An easy find on a sunny Thursday afternoon! TFTC

After leaving Point Turton this morning, StreetWalkerNZ and I arrived at the first of the Anna Tommy series after midday. We knew rain was predicted, so were keen to find as many as possible beforehand. After bailing out of the geoart because of the rain and busy road, we drove past this one en route to Gawler. Couldn't pass it by, so on with the raincoats and after searching quite a few possible hiding places, SW came up with the right one. Thanks for the puzzle and TFTC.

#24704. We were keen to get to Gawler for a coffee, but the lure of a solved puzzle was irresistible (even with a bit of rain falling) so we pulled over, and after a bit of searching located the cache. TFTC.

Nice puzzle and hide!TFTC

After a nearby event, doineedthis and I headed into the wilds of the Gawler Belt where we had solved a mystery or 40 and just had to find them Another mystery that I had solved some time ago, and today we got to make a find before heading back to the sea.TFTC BurtonsKeep smiling

After completing Anna Tommy, myself and Jolly0 had both solved this one so came for the quick find on the way back to the car

In the area mainly to complete the Anna Tommy series. But Im happy to find any cache along the way. Rented a bike at the Gawler Visitor Info Centre. Did 36 km total. And always into the wind. No problems here. Solved the puzzle a while ago. This was my first time caching in the area. TFTC!

Plans were made to attend the SA mega although our plans changed as both of our team couldn't go due to other commitments. So with that being sorted we booked everything and only made it a short visit to SA this time.Flew into SA this morning with Rapidlywild and being neither one of us is a fan of city caching we headed out to do this Anna Tommy series that we have had solved for quiet awhile now.After doing the Anna Tommy series we decided to pick up others along our journey. This was one of them that was also solved prior to leaving Canberra.Thanks for the hide Burton's and thanks for a fun short stint away caching Rapidlywild.

Plans were in place with FurfacesLL #1 to attend the SA single day mega. So bookings for flights, accommodation and car hire were made and off we went. Flew in this morning and our first target for today was the Anna Tommy series. Have had this series solved for quite a while now, however we never seem to be in this area to do them. We made sure that changed today.We made our way around the dirt roads, getting our hire car very dirty, but hey, its SA, plenty of dirt roads. We collected other caches around as we made our way through the Anna Tommy series. Have had this one on the solved pile or a bit, so time to get our names into the log, no issues there today.Thanks for the cache placement Burton's and thanks to FFLL for another awesome couple days of caching away from home. Looking forward to the next trip.

TFTC Burton's your cache Pete's Mate 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.As this was close to an Adelaide AL stage we did the solve last night. Collected this and the AL stage before returning to town and then back to camp.Find Count: 18434

There's an 'obvious tree', then there's the cache tree! Thanks

With some free time before the busy festive period, combined with todays good weather, I decided to head out for a day of caching. The plan was to head out to Two Wells, to target a couple of specific caches, before making my way towards Gawler to attempt some of the Anna Tommy series and a few other surrounding caches. I had been sitting on a solution for this puzzle for some time; however, it was a puzzle that was far enough from home that finding it would have to wait for a day I was in the area. Once at ground zero it did not take me long before I had my hands on the cache. The log was signed, the cache replaced, and I was on my way. Find #8210, at 04:02 pmTFTC

Thanks Burtons for a neat little puzzle. I looked at this, the last of two in this area, and solved pretty quickly. Driving past I had to stop. You knew it I went to the wrong tree. Finally found when looking in the right place.

Find #8730 at 4.08pm. Thanks for the cache. Book full, found some space on the back of one of the pages, still room for more.

Great to get this one sorted. Easy find in a dead quiet location

Welcome 2023…….thought I’d head up from Adelaide to the Gawler area this morning to target a few caches on my map
A quick find, sign and return here
TFTC

It’s a cold wintery day, the cache reflects this, slightly damp. Thank for the puzzle.

Out on a misty and chilly day with iluvtrekking exploring the Gawler surrounds. Thanks for the hide Burtons

No internet until now to be able to log this. Thank you for the cache - cache was found in good order

I recently completed one cache find in each 360 degrees from home location challenge. I have now decided to continue and aim for five finds in each of the 360 degrees. Today I was targeting specific caches in missing cells for this challenge and a few solved mysteries along the way.

