Found with Minnes, TFTC!

Logged with the hylian on the way to do the 50 TFTC

Found it No. 5432 ... good clue ... TNLN ... TFTC team tarcowie

Thought we might get muggled off, but the walker soon moved on. Quick find and sign. Trees are still full of corellas, but we still found a quiet spot to have our lunch. Nice park.

Thanks for the cache,
team tarcowie

Found by Mary & David at 1030. You could hold a great Event here. Trees were full of corellas. We really enjoyed Greenock and the caches here. Our thanks to team tarcowie.

found with friend

Quick and easy find. Can't say I'm a fan of Christmas in July. I reckon Christmas coming around once a year is already too fast (or maybe I'm just getting old?). Bah Humbug - lol.

Post christmas sales were on and we went to post our parcels and they were gratefully accepted so we signed for them and left the area. TFTC

A smooth find on a solo caching jaunt to the clare and the barossa TFTC

Easy find.
TFTC

this cache was put through a hole into a backyard by someone, saw it through the crack. We retrieved it, and put it back where we're sure it would've been.
TFTC!

TFTC

found it . great spot

An easy find, but maybe too easy as it is very well known to the locals (kids and galahs). TFTC

Our last find for the day. A lovely oval for footy, though I reckon it would get (or should I say stay) rather cold here in the middle of winter.
No wonder they play finals here.

A nice easy find by A whilst M turned the car around.

What a lovely park. TFTC

Nice easy find on a lovely day TFTC

We finally found the right road into the oval..and then found the cache and signed the logbook, along with what appears to be the entire under 12s cricket team....the cache was still here though. Tftc.

nice quick find. thanks for the cache

Found on a day trip to the Barossa

This was a lovely, well maintained Park. TFTC

Nice park, loved the old ticket box office. Cheers and thanks for the cache

Found with BobGsa on our what appears to have become our routine Saturday geo caching runs! Came to the Barossa to wine and dine at the barossa valley estate. TNLF

checked cache and contents, all good.

More like a Did Not Try.

Muggles having a picnic near GZ.

Found the cache and had it safely tucked away before more muggles arrived for the soccer match.
Thanks team tarcowie & trip-tze for the cache.

Found it and signed the log. Thanks team tarcowie.

The weather had turned a bit, so we hurriedly scurried around hoping to beat the next rain squall.

TFTC team tarcowie

Ahhh the nostalgia. I played a few games of cricket here for "The Schlungers" many moons ago. Mainly in the B grade, but I had a quite successful finale to my cricketing career here.
BTW My body is now punishing me for being a wicket-keeper, but that's the way life goes I suppose.

All quiet at the oval today, geo son had a play on the playground while mum and dad signed the log TFTC

Nice quick find, the last one in Greenock for the day but the start of our country adventures. TFTC TNLS

Finally success, after failing to find two caches previously, were very excited to finally find one. Coords were a little off but went back to the clue and found it easily. Joint find by oldest and youngest geokids. TSLS, SL, TFTC!

Thanks for showing this park. Found the cache easy.

Widened our search and found the cache, quiet today. Thanks team tarcowie

Geodad found this one, while kids played on the playground!! TFTC

A lovely stroll through the park today. We were a bit worried as we walked into the park and saw some mini muggles on the playground which was the direction the pointer was leading us to, but luckily we proceeded on out of view to find and sign the cache.

Left the geokids to find this one, older one found it pretty quickly. TFTC!

Nice easy find though there was lots of muggles around with a cricket match in progress and a birthday party in the clubhouse.

TFTC

Was out doing some cache maintenance on the Prime Ministers Series, but managed to get some finds in as well.

Had the oval to myself on dusk. TFTC.

19th find out of 44 on epic day out with CPWanderer and Aussie M&M. TFTC

A quick find despite a number of nearby muggles... too busy in their own world to worry about 4 lost souls wandering in circles!! TFTC

Found in the obvious spot. Lots of muggles but they didn't appear to be looking our way. A quick find. TFTC.

Lots of muggles today but found safely

Found it on our way home from Adelaide. Lots of little muffles around for footy training.

