THE ADELAIDE TRAVEL BUG CONNECTOR Mile End South, South Australia, Australia
By Rowenjosh on 08-Jul-07. Waypoint GC147YP

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

The Cache may have been muggled on a regular basis recently. We are sorry if any of your bugs have gone AWOL.

We will attempt to move the cache to another spot within the vacinity.

Thank you for your patience.

This was an interesting spot- left a couple of TBs to keep travelling on their way and watched a few trains. TFTC!

12.09..... Found it quick and easy but there was missing things except left empty containers with a pencil and a note. No TB or Geocoin to be seen. I was at ESTA Park to watch a National Deaf Netball Club Championship. TFTH

Found this one out in the open, the covering looks like it had been blown off.
Looked in side but there are NO TB's to be found in any of the containers so i assume the last finder has taken them all.
So ignore the details sheet as they are all gone.



Cheers SLTFTH

What a great idea this cache is!! I'm heading to Alice Springs on the Ghan train and cleared out the "domestic travel TB's" container. There was Buddy Lee TB, Melbourne TB, and Penguin TB. (No other TB's taken by me, despite pamir52's hint of accusation! And they are already in new caches)

Stopped by to check the latest passengers waiting for transportation. None going my way today, but I dropped off BUDDY LEE TB. He wants to go off to the Middle East. Maybe some RAAF guys heading that way can help him get there.

I have been meaning to visit here for a while. Lots of bugs.

Stopped by one of my absolute favorites. Dropped 4 trackables; picked up 4; and discovered two more.

Easy find good cache

coin drop

Dropping off TB's to further their missions

Oops, better drop the bugs............

We had a couple of Travel Bugs that we picked up in Melbourne that were looking to travel overseas. We were headed down this way for the afternoon today so we thought this would be the ideal cache to drop them in.

Left Competition-Racer Coin (Racing to Denmark)
Maddie Bear (Wants to go to Italy)

returned

found and had to remove it because of muggle activity in car park across the rail tracks ..... returned a little while later to more muggle activity empting the bins!!! will return tomorrow and replace in its hiding hole.

Ladybirds found this cache, have dropped off Ladybug Geocoin and Fat Rocky Dog to the departure lounge to continue their journey. Only 1 TB seen. Not able to help this one out with its mission. TNSL

Found on the way to pick up the rels from the Airport [^]
Cache was exposed and contents scattered all around so I did my best to return it where I thought it should be ...
Retrieved Agent Jess TB that was obviously too big as the lid wouldn't close ... Looking at the TB & GC List I think they are all accounted for ... SL TFTC from postiegirl06

Dropping off TB 'Melbourne' to make its way east.

Found this cache with froghoppin and have since created my own team name and currently logging previous finds after discussions with other cachers at a recent event TFTC

Caught up with TB Agent Jess again but no other TB's in the connector at the moment. L TB Pinguin TFTC

Left Agent Jess to discover the rest of Australia

No Other Bugs to collect though

found this one just before leaving to perth. unfortunatelly there were to TBs. tftc

I'm off to NSW this weekend so thought I'd call in and checkout any TBs to take. Took the 2 TBs and will call back early next week with some from there.

Two visitors in; two out. At the moment, there are exactly two trackables in the cache. The following are listed as being there, but are not: Australia Bound, Long Diagonal, and "Karamay, China" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug.

back again, only cache i can find big enough for 'tb french curves'

This cache is a great idea but unfortunately our TB was too big for the 'Arrivals Lounge' TNLN Thanks Rowenjosh, sure will will use it in the future.

Quick drive-by but the cupboard was bare.

Lots of cars out the front and could hear noise inside but not a soul out the back. Wanted to check this one out for future use. Today not a travel bug in sight. I guess they are all travelling. Thanks for a very organised cache and well hidden but easy to grab.

Will the next person that finds this cache let me know if my travel bug is still in the cache. It's Australia Bound. It has been there since 2/22/08 Thanks mobdic

Second visit to show a new one to the game.
t: unite for db tb

Found 200805061150 . If any ARTC noticed my crossing railway tracks (twice) to get to GZ there was no reaction . The cache was found easily and a few TBs released to travel East to Victoria

Cheers Rowenjosh

Had a short stopover in Adelaide on our train trip from Sydney to Perth.
Left Canadian Traveller TB, Took Droopy TB and Butterfly TB and will take them west.
TFTC

Logging TB

Dropped in on the way to IKEA only to find the travelbug I thought I had in my bag was actually on my desk at home... dammit! Nice and quiet this morning, no one about.

Easy visit with very few onlookers. A purposeful visit to drop off our first TB. Good luck Spodge. Hear from you soon.

Easy to find lots of bugs waiting for a ride.TFTC

An easy drive by cache. Have been meaning to do this one for ages.
Found with KREDS 1:30pm
Discovered TB's adn GC lounging around. Left geocoin in international lounge...needs to make its way back to Rhode Island. Took Gorilla TB.