A great day of sunshine and a bunch of high quality caches made for a very enjoyable day.

Thanks for the cache Burton's.

Lovely caching day around Gawler include here.
Thanks for place the cache here.

Caching down this way picking up a few in the Salisbury and surrounding areas this afternoon. This cache is one that was found today.
This one has been sitting in my solved pile for some time now and decided to make the find while going through here. A nice simple puzzle and hide. All in good condition here!

TFTC Burton's!

A week ago when we arrived in Tanunda the sun was out and we looked at the pool at the hotel and thought we had all week to swim. Then we had 5 days where it was overcast and slightly raining at times. We went walking each day and it was rather pleasant.

So of course on our last full day the sun was out and we were driving around picking up select caches. At least we made it back in time for a swim and a beer (and wine and cocktails). tftc

We've made a nice early start to our geocaching day given how hot it's going to be today. This was one we targeted and found. Thanks

Found while caching with Wollaston.

Thanks to the many hands and minds taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your special part of the world

Find #5945 at 13:15.

Lots of hideyholes. Found after a few minutes

Clearly a case of cache blindness on my last attempt on this in mid 2018. Not being a SA resident, it took a while to get back in the area, but after a pleasant few hours in the Barossa, I took a detour on the Southbound run to pick this up. [^]

On arrival, there were a few options that presented themselves and I ticked each of them off one by one. Naturally, I started in the wrong spot and ended up finding the cache in the last remaining hidey hole. Hmm...

Container in hand though, I extracted the log and added my name. All done, I replaced, added some camo and moved on.

Cheers Burton's.

Found at 13:56 on a perfect cycling day with Shonkylogic.

Thanks for the hide

Out for a long bike ride with Uni and Medusa along the Northen Expressway and beyond. We parked a vehicle at each end and took the mountain bikes along the trails - 48.9kms and 115 caches in around 5 hours.
The bike trail allows one to see a lot more at 20kmh than whizzing past in a car at 110kmh. There is interesting WWII history in amongst the market gardens and salt flats. I really enjoyed the massive redgums and lushness around the Gawler River. On a hot day one would want to take plenty of water, there isn't a lot of shade or facilities along some of the stretches.

Solved this one years ago, finally passing GZ.

This cache was found at 1:57:00 PM and was 116 of 116 finds today.
Thanks Burton's

All caches signed as Mystery Randoms

Awesome day out riding bikes with allister w, sir_spectre, tallbikestan, JJ52 and mogni!

Found while doing the new PATOG series. A group of us did the whole lot plus a few extras along the way in approximately 5 hours. TFTC

A big day out with sir_spectre, Allister W, JJ52, tallbikestan and azzo (and his Dad). Today we tackled the PATOG series and all caches were found, only a couple took more than a few seconds. This one was picked up while passing.
Thanks to Burton's from mogni

Found by Jack

A puzzle that I hadn’t seen before but with a bit of googling the puzzle was solved without issue, today o arrived at Gz to find the cache nicely hidden. Cache and contents are all good

Today I headed north to Angle Vale/Gawler area to clean up the remaining caches I had left to find in the area, despite the car saying it was 43 degrees majority of the day the car was nice and cool. Total of 23 finds.

Thanks for the cache

Had solved this some time ago, but hadn't been in the area since then. Today I was driving past so pulled over, called in and made the find. TFTC

Bit of a creepy night find for my 1700th find! TFTC

Went to find this at night not realising where it was a memorable one for Erin’s 1700th find!

Found with Erine14 on a geocaching day in the Gawler-Kapunda area TFTC

Found while nearby doing a section of the Nexy trail. Had this solved for some time now so good to get this one off my list. Tftc

Today we were heading to Gawler to check out our potential new camper van. We stopped here for lunch (Rex does love a cemetery) and thought there has to be a cache here. And there was, we jetskied it, found in the first place we looked! Epic second puzzle found by chance this week.
TFTC Burton’s

This morning, Freddo, Team Waldron, thewhitedoggang, and Trail06 joined forces to complete the new Anna Tommy geoart series. The puzzle series took a while and some were pretty finnicky, but in the end, my anatomy knowledge had improved. We then detoured through a few geocaches around Gawler like the Meat Trail series, before I met with jesswrigley, and we took a drive through the wine country through Lyndoch finding a few oldie geocaches, and enjoying some wine tasting. We ended up calling through Tanunda for a bakery lunch, before closing out our day with some small walks/hiking in Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park, finding one of South Australia's oldest caches *Barossa High* as well as a few other older caches. A nice day to be out and about before we start seeing serious COVID-19 travel restrictions take effect.

