The original container has been missing for a while... It is time for this hide to go.
A great day with Deafcat, Deafphantom, Pwala and Crank1. Thank you for the hides. This one was hard!
6/7 for the day!
Thanks for the cache!
Went out with pineapplegoldy for a few caches. I’m thankful that Goldy didn’t mind revisiting caches!

This cache joined my DNF list a while back when it was missing. Now back and bigger than ever, this cache was mine and a frown turned upside down!

After replacing a nearby cache with a gallant group of cachers, Jolly0 & I went off to find a few more caches in the area.
Given the name of this cache we were expecting something much smaller. But it was easily found by vertically challenged Jolly0. TFTC El combo de Andy

No luck this evening. Had a feel around and shone the torch in a few spots but no luck. Felt a but suspicious so I might come back in daylight. TFTC!
I was needing a daily cache and thankfully this one was nearby so I stopped to get it.
When clear of muggles I eventually put my hand in the right place and found it tucked away nicely. Accurate coordinates.
All is well with this cache.
Thanks Andy Colombia for this cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3230 on the 30th of June 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!

No joy.

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 177. Blackwood Day 1. I was able to spend the morning caching down the western side of Adelaide and visit the Oakland wetlands before heading into town to do an important collection task before returning home for the day.
I started feeling along above my head and it was sure a surprise when I dislodged the outer container. Thankfully it fell on the ground not me, so I could assess it before picking it up and signing it.

We noticed this cache as we drove along the Anzac Highway and luckily, there was a park very close by. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of the container. However there was no log inside. We looked around and found a very saturated logbook on the ground just below the hide. As the logbook was unusable, we replaced it with a new log. The cache needs checking as the cap over the container has broken and the new logbook could get wet as well. We oriented the cache container in such away as to minimise the chances of the log getting wet but it won't stay totally dry. Thanks El combo de Andy for the cache.
Had a late evening catch up with shotflames and we dropped by here for a smiley. He was just commenting about me willingly putting my hands in places when I came out with the cache. What a cache too! The cap to the log container was missing but otherwise in good condition. Tftc Andy
Quick find here today cache is all good
This evening I headed west to clean up a few caches that were new plus a few that I had been to that just couldn’t find or muggled out.
Total of 19 finds for the evening

That scared me! Lid was missing to I put some tape to protect the logbook.
Today me and my dad went to watch the tigers vs crows SANFL match. I go for crows and my dad goes for tigers so it was perfect! This cache was found while out and about near Glenelg.
Thank you for maintaining and placing this cache!
We really appreciate your effort!

A little bit late logging this find, it was found about a week ago, It has taken me approximately 5 times to find the cache, after reading previous logs stating that it wasn't for short people and I am 5 foot 10 so I have been looking up far too high and this time I was standing on the bonnet of my car trying not to look to dodgy when I was caught in the act by 17MG17 whom I thought was a muggle as she asked me "are you ok" to which I replied "yep I'm fine" and went back to searching when 17MG17 then asked "have you found it yet", I then asked "are you a geocacher" to my great relief the answer was yes.
I then jumped off of my bonnet and together we searched for the cache and it did not take very long for me to get my hands on the cool looking cache which was not all that high up and now I can finally turn the Blue Frown into a Yellow Smiley.

On way home from dance class and swung into carpark to find someone standing on a car bonnet directly under a billboard.. being blessed with a cheeky disposition I knew I could "work this" a bit.. "you OK?", I ask. "Yep", with no further explanation offered from person on car... letting him off the hook i then asked if I could sign the log if he found it! It was then that Maicoolz clicked that i was a "friendly!"
A 5 minute feel about on my TOTT had log signed by both of us... not as horrendous as was expecting.. tftc

Not really sure about this one, the coordinates had me walking back one way and then back the other way.
Well that was a bit hairy, two couples walked past me in the fading light and I was acting quite suspiciously. Thanks el combo de Andy for the fun.
Very spooky, too scared to touch but will return one day when feeling braver

I was in Plympton for work so I chose this one for my daily cache. A great container.
A muggle worker wouldn’t move so I had to be extra stealthy.

Having read all the previous logs we were prepared to be scared, but forewarned is forearmed and geo-hubby found it with no worries at all. Great hide. TFTC
I had to run some x-rays to muggle partner, ready for his osteopath appointment tonight[^]
We had tea at Genki Sushi Bar[^][:X] and then he rode and I drove to Plympton as the x-rays wouldn't fit in his top box
Once his appointment had finished, he headed South and Rex and I headed North
Two caches were found tonight[^] and both have been driven past many times before, so it was great to be able to finally stop and find them[^]
This one made me laugh
I need one like this for my cache which has been stolen
Cache and camo were found quickly once I got the right TOTT out of the car

The final day to try and achieve my current caching goals to reduce the number of calendar days that I need both multicache and mystery caches so I can have a crack at filing the calendar for both in 2020.
Today I needed to find neither so it was just all about having a great time.
Like last year I was joining Anymules after he finished work and cache our way to the NYE event at Glenelg Beach. [^]
I actually saw this one hanging down as we got to GZ. Made for a quick find and not for a sudden surprise due to the container it was in.

