DNF. Wanting to know if it's still there as my partner and I had a long look and couldn't find
Sadly a DNF. A previous finder arrived and he couldn't find it either. Our geocaching eyes need some fine tuning otherwise it's going to be a quiet day in the 'finds' department.
Found while in the brook with dennisc52, attending an event with my grandkids.tftc
Had to wait for a muggle to finish her lunch but was worth the wait, we did a couple of others around town and came back .log is completely full . TFTC
Travelling through with jcody and grabbing a couple of caches along the way.
Stopped at the table for a break from driving and was pleasantly surprised to discover that there was a cache only a couple of steps away.

After lunch at the bakery here, went for a stroll to find a couple caches in the street here. Didn’t take long to locate this one, probably isn’t a true terrain 1 cache but I’m not one to complain. All good here.

Today I went with Michells&Hound and Gridge98 on a roadtrip up to Port Pirie. A great way to spend a Sunday. A stop off at the bakery as I was getting hangry! TFTC.
Today I headed out with CourtneyRose and Gridge98 for a mystery tour to Port Pirie and back. We travelled many kms and found lots of super caches. The gnomes at Clements Gap were particularly good.
Quick bakery lunch in Port Pirie and then back via random country towns and back roads to Adelaide.
An enjoyable day with around 45 finds for the day and the World out to rights.
Gridge told us a big story about coming to see the Giant Goana when he was a kid and the utter disappointment of finding a Tiny Goana on a pole. I was even more disappointed not to even see that!! We hunted around for a while, lying on the ground I finally spied the nicely hidden cache. Thinking there must be more than one cache as didn’t find all the recent finders names in the log. TFTC

I will never forget the story of my family frowning up coming to see the “giant” goana but sad to see it go. Hopefully it will return on a pole. After looking around the cache was found nicely hidden.
Today Michell&Hound and Courtneyrose_ and I heard north to do a days caching around port Broughton/port Pirie area. Despite the extensive amount of rain of recent and the wet roads no trouble was had and a lovely day out. Total of 46 finds plus a few labs for the day.
Thanks for the cache

Now, looking for Goanna proved rather frustrating. I mean where is he?
After searching high and low, I finally located this micro. But where is Goanna?
Using Google, I found Monitor in all his glory in 2015. Not around in 2022. Even the final location was not around back then.
Thanks for the fun, SonforceKids.

Lefty PA early this morning with iluvtrekking for the trek to Adelaide picking up the occasional cache along the journey. Didn't take long to reveal the hidey spot. Thanks SonforceKids
Found with richlink during our 2022 South Australian Adventure.
Today we moved from Port Augusta to Adelaide picking up a few caches along our route.
Thanks contributing to our fund today SonforceKids.

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.

Didn’t have a pen, so made a quick visit to Foodland across the road & bough a pack of three.
So, as the log was full, we now have a supermarket docket log.
Thanks for the find.

Out on caching adventures with Wollaston.
Took a bit to locate this one, found it on the bark of the closest tree with the lid off, have rehidden in nearest logical magnetic spot being under the table. Looks like the area has had a facelift since the original hiding date seven years ago!
The log is quite full and hopefully the next finder can pop in a new sheet to keep this spot in the game.
Thanks to the many hands and minds taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your special part of the world
Log signed in first open spot in logbook with stamp

Hmmmm, after reading “The cache is not located on the lizard or tree” we proceeded to the obvious spot only to find indeed a little magnetic container was indeed in amongst the tree bark. Go figure! We have relocated this little fellow inline with it’s magnetic appeal where it may be accessed easily by sitting and taking a break. We’re hoping this is OK with the CO as it’s inline with the description and hint. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird. It’s a great day for caching. TFTC SonforceKids

Found on a trip to Crystal Brook and Port Pirie with Team Waldron for a few days. Thanks for the cache SonforceKids!
Might need a new piece of paper in a couple of weeks but quick and easy didn’t think it would be where it was.
Crystal Brook is a lovely town. It was all abuzz today. Thanks SonforceKids.
Had missed this one on a previous trip but made a quick find and sign on a early morning walk.
We once again stopped in the free camp which is very good with clean toilets and dump point.

Over visiting family for the long weekend and took the opportunity while they were engaged to do a few caches in the area. Planned to hit the Highway passed Crystal Brook, into Georgetown and back to Crystal Brook. Was an awesome day a variety of hides, some easily found, many took longer than should have. Only a couple of misses.
Found this one some time ago, not sure why we didn't log it. Logging today. TFTC
