Called into Red Bluff Campground for the night after completing some of the Border Track with muggle friends. Great view from the top, finally got some phone reception and voil, fantastic, there is 3 caches here. Thanks Beakers Bunch for this adventure. Tftc
Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".
So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.
**Thanks to -Beaker- for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Found by Rebel Acts in the company of the Crew
A four day weekend gave us the opportunity to catch up with the rest of the Crew and head to South Australia to do the Border track and caches in the Big Dessert area, lots of laughs and good times were had over the weekend. There were plenty of good quality caches to be found along the way.
Today we did the border track led by our tour guide tackle_head.
This is one of the caches found today.

Well we finally made it to the Border Track and after much discussion and with some late minute planning we managed to assemble some sort of 4wd geocaching party and headed out this morning from an overnighter at Murrayville via Pinnaroo and headed Southwards. The crew consisted of tackle head, The Empire, omegaman1971, Snap Happy and Rebel Acts and we enjoyed plenty of laughs and banter as we made our way along the track and with the recent rains the track was firm along the most of the way with a few low clay areas being a little too wet but still passable with a little skill-full driving, some back seat navigation and throw in plenty of cursing and laughs and overall it was a great chance to come and explore this beaut part of the world. Managed to grab a couple of caches while we were at Red Bluff and the the walk/scramble to gz was worth the effort with the stunning views over the area, many thanks Beaker's Bunch for the cache and for giving us a reason to venture out this way.
Out in the area with the Crew for some caching fun and to tackle the border track for a few days.
We don’t often get together these days but when we do, we certainly have fun and many laughs.
This is one trip that I will never forget and would definitely recommend it if you are a 4WD enthusiast. Just be prepared for the hrs of bumps.
This location was one of my favourites for the trip, wish I could reward more than one favourite point for this great Vic cache.
Thank you for your cache and the opportunity to find it

Our second day touring with 'The Crew', this time we were tackling the Border Track. Led by the enigmatic tackle_head in his trusty Landcruiser, we bumped and thrashed our way down the track, all the way to Red Bluff. What a view! A bit sketchy coming down, but not too bad on the way up. Favourite point added. Thanks for the cache Beaker's Bunch.

Found after a nice long weekend driving the border track. Spent the night in the campsite below and climbed up here before leaving. You would think if they went to the effort of trucking in all that nice sand for the path they could have ordered some gravel.
Thanks for the cache all in good condition

Found on 9 June 2019 at 10:05:52 am. Find #2747. Off on an exciting weekend 4x4 adventuring with TeamSmokeyBear and finding some awesome caches along the way . Loved this whole area and loved the territory.
Awesome views on rocky outcrops.
Thanks for the adventure.

Here for the FTF across the hill, we grabbed these ones also.
Off on yet another adventure with Ms_enchantress and her family, heading out to do the Silo Art trail then across to Border Town, up to Pinaroo to do that section of the Border Track back down to border town and then home to the beautiful green rolling hills of South Gippsland (a stark contrast at the moment to this brown barren landscape!)
We had a good time seeing hte sights and 4 x 4 ing.
Sorry for the copy and paste generic log, we had good intentions to write interesting ones but time has gotten away from us, thanks to all the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches.

On a geocaching road trip from Brisbane to the Mega in Queanbeyan via a little detour through South Australia and Victoria. The purpose of the detour was to attend the Border and Red Bluff events and try the Border Track in between. I had been along the northern section of the border a few years ago in the X-trail without any trouble and thought it would be able to do this section as well. Unfortunately not, as it is completely different country down here and I found this out at the first sandhill and withdrew. I did get in via the Shaugh Track to join the others for the second event and camp overnight.
As I have my bed set up in the car there wasn't anything to do in the morning except make a cuppa and do a few checks of the car and add some more cable ties to its collection. While the others were packing up I went to find the two caches here. I'm not great with heights but the climb up wasn't too bad and I shoved the thoughts of how to get down again outta my head until I needed to return. Had a bit of a hunt around until I found it and got my name on the log and rehid it. Took some photos of the view and then made my way down to rejoin the others without any drama at all.

