Time to go…

Dont have a container on me today.... Will be back soon

In need of some TLC no lid anymore and book very damaged.

Found it on a nice country hike, beautiful to get away from the sounds of civilisation.

Thanks for the cache

However cache is in urgent need of repair/replacement. Log unusable and lid missing.

.

nice little hide.
lid is broken and there evidence of the log being wet.
it could do with some maintenance especially if rain is expected.

Nice easy find

A nice, quick find with hevwalker and friends on a humid day.
Thanks for the cache azzo7777

Enjoying catching up with clare007 for a caching day down around the Port Noarlunga area. My semi-muggle friend, Bron came along for the drive. It was a hot & humid morning. We started with the Adventure Lab caches then found regular caches.

A nice easy find. The logbook was a bit damp but still able to sign.

Found while touring around the Hackam area and along the northern edge of Onkaparinga Gorge for the afternoon. Thanks for the cache Azzo7777!

Really easy find. TFTC

Quick find, thanks azzo7777. Log book completely soaked, unable to sign, needs replacing.
Word of Caution to fellow geocachers...there is a extremely angry property owner who lives in the first property on the left heading down States Rd soon after GZ.
I received a beating of verbal abuse and verbal threats while walking on the opposite side of the road past his property. He also took photos of myself and my car while shouting relentless abuse towards me. Please park a long way before or past GZ and enjoy a walk to avoid what I received today !

Found it

Helpful hint had this one in my hand quite quickly. Log is looking a bit worse for wear - these containers aren't water proof - but i still managed to sign it. TFTC.

Beaut arvo for a walk in ORNP with Wal & Ol. TFTC!

Sunny Saturday drive and walk with Pony1966. Quick find, log is manky, but plenty of room to stamp on top

TFTC

Had to try this one a couple of times due to mugged. TFTC

Put the bike on the back and headed south for some caching today.
Started with a short walk into the Onkaparinga River Recreation Park for 2, including a FTF.
Then parked in Hackham West and headed off on the bike. Found another 11 before a sidestand malfunction led to a flat tyre in Onkaparinga Hills and a 4K walk back to the car during which another 2 were found.
Then on the way home, well after dark, another 3 were found.
This one was a bit wet, took a stamp but a ball point would have been a problem.
Thanks to azzo7777 for putting out this cache for me to find.

Aaw we used to come here when the nearby property had nothing but young deer growing up. The daughter used to call them Darlings, bit of a mix up between deers and darlings but it was sweet. No one around today to see us snooping in the trees, another Azzo cache off the list, we haven’t checked how many the CO has hidden but as we try and clean up a few spots we keep coming across these caches. Well done on the hides, we are enjoying the spots we are finding your caches. Mrs Kookacrew grew
Up not far from here, still love the area. Thanks Azzo for the cache and the maintaining of it, found, signed and replaced it safe and sound as found. TNLN

Easy find in the dark tftc

Found with Carly

Found with chlo_bo30

Easy find Levi and I love doing these together! TFTC

A quick stop here on my way past, cache was easily found and is all good

Today with my own event on at the pancake kitchen in Renella, I decided to do a few caches before hand on my way there, after the event I went for a drive with Brad&Janet to Aldinga before leaving on my own for a walk in Onkaparinga. Total of 31 finds

Thanks for the cache

This cache looked a bit like it was only just hanging in there to me, but then I see that it’s well over a year old, so what do I know? Thanks azzo7777.

Signed as WP9 for Whitepaws9

Quite exposed

Easy find get some nice horses

No pages left in cache so I've added another piece of paper for people to write on. Also left a lolly.

Out for a morning around Onkaparinga Gorge to try and reduce the numbers.

About 3 hours later I had made a small dent. Will be back for more.

I never understand why these are always so close to houses when there are plenty of other places.

TFTC

Looked everywhere couldn't find anything

Quick find but sneaky position.
Log looked pretty full and was a bit damp.
Thanks!

There was a little bit of madness here. TFTC

Blissfully quick find TFTC

A great day out with @Davidwazza after the nearby CITO! Really trying to fill out the D/T grid,
and excited to find another of these great Tree Madness caches!! TFTC!

A nice day geocaching and hiking south of Adelaide. [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I began the day visiting a targeted D/T 5.0/3.5 cache that I needed for my fourth D/T loop, and then we attended the Morphett Vale CITO cleaning up the rail trail bike path park with a fair amount of litter and rubbish around the place. From there, we then headed south to Onkaparinga River National Park and walked down to the gorge / Punchbowl area. A spectacular area, yet some leg burn with the downhill/uphill treks. We then enjoyed a nice Port Noarlunga bakery lunch stop, before making a few last stops returning home.

Another geocache in the famous *Tree Madness* series. I enjoy those geocaches that need a tree climb rather than just a quick park and grab, and unfortunately, this was one of those latter ones. The cache was quickly located within a few minutes. The cache container and logbook were in good shape (although the logbook is getting full, so probably needs a CO visit and replacement logbook soon). Thanks [@azzo7777](http://coord.info/PRQR72Y) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Thanks Azzo7777.

The usual wednesday Wanderings with a small menagerie of the puzzled puzzlers animals, We missed the company of the Starfish as he had more pressing arrangements to tend to
We had a number of target caches and a couple of targets to achieve.

Eventually finding the right tree the log was signed and replaced.

TFTC

It is time for Wednesday wandering, for a small group of geo animals.
The plan was for the Blackadders and SA Sewer Rats to meet Doctor Owl down south.
Once the right tree was located. it was an easy find. Tftc

There were 3 aims for today's Puzzled Puzzler day out: christen Owl's new ladder, finish Blackadder's first D/T grid and SA Sewer Rat's second, and a couple of her calendar challenges. All 3 were finished by morning tea time! This was part of the afternoon wanderings and a quick find once the right tree was located.

This tree could be locked up in James Nash.

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.

Thanks

Not far from home but I was on the Simpson Desert when this cache was published. Thanks again azzo.

A quick easy park and grab which is good given the proximity to the nearby house. I don’t have a lot of faith in the longevity of this hide.

Thanks for the cache azzo7777.

Fathers day and daughters birthday meant a few caches for the day. What a day to spend driving around and doing something we enjoy together.

Nice quick find by the geodaughter . She even tried to get the horses nearby to come to the fence.

Thanks azzo7777

*FTF* with my daddy and Alister w.

This was my 1st FTF for the day and I even grabbed the FTF certificate and tried to pat the horses.
Thankyou

Saw these new ones published and as I had to go to the shops I stopped off here to get this close to home cache on the way. [^]

A quick find here with the sounds and smells of the nearby horses.

Thanks for the cache azzo7777.
