Find-a-Name Clovelly Park, South Australia, Australia
By Team Ermalesh on 16-Jan-07. Waypoint GC10CW7

This week it was a Tuesday Trek, picked up the Rat from her nest then meet up with the Starfish in Glenelg at a cache we'd had to DNF the last time out. Then we trekked south again to the green pastures of Woodcroft, picking up a few on the way. Quite a variety of types and difficulties were found with all three of us ending the day quite happy with what we'd been able to find, but unfortunately there was one DNF for two of us, sometime we'll reverse that I'm sure.
This one was the DNF, the nearby building works didn't provide any barrier to getting to where we thought the cache should be, and after checking with a previous finder where cache had been found but no cache was found today. Can't help but think it's gone AWOL, hoping that the CO will check on availability.
Thanks to Team Ermalesh for putting out this cache.
Cache #13654 for me.

****SA’s Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!****

Woo Hoo time for a Tuesday Trekking.
The Trio consisted of the Rat, ttrogg and the Starfish.
The plan was for ttrogg to pick up the Rat from the Rat's nest.
Then it was on to meet up with the Starfish.
Today the trio ventured south following the boxes.
The sneaky Rat and ttrogg searched GZ but could not find the cache.
Could the CO please check on this cache.

This one is not accessible atm due to building works.

I don’t get down to the south of the city very often these days,. However I attended the event this morning at Somerton Park, followed by the CITO at O’Halloran Hill and took the opportunity to find a few caches of Interest, including this one, before heading home.

This is a solved puzzle I’ve had sitting in my unfound list for many, many years. It was good be be able to finally get to it!

Thanks Team Ermalesh for the puzzle and the cache.

3rd find today on QE2 Memorial Day. TFTC Log in good condition. Cheesefromarj and Dwilkox

Found while attending a appointment for the female side team at the cardiologist checking to see if she has a beating heart TFTC

Heading to town for the Port game this afternoon, of course with a few caches along the way.

9 finds for the day before and after the game and Port won so good day all around.

After seeing this cache was replaced I returned.

Easy find here today.


Cache retrieved and signed with stamp.

Thanks Team Ermalesh for this cache.

This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1258.

Sunday drive and walk with the geo-pup. All good here, TFTC

A fun weekend away with Davidwazza and Baby Warren! TFTC!

This Anzac Day weekend, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I were back in Adelaide whilst attending a wedding. We took the opportunity to catch up with family and friends introducing our newest member of *Team Warren*, and where we could, we visited a few geocaches that I had either missed during my residency, or new geocaches published in the last 1.5 years.

This morning, whilst [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I visited friends in Melrose Park, we had some available time to find a few geocaches in the south-west of Adelaide around Clarence Gardens. I was then able to tempt jesswrigley in driving south to Bedford Park / Flinders area where we were said hello to Trim (a newly published virtual cache).
After lunch, I needed to return my fishing TOTT, so it was a last chance to find a few Goodwood geocaches before then heading to the airport.

I previously visited this geocache in early 2021, but unfortunately I didn't have any luck in making this cache find, so had to leave empty handed. Since then, it appears that several replacement cache containers have been left at this location, and I was curious to know whether the CO was ok with this practice. In any case, with us being in the area, we took a another look here, and the cache was a quick find, in an area that I had looked during my last visit (it is always helpful when the cache is actually there!). The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Team Ermalesh for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Yay. Found it. Many thanks for the smiley!

Well that was a funny half hour killing before work. Dropped the monkey off nearby, parked nearby to find any solved puzzles nearby. I had discounted this one last week and then saw a green light on it. Thanks gridge98 for the maintenance. Still lots of work going on nearby but it was lunch and they had other things on their minds!! A quick grab then back on my same ride here, how kind of it to wait.

Thank you for placing it for us to find. Thank you for contributing to the geo map and maintaining when required. TFTC

Replaced! After having no luck and this appearing to have gone I replaced to keep it going

Today with no real plans I decided to head down south for a walk in onkaparinga gorge and also collect a few other caches on my way to and from home. A nice drive around and also 18,000 steps for the day.

Thanks for the cache

After passing through the area today I decided to give this one a go.

