Curio Marrabel, South Australia, Australia
By TheKellyGang on 25-Jan-04. Waypoint GCHJWK

Had a day picking up caches on the way to an overnight stay with my youngest niece & her partner in Nuriootpa. All caches were found in good condition unless mention in log. TFTC

Good hide

Stunning statue, fascinating story - Ive been to the bullride & rodeo multiple times but didnt know the story of curio. I didnt realise when I found it, but this also fills a blank for me on my JASMER. Thanks to TheKellyGang for adopting and keeping this cache in play, it appears to have been recently maintained. TFTC!

Passing through town and thought there would be one here! Quick find, stamped and move on. TFTC

Travelling with iluvtrekking on a SA caching foray. Staying a couple of days in Clare to grab some finds. Thanks Thekellygang

TFTC nasty little hide prickly little suckers glad I can say it was worth it

I decided to take Friday off work to make it a four day weekend. The plan was to explore around Barossa and Clare valleys. Im not much of a wine drinker but there sure are lots of geocaches in these parts. I brought my bike along so I could tackle some of the many caches along bike tracks. A little cool through out the day but the sun was shining which always makes me happy. Yes I am a John Denver Fan. Quick find after taking a quick snap of the statue. Thank you TheKellyGang, for placing Curio for the geocaching community.# # #14886 # #

Found while out and about. Second time lucky. Thank you TheKellyGang for the cache.

A bit tricky to get to but got there

Found it! Got there in the end, the sharp pointy branches didnt help and are quite painful! TFTC!

Spent a while walking around Marrabel and surrounds grabbing 3 caches in the area.As a young child my Dad took us to the Marrabel Rodeo a few times over the years and we actually saw Curio ride and later Son of Curio.Many thanks for the hide TheKellyGang

Nice stop for a hide minus the pricklesTFTC

Whoot, whoot! Take the long way home.

I have fond memories of going to the Marrabel Rodeo in my teenage years. It was the highlight of the year alongside the Kapunda show TFTC TheKellyGangKeep smiling

Tftc

Heading home to Sydney from Wallaroo and trying to get a cache in every town as I go...

Tftc

Have checked and replaced the cache all good to be found .

Could not find this cache.

Heaps of prickles, and lots of debris from recent heavy rains. Searched the area best I could, but only came away with scratches.

Travelling with DennisC52 but didn't find it.

Gave up as it was too bushy and prickly.

Another cache found on our 2022 South Australian Adventure and we have a beautiful day in Clare today, albeit a bit blustery.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA, fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs. Our thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

Cool sculpture Thanks for the hide

TFTC. Today there appears to be a large fire burning to the east, over the range.

Found

Found it TFTC Found in good condition. Yep prickles prickles and more prickles

Found on the way to an event with earthlight on a very warm autumn day.
Cool statue.

TFTC

Thorns and prickles rather nasty, but found it. TYFTC

Another great find. Love the clue - is very fitting!

I'm glad I don't have to get that one again. Prickly situation I got myself into. The ram in the paddock was watching me closely, making sure I didn't trespass on his domain.

Replaced and is ready to go

Crawling and scratches involved but found it! TFTC!

Found after a short search. Thank you for maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Well, that's a prickly situation lol.
Good hide, thabks

Very clever hide

Thought the prickly rose bushes. Wade through the creek, then get down low. That was worth an extra terrain star.

Thanks for the cache TheKellyGang.
Found on 20/11/21 at 15:55.
Find #14889.

A nice little crawl

Powerful

After traipsing around Western Queensland for 4 1/2 weeks then having to head to Northern Territory then SA to try and get back home that way due to border closures.
After escaping from NT to SA I was spending a few days in SA before heading back to lockdown in Victoria.
Staying at Quorn for a couple of nights and after ditching the van in the caravan park it was time to try and find all of the caches around here and also the ones on the way back to Stirling North.
A lot easier to pull over with out a van.
Forget to log these last few caches when I got home so here I go.

Thanks TheKellyGang TFTC.

Yeeeehaaaa!

Full time nomads since 2014. Still tootling around the country trying to avoid Covid hotspots.

Back in SA for harvest work. Spending a few days in Kapunda before heading to York Peninsula. We nearly got washed away yesterday in the yukky weather but today has far more promise so we set off to explore Burra. Even with a stop at the Burra Butcher. Had some hiccup with a bad load of caches into the GPSr but thankfully had all available on the phone.

Love the history that is shared with us here through Geocaching yet again.

TFTC TheKellyGang

While the phone had difficulty pinpointing the cache, one spot seemed likely. After a quick look the cache was in hand. TFTC

Ok

Unable to log on book very wet

It's great to be able to travel and see so many quaint little country towns.
As we meander down towards GeoVenture 2020 (in 2021), Millicent, we stopped to put a smiley here.
It's wonderful to explore SA through the eyes of a Geocacher,
especially when it takes us to such interesting places.

Thanks for sharing this interesting location.

Found but unfortunately,
Unable to log as it’s wet.

Yee haa!Tftc on the way to Mintaro.

