Thanks for my first find!

Good cache couldnt find but then dad found it Tftc

A few late logs as they were on my phone in C:Geo found some time ago but omitted to log.All caches were in good condition unless stated otherwise.

Thank you!

Found quickly following our trip from Broken Hill. Thanks for the cache

Well that is a nice change from a nano. Quick grab and stamp. Looks like we are going to Broken Hill! TFTC

Found this cache whilst on our two month adventure throughout central Australia and remote parts of WA.A quick find as we headed out of town.Thanks to all the COs for adding to our adventure. TFTC

We decided to go for a drive for a few days. We enjoyed the scenery, learning about some history and finding cachesTFTC

Found with tassie expat while doing this model series. Thanks for placing it.

After 3 dnfs today, I was grateful for a find. We were amazed by the two designs we saw last year and have come back to see the others and visit the museum (that was so worth it). Log book is full but managed to find a spot to sign. TFTC

Easy

Quite far away but found it

Our #24. TFTC. Clue helped us.

Found after a long search was just about to give up. Logbook is full. Thanks.

Found a week ago when first in town but not much time for caches so just grab as I canTFTC

Found

8 of 10 for the day, TFTC

There were some very dejected guys near GZ loading a dinged car. We wanted to say something, they wanted to say something but in the end nobody said anything.. we all just felt sorry about the obvious. Grabbed the cache when the opportunity arose.. one of the quicker train caches. TFTC froghoppin.

Lots of dire warnings in previous logs here, maybe all the nasty things had been exorcised by previous finders but just as I was about to get a torch and some gloves my eyes got used to the gloom I espised it and was able to write in the very full log. Nice train nearby

We Eclipsed it ??

TFTC definitely be careful before putting your hands into this one. Lots of redbacks, wasps and all sorts of bitey things

OK. So this one can be quite deadly and lead you to hospital. Looked around the area and eventually found the cache. Luckily I didn't stick my hand in there to grab it as there were quite a few redback spiders guarding this one! Used a stick to pull it out to the ground then made sure no spiders were on it. A quick log and back it went after I cleared it with a stick. Not good. TNLN. Cheers.

This was bunadoorian and my 5th find today. We had stopped to take a photo of the Peterborough sign and realised a cache was here. Bonus!! bunadoorian found this first. TFTC and for bringing us here froghoppin.

27 February 2024 bunadoorian a fairly quick search and find after reading the hint. I enjoyed the sculptures. TFTC.

Out caching with my caching buddy, MrsShep77, and our faithful drivers. Thanks for the great hides. Needs new log book.

Another great day of caching with friends!! TFTC

A other clever train model.

TYFC

Had to squeeze my name in somewhere in the middle of an absolutely full log. tftc

Spider web central but easy find with hint!TFTC

TFTC. Very dark, but still found it.

Tftc

From WA doing a geo SA venture. First one for the day. What a great town. Tyftc
Loved this cache as the other train ones but liked the bridge structure as well. Well done.

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. Based in Peterborough, we are exploring some of the surrounding countryside today. Thanks for the nice quick find here.

Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. Thanks for the hide.

Full time Nomads since March 2014.

Having been in Perth to visit family our stay has come to an end and we are on our way to Broken Hill for the Mundi Mundi Bash.

Stopping in Jamestown to catch up with Sylken. This morning we joined with them to attempt a new cache and try to convert some . Bumping into Chrispy was a bonus. We continued along in 3 cars, then 2 cars then it was just us caching our way back to Jamestown.

Fun Sunny day to be out and about.

TFTC froghoppin

Thanks as we leave To return another day Cheers TFTC

Joined FelixII & sylken for a spot of caching in the area.

Have been saving these caches for a rainy day challenge. Just glad it was a warm sunny day.
Nice quick find with multiple sets of eyes.

Come visit SA’s longest running annual event - keep the weekend free - 7th - 10th June 2024 Can’t wait!!

TFTC These train memorials are a fitting welcome to the entrances of the town. Well done to the community of Peterborough.

While staying in Jamestown we enjoyed today caching in Peterborough and Yongala. Peterborough seems to be ‘Nano Central’ and as these types of hides are definitely our nemesis, and not our favourites we weren’t surprised to end up with a few DNF’s….even with comprehensive hints

Hop aboard the Broken Hill Express, thanks froghoppin for this series tftc

On my west. Fantastic town to stop in. Had a great time. Nice quick find. TFTC

Very well camouflaged. TFTC

On our return from Yongala caving along the way out towards Broken Hill stopping to say hello to the pony and then finding the cache thanks from one one-eyed

Found during my one-month adventure in Australia. In the process of logging my finds months later, my goal is to log my 50+ outstanding logs before the end of the year! ??

Quick find on our overnight stay on our way to Broken Hill for Easter. We enjoyed all the caches on the entry points of town. The hints were all spot on. Tftc

Tricky

A quick find with the help of the clue…loved the feel of the train ride inside the carriage…

Took us 5 minutes to find. Which is far too long. Tftc

Took an embarrassingly long time to locate this one Greetings from Perth. Tftc

Staying at Peterborough doing some caches TFTC love this one too

Toot, toot!

Found it!!

TFTC

Quick find after having dinner at the servo.

What a year Sandyofthesea and I have had. We kitted out the Prado and took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April 2022 to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. We started with the Nullabour, Eyre and York Peninsulas, the Riverlands, visited family in Victoria and then back in SA it got cold. Flinders and the Oodnadatta Track was amazing and we finally warmed up in Dalhousie Springs. The Alice beckoned and then a change of plan and we ended up tackling the Tanami Track to the Kimberley and Bungles Bungles. Territory Day in Darwin was unhinged - please try and do it! The Gulf, the coast and the car breaker ‘Old Tele Track’ to the top of Cape York. This is a must but it’s not easy! Eventually made it to Brisbane to get some fixes to the car….. let’s see where we end up.

froghoppin, I found Hop aboard the Broken Hill Express today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Great spot, tftc!

Ewww, spiders & lizards!!!

Love the idea for a town entry sign - says it all - what the town is about. TFTC.

Broken Hill to Peterborough
While towing the caravan we stopped along the highway where it is safe to pull over.
Once we had dropped our caravan at the camping ground we did a tour of this railway town & it's many nanno's. This was a good way to visit the town
Thanks for placing the cache.

On our way through train we stopped to pick up this nice little micro, a nice quick find, thanks for placing this cache

After spending another morning 4WDriving , lunching in town and checking out Steamtown, it was time to catch up on some of the caches that had been put out since our last visit .
Staying in theme after our railway visit, it was great to see the whole set of these entrance way trains today [^].

The Non Wangaratta Event Tour 2021!
Covid has postponed the Mega in Victoria until January but leave had been granted for AnyMules to attend with me and Bushfire. So Anymules and I went on a tour to Eyre Peninsular and mid north South Australia instead whilst Bushfire joined us in spirit only as covid meant he couldn't come here either. Not needing anything for my yearly goals I hoped I didn't add too many to the DNFs [B)]

DAY 4: Grab a few move solved puzzles and head to Terowie.
Another train, another .....hey that cannot possible be the cache. Must be a throw down. [?] Nope plenty of names in the log. We added ours but it was so out of place for Nanoborough.

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

A nice quick and easy park and grab. #NLAMT

Thanks for the cache froghoppin.
