Rosy Prospects Prospect, South Australia, Australia

Hard to find a car park. I parked about 300m away. The walk did me good. I spent too long searching the wrong place. Once I read the description and found the hint there, then it didn't take long to find. Log is full and ratty. Needs a CO visit. This find ticks off another Council area for me. TFTC e.gregory1.

Good hide

A nice easy find on a chilly nightRetrieved, stamped and returned.TFTC

quick and easy find, thanks for the cache!

Quick find while visiting the city of Prospect. Thanks for the cache.

CJ3 my find was stolen by the 6yr old

Today out and about on 78 of 100 days of consecutive days caching with a minimum of physical one a day. Using my Garmin Etrex 22X and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cache.TFTC

Out for a long bike ride. No problems finding this one.

Over from Perth for a few days to attend the Leap Day Mega. After the big day yesterday, today's plan was to grab a few caches in Semaphore near the event, then take a slow winding drive back to the hotel via a select few caches, ad labs and LGAs. This was one that I stopped off at along the way. A nice easy find in an aptly name park as the dog behind the fence went nuts when I removed the cache and replaced it again. All ok here today - TFTC

Hi e.gregory1, We found your 1.0 2.0 Micro Traditional Rosy Prospects on 29/2/2024.Find 2795 for BFMC.The adjustments to the plan are coming in thick and fast due to dnfs and a shortage of time to travel too far, fortunately this one filled a D/T slot nicely replacing a dnfThe G-Crew have descended on Adelaide with some seriously lofty caching goals as our sole objective, to be achieved at the expense of almost everything else (including sleep). With a minivan loaded with Cachers & TOTTs hopefully time is the only thing that stands in our wayWith 2024 presenting us with a leap day, we have decided to target as many of project-gcs Leap Day badge extensions as possible, with the primary objective of completing a fizzy grid in a day. SA became the logical choice due to the Mega event and the fertile, largely uncached grounds it provides for our team.Many months of planning and puzzle solving (from the simple to downright diabolical) have gone into this trip. Our selected matrix has evolved over time to account for other ongoing objectives. Fortunately, I had a reasonable list of solved but unfound puzzles from my last trip to the Tour Down Under a few years ago but the many, many hours, and many more group chat messages since we started planning this in 2023 have brought us to this point.All physical caches were either stamped or signed as G-CREW to save both time and log space. Thanks to all the COs who have placed and maintained these caches!

Veni, Vidi, ViciHaving finally unlocked premium, its time to catch up on logs. Visiting Adelaide with the Gcrew (BFMC, Bushfire, Dromaniax, Jtreetrack2, Neville_Devil, Quickhealer2 and SimsFamily) for a mega adventure. Thanks to all the Cache Owners for their caches, we had a very busy, but very enjoyable couple of days in Adelaide and surrounds targeting a D/T loop in a day and whatever other caches took our fancy.No rest for the wicked on this trip.

I took my first ever trip on a plane to Adelaide to cache with G-Crew (BFMC, Bushfire, Dromaniax, Jtreetrack2, Quickhealer2 and SimsFamily) for a mega leap day adventure. After months of planning and puzzle solving we hired a minivan and set off on a mission to find as many caches as we could on our leap day adventure with the main goal of completing a Dt loop in a day. We started off by working our way down to Victor Harbour via the coast, then worked our way back to Adelaide via the inland route chasing different types, sizes, JASMER's, unusal D/T's, earthcaches, virtuals and more. Thanks to all the CO's who have placed and maintained all of the caches we found on this trip, I had a great time.

A couple of days off work so we can visit the City of Churches for the Great Leap Forward MEGA. The G-Crew met up at Adelaide Airport and all piled in to the Hyundai Staria Im pretty sure Staria means not that comfortable and be prepared to slide around in your seat.The G-Crew (BFMC, Bushfire, Dromaniax, JTreeTrack2, Neville_devil, Quickhealer2 and Sims-family) have prepared for months and are ready to go. Puzzles have been solved, target caches listed, spare caches ready we are to get a Leap Day fizzy grid in SA. 7 Cachers checkToTTs checkCold drinks checkEnough time hopefully.All logs were signed or stamped with the G-Crew name to save time and space in the logs.Thank you all the CO's for the contributions and ongoing maintenance. We had a very tiring caching party. Sorry for the generic log but with 100+ logs to write I'll never catch up if I don't, my logs have been at 8 months unloved so have had plenty to catch up on.

