Sadly i could not locate the original cache. Might look at replacing it in the future but will leave it open for others for now

I am investigating whether someone from the church has removed it or if it has been muggled. Will replace it ASAP if it has been taken.

We ventured up to Norton Summit to visit friends today. We decided to investigate their new area.
We arrived at GZ looked for awhile but alas no find. May need to check this cache as it may have gone missing. Thanks for bringing us here.

Out with Brisal5 after work.... sadly we think this has gone. Brisal had previously found it and it is not easily spotted.

Missed this one with DIL

Container was in open and missing lid. Replaced container. Tftc

Nice and peaceful :]

Found It!
Last time I was here it was a Sunday and needless to say I didn't find it. Today it was a cold and rainy Friday and the place was empty which made for an easy find!

Easy find on a cold rainy day. TFTC!

Found it!
Felt a bit awkward retrieving this one,
Happy the office was empty...

Found it with the family

Great fun - our 3rd! Thanx.

An easy find once we looked down. This cache was full of water but the extra protection meant the log was dry. TFTH.

Day 7 in a row for 31 days of caching in August. Luckily I have this week off to drop the geodaughter at a course..which = all day caching. Joined by Mrs. M from Aussie M&M for todays frivolities.

Nice easy find after the disappointment up the road. Thanks Purplekel. Pity the Lilac was only just starting to bud so we didn't get the purple part.

Visiting Adelaide after dropping into family at Kangaroo Island. There certainly are plenty of caches around this part of the state so I will do my best in the time available to bag some and show some foreign trackables what our beautiful country is like. Wherever possible I will replace log bags and top up caches with odds and ends. Thanks for placing this cache.

Checked on cache today, logbook now dry (was only very slightly damp) and none of the swaps are rusting... they are all plastic
Re-hidden in original location as that has more shelter from rain.

Cache was easy to find one only had to listen for the frog sounds. Cache was completely waterlogged and full of rusting items log book was damp as well. Might need to put a little devil it to heat things up. TFTC

Just driving by to Morialta CP. TFTC

A little water in the container...drained out what we could. TFTC.

This makes it #45, TFTC Purplekel!

Number 400 for the spidermonkeys! Found while on a FTF mission that was a failure. My dads family first settled in cherryville in 1840s and I am sure there would have been a few that attended this church. Significant spot for a significant find. Also visited the museum as its open in the mornings while mail is being sorted. Thanks for the adventure and the beautiful autumn leaves. TNLN

Found at 1125hrs after a quick search by Ranger's 2 &3, cache was found out in the open on the ramp. Re hid in the bushes & covered. TNLNSL TFTC

All quiet here today so this was an easy find. Thanks purplekel for the hide!!

Enjoyed a day of caching in the Adelaide Hills. A beautiful day, not too hot, meant that we could do some of the more physically taxing caching without getting too hot. An interesting variety of caches and it was great to find this one.
Nice work thanks to Purplekel.

bit surprised in its location but found easily

A nice spot, deserted on a weekday.
Thankfully a quick find, in such an exposed location.

Thanks

Number 1 boy found this one with bluebeardoz Thank you for the cache

found with grandboysoz
lovely day for a walk.
only 2 purple bangles left so left some swaps but took nothing.
I well travelled purple sparkle has finally got to the cache I grabbed it for... (NOT a TB ... just left for purplekel)
TFTC Purplekel... not where I thought it would be... but GPS had me with the find

Twice I got scarred off because of cars in the lower carpark but today I thought I would do it anyway. No one to be seen and an easy cache to find.
Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Found cache after a short search. TFTC.

Found it after a short search. Nice spot.

Co ordinates a bit off! TFTC

A nice walk from the pub. TFTC

My 3rd cache .
Great location, thanks.
T and L - nothing.

Rocked up to an empty car park, walked around a little bit and found the cache, as we opened the lid the sprinklers came on scaring us.. As we got back to the car they turned off...

Haunted much??

TFTC

Found this morning on a cold wet day. i swear the sprinklers are haunted haha.. they turned on as we passed and turned off as we got to the car :/ or maybe its just our minds playing tricks on us TFTC

Found with e.gregory, MtnLioness, and Tiger Muffin following a caching raid in the Morialta area. After a slight communication error that involved one member of the team hurtling off in one direction, and a mercy mission to retreive him from another, the cache was finally retreived and signed by those remaining. Thanks for the cache Purplekel!

Found this afternoon with Featherwaite, Tiger Muffin and MtnLioness. And yes, I was the one that headed off in the wrong direction - communication is everything! Thanks Purplekel for the cache.

After a big trek through Morialta, Mtn Lioness, FeatherWaite and e.gregory1 and T_M were headed to the after-party but not before picking up a few caches along the way.

The cache was easy enough to find but the fun started in trying to reassemble our crew due to miscommunication about our movements. TFTC Purplekel.

Found in the company of e.gregory, Featherwaite, Tiger Muffin and after nearly losing one of the guys due to not actually telling him where we were going, we finally all caught up with each other and off we went for some more!

Sent Mrs S in to pick this one up but she was having no luck. Mr S joined in the hunt, but it still took a while to find even with two sets of eyes looking. TNLNSL

Thanks for the cache,
Purplekel

An easy find during a day in the Adelaide Hills. Fortunately there wasn't a muggle in sight! Thanks Purplekel.

We found this quite easily on our way back from Lenswood Harvest Fair. We've had a great day!

Not my usual driving route, but had enough time to stop and find a cache before getting back to the rest of the family at the church of modern day capitalism.
This one felt a bit like sneaking round someone's back garden, with the garage right by the cache, but no-one around, so it was a quick quiet cache then back on the road.
Thanks purplekel, I liked the colour-matched cache container too.

Mid monday mornings seems to be a good time to visit this spot [^]
TNLNSL, Cheers

Nice temple. Which deity are we sacrificing virgins to here?

An easy find. Thanks Purplekel.

A quick find. Had lunch at the Scenic Hotel after.

Thanks Purplekel for the cache.

Easy find on the way to a big one in the Morialta National Park. Kids loved the contents. TFTC.

A lovely old church with some great views. No problems locating this cache - I did my best to re-hide it as it was very visible to people walking past. SL. TFTC.

A quick lunchtime outing for a new cache.
A lovely old church in a beautiful part of the hills.
Thanks for the cache and blessings for the church here.

Whoo hoo,FTF
We saw we raced we won and purple is our favorite color as well.
Took tb left tb