Found

looks like a mighty feisty horse...

TFTC, was a bit prickly but we managed

Today we had a caching day with Astro in the area. Great weather and, even more important, great company resulted in a wonderful and productive day. We didn't understand the hint until we got to GZ - then all made sense. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find although the growth in vegetation made retrieval somewhat difficult. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks TheKellyGang for the cache.

First I was crawling about, tripping on wire and nearly tearing my clothes and then some muggles showed up to set up a sales table of some sort, so we ‘high-tailed’ it outta there. Maybe my GPS is out. No luck but lovely day anyway.

TFTC TheKellyGang. Found while doing our first Heysen Trail walk this year

Introducing some little people to geocaching. Great first find for them. Tftc

Day 1
stopped since this is a 2004 cache. quick find.

found with Mogni and Jacknor. We where heading up Carrieton for a couple of days and then on to the Flinders Rangers for 5 days. The plan was to find as many of the church multi's as we could going up and then bright and early the next day head off to the " Bendleby Ranges " 4 x 4 tracks. Then clear the next section of multi's between Carrieton and Rawnsley Station and of course a few stray trads that would help Jacknor's jasper grid. A straight week of over 30 degrees meant less hiking than planned but we still got to the top of Rawnsley Bluff as well as some other smaller hikes. The Rawnsley station 4 x 4 track was completed and by then it was time to decamp and start the drive home. Stopped at orroroo and cleared the town out before going back to the church multi grind. All caches that where found that were brittle or damaged were replaced and extra logs added to those caches that the scroll was full or almost full, except for nano's. Nano's are evil spawn and you can do your own maintanence on them.

Found it, tftc!

In Kapunda for a weekend with the geo-pup. That was a prickly mess to extract

TFTC

McDonnell family found

Found by The Boofs while out on a drive TFTC. Beware the blackberry spikes.

Spending some quality time with a couple of quality friends this weekend...
SnappyTomCats & I went for a Sunday drive, collecting caches around Kapunda, Eudunda & Marrabel...
A great statue...
The cache was well hidden but a bit wet inside though the logbook was dry in its bag...
dried it as best as I could...hopefully all good now...
Thanks for keeping this cache alive TheKellyGang

Found a long time ago. Just realised it wasn’t logged

Today we are on our way from Peterborough to the Barossa Valley and are trying to pick up some caches on the way.

#15: First tried my luck on the wrong object, but from there I saw the box and it was only about the question, how the get through the bushes...

Regards from Switzerland.

Found after looking at the Curio sculpture. Tftc.

Woo Hoo

After visiting my bestie
Loved the Curio

Another cache for the day that was found with goingplaces2. All was good with the container and log. Both names were added, all was replaced as found and we went on our way. TFTC.

We are slowly heading towards home and picking up some more caches each day with ilook4geo. The days are more travel than caching but we manage to collect enough to keep the score ticking over. There were no problems in locating each selected cache, all logs had enough room for more names and all containers were on good order. Thanks go to TheKellyGang for placing this cache.

Found TFTC. Log is a little damp

TFTC

Nice day out with the family geocaching

Found. Thanks

The kids first cache.

Stopped in here at this little town, a nice and quick find.

A nice day out caching around eudunda and the surrounding areas, despite the on and off rain all day majority of the caches were easy enough to get to. Total of 39 finds and 1 DNF.

Thanks for the cache

On the Heysen. Shame the pub is closed

Whilst on my way to Saddleworth to meet a relative that owns a hotel there, this one was my penultimate find before an awesome lunch [^]

The electric location was the 2nd one i inspected lol. The prickly vine was negotiated and the booty was in hand swiftly and the log was signed right on Midday of Sat 20 July 2019.

Took 2 pics of the Horse and Rider aswell
Nice container too

TFTC TheKellyGang

Found as we head home from the 24hr Trial event. Awesome statue! Tftc.

Good find

Found this one while out for a drive with hubby and our dog. I saved it as a draft and onky just found i hadn't posted it. Sorry for the late post.

Quick find once the compass decided to work on my phone. TFTC

Found at 2:06 PM GAFF1.
A one horse town? Well it seems to be it's most important link to some sort of fame in any case!
A very well sculptured horse and rider that is for sure, but it is a bit painful to see how it is mounted [:o)]
The cache was a bit difficult to get to as there is this nasty lawyer vine right in front of the access way - bet that wasn't there 15 years ago
Thanks TheKellyGang

Quick find by Wazza9, signed log and replaced. Thanks to TheKellyGang

TFTC,
Wow, what a story.
Visited trackables and added a favourite.

Sneaky little find! TFTC

We are on our way from Canberra to the Yorke Peninsula and decided to do a little caching along the way as well. All logs signed DTY (dty73/Tankengine/youban). Nice quick find here thanks TKG

On a caching trip with Dty73 & Tankengine to Yorke Peninsula. Team signed as DTY. After a truly yummy Indian lunch at Eudunda we continued on to Marrabel & our next cache stop near Curio. Great sculpture! Have to give a Favourite Point for bringing us here. Kutgw
