By 3LG on 20-Jul-14. Waypoint GC59923

Very good

Found it! Decided to clear up some unfound caches around the Mt Crawford area today. Left the car where it was and walked along to this one from the last cache. Quick find here. TFTC!

Just Paddle Chick and myself now as others have gone to the airport. Making our way to Adelaide for a couple of nights before moving on.

I think we saw archer fish at the Adelaide Zoo last week. Bullertrout and I are slowly making our way back to Adelaide, picking up as many caches as possible. TFTC 3LG#16491

Spending the the out in Mt Crawford area and enjoying the fresh air. Lots of different hides and lots of wildlife was spotted throughout the day including kangaroos, an emu and even a goat!

Thanks for the cache 3LG.

A find to soothe our nerves after being attacked by bees. Thank you!

Another cache found with richlink on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

Our last full day in the Barossa and another chilly day, perfect day for caching. Thanks 3LG.

Another chilly and misty morning out with iluvtrekking on our last day in the Barossa area. Thanks 3LG

Good little cluster of caches to eep the family happy on a winters day. A spider (real) has added to camo and protection with a plastic centipede making everyone laugh at the missus expense (mini geo practical joker) - thanks for the cache -

Lib, it is always a pleasure to find your caches. Quality and great tree selection always. I have come from Cricks Mill Road and started along Mount Road. I am so excited to boost my numbers along here. Thanks for the cache, signed and returned as found, cache in good shape. These are getting further and further from the road, but the placement is always ideal.

I mapped out a plan for the day and headed off. By the time I got to Collinswood, I had already changed directions and headed straight for the hills. I targeted the four on the hill just south of Kersbrook Cemetery. Looping back to Gumeracha and Birdwood to collect the unfound, I used Cromer Road to get to Crawford and its surrounds. A great day of caching in and around the forest, with over 50 finds and three placements. Thanks to all the CO’s for their placements and ongoing maintenance.

Tftc, left a Disney Princess. Lots of thick spider webs!!

On the backroads with Beardman 75 and Georode. Finding caches along the way back towards our AirBnB cottage.
It was getting chilly in the late afternoon as we drove along this trail.

Thank you for this hide

Found quickly.

We decided to take advantage of the late sunlight and head back to our accommodation via the back way and collect some of this series. Quick finds and lots of fun. Thanks for the cache

A quick find here, thanks for the placement!

Blah

This one didn't have me stumped at all thanks 3LG. It's freezing here today.

Found on an Autumn hike with the family

Found this on 28/3.. had issues with the app so couldn't log it then

Find was easy enough, retrieval very.. cobwebby. Cheers cobber.

I’ve really enjoyed these caches, they’re super for families, thanks for hiding them. Legs were getting weary now on these last two for today. Even though there are no caches on Mt Crawford itself, I’d recommend the detour, it’s short but not too steep, the wildflowers on the way up are beautiful.

We found ourselves in the Mount Crawford area this afternoon, with a few hours to spare. There was no better way to spend the time than to go for a walk and find some of the caches in the area. We walked about 8km and found 18 caches of all shapes and sizes with not a single DNF!
Learnt some very interesting animals facts along the way as well. Many thanks to 3LG for placing this series of caches and maintaining them for our enjoyment.

Tftc. Easy find but watch out for the ants

Last one for today. Might need to ration them. It’s a nice escape from everything up here.

Thanks for the series LíB.

Headed out for a day in the bush on the Mountain Bikes! A fun day cycling around Mt Crawford and finding a few other caches on the way home with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) ! TFTC!

With [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) available for geocaching once again after past weekends performing work and aerials, it was time for a planned out-of-Adelaide outing. We attended the nearby 5 km parkrun, and later, called past the annual pi approximate event, before heading to Mount Crawford with our mountain bikes. We then proceeded to ride up the Heysen Trail for a small segment (definitely not suitable for bikes as we walked half that), and then around the fire tracks collecting the *K9-GPS* series, *Weird & Cool Facts* series, *Animal Fiction* series, and *Animal Facts* series of geocaches. We then had a pizza dinner at Birdwood with a few final finds around there. A little windy that felt more attuned to a sunny winter day.

