Thank you RedWombat
My final day in Adelaide, travelled from Perth WA to visit family here, and grab as many GA caches as can squeeze in. Spoilt by such lovely weather and friendly locals.
During this trip achieved 4x FTF's (GA), picked up a dozen moveables; plus the highlight being my D/T grid (GC) now filled after finding one up a tree.
Huge THANK YOU to local cachers: J&J, Laighside Legends, andrewbt, Atreyu1982, Blackadders, OzGrumpy, weredunn4 & Jacknor whom all contributed towards my success.
What an adventure, visiting: Adelaide CBD, Showground, Glenelg & Seacliff Holdfast Bay, McLaren Vale, Onkaparinga, Hawthorndene, Carrick Hill, Kensington Park, Teringie, Prospect, Elizabeth, Port Adelaide, Garden Island, Gawler, Nuriootpa Barrossa; and an impressive collection of planes at Greenock Aviation Museum!

i tried but couldn't find it today, I jumped the fence, I checked all the gum trees, I just could not spot that needed plastic to make the find. I has been awhile between finds for this one, hopefully it is still there.
Staying in Adelaide we grabbed this cache whilst in the area. Thanks Redwombat.
A lovely day for a walk today. Parked about a half kilometre away and enjoyed the wander along the Torrens to get to GZ.
Still took me a little while scratching around in the bushes before the rewarding 'thunk' of a cache was heard Log book was quickly signed, returned to it's camo and I was off to complete my walk
Cheers & TFTC Redwombat

I and my friend had great fun finding this cache!

A reasonably quick find during a nice morning stroll along the Torrens. Very quiet and peaceful along here today.
Thanks REDWOMBAT.

Dad found it first. The kids were looking under the wrong tree. A lot smaller than expected. Phew. Might go look for another before dark ...

A lovely little hidden spot along the river.
Found in the third spot that I tried and a nice little spot to stand and watch the ducks swim down the river. In the past I have seen a turtle near here, but alas not today.
Also no muggles passed by, which would be a rarity at lunchtime on a weekend; nor did I need to adjust the zip when re-emerging

Found It!
A relativity quick find today. I really don't know how I missed that last time...
Perhaps I shouldn't go caching at night...
