Something special or unusual goes here:Went for a pleasant walk and soon had the cache in hand. Smile Seen a few of these in my adventures. CoolThe Generic Bit:Another Tuesday trek with some others of our Puzzle Solving Group. [^] Today however was mostly about clearing some new caches up near Blackwood that involved a TOTT. Razz So I met S.A. Sewer Rats and Ttrogg at the Wittunga and we then set of in search of everything we were close too.

I was at day 3 of a migraine but I needed a cache, so when I saw a window of improvement and decided to take it.I drove to the closest cache that was a short walk or drive-by. Which was this cache. Anyone who's ever had a real migraine would know what it's like, so thankfully this cache was near and wasn't far to walk.I got to GZ and a small dog was watching from the other side of the fence.It barked NON STOP, I've never heard such a loud noise from such a small dog.It certainly was hard to be discreet about it here, thanks to the dog. The locals came outside to quiet down the pup and saw me there.No questions were asked but I wonder if they think something odd is happening here if this happens regularly. The cache was quickly located and the log book was signed. I haven't seen one of these types of cache containers in a while, so it was good to find one.It's a nice spot too. Thanks for bringing me here.Thanks DunWorking for this traditional cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3661 on the 15th of October 2023.CITO's are a brilliant way to help keep our community area's clean. The Earth is our playing field and we need to protect it! Always be sure to cache the "leave no trace" way!**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

Very nice spot, well hidden, TFTC.

Weel done
 
01-Jun-23
Walked all over GZ with no luck and then just as I was about to log a DNF tried one last thing and it proved to be the right one.
This is an excellent idea for a cache. Signed log and placed it back where I found it.
TFTC.

*Find # 398*

I found one like this many years ago when I first started caching. Love them!

This park along the creek is absolutely beautiful, having your house back on to here would be fantastic.

Thanks Sandalwood Cottage!

12-Feb-20
Definitely not your normal hide but I have seen a lot of these and walked straight up too it.

This evening Davidwazza and I headed out to collect a few caches in and around flagstaff hill and Woodcroft.
All the caches that we’re found are in good condition.
Thanks for the cache
 
11-Feb-20
This evening, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) and I headed out to collect a few caches in and around Flagstaff Hill and Aberfoyle Park. It was a mixture of driving around residential streets for park and grabs, but then we had a few adventurous tree climbs with the use of a TOTT for some high terrain fun. Not a bad evening.

A nice walk along this gully area. By the time we started looking, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) had already made the find. A sneaky hide. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, thanks Sandalwood Cottage for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
 
10-Feb-20
A bit tricky!

Searching with Lord Demon Bolt (8yo) who really loved this cache. TFTC

Found - hint magnet
 
27-Nov-19
TFTC. After about 20 minutes of looking we found this one. Difficulty needs to be increased though and perhaps a hint. Big help from Aidan in finding this one.
 
02-Nov-19
Thank you for the hide. Sat catching our breathe and sent the biggest kid over. 2nd one of these we have got
 
14-Oct-19
No.8! After searching for the cache in the wrong location in the rain, we were about to give up when I remembered finding a similar cache before, and so the log was signed!

Cache #2275. Fifth find today.

This Sunday, we went to Sturt Gorge Recreation Park for hiking and geocaching. Tried Coro+ Combo Circuit.

Found this cache on the way. As there were so many DNFs of other cachers, I'm not sure if I can find it. However, it's much easier than I thought. Found the cache in the second place I checked. The difficulty rating should be much higher than 1.5 stars, especially for the beginners.

Signed the log, and put it back. No one was around, as it starts raining.

Thanks for the cache, Sandalwood Cottage. Nice secret.
 
31-Jul-19
We've looked here so many times but can not fing it, could it maybe have a clue?

04-Jul-19
Found on my second visit, very sneaky geocache!!! Such a great feeling when I finally found it Smile
 
02-Jul-19
Searched for about 30 mins with my partner. Followed the exact coordinates and still did not find. Would love a hint or updated coordinates
 
30-Jun-19
We came we looked, No success. Maybe a hint would help with all the dnf as we felt like we were running blind.
 
28-Apr-19
Found it on second attempt!
 
28-Apr-19
Searched for a while can’t find it. It really needs a clue we were going of nothing

15-Oct-17
As it was another lovely day I decided to go out and get a few stray caches and this was one of them. [^]
After spending way too long finding the other one this one was spotted straight away. Cool
Thanks for the cache Sandalwood Cottage. Smile

Searched within about 20 meters of the listed coordinates after reading that the coordinates were out by around 14 meters but found nothing. Eventually searched where the Garmin arrow was pointing & made a quick find of this sneaky cache with coordinates about spot on
Worth a favourite point. ----SL----TFTC
 
Found it this time with a little help from diggemup tftc
 
13-Oct-17
Wasn't sure what I was looking for. A quick find as I've seen another like it. I was expecting a different style of cache more similar to the last. Tftc
 
09-Oct-17
We are only new to geocaching. We found the 0 meters but could not find anything else.
 
03-Oct-17
A clever little hide in a great spot

A drive and a walk in the park in the dark with Moneydork tonight.
Quite an attractive area with an attractive cache too.
