Travelling with iluvtrekking up the WA coast to Darwin, down the Centre and in the Flinders. Basing ourselves in Peterborough for a few days to grab finds in the surrounds. Love these back country hides - our type of cachng. Thanks Bunya

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches as we go. Thanks Bunya for the puzzle and cache.

Full time Nomads since March 2014.

Having been in Perth to visit family our stay has come to an end and we are on our way to Broken Hill for the Mundi Mundi Bash.

Stopping in Jamestown to catch up with Sylken. Luckily we were also able to catch up with Chrispy89 and Honeysucker. [^] Today we headed out between loads of washing to convert as many local caches as possible.

TFTC Bunya

Grabbing a last couple of caches before leaving this lovely area.

Loved this clever puzzle. Many thanks for the hide Bunya

This was an easy enough puzzle to solve today, a quick find was had an is all good

With a few days off back in Adelaide I decided to head to the mid north again after still having some caches to find up this way from my last visit 2 weeks ago, nice to be driving around on the back roads exploring new places and seeing the country side.

Thanks for the cache

My 1st day of my trip heading to and around the Eyre Peninsular. Today was from Home to Applia. I left late so only a few finds today. This cache would be find number 6 of 8 for the day and find Number 6 in total for this trip away.

Solved this one 10+ years ago but only now coming to the area it find it. Great puzzle.

TFTC Bunya

This was my first puzzle solve many, many moons ago so it was good to get out and finally sign the log. An interesting hide and after searching through all the vegetation there's no fleas on us.

Great hide, didn’t expect to find it where we did. TFTC

Absolutely no issues with the solving or finding of this cache. Thank you for keeping this old cache going for so long.

This was a nice quick find as well as a nice quick solve. Thanks for placing this cache and maintaining it for so long.

TFTC nice mystery cache out and about with geo wife LynSteNet

TFTC

Out with geo hubby Animal62 on this sunny Tuesday morning, collecting a few caches & smiley faces for our maps, as we travel these many dirt roads on our journeys. The cache container & logbook are in excellent condition.

Almost 12months since its last find. Always nice to find an unloved cache. This one had a bit more sentimental meaning behind the find, not just because I've had it solved for some 7years and we've finally made it over this way, but Bunya was a Whyalla Geocacher we had the privilege of meeting before his passing.

Bunya was always one for a clever puzzle cache and this one proved to be no different. A great little puzzle that younger ones these days will have now clue on.

TFTP

Day of driving to gather some caches. A chilly, windy morning and this one found quickly. Great to visit this area of the countryside, one I have not visited previously. Tftc

This weekend, jesswrigley and I headed to Melrose for mountain biking the trails with a few non-geocaching friends. We ended up hiking up to Mount Remarkable on Sunday, and on Monday, we returned to home via Booleroo Centre, Jamestown, and Clare. The weekend had some rain drizzle and crisp mornings, but otherwise good weather for fitness.

Today, we had a morning Melrose mountain biking session, before starting to drive back to Adelaide. We had some time to fill, so ended up taking the long route via Booleroo Centre, Hornsdale, and Jamestown, to then arrive at Clare for an afternoon tea/coffee event. It was then an expedited drive via Gawler.

I needed a nudge to help how to solve this puzzle, and the puzzle was just cryptic enough for me not to realise its solving technique. I wonder whether this technology is still utilised? Unfortunately I wasn't able to check these coordinates due to the use of locus.evince, and so hoped that my working was correct (the CO may want to correct this, or simply add Geocaching's inbuilt checker).

We parked, and I spent a good 10 min looking around trying to find this cache. I was actually close to giving up, and so one last attempt at trying to find this one, and eureka, the cache was found very well hidden and camouflaged. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Bunya for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. It was also nice to have found this cache with 414 days [13.6 months / 1.13 years] of unfound love since its last find on 1/09/2019.

Finally cracked this in order to solve GC2F9PJ Puzzle Puzzle. If I’m ever in this corner of the globe, I’ll physically complete the cache!

Found on a short trip up to the Flinders Ranges with Freddo to undertake some cache maintenance and pick up a few other caches.

Got to enjoy the beautiful winter weather we are having, although the country is looking pretty dry in places.

Thanks Bunya for the puzzle and the cache.

