Looks like someone been out to ruin our fun.! Unfortunately this one has its lid off and nothing inside
Another fine day bike'n & cache'n along the Amy Gillett Bikeway. A couple of annoying DNFs today, but I found this one! TFTC
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.
Quick find for this cache, and had a neigbour dog bark at us whilst signing this one. Nice one, many thanks.

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.
What a bowler for Australia!! His impeccable line and length earned him so many wickets [^] I loved to watch "Ooh Aah" bowl, so much excitement... you just knew there was gonna be "Early Wickets" fall.

Continuing my travels along this trail I came to this one. Some lovely views from near here.

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

Nice easy find with Wal & Ol while riding a section of the Amy Gillett bikeway. tftc!
Out for a bike ride with Pony1966 - found after a short search... despite having no idea what an ent is! TFTC
Found while out making the most of the little bit of sunshine today. A great little cache perfect for the kids to find!
Found with 2011*turtle. A quick find watched by a koala in a nearby tree as we walked to the cache. TFTC
After finding a suitable park within a short distance of GZ, accurate coordinates and the hint (Yes, we did know what an "ent" was) led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Aussie M & M for the cache.
Took a few minutes to locate as compass was jumping around.
Just in time before dark .
Off home now .

Glen McGrath they can't seem to bowl as accurately as Glen these days. Line and length. Found just on sunset. Thanks Aussie M & M for the adventures today.
Found on a day out in the hills with the sweat-wheels after finally organizing some roof racks for the car.

Out on this beautiful spring day with Loulabelle994, geodog, Mandy and muggle daughter. We walked the 7.5kms from just outside Oakbank to the last cache at Charleston. I don't think it was meant to take us 4 hrs but we weren't in a hurry. We saw a snake, lots and lots of ants, a few baby magpies, one was being fed by it's mother and another was trying to take-off to fly. There were a few muggles but not too many.
This was a nice secluded shady spot at the back of Woodside. TFTC Aussie M & M

Out with a couple of cache friendly muggles for a bike ride from Balhannah to Charleton. This was one of many caches we found on our ride today, some were easy, some not so easy, some were even out in the open. TFTC
Another day riding, today it was Lobethal and then onto the Amy Gillet Bikeway. I didn't quite make it the full way but time was not on my side. Thank you to all the cache owners for placing these for me to find.
This was find number 11 of 12 for the afternoon for me. TFTC Aussie M & M!

It was such a nice day Roguewatermelon and I went for a maintenance ride along the Amy Gillett Bike-way. Checked today. all in good order.
Had to jump a couple of fences doing this series, got a few weird looks. TFTC Aussie M&M
A great stump to stump man who has been hard to replace since his retirement. Great hide, great cache.
A lovely cycleway. I would love to try it sometime, but my bicycle is a long way away. TFTC.
The sporting heroes caches along this cycle way has been calling me for some time, so it was great to finally visit and do them. Found during OZ meG 2014. Thanks for the caches.
Zane the dog didn't like us walking past his place on the bike way.... twice. Owner trying to shut him up unsuccessfully until we had gone past after finding the cache.
Reperio at 1625.
I arrived in Adelaide yesterday ahead of the upcoming Oz Mega event this weekend at Murray Bridge, and so I headed out today for a full day of caching around the outskirts of Adelaide...and then made my way to the event site. Parked at the nearest access point and enjoyed the short stroll to GZ where the cache was found in the likely spot.
Gratias Aussie M & M.

Found by Mary & David at 1240. Lots of parrots in the trees today, squawking a welcome as we passed. Probably attracted by the eucalypt blossoms. Glen McGrath, even after cricket, remains a very public figure with his campaigning for breast cancer awareness. Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Our thanks to Aussie M & M.
Trying out the railtrail for the first time. Would you believe this was the only one we tried to find along the way?
Thanks for the cache, Aussie M & M

Find #1301
Over in SA with Tyred n Cranky to follow the TDU.
Tonight was my time to go for a good ride.
Started my finds at 1748H and got to the 19th find at 1905H. Only had one cache that I did not attempt due to muggle activity

I can't say I know too much about Glen McGrath (actually to be honest the info on this cache page increased my knowledge on him by about 98%). I actually know more about his wife Jane due to the Festival of Music in 2011 (It had a sections on heroes which she apparently counts as). I was tempted to jump the fence but Doctor Owl assured me that Aussie M & M wouldn't have made it like that so I didn't. I was a relatively easy find.

