where

Nothing attached to the sign

Dug around, looked up and down... Nothing but air to be found ??

A beautiful, sunny day to catch a train down south with my bike to grab some southern caches.
I was heading back to the station to go home when I noticed this on the map. I’d just worked out where I had to look and 2 mini muggles wandered up to ask me a question and when they finally wandered off all the friends, family and dog were leaving the nearby establishment. Another cache, another day.

Found

Found after multiple attempts felt wrong during the day

Searched all around but couldn’t find

The maps turned crappy

Couldn’t find felt disrespected too, might come back does anyone know if it’s still there?

After a couple attempts.. finally found it!

One of the harder ones, even after trying to look for it in that spot 3 times prior. Even had to ask for help! Container is super cute!

A quick stop here today, cache is all good

Today we caught up with Wollaston and SeasonedBird for a days caching down in the southern Suburbs along the way stopping for breakfast, lunch and some wine tasting. A lovely day out with 21 finds.

Thanks for the cache

Tackling some urban caches with Wollaston and Gridge98&Co.

Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

10/10 for this one basically under ground couldn't do it my self massive shout out to braxy max who helped me thro this journey my favourite one so far but it did take days to put the puzzle together

Headed down to Port Noarlunga today for a quick dip and this was the last of three traditionals found on the way home. After my previous failure here spoke to a PAF line and was told where it had been. Was reasonably sure it wasn't there when I looked but being close by today had to have another look at where it no longer was. Thought about where a little bit of cache creep would have taken it and found the rusty themed container almost immediately. Definitely not waterproof but the oversize bag is doing a good job of keeping log dry.
Thanks to GingerMint for placing this cache for me to find

Finally found this one after several attempts. The coordinates aren't very accurate so making it challenging yet so clear once found! TFTC

Great hide - thanks for the help Braxyman and BallaratKellie

Found this one after a hint from a previous finder!

Cool container

Thank you for maintaining and placing this cache!

We really appreciate your effort!

TFTC GingerMint

Thanks for this Traditional Cache

Cache on!

Find 1671

Dnf

We were the last ones to find it so went back to see if it was still where we found it after seeing all the DNFs and it’s still there

Finally found the time to get down south for some caching on the NEW bike. After 2 rides finished the day with 24 finds and 4 DNFs
This was one of the DNFs. Spent a while looking but without success. I'll be watching.
Thanks for the hunt GingerMint

Three sets of eyes but we couldn't find this one today. Will watch this one......

Spent some time here. DNF, our first DNF for the day.

Cute hide

Found it. A very good hide it took us a while

Found. TFTC

7 September 2019 i DNF'd this hide and it's only today i finally found it.
Obviously it wasn't intended to be lying out on the ground with no log book in it so i returned to the GeoMobile and added new paper and a bag into the cache (SL) and re-hid.

Loved the little container type (Fave point for that) even though i didn't find it how it should be, i get the jist if it.
I just had to show the 'passed-on' related cache some TLC
My apologies for the bag size.

SL at 10:44 on my "53rd"... 5 October 2020.
There was no magnet in the cache (providing it was supposed to be on the structure) so i re-hid it in a spot one would find a cache of this type.. just look for the bits of tree bark below ankle height.

Loved the cache and theme

TFTC GingerMint and TheSandypants

Found but couldn’t sign, needs a lot of TLC
Found with bag hanging out

Loved it TFTC

Found. Thanks

Found

Hahah asorable tiny coffin which it is hiding in XD

Tft clever cache

Badly in need of some tlc... out in the open.. log satched...

With Davidwazza giving better coordinates I gave this a try again but it just led me back to where I had searched before. But this time it was just lying there on the floor! So found it but wonder where it should have been.
The cool looking container is on its last legs so may need some maintenance.
TFTC

Lying on floor, not really hidden so don't know where I should be returned it too. I think needs a visit to secure. TFTC

This ‘shaped’ up to be quite an easy find... the last few had been pretty tricky so this was a bit of charity thrown our way!

Found it

My favourite so far!! Very cool. Thank you

Haha good one

Found it

Yeh

Love it

Easy find and what an appropriate cache container. Tftc

Love the site appropriate case

A quick evening walk with sister and geodog saw us finding this interesting cache. TFTC!

AHAHA great little cache. It was blower vac day so the poor lad didn't know what to do!

With work finishing at lunchtime today, I wondered how to spend my afternoon. There were a fair few geocaches down south that I had wanted to do on my bike, so decided to drive down, and ride the Coast to Vines Rail Trail from Morphett Vale to Hackham. Then towards Huntfield Heights and to the sound of Christmas carols, it was then back riding along Golden Wattle Way Trail, and finishing off where I started. I'm not a big fan of suburbian caches and driving around stopping/starting, but cycling + geocaching was a lot of fun, and very enjoyable. A nice temperature sunny afternoon to be riding around also.

I continued my afternoon's adventure along the rail trail, and after detouring to the main roads towards a cluster of caches, I made sure to visit this one that I had a previous DNF on. This cache still had me looking for a good 5-10 min before making the find. I think the coordinates were about 12 m out, with my GPS having the cache at S 35° 08.215' E 138° 31.438'.

