This was a great cache I loved the container it is so well designed and so clever. Tftc
We found this one after a short search. It's a great container. Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Tweety2
Away for the June Long Weekend with TheWhiteDogGang.We based ourselves at Orroroo and travelled far and wide over 4 days. We managed 1,500 kms during our travels.We managed to find some really old caches, one from 2001, and even managed to get all 9 terrain ratings. Not bad for 2 old farts with no coordination.The weather was dry if not cold on occasions.A good way to spend 4 days.Hard not to get this one.TFTC
A LWE away caching w Team WaldronToured the mid north and surroundsSome great caches foundFixed a few as wellTFTC
After camping nearby, we packed up to continue our way north. This was a quick find and a very clever hide. FP added. Tftc
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. Beware the clingy bits. Thanks Tweety
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. We made the find here, thanks Tweety2.
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.
Staying in Orroroo for a few days. After the wind of yesterday this morning was just a stiff breeze but the forecast was for afternoon showers, so we headed out to try and grab a few caches before returning for lunch.
Wow the plants at GZ did not want Mr F to leave! He was covered from head to foot in clingy little bits.

We stayed a couple of nights in Orroroo Cara Park and made this very clever find and sign.
Onsigning the log I saw that Felix11 had been there earlier.
On returning to the park I sought them out and said hello.

Found on a short overnight trip from Adelaide up to Hawker to attend a funeral.
I wasn’t really planning to do too many caches, but I was staying overnight at the pub at Orrorroo and arrived in town a bit early, so took the opportunity to find a few around town.
This was a quick find.
Thanks Tweety2 for the cache.

While staying in Jamestown for a little while we did a caching run to Orroroo.
We spent most of the day wandering around the empty and abandoned Orroroo Reservoir.
Always nice to find a cache container that has required effort to make.
Many thanks for the hide Tweety2….another favourite point on it’s way.

We are on our way to the Rutherglen Mega. Today we leave Peterborough and head for the Flinders Ranges. We stopped in Orroroo for a great coffee at a lovely cafe with a lovely shop next door. The best public toilets I've ever been in!
An easy find here. Thanks for bringing us to a free camping site. I have marked it for future travels.

On our travels we stopped to grab a couple of caches, and this one didn’t disappoint sure a fun hide, thanks for placing it
The shoulders slumped when we discovered one of us was going to have to fight through the bush to reach the only st.....like object in the area. It was worth it when we realised what we had found. Great hide Tweety2. Very clever. The nearby camping area was a good find too. Tftc.
Clever hiding spot love this one, was a fun experience after our 4x4 camping trip this weekend with mates
Found during a caching trip to SA's mid north staying at Orroroo for two nights and Jamestown for the last night. Great hide! Thanks for the cache Tweety2!
Staying here the night so plenty of time work at this one but wasn’t required, easy find
Thanks for the great work in producing this geocache.

We decided to load up the camper and run away from home for a week or two. The rain and a domestic water repair made us change our plans a few times but it didn't detract from the fun. We met quite a few people and learnt a lot from them - we were privileged to be shown a dugout at Coober Pedy and station life at Edeowie. We also found time to find a few caches, but we still have many unfound in the areas visited. Looking forward to returning to the upper north of South Australia one day soon.
Thank you to all those who helped make our trip very enjoyable.

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 5: Exploring some mid north towns.
We were not stumped at all and soon had the cache in hand.
Great camo.
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 Tweety2 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

A good hide. Apart from all the Wattle pollen. I’m going to be regretting that one for days.

Big drive home from Rawnsley Park to Adelaide before the next leg of our holibobs to KI.
Did a bit of a detour as the Moho driver was going a bit more slowly than me. Collected 12 caches and 5 labs before getting back into Moho planning.
Not seen one like this for a while. Quick find through the undergrowth TFTC Martini

This is a feat of engineering. Very deceptive and I checked quite a few things before I realised where the cache was hidden. Great hide.
Nearly had me stumped
After nearly getting blown away yesterday, to thunder, lightning and rain last night, when the sun finally came out it was time to explore.
Spring has sprung and I'm having a long weekend away chilling, caching, camping.
Left either a buzzy or a lovely with the discovered cache.

