Beware of Dogmatically Onerous Geocaches Mawson Lakes, South Australia, Australia
By Squizzie on 02-Mar-21. Waypoint GC96YTQ

Found it! Went on a walk from the parking coordinates. On the approach to GZ I was worried I was going to be searching through piles of rubbish but as I got closer something caught my eye! TFTC!

Went to Lorentz court before reading the instructions then did a nearby cache.After finding that we followed a trail to the find ourselves on the wrong side of the creek.Over 100 caches found and I just realised the big P on the map is the recommended parking spot.Easily found once we started from the correct spot.Thanks

Jumping fences is what we do,TFTC

the person willing to jump the fence said it was pretty decent.

Love the walk, listening to the bird life and great spot

Nice hide, no dogs sighted today.

My first find for today, out with my good friend GumAko, tftc.

Dropped my car off for a service and had time for a little caching with my trusty offsider. Quirky little hide at 11:47 thank you for the cache placement and maintenance Squizzie_

Thanks for the parking coordinates . Unique hideTftc! Found with a turtle out on a sunny winters day

The huntsman Security was on watch today. TFTC found with a bunny

This a new account but I found this cache with my mum (EmsDan1315) and my brother (maggies123) on 1-5-2024. TFTC.

Woof

I can now see why this cache has many favourites, very awesome indeed. thanks for this amazing cache!

Loved it

Did it with my nanny and poppy

Tricky to get to there was a spider when we opened TFTC

Very easy but wouldnt have found it if it wasnt for my nana. TFTC.Watch out for spider

Hi

TFTC. Found some time to grab a few caches on a quick trip to Adelaide!Happy caching and safe travels!

Fun little find, off the road - Cat

You tricked us a bit, but that's okay.We extended our stay in Adelaide after the MEGA Leapyear events and are still refreshing our memories, enjoying new places and doing some caching.Today we took off into this area. We found the awesome cache - fav point from me - and signed the log.Tftc Squizzie

We stay another week in Adelaide and pick up some more caches Found the cache with TBU1BIKESU Tftc .Squizzie A fav point from me

This geocache was on my priority/bucket list due to its high Favourite Point (FP) count, with 42 FPs as of the time of my visit.I will admit that I rocked up and started to search at GZ where my Google Maps took me, before reading the hint and noting the parking waypoint. It was then a reposition of the vehicle to follow the CO's parking instructions. After jogging at GZ, it was quick to find another classic great cache by the CO, with a well-deserved FP. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Squizzie_ for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------A trip visiting Adelaide from Brisbane for the [The Great Leap Forward](http://coord.info/GCA1DNA) Mega event!I arrived Wednesday 28/02/2024 evening ready for Leap Day on Thursday, and stayed with family across the weekend, before returning on Monday 4/03/2024 morning. Previous Adelaide trips are spent with family and friends, but targeted geocaching was this trip's objective, and I attempted to target unique cache types (virtuals, EarthCaches, Wherigos and letterbox hybrids), attractive D-T combinations, high Favourite Point caches, and the occasional pre-2003 oldie, acknowledging that I had found many cherished oldies whilst residing in Adelaide.In addition to Mega central in Beverley/Hindmarsh, my trip included visits as north as Clare, to Aldinga and Sellicks Beach to the south, and the Adelaide Hills (Hahndorf, Uraidla) to the west. In true South Australian style, I ticked off the three closest wine areas to Adelaide (Barossa, Clare Valley, and McLaren Vale). Additional highlights included Barossa vineyard meanderings, boating to Adventure Island in Outer Harbor, drain exploration via [The Shadowlands](https://coord.info/GC18AZY), beach walks of Port Willunga and Sellicks Beach, enjoying a beer at Willunga, and experiencing the Fringe Festival in Adelaide's east end.Today on 29/02/2024 Leap Day, it was an extremely early start joining [gridge98](https://coord.info/PRGKDMY) to drive north to attend Clare's morning event. As the sun rose, we meandered back to Adelaide via Auburn, Saddleworth, Peters Hill, Tarlee, and Gawler, and I then proceeded solo visiting targeted geocaches in Adelaide's north around Mawson Lakes. A couple of targeted geocaches in North Adelaide's park lands with [gridge98](https://coord.info/PRGKDMY), and I then headed east to Stepney and Toorak Gardens, before visiting Mega HQ. The day's remainder was spent catching up with old geocaching friends, geocaching, gadget caching, and closing-out the day with [The Side Event](http://coord.info/GCAH07T) dinner.Adventure Labs visited included: [Adelaide Icon Tour with Neobatrachus Pictus](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/e4e6daf2-4904-4f32-9a49-3308a1d7a075); [Hidden History of Charles Sturt Council](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/f1f49ce0-0345-4bb0-9cf6-f1ff813d80d9); [Sporting Adelaide](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/746734fb-eab7-4058-8072-922a43bdc332); [The Great Leap Forward Gadget Caches](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/a2d616d0-5583-4663-a70c-605c6a88c956); and [Visiting South Australia's Special Places](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/44b6d461-0b3b-43b5-adf1-1c29f61766b7).

