Found on our way past today having a look around the area while camping at Lake Bonney for a couple nights. Took a few minutes as our sat loc was having trouble, but the cache was eventually in hand. Cheers.Find #7323 on 20 Nov 2024.TFTC crane2!

Looked everywhere, but no sight of this one

DNF second time looking for it, mightve washed away

Could not find

Spent ages here checking every logical (and illogical) hiding spot. Checked the hint and checked every location that matched that description. Pretty sure this one has floated away

Found

Don't think it's here any more had a really good look. Cheers cobber.

Today we decided that we would play in the Murray River National Park. What a surprise this turned out to be. We had a great look around the park while we cached. It was a joy to sit by the river and enjoy our morning tea and later our lunch. The day was cooler and the flies were not as bad as other areas we have been in over the last few days. We heard loads of birds and saw plenty as well. There certainly is a huge number of kangaroos in the park spending their time sitting in the shade of the trees. The roads in the first part of the park were in excellent condition but detoriated towards what we are calling the bottom end. Strangely there was not a camper to be seen.

this was an accidental find after not geocaching for a while, but i’m very glad i found it

Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 16. The next phase of my journey is underway. I am in Loxton. I was with Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny to attempt to finish the On You Bike where-i-go caches. We have managed to solve them all before we arrived. Day 6 in the River land. As we had accomplished the On your Bike caches, the others headed back east to stop at Mildura for the paddle steamer caches, but I am based in Adelaide at the moment, so could not go. I spent the day out and about collecting caches in the region before heading to Lake Bonny and then Berri, finishing the day in Katarapko National park.

This trip to Loxton had been a year coming as I had missed out last year due to other commitments. The group had increased and the target list of caches was much higher. It had been a group effort to deal with all the jigsaw puzzles and then the Reverse Where-i-gos were sorted out with the various online tools. The trip was looking at risk as the COVID situation stretched and stretched, but at least SA kept to its plans to open the borders and we all jumped through the hoops required to get across the border. The weather was looking extreme as the journey approached and it did not disappoint. The daytime temps were from 36-42 over the days of this exercise and it made for some hard work and lots of water usage.

Thanks for the cache crane2

Worried it’d be flooded, but found a dry cache a km away from our campsite. TFTC

Great spot

A lovely location TFTC

Loved driving in this park.
Lots of pictures at this spot.
Left a reviewer tag for next cacher

Camping with kids. Beautiful spot. Thanks!

On my way out of Katarapko I went for a drive along some familiar tracks that are now been upgraded to roads!
Stopped here along my way, a great spot to camp!
A quick find.

Thanks

We ended up missing this one and had to turn around. It was still early and we were busy talking and catching up. Another weekend caching with hellyonfire and Tonka. TFTC

Of to an early start with geosister H423L and geodog Tonka
Last weekend caching with my sister before I move to Queensland

A weekend away doing On Your Bike whereigos[?][^] That sounds like a plan![^]
Munja had asked about a year ago to go and finish this series and I'd said yes[^]... but a day never got set! Then erine14 and alysse14 had wanted to come too and they were free this weekend![^]
Life throws spanners at us all though and so it was that I ended up heading out to this series with James0116 in my car SpidermonkeysMum, Aussie M & M and OzGrumpy were in SpidermonkeysMum's car[^] northstar76 and Superman_22 were in northstar76's car[^] Rod81W, Sharyn1981 and Briana the explorer were in, I think, Sharyn's car[^] and Munja was in his dad's car[^]
That was yesterday and my day's tally was 105 cache finds

Today we were down to the diehard geocachers: James0116, Munja, Rod81W, Sharyn1981 and Briana the explorer [^] and my day's tally was[?]......... 7 finds
I'd already done the Around the World series as well as the Wandering Heroes Fishy Tales series so I just watched and laughed at the others finding caches

I also did lead the others astray by telling them about 4 FTFs that had been published this morning [^] so we all drove from Loxton to Berri (where I'd come from half an hour before) to go to Katarapko to get 4 FTFs[^]

Woohoo! Joint *FTF* with James0116, Munja, Rod81W, Sharyn1981 and Briana the explorer [^]

We had a great time in here: seeing wildlife[^], being chatted by a ranger, about Rex, and making him laugh when I said I'd seen his ponytail at the servo in Berri as he got his breakfast, placing caches [?][^][^] and enjoying the vibes in Katarapko[^][^]

Coin visit.

Today was day two of caching in and around the Riverland with Locus Cache, James0116 and a few others. The plan was to originally start with the Fishy Tales geo art before completing a series of multies we had started the previous day. This plan changed however with four new caches published this morning within driving distance of where we were. The pursuit began and before long all four caches (all with blank log books) were quickly found. An enjoyable bunch of new caches in an area I will be sure to come back to.

6 Way joint *FTF* with Briana the explorer,Sharyn1981,Locus cache, Munja and James0116. A fun time driving around the national park and we even left a few caches to be found

Today our plan was to get the Adventure lab in Loxton and a few surroung caches before heading to the Wandering heroes Fishy trail. That plan soon changed once we met Locus cache as she said there is a few FTFs up for grabs so off we went.

A bunch of misfit geocachers decided to tackle the On your bike series and what ever other caches we passed, Today our team changed to the Knackered Rex for the fishy tail series or RSB for any other caches.

Left Adelaide at 4pm and arrived at our accommodation in Loxton where we are staying for 2 nights just after 7pm.
