Thanks for the cache. There were a few ants around that needed to be brushed away, and some cobwebs too, but that's all part of the fun !!.

With a day of warm, sunny weather, before a week of clouds of and rain, I decided to make the most of it and head out for a day of caching. One of the targets for this afternoon was to head to Scott Conservation Park for a good stretch of the legs and search for a few caches. With the day beginning to drag on, I decided to slowly make my way home with the hope of at least finding a couple of caches along my way. Having pulled off the highway, and parked pretty close to ground zero, it did not take me long to have the cache in hand and my name in the log book. With the cache replaced, I was on my way home.Find #11228, at 05:53 pmTFTC

Cute little hiding spot! Be careful of the spiders! Thank you for the pencil! Loved looking for this one!

kids first trackable so we will hide it in one of our next caches for someone to take it to Melbourne

Thanks for the cache! We went to Paxton for a wine tasting and came past this cache. The wine was delicious and the box found quickly, so life is good. We left a travel bug in the cache. The TB would like to travel to Melbourne.

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. We're staying in Willunga for a few days, hunting down some nearby caches. Thanks to the COs who have placed caches along our route. A quick P&G. LNCU

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Aldinga for a few days and ranging from there to grab some finds. Thanks for the hide LNCU

Travelled to SA to attend The Great Leap Forward with friends and cache around for a couple of weeks before heading to Canberra. Today it's off to Victor Harbour and signing all logs as 6 for QLD. This is my first time to visit SA so enjoying my travels. TFTC

5.22pmIn Adelaide to attend the Great Leap Forward event from Qld with geofriends and having a great time.Today we headed to Victor Harbor and Goolwa to find caches on our must do list. On our way back to Adelaide stopped to grab a few caches in LGAs we needed. This was a quick find and a view to boot. Log signed 6 for Qld.Tftc

After over seven weeks on the road, I'm back home and finally catching up on all my logging.Caching in South Australia was fantastic, so many good hides to find, and we found ourselves zigzagging all over the place doing lots of geoart but of course ran out of time to get everything done on our to-do list.The majority of caches we found were in great condition and well maintained, which is a credit to all the CO's who placed them, so thank you.Our logs were mostly signed as 6 for QLD to save room on the log sheets, and no doubt, we'll be back again in the future

Good hiding spot!

We are heading into Adelaide to catch a plane to Perth to visit some sick elderly friends, we have realised that are flight doesn't leave at 7.30am but rather 7.30 in the evening which suddenly gave us 12 hours more caching which we were quite happy to use and we were very happy that we hadn't had the times the other way around.

We are now heading into Adelaide from Victor Harbour grabbing a cache here and there to break up the drive. WE pulled up at this one and were rewarded with some spectacular views across the grape vines towards the mountains before heading off to an obvious location and the cache was found straight away and our name added to the log.
We headed the warning as it was extremely windy today but we still managed to add our name to the log.

Thanks once more for the cache, now to get back on the busy main road.

Easy find, TN Left baby smurf

Today, jesswrigley and I started the day with a breakfast event in McLaren Vale, before spending the morning exploring the vicinity. We then headed west towards Myponga and Myponga Beach, enjoying a nice beach walk seeing the fascinating geology. A final late lunch stop was had in Myponga, and then we returned home in the early afternoon.

Our first geocache of the day, and we had a little time before the scheduled event start to quickly call in here. Some nice views of the vines from this spot, and a quick find of the cache. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks spuddymoore for the cache placement, and mogni for its ongoing maintenance.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

Final full day before flying back to Brisbane tomorrow. Moving back towards Adelaide. Arrived at GZ and started searching. Found cache and signed log. TFTC

Owl has been annoyed by this green box for some time, as she is always coming from the wrong direction or too pressed for time to do it. However, today was the day and a quick find was made.

Gotcha this time.. thanks

White car sitting on top of it... I'm waiting down the rd... are you one of us? Move along please..

TFTC easy find

Found on a hot day. Was a little worried about snakes but grass had just been slashed so it wasn't too much of an issue. Looked around GZ for a bit and then used clue to easily locate cache. Filled the cache with loot and left a TB. TFTC

Out with hevwalker on a much cooler and slightly wet day caching around the southern suburbs.
It took longer to cross the very busy cross roads, then to find and sign the cache.
Thanks for the cache spuddymore & mogni

Nice find thanks

Found it. No toys in it, but we left some treasure anyway. Thank you

Nice easy find. Kids were excited by the new log book.

I’m sure that Miss Muffet had been sitting here because her companion had certainly weaved its web.

Out and about doing maintenance on my adopted caches. I have replaced container.
Enjoy

Good view over the vale

On the way to McLaren Vale - detour, found and signed the log.

Thanks mogni for organising the cache and hunt [^]

We needed to find one more cache for the day to meet a target we had set ourselves and this one was chosen. Accurate coordinates and and obvious hide location led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks spuddymoore for the cache.

What a lovely cache and easy to find. TFTC

Sadly we had to leave Adelaide
heading off to McLaren Vale. We took a few boxes on the way. We also strolled around in Glenelg.

Thanks to all COs for placing and maintaining the caches.

Found and logged together with Swerik, Mikaching and GPS-Wickie.

Thanks for the cache.

Unfortunately we had to leave Adelaide already today to go to our friends place in McLaren Vale. It was a short night after celebrating new years eve at Elder Park. But before we left we were heading to Glenelg to explore and meet other friends surprisingly once again.

On our way we were able to turn a couple of boxes in to yellow smileys.

Thanks to spuddymoore for placing the cache.

Thanks for hiding this cache, OZGrumpy

Clever spot to hide the Cache. TFTC

Very easy and good hiding spot!!! TFTC

Woo hoo it's Friday frolicking again. Once again I met up with Froghopping for the second of probably many treks into the Onkaparinga River National Park on the search for those elusive smileys. Continuing our clockwise navigation around the park we added another three in the ORNP series which was enough to confirm one of the puzzles and started collecting digits for the second. Today we only did about 12 kms of hiking and went up 77 floors of elevation in doing it a big drop from a fortnight ago but we were dodging rain showers and had a little less time. [B)] We got about a half dozen in the park and a few more just outside. Still gonna take a few more trips. [:o)]

A quick stop whilst changing parking spots for the Onkaparinga River National Park walks. Cache was in the first place I looked.

**Thanks spuddymoore for this cache. **

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Super quick find TFTC

Out for a days caching with Getnict heading south for the day, enjoyed the variety of hides we found and enjoyed a picnic lunch,
Thanks

Out for a lovely day of caching down south, we had kidnapped Briana the Explorer for the day. We had planned for a day of caching with a picnic lunch onboard and a target of 37 caches to find to beat Briana's PB of finds for a day.

Cleaing up the geomap down south with Purrfect Di,
