Alexander Farm Mount Barker, South Australia, Australia
By JeffJulie on 12-Jan-24. Waypoint GCAJA7Z

Had a look, found a zip tie but no cache. PAF confirmed. Hope it is there on my next visit.

**Found by Snap Happy** Out and about with GoodLook as we take a look around Mount Barker area for the day. We are planning on heading to Yorke Peninsula to complete some GeoArt for a couple of days.Cache was in good condition after a fairly quick find thanks to good coordinates. The thing I love about caching is the interesting stories, the extra interest and attention you take when traveling, the sight-seeing, the history, the interests of the individual COs, *the fantastic photo opportunities* and sometimes finding places that even some locals dont know about. I, like most cachers, look for more than a mint tin or a container under a bush. I appreciate the time that most COs take to construct a cache and write up a comprehensive listing and to create an interesting cache. **I love traveling this big land of ours.** I love taking the roads less travelled. I love the diversity of the land, the different scenes in the different seasons, the fresh air, the open plains, the lofty vistas and the magnificent waters. I even enjoy the longer scenic walks although I'm not as young and as fit as I used to be. I love the different coffee shops I find. I enjoy the times I cache with others but I usually cache on my own.The weather was an overcast 15C and patchy showers with the rain holding off for the most part. The vistas stunning, the wheat fields almost ready for harvesting and I particularly love the architecture. The coffee shops and bakeries wonderful and the company fabulous. Many laughs ensued as we made our way North West.I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues. We left our mark in the log and replaced cache as found. Thank you JeffJulie for highlighting this area and for providing this game piece for our enjoyment. Appreciate your efforts. - P*Took:* Nothing*Left:* Nothing **Warning**, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to learning new things and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Cache on! **#19315**

After picking up the Rat from her nest we headed down to the Starfish's pool to join him in a Tuesday Mystery Tour he'd prepared for us in one of my favourite caching area, the hills. This was one of quite a few that I wanted.I was close, but not close enough, another find to the Starfish. The log was damp and fragile, due to a missing o-ring, quite common with these containers Thanks to JeffJulie for adding to the playing field with this cache.Cache #14999 for me.*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

Something special or unusual goes here:This took a little while to spot. After a few minutes searching fruitlessly I stepped back and there it was, right next to where Ttrogg was searching. The Generic Bit:Another Tuesday Trekking for the trio of puzzle solvers. My turn to plan, so Ttrogg picked up S.A. Sewer Rats and came to my pond to set out from there. [^] I planned a circuit down towards National Park for a few puzzles and then back to Mt. Barker but we decided to do the Mt. Barker area first whilst the sun shone. Didn't get to do many in National Park but there will be more Tuesdays to come. Of course we got a few close caches whilst passing as we made our way around the hills game board. ***Thanks JeffJulie for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Yay, time for a Tuesday mystery tour of the hills.The starfish had mapped out our tour of the hills.Ttrogg picked up the Rat from her nest.Then we set out to met up with the Starfish at his den.We quickly located the cache, and stamped the logbook.Replaced the cache. Tftc

We found it after searching around the area. TFTC

Found it

It was fun

This estate has been here for a fairly long time, and I used to drive this road frequently for work and to visit friends, but funnily enough I don't think I ever took much notice of the signs!TFTC JeffJulie

Great findGreetings from Belgium

We have made numerous visits to Mount Barker over the last five years and have watched the rapid increase in new estates but many of them were in the early stages. We returned today to attempt the caches that have been published since our last visit in August 2023. It is now obvious that we had previously seen only part of the housing boom in the area - the estates are much more extensive that we realised. The economic activity generated much be great for Mount Barker but we cringed at times with the design of many of the dwellings and the lack of space between many of the dwellings. We could not see ourselves living in such close proximity to neighbours.This cache took a few minutes to locate. It was only when one of us looked from a particular angle that the cache was seen. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks JeffJulie for this cache and for the series which took us to parts of Mount Barker that we have not visit before.

One of five Mount Barker subdivision caches by JeffJulie, which I think finishes off the series for me. So much new housing; where do all these people work?? The caches were all pretty easy finds, and are in good condition. Thanks for this cache and the series JeffJulie. FP for the series.

12:37Nearly there! one last day on the road, before The Great Leap Forward Event set up is in sight or maybe hearing! Another living space near Mt B. A bit tricky, but sighted it soon enough.Thanks to JeffJulie for hiding caches to be found en route to the Mega. 36591

Cache found in the last place I looked. What a busy road.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.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. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

Very sus spot. Felt awkward. Quick find though

Well this one took some time! Almost gave up as I felt really dodgy and lots of cars were going past. Looked everywhere except the one spot I though it would never be. Wow... OK... TNLN. Cheers.

Another local cache found. Thanks JeffJulie

That's a bold hide given the closeness of the neighbour's front yard. TFTC

Came by for a quick find. Glad no-one in front yard!Dropping my *FTF* geocoin through also...TNLNSL