I stayed back a little at work, and so once I had cycled home, I saw a few new caches had been published not too far away. Subsequently, jesswrigley and I prepared ourselves to visit those two new geocaches, and we rounded out our visit to the area to this one. The skies were about to open up and rain hard, but I had wanted to complete this one as a team, since the CO had recommended this cache during one of our previous discussions.
We parked at a nearby street, and ended up taking the long way around the corner shop along Anzac Highway to reach GZ. The description initially didn't make a lot of sense, but with the hint, we started looking in the appropriate elevations. Not much was found, and we started becoming a little confused as I started feeling around the ledges for a "micro", or even king micro. Admittedly, I did see some wires in the corner of my eye, but hadn't really looked that area in detail. Jesswrigley started looking around that area, and then yelled a large gasp (small scream) as she started to compose herself. She proclaimed that she had found the cache and didn't need to look further.
A nicely themed cache that made all sense now. The coffee shop was closed during our visit, but we were keen to return on a weekend to sample this aromatic delicacy. The logbook was in good shape, with our names added. Thanks El combo de Andy aka Andy Colombia for the cool cache placement (at least we found this one easier than your Glenelg cache hehe); Favourite Point from me, cheers.

We have been here so many times in the last few months and every time there’s been a car parked right next to the cache.
Finally a chance to locate this very weird container.

Almost forgot we needed a cache today for the souvenir challenge and this was close to home. Good to see the cache has been repaired and ready to surprise people again. Found it before but did not log as it was empty. Streak of 2 and fave. TFTC!
Out and about for the afternoon, running a few errands I decided I just ‘had’ to find a few caches along my way as well. It was a pleasant afternoon until the skies started to grey and drip, but by then it was time to head home. All caches were found in good order.

Cache #2148 . First of 3 finds today.
Today I had another conference to attend in Morphettville. After the conference, I found some caches on my way to the city.
Parked on the carpark space almost next to GZ. Had a quick check, then went back to my car to grab a pair of garden gloves in the geocaching kit. Cache has been found easily, with big surprise.
The container is there, but log sheet was missing as the lid of container was broken. Add a piece of paper as log sheet, and signed. Informed CO, and CO said new log sheet will be provided soon. Thanks for that.
Put the cache back, and run away from this scary cache.

Great cache container, had to put it out of my mind to achieve the retrieve but then it moved and I dropped it. Log signed, lid missing. TFTC
Quick detour on the way home from the parent's house... don't know how we haven't stopped here before! TFTC
It's always an advantage not having phobia's , so apart from taking a minute or so to spot the cache, it was a quick find and sign .

This was by far my favourite cache find for today. Well worthy of a fav point. Especially as Linda (3LG ) was the one who found. As you know libda am sure you can imagine her response. Was left to Skuzzybear to retrieve. Love the murals on the walls and advertising of movies. Definately an interest spot. TFTC
Oh my gosh... NO NO NOOOOOOOO... Why me? I'm the tallest and I spotted it but there is no way I'm going to touch it. Definitely not a fan of this local fauna... no way!

The king was taking in the umbrellas and chairs. The doggy drinking station was being emptied. The Indians had onions on the footpath. Astro used stealth to sneak in and find the cache in about the 5th place I felt!. Nice web discovered. I was able to do all of this in broad beautiful sunlight under clear skies. Our thanks to the CO for this one. Have missed the events here but will make an effort next time - looks like a fun spot.
I am so pleased that I had hubby, the tall one, with me as I would never had been able to get my hands on this cache. Note to self, the next time I see Andy I need to give her a hug for her ingenious cache container. SL TFTC
Ah .... champagne geo caching when you have the CO standing next to you to make sure you dont go wrong!!!!! Found the "prize" and then we ventured into the nearby establishment for a coffee!!! Thanks Andy for the hide!! .... a favourite
After a very busy caching afternoon/evening I decided on a stop here on my way home. [^] I saw this one when it was first published but hadn't been able to stop off and find it.
I knew what I was looking for, but I still jumped when I put my hand on the cache container and it fell on the ground, then it looked like it was smiling at me.
Signed the log and replaced as found.
