Time for a Tuesday Trekking for members of the Befuddled Puzzle solving group. Wink Anymules was still on holidays so he chose to head south and target TOTT caches as he doesn't have a pole for tree fishing. [^] Some cache maintenance was also required at Goolwa. In the end, only him and me were available so we started at Kuitpo, and branched out from there. Cool

I came and visited, stamped the log and left a TB. Smile

Day 2 of our holiday in Victor Harbor. Out doing some geocaches while exploring the area with the kids.
This one was high on our list with the hopes of some swaps, and didn’t disappoint! Kids also enjoyed the novelty of the container and log.

Today we headed to the Victor Harbor, Port Elliott and Goolwa areas for a days caching with Astro. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a very well planned and presented cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. The cache earns a favourite from us. Thanks CharismaEmma for the cache.

Today's trip south was set in play, and a 35-degree forecast was not going to stop me. I had rectified several DNFs over yonder way and was marching east inevitably toward Goolwa for some cache maintenance. I don't know if I have found your caches before CharismaEmma, but today proved enlightening. I like your hides and style, very nice.

This one proved no exception, and I was delighted to see the wonderful container. After signing duties were performed, I dropped off one of my Palm Cove destined trackables, one of a pair in a race to return to a tropical paradise. I am very particular at where I drop TBs, and I really liked your cache.

Thank you for the cache CharismaEmma, and the ongoing maintenance. Nice work and a FP4U

Found the cute cache almost a year to the day it was released. Left a Note for Santa. Hope he has been Double Vaxed and had a Booster and he wears a Mask while delivering all his gifts this year. Stay Safe Santa - we need a Jolly Christmas this Year!!!!!!!

After a weeks break in Goolwa, I headed home today and had to stop off and let Santa know I'd been good, so I could be on the nice list. TFTC

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]

Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on Big Grin


We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting Cool

Today I headed to VH and surrounds for a caching day.
Visitors coming to stay unexpectedly meant some frantic housework before I could leave home (they probably didn’t even notice ) so my 8.30 departure became 10.30 but there was a curry in the slow cooker and my house was the cleanest it’s been in weeks!
My goal had been to find 45 caches sadly this ended up being only 27 finds and 4 dnfs. Had a mint day out though the coast was looking beautiful and there was so much bird life to be seen.
Had a lovely cake and coffee in Goolwa and was please with my haul.
Shame you didn’t make this a letterbox cache. Nicely themed cache. TFTC

With today's weather forecast to be pretty good compared to yesterday we decided to head on out. Weather was okay but pretty choppy still out on the water. Surfers loved it! We managed to grab a few caches out and about.

Hey nice work with this cache. Fave point from us. Pity it wasnt a letterbox cache. Wink

With a container like that, perhaps you should have published this one as a Letterbox cache rather than as a traditional

Thanks for the cache CharismaEmma.

22,457. Found with minniek during our Post-Christmas escape to South Australia.

This trip to South Australia was on again off again due to the changing circumstances in the various states we had to travel through. Finally getting a green light from all 3 states we headed off early boxing day. Day 5 of our adventures took us down to Victor Harbour and Granite Island. Enjoyed the walk around the island grabbing all the caches there. After that we went for a drive to grab a few more. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off towards the next one.

Thanks CharismaEmma !! Love the container.

Fitzy_1965 and I headed to Victor Harbor today via Yankalilla to visit my Great Aunt. We ended up with Aunt, Uncle and cousin in tow down to the Harbor.

After saying our goodbyes, we headed back to Adelaide in a round about way to collect some counties (LGAs to you).

What a neat cache idea! Loved it but it is a little exposed where we found it. Only realized as we drove away.
 
Loved this one and worth a favourite point.
Just catching up on a few caches I missed logging and only realised when they came up in GSAK. Found on the way home, heading to the cricket.
Found and in good condition.

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find with two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

I had just been to find a new puzzle cache that had been published overnight as well as this one, so on my way to meet friends at Middleton where we were staying for a couple of days I stopped to find this cache as I was driving past. [^]
Was on the wrong side of the tree to start with and couldn't see anything, but once I looked from the right direction it was easily spotted. Big Grin
A nice Christmassy themed cache, thanks CharismaEmma. Smile

{*FTF*} 6.34pm

Long weekend away with the geo-pup, sitting at the caravan park having some cheese and crackers when I decided to check the mail. A few new ones, a puzzle to look at and one 61km south of our usual abode.

"That must be close to here", Ol says. Sure enough, 1.5km away! Unsuitability dressed, off we went...

A quick drive and a decent size cache in hand, well themed for the festive season.

Fave from us to go with our FTF
