Perhaps it’s been muggled!?

Didn’t find it, searched high and low and in crevices. I believe it’s been mugged!
Thanks anyway!

Apologies to everyone who DNF, didn't realize there were so many of you. I'll stop by and check it out/replace sometime soon.

Poked around in the holes and amongst the leaf litter, but nothing today.

Did not find ,, didn’t want to route in too far

No luck today. Beautiful day in the Botanic Gardens.

DNF

Unfortunately not today.

Lots of webs but no cache

First find for a night of geocaching adventures. Found by Cache in the Hat. TFTC.

Found by cache in the hat!

Took some looking on a perfect day with the MiniGeos impromptu cache - survived without any bites and faking a little skunk friend - thanks for the cache

A nice lunchtime jog out with Davidwazza! TFTC!

During lunch today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I visited the Adelaide Botanic Gardens to complete the Adventure Lab there. We had a nice walk/jog in sunny weather, and returned to have dumplings for lunch.

I didn't realise that geocache hides could be within the botanic gardens, so it was good to have found this one. It turned out to be a quick find, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks panta_ray for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

A quick find on a break from work by the GeoDad.
TFTC!

Great cache, beautiful gardens

I found this whilst visiting Adelaide w/ gracetriumphed and my nephew

I always enjoy visiting the Botanic Gardens and today was just perfect. I approached GZ and identified some likely hiding places. Waited for a suitable break in the muggle traffic, then soon had CIH. Signed and returned with no problems. TFTC panta_ray

So close! On holiday from Darwin, in town for a few days catching up with friends and family. We were passing through and I got so close I could almost touch it. But there were too many muggles around! Oh well, another time.

Tftc! Cute hide in a beautiful garden

TFTC

No magpies but muggles sitting nearby....luckily they were oblivious to our searching...quick find

Found! We had given up hope and we got ready to leave but I sent out a message to somebody who had found it, they quickly responded and let us know. Although we would have preferred to find it ourselves the child was becoming impatient and it was still rewarding.


Thanks to the person who told us.

Park was thankfully quiet today and just the magpies were around. Tftc!

Tdtc Found this while Roaming with Mrs.

In the city today, TGIF 4 December 2020, i was just checking my map then lo and behold... " I didn't notice this one before" and i was here on Sat 21 November too, Munzee-ing like a demon !

Had to wait till park workers disappeared on their "Cool-As" buggy's they use then i "swooped in" (no pun intended lol ) on this hide which was found quickly

SL at 10:30.

All is in A1 condition with the cache

Kids were a bit worried about what could be lurking in there.

Needed a stick

Thanks for the cache

Fun one!

I found your cache while walking around the Botanic Gardens doing the Ad Lab.
The gardens are a beautiful space to be in??????????

Apologies for the tardy log... life kind of got in the way for a long while... now trying to catch up??

TFTC panta_ray

Lovely day for a stroll in the gardens. I could hear magpie and other bird varieties. Just a delight. Cache found and am sitting on the bench provided to sign the log. Thanks panta_ray for the adventure.

Tftc

Quick look and find while doing the Adv Lab. TFTC

Thanks, 3 yr old daughter loved it!

Did this at the end of a walk from Klemzig into the city. Seem to remember one I did here ages ago. No maggies today. Thanx

Nice find while exploring the Botanic Gardens

TFTC

Great spot. Pretty hard to access during the day when lots of muggles are around. Came back at 5pm when people are leaving and no one was around.

Found a few rainbow lorikeets around GZ as well

Easy find as tackle Lab cache in park
Tftc

Nice hide, TFTC

Low

bit of intense looking around, but if you’re willing to get up close and personal with the area, you’ll find it. TFTC! found with EmmyD8

Found it on a rainy day tftc

Put it down to fear of getting bitten by spiders that I didn’t find it.

Good and easy find

lots of looking but no luck!

Lovely quick after school find. Good thing we had the phone torch

Nice day for a cache hunt near the city with Mr Froghoppin.
Found a few fun caches and planned ahead for our next trip down to town

We ducked in ten minutes before gate closing time and just stopped the parks guy from locking the gate before we got out !!! Nice quick friendly cache!

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache on our map panta_ray

Stay safe out there, caches can be dirty!
wash your hands, wipe down your cache gear,
sanitise, exercise, even wear a mask if hayfever season gets to you and
cache the countryside safely distanced at least an adult brown snake's length apart ! ! !


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:---

With a day off work we decided a day in town and more specifically around North Adelaide to clear off a few solved puzzles and gather a few multis, met up with mattycat two sets off eyes are better than one. We arrived at the side gate noticing we only had 10 minutes so at a quick pace we arrived at GZ and fortunately a reasonably quick find, as we returned to the gate it was in the process of being locked down for the night made it with seconds to spare, love visiting the botanic gardens but a short visit today
TFTC panta_ray

Wandered through the Adelaide Botanic Gardens on my way to work this morning, a pleasant distraction. Looked in a few other nooks and crannies before finally locating the container. Thanks for the cache panta_ray!

After the Geocaching SA AGM, Ourselves, hevwalker and Trigger_Fish came to the Botanic Gardens for a nice afternoon stroll and an Adventure Lab. This one was inbetween two of the Lab locations so it would have been rude not to stop and find it! TFTC

A pleasant stroll around the Botanic gardens with SnappyTomCats and Trigger_Fish...
We did the Adventure Lab cache and this traditional...
The gardens are a beautiful asset to the city of Adelaide...
TFTC panta-ray

A lovely little hide in a great community asset - the botanic gardens

Took a bit of searching. Lovely place for a cache. Tftc

Headed into the City today to buy a new phone so also decided to have a bit of a walk and collect some new lab caches and this cache in the Botanic Gardens.
Sadly the best of the weather was over by the time I got to the gardens but this meant it was nice and quiet which allowed for a quick find of a nicely hidden cache. TFTC!

