Find #8,999 for me, on 23 Nov 2024 11:26am. The weather was Light Rain 26C 40% 3 m/s . Found with PamJ during our stay in Millicent. We Victorians were barred from attending the Mega during the Covid period, so this is a catchup visit to Millicent and the surrounding area. Absolutely no way to find this from the lawn, you need to follow the geo trail in the garden. Thanks Kellmik for your contribution to the game. *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Found with gmj3191 as we explore the limestone coast. A great way to recycle this type of container. Thanks for the fun.

If the hint is correct, then the cache is not in the right place, as there is no way to get to GZ without walking in the garden!Coords were good however.TNLNSL Thanks

We found it! Thank you

TFTC kellmik quick drive by easy find cache is in great condition off to do some more today while the weather holds up.

Tftc easy find cache was in good condition.

Suscoe was in the South East of S A today.It was great to be in this area again.We found a range of caches today and enjoyed finding them.A bit of sun, a bit of showery weather and lovely green countryside.Thanks to Kellmik for this hide.

Found in garden

Definitely do need to walk into garden, good hide though

A quick find here today cache is all goodThis weekend Courtneyrose_ and I headed to Mount Gambier for Morgo the Geos 500th Parkrun. Today after a CITO in the Mount, Courtneyrose_ and I headed to Port Mc before I dropped here off at the airport. I then made my way around the detoured route to Millicent before a few caches in the dark at Mount BurrThanks for the cache

Well placed to be just out of view of cars and people up the side. Found the cache but I had to have two feet in the garden to do it. TFTC Kellmik.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on. SA caching foray. Staying in Mount Gambier for a week to grab some of the local hides. Its been sixteen years since since we were last here so enjoying the re-visit. Love the country road caching .Thanks for the hideLNCU

We are travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. We are in Beautiful Mt Gambier for a few days, soaking up the amazing things this area has to offer. We especially love the bush, the back roads, and the wild southern seas. TFTC LNCU.

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... You are only as good as your next find.

I couldn't find it. Initially searched "Not walking into the garden" but after reading other logs "walked into the garden" but still couldn't find it. Maybe it was hidden under all the garden mulch. I wasn't going to search through it with my bare hands, so gave up.

Thanks for bringing me here though.

Hunting GZ, we met a friendly little fellow with a tongue that would put Gene Simmons to shame.

Home again, Home again Jiggity Jig.
Now comes the big job of logging all our accomplishments.

Our extra long weekend adventure revolved around catnap777 and I making it to a CITO in Adelaide, caching our way there and back through as many counties new to us as possible. We also targeted challenge caches and anything that would help us qualify for them.
Leaving Tatura early Friday morning, we followed the coast up from Warnambool to stay in Millicent that night, Adelaide on Saturday, and back through the guts to Edenhope Sunday night to be back home for rostered work 3:00pm on Monday.
All up we picked up over 100 very targeted caches including this trad, our first in this county. [^]

TFTC Kellmik. The cache is in good condition, but the clue is no longer relevant and somewhat misleading.

Cache found and log signed with dalerious .

I hope my partner remembers to post his photo of the Blue Tongue Lizard we saw whilst looking for this cache.

Your hint had us looking in the wrong area at first. I wonder if the cache has suffered cache creep.

Thank you kellmik for helping us tick off another county.

The long weekend in Victoria had us planning a trip to Mount Kosciuszko, but there was no available accommodation in Jindabyne, so that plan was thwarted. Our South Australia and Western Victoria trip was then brought forward very quickly, and a plan was hatched that had a complete and varied list of things we were looking to achieve. It was tentative, as the list kept growing exponentially as it tends to do with us .
The map that we created with the caches we were hunting was broad, and a lot of miles were travelled to find them, but we are definitely not complaining.
The country we drove through was spectacular .

We left Tatura early Friday morning, not sure how much we could achieve before heading to Millicent to our booked accommodation, and then onto Adelaide after that.

We still can't believe that we found almost every cache on that extensive list. We even got to attend a CITO in Adelaide. How cool was that.