Eagle wanted to take Raven cycling on the Amy Gillett bike track. Owl graciously offered to drop them at one end and cache until they were done. Jedika98 joined Owl for company. They rode too fast, so only 6 caches got found, but it was a pleasant day anyway. The four stopped at Woodside for morning tea and despite Owl and Jedika racing off, Eagle and Raven overtook the girls as they were trying to decide if it was down there. Next time they need to ride slowly... very slowly! Owl was sure the Ms wouldn’t require fence-jumping and she was right.
Quick find on a walk through the northern part of the Woodside bike track. Lovely day - plenty of people out riding and us motley lot scavenging around for caches. This was the first stop for the day and the point and which I realised we didn't have a writing utensil. So - actually found it again later in the day to sign the log. Thanks Aussie M&M.
Went out to the sporting memories series after spotting it on my map! Not realising it was a bike trail we had to do a lot of fence jumping and commando crawling under barbed wire. Have a few cuts on my back! I'll have to come back another day with my bike so I can ride the trail! TFTC!
We each had a GPS and we each were searching in different places! Got there in the end - silly phones!
Karopi's Great Backlog Afternoon
Oh dear! I am a disgrace.
I knew I had a few caches to log from past excursions with Sylken but I didn't think I was quite this bad! (well I might have had a sneaking suspicion and a goodly dose of denial going on related to the "snowball effect" procrastination syndrome I suffer from) but now it's time to get with the program and fix the issue.
With the help of my calendar, "save for later" logs in my iPhone, Sylken's found caches page to remind me of joint caching excursions, and the freshly rediscovered lists of "found caches" supplied to me by geomum at the end of every excursion which were safely filed in my tax receipts folder, because where else should one store such lists really??? (Hence their recent re-discovery and now the embarrassed action plan to attempt to redeem myself!) I am now FINALLY back-logging!
Since some are event caches and have no doubt been archived I'm not even sure I'll be able to log them all sadly with carbon copies of this message, since to get on top of all these without the helping hand of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V would send me right back to that snowball procrastination issue!
To the cache owners/event organisers - please forgive my tardiness, and if you want to discount/delete my log, I completely understand. It serves me right for not being better organised, and listening to my mum when she [s]nagged[/s]reminded me to log my caches before!
For all your hard work and effort in hiding caches/organising events I really am truly grateful - my OCD nature wouldn't let me log my caches out of order, so once the first big block of unlogged caches was combined with the second and the job got bigger and bigger.... well you get the drift!

Having a few hours caching with geodaughter 'Karopi' on her RDO. Decided to tackle some of the 'Sporting Memories' trail. Drove to the further end and started caching on the way back as that would mean most caches were on the left hand side.
Before starting the trail we had our lunch under a picnic shelter in Balhannah. Geohubby was dressed in his usual attire....t-shirt and shorts....with no jacket/jumper of any description. We commented on how chilly the weather was....geodaughter checked the current temperature in Balhannah......8 degrees, feels like 7 A cold wind and intermittent showers meant a freezing afternoon caching.
We parked wherever the trail could be safely accessed by car, then walked one way, then the other to pick up the nearest caches before moving on to another safe park. We loved those caches we found in the series before abandoning our searching in favour of a heated car and a hot drink at home
It is nice to have a series hidden by several different cachers and a joy to have small or regular hides instead of micro/nanos. [^]
The bike trail is a credit to the builders, the local community and especially Amy Gillett.
Many thanks again Aussie M & M for another nice hide and dedication to another great Aussie sporting hero[^]

A nice series along the bike track. As we are coming from NSW we didn't have any bikes with us and were stuck to the car. This means a lot of jumping fencing and crawling little hills, a sporting memorie on itself!!

Day four of our caching trip. I joined up with friends to make our attempt on some of the trails south. We achieved many personal bests and milestones on this trip. Thanks to my fellow cachers for the company and thanks to the 'Aussie M&M' for the sporting history. Great fun. SL..TFTC
Beautiful day when we started a stop/start ride down from Charleston.
Drizzling by the time we were in Woodside, so we stopped.

Found with The Rats, FarmerFrentzen and Big Matt and Shell as part of a ‘Gangsters’ trip to tackle the many power trails in South Australia over a 4 day period.
After getting off the plane and getting started we headed for this series in the darkness. A bit wet underfoot and some challenges but we had fun re-living many great sporting moments. TFTC!

Our 7066th overall find.
Found with steeba, The Rats and FarmerFrentzen on our SA 2013 trip. After flying in late tonight we decided to make a bit of a run for the bush finding as many caches as we could. The rain held off as we made our way east, This one was not even hidden a simple find.
Thanks Aussie M & M for the cache.

Found during another invasion of South Australia with The Rats, Steeba, Big Matt and Shell (collectively known as The Gangsters).
This was one of several we gathered after hoping off the plane in the late evening on the way out to Black Hill. Although it was quite dark and wet I'd imagine this would be a great series to do on bike in daylight hours.
Thanks Aussie M & M for the cache.

Heading over to South Oz with steeba, Farmer Frentzen and Big Matt, it was great to have the gangsters back together for another SA invasion, last time we were here was 2009.
We found this cache as part of the many series/trails we found over our 4-day spree. Our trip has created many milestones, none better than our own new one-day record and a new monthly tally.
I apologise for the duplicate log, by no means does it detract from the enjoyment of finding this cache. Thanks to contributing to the gangsters invasion.

Speeding on northwards now, some lovely houses here round the back of Woodside. Thanks for this cache.
Enjoyed a day of caching in the Adelaide Hills. A beautiful day, not too hot, meant that we could do some of the more physically taxing caching without getting too hot. An interesting variety of caches and it was great to find this one.
Nice work thanks to Aussie M & M.