Well the big day is here, we are finally in Adelaide after weeks of planning . The G-Crew (BFMC, Bushfire, Dromaniax, JTreeTrack2, Neville_devil, Quickhealer2 and Sims-family) has some pretty intense goals that requires a very long day and no sleep to achieve. The last few weeks the message group has been awash with many many messages as we worked though all the puzzles in order to achieve our main goal of a full D/T loop in a day.We loaded the Hyundai Staria (Was meant to be a KIA Carnival, Not an upgrade ) with all the ToTTs we though or hoped we would need in order to achieve our goals.All logs were signed or stamped with the G-Crew name to safe time and space in the logs.Thank you all the CO's for the contributions and ongoing maintenance. We had a blast and sorry for the generic log but with so many logs to write I'll never catch up if I don't.

According to Google I have lived for 21 leap years + but how many more we do not know but the SA Leap Forward Mega has been and gone and what a great event.Our very lofty goal, completing a full D/T Matrix on a leap day. The G-Crew (BFMC, Bushfire, Dromaniax, JTreeTrack2, Neville_Devil, Quickhealer2 and Sims-family) have descended on Adelaide with some seriously caching goals as our sole objective, to be achieved at the expense of almost everything else (including sleep).We have to say a great big thanks to all the cache owners for looking after these caches for us to find. The hire cars had a big work out with all the gear and TOOLS that we thought we may require.We have decided to target as many of Project-GCs Leap Day badge extensions as possible, with the primary objective of completing a fizzy grid in a day.One of my first Megas was in SA in I think 2014 ( Murray Bridge) but as there, just so many caches of most D/T combos it made sense to target this Mega. We had a list of solved caches that gave a great starting point for our assault but distance was also a problem but I think we made our objective irrespective a great time was had even if we do not make our objective.Thanks to all the S.A. cachers for placing these caches and keeping them on the playing field.

What an amazing adventure through Adelaide.This was my first time to Adelaide and we had a very long day driving and grabbing as many caches as possible. Our very lofty goal, completing a full D/t Matrix on a leap day.Apologies for the generic log, but with so many caches we got today, we didnt have much time to log them as we grabbed them.We had no issues with any containers or hides, and all were in good condition, and well maintained.I was part of G-Crew as we tackled our list, we hired a seven seater van and drove all around Adelaide. The members of our hunt were Dromaniax, BFMC, and JTreeTrack2 who did their fair share of driving and route planning, Sims_family who was on recon and puzzle solving, Neville_devil our fearless high altitude cacher, and myself Quickhealer2.We have been planning this adventure for about 10 weeks, puzzle solving, route planning, and it all came down to the big day and we did so much.I was very lucky to be invited into G-Crew, and with all of our skills and strengths we got our task doneEach log was signed or stamped G-Crew, and I thank all the CO's for maintaining their caches through the chaos of this Mega eventthanks again for the adventureQuickhealer2

We had a couple of hours before today's event and decided to find a handful of geocaches in the vicinity. Nice hide - TFTH and fun!

Out and about grabbing a few caches in the inner north of Adelaide CBD. Nice warm weather today whos keeping lots of muggles away - good geocaching weather. I spent too long searching in the wrong place until I fully read the cache description. Once I altered my search area, cache was found shortly after. All good here. Thanks for the cache e.gregory1.# # #14172 # #

Found back on Saturday 20th while waiting for a movie to start. Had a lovely chat with a very nice person refilling water dishes for the local birds. Do recommend a tall companion to grab the cache for you. TFTC xox

Sadly this one got the better of us this time

I am back in South Australia for more than a week for the first time in ages so naturally this meant that I took the time to catch up with my Geomum, Doctor Owl. It had been about 2 years since we cached together and I had actually managed to do a number of caches in my own time since then - granted, not particularly ones in Australia though.We were driving past this cache on the way to another one and as I hadn't found this one before, we stopped to quickly grab it. It was a fairly easy find once I read the description and stopped being distracted by the wall. I do now smell of rosemary though (well I did when I wrote my notes. It is now several days later when I am actually logging these and I am happy to report that I no longer smell like rosemary). TFTC.

a beautiful park in a great bit of town. Cache was quickly found after admiring the nearby artwork. Another LGA down on my challenge! TFTC

Nice easy find!

Found during the day after seeing a movie at the cinema. The cache was found quite quickly but slower to retrieve. It's well above the hint for us shorties, but I manged to find something to stand on and used my pen to slide it as well. The process was noisier than intended but I think I went unnoticed. Signed and replaced. TFTC

Quick find today TFTC!