Solving the puzzle was a relatively easy task, however, I could not find any cache at GZ.

I searched around for a few minutes but had no luck.

I expanded my search radius but suddenly a nearby construction muggle had appeared from no where, so I slowly backed away, I lifted my head and there was a big spider only centimetres away from my face.

Watch out for creepy crawlies while geocaching.

Given previous DNFs I'd say the CO should check this one.

We are pretty certain we had the right coordinates and we looked and looked and looked. Scratched around in the bark but alas the cache was not to be seen.

A fairly sizeable branch has come down from the Gum, not sure if it was under there or not but couldn't really get clear access if it was. Might need maintenance possibly.

Enabling cache.

Hi
Team Ermaleh.
I have disabled this cache and will be emailing you to seek some details about the listing.
Regards Tchingal

Thanks for replacement.. can now log the find..

Checked with a prev finder, and i had the same coords, so went to GZ and hunted around with a stick to make sure it wasnt covered by bark. Couldn't find anything. Wanting to keep this one alive I have replaced the cache with a film canister and a log. Please BYO pen.

Just visiting nearby and had some TBs that needed to ‘visit’. Will have a look at the puzzle later for sure.


GeoVenture Mega Event at Millicent, still looking forward to it!! A new date has been set for October 2nd 2021 now. Have a look at GC82DAN.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

is this cache still there?

Emailed CO August 2020 - for confirmation that cache still in situ. No response to date. I do not know this CO for other means of contact.

been a while since a find has been logged. parked my car for work and popped to puzzle co=ords... nothing observed resembling a cache... unless it is an empty gin bottle...
PM CO to confirm still in situ.... as of 1/09/2020 no response,,,

I was feeling confident when arriving at my calculated GZ but no cache to be found. Will head home and check my calculations again.

Tftc. I work in the FMC and have been meaning to do this for ages. Took a muggle colleague with me.

A quick find before heading home. Unfortunately the log is in need of replacing and I did not have a spare on me. Thanks for the cache! #818

Found It!
I solved this puzzle quite a while ago now. I then went to GZ years ago and left with a DNF. Today I came back for another attempt. I found the cache on the grass just out from it's hiding spot so I put it back.
TFTC

Continuing our journey south the long way towards Victor Harbor, quiet a few puzzles were solved prior to departure from Qld and we hoped to pick up a few. Eskies5 and I decided to head in and search for this one . Happily we got the perfect car park and headed towards GZ and started searching. Soon we had the hide in our hands after a little scratching around. An added bonus to this one as it hasn’t been found since July last year, happy to give this one a little love. TFTC Team Ermalesh

Kestal and I are down from Qld for a dedicated geotrip to tick off some geo-goals...After scoring the perfect park in the shade not far from the cache, we wandered over for a straightforward find on this unloved cache. TFTC Team Ermalesh.

After stuffing up the puzzle first time and finding nothing in a car park we ended up in I reworked the puzzle but sadly we couldn’t find a cache at our revised GZ Rex did enjoy a run around though! Will watch TFTH

Decided to have one last look aided by the torch and something caught my eye TFTC was looking for something bigger

I solved this one a few days ago and made the walk down today after having lunch. I had the area to myself thankfully and made a quick find. Logbook is quite damp and tattered. TFTC!

In the area for a meeting this morning and was able to solve the puzzle before heading out. Nice when that happens. Nice old relic at GZ. TFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awsome effort. [:(!]

I like it.

Another one off the list.

A lizard distracted us from the cache

Found tonight with squeak11. Short search and found it well hidden although different type of container than the one listed and no swaps inside. Log needs replacing but found a spot to sign. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Found with Marvin277. No boys toys. I guess Thomas is all grown up now.

TFTC! A quick driveby to find this one. Cheers

Quickly solved the puzzle and found GZ without any problems. A couple of minutes of looking around, checking possible hiding spots and ... ... ... YAY! TN, LN, SL. Thanks for the cache.

GZ was obvious but the actually hide took me awhile . Thanks Team Ermalesh

Picked this one up on the way home from work @ 5:30pm.
Had it solved for a couple of months.
Log was damp but could still sign. Starting to fall apart.

