Weird & Cool Facts #35. Green Sunset. Paracombe, South Australia, Australia
By 3LG on 03-Jun-14. Waypoint GC569WN

Checked GZ, found magnet but no cache.
Looks like it's a bit of a dumping ground now and will not be replacing a cache here.

After some impromptu weeding and aggravating my back I gave up

Found on our way home from elsewhere. Tftc

Out doing some pre Rally work for the Adelaide Rally grabbing caches along the way TFTC

There are multiple arachnids on in and around the geocache do not touch

Cheers

On way home thought I'll stop do some tftc

Having a good day out with m-dolphin though we would do some on the way home tftc

Can’t find

Wet log was hard too extract and ants have taken residence.

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. How good is this country!!

LíB, I found Weird & Cool Facts #35. Green Sunset. today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

I recently completed the one cache find in each of the 360 degrees from home location challenge. I have now decided to continue and aim for five finds in each of the 360 degrees. Today I was targeting specific caches in missing cells for this challenge and a few solved mysteries along the way. Very enjoyable to be out and about in the glorious sunshine.

Found on my way up to Williamstown. All good here.

Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Found on the way to barossa taking the very scenic route. TFTC!

Thank you found this on Australia Day

Found with Leahry101, TFTC

Yep

It's the season for cherry picking. Today the whole family visited a cherry farm near Kersbrook, and tried some caches on the way. We found 12 traditional caches, and 1 DNF due to muggle activity.
This was the third find for today.
Quick and easy find.
Signed the log, and placed the cache back.
Thanks for the cache, LíB.

A bit tricky, but glad we persisted.

Clever hiding spot. Bucolic views.

Nice hiding spot.

TFTC! Fun cache to get the log book out of we said hi to the sheep and cool spot

An early start today setting my alarms for ridiculous time so I could attend the breakfast event and arrived after gridge but before anyone else, so that was a good start to the day. [^]
I had a big day planned with this event followed by the CITO then caching with locus cache and earthlight.
After a nice strong coffee I was awake and ready for the day which didn't look too good weatherwise, but the rain stopped long enough for us to collect a few bags of rubbish at the CITO. It was very cold and windy but the rain held off for most of the day and we had a fun day caching our way to the hills after picking eathlight up. We managed to get quite a few multis, a couple of puzzles and various trads that we happened to be driving past that one or other of us hadn't found.
After picking earthlight up we found a few caches close by before deciding that we would head towards Houghton. [^]

The others had already found this one but they stopped for me to make the find.

Thanks for the cache LíB.

Clever hide. Driven past so many times and finally stopped to collect this. TFTC

Easy find

Easy find! TFTC

As the weather was nice today, the youngest of the Famous IV and I decided to grab some caches in the hills...and a few along the way. All up 15 caches were found and we had time for chips and stout at the Inglewood Inn and pizza at Glen Ewin Estate as well. The only disappointment for the trip was they weren't serving scones and tea at Newmann's Nursery. The country was looking good, the caches were in good condition and the sun shone upon us. TFTC

Fun and easy cache to pick up on the way through.

Replaced log, please put log sheet back into the inner tube so it stays dry.

Bit too wet to write in log but thank you!

Log was a bit soaked so did not sign...
At any rate TFTC!

A fun day out exploring the area with @Davidwazza ! TFTC!

Today with a forecasted dry day, and wanting to take out mountain bikes to try out a new area, jesswrigley and I planned to ride the Kerrsbrook trails. I had heard good things about this area, and had a few friends to group ride in the morning. Surprising that there aren't any geocaches to find there yet, and the area certainly had quite technical downhill tracks. On our way home, we managed to find a few road geocaches, stopping off at Inglewood for a bakery lunch, and then brief stops in Houghton, and the Gun Emplacement in Anstey Hill Recreation Park. A little misty and nippy today, but otherwise not a bad day.

An interesting fact - I can't say that I have ever witnessed/recall seeing a green sunset, but perhaps I need to pay more attention in those moments. We parked on the other side of the road as we were heading back to Adelaide, and made our way across. I managed to see the cache sitting on top, which was strange since it had a perfectly working magnet that could have had it hidden away from sight. Perhaps as a consequence, the logbook was wet and the plastic bag to protect it is broken. Managed to get the logbook out with minimal tear, but the CO may need to visit this one soon on their way past? Thanks 3LG/LiB for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Gotcha

Ah lib, first one of yours today. Quick find and nice parking as always. Thanks

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

We now find our selves in the big smoke! So many more caches to find. Booked into the local caravan park for a week, hopefully doing some urban caching while here.

