24-Feb-13
Was in the CBD doing some caches early this morning.
I seemed to have missed the mark with this one, both attempts had me in two different places.
After being assaulted by an acacia paradoxa which left prickles in uncomfortable places I decided to give it way for another day.
Thanks for an interesting hunt, will be back for this one , cheers setsujoku.

Had to drive in and park closeby, it seemed the logical choice. Found easily, thanks! Smile
 
05-Jan-13
Someone at the Farewell tea for mogni brought up about doing the TDF series and tentative plans were made to do it today..... however due to the high temperatures (44degrees yesterday) earthlight suggested going down south and so here we ended up.

Although we didn't get very far south LOL as we only made it to Macclesfield for lunch at 2pm (and the edge of Strathalbyn about 8pm and definitely not Victor Harbor) but by the end of the day, we had managed to successfully locus cache on 39 caches and I also placed a new one

We even managed to get a 4star terrain cache which surprised us but luckily it didn't beat us as we had the magic geotool Smile

I love (almost) drive by caches in country cemeteries where the gates are left open because no one would dare to disrespect those who reside in the Dead Centre of Nowhere [^]

SL. TFTC setsujoku Smile
 
05-Jan-13
Another one found whilst out with locus and Earthlight!

Usual Friday night caching escapades with Mogni and Mrs. M from Aussie M&M. A quick stop on the way a puzzle. For not many large towns around here there are a lot of large cemetries. [?] Thanks setsujoku. Big Grin No Geocoin located so TBs only visited.

Apologies for the late log - passed this way last week on our way to Victor Harbour for a day out, and some caching on Granite Island Smile Myself and the kids waited until a car had left the cemetary and then had to be quick as the dogs at the nearby house were going bananas and we were attracting far too much attention. A quick find, eldest cacher has got the knack of finding a stick now we are in Oz (not Scotland) for retrieving caches. Swapped in some Scottish swag. TFTC.

Cache has been replaced with a more water proof, and much newer container. This one shouldn't get water in it, and will last quite a while.

Thanks to those who have found this cache so far, and hopefully there will be many more finders to come!
 
13-Aug-11
We're planning on doing maintenance next Sunday, as A has this thing for antiques and old furniture, so how pleased she was when she discovered a whole weekend of such things at Strathalbyn!

I'm sure by the time that we get here there will be many things purchased that will be as old as some of the residents of this place.
 
13-Aug-11
We were on a bit of a mission today, so we were only stopping at certain caches off of a list we'd made up. As this one came onto the laptop screen, I noted the cache owner, and decided to bend the rules a little and stop for an extra find.

A great little spot we've probably driven past many times back in 2005/2006, but we just can't seem to remember ever seeing it. I could imagine this exposed area might get a little windswept, but the weather was perfect today, so we did have a bit of a look at who was resting here.

I was going to post a needs maintenance log, but it seems you're already onto it. Wink

Thanks setsujoku.
 
05-Aug-11
Planning on heading here in a couple of weeks time to replace the cache and freshen things up a bit.

Mrs TiedyeSmileys was caught red handed logging this cache. Really, her hands ended up red. There was something in there that was red and after she emptied the water out of the cache and got the log book out and signed it, her hands were much pinker than before she had started Smile.

This is the first cache that I was "re-visiting" today. When still a muggle I went on an introductory cache day, about 18 months ago, with Turnarounds, Mac & Missus and Lost in space (now How Do They Know). Easy find therefore. Tnlnsl. Tftc.
