Sorry, I can’t repair or replace it because I have moved. It is time to go. Thanks for finding my cache in the past. Lava
Another day out with Dr Owl, this time prowling around the hills and ending up in the Port to meet a couple of sandgropers.
The gps was jumping around here and it took a while to get to the right spot and the right angle to spot the cache.
Some CO love is required here - the cache lid has gone missing. The cache was replaced upside down, hopefully it won't fall out.
Thanks for the cache Lava12.

Found with gridge98 whilst in the area doing some caching apologies for the late log. Thanks for the cache
A short stop by this one today, no one around made for a nice and easy find
Today after getting an FTF in the morning and an event in north adelaide we headed to the hills to do a few short walks and find a few caches before lunch time.
Total of 13 for the morning.

A nice early Spring day grabbing a few caches around Heathfield, Longwood, Ironbank and Scott Creek. Spent some time in the beautiful Mark Oliphant Conservation Park too
The log was soaked and completely unreadable. We replaced it with a new bagged log book.
Many thanks for the hide Lava12

TFTC! May have accidentally crossed the creek where we didn’t need to but fun cache!
Quick find with Erine14 once we were on the right side of the creek! Thanks for another one Lava12!
Today with looming COVID-19 lockdown impacts growing closer every day, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I were still determined to head out for some hiking and fitness whilst we still had the freedoms. Hence, I suggested we head down to Scott Creek Conservation Park to complete the infamous *Scott Creek Multiple" multi-cache that was the oldest multi-cache in South Australia. I had thought about doing this one for some time, so it was good to have had the weather on the right side, and only a 30 min drive from home. I never realised the history of this area, and enjoyed seeing the old buildings and shafts of the copper and silver mining that had once taken place here.
This was our first geocache of the day as we were going past Scott Creek Oval. A quick find, with the usual CO cache construction. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Lava12 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

It was a lovely day to visit Scott Creek. We had visited the Scott Creek mine site earlier this year but had not ventured any further into the area. We loved the views we enjoyed as we drove along. Mrs y'stassie got a little bit of a shock as she went towards this cache as two ducks took fright and made a real din as they went through the water in a culvert. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Lava12 for the cache.
A popular little park with the locals. Though we managed a fairly quick find whilst exploring the nearby creek. TFTC.
A challenge dodging wildlife on my way to Scott Creek.
A quiet area this morning.
A nice quick find.

Searched for a while without luck, then I tried approaching the location at a different angle and soon found the cache. Cache was in perfect condition. TFTC.
Clever hubby went straight to it! Thanks for your always interesting and always maintained caches!
Sadly I couldn’t find the cache but I come to the park almost everyday so I’ll try another day.
The last joint cache of the day and one that took a little searching. The cache was completely empty, so a new logbook has been supplied.
This was to be the last stop for a Rat and Owl today.
As Mrs rat had to met the crazy Geo Driver.
The low flying Owl had other places to be. Tftc

Found it but the log was soaked through, hasn't been touched on a year but was still hidden.
After an unsuccessful search earlier today, the CO contacted me with some new details and I looked a little further away. A return this afternoon soon had the cache in hand. Thanks heaps Lava12. 22/10/16, 3:43 pm Find #2975.
came out to cache scott creek national park but due to rain and blowing a hiking boot changed plans to park and grabs
I was on my way home from a couple of days in Mannum and I just let the GPS take me on a leisurely drive in the hills along some of the lesser known roads and I saw these two caches come up. 
So a small detour to a another place I have never been to before.
Not a soul about and after searching in a couple of places the cache was found. [^]

Quick find on our travels around the area with Mattycat, after a shower of rain took advantage of the lull in the weather to locate this one TFTC Lava12 
That's an oval. A wet one. But cache high and dry.
Found on an over the hills run with Mr Froghoppin for some escape from the Adelaide rains.
Good fun, successful caching day.

Loved the Hint. Made searching much easier! Surprised this one hasn't been muggled over its time there. but still a good cache, Thanks!
Glad to cross this one of the nemesis list today! Tried to include a small pencil for logging only to find one already in there! TFTC

Enjoyed the drive to this cache. I had not been along this road for some time and it was good to revisit the area. The hint helped make this a quick find. TFTC
Making my way to Scott Creek via Mark Oliphant CP.
The children's park was in use and I hoped I could park by the side of the oval and walk down,
but there was no-where to park safety [:(!]
My first attempt required a creek crossing and as I didn't have the appropriate footwear or waders,
this was not an option
So opted for plan B, find another way and found this going through the park, (Doh).
Met a lady getting rid of some Erica in the creek which had just flowered [^]
Proceeded to the cache, found after a few minutes of searching and a helpful hint.
Thank for another cache lava12

Co-ordinates were definitely off for me. Looked and looked at GZ. A million hiding places but decided to check out another area after a while and bingo. Was a cloudy day so may have been me. This was the last cache out of six for today. TNLN. Cheers.
Had to wait for the muggle on the oval with her Alsatian to leave... But then found it quickly 
What a greet spot! Haven't been to this oval before, boys love the play equipment!
We kept finding ourselves on the wrong side of the fences! But we got there! TFTC Lava12
I've had the Scott Creek oval caches on my radar for a while.
I was please, therefore, to find them with Featherlump while visiting friends in the area.

Had a quick look, was getting cold so went back to the car to get a jacket and returned for a quick find.TFTC
It took some hunting but we found it. It was filling up with water so we gave it a little tlc.
Found It!
It was late. It was wet. I was getting wetter. I broke out the touch app. I read the hint. I then found the cache!
