THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, ADELAIDE! Belair, South Australia, Australia
By THENANKS and MadMyers (with maintenance by Skippy) on 23-Jan-08. Waypoint GC18V4V

Oh dear, it must be gone if Queenslanders can't find it! [:-P]

Looks like this one has gone missing!

Here with the other Queenslanders, adding my DNF to the list.

As suggested by Lokipagan, a good search was conducted for this one, to no avail. There is a very obvious hidey hole however, it is full of nasties such as sharps and rubbish. If the container was there, it would have been spotted by the occupants as they conducted their "business".

I widened the search with Kaisho53 yesterday and hunted again this morning with LP. No sign of the container.

Nanks / Madmyers. If you send me an email with where the container should have been, I can let you know whether we were in the right spot. If may be that we missed it completely.

Night caching with the SE Qld Puzzle Solving Group Puzzle Raid to Adelaide

Unfortunately this one wasn't to be even though we gave it a good go


Thanks THENANKS and MadMyers (with maintenance by Skippy) for the challenge

Good search by multiple people during a group trip to Adelaide but no sign of the cache. Impressive tree.

Had a good look for this one, it appears that it has gone. Found an empty zip lock bag which is always a bad sign

Sadly could not find this one. May have been there but lots of muggles nearby and could only look for so long without looking suspicious

Great place. Wow - what a tree!!
Easy find but interesting

TFTC nephew and daughter delighted with this little spot
Took purple bracelet and picture frame, left coloured bracelet and bat and ball

Mid winter and the Brownhill Creek was making a refreshing sound as it gurgled along.

Quick easy find!! Great little hidey spot!! Covered well to keep from prying eyes.
No travel bugs present though. TFTC SL

Quick find on a caching trip to Adelaide TFTC TNLN SL

Found with Slink 1 while on our SA trip. TNLN SL

Nice easy find on a pleasant Sunday afternoon with my geo daughter. No trackables in cache. Cache was totally exposed so now has plenty of cammo. SLTNLN. TFTC

Found with ease, and took a toy car, left a dinosaur. TFTC SL

Great location. Definitely no trackables in there anymore. Took nothing. Left pencil and also re-attached the first page of the second log book with the mini stapler I've been carrying around. Knew it would come in handy eventually! TFTC

Nice easy find, took koala left photo' frame. As previous cachers noted there were no trackable items in cache. SL TFTC.

Nice quick and easy cache. Have written in my log that I took the pathtag.
Actually went through my bag, coat, pockets and no pathtag.
Unfortunately I have either left it in the dirt adjacent the cache or dropped it on the trail to the next one.
Greg and I went back yesterday and it is gone. Will post a note to owner...So Sorry [:(!]

what a great hiding place. we stayed at the caravan park for 3 weeks when we first came over to australia 2 years ago so it brought back some fond memories........ T-car L-koala & uk coin. no TB's as someone had beaten us to it!! ha ha

Revisiting today with Shane.
T Wheelie TB
L Ball TB
Thanks

First for the day, found with Schatzsuche, nice park and great spot

TFTC
Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

Found with Ma7:7hew and SA_Parrothead on our Australia day run originally planned to do all the Mitcham Quarry series but injury and exhaustion led us to abandon those plans after #4 and do a bunch of easy ones. Did this one on the way through between Mitcham Quarries #1 and #2. Nice easy one that we enjoyed. TFTC

Found with someuser. Don't they let children stay at the caravan park? GZ looks like such a fun place to play, you'd think a kid would have muggled the cache by now.

Quick find with Geodog sniffenn out the possums

Found on our way home from a day in Belair.

TFTC

A cool place to stop today (fortunately, didn't need a torch) .
Took Snoopy TB. Left car. SL.
Thanks Nanks & Mad Myers.

Nice hide in an area I haven't been to in ages. Thanks!

Haggis.

As soon as i arrived at GZ I knew where I was going to have to go.
With a huge fear of anything creepy or crawly it took some retrieving.
The cache was eventually found and signed with most of the nerves in tact.
Took: GC, Left: TB.
Cheers and happy caching.

Dropping in TB

Found in a place we used to spend heaps of time as kids. Dropped off Endian geocoin. TFTC

Nice quick find
Great little area to be in on such a hot day

TNLNSL
TFTC

What a beautiful spot! Left things as they were, thanks for the stick!

Another lovely daddy-daughter cache! A2 thought the creek was fantastic, but wasn't so sure about the 'cave'. Once the cache was uncovered, she was in like a flash to retrieve it! No TB here, although I do recall reading a log that someone had picked Hurtle up. There is a new logbook in place so the maintenance tag can be unchecked. Also found a log from a while ago from "Community Service" with a note about "A weird little community". Not sure if they meant them or us!
TFTC THENANKS, MadMyers & Skippy.
L: You don't speak Whale? TB - help him get to Sydney!
T: Lots of stuff so the TB would fit.