Cottoned on to the idea quite quickly but couldn't progress the line of reasoning. Reading through the logs and cache page of the northern hemisphere counterpart and the single letter difference revealed a very satisfying puzzle. Found on our way along the backroads as we headed to the Flinders and beyond for the week. Thanks for the puzzle and cache Bunya!

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Today we are in Jamestown, and spent a couple of hours driving around nearby Mt Lock on an extremely cold and windy day.

Driving along this road from Jamestown, just as we drove over the puzzle icon, we came upon a tractor. BeeP BEEEP TRACTOR, we are coming past.

Thought I would share, even though I have not attempted the puzzle cache.

8629 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1115. After a phone conversation with a previous finder we managed to gain a hint to how the puzzle location could be found. We had left Gladstone and were headed in this direction. At gz the container was found and signed. Tnx Bunya

I remember the road runner from my childhood. I haven't seen that cartoon in many,many years. quick find.
slowly heading in the general direction of home after the June Long Weekend Event - Quorn 2019 with mogni. Any containers found damaged where replaced, and any log books found full or almost full replaced as well.

Camping in Jamestown for the weekend to attend an event and maybe see some airplanes! Heading home today but tidied up a few before we left. Thanks for an easyish puzzle that we could solve (with a little help!) TFTC

So Mogni and I were heading to Jamestown, we did a few puzzles and this was one. CP came with us and we ended up seeing Beep Beep a couple of times as we needed to come back to work out a Multi with a WP nearby this final.
Lots of off roading for us today.
TFTC Bunya

Out for a very long day with Aussie M & M and CPWanderer. We covered many kilometres and managed to find about 40 caches including an event
Thanks to Bunya from mogni

Quickly located with AussieM&M and Mogni!!! Certainly a lot of activity now in this area!! Thanks Bunya for the hide!!

Line any good roadrunner I’ve been Beep! Beeping! past this one for months now. Well I have eventually turned it into a smiley today. TFTC

Catching up on late logs.
Being in James Town to do the Pyro for the Air Show and having a couple of hours off I thought I would try a few caches I did not get last time through.
We had sorted our the puzzle before I left and now all I had to do was to go and find it.
This turned out to be a bit of a drive but well worth it for what was in the area.
The cache was found fairly quickly as there were not a huge about of hiding spots available at GZ, it still was not in the first few places I checked. After adding our name to the log I re hid the container a little better and then headed off to have a look around at what was here.
Many thanks Bunya for a puzzle we could solve and an interesting GZ.

Happened to be in the area so grabbed this one
With no evince, FBAF was the best checker!
Found along with Jack and Sebastbat.
Thanks for the cache Bunya

Found it

Easy find with Loopy1972. Container and log are both in good condition. TFTC.

Checked while nearby after recent DNA. Cache is still in place.

Owl was sure she had the right coordinates, even with the demise of evince. However, despite searching everything in sight, she just couldn't locate the cache today. Did get muggled by a carload of people who mentioned they had friends at the Roonka event, but they weren't much help either!

Its nice to finally get to this one TFTC

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Tried solving this during my last visit to Jamestown but didn't get there. Solved it quickly once back in Adelaide. Grrrr. Into the TBF queue till the right moment. Had to make a trip to the area this week so Planned to make this find as it is just up the road from one of my work locations. Was a bit worried by the DNF though.
This morning I travelled up the road to GZ, parked nearby and started the search. Looked in a couple of likely locations, but nothing. Getting concerned. Looked under the next spot and there was the cache, safe and sound and dry. Extracted the log, signed and replaced. Off to work feeling really satisfied.
Gratias pro cache Bunya

Second DNF for the day, coords right on looked high and low to no avail. Will need to revisit.

Found It!
Nice little puzzle that was pretty straight forward after having found the hints! Then made my way to GZ which is an interesting little place I've never been to before!
TFTC

Found at 10:18 with Sxc, Shonky, twdg and Waldron.
Thanks Bunya

Away for a weekend of caching with WhiteDog, Shonky, Uni, and Southern Cross

We started around Bowmans and finished the second day at Booleroo Centre.

We enjoyed the drive to this one as we got to see the new wind farm being developed.