We had an awesome 4 days away enjoying this beautiful country of ours.

Took a while to find as we assumed the hint was correct but alas it was not , the cache was found 2m into the garden

Mount Gambier staying at the showground Day3
This is a wonderful town that we have visited before, but we are still amazed at what the town has to offer.
Today we travelled around the outskirts of town caching as we explored the area.
Thanks for placing your cache.

We searched really thoroughly and eventually found a mint tin with a log started 26/2/22.
Signed it and replaced it where found.
TFTC

Took a bit of searching but good coordinates took us back to the spot.

This one has caused me grief several times from not being able to locate it to events muggling my chances away. Today I was determined and after reading other logs of easy, first place I looked.... I looked and looked and was about to call another DNF when I spotted something that didn't quite fit the hint and finally managed to get my name in the logbook. Why did that take so long?

Thanks Kell

Saturday the official start of the 2021 Millicent Mega event. today was filled with a few caches before meeting others up for some power trailing then heading out in to the forests for some more caches. The weather today was filled with rain off and on but that didn't stop me and Mogni. I was glad we had the 4x4 instead of Mogni car for the trip.

Day 2 of the Mega weekend. Owl took Bowerbird for a day of caches, conversation, pathtags and general fun. It was somewhat soggy but with plenty of caches to choose from they drove when it was raining and cached when it was not. This was the first of the day and a familiar location as the Hall had hosted a family reunion when there was a different cache there. Owl didn't read the instructions so it took a while to find.

SA Mega weekend with sir_spectre, a huge weekend of catchups and hunting geocaches. At different times over the 5 day weekend we joined up with other teams caching as either the misfits or mystery randoms depending on the numbers of people and who organised.
Unfortunately the weather was very typical of the south east and put many teams off exporing the forests and some great creative caches were only found by a few teams.
For me this was a little bit different than for others as I lived in the south east for 15 years and worked in Penola, Millicent and Mount Gambier. Strangely this also meant I kept running into people I knew each day.
Lots of wildlife seen, wombats, echidnas, snakes, kangaroos and wallabies. Luckily the snakes in particular kept leaving the paths as we were walking.
Thanks to the Mega committee for all of their hardwork organising and the many locals who have placed and maintained caches (this includes me )
Thanks to Kellmik from mogni

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 4: Today was spent traveling about doing a lot of lab caches before ending up at the show grounds for the Welcome to Country event. If anything was else came across our paths during the day you will find some comments

Here.. Quick find once we got the correct side of the fence!

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

Found during the MEGA weekend trip, with earthlight.
Not in the obvious spot that was first looked at and found after a minute or so.

TFTC Kellmik

Found this one today.

Thanks for the cache Kellmik.
Found on 1/10/21 at 11:57.
Find #14064.

Found heading to Mt Gambier with LíB. Cache not in either obvious spots. Almost thought it was rubbish until closer inspection. TFTC

SL at 12:35pm. What a miserable day to cache with DarthVader69 and MuggleMasterKid7. Wet weather gear needed. Gotta fill in time while the car is getting serviced. Such a lovely hall and grounds. Thank goodness for school holidays.
*Cleaned and provided a ziplock bag for the entire cache to keep it protected. TFTC!

Couple more minutes and I would be using this to look for the cache , I was just tired and it was rainy but after a while I did find it ..TNLS

Finally got it on me second visit here. Had fresh eyes with me.

Quick find

But hard

Free afternoon today, time to pick up a few caches I had missed last time. TFTC

Quick drive by on our way home from town. Tftc

Found on a caching weekend in the South East with CPwanderer and clare007.
Despite the hint saying we didn't need to enter the garden, that's where our GPSr wanted us to go. Luckily CP spotted the hide and we didn't need to enter the garden. It looks like others have though.
Great idea for a series.
TFTC Kellmik

Out with CPwanderer & Gizmo's gang.
I followed the gps which ended up in the garden???
But CP hadn't stepped out that far & discovered that aggie was hiding it the whole time.
We soon discovered a pattern, thanks for the cache Kellmik

Easy find with clare007 and Gizmos Gang!!! This was an enjoyable series of caches!!

