Very good spot, thanks for the awesome time.

My nephew bravely found this one. Great hide. Tftc

Found with LittleLeah79 on a cool spring day. TNLNSLTFTCTTFNBeaker DGS

Took awhile then we got our head around it. During our search some people on the other side of the park were all dressed as Medieval knights and were play fighting. Someone else approached us, I thought he might be a fellow cacher coming to help, but no he said his phone was broken and wanted to know the time. Thanks for cache

Nice one

Out with Normanville for a dental appt nearby. Nice quick find. Tftc

Ohhhh, that was tricky. Very nice spot. Happy Anzac Day!

Thanks for the cache. Loads of kids around!

A quick easy find while out with pie_mom. Tftc

Thanks GeoMitchri for 3 things. One, for the cache. Two, for it not being a nano, three, for the hint. All good here. Found ok. Out with makingpie.

Went to find this cach today only to descover I had already found it ages ago quick grab today in a verry peaceful park. TFTC

The hint certainly helped here.

After having my hair done nearby I decided to find some caches to earn the Equinox Souvenir. Stopped by at this one and was pleased to find the cache using a process of elimination. The hint helped.TFTC GeoMitchri

The hint was very welcome and made for a quick find. All good here. Thank you GeoMitchri, for placing The Imperial for the geocaching community.# # #14258 # #

Something special or unusual goes here:I have been here before for the old Pikachu puzzle cache. [^] So ever the fool I slid underneath to where that was and not surprisingly I didn't find this cache. Then I looked at the hint. Using that I made a quick find. The Generic Bit:Today I was off to Adelaide again for another Leap Day lead up event Running early I decided to grab a few caches along the way. Bugger another DNF I will have to rectify later. ***Thanks GeoMitchri for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Will try again

Found on my way home.Easy quick findTFTC SL

Found it! TFTC

A Monday caching with Mr Froghoppin for a change of pace! nice warm day kept the muggles at bay The Imperial forces were away and not guarding today - so we got on their equipment and found the cache! Thank you GeoMitchri for the cache hide and ongoing care and maintenance ---------------- ----------------------Caching country and city... wherever we go... In a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and solid lumps falling from trees - - - a cache a day keeps us agile... sort of --------Caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp ) Work gets in the way - and some may take longer to log than others due to mixed technology and need for sleep! The skill and talent of some Zenior Zombies helps, and maybe a spot of luck too [:o)]----------Think Covid's over ? Well no, actually... and we don't want your flu, gastro or cold germs either - so practise safe caching please! Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on Clean as you go and cache the countryside Big thanks to those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas, in nice safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun for all Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!! [:o)]C'est fini... For now... ... until next time!

Time for another crazy days caching with the cat, a warmish day enough to keep most parks and playgrounds muggle free and easier for searching, unlike some cannon caches this was a quick find for us today in the first spot we checkedTFTC GeoMitchri

Found it! Very well hidden! Thanks

The moment I retrieved this cache some ladies came over with their children to take a look at the machine. Very unfortunate timing...A very interesting cache in a very nice park.Find #247TFTC GeoMitchri

Found with 2011*turtle and Frugal Farmer (Jasper). TFTC

Found with vj187 and frugal farmer. TFTC

Tftc, took a while though!

Thanks for the cache

Easy with hint for little ones and great site and playground

Found my the geowife in seconds! TFTC!

Found

It's nice to have an old piece of machinery on display in a park. Sounds very much like a British brand, but who knows. It took much longer than it should have to make the find.
Thanks, geomitchri, for the hide.

Despite accurate coordinates, it could have taken quite some time to find the cache on this machinery. The hint was a great help and we quickly located the cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. We quickly headed back to the car as the rain started to fall.

Wow, that took longer than it should have. Come to this park often to give the geomut a run. Nice to get this one on the done list. Did it to keep my streak alive. Tftc

Found this with CherryRose. Not one of my favourite types of caches. I usually spend ages looking but this time was a relatively quick find. I swear I felt there but CherryRose spotted it from the opposite side. We’re a good partnership. TFTC TNLNSL

Quick find after reading some of the previous Logs. All good here & soon had Log signed & heading home to The Hills.

Over this way for a kids party, had to see what was in the vicinity. Liked this one, muggle tennis players weren't interested in us so it was easy to have a good look around, sent the Geokid under and up, cache was soon in hand TFTC

Mr Tardis was in the area today and stopped here to find this one. I've been at this GZ many years ago for a similar cache.

Today I must of had my mojo happening as I felt where the hint suggested and found the cache in the first place I felt - don't you just love it when that happens?

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache GeoMitchri.

A few muggles at GZ playing tennis and basketball but sufficiently far away for me to approach and undertake a search without drawing attention to myself
Quickly found the prize, stamped and returned.
Definitely a cache you feel as opposed to seeing
TFTC

Found It!
I'm pretty sure I've found a cache on this roller before. That didn't help in finding this one though. After quite a lot of searching I eventually put my hand on the cache!
TFTC

Found on our way past this afternoon while having a look around the area after lunch in the city. An nice park and interesting piece of machinery. Didn’t take long and the cache was in hand, all good here.

Find #5807 on 10 Jun 2023.
TFTC GeoMitchri!

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - Feb 29th, 2024. Keep the date free!

Last time I was here it was crawling with kids. No o e about today so o could search in peace.

I swear I'm going to tickle a spider doing this hobby one day. This is the second roller I've visited this week, I had a DNF at the last one but luckily this one was found with ease after a bit of manoeuvring. TFTC!

