North east before long we found ourselves in the riverland, a detour for lunch and some caches to finish off, this one was a quick find for us today

A plan was hatched with Rapidlywild to attack some of the caching trails down in VIC/SA. With the boarders slowly staying open we thought Easter might be a safe time to try since the QLD boarder was still too fragile to attempt going to the MEGA and it also looked like it could be rather wet there.
Our team “The Mob” consisted of GoodLook, LíB, Rapidlywild, The Drovers, feathertop and ourselves. This team ended up being very productive and some new friendships were made. Always a bonus in my book. All logs were stamped with “The Mob” to save space and time.
After completing all the trails, we had set out to do and a couple more for good measure it was time for this mob to go its separate ways.

It was now time to head home after doing numerous trails while in the area a great caching adventure. We decided to pick up ones around Loxton before leaving.

Another quick find here.

Thanks for the hide crane2 and for the fun Rapidlywild

For the first time in a long time, it was road trip time. With COVID-19 keeping everyone at home for so long, the borders were finally opening and the feet were itchy for a decent caching trip. Plans were made with FurfacesLL to do a 10 day road trip across to Mildura and Loxton to do a heap of caching and we were excited. Across the 10 days we racked up over 4,300km in driving, multiple hotels/motels, brought home enough red dust to create our own sand pit in the back yard and collected over 1800 finds between us. It was a massive trip and lots of fun was had.

We teamed up with GoodLook, FeatherTop, The Drovers and LiB and signed most logs as "The Mob". There were a few caches which were signed as individual team names as some teams had already completed said caches, those will be noted individually.

Our target caches were the Turtle Series, the Paddle Steamer Series and the On Ya Bike wherigo Series, heaps of other caches were also collected along the way but our primary target caches were completed which made us all very happy and very tired geocachers.

With the Turtle done, the PS Series done, the On Ya Bike done, the TdU & TdF done as well as the Riddlers done, our targeted caches has been accomplished. With the teams now split and it was back to FurfacesLL and myself, we had heaps to choose from. Today was cleaning up around Loxton and making our way over to Mildura for the night, before making our way back towards Wagga tomorrow.

A nice quick find here, now onto the next find for the day.

Thanks for the hides crane2 And thanks FurfacesLL for a trip to remember [^].

Found with GoodLook on the homebound journey.
Time to head home after a week long geo holiday. Travelling with GoodLook to Victoria from SA and back again. We Joined forces with other teams to do the Paddle Steamer Series, Turtle Series, On Your Bike series, TdU and any other caches we had time for.
Many logs were stamped "The Mob" while we cached as a group and at times we stamped individually.

Thanks for placing this cache for us to find while touring around.

TFTC crane2

Found with LíB - this was tricky as it was really tucked under, but Linda eventually put her hands on it for us to sign.

Most of the caches we found during our geo-vacation are stamped as The Mob (consisting of The Drovers, LíB, FurfacesLL, Rapidlywild, feathertop and myself), however a handful contain our own caching names or initials. So pleased we had a group of experienced cachers including tree and ladder climbers, AND a 7.5m ladder AND a 12m telescopic pole! We found every cache in this series.

The various series we tackled during this trip included: The Paddle Steamer, The Turtle, On Your Bike, Around the World, The TdU, The TdF and some Roonka puzzles put out for a June Long Weekend some time ago. Plus many random caches that we passed.

2020 was not a great year, and the beginnings of 2021 have also been tricky - so when it looked like the various borders would be open again (without quarantine restrictions), a trip was spontaneously planned and I was able to pull together a number of my caching friends who hadn't cached together before to form "The Mob".

LíB and I started in SA, drove to Victoria and ended our trip in SA; FurfacesLL and Rapidlywild came from Canberra and The Drovers began their journey from NSW; and then a few days later, feathertop from Victoria, joined us to complete the On Your Bike Series and other caches in SA.

We filled our days with piling in cars, hard core caching, Adventure Labs, crazy funny CB radio chatter, some laughter, some tense moments (OMG some of the ladder and tree climbs on this trip were crazy!), lots of lovely meals and even live music from a band called "Kung Fu Jesus" - nope, that is no joke.

We had hot weather each day (well into 30s), so I am thrilled that I now own a car fridge to keep the drinks icy cold (loving them at about 1 degree celcius).

A sincere thanks to for placing this cache.

We enjoyed caching in this lovely town, and all caches found in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, crane2, for us and others to find.

A nice stop on our journey across the country from Adelaide to Brisbane with Davidwazza! TFTC!

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 travelled around the Murray Riverlands, visiting Loxton, Paringa, and Renmark. We started the day from Berri, travelling south and finding a few miscellaneous geocaches. Once at Loxton, we completed the *Historical Loxton* Adventure Lab, found a few geocaches along the river, and then had lunch in town. We then drove towards Paringa, and took a walk around Murtho and Headings Cliffs. We then proceeded back through Renmark, and finished off our evening with a walk at Wilabalangaloo and completing the Berri *A River Contemplation* Adventure Lab.

This was a quick find in a typical geocache hide location, which was identified as per this geocache's theme (name). The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks crane2 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Good one, thanks. The Munstas