Found. Easy catch TFTC

Despite a good hunt around, and up and down, we didn't find your cache today.
Nup... not a thing Nil. Nought. Nothing.
Could be cache blindness. Could be we just need some more practice finding them...
Then the muggles arrived. Hundreds. Time out

Thanks for the challenge anyway Kellmik ,
will place on the watch list and return asap or when it's been found or maintained!

Thought we would have another try here since we were passing. Just declared we would give up then MrP spotted it! TFTC

You pwned us n00bs.

We will return.

Look look look - you are only as good as your next find. We will return.

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

No luck here today

After a CITO and only a single find in Millicent I headed back to Mount Gambier for an appointment before travelling back to Millicent and an evening dinner event, I stopped to try my luck here on my way back to the Mount, but failed to find the cache.

Found with hevwalker, TT016, scramping & LittleGoose while out on a day of caching.

Found with hevwalker, TT016, scramping & PrincessAria1 while out on a day of caching on 27/12/2020.

Found with hevwalker and TT016, PrincessAria and LittlegOOsE, we had a bit of a search for this one but eventually found it. I got to use my new pathtag inspired orange ink stamp...so cool. It was a quick find and sign before replacing it and off to find some more 2020 smileys before the new year begins .......can see the 3000 milestone getting closer too....yay!!! TFTC

This afternoon I ventured out with TT016, scramping, PrincessAria1 & LittleG00sE to find some caches so the girls could use their new stamps I got them for Christmas and collect some Adventure Lab caches too...
We had completed 2 Adventure Labs and a few caches...this was the last before calling it a day...we searched for a while before scramping showed us an egg she had found which was right next to the cache...what are the chances...anyway logbook stamped by all and placed back as found...
TFTC Kellmik

A damp arvo for caching with hevwalker, scramping, princessaria, and little g00sE. TFTC!

Didn't find the cache straight away. Had a blue tongue lizard sunning itself about where we wanted to be, didn't want to pressure it too much but it did eventually move out of the way. TFTC

We had a service on the car booked in Mt Gambier and were eating breakfast in Millicent when we saw this new series of caches come through.

We threw our coffees down the sink, left the dishes and headed off to see if we could get a couple of FTF’s before our appt.

Being short of time we didn’t look for too long at this one so quickly abandoned the search and headed for the next one.

Many thanks anyway Kellmik

*FTF* First to Find joint with jesswrigley at 09:16 hr.

This weekend, jesswrigley and I headed to the limestone coast / south-east for some sightseeing, mountain biking, and sinkhole diving. On Friday night, we stayed at Robe, seeing the famous obelisk the following morning. We then drove through Little Dip Conservation Park to Beachport, then Rendelsham, Hatherleigh, and staying in Millicent. On Sunday, we checked out Tantanoola and the Tantanoola Caves, mountain biked through Mount Gambier Forest and Browns Lake area, and finally on Monday, we dived Kilsby Sinkhole before driving back Telford Scrub Conservation Reserve and Penola. A great long weekend of sunny weather.

Today, jesswrigley and I started the day with a Mount Gambier breakfast event, as well as finding a few FTFs. We then experienced scuba diving Kilsby Sinkhole, and then started driving north back home. We stopped off at Telford Scrub Conservation Reserve, mountain biking a few of the replaced caches and those that I didn't find during the last visit. We also stopped off at Penola for that Adventure Lab, as well as a few stops within the Coonawarra area.

We couldn't believe that we had driven right past this location on our way to the breakfast event! I don't have a watch on the south-east region here, so I normally just rely on luck, so perhaps I should setup some notifications. I only realised that a few FTFs had been published at our breakfast, and so once that was completed, we made our way back to this location. I hunted around for a fair bit, and although the hint is correct, it is still hidden in a spot that risks some damage. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, as to be expected having found this one first. Thanks Kellmik for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.