The clue helped but it still took younger eyes than mine to get the cache.

Nice quick find TFTC was intrigued by the people dressed in armpit battling nearby and I thought my hobby was sad! What a hoot

Had to be brave!!

I remember reading about this one when it was published, and the variety of comments at events shortly after. Today I happened to be nearby, and the target cache had muggles hovering, so I had some time to kill. I turned up, it was dark, I grabbed the torch and video and began poking here and there.

Eventually the little fella was spotted, and with the all clear from webs and creepies, I put my hand in for a quick and easy retrieve. I signed the book, and returned as found. Cache and book in good condition. Well that was quicker than expected, it would be one of the only roller/guns/trains/etc that I have managed to find.

Find #8305 at 6.11pm by torchlight in the dark. Nice rich colours on the imperial, very impressed.

TFTC

Popped by this one on the way home. We were a little worried as there was a barrier around the old machine. We could see it had just received a fresh coat of paint. Looks a couple of days old so it was a matter of felling around and not getting paint on our clothes. Luckily it was found quick. TNLN. Cheers.

Found it after a quick search, had a feeling it would’ve been right up there in its guts. Happy Easter, TFTC.

Tftc!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Been itching to get to do this new cache at this familiar location. However, the first few times I drove past, there were packs of muggles all around it. One time, no muggles so raced on and went straight to the spot where the old cache was, and of course, nothing. And of course, as soon as I tried to refocus, muggles. Back to The car and reread the cache notes, and realised my mistake.
Today, however, I knew what to do. First drive past, muggles... so went away and did another nearby cache. On the way back, the coast was clear, so wandered over, and within a few seconds, the cache was in hand. Log signed and then replaced as found. Very happy now.
Gratias pro cache GeoMitchri

Having gone in to uni today I decided to make the most of the good weather and find a few caches on the way home. After parking in an appropriate spot, I made the short walk to the cache location. I was never able to find the cache previously hidden at this location; it was either too good for me and not there when I searched for it. Once at groud zero it did not take me long to locate the container and sign the log. A nice cache in a nice spot.

Find #7449

Go on be brave and put hand in there.

Today I found 3 caches, including 1 mystery cache and 2 traditional caches. This was the last find for today.
Later afternoon, I went to the nearby cinema for an event. After that, I tried this cache as it's not far away.
GZ looks familiar. I recalled I had been there, for geocaching.
At GZ, cache has been found easily, with help of hint.
Signed the log book, and placed it back.
Thanks for the cache, GeoMitchri.

**News: South Australia will host a Leap Day Event on 29th February 2024. GCA1DNA: The Great Leap Forward. Submit "will attend" log if you are interested. Count down: less than one year.**

After an early morning brekky event it was time to come and find a few more new caches out this side of town. The weather wasn't all that kind, but I managed to miss most of the rain and didn't get too wet. [^]

I have been here previously and I wasn't super confident of a quick find. It took me a while but thanks to the hint the search area was narrowed down somewhat. I eventually felt the cache and retrieved it and my hands were covered in oil that took ages to clean off.

Thanks for the cache GeoMitchri.

Dragged geohubby along this time and made a quick find with his go-go gadget arms. TFTC

Owl was heading to the event the long way, picking up caches that had sprung up while she was on various holidays. Soon after she arrived in the park it looked like an entire party full of mini-muggles was turning up so Owl resorted to a PaF to make sure she was in the right location. Soon afterwards the cache and some very dirty claws were obtained.

Had a good look with the help of my 3yo. Nothing to show today but very greasy fingers and the realisation that kids put bark chips everywhere. Will come back another time to try again.

Today I headed around the base of the hills collecting a few caches whilst completing the new adventure lab that follows the unknown waterfalls.

A short stop here today, no one around made for an easy find.

Thanks for the cache

I went to check the cache and make sure it was all good and found it significant moved.

Please leave where you found that's part of the challenge!!!!!!!!!!!

Made this much more difficult than it needed to be .TNLNSL.Nice little roller - would be great to see it running again .Thanks GeoMitchri.

Ok. Made that greasier than needed. No way it was there where I found it this time!! Phew.

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

Headed out today to the other side of town with the main aim being the Glenelg Railway Route AdLab. There was also a list of physical caches to find on the way there or the way back and this was one of eleven found.
First for the day and with the hint narrowing things down it wasn't long before cache was in hand.
Thanks GeoMitchri for putting out this cache for us all to find.
Cache #12985 for me.

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

Hands covered on grease but TFTC

Found on my way to another tour through the northern suburbs to clear a few more symbols from the map. First cache for the day. Thanks for the cache GeoMitchri!

Imperial is just the diesel motor. The red bit with the cache. A lovely little single cylinder motor, McDonald 'Imperial Super Diesel'4, that could be used for anything where power is needed. In this case a roller. Burnside Council loves to leave their old machines in parks.

The cache was found in the last place I felt. Love your work.

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.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

You pwned us n00bs.

We will return.

Look look look. You are only as good as your next find.

Grease - no blood. Too good for me. Least I could watch the tennis.

Thanks and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

On the way out to elsewhere, I detoured via this new cache.
A great park that I've found a cache in previously..
[Play with Pikachu](https://coord.info/GC163XD)
In fact the one I found was only archived the same day this new one published...
Anyways, I found in pretty much the only place it can be.. nicely hidden.
Dropped my *FTF* geocoin through too.
Then raced off to my appointment..

Thanks
