StreetWalkerNZ and I left Nuriootpa by 7:30am to head back to the Anna Tommy series which we had started on Friday.I noticed when we found some Barossa grape trail caches later in the day that miniature irises seem to grow wild by the side of the road. None here, though it would have been awesome if there were. TFTC.
Bike-riding for the afternoon with thirteen of these caches as the targets.Strangely, the roads were busier than we've seen during the times we've driven here!The puzzles for this series had been burning away in our brains for years until one of our team had a Eureka moment on Saturday the 10th of August. We'd been toiling away on some other GeoArt and a thought occurred that had not been checked. At last, we had our answers! A little bit of a struggle for the first four, then some more research to get an exact match: it was all smooth sailing from there.Please excuse the copy and paste.TFTC Skuzzybear and Blackadders.
13/08/2024 2:39:00 PMI grabbed a few pieces of Anna I headed back towards Adelaide, all were dry and in good order unless specifically noted.Thanks addersbear for placing and maintaining this series.Find recorded using GCDroid and logged using GSAK

After a nearby event, doineedthis and I headed into the wilds of the Gawler Belt where we had solved a mystery or 40 and just had to find them Cool fact: 9 per cent of people have green eyes, while 45 per cent have brown eyes, 18 per cent have hazel eyes and 27 per cent have blue eyes.TFTC addersbearKeep smiling
Out with Jolly0 to complete this seriesIris, she was a friend of my mum. She was married to Alastair, but that didnt work out. She re married Rab, no, not Nesbitt.
Day 3 of 3. After completing the nearby bike series, we drove to Nuriootpa.After completing the Barossa trail, we set our sights on the Anna Tommy series.FurfacesLL & Rapidlywild had previously done them so we headed of with the other teams.We stamped the log as 'The Mob' to save space and time.'The Mob' this time included:- feathertop, GoodLook, TheDame, and ourselves.Signed and replaced as found.Many thanks for placing this cache, addersbear, for us and others to find.
It was Day 3 and our large group of cachers known collectively as The Mob were ready to tackle the Anna Tommy caches. Members included The Drovers, Goodlook The Dame and myself. We had a Mob stamp.A clever series of caches that were solved via a website quite some time ago. After a morning in the Baroosa we crossed in the Gawler region and tackled thi series.Most hides along dirt roads but some along bitumen roads with lots of roadside rubbish.Nice ontainers tethered to bushes and trees and easy to spot. All in good condition too.Logs stamped as The MobThank you so much for the series!
Another song prompt - Goo Goo Dolls song 'Iris', simply brilliant.After starting the day doing the first 10 in the PATOGs I found 3 more at the Gawler end before attempting to reconstruct Anna, or Tommy. Good to be caching over this way again. I will put specific cache-related comments as I post. I seemed to mostly sign in just behind NZ cacher bullertrout. I also signed alongside some geo-stamps which took up 4 or 5 lines. Sad to see so much fly-tipping on the quieter back roads, some wasn't even dumped off the road but on it. A nice day to be out and about though.The last full day in town after my original plans to stay til Monday were changed. I had some admin stuff to tidy up before I could think about doing anything for myself so those were attended to via some messaging to and from NZ. I headed out for a walk along the cycleway besides the Expressway and managed a first few PATOG caches, esp nice now the weather has dropped to a much more palatable 19 -25 degrees for the daytime, yay. Following that it was back for some more work stuff before heading out to Gawler to head around the delightful Anna Tommy series of caches (and collateral extras). I was lucky that a recently made acquaintance was able to help me with the series of solves, thanks sooooo much for that. Then it was time to cache in the richness and make the finds, I was not disappointed. And so South Australia, so long and thanks for all the cache(s). I think this March will be my most bountiful month since I started caching, not bad considering I missed out on 3 days, by choice, and today is only 20th of the month. Alas my NZ pickings are slim so back to a more sedentary pace of finds. One last time, thanks to all the COs whose finds make this game so awesome.
In the area mainly to complete the Anna Tommy series. This was #19 of 44.Rented a bike at the Gawler Visitor Info Centre. Did 36 km total. And always into the wind. Took me about three hours. No problems here.
Back to caching by myself now. Heading over to Port Lincoln way as never been over that way. Not aiming on getting big numbers.
I had solved some of these but hadn't had time to solve them all before the trip to Austalia. And then I joined in with NZ_B and MrMcgoo (they signed as mmnz) and found a bunch, and now I am on a maintenance run with the CO to fix those that I identified had problems and to find the rest.A great drive around the back roads.
Today Mr Mc-goo and I have completed the grape series and are now spending the afternoon finding the Anna Tommy series. I enjoyed solving these puzzles in New Zealand initially to help two other kiwi cachers, but then I decided we would find them as well.Some will also be good for the 81 grid challenge and for challenging module of the [GC30AD8](http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC30AD8) DGSC Challenge (West Coast) challenge in NZ - known as the Doctorate of Geocaching Science. Each log is signed MMNZ.Mr-Mcgoo and I are visiting Adelaide for the Mega GCA1DNA The Great Leap Forward on the 29 February. We are finding caches for the fun of finding them, or we are targeting specific caches - puzzles we have solved and caches that will help us complete challenges. Of course, there will be lots of laughter, no doubt at my expense .A huge thank you to all the COs who have placed the caches we find and log today.Kia ora rawa atu for the cache opted-out user.
(9624) Today NZ_B and myself decided to complete the Magical Unicorn and Barossa series together with starting the Anna Tommy series. A warm day but we achieved our days targets. Signed the log as MMNZ.Thanks opted-out user for taking the time to place this and for bringing me here.
Travelled to Adelaide with friends for The Leap Year Event and my first trip this far south. Lots of Art to find now that we have the co-ords sorted and all logs signed as Unicorns which was RoddyC, hatzofff, snickersallen, grannysmith1947, patrol14 and Imbunda. We're having a ton of fun down here. TFTC
I was the Tasmanian Member of a group from Queensland, ACT, New South Wales and Victoria that decided to look for this series after having a snack at the Tanunda Bakery. Having solved these puzzles and learnt a lot about anatomy in the process quite some time ago it was time to complete the process by finding the caches. To save space the log was signed QANVT. I appreciate the great effort you have made in placing and maintaining these caches for our challenge and enjoyment.