Day three of a camping trip testing out my new swag. I am slowly making my way up to the Flinders Ranges and taking my time exploring lots of little towns along the way.
After spending the night in Orroroo, I was up early to grab a few caches around the reservoir.
No problems here. Cache and contents are both in good condition.
Well crafted hide. Favourite point.
Thanks for the cache Tweety2.

We had planned to visit Peterborough for the weekend to attend an event and do some caching. and as we had to deliver a heap of Crystal Decanters that we had engraved for the Clare wine show, to them, we figured we are halfway there..might as well carry on, so we organised a day off and are having a "long Weekend' up North! Today we teamed up with hevwalker and Bron. A quick find heretoday! TFTC
This was found as we wander this great country
While having a great day out

Lol, with huge puddles from the impressive rainfall, getting to this one was a challenge but it was done and the equally impressive cache was found. [Have a Fave Point for the effort and craftiness of the hide ]

Today it is 11 yrs since joining geocaching and what an adventure it has been.

Lots of hidden treasure and met some wonderful people.
Located your cache with The X-Trailers as we headed back to Adelaide after few days in mid nth.

Finally managed to get to find this cache, while doing some local maintenance.
Nice easy find, just had to dodge the muggle that was setting up near by.

Awesome cache hide. 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.

Quick find here, I like the work that has gone into it. Cache is all good
Today I started off in Peterborough and caches my way around the back roads in the northern area before finishing of the day with a bit of caching with Davidwazza near Wilmington and his event before making the drive home. A total of 89 caches for the day.

Saw this cache before it was hidden. But today was the day to find it in the wild. A Sunday afternoon meant the campers had gone home meaning an easy approach. I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC & the weekend Tweety2.
*TTF* Third to Find joint with Laighside Legends at 09:38 hr.
This weekend, I joined Laighside Legends on a trip up north, with the main plan to visit the Bendleby Ranges on Saturday, followed by a hike in the Southern Flinders Ranges at Rawnsley Bluff. We managed to escape the rain and poor weather in Adelaide, and we were only affected by minor drizzles and some cold winds on Sunday morning.
Today we headed from Peterborough to Hawker via the Bendleby Ranges. After driving through Yatina and Orroroo, it was then driving the back roads / "Sunday Scenic Drive" through Johnburgh and Belton. The Bendleby Ranges 4WD were tackled, with LL's Hilux being tested going up some of the difficult terrain. We continued on finding a few oldie geocaches, passing through Holowilena and Warcowie, and arriving at Hawker as it just started getting dark. Awesome ruins, interesting lonely grave sights, and a few exploratory shafts/caves were just a few of the day's highlights.
We stopped just outside of Orroroo and had a look around for this cache. The hinted object wasn't obvious to us, until I got in deep, so access was a little annoying from the car; probably unnecessarily so. However, the cache's construction was great, and nice work indeed! I did find the pill bottle with the logbook extraction annoying though, just due to their small inlet. Overall, nicely done though. Thanks Tweety2 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Out with Jack and Sebastbat for a little JLWE fun of our own - as this year's event was thwarted by a virus! Headed, umm, thataway... plenty of little boxes on the map to be sorted out
Along our way we stumbled upon this little fella. A nicely crafted cache, with campers nearby completely oblivious to our caching expoits. Posted a log and took the joint {FTF} smiley
at 1445hrs. Blew a kiss to the virgin log book. [^]Hopefully JLWE will be back on next year and we can see many more of this quality.
Fav from us for a creative hide.

(Though not necessarily vertical distancing!!! )
Caching continues with some serious help from soap, water, and especially alcohol...
Once cacher per 4sqm Space is good. Fresh air is good. Exercise is good.
#washyourhands you don't know where that cache has been!
Gloves are great, but only if you change them between caches!
#washyourhandsagain
Support the regions! Hide a cache in the Barossa
#keepwashingyourhandsagainandagain
[xx(] If you stay "Covidsafe" you may just avoid a whole bunch of other nasty germs too
Hand hygiene and keeping safe distances can reduce your chance of common cold, flu, pneumonia and a whole bunch of other nasties, as well as that corona thing
Ease your restrictions carefully.
Enjoy caching. It's good for your physical and mental health