Australia Day, and we set off to the pub in Birdwood for lunch with family, and of course, picking up the ones on the way up the windy hill that we missed yesterday.

Quick find for us today. Thanks 3LG

Day 6 of this years Christmas holiday trip. Canberra to Adelaide to Melbourne to Canberra collecting answers to several of the windmill cache multi's. Today we toured around the Adelaide area visiting the Big Rocking Horse, Rundle Mall, Glenelg and finishing with a sunset roof climb of Adelaide Oval. This one was nice and easy to find, TFTC 3LG.

Nice cache! Thanks

Nice find on a lazy Sunday afternoon

Tftc - a nice easy find on a Sunday Arvo

Nice easy find TFTC

The first cache for the day, a nice and easy drove by without any issues.

A last minute plan this morning to go for a drive and do some caching, it was a matter of just go to the next closest cache and see where I ended up, restricted by time. I started up near gameracha and cached around there and forreston area.
Good to be able to find some caches that haven not been found for a year or so. A total of 25 finds and 1 DNF.

Thanks for the cache.

Managed to find this one pretty quickly today. Keeping a sharp eye out for snakes though.

Fairly quick find. Tftc

Quick find just take care as on busy rd. SmLl swaps. Tftc

Out with 3LG and earthlight doing a mix of maintenance and general caching for the Hidden Creatures challenge. TFTC.

We are in Adelaide for a few days. Today we are off to see the Big Rocking Horse and then on to The Barossa. Got out here and followed the geo trail for a quick find in an oft used location. Thanks 3LG

Driving to a camping destination with SupaOrange and picking caches on the way. Thanks

Nice one. The geokids left a couple of little swaps. TFTC

It was a good one to find

On our way to town today and doing a bit of cache maintenance on the way. This was a quick find and our last one for the day before reaching our destination..plus its too bloody cold! . TFTC

Found today with my Nan[earthlight] as am having a sleepover and this was on the way to her place.

Out with hevwalker caching our way for a evening event at Gawler, not sure whether we have seen the green flash, will need to pay more attention, cache was found instead

Again Beautiful weather today
Right time for me to do with caching day
Found it
Thanks 3LG

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Heading out of town for work. This cache has been taunting me for ages as I do pass by here often, especially living at the bottom of the hills. Previous attempts have been foiled by traffic preventing me from stopping, roadworks (several times) and travelling in the wrong direction. This morning however, none of these factors featured so it was the perfect time to stop and make the find. Parked adjacent to GZ and found the cache in the first place I looked amongst the green haze. Extracted log, signed and replaced. Then onwards to my work destination.
Gratias pro cache 3LG

TFTC!

An interesting cache name and description, never knew about that, will have to look for it during a future sunset.

Charged down the hill and searched for a while before making a straight forward find. A few spider webs around, but a very logical hide and a clever little hiding spot.

Thanks for the cache!

Found after a lunch at the Inglewood inn. Lots of long grass but found fairly quickly. Tftc

My 1st for the day of 19 finds (2 DNF's). I must admit in all my lifetime I have never known of nor heard of a "Green Sunset" although I have probably actually seen it over a dozen times but never knew anything about it till now. Thanks to these "Weird & Cool Facts" series, I now know something new [^] (and, yes... I will be looking out for one now, lol ) SL at 07:23 on Sunday, 5 March, 2017. Cache and contents all good bar the fact the log sheet doesn't have a plastic bag and was moist so I fixed that up with a new zip-lock bag [^] TFTC 3LG

On our way east of Adelaide we decided just to pick up a few caches as we travelled through. This one was easy to find and all was good with the cache. Thank you to 3LG for giving some interesting info on a short lived event and for placing this cache as well.

Can still see the aftermath of the fires but the long grass has regrown.

Quick find on our way to Whispering Wall. A little geotrail through the long grass led us straight there. TFTC

Out with sir_spectre collecting stray caches whilst on the way way to murray bridge. After a short search we came up with the cache.
Thanks 3lg

After an afternoon of caching with CP Wanderer, Aussie M&M and Andy Columbia it was time to head back into the Hills and drop Mrs M home. So many times I have driven this road but not stopped and grabbed these caches. Today I was driving so stop we did. [^]
A quick find and then on out way again. Too early for any sunset yet, Green or otherwise. So nothing to do with drinking to excess then???? Thanks 3LG for the hide.

Tftc nice easy drive by. Have to use your fingers to feel for this one

Not too difficult, just getting too old to bend over

With Uni break started and a nice day thought we would head out and grab a few caches. This was our first find of the day quickly spotted by V, signed log and we were on our way to the next one