I can remember playing in this tree when I was younger! Have been meaning to get this one for a long time.

TFTC

Young muggles were sitting right by it
But still we decided to try it
We thought we'd just say
"Can we come in and play?"
And yep, sure enough they did buy it

A fairly straight forward find, with the creek in full flow.
Suggest bringing a torch for this one..

Took hair brush, left Hurtle TB. Happy travels, Mr H!

TFTC

Needs a new notebook - sorry I didn't have a spare one with me when I found the cache.

Second one for the day. This is a lovely spot that we never would have seen if we didn't go cache hunting. TNLN TFTC

Found at 1235hrs an easy find after a quick search. Nice to see some water in the creek as the last time we came this way it was dry. TNLNSL TFTC.

Hid in tree while rain poured all around.I could live in here.

Nice easy find in an interesting location. Thanks for the memories
TNLNSL
TFTC

Out and about doing odd jobs and of course a little bit of caching.

Anice hide in an old relic. Can't believe there hasn't been one there before.

TNLNSL

TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1555. Glad you had a great holiday. We agree with your sentiments exactly, and love coming here too. Wonder how old this specimen is? Plenty of water today. Our thanks to THENANKS and MadMyers (and also to Skippy).

Quick easy find out on my bike. TFTC
B

A nice place to hide out of the downpour today.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Easy find, also found a Mini Crunchie Bar in the cache! Best find ever!

Found with Badooleoo

Found with darksidelemm. nice spot.

There are probably right times to do this cache, and wrong times to do this cache. An example of a wrong time would be when it has ben dumping it down for the last 4 days. I chose the wrong time.

A slip and a slide later, and I was down the slope, before A mentioned that there was an easier way to GZ. Slip slip slip back up the slope, and made my way to GZ in a much safer fashion.

A quick find once in there, though the only hard part was the fading light.

TNLNSL

Found at 11:30am, our third for the day. Watch out for the spooky spider webs . Lots of goodies, nothing taken, nothing left

Easy one... a little too easy maybe? Hope it doesn't get muggled. TFTC

Easy find, if not a little spooky. Left twixit clip - took nothing. Dropped in on my Yurrebilla trailing. TFTC. Regards Malco.

pretty easy find. Very obvious where it would be once get to GZ. What an awesome tree. Apparently there is one even bigger in USA where you can drive a car through it.

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 12:45pm. What a brilliant tree in a lovely area; lots of ducks on the creek today too. An easy find. TFTC

A beautifully relaxed find early in the morning on a day when I did not experience any flooding, bushfires, famine or explosions
I only found half a dozen or so other caches today and missed all the excitement of all the other crazy goings on that seem to occur to my fellow Queenslanders when they escape the sunshine state
TFTC [^]

Well guarded against archnaphobes! Found it easily though, nice quiet place on a pleasant Sunday afternoon. Took paddleball, snake. Left brush/mirror set, pullback car, water gun. Thanks

Find 523 without a GPS at 2.15pm
Thanks for a memorable cache.
Left Nothing
Took Wonderful Memories

1752. [green]Amazing trees all around.[/green] I actually looked at this one and dismissed it while I wandered around other areas. Eventually came back to the original searching spot and with the aid of a couple of sticks managed to retrieve and replace mostly clean.

TFTC and the area.

Rated: for Overall Experience

An easy find,

This place is as lovely as ever, but all I can say is I have no idea how I missed it last time. I love the old place. Thanks.

BABY BORN HERE![/red]
This is the tree where the baby was actually born. See Sunday Mail, Jan 18 2009 . Can you believe that this lady was stuck here for 2 hours. Strange but true. Scanned map from the Sunday Mail. Forum link here: http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=11624

Clear skies, Astro.

I wonder if the lady in the story below was trying to find the cache...

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,24927170-2682,00.html

Found with Racing Stripes, K8eus and MayGrape while walking the Yurrebilla Trail over 3 days. This is the kind of nutty stuff Rover Scouts get up to. We camped out each night, at the Mt Lofty Youth Hostel and near Morialta. Although the Yurrebilla isn't that long, getting all the caches slowed us down a lot, and it was pretty warm

Camoed the cache a bit better for the next finder. Came out covered in dust and cobwebs!

Found on our 3 day hike of the Yurebilla, a fun little place, and a great lunch rest stop, TFTC!

Took a new-ish cacher to find this one (again) because we had heard that there was a coin in it. Left bracelet, picked up Racing Travel Geocoin #2, not sure whether to take it near or far....having a problem though because I can't find its tracking number, so can't say that I've picked it up

[This entry was edited by jennilium on Monday, January 05, 2009 at 5:14:25 AM.]

Nice easy find, would have been easier with a torch though, i'm surprised this hasn't been muggled yet given the spot, TNLF, TFTC

First of six found for the day

found this easily, covered in cobwebs and dust. dropped off travel coin

Potentially frustrating location of the cache, but very easy in terms of terrain.

