Nicely hidden, took me a few circles of the tree to find it. Managed to find a space to sign my name but needs maintenance- log is in bits and is very full and fragile. A new container wouldnt go astray either, its rusted, but is holding its own for now. TFTC!
Out and about with sir_spectre grabbing just a few more to lift my stats on every calendar day to 15 finds. Lucky I brought my own tott who could reach this one.Thanks
It's a holiday season, but I still had to go to Morphett Vale for business. Since I had some spare time before the appointment, I tried this cache as it's on the way.Parked on Olaf Street, and walked to GZ.At GZ, cache has been found easily, especially with the help of the hint.Grabbed the cache, signed the log, and put the cache back. Cache container is in good condition.Thanks for the cache, JJ52.-----**South Australia will host a Leap Day Mega Event on 29th February 2024. GCA1DNA: The Great Leap Forward. Count down: 62 days.**
A beautiful, sunny day to catch a train down south with my bike to grab some southern caches.
A beautiful old homestead watching over this cache. It’s hard to believe this once would have been paddocks with crops and stock on it.

Just one more, I meandered down here and parked in the nearby street. I entered the canopy and noted something under a dead branch on the ground. I reached for it and got stuck by the sharpest and painful tree frond I have experienced in the last 15 years. I had an immediate amount of respect for this tree, and anything on the ground. I looked where the hint mentioned but eventually found it on the ground. Signed and returned, at knee level in a safer spot. Thanks for the challenge JJ52. Find #7898
Sadly my sister and I couldn't find it doesn't help that we are really short we looked in both trees and still can't find it
Couldnt find this one today. I am height impaired but it has been trimmed fairly recently so not sure if its still here.
Stopped here and after a circle around the cache was spotted
Today we made our way down south to Goolwa for a couple of days for a family holiday. Along the way we stopped by a few caches along the way.

Haha, finally got it. I knew it would be in that spot, but actually spotting it took a while
driving past and thought i would give this one another go as last time was a DNF and it had been replaced since then.
quick find by my mum

I think I would have struggled with this one if I didn't have cachehunters height. Tftc
Found with NiciDanielle. Nice easy find for those that aren't vertically challenged.... Like me. Not to rub it or anything. TFTC

Not sure how I missed that last time

Mr Tardis was down south for the near by CITO caching event. On the way home I made a detour to find this cache. I circled around the tree a few times and couldn't find it. I eventually found it on the ground, so I put it back where hint suggested.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache JJ52.

First geocache for the excited geonieces, the eldest happened to have discovered it recently and asked if I was into it. I haven't been doing it much this year, given the circumstances, so jumped on the opportunity. This one was right next door.
Photo is a spoiler. TFTC!

Was certain my gps was wrong again as thought it can't possibly be here and looked up and there it was! TFTC
Found with the assistance of mattbrjo after he scared me from putting my hand there. Good evening walk. Tftc
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 was on my way back towards the car, and now the phone's battery was looking a little worse for wear. I proceeded along the Golden Wattle Way Trail, and made a stop at this location. The sun was just starting to set and cooling down to an acceptable temperature. I searched around GZ, and then started feeling around higher. I managed to find the cache upon my third reach. Quite a tricky hide, and I do wonder if the 1.5 difficulty rating is a little underrated here. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [@JJ52](http://coord.info/PR7ZQX5) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Found on a lovely afternoon on the hunt for smilies in and around Christie Downs.
Thanks JJ52 for the cache
