Awesome, wow wat am extremely clever hide, tricky find dudes! Well thought about! Lived it!
Definitely not on the sign, but easy to find using GPS points. Cute typical micro.
Its not often you find two caches in place found with Rumpuslabs and Moxie__, tftc
Went for a hike with the family up Brown Hill and took the opportunity to nab this one on the way back down. Very cool little playground nearby too . TFTC
Very cool container ,we read interesting facts about the cliffside and stayed in the area for a while.TFTC
Found the micro lil cache. The tiny ones are always a little trickier. Great View. TFTC
found it but I am not unrolling all that stuffed inside to log it sos but great hiding
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.
The G-Crew (BFMC, Bushfire, Dromaniax, JTreeTrack2, Neville_devil, Quickhealer2 and Sims-family) 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 & TOTT, hopefully, time is the only thing that stands in our way. With 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.South Australia 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 simple to downright diabolical) have gone into this trip. Our selected matrix has evolved over time to account for other ongoing objectives.Fortunately, BFMC had a list of solved caches that gave a great starting point for our assault, 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!Thank you, Bushwalker53, for this Traditional cache.
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.
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
According to Google I have lived for 22 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 lofty 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 this if we do not make our objective.Thanks to Bushwalker53 for placing this cache and keeping it on the playing field.
Hi Bushwalker53, We found your 1.5 1.5 Micro Traditional A Quarry With A View on 29/2/2024.Find 2789 for BFMC.We were getting so good at caching by this point in our adventure that SimsFamily found not one, but two identical caches here!The 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).

Thanks Bushwalker53 for the cache. Nice view. Here with muggles, before heading into the hills.
Tftc, as tourists this was a great way to start our geocaching journey in Adelaide.
Great HideThanks Bushwalker53 for the cacheJames0116Thursday, 21 Dec 20237:57:27am ACDT3948
I cant believe I found Go Fly a Kite but then forgot to see if there were any more within my reach! Rookie error. Ill be back for this cache!
Found the cache but when I showed my employee he found one in the dirt, so we placed them side by side

Indeed the sign is gone! Will have to take this offline for a little while and scout out a new long term spot. Stay tuned!
the wooden sign that the cache was attached to has been removed
May need to find another spot for a replacement cache

This one took longer than it should have to find, but once I found it, I was delighted to sign a fresh logbook
I didn't even know about this lookout, it's gorgeous! Thanks for placing cache here.

The nanos have finally arrived! I was considering archiving this one since I found a much better spot down the hill, but realised there’s another cache in the way for the time being.
Came past to replace this one earlier today and found someone sitting in their car and playing the saxophone at GZ, came back later this evening and the coast was clear. Happy caching!

New cache is coming in the post some time in the next few days. Will be back online shortly!
After the South West Breakfast I went for a few caches.
I tried to have a look despite the DNFs. I couldn't see anything on the sign and I won't spend too long looking for a nano.
Thanks anyway.

Doesn't seem to be on the sign, and unlike last time it hasn't fallen among the gravel either. Bear with me while I order more of these disgustingly small containers
Came past with a torch tonight to find the cache on the ground amongst the gravel. Noticed the log was full so replaced with a new sheet and placed back where it belongs. Enjoy!
Nice view indeed. Found the sign easily enough but no nano in any of the hidey holes in here. Think it may be missing.
Nice quick find whilst gathering info for the nearby Earthcache. Nice view which shows me how flat Adelaide is.
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
After a quiet morning I decided to head out for an afternoon walk. It was more luck than judgement that I ended up parking right next to GZ. I had this part of the area to myself and it was a nice quick find. Some great views from here. TFTC Bushwalker53
A break in the rain so I spent some time in the morning to pick up a couple of caches.
Nice quick find here.
Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53.

Tricky find. But we had a member with a good eye. Blends in with environment. Not in a tree which was the first guess
Found with NiciDanielle. A nano!! We were recently made aware of the nano rant challenge cache and this is the first opportunity to crank it out. It has my own cachehunter twist.
Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, praise be to those who shun the heathen nano spawn and eternal damnation to those who wallow in their false glory. TFTC

This nano was actually relatively easy to find tftc.

Came to this neck of the woods to visit the gardens at Carrick Hill. Unfortunately they aren't open on Mondays!
Found this cache and several others instead.
