A Day off from Vintage so it was a great opportunity to catch up with a mate go for a wander around the wetland and find a few caches
This was one of them
Cheers and TFTC hevwalker

I was unable to locate my cache, it goes missing a lot & I don't live in the area anymore, I am archiving this cache.

Found it

A great place to walk. TFTC.

Full time nomads exploring SA. Mr Felix headed out on his bike this morning to tackle some caches. Once he returned we hopped into the Geo Cruiser to attempt some more.

Found 2 caches sitting here together. [?] so I signed both the logs.

TFTC

Got two for the price of one! There are two containers and two logs for this cache. Both in good condition. Nice spot. tftc

Came back and found it on second attempt. Thank you

I really enjoyed finding this one!

Great hide. All in good condition. TFTC

Found with Erine14 while out birding!

A nice quick find during our beautiful walk looking for geos and grebes. TFTC

Nice walk and find. Tyftc. Jones Family

Nice one, cheers!

Took a little bit but found it! Left a little gift inside.
First on new log! Thank you!

The cache was no where to be seen. It has been replaced. Same area but a slightly different spot than previously placed.

I had been to a lunch time event in the city and was heading to Nairne for a puzzle solving evening so what to do in between...go caching of course. [:^]

I had a few targeted caches while I was in the hills and all of them were found without too much difficulty until the last one that was a DNF.

Had a nice walk to this one, but after an extensive search no cache was found. After previous DNF's this one may need checking on.

Thanks anyway hevwalker.

Couldn't find! Will try again one day!

This evening, I travelled to Mount Barker to visit Laratinga Wetlands (including for an organised event), find a few suburban geocaches, as well as to complete the *Hills Sculpture Trail* Adventure Lab. I really enjoyed the wetlands and it appeared to be quite popular with visitors. The geocaches visited around the area seemed to be mixed with success.

I spent 15-20 min here searching all over the place, wondering if I was missing something. A PAF to a previous finder helped to confirm that I was looking in the right areas, but alas, no cache found here today. I did find a spot where all the doggy doo was being chucked/hidden, and did have a brief search in that area, but even there, I couldn't find any cache evidence. I suspect this one has probably gone. Thanks anyway hevwalker for the cache placement.

That took more time then it shouldve to find the cache oh well nice cache now onto my next

We love to walk the dog here, millions of birds at this time of year

.

Came for an adventure with the geo-pup.
Found while gathering info for a nearby multi.
Such a lovely wetland. TFTC!
(Sorry for the extremely late log)

found after work. A short walk through the park to gz. Found between muggle walkers. quick find.

A nice walk around the wetlands with Sir Specter and mogni after the breakfast event this morning. TFTC hevwalker

Out with sir_spectre and Allister W finding a few caches in the area. I lovely day for a walk around the wetlands. I even managed to run into a friend
Thanks hevwalker

What a larf. I rounded the trees and said beauty, a decent sized cache (hopefully) and a simple log end covered by a rock. But noooooooooo, a few laps later I was resorting to scratching around like a common domestic chicken trying to work out where the blighter was.

The cache was eventually found, it wasn't all that hard in the end, I am just not seeing things well today. I did start caching at 8am in the Barker, and I was still going here at 4.30pm.

Thanks for the cache Hev, and thanks for the maintenance for our enjoyment.

Best log we've seen so far geocaching. Took a little while of searching but then the smilie was ours. Thanx

Took us way to long to find , tftc

TFTC; quick easy find, not many about today as it's cold and wet.

We were the first to find yay nice place to sit at the cross roads

Came back for another look and found TFTC )

We were out for our “essential exercise” and wanted to look for a geocache we hadn’t found previously!
In our search we found a small gecko which was looking distressed by the ants on it. Yikes! We came to its rescue and my son suggested putting it somewhere else where there were no ants. A wildlife warrior!
Thanks!

Bit of a tricky spot. TFTC

The hint was very helpful.

Will have to return and have another good look. Had the pram and two dogs today.

Sadly couldn’t locate

Cache replaced & ready to be found

Searched all over, dodging ants but couldn’t find

Find #9621

No luck today

The cache seems to have disappeared. I have replaced the container so should be good to go again.

Came and searched with MoneyDork. We looked and looked and looked. Even turned some logs over. No cache to be seen. Tried to PAF the CO, but no answer to messages or phone calls.

Darn it. Spent a lot of time looking in, under and around this one. Found 2 containers of slime and some rubbish but no container.

TFTC!

Several logs to choose from TFTC

Quick find while out for a spring walk. Love the sound of the frogs! TFTC

A trio of animals went Wednesday Wandering in Mt Barker and have now pretty much cleaned up town.

After meeting at the Laratinga Wetlands car park this was the first cache attempted with Mrs Sewer Rat claiming the prize for the first find of the day.

Thanks for the cache hevwalker.

A fish, A Rat and a snake were out on their weekly Wednesday Wanderings.
Today we cached around Nairne and Mount Barker.
Whilst continuing or stroll in the wetlands the Trio found this cache. Tftc

A very pleasant walk around the wetlands and a quick find TFTC

Tftc

It was cold, it was wet, it was miserable and I was off to see the Crows play at Adelaide Oval. I was running a little early so I thought I would go for walk and grab the two new caches in the wetlands.

Bugger a couple of buses meant the sheds were full and there were muggles walking around the wetlands in the drizzle. I had to walk past my first target due to too many muggles and ended up here instead. A short search and the cache was in hand. Now to go back and get the other one.

**Thanks hevwalker for this cache. **

My morning started with the CO as we attended a "Used 2B Coffee" event. Left event with earthlight and went on to converted a handful of suburban green dots to smilies before eventually grabbing a cache or two around the wetlands at noon.
A quick find & sign here.
A few folk were taking advantage of the glorious day, carrying their picnic baskets over the footbridge as we headed for the car.

TFTC hevwalker

Found while out hunting traditionals in and around Mount Barker.
The highlite of the day was the walk in the Laratinga Wetlands to collect this and 4 other caches.
Thanks for the cache to bring me here hevwalker

Tftc
Good hint!

Found on a mothers day caching Adventure.
Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

I decided that it would be nice to go to my local wetland & find my only not found cache.
I probably came at the busiest time & day being a Sunday and kids on bikes.
Managing to find a lull in muggle activity, I found the obvious spot & discovered a cache.
Thanks for the hide hevwalker

Almost gave up then found it, Accurate hint.

Great place

Wandering around the Adelaide Hills/Mount Lofty Ranges today, picking up caches along the way [^].
Spoke with a muggle resting nearby and watching blue birds flitter back and forth [^].

Thanks again Hevwalker.

Another hound-find

Seems we missed logging this,

A day with a Rat, and a Korf brought us to these wetlands.

TFTC.

Lovely walk