Logs signed as 6 for Qld to save space.Team members, RoddyC, hatzofff, Snickersallan, grannysmith1947, Imbunda and myself.Today we have ventured out to the Barossa Valley to tackle the GeoArt caches out here. Beautiful countryside and love seeing all the animals.All caches were found in good condition. Many thanks for placing these caches.TFTC addersbear
On a road trip with geo friends from QLD for The Great Leap Year Forward Mega 2024.It was a fun, action-packed day, with many cachers teaming up to gather geo art and various other caches along the trails.Our logs were signed as team QANVT to spare room on the log sheets and to speed up the process among the car pools.A special thank you to all cache owners for placing such good caches and the ongoing maintenance on them. Your efforts are a credit to the geocaching community and gives us many smilie faces on our map ????
Out and about after the One day Mega and an early morning event we are heading up to the Barossa for a day of adventure in the geoarts.Caching with and signing as the group 'Unicorns' and having a great day.TFTCache addersbear
Ive headed to SA to attend the Great Leap Forward mega in Adelaide. So far our journey has found us in Bendigo, St Arnaud, Halls Gap and Mount Gambier, Millicent and Victor Harbor and lots of places in between. Ive targeted some geo art on the way over including the GV2020 and crayfish series, wine glass and wine bottle and challenge series. We are targeting another geo art series today, signing as QANVT which represents Queensland and ACT northern territory, Victoria and Tasmania
After attending an early morning event in Walkerville I headed out as part of Team QANVT to attack the Barossa Geo Art series a spot of lunch at Tununda bakery and off to attack the Anna Tommy seriesHad a lot of help with this series so wont be much help to anyone on the mysteries of the solving techniques.This is the first time Ive completed a piece of art as part of a team, a lot of fun and a great crew of people.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this series available to be found.Cheers
Anna Tommy - IrisAfter completing the Grape Art, we had a lovely lunch and headed to visit Anna.Still with our crew, we signed the log as QANVT.Thanks for placing these caches for us to enjoy.# 9990CheersWillis007
Signed as part of QANVT, super stoked to be on this mission with this great group.I want to say thanks to the CO fit the placement of this cache series.It was a big drive from Corryong, in the North East of Victoria.I collected a couple of geo caches along the way to fill in some new LGAs. I have collected the south Australia souviner plus the leap year souviner too YAY!! It has been a big few days enjoying Adelaide and the surrounding areas. .So glad to be here
A Leap Year Mega drew us to Adelaide. Now that it is over, it's time for some good old group caching After a lunch break, it is off to meet Anna from the Anna Tommy series. I did enjoy doing these puzzles. Learn something every day as a geocacher!We are using the Acronym QANVT to cover participant from all states.And so happily I say that the logs were signed and caches replaced as found on this day, 1st March 2024. TFTC, addersbear. I loved being out in the bush.
Im visiting Adelaide for the first time, here for the Mega which is also my first, with Willis007. Today we did a group find of the Barossa geoart and then after lunch in Tanunda, found Anna Tommy, signed under the name QANVT. Tftc
Attended the Leap Year event in Adelaide yesterday and today was the day set aside to visit the Barossa region to collect the grape geoart, visit Anna Tommy and also a few other interesting caches along the way. Our caching group for the day was Team QANVT.Thanks to all the COs whose caches we visited today and showing us around this lovely region.
Joined the QANVT group to cache around the Barossa area and beyond - searching for geoart as well as nearby other caches. I appreciate the time and effort the many CO's have put into placing and maintaining these caches.
Joined the expedition to the Barossa today with Contesta, Cybergranny and Icybeetas in the car and joined up with others covering all the eastern states plus NT. Signing caches as QANVT standing for Queensland, ACT, NSW and NT, Victoria and Tasmania. Great company and great fun and some great caching for the day. Started with the Barossa geoart and collected a few other local caches on the way. Moved on now to the Anna Tommy geoart with a slightly smaller group of people, after a fabulous treat at the Tanunda bakery. Tftc addersbear
The Leap Day MEGA drew me here to this lovely State, and gave many of us the opportunity of completing the GeoArt trails Id solved months ago in preparation.Participating with the QANVT team we had 4 different States in our car. Thanks to Contesta, our wonderful chauffeur from ACT, plus barb2E representing Queensland, icybeetas from Tasmania and Cybergran V from Victoria, we had a wonderful trip today.All caches logged as QANVT.Thanks for the mammoth effort of placing and maintaining these GeoArt caches.And thanks also for anatomical education I received in the process of solving these.
Find # 11722Well here it is, time for another MEGA, and an extra special one to. Its a leap year! So before the main event I decided Id head down to Millicent and surrounds to collect some geoart, and some of the all important (to me) SFE challenges Day 7 and another not so hot day today. Today is an out and about around Gawler day, mainly for some geoart with puzzles long ago solved in anticipation of the mega time.Quite a group today, a convoy even, so lots of laughs and fun time that these caching events bring. Signing as QANVT as representative of the States and Territories here today.Finished off the Barossa series, then Anna Tommy, then the Unicorn.Thanks opted-out user for Anna Tommy - Iris
Another nice find with woolwood9 today. ????Good to be doing the Anna Tommy series with plenty of great hides and finds.We spent quite a while solving these and learnt quite a bit!Found while over in Adelaide for the MEGA Event - Soon located, now onto the next one ????*Thanks for the huge effort along the trail. *????
Headed here before attending the Great Leap Forward Mega with tmann421.Enjoyed all the challenges and the findsMany thanks for the placements put into these caches.Signed log... now on to the next
