Is that a wattle? Katunga Station, South Australia, Australia
By wheres wolly on 30-Aug-21. Waypoint GC9HAQZ

Found by Mary and David at 14:55. Definitely not a wattle. Log is full, so we wrote along the edge of the log. There may have been some cache creep - hint no longer applies. Our thanks to wheres_wolly_sharon.

Continuing our journey east from WA and home to Vic. Had a great weekend at WAGB and now seeing the sights and ticking off LGA's.It's a while before we pick up unvisited LGA's so it's a few stops and tick off some smilies and stretch our legs. Flowers have withered, so I don't know.TFTC TB's visited

HI wolly, this one needs a new paper, did not have any rolls, tftc with jeffner5556

Another good one Wolly. The paper log is full, couldn't replace, didn't have the right "rolls" . Found with Sarge5556 tftc

Great hide thankyou

Found as we travel in the homeward direction. Not sure that the hint is relevant. Found some 4 meters from go but was exactly what we expected to find TFTC

I had parked right in front of it, but it took a while for me to take the eyes off the ground. TFTC

Pulled over for a lunch break and realised there was a cache here that was easily found. Perfect spot to stop when towing a caravanTFTC

Grabbed this cache with the van on tow as we moved from Wudinna to Iron knob.

TFTC wheres wolly

Found on our way past today heading from Cleve to Pt Germein. A nice big spot to pull over while towing and a cache too, beauty. Took a couple of laps up and down to spot the cache, all good here.

Well that turned into a very easy find, because as we arrived there was already a couple of cachers there signing the log. So firstly many thanks to the Bulba’s for sharing the moment and friendly banter, and also to wheres wolly for bringing us here and maintaining this cache. Tftc

Some caches signed as “Team Azzo”

My 3rd day of my trip heading to and around the Eyre Peninsular. Today I left from Iron Knob and arrived at Kyancutta home for the next 3 nights. This cache would be find number 10 of 49 for the day and find Number 52 in total for this trip away.

I looked and looked and looked and was about to give up when I spotted it. That shouldn't have been as hard as I made it.

TFTC wheres_wolly_sharon

Found It!
A quick find here while passing by. Took the muddy way in and then the easy way out.
TFTC

Quick grab while heading up to the JLW Event tftc

Found this one on my way to Kyankutta for the 2023 JLW events then further west to Maralinga. I must have started at the right end of the correct fence panel as it was a quick find.

An easy find, with good co-ords and reliable GPSr to guide you...
Found in literally the first place looked at, in the dark too..

Thanks

Stood out like a bright light once we had found it

Well that was not easy to find! Mini bison hanging there.

Brad and Janet are on another epic journey.
This time it involves many of Len Beadell’s 6500km of roads including the Anne Beadell, the Connie Sur, the Heather, the Neale, the Gun Barrel Highway and more.
And of course a 2 day visit to Maralinga which Len also located, surveyed and largely built as he had with Woomera and Emu. An amazing man.
If you don’t know of him he wrote some wonderful books. Laconic with a dry sense of wit, they are an excellent read. They are also available as audiobooks as is a recording of his brilliant after dinner talk one evening in Shepparton. Worth a listen.

Found the cache in the last place I looked.

Heading east after one mintue of moon shadow. This is one of stops on a long journey.

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.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Wattle make you stop for a break and a cache? Perhaps a well hidden little thing that made us stop longer than intended

Owner maintenance. Re-attached hint to fence!
Happy caching and safe travels!

Another cache hunt on our 2022 South Australian Adventure which is all but over as we begin the long trek home. Thanks for your cache.

Heading over to tackle a few days on Eyre Peninsula with Mattycat and Perfect Di, Day 2 had us exploring Iron Knob to Kimba travelling down the highway towards Kimba it was nice to stop and stretch the legs, the bushes were in full bloom, this one was found after a methodical search
TFTC wheres wolly

Out with the froghoppin couple and with Purrfect Di and Jack to clean some of the colourful little marks from the geomap. Today took us west a bit further, down the highway, and up to a lake and then down some roads that had turned into lakes... a surprising sight indeed that changed our itinerary just a little!

Dunno if it is, but it's yellow like one!

So wheres wolly we thank you for placing and maintaining the cache on our ever growing SA geo-map

Driving around wherever we can - searching, spotting strange items 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 a guyess or plain old dumb luck
Plenty of the luck stuff actually !!!