This cache was found whilst cycling around in an anti-clockwise direction in Mount Crawford surrounds. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG aka. [@LíB](http://coord.info/PR8KEM6) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Nice find mum tftc

I set myself two caching goals at the start of this year.
1) Reduce the number of days in my calendar that I hadn't found a mystery cache to satisfy a challenge cache.
2) Complete my calendar so that I had a minimum of 5 cache finds per day. Tick - done.

Then half way through the year I heard a whisper about another challenge cache in the pipeline that required a Multi cache on every calendar day. At that time still needed 129 days so 3) reduce those days became yet another goal.

Then Groundspeak wanted to start a streak at the end of August to get a souvenir. So I did. And I am still on that streak so I guess I now need to achieve 4) goals.

Today I needed to find a cache to continue the streak. But with no caches within 20 kms of home and having to drive 45 minutes to my target area for today I was not going to do just one! I decided on a nice little 5 km circle walk from Mount Road up into the Little Mount Crawford Forest Reserve and along the Heysen Trail for a while before taking a fire track back to Mount Road and back to the car.

Result 9 caches found and 1 DNF. An enjoyable little walk. [8)] Unless stated below all caches and logs in good condition.

Hoo bloody ray. Finally I followed the GPS straight to GZ and made a quick find. Oh dear, this must have been what Gridge was talking about. The log book was chockers. Into the backpack and hey presto. Nice new log book which I stamped and put back into the cache with the old one.

**Thanks LíB for this cache. **

Kids found this one!

Found on our day out with the geo kids. Thanks Josh and Sam

This was the main attack of the day, most of the caches were easily found apart from a few which took some searching. Some of the log books are almost full and will need replacing in the next few months.

Today I headed up north to Nuriootpa for an event put on by snappytomcats, with plans not going to plan in the morning I set off early and decided to do some caching along the way instead of doing it on the way home. But the bike in the car and decided I would go for a ride around mount Crawford then collect a few on the way to Nuriootpa. Overall a total of 42 caches for the day.

Found in a likely spot. TFTC

Had to take advantage of this nice day for a walk with Kapybeara. This was our seventh find today. Saw a big roo that had unfortunately lost it's life along the track. TFTC

More spiders ahhhhh cool spot

Love the animal facts descriptions. Most interred ting. TFTC 3LG

I stopped off here while heading to Nuriootpa for the weekend...
Left the motor running as I ran to this cache...
Cache all good but was covered in a lot of webs...I used a stick to deweb...
Thanks 3LG

Lovely spring day for a ride around Crawford Forest with Pony1966. TFTC

Thanks for the cache
Soli Deo Gloria

13:25
Port Wakefield to Mannum, approximately 150 kms or 1.5 hours; for non geocachers that is! We stretched both the time and the distance considerably and had great fun collecting some smiley tokens along the way. More variety here than at the zoo!

Thanks to '3LG' for this amazing roadside menagerie.

Found with Csaba! and SupaOrange before I had a caching name. A very late log. Turtle out.

Out after camping and thought we would pick up some caches. Thanks

This morning we headed out on a huge walk to collect caches to get to 6000 caches and that we did. It was a funny old day weather wise pretty cold with plenty of rain showers. We had a fab day and have walked about 20 km my Apple Watch is very impressed. TFTC and series

Quick find and sign

The Archer Fish was quickly 'arrowed' at 11:58 on Sat. 28 April, 2018. The log was signed and the cache re-hidden [^] TFTC 3LG

A walk after a picnic on this cold, but sunny Winter's day. TFTC

My family spent the day at Birdwood Farm Day at Chalks camping ground, enjoying the billy tea, the damper the animals and of course each other. It was a glorious sunny winters day.

Had fun riding the pushbike in the long grass for this one

TFTC. Lovely but cool day out caching while the kids are at school!! Have done some of these before but have now come to get a few more. Number 7 of 15 of these found today.

Found the fishy fish while doing an extended loop around Jenkins Scrub.

Thanks for the cache, 3LG

A quick stroll-by cache here
With so many cache finds today,
I have definitely got me caching glasses tuned properly [^]
Just like this fun fish !!

