Had an appointment down this way today. Nice weather so left early to grab a few caches on the way. Took a little while to find, longer to get the log out. TFTC
Found! A very nice park and hide, and also nice camouflage!
Thanks for this cache!
Thanks for this cache!
Was a little tricky to spot but found it. A billy goat came trip trapping across the bridge while i was under it...i wonder what they would have done if i jumped out and acted like a troll? Haha was tempting. Tftc
Lovely Sunday afternoon walk with the geo-pup. Intrepid Ol made the find while down among the trickle! TFTC
In the area today visiting Adelaide from Melbourne. Parked nearby and walked down to the bridge. The creek was flowing fast due to the rain. Quick inspection had me spotting the container. Quick retrieval, SL and replaced as found. TFTC!
Quick find for us today, was worried about the string of DNF's but soon spotted the cache blending in well in the shadows TFTC Wanderlust0701
Missed this one when we came by about 18 months ago [B)], but it was a quick find today [8].
No idea why we didn't see it last time [)]. TNLNSL.
Thanks Wanderlust0701.

Found it with my wife. Didnt write in log as Pencil was broken and my pen was'nt working. TFTC
Found it with Cachehunter and Zoe the dog. Cachehunter jumped in and passed up for a quick sign a before a muggle and muggledog came along
Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the GeoDog. Had to get the Torch out as its getting dark, but found it quickly enough. River dry too which was a bonus! TFTC
The "river" was flowing today. Just enough to muddy the boots. Cache high and dry!
Thanks to Wanderlust0701 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Out & about with clare007 after I finished work for the day...we headed South...
It was a bit hard to see initially...there are many webs...spotted from the opposite side & directed clare where to place her hand...a little wet under foot but achieved the objective and got the smiley...

Out & about with hevwalker caching around Aberfoyle park/flagstaff hill.
We looked almost everywhere, but hevwalker spotted a well camoed cache.
Thanks for the hide Wanderlust0701

If this cache is where i think it should be, i fear it may have been washed away last night after 63mm of rain! Ah well, will check next time im in Adelaide.
Not too difficult to see. More difficult (with flowing water) to retrieve.
Thanks for the cache Wanderlust0701. Found on 26 December 2016 at 12:25 pm. Find #3554.

Out caching with Dr Owl after the Halloween event. A nice easy find in the expected place TFTC 30/10/2016 4:30 pm Find #1595
After attending a nearby event, Owl was keen to add to the smiley total. Having met KiwiOzzie at another cache, the two joined forces. This was the expected location and KiwiOzzie volunteered to get muddy knees. (For which owl is grateful.)
Had a bit of spare time this afternoon and as the sun was shining I decided to go out and grab a few caches. [^]
Took a little while to suss out where the cache actually was...going from one side to the other and back again. Cache sighted from one side, then across to grab it.
Nice to see water flowing in the creek today.

This one has continuously come across my radar as a reasonably close to home, un found trad and needing a find for the day I could ignore it no longer. A short drive to gz later and I had a fair idea of were I was ment to be looking and had the cache in hand after a few seconds. A nice find on a grey afternoon.

About to give up but then 'ping' It was right in front of our eyes, Well camouflaged!!!!
We thought we had found it, But it wasn't. We found it floating down the river. We found another geocache down at the bridge. We logged that thinking it was it. Later that day we were walking in the creek when my cousin picked it up and we realised that was. it floating down the river. We are taking home the original ' I am a river' CODE: GC6A8GE to dry it out then we will put it back in its original location. Once we have put the original back at its original location. you will find 2 geocaches their.
An unexpected SMS from Moneydork resulted in an unplanned caching run
Within a few short hours, I'd found 17 of the 18 caches that we looked for although I will conceed that Moneydork touched a few of them before me
After a wet day, the night was surprisingly dry with almost no precipitation however the winter soursobs were everywhere and they were pretty darn wet especially since the sandshoes I'd thought were in my car weren't and so I ended up caching in sandals
Slippery slopes, slippery sandals and wet jeans that were heavy enough to fall down were the order of the night
Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.
What else do you do to find a cache near a creek bed in winter but stand in the river of cold water!
My sandals were already soaked so a bit more water wasn't going to make a difference.
With one of us on each side, it was a pretty quick find

Saw it from metres away. Not a difficult find. Was unhidden so made it a bit less obvious.
I found a river, walked along a river, found a bike and a stack of fire wood in the river, walked farther to gz, found a cache but had to crawl through a puddle to get there. Wet knees isn't to bad, I have waded through a river in winter for a cache before.
This was a really nice location and not just for a cache. Plenty of room to run and play, or just sit and relax .
Looked all around for the cache - underneath from one end to the other, then around in the nearby trees, but without luck . Looks like there's been a bit of water through here recently .
We'll keep watch to see if anyone else finds it before returning again .
Thanks any way Wanderlust0701.

Looked high and low for this one but no luck. The river has just flooded and new boards have recently been fitted to the bridge. Maybe contributing to its absence.

Mr Tardis stopped by here for a quick cache today. A nice park I've never been to before. After a quick search I found the cache on the ground. I tucked it back into position.
A nice cache and location for your first one - keep them coming!
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Wanderlust0701.

Found with 2011*turtle. A quick find. I live in the area and had not known about this park. TFTC
Found it easily after I checked one of my caches. Nice park.
Thanks Wanderlust0701 for the cache

A river with many eyes on a Public Holiday morning!
Foind quickly and left.
Nice spot for ball games here, and all the houses seem to have this park as their outlook!
