Something special or unusual goes here:The last of the caches in this series for me to find. 
Why I hadn't collected it three years ago when I got the others - I don't know. Great to finally get it off the map. 
The Generic Bit:Another Tuesday Trek for some Puzzle solvers. 
I picked up Mrs. Sewer Rats and then went and picked up Ttrogg. 
Our target today was to cache our way towards Mawson Lakes for an event later in the day. Of course we detoured and made stops for various unfound caches along the way. 
Another great day with some TOTTs required, ***Thanks Trendy for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

TFTC.
This one was spotted from a distance and we were surprised it lasted. I guess if you're not looking for it, you won't notice it. This one was logged with naughtybunny and put back a little more inconspicuously. TNLN. Cheers.
Due to the driest Autumn I can remember, this is currently a very dry rain garden!I've never been here before, so I found the whole area interesting and had a really good look around. Lots more caches in the area, so we'll be back for more.TFTC Trendy
Thanks for the cache. Daughters found it and were quite pleased
Went here at quite the late time after some dessert, nevertheless, with my sixth sense it was easy to find the out of place spot for the cache. TFTC! #62
This cache hadn't made my short list, but I was driving quite close on my way to the nearby Subway, that I thought I would detour to it and and make a "bonus" find. It was a quick find as the cache was rather obvious, and I was surprised to see that it had lasted like this for so long. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. It was nice to see the implementation of rain gardens at this spot, as I've seen these throughout Adelaide CBD as a nice blending of the urban environment and sustainability. Thanks Trendy 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).
Out and about with sir_spectre grabbing a few caches might distract us when we are close to the upcoming Mega.Thanks to Trendy from mogni 
Quick find. Rain Gardens seem to be more and more common this days. Found with Mogni. Today started with a CITO event in Mawson lakes and then moving on to completing a couple of adventure labs and then on to the target area for the day. That area was the general area around the Mega site and the nearby mega CITO site. It was just slowly clearing the solved puzzles, trads and solving/finding the multi's. A early finish to caching saw only 40 + finds for the day even if we had a few DNF's. At least that area is thinned of unfound caches and lab stages, hopefully we will have some spare time to finish the area off before the mega.
Found it Turned a frown upside down aka the coloured mint tin by the sea peopleaka Minty ManTFTC Trendy
Walking around Mawson Lakes for a few hours trying to sign some logbooks. This was a very easy find. TFTC.

Found on a stroll around campus 
very soggy log. Thankfully had gel pen with me.
very soggy log. Thankfully had gel pen with me.The destroyed yellow object people have been finding was not the cache, I am not sure what it was, but I have now removed and binned it, the original camo cache is still there.
On a great Sunday morning decided to get some smiley's from SA unfortunately I found the cache had what looked like it had been destroyed.
It would've been a great cache as I probably would have overlooked it
Hopefully it can be salvaged
Thanks

Feetlet had a scout outing at the planetarium, so while that was going on, we had a snack at a cafe then found this cache in quick order.
I decided to stop at Mawson Lakes on my way home from an appointment to do some caching. The area was quiet, though not that surprising given it was later on a Friday and most of the university is still on holiday! I spotted this cache easily enough - used to have a similar hide though that one went missing (how???). TFTC Trendy
This afternoon, I went to Mawson Lakes and Gulfview Heights. I tried 4 caches on the way, and found first three.
This is the first find for today. I went to a nearby library, and I tried this cache as it's in walking distance.
At GZ, I found the cache easily. Signed the log and placed it back. No one was around.
I'm familiar with the topic, and I owned an Earth Cache with this topic.
Thanks for the cache, Trendy.

Another big geocaching trip to Australia with woolwood9.
Our main focus was the "On Your Bike" Wherigo series but of course we couldn't resist many stops on the way plus other good trails! ????