TFTC Team Ermalesh

The puzzle solved without problems. A really quick and easy find. TN, LN, SL, TBs visited. Thanks!

Solved this one last week (Love word search puzzles [^]) Today Sat 28 Jan 2017 was the day to go get . Made my way to the hide but there was a Muggle ball-game on. They were not the slightest bit concerned about a wee blue birdy flicking about GZ ha ha SL at 10:15. The log is somewhat old and tatty but is still signable and is dry [^] TFTC Team Ermalesh

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Had to head down this way to visit a friends uncle in the nearby establishment and had a look and saw this puzzle. Opened it up and quickly solved it and got coordinates that looked plausible.
Headed down and after the visit made my way to GZ.
Muggles about 50+M either side but concentrating on other things so a stealthy search was able to be conducted.
Spent more time searching than I should have, as I was looking for a certain type of container given the description. Finally unearthed a container very different from the description which contained a logbook which was extracted and signed and then replaced. Like these types of puzzles.
Gratias Pro Cache Team Ermalesh

Found this one with Megan who, as it turns out, is a dab hand at find-a-words, so this was solved in no time at all. Cache was well hidden. TFTC Team Ermalesh!

Found it (with Team SoExp)!Thanks for the great cache!

We ('Library Ladies', 'The Jackaroo', and me) are in Australia (from the U.S.) having a great, road-tripping/geocaching holiday!
We sign some of the caches we find as "Team SoExp" to save room in the logbooks.
In advance of our trip, we solved many, many puzzles for Unknown Caches - and this "puzzle cache" is one we ('Library Ladies', 'The Jackaroo' & myself) really thought we must find!
We circled round a couple of times, trying not to look too awfully suspicious to a large group of Sunday morning runners.. eventually we were able to suss out the hiding place of the container.
We signed the dry logbook, and then replaced we it where we found it.
We're having a huge amount of fun, and cachers like you helped to make it possible, so, Thanks!

Found with Roogles!. We are a group for of cachers from Texas and are using the team name Team SoExp. This was a fairly quick find, we just had to wait for the runners to pass before retrieving it. I enjoyed working on this puzzle. TFTC.

Went to FMC to do some Easter face painting. Solved this whilst we were there and headed to grab it on the way home. Luckily I used a large stick to get this one out as it came back with an inch ant on it. TFTC

Came down to Flinders Uni to pick up Geo-daughter. Came an hour early so I could do some caching.
Lucky I did as her last hour was cancelled, but I still had just enough time to search for this one. Once and then twice around GZ with nothing apparent. Time to grab a nearby tool (stick) and poke around where I would put it. Fairly well buried but out it came, Log signed and replaced with some camo. Thanks Team Ermalesh.

Found in obvious spot. Log fairly damp but managed to sign.

So Flinders Uni is geodaughters Uni of choice and she solved this one last year and has attempted to find this before.
Today, she showed the family around and sorted out subjects and books. Her and geomum went looking for this one (geodaughters second attempt and geomums first) and much to geodaughters disgust geomum walked right up to it! So nice quick find; thanks for the cache. A note to future finders: the logbook is rather full.

TFTC. Once upon a time there were a group of psychiatrists who were told about an outdoor game called geocaching by two of the team. Intrigued by the concept and wanting to experience this adventure they chose an appropriate cache- a mystery cache that was easy to solve, and on the grounds of the hospital!
At the GZ the consultant psychiatrist found the cache quickly and a philosophical discussion arose regarding what kind of container could be called a sistema.
Consequently, a new word was coined today: sistema-esque!
Everyone had a lot of fun and we enjoyed the cache!

Finally got the chance to return armed with the info of how big the container was and that it actually was there. Still took a bit of searching before it was in hand. TFTC.

Quick find on my way home from work. The log needs replacing as it is just little bits of paper. I added my little bit of paper to it. TFTC

after our brush with security on bizarre lookout I meet rod81w near final wp and we walked down to find a cache. At the time of turning on the torches and looking for cache I was wondering " how am I going to explain this " if security turns up AGAIN? luckily all that turned up was a cache in my hand and then happily of uni grounds, then off to start climbing up and down hills in the dark looking for next blue dot.