Hidden where it was expected given the description and hint.TFTC.

Found it

With 2 out of 3 of our adult children and our geocaching grandson. Took a while, but was very happy to find it

Tyftc!

Thanks!

Very well camouflaged. TFTC

A lovel walk around the area this morning, an easy find. TFTC

Needed my ninja skills, under the cover of darkness, for this one! TFTC, signed, added a swap, and returned.
Thank you as well for bringing me to see this artwork, too. It’s beautifully horrifying.

Almost gave up. It blends in well. I was tall enough. But overlooked it a few times.

TFTC

This one took the myself and the family a while to find but it was a satisfying moment when we did. TFTC

Cache checked and all good.

DNF

Sadly I had no luck here… I’ll be back!

Too tricky for us today!

Last day of April 2023, so why not clock up some cache finds!

Found 4m from GZ. If it wasn't for my nifty pen I would not have been able to reach If you're shorter than 5'7 bring a TOTT

Almost to short!! Loved the spot TCTC

Couldn't find

Quick search provided cache in hand, not many in the park today despite the lovely weather this afternoon TFTC

Looks like this one had suffered a bit of ‘cache creep’. Now back where it should be. Thanks the_jokas for your assistance.

A quick find after birthday brunch. Tftc! Sabo + JJ

Down in the city today for the uni open day, grabbing some caches where we can. 20 finds for today with 6 of those being lab cache stages. This cache is one that was found today.

A quick find here once in the right spot. Dog over the fence didn’t seem happy for me to be here. Log book bag a little torn but otherwise all good here.

Find #4508 on 14 Aug 2022.
TFTC e.gregory1!

Goodbye nemesis! TFTC! Bag is ripped

Another DNF for today

Went out for a few caches after the "Lets talk... Leap 2024" event, sounding like it'll be a good day with lots of great minds working on it.

A total of 18 finds for the day, including a FTF.

Quick find here today.


Cache retrieved and signed with stamp.

Thanks e.gregory1 for the cache.

Nicely tucked away there, nice and secure

It was very tricky to get a park with a caravan on a Saturday where there is no parking anywhere. Finally got here.
On a road trip from Perth to Canberra with some LGA side trips. TFTC

Can't find it, I think it's missing

No cigar for me today.

Yay

I visited this cache with bektheraccoon, TFTC

I didn't plan it like this, but today if a nice day to go visit a rose garden. The smiley was easy won, moxie got to explore a little and some guy gave me a rose. Tftc

Cleverly hidden

Easy find in a beautiful, well maintained park. Thanks e.gregory1 for the cache. I lingered to read the information and study the sculpture and just to enjoy the garden. I can see why it is popular for wedding photos.

Took Jolly0 for her first time visit to nearby Costco and then we had a lovely lunch just down the road at the Bottletree cafe. A quick check on geocache and we noticed a small group of geo's not far away.

This one is located in a lovely park that we wouldn't have known was there if it wasnt for geocaching, one of things I love about it. While there, check out the Human Rights wall, an amazing work of art. A nice easy one to find. TFTC

A quick find in a beautiful little park. Love the arbour

TFTC e.gregory1
Keep smiling

Thanks. This was our first find. Lovely little garden.

Found it. Same place as a couple years back

The hint helped

Unfortunately the cache has gone missing a number of times and the hide seems to have been compromised. It has been replaced with a smaller container a short distance away.

Given the hint I was pretty sure I knew where this would be, but nothin found

Lively place to visit

TFTC..

Thanks, we found our first by chance while sitting and having a picnic. It’s something I’ve thought about doing but this pulled the trigger. We added a pencil

YAY FOUND IT!! It’s the easiest one I have done!

Found with chockylock, paper very water damaged. Needs replacement

the cats pyjamas strikes again

Found thanks to Cachebandicoot69

Love it and it down low

Nice cache. A little bit wet though after the rain.

Found today. Thanks for the cache!

The log book was soaking wet and there was a slug on one of the pages!

1st Geocach found in my neighbourhood

Found on a winter's day after tennis

Container replaced and re-hidden. All set to go!

Damaged container removed. Thanks 17MG17 for letting me know. Will be replaced soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Unsure where this is exactly meant to be.. foubd lid and log in garden bed...

Another park I have driven past so many times and never checked out. Was very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for the cache and a great place to meditate on life.

Nice easy find, TFTC

Easy little cache after dinner at a local burger joint. Wood be rude not to log this one straight away!
