Bloody GZ is behind demolition fence. Camo has been removed. Cache is gone. Blood letting location no longer does the vampire thing here anymore.
A quick trip into the city this morning, do you like blood, blood is very interesting and contains many proteins, please do not drink blood instead of the protein shake.
Cache was found all in good order

Back to the Monday routine well for this week anyway. Needed a cache for the day so took the opportunity to avenge this recent dnf. Hadn’t updated the puzzle but there was only a couple of places it could be. Enjoyed the walk to and from the train station it was fresh but at least the nights are getting lighter soon I might be able to see to hide a few Church caches.

Cache replaced a few metres east of puzzle solution, which will be adjusted in due course.
Cache and camo have gone with construction in the area. There is a nearby alternative location. Stay tuned.
Couldn’t find a cache at GZ obvious hiding spot was well and truly empty. TFTH
I had a look in that pipe, but nothing there. Spent a bit of time looking at other options but nothing leaped out at me. I'll try another donation later.
Monitoring software indicates the owner of the cache appears to have accidentally deleted a physical waypoint associated with this cache that needs to be maintained by them to make the solution viable.
Cache has been disabled to allow the listing to be returned to an operational state.

After missing out last year due to being in hospital on our trying to make a tradition of caching in the city very early on Christmas Day and then heading to our sisters for gift sharing, enjoying a meal together and general fun and games, we were not going to miss out this year. Even being in town before 7.00 am there were people out doing their running and walking so we still needed to be muggle aware. The cache is in good condition. SL TFTC
A small hint on actually what to do in order to solve this easy (now... i realize what to do lol) puzzle at an event at Vilis last night (7 Nov 18) from the friendly CO, i swung by this one on my way to the GIFF 2018 at the German Club
After WP1 i was on my way to the final.... Love it. Well themed.

Having brought a patient to Adelaide air ambulance last night we had the day off today.
Of course, I got up early despite my body telling me to catch some more sleep...
I enjoyed a great early morning walk through Adelaide and found a few caches along the way.
Solved this in the hotel. But when I arrived at the coords I had forgotten that I was just looking for a hint here and not for a cache container...
TFTC anyway says ***kinderarzt*** from Germany!

Managed to solve this puzzle quickly, and today at lunch, walked to the first waypoint. Was hunting around for a good 5-10 min before discovering the path to the next waypoint.
Given the waypoint was nearby, decided to continue my nice afternoon walk to a familiar themed location. Hunting, hunting. This hide seemed to be getting the better of me. Hint wasn’t a lot of help. Reading past logs meant it was a typical CO hide, but still no help. Then the mind starts thinking to defeat and likely muggled scenario. Felt like it was pointing to across the road, but eventually found the great hiding spot to this small waypoint series. Nice one Freddo, cheers, all in good shape still.

Out grabbing some caches whilst staying in town for a few days. Nice easy find on a public holiday so there were only a few muggles around today.

Started this one a little while ago, after an embarrassing start, got a tip from a previous finder, realised my mistake and made some obvious choices about what to do next, took off at lunch with weredunn4 to get this one, had fun with this one and made the find to add another smiley to my city map after signing the logbook.

Went for a lunchtime caching hunt with kronklee. Enjoyed running around to get this one - a good theme. Kronklee placed his hands on the final - nice work. Signed log. TFTC Fredd-O-positive.
found on route to the Lights, Action, GIFFs event. Parked about a km from the event so i could walk past and finally grab this one. No good parking near gz. Started this one last year but that was pre gsak so the information never got loaded in to my gps. Upgraded to using gsak and this was the first time i was any where near gz when i wasn't driving a truck. fav point.

A fun little cache that took us to different parts of the city, and we ended up visiting GZ twice. Not because we did not find the cache on our first try (nice hide, BTW ), but because we did not bring a writing implement and had to return today with one to add our name to the log TNLNSL TFTC
A wonderful day for a walk. Mrs. S.A. Sewer rat and I had been working on some of the latest BFE puzzles and she wanted to get out and collect one and a nearby lock cache. So I picked her up and once again we found ourselves at Cobbler's creek for a little walk about. That done we headed to town where we picked up Anymules for a quick find during his lunch break. Now it was time for The Rat and I to continue caching.. [^]
As a noob to puzzle caching many moons ago I went to the posted coordinates.
Then as my skills increased I realized I would have to start somewhere close but elsewhere. Then I ended up..well here. Several times I have driven past and just couldn't get a park within cooee and there always seemed to be cache that would be easier to get to.
So without any expectation whatsoever I cruised down the little street and there was a park right opposite GZ. And no muggles in sight. Hoot.
Into the park I went and after a very short search the cache was in hand.
Thanks Count Freddo for the Multipuzzle and cache.
Of course there was blood.. There is always blood when i go caching.
Hey. Wait a minute. Nope, no blood today! [:o)]

