Found after stumbling around on the ground for a while. Very clever & well camouflaged hide.

TFTC Grandeeze

A group effort! Signed log! Tftc

Very cleverly hidden nice work with jayde66

Yay we found it with jayde66

Love the camo

Well hidden few scares with spiders but found it.

Tftc

The camo had us stumped for a while too!

The roses are out in bloom today. Beautiful. And I should read the cache page before investigating objects specifically mentioned as not having it , but no harm done. Eventually broadened my search and viola!

Thanks for the cache, Grandeeze

A great hide and wonderful camouflage. TFTC

This is one of those caches that bug you and bug you, and you are destined never to give up but never to find. TFTC

A WONDERFUL PLACE FOR A CACHE HIDE.
TFTH. SIGNED LOG.

Found with Coast’n Along. Refer to Coast’n Along’s log.

Caching with Kool Running while in SA for a family wedding. Greetings from Albany in WA. Taking a bike ride from Tanunda to Nuri thru Angaston and return. Just love the roses everywhere in out travels. Nice camo and lots of envy as a rose grower in a cooler climate.

Love the camouflage

Quick easy find today. Geohubby had it in hand. I stood back as I am allergic to roses.
TFTC

Not today - a lot of new spring growth has made it difficult (?), maybe in winter it will be easier. Good luck to others looking.

Found during a Barossa caching day with the whole M-SEZ team. Our last cache beforeheading back to the 'burbs. Geo girl made the find of a well camoed cache in an unlikely spot. TFTC

TFTC

Loved the clever camo on this one. Our last cache for the day as the weather has turned cold. SL. TFTC.

Oooh this was fun. TFTC and Are We There Yet!

Out on a day of caching with my great pommie pals peeneff to indulge in Barossa Valley views etc. Highly enjoyable day with excellent company! Another quick find thanks to peeneff. Thanks Grandeeze.

Travelling around this lovely area picking up caches as we go

TFTC

Out with CPWanderer and Aussie M&M for a days caching to forget about work and make it to 900. No red flowers yet. The only red a saw way the blood on my hand when container came away and my hand went in the bush! . In the end I had another smilie.

Very clever. TFTC

Found by muggle who happily comes caching with us
TFTC

Hello I'm Back, and good to go again, Enjoy

I have temporarily disabled this cache until the pruners have clipped the roses, other wise the cache will get raked up and dumped. back soon

Love the camo

Out for a bike ride trying to dodge the raindrops!! Onto the next one.

Out on a excursion with CP Wanderer to see a friend in hospital and to gather a few caches along the way, a quick find TFTC

took us a little while but got there in the end

this one had us stumped for awhile but Col eventually tracked it down....good camo...cheers Grandeeze

Found it No. 5424 ... something did not look right ... TNLN ... TFTC Grandeeze

Searching by torchlight at dusk, when you're pressed for time - probably not the best conditions to search for this one.

We were very fortunate that there wasn't a great deal of work on this weekend and we were able to sneak an extra day off so headed across to Skippy's 50th birthday event . We woke up this morning not feeling the best we have ever felt after a little too much birthday cheer last night still looking forward to a planned day out caching with maccamob. We had a great time finding the numeric power trail placed for skippy's birthday and then continued on to find a few more of the local ones. Maccamob had enjoyed th is cache yesterday and again graciously stopped for us to find it. For a change we were here at the right time of the year and the roses were putting on a fantastic show for us. Again we made this one harder than what it should have been with maccamob grinning away in the background but it wasn't too long before we had the nicely hidden cache in hand and our name is also now in the log.
Our thanks again to Grandeeze for placing this cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1640. ... and violets are blue. Miles of red roses here, and don't they look magnificent? Wonder if they mean those grapes make red wine? Mary knows some old nurses who would never put red and white roses together as they signified 'blood and bandages'. Our thanks to Grandeeze.

Found with the family on a great day out !! TFTC

Nearly gave up on this one, finally spotted it with lid off. Replaced lid...TFTC!

Searched high and low but couldn't find it. Maybe next time.

Working my way to 2000 cache finds. Out on a day trip with CPwanderer and Aussie M & M.
Thanks Grandeeze for another great cache

Roses all out making a stunning display! Pleasantly surprised, great cammo! TFTC

Nice camo! Quick find. Cheers & TFTC!

Nice easy find
Found this one straight away even though after reading previous logs was expecting it too give us some trouble
Found while out caching with Earthlight
tftc

Smelt the roses and then hunted for the cache.
Interesting camo.
Found with The X-Trailers.
TFTC

took a bit of seaching, but soon had it in hand.... loved the container!

These roses were planted by none other than JW of the olive stones. Him, his mate and there fathers one rainy day for the council many years ago.

Our last day in Nuriootpa, even though today was hot and humid but we were keen to finish off some caches around Barossa Valley before we move further north tomorrow...Mr Bushies2 attempted this a few days ago on our way to Lyndon but couldn't find it so we went back and he found it straight away, couldn't believe he missed it first time Thanks Grandeeze.