TFTC

Solved this one many years ago and finally passed this way to grab the cache and log a find. Thanks Bunya

Out for a 2 day Mid-North cache run with Uni & Medusa, Southern Cross Caching, Team Walrdron & shonkylogic.
Hot weather & good fun made for an enjoyable couple of days.
This cache was one of many. Cool spot, great cache
Thanks for bringing us here
Bunya

Found on a New Year's trip up North with The White Dog Gang, Team Waldron, Uni & Medusa and shonkylogic. We had a fantastic time finding a lot of great caches along the way. While the weather was hot the company was great and we had fun times. All in all 150 finds and six DNFs for me over the two days.

TFTC and sorry about the generic log,
Cheers and Happy Hunting
Southern Cross Caching

Good one Bunya. Lots of interesting buildings around here. See the construction of the new wind farm in this area has started.

Heading to the cache.... Gps dies... Oh well just guess where it is..... First spot I looked! TFTC

Solved as part of Puzzle Puzzle (UK) http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2F9PJ_puzzle-puzzle?guid=eb2b161d-2bb3-4922-9be2-dcb5c22c4f73 . Quite fun to eventually get it!

found it.

Solved as part of Puzzle Puzzle in Leeds UK - yet another quirky puzzle, thank you!
(Although it's a bit far for us to come for the smiley )
TFTP

Just solved this as part of "Puzzle Puzzle". I'd've definitely found this much easier 5 years ago!!

Sadly I don't think I'll ever get to find this cache in person, but thank you for the great puzzle.

Solved as park of puzzle puzzle very clever took two of us awhile to crack but with a bit of team work one of us to get the start clue and the other one to have a light bulb moment. So simple but so clever

solved as part of the Leeds Puzzle cache in the UK x pity i will probably never get the chance to sign the log and claim the smiley x

Solved as part of Puzzle Puzzle in the Uk. Took a while and a little help from the Co until i finally had it solved. Thanks for the challenge

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

spent the night in Crystal Brook after attending a friend 50th Birthday at Redhill stayed with Geo daughter then head home to Clare via Jamestown to finally do a few caches and meet a local cacher from Jamestown Saidesmate. So off on this lovely morning to grab a couple caches. We have had this one worked out for sometime it was just when to get the time to go see if we were right with our co ordinates and yes we were Geodad found this one quickly TFTC

After looking and looking at the cache page without a 'light bulb moment', I looked through previous logs and the map and decided that the only method I would find useful was 'brute force'.
We arrived at the GZ that I had decided upon and it was raining and Mr Frog didn't really want to get out.
Luckily I was rewarded in the third place I looked. Now to try again to solve the puzzle ..................
TFTC

called in on my way home from a short trip to Booleroo Center. no GPS no kit.. nothing, just a mental picture on google maps of the cache location.. and after a few seconds of search.. presto, cache in hand.

Sadie Janes and MY 100th CACHE

Having recently solved this puzzle, today was the day to find. The sun is trying to break through after the recent heavy rains but the wind chill is ferocious! This was a quick find. I love wormwood, the smell brings back happy memories of childhood. With a Vilis hazelnut roll for morning tea it's onto Appila Springs. TFTC Bunya

Woohoo! I worked it out! Now, to get up there and find it!!!

tb visits

got a hint on how to solve this cache, and while on my way to jamestown for the night, i thought a 10km detour was in order, had spent a little bit of time here looking, and looking, so was using the phone the friend option to give and hint when it was found by muggle brother. i swear i looked there,m but must have been the freshness and darkness that had me off my game tonight. the fox that was mention in the last find bt firesafe is now just a pile of bones., cache was still in good order considering it hasnt been found in 11months. took, geocoin, think it is sick of sitting in the cold for so long. was going to leave one but had left them home.

Following a 4WD Club event at Melrose and driving out via the Bridle Track, it was time to head inland and grab a few caches on the way home.

Smelly spot here at the moment with a dead fox 1 metre from the cache. TFTC.

After attempting this cache previously, it has been found. Cache has morphed into a silver screw top container. TFTC.

Worked out puzzle, got the ok from evince but still couldn't find the cache.

Nice puzzle Bunya - now I just need to get over that way to find and log.......