Plans were made to attend the SA mega although our plans changed as both of our team couldn't go due to other commitments. So with that being sorted we booked everything and only made it a short visit to SA this time. Flew into SA this morning with Rapidlywild and being neither one of us is a fan of city caching we headed out to do this Anna Tommy series that we have had solved for quiet awhile now. Feeling back at home on the dirt roads although a bit of a rougher ride not being in a 4WD but our hire car still did the trick. All caches were found safe and sound unless mentioned and all logs were stamped. Thanks for the puzzle series and hides addersbear and thanks for a fun short stint away caching Rapidlywild.
Plans were in place with FurfacesLL #1 to attend the SA single day mega. So bookings for flights, accommodation and car hire were made and off we went. Flew in this morning and our first target for today was the Anna Tommy series. Have had this series solved for quite a while now, however we never seem to be in this area to do them. We made sure that changed today.We made our way around the dirt roads, getting our hire car very dirty, but hey, its SA, plenty of dirt roads. We enjoyed collecting each cache and kept an eye out for the info we needed for the final. All logs were stamped with the FFLL & RWLD stamp as we went.Thanks for the puzzle series and cache placements addersbear and thanks to FFLL for another awesome couple days of caching away from home. Looking forward to the next trip.
Anna Tommy - Iris4.0/2.5 Small Mystery Cache Back in Adelaide after 14 years. Here for The Great Leap Forward Mega and catching up with awesome caching friends and revisiting Adelaide where we lived for 16 beautiful years! Had a wonderful time reminiscing and admiring wonderful changes in the State, meeting friendly cachers and helpful COs and finding quality caches, high D/Ts and old ones.Thank you for the cache addersbear.
Solving this series has been an ongoing process for many months.Lots of late nights, anatomy that I dont think we will ever remember after this, and sometimes a little frustration. In the end, we had most of them solved, and so we were able to then JetSki a couple of solves that remained elusive to us. A great day out with E Smiley. Thanks Domsky
It is with regret to hear Anna was blown apart at the annual puff pastry cook off. It is speculated the puff was tampered with by an envious co-cooker hell bent on making Annas last years win, her last.With the constabulary arresting the puff criminal, our ghoulish task to retrieve Annas various body parts and reassemble at a secret locality for planting.The BOLD07 encountered Annas protective detail which included concentrations of bees (native and European), woolly bleaters set to ambush the car from a shady nook, irate land folk with a distrust of city slickers and a couple of hares hanging loose in the paddock. All of concern individually but terrifying when combined.The body parts when combined made a very unusual person. So the following gives an insight into the real Anna:- Iris free! Many thanks to addersbear for bringing Anna back together.
GC8G68R Anna Tommy - IrisDown in Adelaide from Brisbane for the leap year mega. After arriving today we headed north east to our accommodation in Waikerie grabbing caches along the way.One of our team was fantastic at solving these I think I only added 1 or 2 to the total. A great piece of Geo art and a nice final. Signed as BOLD 7 to save space in the log. TFTC opted-out user
Continuing with the South Australian caching tour and the mad collection of caches in the state. There is so much to do and in such close proximity. Today it was leaving Adelaide and venturing north through Gamber and then a little east to grab caches in Waikerie to start the onslaught on the bike series of caches and locals. There is always time for one more cache and that seemed to be the theme for the road trip today. We left the airport and started our trip. Some great variety of caches today and some fun along the way. We got to see a huge moon a rising with some awesome pics. Thanks to all the COs for the hides and caches we found today, awesome caches. Caches were signed BOLD 7 It was fun doing this series of caches, it was hot and the vegetation was harsh on the skin. If you are not bleed you are not caching hard enough. Thanks for the series
How very exciting the big trip has finally arrived! Down from Brisbane with a host of other geo friends with plans aplenty, enough to almost see us needing to extend or make a return visit. Our geonick for the trip is BOLD7 which is guaranteed to save the log paper for the 7 individual members of the team. As we make our way around sadly there wont be time for the usual individual logs and therefore just the old generic log will have to do. With little extra notes here and there if needed. Thank you for your cache which has added to my wonderful caching holiday.
With our group BOLD7 entertaining ourselves as we head north to explore the country. Fab day collecting all sorts including some well preserved oldies. Thanks to the SA cachers for awesome variety of caches.
Up in Gawler on a beautiful sunny day for the Anna Tommy serie. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache.Logged with BOLD7
This was an interesting set of puzzles. While many of the parts of the body were known by name, their exact location was not as well known. So relating the body part to a particular number from the diagrams was a worthwhile exercise.
These puzzles were solved some time ago but until today, we have not had the opportunity to look for the caches. After visiting Hamley Bridge earlier in the morning, we focussed on the Anna Tommy series for the remainder of the day. We were fortunate to find all the caches in the series except the bonus cache (we could only find five of the six pieces of required data and it was too late in the day to guess the missing values and check each of the locations). The soursobs hindered searching at times but at least they were dry and we remained dry as well.
Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in reasonable condition. Thanks addersbear for the cache, the series and interesting puzzles.

