temporarily disabled for maintenance. Will be back up soon.

I haven't been caching for a little while now and i was starting to get withdrawals.

So Theshattells went for a nice drive to Port Adelaide area and grabbed some great caches. Thank you McKee Clan, this was number 1 for the day.

Theshattells 617

OI got attacked by mossies at this one - they were all over me!

Found it at 3:08:00 PM

Found a wet note book that we replaced. We brought the old book home to pass on soon.
Thanks McKee Clan for bringing us out caching to this area.

Quick find on a lovely winter's day

Looks like the tide has been higher than the cache.

May need a look at before the rain sets in.

Barker-Greenfields Wetland Walk 4 was transferred from SA_ParrotHead to user McKee Clan

Spent today caching with Bettyboo3747, driving into the capital.
We had a bit of time to kill so we figured that a wetlands walk would be just the ticket.
We followed your advice and started at #4. A short walk and the cache was soon in hand.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found with Robmc on our trip from Pt Wakefield to Adelaide. This was the first one of the series we attempted. Sad to see the cache in such poor condition. The log book was very full and very wet and in urgent need of some maintenance. TFTC.

An easy find today right where the gps said it should be. As per previous logs, log book was damp. Location is very close to the water’s edge. Drained container, but it really needs some maintenance or relocation to higher ground. Not much bird life today, but did see a bunny on the way out. Thanks for bringing us to these wetlands. TFTC TNLN SL.

Found It!
Interesting little place I've never been to before...
Cache was half full of water and the logbook was saturated.

Last find on the wetlands walk. I loved it here and i'm sure i will return for a stroll in the future TFTC

After a long walk in the sun it was great to get to the end, need some lunch badly sooooo hungry :D

Thanks for the cache and bringing me here

The log is wet will need some attention.

last o fmy finds in the wetland area today. The cache and log is damp. Did my best to dry it out. Needs further attention.

nice series pleasant walk. tftc

Thanks to locus cache for her company in collecting this easy find. TFTC

A nice find with MoorooducRobbos on her day trip to SA.
The wetlands weren't really pretty at this time of year: a bit dry and straggly but the potential is there for beauty with some more fresh water and wildlife
Couldn't finish the rest of the series as Mr MoorooducRobbos needed to be picked up so I have some to do on another day

Thank you for the Geocache - it was a nice walk.

Last cache of the day for us, not too tricky for geodaughter to find. A pleasant walk back through the Wetlands to the car!
SL @ 16.30, TNLN, TFTC

Somewhere else I never new existed. Nice walk. TFTC

The first found as I walk around the wetlands. Left patch.

First one for today, hoping the rain will stay away for the rest.
Pass by here twice a day but never stoped until now.

A stop at these wetlands ... first time stop .... but have passed it many times before. SL. Took dice, left shell.

Nice walk to cache site. SL TFTC

Last but not least! Nice easy one to end the afternoon's trailblazing... Took Snake, Left Dinosaur. Thanks!

Glad these wonderful caches are now FOUND!
Thank you for these, great series on an otherwise overlooked wetlands area!

Once done finding these I realized I had ridden way too far out of reach from the train line and much farther than I had expected I would have gone! I had a headwind there and back and barely made it back to Croyden Train station in time to catch the right train to pick up the kids from school!
Totally exhausted now!

Would have been a breeze, except my connection to the ethereal world of info decided to crash. Had to go back to paper-bound caching, but fortunately I had a list of coordinates to draw upon. By the time I was there, I had the gen.
Found it no probs. Tftc Sa PaRrOt HeAd.

It was a lovely winter's day, so I took the kids (plus one of their friends) for a nice walk through the wetlands. This was the first cache we encountered and was also the quickest to find.

Out touring with the Scoobies and found easily. Frogs were croaking and it was a perfect day.TNLN TFTC

Easy find whilst out on a caching adventure with FrogHoppin...
Loved the location.

Great day for a walkin the sunshine

Started at 4. Easy find and in good condition. Took Pathtag, lef button doll. SL TFTC

A quick find to geoD though we have to wonder how this cache fairs throughout winter? Cache contents were in good order and nice and dry.

