Got the information easily from the plaque and sign.Then a short walk to GZ for a quick find.Nice hide!TFTC!

We resorted an online search as we didn't locate the required information at the published coordinates. Then it was off to GZ, where accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for this multi cache.

Since Ive nabbed a rare parking spot in the lead-up to school dismissal, I might as well log one extra cache while Im here. I wandered over from the nearby trad and this car park is also chock-a-block full, but nobody is in the adjacent park as far as I could see. Like others have mentioned in their logs, it was hard to glean the necessary numbers at the listed coordinates. One I guessed, the other I had no idea, and I decided to just try my luck by winging it. My luck was in! A quick find in the second place I looked.Thanks for this multi Allchin/Southern Cross Caching.

Out for long, hike and trying to find a few geocaches along the way.I couldnt find the information for one of the variables, so was basically just hoping I was in the general area. But there were so many hint items, that I just sort of breezed by. Oh well.

Adelaide and train trip Day 4. Blackwood Day 2. I have a few days in town before heading off to Darwin for the train part of my journey. My last full day out around town took me to Burnside to tackle several LAB caches around the area. While I was doing all the virtual tasks, I managed to locate a handful of physical caches along the way. There are plenty of option in he area and I had a great day out.Despite a long day, I was happy to be able to complete two multis. I had to be vary carful about the details, but I was happy when the numbers I had brought me to this cache.Thanks for the cache Southern Cross Caching44689.7 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & August 2017 Connecting with the Universe A#364**Albida**

Couldn’t find even after an extensive look. Rembabe420 and I assume it must have been moved during recent nature changes to the area by the council
 
07-May-23
Naughtybunny and I found the first number easily but it took a while to find the second. After doing the number-crunching, off we went to the final location. We both looked and looked and then had to resort to the clue. Yep - there it was. TNLN. Cheers.

A nice quick multi in a pretty spot. I did look there, but obviously I didn't *look* there because Chookster found it there a few minutes later!

After being startled by a friendly blue tongue that 8 y.o. stoney seeker thought was a snake, we were a bit cautious to go beating around the bush and wouldn't have thought to dig through the leaf litter if not for the hint. But there it was after a bit of coaxing and courage. Smile

A beautiful morning out celebrating sandelfs 70th birthday, with Jolly0. No information found out GZ, but the hint helped us find the cache

No idea where to find the required information but thankfully since it was for the seat digits of the coordinates I didn’t need to.
Always great to find such an old logbook in such good condition. TFTC!

Lovely day for it!

Quite a few cars in car park but not sure where the people are.

A little bit of water trickling in creek and a pleasant walk to GZ.

A leg less lizard was guarding the prize.

A nice park that I had visited before, but hadn't had the time to find this cache until this evening. I needed a multi-cache type for today's calendar day, so this cache timed in well. The numbers were quickly obtained, and then it was a short walk to GZ. However, it took a while to find, hunting in the dark with many logs around the place. It turned out it was camouflaged very well, and after 15-20 min of searching, the cache was eventually found. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Allchin for the cache placement, and Southern Cross Caching for its ongoing maintenance.
 
With restrictions about to ease even further, I think we can safely enable our caches for people to start finding again. Please remember to practice safe hygiene measures while out an about, remain safe and most importantly, have fun.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Hello everyone, in these terrible times and with the current government directive for people to stay at home unless it’s essential. We’ve made a decision to take our caches off-line to stop temptation and encourage people to stay home. If this goes longer than the allowable 2 weeks period and geocaching hq decide to archive them, then so be it. But let’s hope this is over as soon as possible with as little damage as possible, so we can all get on with our lives this great game in the conditions we are accustomed to.

Cheers and stay safe and healthy,
Shane and Josie

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Been passing by this one for a long tome now but it is always at a time when the place is completely muggled out. So I do not even bother to try to stop. This morning I was running early for work and decided to make the detour and see how the land lay.
Arrived in the area and while the car-park was filling up there were very few people milling around. Great. Wandered over to the listed coords after parking and looked at the information. The plaque did not match the info in the cache description but took a punt on a number and then started looking for some more information. Found that nearby and then had the numbers to generate some final coords. They looked good and to that place I wandered. Quickly identified the hiding place and located a cache, signed a log and replaced it in its hide.