Found while at CITO event. TFTC

I hadn’t wandered down this way at previous CITO’s, but today that was to change. A handful of us took our gloves, tongs and rubbish bags for a walk, picking up various bits of rubbish en route while chattering about the earlier find, or rather not, of THE elusive cache.
This cache was soon found and signed and we all headed back to our chariots.
No animals were harmed while finding this cache

Found with jiggy

Found and I like it

Found my second geocache! Pen at site!

Quick stroll while wasting time TFTC

A lovely afternoon tea at St Loius and we just had to turn this green smiley to yellow. After finding the right place to park we trekked through the back blocks of nowhere to find a very cool cache hidden quite cleverly. Great hide. TFTC Squizzie

Thanks Squizzie for the great cache. Found, in the heat, while waiting for the dog to be trimmed.

Thanks

TFTC

Oh it's a squizzie cache! I didn't notice till I got home that it was a familiar name.

That's why it was such a good hide!

He's gotta come out of the shadows as I always enjoyed a chat with him.

My muggle friend was very impressed by the hide.

A favourite point allocated!

Thank you for the cache squizzie!

Wow, you have a great imagination. Love it. Thanks Squizzie

I had lost my geocaching mojo a few months back, but a recent trip to Tasmania rekindled it. So this morning I took a couple of hours to collect caches, mainly around Mawson Lakes, but also in nearby suburbs. All caches were found in good condition. Great cache. FP. TFTC.

Nice!

Maintenance performed

Good to find after our third go at a nearby cache. Really enjoyed this one TFTC

Very nicely done, I believe I am the first of the new logbook to sign it. The pen is missing. TFTC.

Minor correction of coordinates.

A minor coordinate correction and a logbook replacement.

Very creative cache. I'd recommend reading the hint to avoid searching in the wrong location.

The log book has been defaced.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Needs new logbook

Not sure if there was supposed to be an actual box but I found the log in a cheeky place so I'm guessing that's it. Some vulgar crap on there btw so shame on those people. But yea as my first try on this was a bit o' going through this back shrub.

Found it. Today I got a puzzle cache and a virtual cache published, did a lab adventure cache, attend a CITO event, and found a traditional cache (which is this one).
I planned to attend the CITO - George Street Wetland Cache In Trash Out Event (GC9ND3P), to get a souvenir of CITO 2022 Season 1.
Since I was in the area, I tried this cache as it's close by. Drove to there, then realised I should read hint first. Then tried the other side. Cache has been found easily.
Nice cache. No wonder so many favourite points.
The log sheet is really full. I managed to find a tiny gap to sign.
Thanks for the cache, Squizzie.