After touring the Big and Little desert’s during the week I was looking forward to these 2 events as I had already done the top and bottom parts of the track so it was time to drive the fun stuff.
After camping out under the stars the night before, another night was spent again under the stars after completing the Border Track yesterdayand the great event last night.
Woke up to a very chilly morning after feeling the cold last night and decided to catch the sun rise from up here as everybody else had done this one yesterday.
It was great view of the surrounding area from up here
Thanks The_Tritonz for organising this great event and for letting me tag along.

An extended weekend with the main destination of the 4WD border track between South Australia and Victoria. Friday consisted of an early start from Adelaide to Ngarkat Conservation Park, and along the way, a few small detours and the Geopets series just outside of Tailem Bend. On Saturday, we tackled our primary purpose of the weekend traveling along the one-way border track, and finally, on Sunday, we left the camp to complete some nearby geocaches and finish the This is SA geoart series near Bordertown, before traveling back home to catch a flight to Brisbane.
Today was the big day 4WD'ing from the start to finish along the border track. We started the day with a few geocaches around the camp, and a walk to the nearby EarthCache, before setting off on our journey. There were many adventures and laughs, and I think my jeep did well in at least attempting many of the dunes and hills. There was a field repair that was conducted, and a few vehicles needed some extra help getting through some soft sand patches. There was even some extra motivation been spoken through the radios by the Supa-team, haha. It was a fantastic group with a mix of Victorians and South Australians, and even a Queenslander who joined us for a section of the track!. The teams consisted of becNmonts, bucketeer, DAB, echocage1, Freddo, Geoturtle37, gridge98, papi 4506, Posums, Malco!, micaparamedic, mogni, Na’wal, sir_spectre, The_Tritonz, and the family team of Csaba!, SupaOrange, and SupaTurtle. There were also a few geocaching teams who joined us at the start and finish events, such as Brad&Janet, and Laighside Legends.
A final cache scramble up to this one, and with several eyes looking, I made the find on behalf of the group. Cache and contents in good shape, thanks Beaker's Bunch. Some nice views from here, and a fun climb also!

Today we drove and bounced, drove and bounced and then drove and got stuck. Supa fun was had. I talked on the radio and toasted marshmallows after dinner. I even saw a satellite on our night bushwalk. Turtle Out

After spending last night at Pine Hut Soak, following light breakfast a large group of cachers assembled and deflated their tyres before heading to the start of the Border Track for a fun filled day.
The Border Track has been on my bucket list for some time and after missing the last Border Track event I made sure I was prepared for today's trip.
After everyone arrived at the campground we set off to find the 2 local caches en mass before the end event.
Just after the sun dipped over the horizon I began my ride back to Pine Hut Soak, reaching the van well after dark.
Thanks for placing & maintaining this cache Beaker

It was time to hit the Big Desert. We had camped the night before and met up with many other caching teams early. We all set off for a day of adventure through the sand tracks.
We had reached the camp ground after a great day on the sand. Other caches were quick off the mark to go and find the caches so a few of us had to catch up. The cache terrain was lower than a few of us thought at only a 4T. There is no way you can get in here without a decent 4WD and then a climb uphill to reach it. And the other cache here is near the car park and it's a 5T? The walk to the cache was a good one, being able to enjoy the late afternoon sun and the great scenery. The hill was crimson all right. Nice views once we reached the top. The cache was found after a bit of a search with many eyes looking for it.

Today was the culmination of our planning, driving the border track !! After spending the previous night under the stars, it was time to hit the track and let the fun begin !!
Well we finally conquered the track and made it to the campground. After a short walk up the hill, we were signing our last find for the day. Time for another event and a bite to eat !! TFTC -Beaker-

A huge weekend of geocaching with sir_spectre. We were targetted a couple of events on the Border Track and I had a ball. Still feeling shaken more than stirred but highly recommend coming out to do the track with a great group of people. Of course on the way there and the way back managed to grab a few others too.
By the time I got here I was a little tired and got close to GZ but not to the top, luckily for me I know the owner and at the timing of placing this cache I was a member of Beakers Bunch, the the last member was more than happy for me to log a find on a cache I had a strong connections too.