Fun little hunt around the city. Love the little touch at the end of the trail, very authentic! TFTC
There was blood. After shedding a couple of bloody tears yesterday I had to bring my fellow cacher H_Quinn on board with me. Two heads are better than one. TFTC
Today I had a free day so I decided to head in and around the Adelaide CBD to pick up a few solved mysteries and nearby traditionals.
My phone refused to read the QR code, so I had to rely on the backup system which is conveniently placed next to the QR code.
At the final location the back street was deserted so I had a quick find.

A couple of weeks ago we visited WP2 for the third time, and there was no way I was going to get the sticker to scan. It was only after then that I discovered that WP2 had moved about 4 years ago. Ooops.
Visited WP2.2 this morning, and finally my phone told me where the cache was. At the final location, the cache was found immediately thanks to Mrs J spotting the familiar sign of the Frog. No blood was spilled in the caching of this cache.

I worked out the Stage 2 location in advance and visited it during my 20,000 step trip about Adelaide on Anzac day. I really liked how Stage 2 was done. Stage 3 coords were dead on. A high quality cache and fun walk about as well.
I went for a lunch time stroll today, for some reason I started walking from Victoria Square and just kept going Forrest Gump style. I nearly made it to Norwood when I kind of thought that perhaps I had better get back to work - not before checking my GPS of course to see what I might be able to get on the way back. This cache which was solved a long time a go popped up, in spot that made sense once I got there. Thanks Freddo for the cache.

Loved the "artwork" on this one. A quick find after a bit of a run around the city. Found with BTR, RTGW, Munja and jambo chicken. TFTC
Found with Alex-thesquirrel, Bek-TheRaccoon, RideTheGeoWalrus and Munja. Had the location for WP2 for sometime and visited on Friday but had no luck. Came back late last night and basically walked straight up to it! A short walk and the cache was found right on midnight. No vampires were harmed in the finding of this cache, though gz may say otherwise. TFTC
I was sorting out all my caching images earlier in the year and I had no idea what cache one image belonged to. Eventually, I posted an image on the facebook group with key info hidden and asked our caching community. All signs pointed to it being this cache. So, being nearby to Wpt2, we made a detour to visit and pick up the next piece of information. This made for a quick cache with only a short walk to complete. We wanted to find this after midnight for a 31/5 find and achieved this - found it right on 12.00pm.
TFTC Freddo!

Found as early in the morning as is possible, at 12:00am, with jambochicken, Alex-thesquirrel, Bek-theraccoon and munja. Bek did the initial solving on this one, and the field work was a group effort, though I did make the effort to solve the initial stage when I got home.
Absolutely loved the 'artwork' at GZ, it really added a nice touch. TFTC Freddo!

Tftc... went into the wrong hole first but SASEWERRATS was right on it. We got almost muggled by a zombie... a very old gentleman came out of the pub and wondered over. Even walked out the fence... stared at what we were fiddling with. We waited until we saw him walk away.
Tonight a Rat, Snake and a Locus went a caching.
We had lots of laughs and in the Big Smoke.
I had the cache in hand fairly quickly.
After replacing the cache a gentleman walked over to where we had been.
He walked back and forth trying to find what we were looking at.
we watched from the car, it seemed he did not find the cache.