Such a cool series - interesting theme, fun to work out the coords, and a fun drive along the backroads here. All caches found in the series, however some took more than 5 mins due to very thick soursobs - sometimes i was standing over the cache but still unable to see it. Coords were accurate too.
Thanks for a great series!
Thanks for a great series!
Dirt roads and a bit of water makes for a fun day out.
I started this trail last year but didn’t have time to complete it. I returned today to finish the trail.
All caches were found without problems which is testament to the great work maintaining this series.
I might have missed it on my way through but I never found the south minutes of the bonus cache. But I plotted the potential final locations and managed to work out the correct location.
Thanks for the cache addersbear.

Southern Autumn adventure Day 44. Mid North section of SA trip Day 15. Gawler Day 3. The weather was quite a bit better then the last few days, and it was time to get out on the bike trails to do some PATOG caches. I managed to go too far for my poor scooter and had to walk the last three km's back to the car. Other than that today's section of trail went pretty well, much better than sections later in the week. After that exercise was over, I went onto some back roads for solved puzzles and other miscellaneous caches I was able to get to before I ran out of energy.
Decoding these Anna Tommy cache puzzles has been a real challenge over the past few weeks. I owe a lot of thanks to Domsky for their persistence, where I give up after a few tries at each one. At least out on the road I was able to locate each one I looked for today, and most of them are still attached. It is very dusty on the roads, even though it rained yesterday.

