Spending the day exploring the Adelaide Hills and grabbing a few caches along the way. I started in Bridgewater, then to Mount Barker and then to Nairne. Despite the wind, I had an enjoyable day visiting new places. Quick find here. All good. Thank you voogoofish, for placing Toy Soldiers for the geocaching community.# #

#15194 # #Staying at Mt Barker cp for 4 nights. Great weather. Took a scenic drive to some nearby towns & picked up a few geos along the way. Arrived back at cp at 3pm. Needed to get my steps up so took off to find more caches. Tftc
A quick find here today, cache is all goodToday I headed up into the hills to Little Hampton to attend an event, after the event I made my way around Mount Barker finding a few caches yet to be found before making my way down into the city to find some newer caches.Thanks for the cache
Nice suspicious pile of bark made a nice quick find although had to walk back a bit from where Tigtog08 and I parked. Tftc
Thanks Voogoofish for the cache. It appears, as others have noted, to have gone astray. I replaced your cache and covered it with a good amount of camo. Thanks for the challenge. Find #7870 at 11.39am

Originally overshot GZ before correcting myself. Was a nice little off trail ride! Didn't bring writing implement unfortunately so photo log sent to CO.
Tftc, really enjoyed this one.

I popped past this local cache and replaced the cracked container with a new one. I didn't realize how damaged the log was or I would have brought a new one of those too. In honour of the original inhabitants of this cache and the man that placed them (you are still so missed MB!! ️) I have added a parachute soldier to kickstart the swaps again.
I had picked up Doctor Owl from the car dealership where her car was undergoing some repairs and we headed for the hills. [^]
A list was made of some caches we both had not found along with a few others that one of us hadn't found and it turned out to be a lovely day driving on some nice back roads, then having a few small walks and a very yummy lunch in Stirling.
All in all a great day out in the sunshine with more caches than we thought we would find.
This is another one that I have just driven past on previous visits but today we stopped so I could make the find. I eventually found the broken cache with the log sheet on the ground. I stamped the log and put it back in as best I could.
I didn't have a container with me to replace it but maybe a futer finder can replace the container to keep this oldie going. [^]
Thanks for the cache.

Cool find, however some maintenance would be good as the lid was broken and is open to rain
Great find, shame about the giant spider in the broken case!! Thanks, old friend, God bless
Full time nomads exploring SA. We headed out with a list hoping to complete all of the multi caches that we had started on Monday afternoon. Once the list was completed we found ourselves in Nairne so we decided to tackle the AdLab before heading home. Of course it took us way longer than we expected.
sadly our day finished with a DNF too.

Another quick find along side a busy road but well away from prying eyes and the traffic. TFTC.
Sneaky hide found on Australia day with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) ! TFTC!
Today for this Australia Day, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I had planned a visit to Monarto Safari Park, and so we called past a few geocaches before and following seeing the animals. A warm-ish day, but nonetheless quite enjoyable.
On our return back to Adelaide, we made a stop in Mount Barker, targeting a needed multi-cache for today. Along the way, we stopped off at this town entrance cache, and I headed up to make the find. After a few minutes of looking, the cache was located. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, thanks voogoofish for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
No soldiers though, so perhaps they are long gone from greeting locals and visitors to Mount Barker?

Found out with Beary Organised on last day of the Year. Goodbye 2019. TFTC TNLNSL
Joined two other cachers who were searching when we arrived. Good find. Not where I thought it was going to be. TFTC TNLNSL
Badly needing to find a park i was wanting to get this and about 3 or so others closer to Mt Barker this morning.
Found a shady park on this 34oC day and safely made my way across to this one.
I was looking in all the wrong spots at first but then there it was staring at me [:o]

The usual Wednesday wanderings for the troupe of Puzzled Puzzlers animals was planned for Murray Bridge however at the last minute the KORF (Sushilord) sent a message telling us that he was not feeling up to the day's outing, the plans were changed to target Mount Barker, the home town of the Starfish who had already cleared out all the hides which left only the Adder and the Rat to seek out the hides.
Arriving at GZ, the Adder needing to find this one, the search began. After a few minutes there were a couple of muggles watching his movements. Hmm where to hide?
As it turned out, these two muggles from overseas were actually seeking the same thing so with pleasantries shared the search began.
Spotted by the visitors, the log was signed and the cache replaced. TFTC

Found while out on a good friday, hunting traditionals in and around Mount Barker, or there abouts.
Thanks for the cache voogoofish

Tried to find last night by torchlight with no luck. Took about 2 seconds in the daytime. Cache in good condition. This one is close to home so I can check on it from time to time
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Heading into the Mount for work but it is lunchtime so there is always to stop and find a cache or two. This one was bugging me as it is in a spot that is difficult to get to but today being school holidays I found a park nearby. Yay. Wandered to GZ and did spend a little longer searching for the cache than I would have liked but did spot the cache eventually. Extracted the log, signed and replaced. Glad to have this one off the map.

Quick dash out to get my daily cache; the geo dogs enjoyed the brisk walk from the info bay.
First cache found for Car 9 on NONT tonight, easy once we looked in the right direction TFTC