A quick drive by after watching cousin play netball, then onto the next one. TFTC TNLN

Found this one - no probs! Took a TB to take on our overseas adventure.

had to find this one so i could drop off some goods!

left monkeying around oz, butterfly and unite for diabetes belgium TBs

tftc, rowenjosh, this is a fantastic idea...

s-ando (cmb)

Find 218 without a GPS at 11.00am
Found on second visit went straight to it this time
Last time was in the winter with lots of soursobs about
No TBs to drop off and no new arrivals but now I know where the TB connector is located
TFTC TNLNSL

Found whilst waiting for the Boss nearby.
Last day of Adelaide’s record heat wave, at 3pm its 41 degrees here at GZ.

Now I know where I can put the bugs left over from the Pub Lunches.

Cheers from Barra

Last find on the long hot day of caching fun with Foxzami.

last find for the day. didnt have any TB on us though.

10.15.....What a great idea and one which should be encouraged at every airport.

Took 3 TB's from 'International'to be placed overseas.
Placed 1 TB in Domestic and 1 TB in International

Correcting a misplacement of another TB

Picked up 3 TB's that have been idle for awhile to move along to Canberra. Real log date is 11 Feb but program won't let me enter that date as it is very early on 11/2/08, Monday morning.

We found it. I thought it was excellent idea for cachers who want to take them to other staes or overseas.I dropped two TBs one was Ingendo and the other was White Frog and took one TB Bug#3. thanks

Found the cache, accompanied with Lava12 and Joan... Great idea about travel bug connector etc. Dropped the BUG ME #3 for Lava12. SL. Thanks Rowenjosh for organising the cache and hunt.

Found during 24hr cac-hunting run, Accompanied with Varuna and Everlasting as our Driver, Found 120 caches out of 137 including 17 DNFs and the missing caches. Thanks for organizing the cache and hunt.

24hrs cache-hunt run by snapper!!! and varuna, with Everlasting (Driver). A nice and quick find. Thanks for bringing us to the spot. Next time I'll know where to drop/pick up the trackables when in hurry or heading to the airport.

We couldn't let a beautiful day go by without a spot of Geo caching. We were surprised how exposed this cache was and hopefully it will stay out of harms way for a long time. We dropped off a TB and took the Travel Slug. The international TB was a little full. Thanks so much for giving us something to do on the Australia Day weekend.

Popped in to see if there were any TB's or Coins in the domestic lounge but alas, only overseas travelers. Will look again before I leave for QLD....

found in the dark, wanned to see all the TBs.
TNLNSL TFTC

Find number 1270, Mr MadMyers and I found the cache fairly quickly before heading back to the car for Everlasting to drive us to the next one. Thanks for placing this cache which helped us find 189 today. Cheers The Nanks

As MrMadMyers and MrTheNanks were on a great adventure finding caches they did not take any travel bugs out of this cache. This fact caused much anguish to the geokids and geowives back at the caravan park. A revisit may be in order. Thanks for the cache.

Riding down the hill was fun. Riding up again, less so... We'll have to come back past here in a couple of weeks, when we head for Taswegia (does that count as "overseas"?!).

TNLNSL. TFTC.

I came, I saw, I dropped off 2 bugs - Including the release of my second usbug. may it travel well!!

Dropped by to grab some TB's to go to Melbourne with me but the only domestic traveller wanted to go west.
Dicovered all the TB's in residence though.
I think i forgot to sign the log too, oh well i will return.
TFTC

Found on my way from work to a quiz night at westies footy club.

A nice quick find, with the only other moving thing around a freight train that was slowly grinding its way past.

Since this was an impromptu stop, i didnt have any TB's or coins with me, so nothing was exchanged

TNLNSL

What a great idea, I will activate a TB and then let it free in the next few weeks through this site. I think one we picked up in China and planted in Clare has been through here by the log book - have fun all

It was all nice and quiet here today as I logged my find and left Dorsetgals Japanese Cat and a Garmin iQue 3600. I took the Richmond Tigers TB and the Meet and Greet geocoin.

Calumphing-four showed us this cache as a mechanism for handig over the mustang TB. As I do a bit of interstating, I will try to visit regularly.

Passing, so visited with Mustard Keen As.
Used cache as point to pass on Mustang TB, after taking visiting large size Mustang on South Rd.
Cheers

Gathering some trackables to go a little north with us next week .
Took Difficulty*2 Geocoin, Dubi Dam Dam TB & Royal Chester TB.
Looks like the bugs & coins are mixed in the containers [B)], so it may pay to check them out before coming to exchange.
SL.
Thanks Rowenjosh for the hotel [^].

Needed to visit this place badly, had a haul of coins and bugs that needed some direction. TFTC

Left Royal Chester - hope he will travel further now it is the holidays! Goodbye Chester

Took Tiny Teddy TB

An easy find as it was in the hands of gr8cherokee as I pulled up! Enjoyed a good chat as we exchanged a couple of bugs and I signed the log. I commented that the hide was not the securest I have ever seen - perhaps a bit of camo might be in order? - its a shame when Travel Lounges go missing! Left Heading for the West Coast geocoin as at least Adelaide was rather closer than where I got it from. Thanks for the cache.