TN Left Pathtag

Last one and then back to the car. It was wet. We dried it out. tftc

last of this section to get and a quick find was made cache had water in but log book was fine.

Nice quick find and sign. No cars doesn't refer to 4WD's does it?!?

Nice and easy find.

Found on our way back to Victor Harbor. Easy find.

Found on our way home after a few days in the Barossa.

After dropping the Venturers off at Laser Skirmish, time to track down some of the northern caches.

Parking was a breeze and grabbed the cache, although I wasn't sure if I would be on the right side of the water. TFTC.

mouldy but a nice find

Ah nothing beats that mould smell! I think she sprung a leak captain! Tried to dry a few bits out.. Thanks for the walk! nice adventure..

Our first 100% successful multiple cache trip - 5 out of 5. Found by Schnail and Co.
TN Left two items but I can't remember what they were...Within the 4 wetland caches we left a crocodile, a bouncy ball, an S.A. Water eraser, Tazzie Devil, a slinky, and a few other items I can't remember. What I do remember is an awesome walk, detours to avoid spiders, flights of ducks, centipedes, a million and one other bugs, flowing waters etc. TFTC

Found with Zak
Power. TFTC

Went past the right spot to start from initially, turned back, this time remembering the directions in the cache description. A leisurely walk with nobody around but the noise from the Sunday afternoon traffic. TNLNSL TFTC

Never knew these wetlands existed. TNLNSL. TFTC.

nice and easy find, met up with fellow cachers TeamJacob on this one
TFTC

First of the series today, but when I pulled up and recognised a fellow cachers car the walk was made all the more plesant. What a great little series where the kids could get out and run off some school holiday excitement. Really enjoyed this TSLS TFTC

TB "Flying Heidehexe" flew by for a visit

July School Holiday Fun - Day 1:
We set out on this beautiful, fresh Monday with high hopes for hitting 300 today - it didn't seem that unachievable. Ah, the best laid plans... Found 10 out of the 18 we visited. Well we are now another 10 caches closer the the next milestone - gotta be happy about that. I've wanted to do the Barker-Greenfields Wetland Walk series for some time... was worth the wait.
Thanks for the experience of the wetlands, SA_Parrothead

Cache was full of water, cleaned and dried it and replaced plastic bags.

Nice walking around Wetlands area.Nice found it good hidden safely.T.N.L.N.S.L.

found, thanks.

1st of 24 today. TFTC T: golf ball L: key tag

After driving this road for years, we've finally stopped for a walk. Cache was damp so dried it out. Took nil, left a waterdrop keyring. TFTC

Had this one already found late last year so just dropped by today to end the walk with a quick swap.
Cheers SAParrothead for the nice walk and great family friendly series.
We have decidied we'll come back in winter to see the wetlands in full flight.

After a long period of hart working this was the first free Sunday…. And what else should a cacher do with such a day?
Go out and get some more treasures and the rest of the day just enjoy your self an so did I and went to the beach at Glenelg.
Great sunny day. TFTC
Greetings from Germany

Found easily, but the container is not waterproof as I poured out a small quantity of water.
Thanks Parrots

The cache smells like my friends socks, all is damp but the logbook is fine. Thanks for taking us on this great walk.

On a caching adventure with TBG. One Walk five caches, great area. Thanks.

A nice walk with the kids and was definately pram friendly!

Thanks - Took toy gun, left eraser

We were on a roll and didn't have time for the full walk, so just did this first one closest to where we parked. Thanks SA_ParrotHead.

Found in the company of Winglen and McPhan during a caching visit from the ACT. Enjoyed the short walk here, but got a funny look from the lone walker who wandered past at an inconvenient moment.

2408. I wish we had more time to wander the whole length of this strip. Unfortunately on a flying visit you can only really do short walks so this one fitted the bill. Just after replacing this one a muggle with an unusual antennae in his hand wandered by. He also had some other equipment with him. If he was a cahcer he missed the mark.

