CJ3 - after finding our first Wild Koala in the Belair national park. We stopped for a quick find
It's always these ones that get me, for some reason I always look at impossible spots before looking at the most obvious.Another thing, I look super weird with a torch on constantly looking behind a guard rail while watching out for spiders (found one, his name is Dave) TFTC
Visited by 5 tb's. Located and is dry and lntact. Both of them? Cheers and thanks for the challenge.
Quick find while in the area. Two seperate containers with logbooks each... hmmmm.Found with LittleLeah79.TNLNSLTFTCTTFNBeaker
A pretty Boring geocache I think that micro ones are sorta boring but then again good idea for a spot and nice magnet idea p.s we put a really special object in there
Nice quick find. Well hidden in plain sight. Contents still clean and dry. Bring your own writing implement. Tftc
Nice job on the hiding spot almost didn’t find it but found it in the end found with IT the cable guy
Out for an evening drive with sir_spectre grabbing just a couple more smilies.
Thanks
Thanks

Another spot which was tricky to park safely near, lucky it was a quick grab. Good old mint tins, where would the caching universe be without them? Quite honestly they would just go to recycling or lie on the ground rusting if discarded, oh there it is.Oh, what a wonderful morningBy a sleepy road, quiet and smallHow perfect to be, a guard rail like meBy the safest road of them allThe sun is coming outOver the lovely roundaboutWhat can possibly ruin this day?Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothingIs coming my way*Yodeling*Beautiful day*Yodeling*No one's coming this way*Yodeling*Aaaaaaah!Thanks Freddo for the cache, TNLNSL
Found while waiting for friends. Clever location and one where I could be discreet on a busy road.Signed one of the 2 logs. TFTC
Whilst waiting for friends to arrive at the park I took the opportunity of grabbing this cache. Glad it was easy to find. Tftc
Luckily a quiet day on the road, quick grab and log signed and we were off to the next adventure. TFTC
Quick find here

Well it was just as I expected. A mint tin in a guard rail. stopped here in a safe place across the road and stood on the safe side as traffic passed by. Thanks for the cache Freddo, signed and returned as found.
Out for a bushwalk at the Belair Park on the Queen’s special commemorative public holiday.
Another Tuesday treking adventure with Mattycat, today saw us around Belair NP for most of the day before picking up a couple south of the city on our way home, dodging cars, buses we got the log signed

GC Froggo Chocolate your a master of deception even though it was in the guard rail and you certainly had the (strong magnet eclipse tin) upper hand even after several visits. GC in good condition and took long time to get logbook out. Recommend hinged end of log near opening I was determined to get GC and had gloves on & found GC but had to return several times dodging traffic as Darwin lose stamp fell out . TfTc Froggo master Chocolate. Now off to nearby doctors appointment
Adelaide and South Australia Trip Christmas 2021/2022. Day 8. Wow Christmas day has arrived already. A nice day. Before the family got together for lunch, I headed out to this one that is the closest I might find to Blackwood. No problems finding it, and it means my run of caching on Christmas day is complete for another year.
Thanks for the cache Freddo

A busy week for our team as we come to the south of town to work on a theatre production with SA Light Opera (oops, a shameless plug, find us on fluffbook!) , but there's always a time for a cache in between things! And here we are at yours...
Ohhhhh I just couldn't contain my excitement. We were just driving past and saw a guard rail. I said to Sebastbat and Jack "Maybe there's a mint tin in there" and sure enough there was. Oh happy day! No existential crisis today! The consequence of our acts was a smiley off we go enlightened!!!

Caches everywhere up or down are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S20+, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck and groping in guard rails !
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK.*

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
slippery steps with broken grips, collapsible ladders...
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]
Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on
We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Coorordinates about 10 m out but hey there is only 1 guard rail here and it only has 2 ends so easy find. Thanks Freddo the chocolate frog fir the hide.
Mr and Mrs Parrot went to Belair today as the family was dancing in the welcome to country event with Uncle Moogy.
Had a lovely day and picked up a cache on the way out

Accurate coordinates, the cache name and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Freddo for the cache.
Staying in the nearby caravan park, I was put for an evening stroll in the NP and after picking up a couple of finds inside the grounds, I rounded out my walk by detouring past this spot on the road to make another quick and easy find in the place most expected from the description. Thanks for the hide Freddo the Chocolate Frog.
On my way home I missed the chance to park and get the cache I really wanted, so consoling myself with this one instead. TFTC Freddo TCF, and congratulations on 5000 FPs.
Happened to be in the area for non caching reasons ........................ yes they do exist ............... but insisted to my fellow travellers that I just had to get one!! Well you cant get anything more straightforward than this. Even at 5 am the traffic here was pretty solid!! Thanks Freddo for the adventure!!
Found while travelling through the area back home from the southern suburbs today. A strong magnet that required a bit of extra effort to dislodge the container from the Armco! Thanks for the cache Freddo the Chocolate Frog!
Fun little hide, the bright blue tin is much more concealed than I would have thought. The magnet is surprisingly strong! Lots of room left in the logbook. TFTC
Found at 15:49 by Olga, who pushed me out of the way to get there first.
We found it in a guard rail.

TFTC Freddo. A quick park and grab after helping no. 1 son collect his car nearby
Yes it was and it was easily found. I think the name gave it away as the GPS was pointing across the road. TNLN. Cheers.
Somebody named 'chookster' logged earlier today but only on the cache itself TFTC
If it was wet you would not want to be waiting here in your suit to go off to work.
Thanks to Freddo and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! beta log. [^]
Found with Team Waldron on a lovely sunny afternoon. A quick find just like we like it. tftc
Mr Tardis was heading home, and stopped by to find this one. I found the cache as advertised in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Freddo the Chocolate Frog.

Quick find but a busy traffic area at 5pm. SLTNLN cache and contents are all good. TFTC
I stopped off here this morning as I needed to find a couple of caches for a personal challenge and this one was close to another one so that got me my 2 finds reasonably quickly. [^]
Parked the car safely and walked across the road and found the cache in the first place I looked...where else would it be.
Thanks for the cache Freddo.

Today I needed a multi and a puzzle got my calendars so plotted a route through the hills that would pick up one of each.
Had a lovely drive and found 8 caches for the afternoon.
Very enjoyable.
This was my first find of the afternoon. Quick find and sign.

Did not find, assuming its by the guard rail the road is too dangerous to hang around near