We woke up very early to dive into the desert. We drove for many hours and found lots of caches with new faces from Victoria and South Australia. Tra La Laaa
The day started very early. Supa Orange, SupaTurtle and I met Malco! and Freddo at the Toll Gate Supa early. After a few hours of driving in the dark and a quickish detour I was at my first Caching Event. Day one consisted of soooooooooooo much 4WD fun. It was great to have so much support from the Victoria and South Australian Caches. The Supa's and I had such a great day on the sand and at camp. Thanks
Last find for the day.
The Border Event 2019 Mob scaled the hill and found a cache and a fantastic view as well.

found with the attendees of the Welcome to the Border 2019 event. We have started down the border track and much fun was had by all. Some of us got to use our recovery gear getting ourselves out, others got pulled out. We have made it to red bluff camp ground. We climbed the hill and made a quick find. nice views.
After a long days driving, it was nice to stretch my legs climbing for this cache. Stunning views from here! Thanks so much for placing this cache Beaker's Bunch
Made our way up here in force just before the event. Awesome view over the area and great to be able to get some reception to check the footy.
A massive multi day trip to the border of south Australia and Victoria. The trip consisted of 3 days. 1st day was from Adelaide to the border. Day 2 a drive along the border track and day 3 red bluff to Adelaide via border town.
Day 1: a trip with David Wazza to complete the geo pets series as well as some other caches around Tailem Bend before meeting up with brad & Janet at Tailem Bend and heading to Ngarkat national park for some 4wd and the caches around the area. After finding the first cache an individual decided that we would go down a track that was the quick way, actually a detour if about an hour or so extra. Sometimes it’s best not to follow the GPS.
Then collected some unloved then off to the campsite to meet (the tritonz, micaparmedic, becNmonts, posums, freddo, malco, super orange, super turtle, csaba, mogni, sir_spectre, bucketeer, papi 4506, Na’wal, DAB, echocage1 and laighside legends.
Day 2 was from the event .... to red bluff along the border track collect the caches along the way. At the start of the track one caching team had to pull out due to there car not being up for the track, funny to hear the kids on the UHF at the time turn the situation into a funny one. Mica Paramedics car had some issues with not starting as well as the Jeep hitting the reel tracks showing up the Pajeros, prados and land cruisers. Should of bought a Jeep.
Day 3 David Wazza and I left the red bluff camp spot for the this is SA series, a really fast drive whilst we replaced them all for the CO as requested, although most were in tact. We later went to cache near by and got caught by a farmer for quite some time. Still managed to find the cache though.
Thanks to the Tritonz for a great weekend of organisation and the cache owners for their placements.

A weekend trip out to Pinnaroo to tackle the boarder track and surrounding caches had been in the works for a while and this weekend we were finally able to make it happen. It was a pleasant morning as we made our way south from Pinnaroo, the tracks were dry and reasonably clear (though there was a fair bit of chatter over the UHF’s from other track users) as we slowly worked our way through the target cashes. It was a good day for me, picking up a few new D/T combinations that I had not yet found and as the sun was setting as we found the last of our caches, we decided to call it a day.

Found at the end of our trip down the Border Track. We headed directly up the hill to enjoy the view, but took the more well-worn and gentler track back to the campround before heading back north then out to Comet Bore for the night.
Thanks Beaker's Bunch for the cache.

