Nice quick find by our geokid who is more nimble to be looking in these locations haha.TFTC
 
17-Nov-24
Was on our way back to our daughters after a couple of hours of caching, and remembered that this sad face was still haunting me from quite awhile ago. I approached the area with determination to find it this time and Whoo hoo, at last sad face turned the right way up after a very quick search. TFTC and the long awaited smiley.

Was a fairly quick find on a slightly cooler day
 
24-Oct-24
Visiting the Adelaide region for a week from Port Macquarie. Today we headed out to the Barossa, with the main points of interest being a winery (of course), the chocolate factory, and of course the famous Geostuff. Caching wise we mostly targeted ones we had pre-planned on a list but ended up with some extras we happened to be passing as well. We ended the day with a handful back in Adelaide, and an evening walk to grab a few close to our accommodation. Overall, it was yet another very enjoyable and productive day.A nice and peaceful little park. Often have trouble with cannon caches but this did not follow that hint with a quick find after peeking around.Thanks for the cache

Plans have been in place for a little while now about a convoy from the Canberra Mega to head over to SA and finish off what currently stands of the On Your Bike series. Today being day 4 of the trip away, todays convoy consisted of GoodLook, TheDame, feathertop, The Drovers, FurfacesLL and myself.Today's primary target was the Barossa Grapes series of caches. Having "The Mob" finish the Barossa Grapes off, we went our own ways for the rest of the day. Some went off to do another series nearby that FFLL and I had already done, so we followed the GPS for a while and collected other caches nearby. We then went into Gawler for a specific cache and did a few more there too.Found this one alot quicker that expected. When you arrive at a GZ and see one of these, you prepare yourself for a long search haha. Nice to get the stamp in the log and replaced as found.Thanks for the cache placement and maintenance DISK ?? and thanks FurfacesLL for another fun trip away ??

Now that the bike series was completed we continued onto the Barossa series. LB bid us a fond farewell at Swan Reach so now the convoy consisted of feathertop, GoodLook,Rapidlywild, TheDame and The Drovers.After completing the Barossa Grape series we parted ways with the rest of the group as they ventured to another series that we had already completed.So it was just back to signing the log as Rapidlywild and FurfacesLL and we just let the GPS lead the way from cache to cache. Lovely little park log is full but got our stamp on it Thanks for the hide DISK and thanks for a fun adventure Rapidlywild

I've been feeling like caching for the entire Easter weekend, but the weather has been pretty average. So Emu and Baloo took advantage of the cooler evening and went on a mini caching spree. I always thought that this needed a cache, and this one was perfect for it. Quick find and sign, and we were back on our way.

Our great adventure begins - we're spending 4 weeks in Australia. We flew in on the red-eye from Singapore and landed at 8h40 in ADL - and 30mins later we're already outside. We'll get the rental and then it's off to Barossa Valley, where we will spend the first day. We approached this one with reapect amd a mirror. We rather do not waant to put our hands where we haven't had a look before. Spotted it and retrieved it. Logbook is quite full after the recent mega event. Thanks and kind regards from Switzerland, Hinni&Simo

Heading back from the nearby Wherigo and this was in scope. There was a muggle sat on the nearest bench, but waited him out and was able to get down, and not too dirty, to make the find here. Nice statue nearby, handy.Have a longish day today with some driving required later on and an early start tomorrow with an airport run. A quick cache and grab on the way into work, then a drive out to Gawler after lunch but was too hot to really get into it so only a few finds there. Cheers to the COs.

TFTC DISK your cache Pioneer Park that we found today. Day 5 in Mallala as we wait for the Leap Day Mega. The day started with a Meet and Greet event in Gawler. After the event we continued where we left off in town chasing the rest of the multi caches in town as well as an AL, whereigo and a couple of puzzle caches. We also found a few traditionals. We could have kept going but we had had enough of travelling on dusty roads over the past couple of weeks. Back to camp to prepare for our move too Adelaide on Sunday.Found this a lot quicker than we expected.Find Count: 18431

After a morning breakfast event in Gawler then a drive to Warren Reservoir and a few caches in Williamstown and Lyndoch I was back in Gawler to find a few more before heading home. I might as well make the drive here worth it. [^]

This one was a DNF back in Feb 2020 when the cache had gone missing from its previous location. Today I stopped here to turn this into a smiley. Spent a little bit of time looking before getting down on hands and knees and soon after the cache was in hand. Glad to now have the blue frown off my map. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache DISK. Smile

Found with Coybear2000. We'd been here 7 years ago, and had been looking in a totally different spot. I now see that the cache has been moved twice since our previous attempt. We arrived at GZ and C had the correct tool, spotted and retrieved the hide. Log signed and all replaced and we headed off on our walk. It was good to turn the blue frown to the yellow smile. TFTC.