Dropping the Batkey off sorry for the delay..We ran into Alansee from Victoria and had a bit of a chat before we left to do some chrissy shopping BahHumbug

Good to have a find after a DNF. Took a bit to get on the right road, but a quick hunt and find in the dark. Cheers Gav [1399]

Finally getting around to logging the record breaker Thanks!

12:12 a.m. This cache was found on our record-breaking attempt to find the most caches in a 24 hours period; we ended up finding 195 all up.

Thanks to all the cachers who placed these interesting caches in Adelaide.

I only wish we could have spent more time appreciating the locations that we visited on our whistle stop tour.

TNLN, Thanks for the cache.

Kiwi Cache Raid: #2 @ 00:12. Not a good start to the night as we got a bit lost trying to get here. Easy find once at GZ. Many thanks Rowenjosh.,,,,,,,,,

Kiwi Cache Raid: #2 @ 00:12

Quick find once we were on the right road.

Dropped in to deposit Sad Ness TB, as I may not be near any caches for the next 4 weeks - true sad ness

Traveller status report... The only travellers in the Connector at about 7PM were:
- Sad Ness TB
- Bug Bear TB
- Richmond Tigers TB
- The Hong Kong Taxi TB

The other two listed as being present weren't there:
- Long Diagonal TB
- Karamay Unite for Diabetes TB

An easy find after dropping off the Polo for servicing nearby. Luckily Liz & Bruce were with us 'cos we grabbed the Bug Bear TB to drop off here.

Quick find on one of our outings with GEOTRECAZ. Thanks Rowenjosh. Left travel bug.

Dropping of Richmond Tigers TB looking for a lift to Perth, Sydney, Brisbane or Hobart.

Picked up Tazz TB to take to Melbourne on Wednesday.

A quick find but did not have any TBs to drop off, nor were there any to move on.
Thanks Rowenjosh

Reading the logs I am wondering if TBs are being Muggled. There seems as though there should be some there, but today's log said there were none.

Has anyone lost a TB recently, missing in action, from this cache? If so, please leave a message. We may need to relocate.

I love the concept of separate containers for international, interstate, and SA travellers! Quick find on the way to the beach on a sunny Sunday morning. I can get Border's coin 2/3 of the way back to Germany, so took that one. Left my coins in the hotel, so dropped a US $1 coin instead. Also left a soccer ball key ring. Now that I know where this one is, I can use it to drop and pick up international trippers on my three trips to SA next year.

No need to bother the GPS on this one. A quick find.

Dropped off TB Tazz to continue his journey. I think he had enough wine in the hills.

Dropping in Border's I Wanna Go Home TB to catch an international flight, and took Fuwa-Jingjing TB (which was the only TB in there at 7PM).

A very easy find, due to the covering over the cache.
No TBs in cache (all three missing in action??)
Left TB Fuwa-Jingjing who flew in from New Zealand with us.
Lovely to find a full size cache.

Empty. No travel bugs that want to go travelling - Ah well... We found it and logged it anyways. TNLN. Cheers.

Travelling interstate soon but alas no bugs here to travel.
SL.

Heading to the Pub Lunch on Tuesday so decided to visit and grab a bug or two, knowing at least one cacher was heading interstate, and knockoff a close to home cache.
Upon arrival found a very exposed cache. Grabbed the last TB which is heading West, so hopefully might be able to help it on its way on Tuesday.
Took some time and rehid cache so it was lower down and fully covered.
Remember this area well when it used to be the Hilton Bridges and all part of the railways.
Cal enjoyed watching the Ghan being shunted in the distance.
Visited Mustang TB (had a Duel with a truck )

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. Thanks for the cache.

#38 of 52 finds on my second day in Adelaide, in company with acts2youthgroup. We found this one at 1910. We had tried to log this one yesterday, but there were a couple of gardeners nearby, and they seemed interested in what we were doing. We actually laid eyes on the cache, but couldn't retrieve it without being seen, so we pretended interest in the railway yards, and departed the scene. Today we had the area to ourselves, and we had an easy find. I liked the way things were organised in this cache; so much better than a higgledy-piggledy of TBs and coins. [^] Other than trackables I made no exchange. Thanks to Rowenjosh for the cache. Cheers, dak.

IN: Nothing
OUT: Jolyan 2 TB, JF's 2006 CITO Geocoin, Bumble Bee TB

#45 of 62 cache finds for day two in Adelaide in the company of dak’s Emu Mob. We had tried this one the day before but were foiled by the gardeners, today was a different story and we soon had the cache in hand. Thanks Rowenjosh for the cache.

Found with Datto. Nice and easy find. TNLN. Thanks!

One of two caches done in a sprint, fresh off the Overland en-route on foot to the airport and straight back to Melbourne again. Be advised, the cache is well defended by an ant swarm. A nice easy find - T4TC

Found by Mary & David at 1315. A strange place - the sounds of whistles, cheering and PA announcements, but not a single soul to be seen. TNLN, but dropped off Bumble Bee TB. Our thanks to Rowenjosh.

A qucik fly through to drop Henry TB off. Henry is looking for a lift to the west, Perth would be great.

Found 13:50. On the way to the airport for a long deserved holiday to the land of the Queen's. No TB's present on our arrival so just flew on through to the airport .