Out with sir_spectre night caching and after I eluded the security I had to walk from the uni to gz and wait for sir_spectre to finish being stalked by uni security.
Tftc team ermalesh

A quick find with the usual suspects. TFTC

This cache was one of the very first puzzles I solved... back in 2008-09! I've been waiting since then for an opportunity to drop by and finally that chance came. The cache wasn't too hard to find and we were soon on our way!
TFTC

Another one to cross off the 'solved but unfound' list. TFTC

Nice easy puzzle and quick find.
Cache was not as described, but maybe there is a prior log explaining why.
Popping pills!
TFTC

Driving past GZ in the middle of the night. What better time of day than to search for this one in the Dark when all the sensible muggles would be home asleep. A quick search at GZ turned up the little container. Name added, now off home to bed myself. TFTC. 3/10/2015, 00:14 Find #830

Had a good look as well, all 4 of us, but no luck.

Gave the tree a good search but no cache was found...

After picking up Mrs frog from singing practice we headed off with Mattycat for a few caches around the area, a older cache was soon finally crossed off the list a long ago solved puzzle TFTC Team Ermalesh

Out for an afternoon/evening of cache hunting fun with Mr and Mrs Froghoppin.
Nice to be back in an old stomping ground
tftc

Solved this a few days ago but had no time to go out because of my School Graduation and Formal… Was out with (now not so muggle) mother for a cache hunt around her old university, so picked this one up on our way around Took a while to find, a conveniently placed bit of fallen bark was in the way… TFTC ^-^

At flinders today with the little one.
Found the names then the cache.
Only 300m from the room my son is staying in.

Find #935 [^]

FUn puzzle to solve. found the steps after a bit tricky but I managed to find it. TFTC found with Gnailly

Weekends are the best time to cache in this area, mainly to improve the parking availability. So popped down to grab this one on the morning before the AFL Grand Final. Had solved it some time ago, but was saving it up as we fill in the caching calendar. Nice quick find and sign, but I had to take care when putting the log back as it seems quite fragile. Now off to the bottlo to pick up a carton of beer before the game..........


Thanks Team Ermalesh!

Owl solved the puzzle some time ago, but she is normally only in the area when it is full of muggles and lacking parking. Today she had just returned her academic gown and realised it was completely free of muggles and had numerous free parking spaces. A quick detour and the cache was hers. Just as well - she doesn't need to come back here for quite some time! Thanks for a fun puzzle and the challenge.

Solved the puzzle with ease (several times as lost copies) a while ago. Finally got to go out hunting with my lovely daughter on a day that started out wet and cold and ended up sunny and not so cold. Found where we thought our prey was hidden but could not find. Went home and came back a bit later in the day (only soccer players nearby) and were successful this time. TFTC!

GeoKid solved the word find with ease, but needed learn what a "phone pad" was to work out the final numbers (familiar with the object and the number- letter link but she didn't know what it was called!). Once she had that critical piece of info she produced accurate coordinates with ease. Saved the find for August and the #7ofA challenge so she could claim the Puzzler souvenir. TFTC and the solvable kid friendly puzzle.

Started out on my own today with the aim of cleaning up a few on my solved but unfound puzzles list. Managed to knock three off and a few traditionals before it was time to pick up NZ guests MorganEd and Cougar hunter for the McKee CITO event. Then it was off on a caching run with locus cache joining our group.

I went after this one some time ago and came up empty, mainly because the side I discovered the cache on today had some picnic goers last time. Today I was uninterupted in my search and an area I glossed over last time yeilded the cache. Very happy to have this one of the ToDo list.

This find was number 3 of 22 for the day. TFTC Team Ermalesh!

My first puzzle cache. Solving the puzzle was easy enough. But being a newbie at this I had trouble converting the puzzle solution into the correct GPS coordinates. Using the DMS format at first sent me off to the wrong GZ yesterday and had me wandering around in circles to no avail.

Thinking about it again I worked out the right format and went to those coordinates in my lunch break today. Found it immediately!

TFTC

Ismartis was having an adventure with locus cache today and ended up here.

Now I hadn't solved this puzzle but the puzzle is now on my list of to be solved. LC made the tricky find here.

TFTC Team Ermalesh!