Cache container and log book replaced.
I've slightly changed the information on the cache page on how to spot the cache once you reach GZ.
For the FTF on the new log book, I've left one of my Vegemite geojellies (this is a mini geocoin – the cacher who takes it can keep it or activate it and set it loose as a trackable).

After a very long drive back from Adelaide, via North Bundaleer, I am just visiting a trackable at the cache nearest to where I am staying. Getting some miles on it now!

Finally got around to grabbing this one. I noticed a distinct pattern in recent logs though - people always seemed to be rushing for it just before it rained. Not this time though, on a cold and frosty morning I ducked out before work to grab it.
The roads between where I am staying and where the cache is vary between gravel and mud. Because it has been wet, the mud was churned up by tractors, but then dried, leaving solid ruts the size of tractor wheels. Not easy on my little pulsar, but we made it eventually to the accolades of a cow with her head stuck in a fence.
Thanks Bunya!

I spent nearly an hour on this one, reading logs from this and the one in North America, and it wasn't until I took a good look at the big picture that I figured it out. Even then, I had a few niggling doubts, and sure enough, evince gave me the big red stop sign. Suddenly, enlightenment struck! I plugged in my revised coordinates, but evince wouldn't let me check them.
I read the paper.
I read the comics. (Zits was fantastic, as always.)
I plugged in the new coords, and bingo! So simple! So close! I am staying at a house less than 8km from where I am staying! Might be a trip for the morning, because it is pouring down, it is black as pitch, and dinner is ready.
Turns out my landlord knows the family who live (or used to live) down the road from the new cache location.

It was always going to be touch and go, to try and retrieve this cache before the heavens would open. I had about half an hour before sunset and dark storm clouds were starting to gather. Knowing I would only have one chance, I hopped in the car to drive the required distance from Jamestown. Luckily Wombat Stew had given me excellent directions as to the quickest way to get there. Just when I closed the lid of the container, the rain finally started bucketing down and I needed to do my own roadrunner impersonation to get back to the car. Beep Beep!

Quite a easy puzzle once you work out the numbers, interesting spot, did not stay long as some univiting black clouds where rolling in TNLN TFTC Bunya

Can't remember when we worked out the puzzle for this , but it was one I stumbled upon when looking at remote puzzle caches on OziExplorer .
Easily found today. The container lid is broken but the rock on top should keep the water out .
A neat spot to conclude the puzzle [^].
Took car. Left frog. SL.
Thanks Bunya.

In Jamestown for the Bundaleer Forest Festival with James Morrison - great chance to grab a few caches while the town was swarming with muggles who ignored us. Solved this one ages ago, finally got to pick it up! Nice quick find, but the container is broken. lid does not lock, didn't have anything to replace it, sorry Bunya ..... but thanks for the fun!

This was a very wet and windy day out here and it was interesting doing the calculations in the 4wd while we were being buffeted by the gale force winds.My travelling companion thought I was crazy before doing this geo stuff and for a while there I was starting to agree with him.tftc

went for a quick drive with postie girl to get a couple of caches nice easy one for us

Being rather puzzle-challenged, this stumped me until I read some of the logs to the American sister cache. An 'A-Ha' moment and Evince was soon agreeing with me.

Thank you for placing this cache here. We found it very interesting to visit after an scenic drive across country form Reginald's School (while our tent was drying in town).

I was going to drive my Beep Beep out here this morning but I hitched a ride with honeysucker instead [^] Loved the concept of this cache Bunya ! Learnt some more local history and had the cache in hand quick smart ~ Thanks for the Cache !

I've had these coordinates sittting in my GPS for so long, that it's a relief to finally get here and find the cache. As I approached, I thought it was going to be on the structure at the corner, but no, my GPS led me up the street a bit further. Container is looking a little worse for wear - two of the clips have come off, but it seems to be hanging in there.

Took nothing, left pathtag
Thanks Bunya!

Solved this eons ago... Made a trip out from Jamestown on way home from LWE Event.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Mrs TiedyeSmileys solved this one some time ago so was glad to have finally had the chance to come up here and find the cache. Was a bit surprised to find that we were the first visitors in nearly a year here. Dropped off a TB to encourage more visitors.

TFTC

Hmmm, I had what I thought were good co-ords but evince was down when I went to check.
So off I set without checking the co-ords and the result is a DNF.
Back to the drawing board for me.

ok, got the coords. now to find time for a visit!