Got info very accidentally. Got to WP1, and am very glad that today is public holiday, and no one is around. Got numbers, and found the cache very fast. TFTC!
While working at the Clipsal 500 I noticed this one nearby. Got part way through but the next step was not achievable at the time. Managed to finish it this morning. That's two Freddo "medical" caches in a row for me (see my "Recycled" log)

Yay, the first puzzle cache solved. thanks ABLEA86 for a little clue to start the solution off. Love the hiding place. Had me stumped at first but a second visit soon had the log signed and returned safely to it place. no muggles to worry about thank goodness.
This one was full of surprises. A fun stroll around this medical district. TFTC!
There was no blood. There were no tears at the puzzle. Owl was on her knees, but felt no shame. There was a muggle smoking a cigarette. She returned with reinforcements in the shape of Aussie M&M, Locuscache and Honeysucker. There was a log. There is a favourite point.
It seems I managed to invade an afternoon out planned by Honeysucker and Aussie M and M and then so did Dr Owl
Had lots of laughs, lots of fun and it seems caching in a group gets rid of migraines, too, so it must be healthy
Dr Owl had solved this cache and so we had to stop here and have a look to see if her coords would reward us with something like a plastic bag of warm blood freshly removed from a pumping vein....and they did! There was blood!

Out with Doctor Owl, locus and our driver Honeysucker while the Doc and I had our cars serviced. We roamed the streets seeking to suck the blood of others, but instead found a cache that Doctor Owl had solved while recovering from surgery involving blood. This was a cool cache and loved the neat little hide. Another puzzle find where the M & M's will be doing things in reverse, this will go on our list to be solved after finding...sorry about that Freddo. However, I will have to give it a favourite based on the hide placement and Doctor Owls opinion. Plus, I just like your caches....
Looked at this one on the weekend and decided to visit the next waypoint on my way home from work. Found that one then headed off to the final in a very appropriate place.
No-one around at GZ, had no trouble parking the car and headed off to find the cache. [^] [^]
No blood was spilled in the retrieving or replacing of the cache. Signed the log in my customary blood coloured ink.

" it is a monstrous thing, to slay a unicorn. Only one who has nothing to lose, and everything to gain, would commit such a crime. The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and defenceless to save yourself, and you will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips."

Found the first WP1 while in Darwin.

And found the cache this morning, after first grabbing the 'wrong one'.

There was no blood, just a little angst. I spent some time at WP1 a while ago, trying to inconspicuously look for a cache. I looked, a probed, I prodded, I reached - nothing. Eventually I found what I needed right before my very eyes. Dammit! Back for the cache today. Had a 50/50 chance - I lost! No blood was lost during the retrieval. TFTC Freddo.

Thanks for the cache Freddo! Took a friend Shakyamuni out for his first cache for this one. Cool theme and nice cache. Had fun, got some walking done and saw parts of the area never seen before
There almost was blood too! At the first waypoint, two women were gas-bagging by their car which was parked where I don't think it was supposed to be. I walked on a bit and waited but on return they were still there nattering away. Luckily I had been walking all over the city so I opened my packet of citrus balls that I had bought from Haigh's and sat nearby. It must have been about 45 minutes before I gave up and on walking by on my way off they decided to leave. Didn't they know I had important business here? Found what I needed and had that worked out while heading in the right direction. At GZ I wasn't quite sure what to look for but something eventually got my attention. TFTC!
We had come into the city for a spot of nigt faching. After a successful catch we looked for a couple of puzzles. Accurate coordinates enabled us to quickly find the required object at the first watpoint. Andy (our faithful Android) then deciphered the code and we were on our way to GZ. After a short walk the cache was located quite quickly. The cache and its contents were in good condition. Thanks for another interesting puzzle Freddo and thanks fo the cache.
Worked out the first hop and at the second I was glad for the extra info as my smartphone was playing up. Wandered off to find some cache in the other direction before hitting up the rest of this one of the way back to the hotel. At GZ I checked out a few places before returning to the first spot I suspected.
Thanks Freddo.
Thanks Freddo.
Gotcha!
After looking at this puzzle/multi a number of times previously, I had a flash of inspiration last night! The coords for WP2 were soon found.
Today, I had the opportunity to visit WP2. Happy to report that the sticker is still in good shape and easily readable.
GZ was very appropriate and the non-nano cache was soon found and signed.
Thanks!

