A short stop in here today the cache was easily found and is all in good order
With the whole day to kill and an early birds event in the city I decided I would head to the southern suburbs after being down the last night I wanted to clean up a few more of the caches in the area and mainly targeting the walking caches. All up 39 finds for the day.

One of quite a few found on another day down south after more trads. This time mainly around Flagstaff Hill and Happy Valley.
Thanks Lava12 for the cache

It was definitely too dark yesterday to find it but found it today, sneaky spot thanks Lava12
Couldn’t find, lots of overgrown weeds and didn’t see a half pave, but will probably go back tomorrow to check it out again
This one took a bit of time to locate [:o] My smartphone's GPS was very erratic given the tree cover [:o]
Put the GPS away and just went with gut instinct and the "Where would i hide it - ness" thinking ha ha.
It was CIH in about 2 minutes after that [^]
Loved the 'Pretty Flowers' near GZ.
SL at 10:27 on Sat. 18/4/20.
The cache and contents are good and dry.

I had mountain biked with a few friends around O'Halloran Hill, and I really wanted to grab a cache find there. However, the targeted cache required a solid descent and ride uphill, so I left it for another day. After cleaning up my bike and dropping off a friend, I had a rest and then returned down south for a geocaching session. Driving around and geocaching solo is always an unmotivating prospect, and despite my best-laid plans at geocaching the area, my momentum soon ran out, and after finding a cluster of geocaches around Happy Valley, I called it a day.
I parked in between the two caches at this reserve, and headed to this one second after *Rocky Hill*. Some really nice flowers here. I did spend a good 10 min looking around for this cache container, until I saw a sliver of it that ultimately gave it away. It turned out to not be too far away from where I was initially searching. Good concealing indeed. The geocache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Lava12 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Today we are heading to Victor Harbour to celebrate our milestone birthdays. It was supposed to be an Italian themed getaway but that got cancelled so AirbnB it is and a nice lunch in Mclaren Vale on Sunday.
First we had to drop the hound off at kennels in Clarendon. He has never been to kennels before he didn’t know what had happened when we dropped him off. Hope the poor bugger is OK, bless him.
We had just found this one when the rain came again TFTC

Found after a short search near the biggest geranium in the world. ----SL-----TNLN----TFTC
Popped out after dinner to grab as part of the hidden creatures souvenirs. Didn't get to world turtle, only Gryphon. Quick find although my phone had me a bit further away. TFTC.
Another cache today! The hiding place was obvious when we reached the right location! Thanks for the cache Lava12
It was not missing. I managed to find it. Someone has removed the half pave. Happy Hunting
On arrival something looked a little out of place and sure enough there was a cache. Also found a beautiful tree that had fallen over with lots beautiful butterflies hiding in the roots. SLTNLN TFTC
Huge lizard seems to live here. Scared the crap out of us, but all good once it ran off! He he. Tftc
Found on an afternoon walk with the geo-pup. Those flowers are still pretty after all these years! TFTC
We visited this at the perfect time of year, as the flowers were in full bloom! Stunning! A lovely burst of colour nestled in the bush. Signed log. Thanks Lava
I have replaced a new log sheet. Also took Galaxy - Splinterheads Trackable. Happy Hunting.
Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the geodog. Another nice easy find. Mozzies are everywhere!!! TFTC
Finally found a cache to drop Red Roo in. I will no longer pick up TBs because I am a bad citizen when it comes to them and I hang on to them way too long.
A beaut spring evening to be out on my bike caching. Apart from the mozzies!!!!!!! Gotta go ...

Nice find today keeping the nephew distracted. Found the other in this park and a nice rope swing. Log book needs replacing, full, but torn up and damp. Tftc
Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache container was in good condition but the logbook was a little damp (but still signable). Thanks Lava12 for the cache.
I could win an award for most caches found but not logged online. Please forgive this very generic log. If I admired your cache you'll get a favourite point from me and I'll likely come back and edit this log once I've caught up. If this generic log makes you unhappy - delete it. Life's too short to worry over it, I had fun finding your cache either way. Cheers!
I was out night caching with Moneydork, Locuscache, ridethegeowalrus and semik. We stopped to log this cache. Thanks for the hide.
Tuesday meant caching night with Moneydork, SEMIK, RideTheGeoWalrus and tonight we were accompanied by K.B. from WA
On a hot and overcast night with odd drops of precipitation from the heavens and more liquid emanating from us as we sweated our way through scrub, we had a ball caching down around Happy Valley way
I managed 12 finds and only 1 DNF which is rare for me on a Tuesday night trip as my usual total is about 4 finds and I finally got home about 1.15am [|)]
We didn't see any pretty flowers tonight, just lots of dry grass and sticks however we did find the cache and I'm sure our smiles were just as pretty as flowers

Out and about on Tuesday night with Moneydork, SEMIK, locus cache and .K.B. for an excursion into the south of Adelaide. We cached long into the night, some of us longer than others, with a return journey just after midnight.
The second cache in this park for us tonight, having walked directly from the first. Luckily none of the neighbours appeared to be active.
This was find number 6 of 13 for the night for me. TFTC Lava12!

Out with steamer531 and poppybloom53 on a hot and humid day. No flowers, no problems. TFTC
Found this but only after i slipped on my......... there was some slippery grASS around
took jacknor around for the afternoon and this was the last for the day. GPS bouncing around like crazy, found it after widening search area.
Found on a day of geocaching this one took a little searching with the cousins nearly gave up but then trusted the gps and there it was. TFTC
