Found it! I had solved this one on a previous visit to the area. Today I stopped to make a quick find. TFTC!

TFTC, nice hide

Nice hide.TFTC

Found during a caching trip out to the north-eastern suburbs to clear up a cluster of caches that I've been meaning to do for ages. Most caches were found relatively quickly and were in good condition. Thanks for the cache earthlight!

Got the coordinates couldnt find

As a sign that I am now an aging cacher, I will admit that I was in this area because I drove past the nearby retirement village to make an initial decision about if it might be somewhere that I could call home when I retire in a year or two. I read a previous log and soon located the prize. Cobwebs were not going to dissuade me!I do enjoy these church multis. Not sure why, but I like to do them.

Out this side of town, which I rarely visit, with Cheezel and Wayne APN, to grab a few urban caches, including many solved puzzles from yonks ago.Confirmed the original sign was missing, as we had a previous finder with us. Fashioned a replacement cache, now a tube.Cache found and log signed

Out with WayneAPN and weredunn4 today, aiming to pick up a few caches in this areaQuickly found and log stampedTFTC

Great spot TFTC

Could not find this one

Been here a few times so nice to get this off the nemesis. Compress had me on the wrong side of the road! Tftc

Big bro help with this one. Cool geo x

Another cache hunt on our 2022 South Australian Adventure.

Very busy corner here today. The area was flooded with police, an quite an "important" funeral pending.

Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-tour. We have enjoyed our time in SA, but it is time to slowly make our way back West again.

This was fun! The last church Micro I did was in Scotland with my nephew, so this brought back some happy memories. TFTC

Co-ords calculated.

Nice hidey spot.

Found during the Annual Father/Daughter Father's Day Geocaching Trip (yes its a week early due to Team Honda going on holiday).

The sun was shining, birds were singing and caches were being found

TFTC

Father’s Day is early this year due to Team_Honda being out of state next week. Therefore the yearly Father / Daughter outing of Magic[8] and Team_Honda had to be brought forward a week.
On a beautiful Spring Day in Winter we set off to collect a few Yellow Faces, we collected 10 including this one.
Many thanks to the placement and ongoing maintenance for our enjoyment.

I am fairly sure I’ve been to this church previously when visiting Adrian Mc.
Got the required info and walked to GZ. Cache found quickly and I’m glad it wasn’t nearby because I take so long to find caches there….
Thanks for the cache!

Limbage came in handy for this one. Found with PrincessJuzzy, CodyGamer19 and LogieRaptor. CodyGamer19 led the charge to the waypoint. TFTC Cool church but not a fan of the extension.

Returning from semaphore and wanted to see the church. I led the crew to the multi location.

Found out first micro on the June long weekend. Visiting another beautiful church in the city of churches with Limbage & CodyGamer19

The second of two church micros in close-to-home Tea Tree Gully that have somehow eluded me for over two years.

I’ve been to this church once before, over fifty years ago, to attend some youth group function. It was after dark, and the parents must have got the wrong date or the wrong church as there was no one there when we arrived. There was never a second attempt.

Golden Grove has changed so much since I was a kid. It was pretty much all agricultural back then. My main memory is the ramshackle fuel and fodder store that stood where the modern petrol station is now.

A great trip down memory lane, thanks for bringing me back here Earthlight.

Quick solve and find. Tyftc. Jones Family.

I visited the church a few months ago to gather the information. Coordinates calculated and I walked over to the final. I searched in all the wrong places and ended up leaving empty handed.

I returned tonight and proceeded to check all the places I checked before- still nothing. Then I turned around and the cache was staring right back at me. Now I know what the hint means. Lesson learnt for next time.

Thanks for the cache earthlight.

I gathered the numbers a while ago and while out after work made a quick find.

TFTC

Cache all ok

Another church; another multi! God’s will I understand.

Numbers quickly collected then it was just a short walk to GZ for the find.

Thanks earthlight for the cache.

We needed a cache find to fill an empty spot in our calendar, so set out and found a few close to home. Sat on the bench and did the calculations, then a quick walk to GZ where the cache was easily found. TFTC

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February.
Then came Covid-19 and caching began to take a back seat.
But with restrictions easing and socially responsible caching again possible it is time to start filling the calendars again.

Once again a menagerie of befuddled puzzle solving animals set off in search of hidden boxes, laughs and solved puzzles. And of course anything else that was near and just passing. Today there was a Starfish, a snake, a Rat and an Owl.

We were in the area but I was the only one that hadn't done this one. The Snake stopped so I could and the cache was soon spied in an obvious spot.

***Thanks earthlight for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

I needed a multi and a puzzle cache today and so 2 caches were found: 1 of each needed type
Muggle partner came out with Rex and I and we had an enjoyable couple of afternoon hours finding the caches and enjoying a short walk in Cobblers Creek[^]

Nothing like a nice little multi[^] to fill the required multi for the day
We came here and looked[^], we did maths, we found the cache

Found It!
Not the first time I've ended up here while caching. That wales puzzle has a lot to answer for. A revisit here today to have another attempt at it while also completing this multi cache. All while it was pouring with rain. At least I ended up with a find on this one though!
TFTC

Found, at the church

Found it

Clever hide!

As Co of this cache am requesting all cachers take precautions and use hand sanitizer and gloves when locating caches due to the corona virus and it's related health issues. Please stay safe everyone

After a morning of fishing with Csaba! and SupaOrange this cache needed to be found. Clever hide. Turtle Out

Had a bit of time to kill in the area so I thought I’d try a multi. Cache is all good.