PS: one favourite point from us

Nice and easy saw it straight away tftc

Fuck this was so hard to find but I did it , be careful when going down the street tho the dogs chased me for 15 minutes I was sweating like a fucking pig after that bottle shop around the corner treated me good polished down a well deserved bottle of cheap vodka and goon fuck I love Wednesday Centrelink pay come early ahhhhhh

Found with Meland_adz

Found with Geowife and GeoSon in Law. Great hide... very clever.
TFTC

Have just moved into the area, and this is my closet to home cache. Went for an early evening walk with the in-laws who are visiting and we made a quick find. A very creative cache. TFTC

A half day in town for a little bit of caching, caught up with Mattycat for a extra set of eyes, spotted this one straight away a fav point for being different TFTC Squizzie_

I found these caches on varioua trips around SA.
Unfortunately my GPS devise did not automayically submit the note that I recorded at the time, so I am posting a generic log instead.
Thank you for a great caching experiance. TFTC.

After finding our way round and round the backstreets we made it to the parking coordinates. From there an easy walk through the thankfully mowed grass to GZ. A quick and easy find when there.

Thanks for the cache Squizzie_.

Find #14920.

Found while travelling from north to south on my way back home from a few days away. Always good to do a bit of a detour to find a few caches along the way. Another great hide from the master of creativity! Thanks for the cache Squizzie!

Thanks for the cache!! Found with conardel

Thanks for the cache!! I love it, found with Webberg this is my 1001. Well worth the walk and theFP

I had a fail at the nearby D5, so I walked over here to see if I could make amends.

I read the hint too late, so I had a long walk around before arriving at GZ. But once there I found the cache without problems.

A favourite point for the unique idea.

Thanks for the cache Squizzie.

After the nearby caching event, Mr Tardis walked over to this one with Southern Cross Caching.

A great hide - it's nice to see something different. A favourite point for your creativity.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Squizzie.

A quick find before the cito nearby.

Tftc

Fantastic cache. Well worth a fav point.
Need a cito along this area. So many balls etc lying around. TFTC found with LíB.

On the way to the nearby CITO with earthlight and hadn't yet found this cache. Very cool, FP coming your way.
Did a clean up on our way out... cans, bottles, balls galore, wood and some tools too.

TFTC Squizzie

Got this one while at the cito. Thanks

Found after an even nearby. Thanks for a fun find

I was attending a CITO close by so decided to come over here to find the cache and pick up some more rubbish. [^]
Loved the cache which now has my stamp in the log.
Thanks for the cache Squizzie a favourite for me.

Caught this one after a nearby CITO. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird, Liz & Bruce. Blue sky day, so it’s a great day for caching. TFTC Squizzie_

Worth the walk to this one very good TFTC

A nice cache hide that took approximately 2 seconds to locate once at GZ!

Makes up for the times spent nearby

All our Geocaches 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!

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
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

Very good! Fave from me. Tftc

Found It!
I visited the wrong side of the fence at first but once I got myself on the right side I soon spotted the cache! A nicely built cache!
TFTC

Visiting from Perth and staying with family just a few streets away so went for a wander to find this cache. Had a squizz and located this excellent cache without too much trouble. TFTC, Squizzie!

I do try to avoid onerous caches. I think the longest multi I have ever attempted would be a two stage affair. Today I looked at one in Athelstone and it had about 5 stages. Unfortunately these are not for my current level of caching entertainment. This one however, was just the ticket for my first of the day. I parked safely then walked to GZ. The cache did not present itself in the likely locations, but once in the right spot, it was instantly identified and a big smile came to my face. I would have wagged my tail if I had one. Signing duties were performed on the inventive cache, and then the pen was relocated back to where the note said it should be. Thanks for the cache Squizzie, FP4U.

After attempting and failing hiding Ryan this one was a quick find

Even logging this one late, I can still remember this cache hide. Well worth the walk.
Another favourite point from M & M to you, Squizzie.
TFTC

Out and about in Mawson Lakes with CPwanderer and Aussie M&M.
Parked in the recommended location and made our way to GZ. Soon spotted what we were looking for.
A favourite from me for the clever hide. The best find of the day.
TFTC Squizzie_

Found with Gizmos Gang and AussieM&M on a wander around Mawson Lakes!!! Great day for it, with an enjoyable break at the Mawson Lakes pub ( where we ran in caching team Wal&Ol. Thanks for the hide!! After finding some very uninspiring micros this was a very welcome change .................................. without doubt the standout cache for us today!!! A favourite!!!