A nice hidden cache at this cemetery. The geocache container and logbook were in good shape, and found within a few minutes of looking. Thanks Burton's for the geocache placement, and ongoing maintenance efforts.

TFTC&P Burton's, we made the search harder than it should have been, but all good here.

This cache was found on our Geocaching road trip from Perth to Millicent for the GeoVenture2020 Event.

We have hooked up with iluvtrekking as we cache our way to Millicent for GeoVenture 2020..... we hope. Fun day out and about.

Got it. Was a little stuck at first. Tyftc. Jones Family

Too hot and busy to spend to long here

found after the A new place to clean CITO heading north for the day. I have seen that cipher used before. A not so quick find. I though i looked there on the first pass. I guess it's time for lunch.

Stopped by and visited Pete’s Mate.

Thanks for the cache Burton's.

Pretty sure we've correctly solved the puzzle but couldn't find the cache today. Two Wells Road was unusually busy today. We'll try another day when we'll be less obvious.

Woo hoo another Tuesday Caching adventure with the Puzzled Puzzlers. Today crew was me, Mrs. S.A. Sewer rats and Blackadders. Once again we headed north in search of some letter boxes, some solved puzzles, some Gone Fishn' and to rectify a couple of previous DNF's. And for once we didn't add any to the DNF list.

So a week ago I couldn't find this but then saw that Greg was able to find it two days later. Bugger. [:(!] So I redid the puzzle. Same result. It must be there. So first stop today and I was back again. This time I tried searching sideways rather that downwards and found it in the clever hide. Very glad to get this one off my list.

**Thanks Burton's for this cache. **

A straightforward solve and find. Thanks Burton’s for the puzzle and the cache.

Heading off for yet another Puzzled Puzzlers Tuesday Caching Day. Today's crew was just me and Mrs. SA Sewer Rats. [8)] Everyone else was too busy or wasn't interested in today's targets. Do the Mailbox series near Port Wakefield, grab a few nearby, a few unloved caches and revisit some recent DNF's. [:o)] Off course there were a few laughs, some great caches but unfortunately three more DNF's added to the list. Surprisingly no blood, falls or ripped clothing!
Damn..off to a bad start. This was the first DNF as we traveled northwards. Checked the obvious spots without success and then resorted to help from my caching buddy today who was a previous finder. [8)] Despite the narrow search area it was nowhere to be seen. Checked logs and saw it hadn't been see for over a year so I dug out 6 inches of debris just in case.
Still nada. Owner may have to check this one!

**Thanks Burton's for the search anyway. **

Sadly, no joy for me on this one. I scratched around all the obvious places, but no container found.

Nice to bring ur own pencil

Need to bring ur own pen

Found with LaLa TFTC

found it our 21st of the day with troyyugal

Found before work after a bit of digging. An interesting place with many stories I'm sure. Thanks

A nice quiet location

Headed out today to do the final Mission GC Challange. After finding the required cache type, we moved on to do a few others. Meggs had solved this one ages ago and as we were passing, we stopped to make an easy find. What a quaint little cemetery, sadly there was no trace of the church building though.. TFTC

We wanted to find a cache today for another souvenir. Puzzle caches are definitely not our forte but we were delighted to see this one which we were able to solve

We love visiting historical places such as this....so many long forgotten stories must be hidden here.

Many thanks for the hide Burton's and for showing us this place[^][^][^]

We are currently returning from the JLWE and have needed to stop to get a few repairs organised and found ourselves looking for a free camping spot and have found a lovely one here in Mallala. We highly recommend it, are we allowed to do this, we guess so as it is not a business.

Due to the fact that I can read the audio of this at 10 words a minute reading it did not cause us any problems. Oh, for the old days when I used to use this quite frequently. The cache is in good condition.

Owl collected Mrs SA Sewer Rats for an afternoon of fun and caching. Two caches were on the essential list for Mrs Rat and Owl collected the unfound caches in between. This was on the way, so was a quick first cache. Owl likes puzzles like this - quick and doable!

