quick and easy find. cache container is definitely not a regular, more like a micro or small. so may need updating so future finders arent confused, as I was slightly. nevertheless, thanks for the cache!
Today out and about on 93 of 100 days of consecutive days caching with a minimum of physical one a day. Using my Garmin Etrex 22X and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cache.TFTC
Thought I recognised the name when i first saw it from the badly named trio of books from Mr Adams. Nice easy find at GZ, all about timing the trip across the road.An early start today with a breakfast event in recognition of Pi Day (I went to one year and it was held at 09:26:53, how's that for Pi Nerd? Anyhow, after the event I had some chores including heading across the city to the airport and then back for other stuff. An opportunity arose after lunch for a quick hour out and about and managed a few more finds to keep my visit stats ticking over. Thanks to all COs for their hides and subsequent maintaining.
After attending the St Claire CITO event, I turned my attention to some nearby physical caches in the area. I have spent little time in this area so there was an abundance of caches from which to choose. All caches found without problems and in good condition unless stated otherwise. Thanks for the cache Zayphrog BB.# #

Found ?? 2:31pmAll good here. TFTC *Freddo*DAY 1*Little Panther* and I were out of bed at 2:30 am after having very little sleep. We arrived at the railway station at 3:30 am to catch the train, arriving at Sydney Airport at 6:00 am. Now for the pressure cooker bit, working out what we needed to do, and where we needed to go. Fortunately we managed to navigate our way to our seats. Arriving in Adelaide at 10am the pressure was on as we again navigated our way to collect our bags and locate the shuttle bus to go and collect our hire car.Settling into our car I discovered the GPS I brought was not working - grrr. To Waze we go I guess. Northward bound up the motorway and out of Adelaide, I was not excited about the countryside, it was not wat I expected, and I quickly decided I didn't really like Adelaide much. We headed to the *Barossa Reservoir* and the *Whispering Wall*, a place I had not been since I was 10. On arrival it was closed - No way !?! grrr !! Not happy Jan !! Can't do much about it, so we headed off to *Tanunda* and *Nuriootpa*. They were also not what I was expecting. But its been so long. I was amazed seeing just how big the wine region is here with grapes galore. I just wanted to come for a look for old time sake, so we didn't do much. With hands full of lollies and ice cream - the best ice cream I've ever tasted I might add [I love ice cream] - we headed down to *Hahndorf* to book into our accommodation. Dinner at Haus was a delicious crispy Vienna Schnitzel and Sauerkraut.DAY 2Off to the ***The Great Leap Forward Mega Event 2024*** at *Woodville South*. We arrived and signed the log book, enjoyed the fun gadget caches, a coffee, sausage sandwich, and chatted to two Canberra Cachers and one of our home local cachers who we haven't seen over a year. Oh, and bought some coins and other merchandise from the geocaching stall. Following on from that we went out caching and clocked up quite a few finds over the afternoon. *Little Panther* did a great job choosing the caches and navigating us to them. We couldn't possibly come to another state and not visit the beach. Some beach caches were very much enjoyed. Dinner was *Da Mario Pizzeria, Athelstone* - a nice crispy half and half 'Chicken and Chips' and 'Garlic Prawns' pizza. Then back to *Hahndorf* for a big sleep.DAY 3A late start to the day saw a cache find nearby, a visit to the Hahndorf Bakery for lots of *Bee Sting* to fly back with us to Sydney [we spent a small fortune here], and another run out to the *Whispering Wall*. Woo hoo, it was open !! I rang SA Water yesterday to ask about it. Thanks for not returning my phone call as you said you would, SA Water. Nevertheless it is open. The last time I came here I wasn't able to do the wall walk. My sister had a fear of heights and I had a fear of water. Today I have overcome my fear and walked the wall alone. I've been working hard on overcoming this fear. Next stop was the Rocking Horse at Gumeracha. I saw family photos of it, but have never been, so this was a must stop. Terrific souvenir shop. We went to the top of the horse and made some fairy floss before leaving. Some more caches were found before we returned our hire car, caught the shuttle bus to the airport, and flew back to Sydney.
Thank you for a fun adventure, getting out in nature with the nephew & pup
Had a quick drink, blew my mind but was unsure about the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything being 42?? My gut feeling is less mathematical and more personal...

A DNF to start my expedition on...? Must not be my day considering many have said it was easy. Looked every possible place it could be with no avail. TFTH
Easy one. Sorry I can't sign in because I lost my pen in the previous cache location. TFTC.
Had a bit of a worry at first that we would have to climb, had a laugh when we realised we didn’t, found with CFO. TFTC!

Thankfully not what I thought when first walking to it

Magpie wasn’t happy and swooped me so I found it and left. Fun but be careful

Easy find out with AussieGal88 today so we can claim the souvenir for the 10th anniversary of International Geocaching Day. TFTC
Quick easy find, somehow managed to avoid muggle walkers and motorists, during retrieval and return. The log needs some TLC. Thanks Freddo for ongoing maintenance.
Found by fish and family. Cache needs maintenance, logbook damaged by water. Tftc.
Out and about with my muggle friend, wandering around Adelaide enjoying this amazing weather in April!! A beautiful, balmy 30° sunny, autumn day and an amazingly warm night.
