Quick stop while riding the bike trail. As previous finders mentioned the log book is very mouldy, we added a couple of fresh sheets to the container.

Suscoe had a delightful day out in the Adelaide Hills with our great friends Phetlern.We enjoyed the scenic trip and the lovely little villages that we passed through.We saw lots of fruit trees, well maintained hedges, happy looking cattle, some Alpacas and lovely trees.It is really a great place to explore. We enjoyed the cache finds that we made.Thanks to mogni for this memory of another time.

TFTC!

Tftc ...there's an impressive anthill nearby...watch out! The ants must have been sleeping today thankfully D
Cache in good condition and dry

I had a glorious afternoon caching, in some of the warmest weather we have had for some time. I had the bike with me but decided to car hop most of these. I walked this group of four, quick finds, nice work. Thanks for the cache Mogni, love you work.

Americas cup, they must have died when we won their cup from them. Again, huge Australian spirit and determination. I have memories of the lifing of the tent to reveal the winged keel, and Bob Hawke saying, if any boss sacks a worker for being late today, he is a *um.

Enjoying a lovely winters day out on the hills and finding a few caches along the way. A walk along the Amy Gillet Bikeway was the perfect way to shake down a delicious bakery lunch.

Found on a walk during the global pandemic of 2020

Thanks good one

Very well camouflaged! TFTC:)

I went and checked on this and couldn't spot it anywhere so have replaced
Enjpy!

found/replaced with the co. That makes for a quick find.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Made the search here with KB seems that the cache is missing and needs replacing.

Planned for a bike ride around the hills grabbing caches on the way with jesswrigley. Was a little brisk in winter, but we had no rain and ended up riding 35 km around the hills.

Started skipping a few caches and thought we would grab this one as an intermediate cache. I remember seeing the America Cup yacht in Perth and reading Hawke’s quote thinking it was brilliant. Found the cache reasonably quickly, thanks for the hide.

More fun for the geokid searching for these. He had a great time trolling the caches for goodies. Great to have them in abundance up here.

Tftc

Nice easy one

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

While on holidays, I've been completing parts of the Amy Gillett bikeway for my daily caches. The geo-dogs and I have enjoyed walking along the shady paths each evening.

14-26 Sept 1983. The last 3 races won by Australia II to clinch the trophy! I remember staying up all night to watch that last race then when it got light, riding my Dragster 3-Speed bicycle around with a small Australian Flag attached to the long Dolly-Bar behind the seat and feeling so proud that we did it. The huge writing on the front cover of "The News" newspaper back then read: "IT'S OURS!" I still have it somewhere [^] A True Australian Achievement!! One of many over the years!

Found and SL of this one at 08:26 on Wed. 29 Nov 2017. TFTC mogni

With the year winding down I decided to head out to Woodside and Verdun to grab some more caches to go towards my 1000 for the year total. A quality day was had with a total of 31 finds being made. I was lucky to complete most of the Sporting Memories trail, hopefully I shall be back to grab the last few