Found quickly.

Thanks team tarcowie.

Well Hidden, found with plenty of other cachers! thanks

Team Bowyer senior started to get his eye in and had this grabbed before we others got to it. Used to come to interschool sports days in recent years to this oval but never ventured to this area of the precint. Thanks. Bus load of muggles left just as we arrived. Now that was lucky.

18th cache for the day.
Very well hidden. Had to be careful because muggles were around.
TNLN. Thanks.

Thanks Snr Team Bowyer who found this while we were still getting our bearings

Another stop on the way to the '10 years and were still mad about the cache sam' event in the Riverland. [^] . Easy find once we worked out how to get into the park - ignore your TomTom. Clear skies!

Second stop on the way to the '10 years and were still mad about the cache sam' event in the riverland [^]

We've updated the coordinates after many people indicated they were about 10m out.

It's pretty obvious where it is though

I have spent many a Saturday afternoon watching my son knock up some runs on this pitch ~ Always love this little park and grandstand. Great to find another to cross off my closest to home unfound list ~ SL Merry Christmas 2010 and Thanks for the Cache [^]

on a day trip with the rhyan clan, thanks for a great day out. TFTC!!

After many 'attempts' to get near this one we were always getting foiled by too many spectators, dog walkers etc. finally nabbed it as cache no.22 for the day. good to get this off our list at last. TFTC!!

Found during our SA run, what beautiful countryside, took a little while but we got there.

Took a few minutes but once at GZ it was a quick find - Thanks team tarcowie !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found with fitzy_1965 and ACBC66 on our weekend trip to South Australia..........

GPS had us on the wrong road to start with but once that was sorted, cache was soon in hand.

Thanks for the fun.

Had to over-ride the satnav to get into this one but once I did it was an easy find, thanks.

Easy find even with GZ 10m away.
Nice oval hidden from main roads.
TFTC.

Found 13:15

My this is a busy town. A motorbike gang pulled into the pub as I came into town.
Then there was a car rally lunch event at the oval when I got there.
All very quiet at GZ and I soon had a cache in hand.
Last time I was in Greenock I kidnapped a grandma but thats another story.

We were visiting the Barossa on holidays and using our new Magellan Explorist GC we went cache hunting. The GPS had us 10 metres away from where we found the cache but this wouldn't be the first time. Our dog Billy had fun racing around the oval

Thanks heaps for a fun hunt!

E had this spotted at about 50 paces with over exuberant camouflage. Thanks heaps to whoever left the Vine Inn voucher - we WILL use this soon as it is Nanna and Pop's favourite as they do half serves. Left a Golly Wog pin. Know it isn't PC but hey, I'm sure we are above that.
SL - TFTC

Great little spot is Greenock. Easy find Thankyou

Easy find. TFTC

Found with Blossom

Like controlfreaks, we somehow ended up here unexpectedly. We missed the turnoff on the highway and the next exit brought us to Greenock. So we found this lovely spot and a lovely cache too [:]

We were rambling through the countryside and somehow ended up here - fortunately, as it was a nice quiet spot we enjoyed visiting once we found the right way in. The cache was quickly found and then the littlest freak set off for the playground.

Popped down to the Oval prior to walking a section of the Heysen Trail. A bunch of guys were digging up the cricket pitch. I hope they were ligit . Found the cache with eeeees.

L-Plate drive day.
Nice and quiet here today, apart from the muggles putting up the shed over the fence [8)].
Not many of these places left with the old style grandstands .
Took superball. Left luminous star. SL.
Thanks Team Tarcowie & Trip-Tze.

Found this cache at 4:35pm while staying in Nuriootpa for a Dodge Bros Vintage car rally. with afternoon free we decided to do some caching. Nice little town. Easy to find.
Thanks Team yarcowie& trip-tze for the hide.
The Bushies

Little Geo and I thought we’d fit in a few caches around tennis practice this afternoon. We've been meanig to tick this one off for a while. TFTC

How on earth has this survived?? Obviously nobody but cachers come anywhere near this corner. Hope it stays that way, as the cache is not hidden at all [:o]. No swaps.