Found in the company of e.gregory1, brisal5, AnyMules, Laighside Legends and Munja during a caching trip along the Border Track, and into Ngarkat Conservation Park and Big Desert. Awesome views from the top but watch for the feral bees about 20 metres NW of GZ. Thanks for the cache Beakers Bunch!
A weekend in the desert doesn't sound all that great does it? But you add some great companions, Anymules, e.grogory, featherwaite, Laighside Legends, Munja and for a while Brad from B&J. [^]Then you mix in, walking, 4WD ing, walking, caching, walking, camping, walking, camp fires, walking, camp yarns, walking, Ngarkat Conservation Park, walking, the Border Track, walking, The Big Desert and walking. What a great weekend. Did I mention the walking [?]
From the Old Fats Memorial we took the direct approach straight up the face, That was fun. After a surprising short search I saw the hide right where the GPS was pointing and soon had the cache in hand. Love it when that happens. [^]] Of course we decided to take the more circuitous route along the track back to the camp.

This was quite an interesting cache. At first I am not sure if it was the mist or the low light but the hill looked like a very large hill and quite some distance away. However the closer we walked it all of a sudden turned into a hill and was indeed not very far away or very big. Be careful where you stick your hand there is a native bee hive near by. Well I think there native i didn't check. With all the normal commercial beehives around it is quite possible they are normal bee's. Well soon enough the container was found tucked away in its neat hidey hole. Dropped a tb to see the aussie outback.
Out and about with 4bait and mark9375 on a road trip from Melbourne exploring the border track. Love the camp spot. TFTC
Spent 2 days on this track in stinking hot 37 degree heat in Autum of all things with Mark9375 and Geojill-11 didn't see another person anywhere along the track and when we got to red bluff it was deserted too . Thanks for bringing us here TFTC
Moving along from our trip with 4bait and Geojill_11,Ouyen, Renmark, and now Pine Hut Soak/Pinnaroo (Bordertown Next!)
After peaceful sleep under the stars at Pine Hut Soak,we decided to get our backsides moving along the border track and get going. This was one of the many caches along the track that we gained. Some tough 4wd sections really pushed the car to the limits! And it sailed through smoothly

29/4/2017 - A cool spot for a cache whilst on the Border Track following this morning's event - we are in the log as the Border Track Group
One of my most favourite days of caching - 4WDing on the border track with the awesome Snap Happy and other cachers.
----------------------
I've had a big, but generally a relaxing couple of weeks away in Victoria from SA.
Ballarat, Border track, Pinnaroo, Bendigo, Wedderburn, Swan Hill, Maryborough, Mt Beckworth and Mt Gambier are just a few of the spots I have visited during my caching trip. There was an emergency room visit, loads of driving, stacks of laughter, amazing food, lots of new learnings (oh my goodness!!), and a wonderful mix of fabulous people.
I am loving this country and getting out and about in it!

A weekend of attending an event and 4WDing in a beautiful bush area: Hell yeah! Bring it on! [^]
Harry and I both attended GC70KAF Welcome to the Border and were amongst some amazingly awesome company for the whole weekend [^]
You could tell the city slickers though..... those who took off home real quick when sleeping at Red Cliffs campsite became a reality
They'll never know what they missed!
Fantastic countryside, magic sand hills and tracks and fantastic weather were the icing on the cache .... ummmm, cake!
12 caches found and the 1 event attended and a massive quality weekend to ensure that the memories last for a long time! [^]
No deceit please I just want fun and relaxation out here in this wonderful bush area [^]
I got to camp the night near this cache with the real outdoors people and we had a blast with the chainsaws competing, the fire burning, Sweet and Sour pineapple for tea and drinks to enjoy [^]
Thanks for leaving a cache for me to find too

Had a great time getting here and sure we will have just as good a time when we have to leave. A number of The Border Track event crew have continued onto this beautiful camping area. The colours of the hills as the sun went down and also when it came back up the next morning were just glorious. We had a small but awesome bunch that spent the night here. Thanks so much for the cache and showing us what we have been missing.
I'd say I had a great time driving in here but I didn't get to drive. Geoturtle37 was having the time of her life on her first ever successful sand driving. Her family had warned me that her last two expeditions ended up in shovels being needed but she was only in a car. She had no such problems in the GeoBeastie. What a stunning place to spend the night with great company. Shame it has to end. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.
Ffffound as part of the Border Track Crew on a fffantastic weekend of fun, friendship and 4WDing.
We had driven the length of the Border Track from Scorpion Springs to here, and many of us stayed here to camp over for the night. What a fantastic location to be in, especially as the sun set over the Bluff.

