Gourmet Geocaching #6 ... Kiwifruit Monarto, South Australia, Australia
By CPwanderer on 07-Aug-21. Waypoint GC9ETM6

Late Log - big day wandering around the Monarto Woodlands yesterday. So many steps followed by a big sleep.Great creative caches . Nothing like a musical kiwi fruit Thanks CPwanderer for this fun Tftc

TFTC! Did this series out of order. I had to leave some so I can come back out here again!Very cool cache for the 'middle of nowhere'!Unfortunately it was full of water. The log was dry and in a zip lock bag. Did my best to empty water and leave in a position to prevent any more water getting in.

Travelling with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip.We are staying in Murray Bridge for a few days and doing a bit of sightseeing around the area using geocaching as our guide. TFTC CPW.A special thank you must go to CPwanderer who has placed so many quality, hides along kilometres if walking tracks in this area.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Murray Bridge to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches - this is our preferred caching - not suburbs. Thanks CPwanderer

Found it! Another great container from CPWanderer! Fave point here. TFTC!

Signed dsd. Thanks for the cache

Whilst out photographing birds, we said ,,,oh. I wonder how many caches we've walked past today. Got out the phone, opened the app and we were almost standing on this cache. Phone pointed in one direction, but it didn't look right so using some eyes we were able to find the cache. Had a little play with the cache container before placing everything back the way it was. Thanks CP for placing this cache so that we had some fun!

Inside the cache it was wet

The cache is wet inside and will grow mold

Cache dried out...old soggy log removed...water absorbers added

Today we cached in the Monarto Woodlands area. The conditions were ideal - clear sky, no breeze and dry underfoot. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. Unfortunately the cache was full of water and the logbook was very wet - the container had not been closed and the logbook not sealed. We dried things out as much as a brief visit would allow and left a small logbook in its own sealable plastic bag as a temporary replacement. It was a pity to see that all the effort that had gone into this cache had not been respected. The CO might like to check this one in the near future. Thanks CPwanderer for this cache.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Found it!

I spent another enjoyable day roaming around the conservation parks surrounding Monarto.

I started with the Gourmet Geocaching trail, then some of the On Safari series, then some of the Walkies trail and then finally finished the day on the Getnict Park trail.

The mosquitoes were quite ferocious in the Walkies trail, so it was more of a run than a walk around to avoid getting eaten alive.

A very enjoyable morning. Lots of walking and lots of well maintained themed caches.

Thanks for the cache CPwanderer.

Today I needed to find a multi cache and six caches to complete loop 11 for my calendar. [^] I had been saving close to home caches for just such a day. In fact I had even been to CP's event and totally ignored these caches.

There is apparently a track that comes around to here but where is the fun in that. [?] No wheen you can take the direct route and have Mac wrap his lead around trees and duck under branches that you can't! [B)][B)][B)] Somehow we made it and made a quick find. Next.

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 CPwanderer for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

Awesome cache

Mr & Mrs plus geodog Murphy (minus geokids) were able to escape into the caching world for the first time in months!
On the way to this cache, Murphy & I walked Mrs past the location of the recent event. Poked around for a minute or two in the hope that one or two stray lamingtons may have been overlooked in the pack-up.... alas, all we discovered was the small depression Bindi left behind the small bush as she was sheltering from the unpleasant elements on the day of the event.
Today, though, was lovely day for a bushwalk. TFTC CPW.

A day out with Featherwaite.

We went to Charlston and Monarto and picked up any others we came across.

We had a pleasant walk around the park picking up caches as we went.

All up probably took just a little over an hour.

Found with Team Waldron during a visit to Charleston Conservation Park, Kanmantoo and Monarto Woodlands. Thanks for the cache CPwanderer!

Got the munchies for a bit of geocaching today. Has been a while. Good to be out again. Cache and contents are all good-Thanks for the cache CP

Found with hevwalker. Headed off from event with hevwalker and Freddo to find the new caches in the area, I grabbed a couple extras along the way as I hadn't ever been here before....I will return to complete the rest at some stage. During the walk our group grew and then shrunk as we met up with others and then went on our own directions again. Great to catchup with everyone and enjoy the cache hunting. Glad we had wet weather gear on as when it rained it wasn't too inconvenient for us, as we stayed dry and warm. Thanks for the excerise and great caches CP.

After CO's event and having completed some of the caches with other geobuddies, scramping & I set about completing this little group here...
A nice wander around the park even if it was a bit on the damp side...
I do not like kiwifruit so won't be taking any on my adventures...
A quickly located cache...

It was cold and wet but when there is a CP event people come. I walked around in the slush and got wet sox but loved it. I think everybody was cold! Four-fun and I trudged around this local area and found what we could in the allocated time. We bumped into the others more than once. Always fun. Gourmet even.

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

Found It!
The walk to CP's event continues... It's not often that you get to play the cache after finding it!

Owl decided that the thing to do with an event was to team up with another team and find caches. TTrogg was handy, so off they set. Loved your work on this one - it was music to Owl's ears!

I banged out a tune on this bad boy. So pleased no one could hear me. Black cover back on as best I could manage.

Gourmet caching indeed. I usually bring quite a spread of food for a day out caching. Sometimes there is fruit left over, but its almost guaranteed the chocolate biscuits are all consumed. Today I did not bring the biscuits, and it was an 'all fruit' day. Thanks for the cache, another great placement in a great location. Thanks for the cache and ongoing maintenance.

Accompanied Astro today out to Monarto for CP's annual event. Despite a few showers it was a fun day and a very pleasant stroll in the park
This was one of the fun finds along the way [^]
Cheers and TFTC CPwanderer

One of quite a few found while taking a wander in CPwanderland before and after Cps weather challenged Two Cents Worth event.
More impressive "camo"
Thanks to CPwanderer for putting out this cache for all to find.

Thanks for the cache CPwanderer.

Found on the way home from CP"s event, with the geo-pups. That's worthy of a fave!

Although there has been a lot for me to eat here I have also fed a lot of mosquitoes. TFTC

After a drizzly start we headed off to attempt the Gourmet Geocaching series.

A nice walk around the woodlands with just two hares spotted. All caches in great condition and easily found.

Many thanks for another interesting series CPwanderer

Another Monday caching, starting at the woods. A nice walk today. Thanks CP.

After meeting CPW earlier in the day it was off for a wander around this feast of new caches.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. 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.

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.

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.

On the way home these new caches we decided to go for a walk around a loop, great ti find something different compared the earlier day stuff, all the caches were easily found and are all good

Today I headed to Murray bridge with Freddo to complete the two new series: south Australian river and the Australia peaks. Plus a few others in the area before going for a walk near Monarto to find a few of the new series.
All up 128 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

A subtle reminder here that I still haven't done CPW's Ukelele Challenge yet. Soon!

TFTC and series CPwanderer.