A cache find in two parts
Yesterday I rode past WP1 and used my 'smart' phone to take a piccy !!
My 'smart' phone is a few diodes short of a circuit board though and I had to use my home computer to decipher the information
I forgot to put the information into me GPS and this morning blindly followed the arrow back to WP1
Bugger !! Now what ?
I found another way to retrieve the coords....
So far no blood spilt
Off we go to GZ.
A quick read of the sign and I knew I was in the right place.
Not a place to hang around too long or you might get stuck and feel a little drained [:o]
I found the cache in 30 seconds flat and rode off as fast as I could.
No free beer for If [:o]

Solved the puzzle and found the tag but couldn't decode it thanks to not being able to get the phone in (why are these things suddenly getting bigger anyway?). Took a photo and will try to clean it up and decode at some point. Sort of a DNF but not really .
Led to this one by the vampire frogs, funny but the blue plaque on a nearby building was of more interest, but Gayle was reigned in to add the Flipper monica to the log, and no blood was spilled either.

Worked out the first bit of this ages ago. Then some weeks ago Mrs S had to visit mother in intensive care in the nearby hospital and we needed a find for the day. So made her way to WP1 but the phone wouldn't read the sticker. Sent a photo home for Mr S to decode and then drove to gz. There were so many people around, and on a Sunday!
Was determined to get back here today and make a find. Mr S found it quickly and there was no one around today to interfere. That is our puzzle for the 10/10 today but we did find another puzzle cache a bit later.
Thanks Freddo. This one introduced us to QR codes and readers. Very handy.

I think the waypoint in the field may be suffering a bit, as we couldn't get it to work. It does have some signs of wear due to weather.
Bombed out here earlier but had my blood pumping tonight! I LOLd at the blood stain too.
I started donating blood after the Bali Bombings and have been happily doing it ever since. Curiously enough, I just got a call from the Red Cross reminding me about my next donation!
Well done Freddo, an excellently crafted cache.

Ah, so it might not have been the blood that I saw on the WP in the field that caused my barcode reader to fail, but I managed to get the coords by another means.

I have replaced the waypoint in the field and moved it slightly. You will need to review the start of the cache.
Like others I could not get the QR code at WP1 to scan so I sat down with a photo of the QR code and a spread sheet program and regenerated it. It worked a treat, scanned straight away and the location made sense. A quick find at GZ. TFTC.
Had no luck in reading the code in the field, but I took a photo. Back home I looked up a few readers, but nothing I tried worked until I had a brainwave,and re-wrote it by hand onto a spreadsheet. Took a while to transcribe but it worked a treat! Read it straight off the screen. The redundancy in these is pretty solid, as I tried a few different combination for the iffy squares, but kept getting the same coords.
At GZ, I quickly spotted a potential hinding place, and was rewarded with a neatly crafted cammoed cache.
Thanks for the blood curdling cache, Count Freddo

Tried two different apps, but neither would read the code, so we shall have to return another day!
Our smart phone wasn't so smart after-all... found the QR codes easy enough, but try as we might... our shiny new tool wouldn't or couldn't decipher the puzzles DNA.
The QR code does not like the weather. It would not scan. I tried the photo trick but I got to much curvature in the shot to allow it to work. It needs replacing. Good idea though.
I had trouble scanning the code in field, so i had to take photos and then slowly draw out the code on the computer. Surprisingly it all worked when i was done and i was able to read the coordinates off. At gz, found in the first place i looked! TFTC

Painstaking digital reconstruction from a photo yielded success - but it's unlikely I'll get back into town before my plane out. Thanks for the fun anyway, Count Freddo - I may see if I can adapt this idea for a Tassie cache.
Unfortunately, the info at WP1 was weathered enough that I couldn't process it with the tool that I have, despite 5 minutes of trying various things (and I have previously tested reasonably extensively).
Passed what I thought was GZ on the way, so I probably should have searched anyway - oh well!

Felt a bit like BFE doing a multi. Without the required in-field technology, it was back to office to plot the next step. Found the cache during a quick dash back out after work. Thanks for a great cache Freddo!
I got a tip off for this one and went for the find next time I was in town! I choose a busy time, which means I had to do a bit of pretending, I waited a while to get picked up before making the find and getting out of there! TFTC
Found on a lunchtime adventure with Trail06.
We almost reverse engineered this one. Because I was stuck on step one, I got some advice and proceeded to GZ. I didn't find what I was looking for there, so I rang Freddo and he put me straight. We signed the log.
We then wanted to do the previous step so another call to Freddo and we then found that step. Trail06 hadn't seen that use of that type of thing before so he was impressed.
Now to the first step.