TFTC and the barley seeds (yet again)

Rated: for Overall Experience

We found this cache as part of the Gangsters Team as we had our Invasion Weekend around Adelaide. This was an enjoyable walk from end to end. I'm assuming the water level doesn't rise much around here. The cache isn't too far from the water.
Thanks for the adventure.

Found this cache on our Adelaide invasion trip with Steeba, The Rats and FarmerFrentzen.

Thanks SA_ParrotHead for the cache, we all enjoyed the afternoon stroll through the wetlands for these few caches.

The first in our walk through the wetlands. It's good when caches are placed together as it makes a worthwhile trip. TFTC!

Easy find on a long walk with the GeoHound, interesting area - moved cache a couple of feet to slightly dryer spot.

The last one for the wetlands for us. Found this one floating in the water, so replaced it on land at original co-ordinates.
A little damp inside, but not waterlogged as was number two. The end of a lovely morning.
Had to fight of some pretty big mozzies here !

Found on a day exploring Mawson Lakes & Dry Creek

As I was walking past here on the way to the letterbox hybrid cache I thought I would stop by to try and find it. The cache was located in the open and very close to the water. I moved it back out of view and tried to wedge it between some branches to stop it moving again. I hope it lasts!

Thanks, I shall have to return to complete the rest of the walk at a later date.

A nice stroll along from number 3 to find the cache wet inside. Logbook not too bad.

A wander back along the highway to the car.

Really enjoyed this series.

This one was a little wet like the second of the series but the logbook was dry. TNLNSL. TFTC!!!

Find 5 for today and very happy, our best day ever lol.

Was a bit muddy but the kids liked that - it added to our day.

Thanks

forgot to add I took the travel bug and left a light up gun. Thanks

Easy find on a wet and muddy winters day.

Forgot to drop in tb in log

Found today just above the water line. Left a tb. Only did one of the series today, will return to do the whole walk another time. Thx SA_ParrotHead

Found by Sunshine Toledo at 10:25am. What a great walk for the 4 caches in this area on a beautifully warm Autumn day. TFTC

Looked but no luck.

Dropeed the boys off here, and it was my job to drive around to the 1st in the series and do the pick up. Aaron was going to drive, but my ankle was sore, so I said I would drive around - Dont like caching like that - firmly believe all of the team should be at GZ on the signing.

Decided to go to a nearby chemist and get some supplies for my wife, and grab some stuff from the Grocer. Then Drove around to #1. The boys were not there. Waited for ages, then drove back around to the start, #4. Waited. Not a sign!

Waited some more, then after about 2 hours decided they had left me to it - so to speak!

Headed back to home base, grabbed my stuff, left there stuff, and drove back here, just to make sure I was not mistaken, Nope, not a soul about.

Decided I would walk the track to make sure they had not come to harm, though this would be unlikly.

Found the cache, noted all 3 of our names in the log book.

Moved on to the next, thanks for the interesting experience!!

Found with Kiwi Explorer after a short and pleasant walk. Glad we enjoyed the walk as our trip was about to change. Water is definitely needed to bring these wetlands back to life.

Crossed the highway again.... very carefully.

All in all, a pleasant walk. Thanks for the series.

After zooming past this place many times and thinking we should go for a walk there, caching has finally given us the prod to go here. TFTGC.

Found quickly this morning on bicycle.
An interesting place for a series of caches. Would be great to see it all in the winter.

After a DNF several months ago, it was a relief to find ths one quickly late this arvo. TNLN, TFTC.

this was the first one we found today, thought we would start at the end of the trail. The kids found this one quite fast. TFTC. sorry logged in as 3/2/09. TN, L dinosaur.

After noticing a couple of DNFs, we didn't know what to expect, but found the cache easily. GPS was spot on the GZ. Thanks for the series Parrot, great spot and good exercise!

Ran out of time yesterday and didn't attempt thism cache. Nipped back at first light this morning to wrap them all up.

Interesting resting place for this cache if it is still at the original GZ....

Cheers