There's a nice little track that we could have driven up to get to this cache but no, let's increase the terrain rating again by climbing up the escarpment instead! A group of us chose this route, looked so easy on the map and was very happy to get my moniker in a logbook again! Loved the area, am giving it a favorite for the climb and the views just on sunset but the whole day was certainly worthy of a point too.thx for placing a cache here.
After attending the near by event , we set off in convoy with 13 other 4WD's for an awesome adventure down the Border Track picking up all the caches as we went and signing them as The Border Track Crew. Our last 2 caches of the day at Red Bluff , where a group of us decided to camp overnight in this great camping ground, enjoying each others company once more. The views were fantastic from up here [^]
Thanks for the placement here -Beaker- , we certainly understand where the area gets its name from.

3rd cache for the weekend. Found with ferociousflea on a 4WD/caching trip through big desert and surrounding areas. 1100 km and 40 caches in 48 hours! Very cool area and worth the hike!

We took some newbie to 4wding to the Border Track and stayed here for the night. It was very windy but we decided a walk to the top was possible. Nearly got blown off the top! I was surprised that it hasn't been found for such a long time as it is a great place to camp. Tftc. It was found nice and dry and in good condition
This was day 15 of our journey out of Sydney to the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania. We drove across the Red Bluff Track from the Murrayville - Nhill Rd and came to Red Bluff. After a short walk up the hill we found the cache and the co-ordinates were good. No need to worry about the bees it is not too close to them. After reading the online logs and checking the paper log book there seems to be a bit of "armchair caching" going on. Thanks for bringing us here for the great views and TFTC.
Feral bees close to the cache gave us a bit of a thrill. But finally found it.

I can confirm that this cache is still ok and in position with no damage whatsoever.

See previous logs but we had an extensive search for this one but it seems evident from the bushfire damage that it may well be lost. Too, where the cache is supposed to be is in a designated re vegetation area so probably a good idea to shift its location anyway to a more 'caching friendly spot'.
This aside, I'd recommend a visit to Red Bluff, especially arriving from mid afternoon to see the lightplay on the Bluff and to undertake the short walk to the 'summit' to obtain commanding views.
We came here via the Border Track which can be accessed only in a North-South direction and is as rough a 4WD trip as you'll get in these parts. Apart from Red Bluff plenty of designated camp sites along the Border track too.
Happily, at the time of our visit we had the place to ourselves, and enjoyed a delightfully peaceful stay. Though at Peak Seasons I'd reckon it would get very busy. Note, we found no running water (and the Drop Toilet was wrecked by the fire). Also no mobile telephone access either, so bring all your stuff with you folks.

Enjoyed the walk with muggle friends who were interesting in this great hobby/obsession

Why do I always take the hard way. Found with munsoon and opened it up and log way way to wet to sign so took pic to show we did find it
Log was very wet couldn't write in it. Didn't have anything to replace it with sorry
an easy find with thommo77 after nearly skiing down the hill in my thongs. shoes are a must
Good idea, get close up to the rocks and check them out. The box was rather wet, didn't have the time to properly sun dry it.
I like the position of your cache it gives you another angle of the great view I am afraid the log is wet. I normally carry a spare log book but not this time. Thanks for the cache.
Camped at Red Bluff and did the walk up several hills in the area. Great views. TFTC
Enjoyed the walk up here in the late afternoon to find the cache .
Excellent view over the campground, smoke billowing from campfires everywhere [^].
TNLNSL. Logbook and contents are damp [B)]. Replaced cache where it obviously had come from earlier (as described) [8].
Saw a great crimson sunset [^], but it was a really cold place to camp overnight .
Thanks for another one Beaker's Bunch.