I was keen to get a multi today, so slipped out to this one early this evening before heading off for dinner not too far away afterwards.

I read the couple of signs near the reserve entrance and quickly gathered the information I needed. From there it was a short and easy walk to GZ. I searched a couple of likely looking spots before finding the cache safely tucked away. I'm glad it didn't require any kneeling/crawling/etc as I wasn't really dressed for that!

Thanks Southern Cross Caching for maintaining the cache.

I found the required info as I was walking from the carpark to the nearby event in a lovely park that I had not been to before. [^] Worked out the coordinates for GZ and wandered over there with a few other cachers from the event to make the find. Big Grin
Was surprised to see Mrs Allchin walking towards us as we were walking back to the event. It was great to see her again and we had a lovely chat. [^]
Thanks for the cache Allchin. Smile

Cache #1879.

This Saturday morning, I attended a cache event in Wattle Park, and this multi cache was so close to the event venue. With a group of cachers, I signed the log book for this cache.

Thanks for the multi cache, Allchin.

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did in 2016. I cache with an assortment of cachers and never alone. In 2016 I cached with Moneydork, Ride the GeoWalrus, Locus Cacher, Liz & Bruce and Team Zouk. My log should match up with one of theirs. I enjoy every cache find I have made and do not for one second take for granted the effort going into each one, its just I'm very bad at logging my finds and I'm trying to improve. To improve I have to reduce the quality of my log and just get it over with -- for now. If I can form a good habit again I will return to my once more meaningful logging. Thanks heaps for hiding caches around South Australia that I could find!

Interesting history Smile Went after work on a rare of late, "fine" day on my bike to go grab me this 2nd Multi of the alvo. Wed, October 5, 2016 was the 'choice' day. My co-ords were just a little off but my caching instinct was utilized and the cache was soon in hand and the log was signed at 17:05. The log book was a wee bit moist so a zip-lock bag was provided for it [^] TNLN TFTC Allchin Smile

First multi cache woo hoo! A reasonably hard find after a tough workout at the tennis courts nearby. Originally thought the information was at the bell gate but found out otherwise. After some study of the photos we had a general direction of where the information was. Soon had the answers and was heading off to the co-ordinates. Even though the cache had not been found for just over a month geo mummy and I managed to find the cache. Clue was relevant and the cache co-ordinates accurate. Really think this cache deserves the thumbs up!! TFTC!!!
 
Fairly quick find in a nice area. Thanks for the cache Allchin.

Could not find it but it is a lovely park with other geocachers near by

As usual Owl did the hard work on one day and came back for the find on another. Took a bit to realise you needed to go to two locations for the clues, but the cache was an easy find and Owl managed to get it logged and back before the mini-muggles arrived for their school excursion. Thanks for another history lesson.

A very interesting history indeed, certainly much more than meets the eye. The council have also done a great job of restoring the creek line. Had no trouble finding the cache, it's location matched the hint. Thanks for the cache Allchin!

Out for a caching afternoon with Seek3rs.

I note that a recent cacher could not find this. It is still there, it is still where I found it the first time, it is well hidden. Be sure your co-ords are correct as there are a lot of logs about.
 
19-Jan-14
Caching with Knightyme ... he said this one was a nice easy multi ... so we went and did this.

Found the two pieces of information needed ... went for a short stroll and sound found the cache.

Seek3r-ed and found!

Didn't find it despite the excellent hint. I think the cache has been destroyed. There are many logs, but no two logs next to each other here now. It looks like some new logs have recently been cut up and redistributed in the area along with a bit of landscaping. But a nice spot I've never been to. Thanks.

Out with Brisal5 and Mrs M... grabbing a few nearby caches before catching up with Mr M for tea. A quick find.
Thanks

In the area with mogni and brisal5. This wasn't showing up in my GPSr, so we thought Mr M might have done it, As it was I was a helpful addition to the team, finding the second sign. I think mogni and brisal5 signed for me as well, if not, I hope you understand that I know where it was and which nice tracks we should take to get there as opposed to walking though the gardens. TFTC Margaret.