TFTC earthlight

Out & about collecting caches on the last day of 2019...
Another nice church micro...
TFTC earthlight

Clearing up some local Multi's with SupaOrange. Came early to beat the Sunday traffic. Thanks

Here with Csaba!. Tra La Laaa

After the nearby Christmas event I decided to head out and tick off some Churchy caches out this way. I had a list of 5 to visit, plus added in a church Wherigo and a trad that was at one of the Churches. A bonus multi at a random chateaux too.
Fitted everything in before I had to head back home to go out for Christmas lunch with the geohusband. A very successful morning and enjoyed visiting all the Churches.
Another lovely old building here. Quick calcs and a short walk to the only place the rhino could be. TFTC Earthlight

Another early morning detour in search of a Multi cache. Back to this side of the burbs again. A quick calc at GZ leading to a nice easy find in the obvious spot at GZ.

Thanks for the cache earthlight.
Found on 13/12/19 at 7:54 am.
Find #10318.

A quick find after checking out the church and getting new co ords
All good at ground zero
Tftc

Another evening attempt with the Rat at a few of the caches that have eluded us, mainly due to far too many muggles or the lack of suitable places to park the geomobile in and around the city.

The adder remembers this place well, the days of driving limousines, a wedding here, trying to get a stretch around that crescent, hmm

Info soon gathered and a shortish walk to GZ.

Located in the only structure it could be hidden.

Tftc

Out on a night run with BlackAdders. Have been here before.
Gathered our info, did our calcs. Then it was off to GZ.
A quick find, then a stroll back to the car. Tftc

Some interesting history here [^].
Were a little surprised at the final location .
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Earthlight.

Dropped New log in when in area today.

After giving a short service to H423L and the cleaner we found the cache. And yes, I was starting to settle in. There’s no one like H423L to snap me back into reality.

Peace be with you!

Thanks earthlight and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

The cleaning roster was in full swing today so we had the opportunity to see the inside of the church. Astro spent far too long on the pulpit. To cut him short I made as move back outside to calculate GZ. TFTC

Fun little cache

We came, we rang the bell and had the cache in hand, cheers cobber.

Tftc rang the bell no one was home and found quickly

Hard one but a good one

Torchlight caching with Purrfect Di.
No muggles here at this hour!
Info gleaned and cache found after a short walk.
So many church caches...
Bless you for putting them out there.

Stopped by for another earthlight multi.
Quick calcs and find at GZ.
Nice old church too.

Thanks

Woo hoo! Very 1st cache completed with earthlight after girls lunch out.
Shown how to do a multi cache.
Tftc

A quick multi solved and cache found.
Cheers

Quick find here, cache is all good

Headed out this afternoon to collect some caches in area that I have never been or have never caches around. A nice afternoon with only a few finds along the way.

TFTC

I arrived at 9.55am. The bell was tolling. The faithful were arriving for 10am service. Busy, busy, busy. The cacher made a quick visit for information purposes. Cache found in the first place I felt.

Easter 2020 sees South Australia hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Check it out. We would love to see you there.

Last day of the streak challenge and it was great to have a new and straightforward multi to find before heading off to a family day at the show. Thanks!

Logging as found as a beta tester when mum[earthlight]placed.
Was christened in this church.

A nice quick fail when and find. What a great little rural-feel church in a place so close to the Urban Adelaide. TFTC

Day 4 Streak Week

A Member of GrandMentors found this cache.

GrandMentors is an international group of experienced geocachers that have united to help each other so they can maintain their geocaching interest as their mobility decreases.

GrandMentors charter is to help all geocachers of any age that are unable to physically participate.

Thanks for hiding this geocache.

Find 3017

The Streak Continues.

Found the information and completed the calculation and took the short walk to find the cache and sign the log.

A few years ago I attended a family wedding at this church and then found 4 geocaches on the way to the reception at the TTG Golf Club.

Thanks to earthlight for the cache.

Reel Fine Elsewhere

Only live a couple of k's away so came at lunch time. Lovely sunny day and a nice multi. Thanks Earthlight for the fun.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Saw this published yesterday, but for a weekend that was not supposed to be busy, I just could not find the time to get away from what I was doing and make the find. And there is also the Trogg factor. By the time I actually looked up the cache listing he had found it.
So, this morning I decided to leave for work early and make the detour to the area and make the find. Parked next to the listed coordinates and quickly gathered the required information and assembled some coordinates. Checksum agreed. Phew. Then wandered over to GZ where I located a cache in the first place I looked. Signed the log and replaced. Now into the office.

Wasn't at home nearby when this came out but further south visiting friends after work. When I realised how close to home it was, the visit was cut a bit short and after passing home was parking at a nice church I've passed by many a time.
After some confusion with one of the digits a quick find of a still blank log was made nearby.
Thanks for the cache earthlight

Found with clare007 and Gizmos Gang!! We saw it come up but by the time we got there Ttrogg had beaten us by an hour!!! Sorted out and then located at the final GZ. Thanks earthlight for the hide!!

Found with CPwanderer and clare007 on an urban caching day.
We visited a lot of churches and ex-churches today.
Noticed this one published while at another cache but by the time we got here we had been beaten by ttrogg.
Nice little multi and church.
TFTC earthlight

A nice day out with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang
We weren't too far away, so we decided to make a bee-line for this newly published cache.
Took a bit to figure out what we needed to do & somehow managed to fudge the coordinates.
Re-checking the numbers we found the mistake,
only to find that ttrog had already been & gone grabbing the FTF podium
Thanks for the multi & cache earthlight