Our first geocache outing in 3 months.

We first attempted this one back in November 2006, but only had the PDA with us, so the code meant nothing to us. We received a subtle hint from Bunya, and soon had the corrected coords.

Decided to go for a drive to Orroroo, so made this our first stop for the day. Used the polgon editor over at http://gsak.net/google/polygoneditor.html to load only the caches we needed. I assumed it would include all caches within the bounding box, but as we drove out through Caltowie, I realised that a lot of the caches we wanted were not loaded into either the GPSr or the PDA!

We did however have them printed out on our maps, so finding the right location was easy enough, but we had our work cut out for us trying to find a cache in such a large area. The area had received a reasonable amount of rain the night before, so Mrs J had a bundle of fun sliding the GeoViva along the slippery muddy roads.

Eventually came up trumps, as the leaf litter that once concealed the cache is no longer in place. Glad to finally get back to this cache and log it.

Thanks Bunya for the cool cache and very interesting location.

Found with Wombat Stew.
TNLN TFTC

Finally found this with the help of Mad Pair, after three previous tries with incorrect directions. Quite easy when you travel in the right direction!!

Solved this one a long time ago, but never in the right area. Today was the day! Felt like a roadrunner racing to find it by midday. Great to see this cache has stood the test of time. Thanks for a fun and interesting cache. TNLNSL TFTC

Number 10 for the day on my way to the Flinders. TFTC

It was a while since this one had had a visit. Still happily in place. Left a police car and took dog in basket. Hadn't realised it had a theme till we got here. If it didn;t have at the start it sure does now. TFTC

Our 100th find! Took us a while to get to this one, despite having solved it months ago - but still, we've logged it now, and it will go down in our geocaching history as an important cache
TFTC

A very appropriate place for a cache with this name. After finding the cache, it took a bit of deciding to work out which road to take next.

It's a pity this one doesn't get more finds.

Thanks Bunya - we finally got up here to find some of your caches!

Great, found it. Now which way did we come from?
TFTC

Got this one after a bit of thinking
TN Left Card game
TFTC

My first puzzle cache, nice idea, little location that I did not know was there. Gotta Love that.

Was not truly prepared for this one so took key ring and left two car wash tokens and a pen.

Cheers

Pest

Driving through the countryside we thought we'd just pull over and grab this one. Then we discovered it required some thought. Couldn't see any patterns in the numbers at first glance so decided to work on it and return later.

One of our first in convoy on the flinders under the stars weekend.

Thanks - really nifty idea.

Passed this one several months ago but hadn't worked out the puzzle then.
I have since so was happy to find our travels would take us past it and was keen to finish this one. Clever, simple puzzle and a good introduction to a puzzles cache for those in the group that don't usually attempt this style.
With Bunya's permission a duplicate of this cache has been set up in America. There is a great log entry for the American cache I absolutely loved. A cacher had some difficulty from locals and the log was amazing to read it's not every day you get to read a line like - "crack heads from the hood"


[This entry was edited by SA_ParrotHead on Monday, October 09, 2006 at 4:42:55 AM.]

Found by BARRAMUNDIS. Out with the group on the long weekend. We were at the back of the line..

Cheers from The Barramundi's

2nd find on our way to he Flinders, along with 6 others in tow.
TNLNSL
Thanks Bunya

MiniZyth2 was 1st on the scene to grab this one and the TB in it.

Second stop on the Flinders trip (thanks to those who actually knew where we were going) - TFTC - no problems working it out but would never have even tackled it if it weren't for this trip

[This entry was edited by The Wackys on Friday, October 06, 2006 at 6:38:29 AM.]

Travelling with eight other teams on our way up to the “Flinders†event, this was the second of our mass-assault caches. I was left to bring up the rear in the geo-commode. We hung back a bit because of the dust, so by the time we arrived at the final loc, it was all over bar the shouting. Took my turn at signing the log and zoomed off to the next one . Thanks Bunya.

Changed cache box.
Dropped off Roadrunner geocoin.
Why is it always so windy here?

Found at 16:20, after a little miss direction and doubling back after Appila Day. Took little budha, left little dog in a basket. A quite historical spot. Thanks again Bunya.
Cheers 'scargoes + Joe