Nice Series this one. Learnt heaps in the solving of the puzzles. Think I could become a doctor by the training I got on this series. Anyone needing a small procedure done? I'm ready to put into practice what I learnt.
Great set of cache containers, all in good condition and a lot of thought and time gone into these caches.
Quick find and signed the log.

Up from Adelaide again, hoping to finish off the Anna Tommy series and pick up one or two other caches around the place too.
It’s going to be a bloody hot one so in for an early start to get in before the heat of the day hits.

As there had been serious rain we have decided to have a couple of nights in Gawler.
The weather is still very overcast but we decided to venture out & do some of the Anna Tommy series.
To start with the GPS took us on a large tour before getting onto the right road, ( why does it do that)
Missed a couple because of very boggy roads which we avoided. Most of the others took a small amount of hunting to find.
Great series, & geoart.

Day sixteen of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
With a crappy forecast we set off to Gawler to do the Anna Tommy series and some shopping.
The morning wasn't too bad, but we still got soaked shoes and pants due to the long very wet grass and Oxalis. This combination also made the finding difficult.
Enjoyed solving the puzzles, they were interesting.
The roads were mostly in good condition but fairly busy today.
A nice collection of caches.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19288. Day 16 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. Our 2nd day staying in Tanunda (and already we have extended our 3 night stay to 5). With a wet forecast for the day we decided caching by car was preferable to caching by bike and I think that was the right choice.
We enjoyed solving the puzzles before leaving home - interesting subject matter, but time consuming too. Loved that the final placement also provided geoart - very clever.
I certainly think we earned these 4D caches but not sure what has been the hardest, the solving of the puzzles or the finding of the caches - probably the finding of the caches actually. At this time of year calf-high, wet oxalis is NOT a cacher's friend. We were soaked through by the time we had spent 3 hours on the hunt.
A few need a maintenance check and I have made notes on each of those.
Thanks addersbear

Out in a beautiful winters day grabbing some finds. Solved in preparation for our SA visit. Love the rural back roads. Thanks addersbear
After a long walk along the NEXY with Mattycat we still had some daylight left after the cat headed off, decided to tackle some more of this trail until it got dark or the expected rain arrived, sunset won out. All caches were found in excellent condition and the puzzles clever, once we got into the swing of them we soon had all the solutions prior to our visit today

Leahry101 set us the challenge on this one – find AnnaTommy. Spent many hours pondering the puzzle, then the light came on. Once we were on the right track we learnt about human anatomy and the bits of the body unfolded. This series is a real credit to the creators – the addersbear team. What a fantastic effort.