Trying to get my head some of these puzzles does my head in but i really enjoyed myself with this one. TFTC

Was in the neighbourhood, thought I'd find your cache.
Thanks for putting it there Burton's

Today was a special day, with the aim to get JJ52's 3000th find. We set off early in the morning with a bit of a plan and hoped to get as many of Gawler's caches as we could. At the end of the day I had 32 finds and 2 DNF's, experienced my 4th visit to Gawler Fort Knox and found an old (original) MIA cache that had long ago been replaced!

Solved this in the week leading up to today, & we made a quickish find in about the 5th place we checked.

TFT puzzle and cache Burton's

Ismartis and I headed to Gawler today, somewhere I had not done any caching and I was on my way to number 3000 so it was a good opportunity to see some different country and earmark a special cache for my milestone. We set off with a rough plan of the caches we would try and find and ended up having a really good day with 34 finds and 2 DNF's for me. [^]

Solved this one before we left home so it was a case of driving up to GZ jumping a fence and finding a cache.

Thanks for the cache Burton's.

Worked out and found by The Boofs TFTC ☺.

Another one for the day thanks to our puzzle master mr snakepiters.too hot now for any more 36 deg.
Tftc.

Have passed by so many time finally stopped here today for a quick find. Interesting spot thanks for the cache.

A quick stop on our way to Gawler to scout out potential locations for an upcoming house move. We had only a few caches loaded up in the GPSr today, but this one was the only one we ended up stopping for. We said G'day to a guy passing by on his jinker as we returned to our car.

Thanks Burton's.

Found after our ride along the Nexy Bikeway detouring to the backstreets to find a nicely hidden cache in a cemetery. Thanks for the puzzle and cache Burton's!

Headed out to Gawler today with earthlight and snap happy to grab some of the local caches, weather was great and some of the views were spectacular, stopped here and had some lunch here as we were deciphering the ahdah didit dahdit dididah dididit dididahdahdah dididahdit didahdit dahdahdah earthlight headed out and soon had cache in hand : ) TFTC

The puzzle here is why are there two caches?? Got them both anyway!!
TFTC TNLNSL like the silverware

We were trying to do a multi by brute force and thought it might have been out this end of town (totally wrong though). At least there was a silver lining to that error though as it lead us past this puzzle Mrs TiedyeSmileys solved so we made the quick find on the way through.

TFTC

I would have missed this spot entirely if not for the cache, thanks for showing me this interesting location. The other interesting thing about this spot is that I found 2 caches here about 20 meters apart - the wrong one first which made me wonder why it was so empty when others had 'supposedly found it', but I also realized it was a nano not a preform so I was probably looking in the wrong spot.
I can't work out where this other cache has come from - doesn't seem to be listed elsewhere - but I signed it anyway!

Thanks for the hunt this evening Burton's.

This is the first mystery cache I have found by solving the puzzle. I really enjoyed the challenge of working out the puzzle. Now to solve some more mysteries.

Thanks Burton's for creating this cache.


Found 14 October 2014 4:30PM Find # 198

So I'm driving along this road on a sunny Sunday afternoon,
check the cache app, and oh - the dreaded blue question mark!!
So I look at it anyway, talk to Jackthemonkey a bit, and after
some quick googling, calculations and decoding,
together we decide to dash out to the point we think it's at!
Bingo ! Dead on target.

After a very pleasant nights stay in Gawler we were heading off to the Yorke Peninsula picking up caches along the way.
Who would have thought that something we learnt in boy scouts would come in handy so many years later.
The best part was that we hardly had to use google so perhaps there's hope for the old brains yet. Today was the first day that we have had to get to gz and we quite enjoyed this area as well, none of the residents took any notice of us either.
Thanks Burton's for the puzzle and the hide.

Nice hide, even the horse came over for a pat

Found this one after doing a few nexis

Time to get another cache for the 31 days of August, thank goodness that there is only two more days to go. I have no idea how people cache for a year or even years in a row.

I love these simple Mystery caches where you actually have some idea on how to solve them.

Thank you Burton's for the cache.

Day 29 of 31 days of caching.

Thanks again Burton's, you have made august an easier month for us noobs.

Thanks again

A nice find as part of the geocaching meets scouts competition. Had a cute ten pin set in the container. TFTC