Ismartis and JJ52 wanted a day out caching, in Harry and accompanied by Brodie, and today was that day! Ismartis and I locus cache'd a few on our way to get JJ52 and then we all spent the afternoon caching together
2 DNF's for the day and 32 smileys including a kayak FTF and a great goldfields walk, too! [^]

Got to love a puzzle that even I can solve
A quick find today, too, in a deserted area which was very lucky as the spider (whose name we didn't find) had built some very clever and effective cache camo over the cache!

TNLN. SL. TFTC Team Ermalesh

first puzzle find and first find without my team mate. nice and quiet afternoon visiting my uncle in the hospital and decided I would go for a stroll to clear my head and find a cache. very pleased with this result.

Had completed the puzzle a while ago and it was just waiting for me to call in to GZ to find the cache. Tonight was the night on the way home from work. Lots of muggles training and playing on the ovals, but no-one near GZ so I had an uninterrupted hunt. After circling for a while I found the hidey hole and soon a cache. [^] [^] Signed the log and replaced then headed home.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Team Ermalesh.

Having difficulty with iPhone coordinates, is it on the oval?

A quick solve with geodaughter who helped with the wordfind. She then opted to stay home while geoson #2 came out for the find. GPSr was pretty spot-on and we had cache in hand after moving a few spider webs. Thanks Team Ermalesh for the cache.

Had a quick look around with the limited time I had available but no cache for me today

A nice easy puzzle but a not so easy find in the dark. Although it's Saturday evening, there was training on the West side of the parking lot, here's hoping we were clandestine enough with our torch TNLNSL TFTC

I like to find puzzle caches for my "multiple-hundred" finds. I was trying to find one closer to home, but failed miserably (leaving me miserable). This one has become very close to my workplace, as I have just started at Flinders Uni. Solving it rapidly at home last night, I proceeded to leave the GPS at home in the morning, forcing me to do it all Bob-style. A half-hour wander at lunch time and number 800 has been logged.
Thanks Ermalesh

In preparation for our visit to South Australia we attempted a number of puzzles before leaving Tassie. This was one of them. The puzzle didn't take too long to solve. Today we went to look for the cache. The first task was to find a park. We gave up - one of us went to look for the cache whilst the other drove around. The cache was a quick find but the log was hard to extract from the container. The paper has deteriorated and is falling apart especially as it it pulled from teh container. Thanks for the puzzle Team Ermalesh and thanks for the cache.

Had this 'tricky' puzzle worked out for some time, and today were finally in the area so decided to make the find. TFTC.

Found it quickly once the puzzle was sorted. Found in the dark after visiting Echo and the latest member of DeltaEcho who was born in the nearby hospital 3 days ago now home to the older echo child who is staying with grandparents TFTC

Geokids solves the puzzle a little while ago. A stroll from the office today and a relatively easy find. TFTPC.

Wow, this cache must be 5 1/2 years old about now
Soccer on today so parked illegally, but quick grab all the same.
TFTC Mr T

Easy Puzzle, nice greens... TFTC!!!

Cool puzzle - I like the ones that you know how to solve and you just work away at it - much better than the mind bending 'I wonder if this is it' cipher ones.
Was a beautiful day today. TFTC.

Had this worked out a while ago. No problems today with muggles so an easy find. Thanks Team Ermalesh.

We attempted to do this one at about 3.30pm on a weekday afternoon, not a good choice of time. We drove on by and came back later and it was much quieter. After a lovely stroll the cache was in hand the log signed and we were on our way to another. TFTC

We drove into cache site at end of school and the whole place was over run with muggle children waiting for the bus. We drove on. Later in the day it was very much quieter. Easy cache. Thanks Team Ermalesh

Plenty of muggles about today in the warm evening sun and great stealth was required. The old 'pretending to be on the mobile' came in handy and the visitors would have been none the wiser. I didn't stop and ask for their names either.
Tftc Ermalesh

Nice simple puzzle, all worked out. Found easily enough. TFTC

counting down to 100 mystery caches, 24 to go!

very belated congratulations.
Found on a wet day but the girls were out in it playing soccer so why not?
TFTC

Nice little night time driveby. TFTC.