Our first find of the day with Evdogga, didn't take us long to find. However we were nearly muggled by a rogue farmer TFTC

A great, sunny day for geocaching with Snazzyiron!!
TFTC - unfortunately the council had cut the roses back lately, so there were not too many roses to appreciate, was quite unlucky

This one has been on our radar for a very long time. The first time we visited we later discovered it had been "lost" after the rose pruners had been through. We had a couple of quick but unsuccessful searches after the cache was replaced and then today found it within a minute or so of reaching GZ. It was definitely an elusive little thing, especially with the roses in full bloom. TFTC

Nice little ride by cache, thanks.

Nice hide!
Took a short break from The Clubman nationals in tanunda to do some caching.
TFTC

Found at 17:08. Olga and I looked for this for some time. I like this one - the description of the cache actually led us to the wrong spots. The roses were flowering, which made the place look nice.

Wow, busy with muggles but had it in hand after a few minutes.

I believe the roses were planted way back in 1977 to coincide with the Queen's visit to the area.

Found with the help of HuntingChicken, who walked up and found it straight away while I was still busy looking at the GPS! TFTC.

Great Cache TFTC

Found this in about 10 seconds after turning the GPS on but still a nice ride to the location. TFTC

The roses were not red today buy I'm sure soon they will be in full flower.
Great cammo.

Cheers and happy caching.

Well Done. I walked up and down, and searched high and low. And looked at all the possible metal objects for a magnet to attach to. Who would of thought! TFTC

Found with Whackles01. Clever camo. Looked straight at it and didnt know at first.
TFTC

Found great hide, couldn't find it last time I looked.

Loved the camo, came here a few months ago and couldn;'t find it. Found within a few minutes this time

This cache will be re enabled soon, reasons (1) The cache was destroyed by gardeners. (2) There is a big lake of water cachers must cross to reach the cache so a new GZ coming soon. (3) National broadband cable was being laid through GZ. Cache will be back in the next day or so.

enabled and new location, moved due to water to S34.29.582 E138.59.216

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 29.588 E 138° 59.214

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 29.582 E 138° 59.216

Distance from original: 37.8 feet or 11.5 meters.

Co ordinations changed due to water lying in the area.

Looks like temporary work in the area and people cleaning up the area, the cache has done a runner. will replace as soon as I get myself organized.
Back soon

Excellent camo, great hide!

Found quickly on a cold and wet afternoon in the Barossa.

Thanks for the cache Grandeeze.

Logged with new scroll & dry baggie, hop that was ok, we almost gave up had to deploy PAF, and DOH! had seen it all along, neat camo. TFTC [red]Gayle & Mark[/red]

A quick stop here as well while passing [^]
Log is a little soggy!
Cheers

checked, cache is still in its location,

I'd have to vouch that this one is AWOL too.

I am sure it is missing as it is mention about magnetic - please could you check thanks.

Watch listing.

Another quick find today and a good thing too with the wind and rain. Nice camo really suits the position! SL TFTC!

It's not just the roses that were red here today. I was about to give up red faced, frustrated about being unable to find a cache in this area when I had a final Hail Mary look around and saw something out of place. Of course it was the cache. I rode away red faced at not seeing this before.

Thanks for the cache Grandeeze.

Another day out on the road doing course work for the Scouts Rally SA and of course some caching.

Clever Camo. TFTC.

The roses are definitely in bloom
Cheers and thanks for the cache

Went out for the day with the Burton's, Had a great time cacheing.The roses are red and in full bloom. TFTC

Nice camo. Cheers

good little camo! tftc

Found @ 12-12pm with Poppadon. Good hide, nice spot, watch kids. TNLN,TFTC.

Found at 12:10 PM with XBRmob. Roses are red, but leaves are so green, look at the sign and it wont be seen! Very clever, down to earth cache on a busy road. Even had to watch out for a train!
TFTC

Cool hide. TSLS. TFTC.

Coming from a wine region in Germany we are visiting the BAROSSA valley. I tell you, some GC's have covered the area with some nice caches and made it extra attractive to visit.

Here also a great camo in a perfect location. I love those roses Thanks for it.

great roses
tftc

Cute hide! These roses are lovely. Thanks

We had been here last year for a quick look and failed then after looking for quite a while. After finding it immediately today as soon we arrived, we would like to think that something was piled over it back then and not our poor searching.
TFTC

Good me a little while to spot this one. I should have trusted the co-ordinates - which were spot on. The cache finally jumped out at me, once seen I don't know how I missed it. SL. TFTC.

Day 227 of non-stop caching.

Well done- took a pic to show off your creativity.

A quick out after tea with Shazadam and this one was quickly in hand. The others had come here before on their bikes but Master 1 prevented a thorough search. Good hide Grandeeze. TFTC

Discovered with Demolineux. Unable to find previously due to distraction of junior grandchild. TFTC.

Loved this clever little cache. I was trying to work out how it might be attached if it was magnetic to where I thought it might be as I was driving to it. Very clever. I have listed this as one of my favourites. Thanks

Easy find for Geomum as the kids ran around looking in the all too obvious places. Nice camo.

Find number 11 out of 44 on epic day out caching with CPWanderer and Aussie M&M. TFTC
