Thanks Dazzatron for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #9762 on 18/7/2024 at 12:20PMOut on a rare weekday adventure to find some caches and see some of our great state. This involved some driving, walking and riding to collect many types including some puzzles that have been solved for a good while. My second caching trip in the red cachemobile. Clever hide took a while. Great stuff

This cache was super hard and small. It took our team no short of thirty minutes. The map took us straight to the coordinates. Once we found it was so obvious. We wright our names and called it a job well done!!!!!! GO TEAM CHICKEN NUGGET!!!(Thanks to the creator this was an amazing cache.)

Getting away on a Yorke Peninsula long weekend. I wanted to get a weekend in before the busy school holidays kick in. Taking the opportunity to grab some solved mysteries and any traditional and multi caches along the way. Just so enjoyable exploring the regional areas in the sunshine. Very clever. A favourite point from me. Thanks for the cache Dazzatron.# # SmileSmile #13459 SmileSmile # #

Ha...think outside the square re the clue. Hats of to the CO for ingenuity. Worth a fav. For sure. PS this is my 4000 find. Shall dedicate this hide to that
Many thanks.

Took me way longer then 30 minutes, sat there walking around, reading comments. I started walking away from the compass because I thought it was moved. What a long time. I eventually saw where the cache was and started laying on the rocks in accomplishment. Took so long lol. It was definitely worth but oh my. Thanks for setting this geocache up, it was a great find and I enjoyed it.

Thanks!

Time for another Tuesday Trek and after wondering where the greenest pastures might be, the emergence of a mini series in Moonta tipped the balance in that direction. But of course there were going to be quite a few to find before getting to the main course. So after picking up the Rat it was north to Bute before heading west. Today, for a change, it was mainly traditionals but I did manage to include quite a few from the nice CFS series as well as a virtual for quite a variety on another rewarding day out caching.
A nice break from the new series. Having a previous finder along did help but it still took a while. I wonder how the CO managed to ensure that this hide would still be viable after the redevelopment [?]
Thanks to Dazzatron for putting out this cache.
Cache #13739 for me.

Found on our way back to adelaide on a stunning winters day. It’s actually a t shirt day. And the middle of winter ! I have always been worried about wriggly sticks here but this weekends seemed perfect. Swung by the day before and had a bit of an idea but confirmed with a previous finder later and we came back. Favourite point too

Gotta love a smiley face on the map! Thank you for contributing to the geo map and maintaining when required. TFTC

Hello
 
27-May-23
Equal best cache of the day here.
Took me ages, because I had to thoroughly search the other thing first. I love kneeling on ballast, don't you!? Then I looked a bit closer at where my phone said GZ was, and found it straight away, because the co-ords were spot on...
Excellent hide, I love these kinds of caches.

We love a railway cache and this one did not dissapoint. Took us a little while to find, but worth the hunt. Thank you for the information and the cache.

Nifty hide TFTC!

Nope, no luck for us.

I don't like micro's as a rule and really hate nano's. Caches like this that are well themed to the area i don't mind at all. Have a fav point for your effort.
Found with Mogni. Mogni wants to get to 20, 000 by the Rutherglen Mega in Victoria and make that event her 20, 000 th. So we went out to complete the " THE Sad Fisher series " and stay in Moonta for the night. We got 150 finds for the weekend even though we started out at lunch time Saturday. Any damaged caches found where replaced with a new container and any logs found full or almost full were replaced or a extra scroll added. The weather couldn't make up it's mind, over 30 on Saturday and it rained almost all of the way home.
 
So creative. Love it. Was hard work.

After setting our vans up in the caravan park with iluvtrekking we headed out to grab some nearby caches. If the 8 weeks we have been in SA, today is the first day we’ve actually felt warmth from the sun ??. Clever camo. Thanks Dazzatron

Ì use to live in the area but never did quite venture this far. Took a few minutes to find the ever so sneaky hide. The logbook definitely needs replacing as I was struggling to find a spot to put me to it.

We are staying in Moonta for a few days which gives us the luxury of exploring and caching.
This one had us searching for a while...it had to be there.
A lucky move by RoadieR finally had the cache in hand.
A really good and well constructed hide.
Thanks Dazzatron, a fav point from us.
(PS log is totally full and needs replacing!)
