This is one of those caches that you understand the name when you get there.The three of us were picking up a few caches on the way home from Orroroo.Mr Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Freddo.
Nice and easy quick find loved the statue it is a really clever and well built piece of art tftc
After camping nearby we made aquick find here. Added some repairs to the lid to help it last a bit longer. Log was dry. Tftc
TFTC Freddo, that's pretty cool. Would probably not have travelled this way without this cache being here.
With a week off we decided to find a few caches. This was a nice quick find.
A short stop here, cache found and is all good.
With a few days off work I decided to head north for a night to the Flinders Ranges, and attempt to find SAs longest unfound traditional cache and Mount Abrupt plus what ever I had time for in the area. A beautiful part of the world up 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.
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 for the cache.
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.

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.
We were amused when we arrived at GZ so a favourite point from us.
Many thanks for the hide Freddo

I managed to get away for a couple of days to try abd build up the numbers for the year. I stayed at Orroroo overnight and made my way around the mid north.
All caches found were in good order unless otherwise noted.

On our travels we stopped to grab a couple of caches this was a nice quick find at an fun sculpture, this hide made us smile, thanks for placing it
Great sculpture. I've driven down this way a few times and never noticed it before. Thanks to geocaching now I have. Tftc Freddo.
Found during a caching trip to SA's mid north staying at Orroroo for two nights and Jamestown for the last night. Thanks for the cache Freddo!
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.

A very clever piece of artwork to inform you how far away it is to Orroroo.
Cache was located, the logbook signed & we were rewarded with a smiley face for our maps.

Headed north with Jack and the lovely Purrfect Di.
Saw some sights. Checked some shops. And found some caches of course, like this one...
It was late. A quick find. Then we followed the fella's advice and ran for Orroroo and our nice cosy B&B
A hokey pokey cache. Put it in and shake it all about 
Thanks to Freddo for placing and maintaining this cache on our northern geo game map

Looking each and every day finding and signing cache logs using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck Plenty of that actually!!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

Please do stay as safe as possible when caching.
Keep a lookout for sand traps, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for any old bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]
Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now everything's opening more - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!
Heaps of appreciation of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting
Thank you for reading all this addition to the log word count!

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.
My running days are long gone. I walked to the hills and did the hokey pokey instead.
You will never guess what I found when I put my left hand in whilst stick man was putting his right foot in. Oh you guessed it...the cache. 
Go figure.
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 Freddo for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

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.
But I felt like I was running from the hills just loved the Flinders and hope to be back soon. TFTC Freddo

Someone here likes welding pipes together. Probably for the sole purpose of hiding geocaches. Love it.
We walked to the hills, what’s the rush? .
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.

Keep smiling

Looking at those hills you would need legs this long to run up them My legs are not built for that!
Thanks to Freddo and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]
Weekend four wheel driving not too far away with geosister H423L and Astro team grabbed some caches in this area before going home
We got out of the car and laughed at this one with the name off the cache that my sister worked out. Brilliant

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.. I literally cant comment on this.....like, why...TFTC
This was found as we wander this great country

Day 30 of my trip north from Adelaide in search of warmer weather and a few caches.
I travelled up the Strzelecki Track then weaved my way around central and western Queensland as far north as Mount Isa. It was getting too warm for me to go any further north, so I crossed into the Northern Territory to Tennant Creek and began to head south. Eventually I ended up at Lamberts Centre and, after having to adjust my plans due to track closures as a result of deep bulldust, I headed to Mount Dare and down the Oodnadatta Track. I was hoping to go home via the northern Flinders Ranges.
However the Track was closed south of William Creek due to flood damage, so I had to detour to Coober Pedy and down the Stuart Highway. The Borefield Track from Roxby Downs to Marree was also closed, but scheduled to be reassessed in the afternoon, so I camped just north of Pimba last night in the hope that it would be re-opened and I could resume my travels as planned.
Unfortunately that was not to be, so I had to continue down the Highway all the way to Port Augusta, before heading north again.
On my way I noticed a cluster of five new unfound caches at Ororroo. It was not much more of a deviation in the scheme of things, so I decided to take the detour.
No trouble spotting where this one was. Do I risk a case of Athlete’s Foot for a *FTF*? Of course I did!
Thanks Freddo for the cache.