With a couple of days off and a let up in the storms we decided a walk in the forest would stretch the leg muscles, a enjoyable stroll and found after a short searchTFTC 3LG

Out doing some caching on this lovely day in Mt Crawford Forest.

Out with micaparamedic and The Drovers to collect a few more of these great animal fact caches. We did enjoy all the effort gone into the very interesting information on the cache pages and also the cache hides. The GPS led us directly to each one and with this many eyes all bar one were found quickly and we added our names as CDM to save room in the log books.
Appologies for the generic log but being out with a fun loving group we did not take note of each cache.
Many thanks again to 3LG for placing this cache and the informative cache pages.

Out with Team Crackers and the Drovers today, we had a quite day with just three hours caching as a trip to Adelaide Airport was needed to collect another member of our group for the Yorke Peninsula assault. We had a relaxed and enjoyable day with plenty of laughter and frivolity being shared by all.

Thanks 3LG for placing this cache.

Today we ventured out with Team Crackers & Micaparamedic,
to do a section of a nearby power trail, and a few others on the way.
With nice weather, and lots of laughs, a fun day was had.
We signed as CDM, to save on time and log space.

Many thanks for placing this cache, 3LG, for us and others to find.

Aussie M & M and Doctor Owl decided that a day caching in Harry was too much for them and so we headed out in Aussie M & M's car. We made our way through some back roads and over to Murray Bridge where we met CP wanderer for lunch
Then back to drop Aussie M & M off.
Doctor Owl and I then headed out in Harry, armed with Aussie M & M's magical geo tool as theirs is taller than mine [^]
We arrived back at Aussie M & M's at 5pm...as directed by Doctor Owl
Have to love a day of no DNFs and 28 caches found
From here on, it was just Dr Owl and myself caching.

Seems there is a lot of caches around this area and we spent some time doing this series of easy drive bys
Most were easy, some were harder to retrieve and they were all along this little dirt road

After enduring warm summer's days and recovering after many Christmas family gatherings, a day of gathering smileys was enjoyed. We learned more history and geology of this wonderful area

Out this way today to cache in an area we not been to for ages. There wasn't many cache out here back then! Finished the afternoon off with some quick roadside finds with some of the 'Animal Facts & Fiction' series' along with a few 'Weird &Cool Facts' ones too.
We will be back with the bikes to do the rest.

Thanks

Out in Mt Crawford this weekend with the scouts who are hiking. Lovely weather. Always so relaxing when the weather is right and you can have fires. The Geo Daughters came out for the afternoon and so after some soccer we decided to start finding some of the caches in the area. We plan on doing this over several camping trips. Today was some of the Animal facts caches along mount road.

Yes we went down to the woods today
To find us a caching prize
Oh we went down to the woods today
And didn't go in disguise
For every cache that ever there was
was gathered there for certain because
Today's the day we had a caching picnic!

So Purrfect Di and Chloe the geopup joined me for a mini attack on a seemingly tiny corner of the Mt Crawford geo map.
A nice walk, which we must do again soon, but start earlier!

Getting dark at this stage - so Mattycat cheerfully advises the others to watch their step... and seconds later tumbles over the old fencing wire near the road
So watch your step cachers!!! (Luckily only my pride was broken, briefly)

A quick find while out caching with Cows With Guns.
Thanks for the cache.

Out with Debandy caching the Mt Crawford forest on a bitterly cold day made all the worse by the biting wind chill how ever once we started hiking the hills in search of the many fantastic cache all was good. Many cache were found with many more still to find on another day, one that's a bit warmer I think.

T hanks for the cache!

Enjoying this series .. Thanks 3LG.

While the husband and Mr Parrothead were hiking in the forest the youngest Shattell and my self did some caching of our own.

Thanks for the caches and memories.

Day 3 Mount Pleasant. Staying at the caravan Park / Showgrounds
A much better day for the weather, after lunch we headed out into the forest to find caches not far from the roadside. We kept comming accross caches found by FeatherWaite today,but we did not see them.
Thanks for placing this cache 3LG