A very clever container actually, and not in the usual place, which is probably why seasoned Geocachers had trouble with this spot. Thanks GingerMint and TheSandypants for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

DNF

Found it. A very clever cache. Almost rusted through. Will need to be replaced soon

Last confirmed april 2019.. is this still in situ please

Wow... going on past logs i am just 'dying' to find this one lmao, but today i was unlucky in my efforts [v]

I will keep an eye on the future logs of this one coz i wanna see just how cool it really is and have another crack at it.
Thanks for the challenge anyways GingerMint

Always knew this would be difficult and I made it more difficult by trying in the dark. Will try again in the daytime

With the two geocaching breakfast events out of the way this morning, @gridge98 and I planned a trip to the south collecting a whole bunch of suburban caches whilst trying to target a few higher D/T caches, and picking out a few of the *Mystery at the Museum* promotion caches with the appropriate clue for us. I think we ended up using the ladder 3-4 times during the afternoon, so we certainly put it to good use.

This one got the better of us today, as we looked in the obvious location, and then checked the surrounds, but still nothing. After 10-15 min of searching, we had to keep moving on, so will have to watch this and perhaps get some help, cheers.

Quick find before heading to Victa Harber

Sneaky, very sneaky. Great hide. TFTC. Night caching with CrackedChelle

.

Awesome cache!

Thanks good hiding place

Nice find, might need to replace container as but rusted, maybe add a pencil to write.

Return visit in the dark and found quickly! Found container empty so I left a log sheet in plastic. TFTC!

TFTC gave us a great chuckle. Needs some maintenance as getting very damages.

Had a look during day time, but felt too conspicuous to look for long! Will return in the dark!

Very cute, great case and great clues

Awesome fun. Found it in no time.

Simply couldn't find this one... Tftc.

Found on a lunch break with kkrafterandson...very cute container...TFTC

hevwalker and i both at morphett vale office today so during our lunch decided to pop out and find some nearby caches. Different cache fitting for the area. I couldnt believe that i beat hevwalker t o this one.back in place just in time for muggles arriving at nearby establishment. TFTC

Well done. This is quite unique. TFTC

Nice RIP

Out with Mippa1987 for a night time caching walk. A quick find in a busy location. Great container
TFTC

Awesome little container

Found it.

Cute cache container found with Rex on a quiet Sunday morning. He was refusing to walk so we did Park and Grab caches TFTC

I was coughin' when I found that.

TFTC

In the area collecting some trees to grow for the season, so collected some caches at the same time. Nice container! TFTC

Easy. Grave spot.

Found while out on the bikes. Searched around coords and gave up - then spotted while walking back to bikes! Thanks to previous finder for maintenance.

Found this whilst knocking off local caches and wasting time before dinner ! Contents of cache moldy and rusty and soggy. Replaced log book as previously other cachers have complained it needed one and also put it in a snap lock bag to protect it. Easy done

Ok ... time for a road trip - Mum and Dad came down from Qld, in their campervan, for a visit, then Mum flew home (ready to go overseas with a friend) and Dad and I headed off in the campervan, on a trip from Canberra (where I live) to Adelaide (where I was born) for his sister's 80th ... we spent a week driving there the long way, and taking our time visiting some interesting places and checking out a few places we used to visit/live/etc ... and stopping for me to find the odd cache or 5 ... or more ... lol
We then spent a week around Norlunga, Moana, Sellicks Beach, Mt Compass, etc catching up/visiting/doing things with relatives, and driving around looking at places we used to live/do stuff/etc, and a few beaches and other interesting things ... and me finding caches here and there as we went

We spent the morning driving around looking at houses where relatives used to live, and where I went to school for my first year (now a funeral place - lol), and the house I lived in for the first 7 years of my life (in Williams Avenue). Then we had lunch at a park that is most likely named after my Grandfather (and/or his family) - Arnold Holly (who was chairman of the Noarlunga Council for about 20 years ... until approximately 1970)

TFTC ... yes ... THIS was where I went for my first year of school - lol ... would have been about 1968 ... and I don't remember, but I am guessing those 2 huge gum trees out the front were probably already there back then! (but maybe not quite so huge)

Kind of weird that it is now a funeral place - lol
Oddly enough, when I went there I think it was actually known as Hackam Primary School ... or at least that is what I have always thought ... maybe I am wrong ... I was only 5 ... lol

Love the idea about the cache container, but as others have said, the log is full and "rusted" paper - from the rusted container.
Needs maintenance.
But since the CO has not been on-line since 9/4/14, and his only other cache has been disable, maybe not much chance of this one being spruced up by the CO

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full, has been reported before.
The container is rusting and the existing log book is now rust colour.
The container is not water tight, but perfectly themed for this cache.
The CO has not been online since 9/4/14 I believe, his other owned cache has been archived and his status is listed as "inactive member", so maybe little chance of this one being made good.
Pitty if that is so.

Cute cache to go with the theme
Needs to be looked at tho
Fun find thanks

Bird

Found a long time with my dad Rod81w. Slowly catching up on all my finds

Very cute container but not sealing, log a mess, needs to be in something sealed, thanks for the cuteness
