I couldnt grab this one early as there was a muggle working in the nearby paddock and I didnt want him to see what I was up too.After a tasty pie and sauce for breakfast I headed to a known location to pick up some rubbish, enjoyed a colourful sunrise and poked a bear . It was then that I decided to make the most of this early start.I headed home, hopped on my bike , rode a couple of trains and followed a trail of caches into the vines .A most enjoyable day/night down south finding treasures.TFTC LBKeep smiling
Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. We're staying in in the area for a few days, hunting down some nearby caches in this lovely part of SA. We walked the track enjoying all around us. This is the best of the OTD series that we have completed. Thank you. LNCU
Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Aldinga for a few days and ranging from there to grab some finds. Scored a beautiful day after a couple of chilly ones. Thanks for the hide LNCU
Great day to finish off this series. It is a lot cooler today compared with the rest of the week!
-sticki <3Lots of soursobs covering any trace of a cache, will have to come back another time..
Perfectly sunny day for a pedal Prob did 16 or so kliks from McLaren Vale to Old Noarlunga return - map showed 13km as the crow flies. Mixed results on the caching but picked up the pace closer to the coast. A swag of DNFs near my start point on the Shiraz Trail Then back to the Shingleback winery a bit later for tasting after I stowed the bike on the car.
Impressed with the good coords. Liked the containers for ride-by caching. A couple of hides with a Terrain rating of mountain goat but I was wearing runners. One butt slide to get back down to the track. A few waves and strange looks from others taking advantage of the balmy weather
Saving the other half of this trail for another day
TFTC COs Couldn’t have asked for a better excursion today.

Always keep your chin up. It could be worse. You could be Agatha Christie.

Out for an afternoon caching on the bike today. Made my way through the December series without too much trouble. Tftc!!
I identified GZ for the Dec 13 and then bolted here just as my phone died. They’re getting trickier in the fading light.
TFTC and series LíB.

It was a beautiful day for a walk along the Shiraz Trail in the company of The 4 Hawks and Moose 3. With the sun shining and a nice cool breeze we collected all the caches in this series between South Rd and Victor Harbour Rd. Thanks for taking the trouble to put out these caches.
Camping at Mt Compass for Easter today Mr Felix decided to cycle from Willunga to Old Noarlunga picking off caches as he went. Great day out but boy was the cycle trail busy and by the time he finished it was 33degrees and a bit warm. [B)]

Wow we never realized Agatha Christie disappeared and then turned up, wonder if it was a publicity stunt haha. Mrs Kookacrew has read many of her books over the years, not successfully guessing the murderer too often.
We found a nice healthy fig tree along the walk but we guess the birds will get most of the fruit but it would have been nice for it to be ripe today. Nice cool day but the sun is warmer than expected.
December 14th Is…
Monkey Day
Monkey Day is an unofficial international holiday celebrated on December 14.[1] The holiday was created and popularized in 2000 by artists Casey Sorrow and Eric Millikin when they were art students at Michigan State University.[2] Monkey Day celebrates monkeys and "all things simian", including other non-human primates such as apes, tarsiers, and lemurs.[3] Monkey Day is celebrated worldwide and often also known as World Monkey Day and International Monkey Day.
National Bouillabaisse Day
Although the origins of Bouillabaisse Day don’t seem to be pinned down at the moment, the dish that it honors has been around for generations. When it first came about, it was being made by fishermen in Marseilles who would use rockfish to help make a tasty soupy dish. Rockfish, and other fish like it, were used because they were often too bony for the fishermen to be able to sell to markets or restaurants – and as the saying goes, waste not, want not. Because of this, bouillabaisse is a meal that you might have to eat while being careful to pull bones out as you go along, depending on how authentic and traditional the chef is being.
Bouillabaisse was first coined before the 17th century, but a soup very similar to the one we now know was recorded as being made back in 600BC, when the Ancient Greeks who founded Marseilles ate a fish stew simply made from ingredients around the region.
How to celebrate Bouillabaisse day
As always, the simplest way to celebrate a day like this is to rustle up your own bouillabaisse!
You don’t have to use the bony rockfish that its creators used when they first cooked it – any white fish will do. If you want to be very authentic, you’ll need to serve it up with the broth and the fish in separate dishes and alongside some rouille sauce – although if you do go to Marseilles, you’ll find that plenty of cooks argue over what really is the truly traditional way to present it!
Fish that is best to be used in a bouillabaisse are firmer fish, like haddock, halibut, cod or sea bass. It’s also customary to pop in other seafood if you wish, such as mussels or squid.
The broth that makes up the key part of this wholesome dish is mainly made up of tomatoes, oil, orange peel and a dash of white wine. Why not experiment with the broth as you’re making it, and come up with your own twist on this regional favorite?
Roast Chestnuts Day

On the 14th of December, it's time to honor the humble chestnut. Or specifically, mark the time-honored tradition of roasting chestnuts round about the season of good cheer.
Thanks Lib for the cache, TNLNSL

In Port Elliott today, great day for caching, back to McLaren Vale today to finish off the December run before the heat hits later this week. TFTC
Put the sweat wheels on the car today and headed south, with primary aim being a couple of trads left in the O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park which is in my 42K circle from home. After that I headed further south to the December OTD series where the bike would also be useful. Ended up finding all 25 left in the series.
Thanks LíB for the cache and the series.

Down South again on this Perfect, Sunny but cool day of Wednesday the 9th of September 2020, i decided to finish off this the "OTD December" Series having done the rest from 17 December upwards a while ago. Pls note, all hides were found and were in good condition. [Some moisture-munchers were added where they were missing in some of the caches].

Decided to go for a walk today and had a look on the map and this OTD series looked good! started on sth rd side and convinced myself that I would go to the bridge and head back to the car.. but I ended up walking all the way to Victor Harbour Rd, Mclaren vale and back! Seen a fair bit of wildlife, snals, bugs, a RED BACK SPIDER, Kangaroos, a FROG and some sheep! TFTC! The RED BACK was at this location under a rock! Luckily.. This cache is NOT under a rock