I had it all planned out. I would leave Melbourne early to head up to Pinnaroo in SA by myself and collect as many of the caches i could along the Calder. But the weather was against me today. The start of a 5 day Desert 4wd trip with my mates and it rained all the way until we arrived back home yesterday.
So i tried to find this cache at night during a storm that didn't stop for 4 days. In the end i gave up after loosing my thermal cup up there. So i came back the next morning and it was a quick find. The cache was out in the open. I am not sure if others had found it or the last finder didn't replace it properly. So i've now placed it under a rock cairn i made up at GZ. As there are still a lot of bee's in all the under hangs up here. And i wouldn't want anyone putting there hands in there when the bees are pissed off.

Camping at red bluff, with swarms of bees, I decided to wait till after dark to go for a walk up the red bluff, so the view was limited this time to my head lamps range, but at least the bees left us alone.
thanks for putting a cache here. well worth the short walk up.

Climbed to the lookout to watch the sun set. Spiderman87 and I with the rest of the Geo-family decided to do a quick hunt while we waited for the sun set. Great spot.
Bee hive near by but not a problem. Lots of bees at the camp site seeking water.

Nice views and worth the walk although the bees were annoying us , hive in rocks near GZ , TFTC took the opportunity for great photos , with Mickdog
I've had fun hunting for and finding this cache, It never ceases to amaze me how the CO in the first instance comes up with the idea for placing a cache at this location. After signing the log and then replacing the cache, another find becons me. Thanks Beakers Bunch for the cache.
After not finding the cache down the bottom of the hill, I made my way up to the top.
Just as I was nearing GZ, I fell and did some damage to my chest on one of the rocks nearby.
Found the cache and logged then went looking for the view. Wandered down the hill and continued on with the planned activities. Sleep was restless that night and it turns out that I've done something to the cartilage attached to a rib....
Great views and a nice hide. Thanks Beakers Bunch!

Camping with friends and discussing geocaching so the best method is to get them to find one, and they did.

Found after a pleasant walk up the bluff this morning. Thx beakers Bunch for the cache and exercise.
On our way out of the park on the way to an unscheduled detour to Bordertown and the RAA, we stopped in to pick up this cache. The camp ground had a few campers in it, but no one was out walking the trails, so the cache was an easy find. Beautiful views. Thanks for bringing us here Beaker.
While straight-lining (otherwise known as arrow disease) is not always recommended, it was definitely the quickest way down from here! Beautiful views first thing in the morning. TFTC
Definitely a great location with great views from above.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

After a great feed of Bacon, eggs and pancakes we headed off as a group to grab this cache.
Once found and log signed I took the short way down with Enja, straight over the edge of the Bluff.
Great views and a better climb down back to the camp.

After enjoying a nice feed of bacon and eggs it was time to walk it off and grab the cache.
After camping down below we made our way up the hill via the path and took in the views. You can literally see for miles out here.
A great location, and well worth coming to.

Found after enjoying a dinner camp the night before for the moderatley old farts birthday bash, a bit of drizzle and overcast conditions but some stunning scenery TNLN TFTC BB
Found after camping at Red bluff the night before, with 17 caloads of 4WD/ Geocachers. For the Old Farts Bithday/Shindig/CITO. There were some stunning views. TFTC
Found during a break in the rain before we left the Moderately Old Farts Birthday Bash.
I bashed throgh the scrub and scrambled up the slope, but got soaked from the undergrowth.
Stuck to the path on the way back, and warmed up with some bacon and eggs.

A nice walk to the top of the hill with good views. I was in the company of a number of cachers attending Moderately Old Farts Birthday Bash in the park. Took a TB. TFTC.
One of the outstanding caches on a feature-packed trip. Found by AdrianMc and Mr O while birthday-bashing with old and moderately old farts; we managed to get here before the sun set and catch the views befor the rain came later on. TFTC Beaker.
After travelling down the Border Track we had stopped at Red Bluff to camp. A really lovely campground there. Nice walk up to the lookout and a quick detour to retrieve the cache. Once found needed to quickly log and return before cachers from the moderately old farts group descended on us. Magnificent views from up here though. TFTC