Found after a cup of coffee. Tftc

quick find, best swap i ever found, bag of mini crystals. i left a pencil sharpener, keychain and a necklace. found with Audweyhehe

Me and my friend TheTSwizzlers and we left a sharpener a keychain and a necklace! It wasn’t that hard and was really fun

just a pic!

My first geocache

Easy find

Such a lovely day to be at the gardens today. Fun GZ for the kids, had a lovely lunch on the lawn.
TFTC

Thanks for the cache panta ray. Great location, always love visiting the gardens, I went looking for a place to sit and enjoy a beer, seems the weather or COVID have put paid to that. I was uninterrupted here at GZ. All the ducks, bin chickens, hens and so forth were off in other parts of the gardens.

Today I was travelling around today performing maintenance on my caches, 3 had gone missing in the last 2 weeks, humph - including one with double-digit FP. I like that this one has plenty of cover, of which I returned dutifully. [edited]

Found this reasonably new one on the way south to greener pastures.
Thanks panta_ray for putting it there

*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

Last cache of the day in fading light. I haven’t been into the main part of the botanical gardens for years, and really enjoyed the walk along Murdoch Avenue and having the place to myself.

At GZ I was greeted by a solitary cache guardian (see photo) - he watched calmly in the background but then got all excited when I made the find, maybe because a Sistema and a ziplock usually means sandwiches.

A little bit sad to see the old RAH next door in various stages of demolition; I did my internship there many years ago.

FP for Cache of the Day.

Looked everywhere but could not spot it. Friendly magpies were a delight!

Early morning wander around the gardens with the Feetlet, meant there was almost no one around. Found after not too long a search.

Hahahah

After attending the lunch event close by and a visit to the Apple store I decided to walk down here to find this newish cache and complete the AL in the Botanic Gardens. [^]
Arrived at GZ and started looking in the hidey holes watched by 2 magpies who just happened to be hanging around.
It wasn't too long before the container was spotted and the log stamped.
Thanks for the cache panta_ray.

How lucky could i be! Turned phone on and 10mtrs from a cache. Quick find and loved the area. These gardebsare my car fav place to to walk in city so a fav point today.

Found it, next time make it neon

Nice spot in the city, after a day of orienteering with mates in the botanical gardens, TFTC

Thanks!!

Quick find whilst hangout out with a friend on this lovely day!! TFTC

What a place for a treasure hunt!

After googling this cache last night I realised that an early morning cache raid was the best option. Free parking and a nice stroll to GZ. A quick find in the only place it could be. No magpies today. I did see a Bin Chicken. And I am sure a duck was watching somewhere.

Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find including two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Having dropped Raven at Magpie's house, Owl elected to go on a nice little walk to the Botanic Gardens, a familiar stomping ground. The muggles and a desire to keep her trousers clean made searching difficult, but Owl finally spotted something and had the cache signed.

Just before uni this morning I came in to the botanical gardens to do the new set of labs, I haven’t been in here for awhile but it’s always nice here.

This cache didn’t take too long to find and managed to pick up the tb in it.

TFTC

Lovely place to be...left some treasures behind

Nice find. Disappointed about the cigarette considering children do the awesome activity. TFTC anyway

TFTC

Found It!
This one took me a bit longer to spot than it should have but I got there in the end. Lots of people walking past here today. A nice park and an interesting tree though!

Veni. Vidi. Vidi. Scripsi.
Was stuck at home last week doing a very intense online training course so the ability to get out and cache was just not there, an with a busy weekend it got even worse. The withdrawal symptoms were starting to really play havoc with the mind. So when this one got published last night and I saw it was only 600m from my office and it was my day to escape from the WFH thing, the target for the day was set. The withdrawal symptoms stated to ease.
This morning, headed into the office, parked and immediately headed towards this cache. Getting closer the hide was identified and after a quick circle around GZ the cache was grabbed in the first place I felt. Gotta love that. Took the cache to the nearby seat and opened it up, stamped the log and replaced it all. Thankfully being early in the morning, and also being very cold, there were no magpies in the area. Phew. Replaced the cache in its hide and the withdrawal symptoms finally disappeared. Its back, thank goodness.
Gratias pro cache panta_ray

A very quiet day in the gardens today. Arrived at GZ without a soul nearby. Found the cache nicely hidden out of view. Log signed!

Found myself nearby to GZ this afternoon, so went for a short walk and found a well concealed cache.
Not many muggles around today.

Thanks

Today I was in the city for business. During lunch break, I went to a fast food restaurant to order take-away. While I was waiting, I received an email notification for the new cache, and it's very close to where I was. Checked the map, only 13 minutes walk.

So I jogged to GZ, within 10 minutes. No one was around.

Checked here and there, and found the well-hidden cache.

Quickly signed the log book, and placed it back.

Then some other cachers arrived. Mini geocaching event was held at GZ.

Thanks for the cache, panta_ray.

A bit of a mini event at GZ. I was waiting at a near by surgery with AstroWes when this popped up. Being like a magpie when it comes to nearby FTFs I swooped. The good thing when you come a minute or so late you get handed the cache!!

No magpies seems here!!

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