*All the online logs are composed and published with GSAK of course.*

Danger! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for bugs !!! . [xx(]

Make Travel Bugs the Only bugs you share and pass on (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - cache the countryside


Heaps good of all those placing quality caches out and about around the country areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game fun, and interesting

Much appreciate you reading all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!

Travelling from Perth to Canberra with lots of side tracks.TFTC.
No description, hint or internet so was wondering if I would get this one. I did.

Geowife found this after a bit of a hunt around

TFTC

LOL, that's not one of my relatives. Nice colour though.
Cache and log were good. TFTC wheres wolly.

This was the last cache for the day as Muggle Husband was sick and tired of pulling off the road on the busy highway. He is very patient, but it was windy and there were a lot of trucks and wide loads. Bah. I used the hint to find this cache, as it would have taken me much longer without a pointer.

Not sure what the tree is but found the cache. Good spot. Tftc

We have neared the end of our SA visit and are now heading west back home. Grabbed a few finds along the way to our next stop in Kimba. Thanks where’s wolly

What will it be, just a yellow flowering tree.
Good time to stop and have a stretch and find this cache.

TFTC wheres wolly
Keep smiling

We are travelling homeward bound to Busselton from the Townsville Mega,
how lost can we get?
It’s been just over 4 months since the CacheQld mega and we have only just crossed the SA Border a couple of days ago, that’s still a long way to go to get home to WA
But the fun bit is, finding all these geocaches along the way.
No matter where we park our caravan for the night, it’s always an exciting day to see this great country through the eyes of the local geocachers.
Thanks to all the COs for showing us your favourite spots along the way.

TFTC

Nice place to take a break. Thanks for placing the cache

Found on my way to Gawler Ranges for some volunteering work. Thanks wheres wolly.

Found while visiting Whyalla for a few days with Team Waldron and TeamAstro, with the aim of finding as many caches as possible in Whyalla and surrounds. Day 1 saw us travel up from Adelaide and tour the very scenic coastline around Port Bonython and Point Lowly. On Day 2 we headed out to the Fill In The Gaps" (FITG) series, then to Iron Knob and back via the First To Find Power Trail (FTF PT) series. On Day 3 we cached in and around the City of Whyalla, and on Day 4 we made our way out to Whyalla Conservation Park before heading for home. The plants in question are the broad-leaved form of Senna artemisioides, silver senna or wormwood cassia, a native species widespread throughout inland Australia, with the cache inspiring an ensuing lengthy conversation about botany and the intricacies of plant taxonomy . Thanks for the cache wheres wolly!

Wudinna bakery is a good aim spot from here. Lovely “Senna” near the sign. I’ll let FeatherWaite elaborate! To be honest I thought it was a Casia sp but that’s another story…

A fun find with Team Waldron and FeatherWaite on a trip from Adelaide to Whyalla and “around”.

Thanks wheres wolly and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Quick easy find tftc

Nearing the end of our holiday and on our way to Pt Augusta for the night. We needed a break so stopped here to stretch the legs and find a cache.

Thanks for the cache wheres wolly.

The coords put me well inside the fence so I used a bit of nonce and looked more closely to what was there The cache soon popped into view.

Just a quick stop to stretch the legs as I head NE after 7 lovely weeks as a west coaster

Found with JJ52 on our Camping trip
TFTC just the quick break we needed

Easy pull over with van in tow and a quick find

Out for a drive to collect a few smiley faces to finish of our 'reach the peak' challenge. Plenty of trucks in the parking bay today but approached from the right side to stay hidden, we I hope we were hidden. TFTC

Recent storms and flooding this way (and a new geocrusier we wanted to give a run) has prompted a maintenance run.

All caches in good order (or replaced as required)

Happy caching and safe travels

Took a little bit of searching, but came at it from the angle and had our names in the log(which is now replaced). TFTC.

Quick find while out on a day trip to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. TFTC! Replaced log with a suitable logbook for cache type.

Took a while but eventually found it, silver on this one. TFTC

*FTF* @ 0830

The last day of the Perth to Adelaide road trip, Wudinna to Adelaide. I have to return the campervan by 3pm, so not much time for caching today. It’s raining too, great to see on the Eyre Peninsula and mid north, they look like they need it.

Target cache of the day! Noticed that this cache was unfound whilst browsing last night, and it’s perfectly positioned on my planned course for the day.

There was no log in the cache, checked with the CO that I hadn’t found a decoy, and got the necessary confirmation. Added a log of sorts, but it’s a bit B grade, maybe somebody could add a better one if WW doesn’t get there first.

Thanks wheres wolly for a great ending to this road trip.