Had a little trouble with this one....but found it eventually. No way were we going into get it though...we found a stick to pull it out!!!

A VERY quick and easy find. I used to live near here and back in the 60's and 70's this cache would have been WELL UNDERWATER OFTEN, but no flowing water today, TFTC.

A very pleasant start to a day of geocaching in the Belair.
Took butterfly keyring, left smiley paddle.

This cachxe was right near where I stayed on a previous visit here, but wasn't here then. Couldn't find the cache at first but used an everyday item in a different manner to locate it. Thanks The Nanks et al

Another one I've been running past for years! Was extricated with the help of a stick, hope I poked it back okay 'cos I couldn't see what I was doing (Geofus thought it was too dark to hunt for but I proved him wrong).

I spent ages looking for this one, but it eluded me. Albida.

Thanks for the great cache Nanks (Hi from Josie) Allchin's daughter.
Nice area, I thought not in there..... and sure enough it was! Took a bit of retrieval but to it out. Highly reccommended cache.
What a fantastic camping area/caravan park. So close to the CBD, where else, but in Adelaide.

I've been meaning to pop down here on the bike with the little shonky kid, but was driving past tonight so too good an opportunity to pass up. Glad to finally cross this one off the list, it's been one of the closest non-found traditionals to home for a while. Hope you're all enjoying yourselves up there in sunny queensland! Say gday to the rest of The Nanks and Mad Meyers for me.

great spot! thanks

Nice hidey hole. Thanks goodness the kids are here to help.

Couldn't resist a cache that is only 86m from where we are staying. There is plenty of water in the creek. A positive side effect of this rain. TNLNSL. T4TC.

Joan was with me for the day. We saw some ducklings. So cute!!!! We loved the tree.
Lovely Park.
Thanks TheNanks and MadMyers for the cache.

Thanks,

Picked up after checking our cache on top of the hill!

Cheers

Last time we were around this location it was to visit you guys. Today, with our well known visitors Cooroy Scouts we tackled your cache. Found without any problem. The area is so lush and green unlike when you were here but there is a distant chill in the air, again unlike when you were here. TNLN. Thanks THENANKS and MadMyers

found it ok
great spot you found to pitch ya tent, water was flowing and very cold
cooroy scouts

We had absolutely no trouble at all finding this one, which actually worries us a little - its very obvious, almost like it wasn't hidden where it was supposed to be, but we couldn't figure out where else it should go! That's one cool tree though. TNLNSL.

It was a bitterly cold night when Team Ransid, new cacher J.A.C.H. and one muggle went out to find 'Thanks for the memories'. We were staying at the Brown Hill Creek Caravan Park and could not dare go home without finding this one so close to the CV Park.
It was dark, the stars were out and the creek was flowing.
After having some fun by the creek we found it!

We had a great time retrieving the cache! The muggle who was with us might not be a muggle for much longer. I suspect after having so much fun with this, he might be become a geocacher very soon! Geocaching at night is even more fun than during the day!

Took a little torch to help us find our way back to the CV Park and left a star to shine in someone else's life!
TFTC

Enjoyed the area... This one is nicely hidden, kid and dog frienly place.
Thechappos

WOW! Loved the container that hides the container. What a beauty. You may have had fire and flood while here but by the sounds of it you sure didn't experience a famine! Left a rubber block puzzle and a klem bear and took a Canberra Tankengine pathtag. Thanks Thenanks, MadMyers and Skippy.

[This entry was edited by Klems' Mob on Monday, June 16, 2008 at 5:13:50 PM.]

Lovely spot! Would loved to have explored further! Took nothing, left a pathtag. Thanks.

I hate cobwebs. But apart from that, great spot! Creek flowing beautifully after the rains. TFTC

After all the recent rain and the banks of the small creek covered in autumn leaves I had to be super careful lest I end up in the drink here.
After that hurdle was negotiated safely it was an easy find.
TNLN thanks to the Nanks and Mad Myers.

Quick Find on the way home. TFTC

…and thanks for the cache [:^]. Brownhill Creek in the vicinity of the cache was absolutely stunning with all the trees changing their colours as Autumn sets in. I love oak trees [^]. Nice cache in a beautiful spot Nanks, cheers

A 'ride by' on the way to work, I didn't realise that this cache was here until I was looking up the details of LTC: Q9 and LTC: Q10. It's now off the list of things to do.

TFTC.

Found this cache with froghoppin and have since created my own team name and currently logging previous finds after discussions with other cachers at a recent event TFTC

Found with frog hoppin TFTC

Found while walking the Yurrebilla start, quick easy find before the climb up the hill, TNLN TFTC

Found while working up the creek. No swaps today. TFTC

Woot!! found it. great spot to hide it. our Tom Tom had a bit of trouble finding it in the trees but we got to it after all.