Have done the scientific research of this series with the Waldos.Thank you. This is No 25
Headed out with my daughter, youngest grandy and the dogs for a little caching after solving the puzzles. (Which has been great fun this week!). Our intention had been to park up and walk the round, but after an hour of speeding cars on gravel roads, we called it a day. This will need to be a drive by caching adventure at another time. Thank you very much for the time spent putting this series together addersbear. Loved your idea for preventing cache creep.

Found on the way home from an orienteering event at the Roseworthy campus. This was one of the few Anna Tommy puzzles solved before coming up this way.
Thanks for the puzzle and cache addersbear.

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
Devilish
Brilliant and Clever
I like it

Out near Gawler today targeting the Anna Tommy series. Had a bit of trouble working out the puzzle as we haven’t done too many, but after a PAF, we understood what we were doing and worked them all out.
All caches are hidden pretty well and in good condition today. Thanks for placing and looking after this series Addersbear, TFTC.
A quick find after working out the co/ords and getting a few clues along the way.Thanks to all involved in placing this series.One of the best series we have completed a favourite for all of them.TFTC
Well where do I start with this series? Was it the creepy dolls in he background? Or searching everywhere but the right place for a list? Or maybe it was the reference to 1810 which preceded European settlement in South Australia by 26 years? In regards to the latter I am now much more knowledgeable about the practice of grave robbery, the work of Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov and the Anatomy Act of 1832. None of this was useful though. When the right location was finally found, most of this series was solved easily, whereas others were a bit harder to pin down.
I had grabbed a dozen of these caches a few months back at the start of winter when the grass was green and did a good job of obscuring the lower placed caches. Today, the grass was dry which made the search for many quite a bit simpler and all other caches in the series (apart from the final Anna Tommy were collected). Not many passing motorists about today although a few farmers were using their Saturday afternoon to rake hay. TFTC.

After saving this series for an appropriate time, today was the day .
We quickly found the majority of caches, a few ended up being hidden very well by either new growth, or wind having helped with the camo .

Thanks again Addersbear (see 'Temple' for main log).

Day two of two. Out here to finish the series this morning. Once I got the right direction of attack, the cache was quickly located. The hanging ones are certainly easier I think.
Thanks for the cache and the series. An amazing effort on the puzzles and the caches. I had solved them a couple months ago and was waiting the right time to come and collect. All containers in good condition with a couple minor exceptions. Quality caching.

Needing a cache to make our day complete, we opened up our eyes and saw this one.
Nice full moon tonight. Perfect for gravedigging
Enjoyng finding bits of Anna one by one.

All the best caches are hidden at a safe social distance
(Though not necessarily vertical distancing!!! )
Caching continues with some serious help from soap, water, and especially alcohol...
Once cacher per 4sqm
Space is good. Fresh air is good. Exercise is good.
#washyourhands you don't know where that cache has been!
Gloves are great, but only if you change them between caches!
#washyourhandsagain
Support the regions! Hide a cache in the Barossa

Hand hygiene and keeping safe distances can reduce your chance of common cold, flu, pneumonia and a whole bunch of other nasties, as well as that corona thing
Ease your restrictions carefully.
Enjoy caching. It's good for your physical and mental health
Gawler-bound to grab some more of this cool series today on Thursday 4 June 2020.
I did receive a hint on how to access on what was needed in order to solve the puzzles for this series [^]
Some of the names for parts of the anatomy are unpronouncable tongue-twisters to say the least ha ha
Found quickly and SL with the grass still wet from the overnight dew [B)]
The cache and contents are good and dry [^]

I had set about solving several of these puzzles when they were first published. Spent way to long on one particular body part that was never going to be correct, fortunately the CO/s rectified the error... phew!
Thank you for a puzzle I could actually solve. I was stoked to work it out for myself
A day of caching with hevwalker was on the cards and this series was the target. Both of us set about solving the rest of the body parts. Unlike any surgical operation... there was no precision used as we fumbled our way through the anatomy of Anna Tommy
All caches were found in good condition (unless duly noted by hevwalker - keeper of notes). Relevant info was noted as we sliced & diced our way through this series.
