Dropped a Rainbow Unicorn Travel Bug But forgot to record the number so It is not logged.Cache in good order.Filmore
A quick tramp through the grass proved the age old saying, "Hard way in, easy way out". The container is no longer what is described. Pleasant little area. TFTC.
I was going to an event nearby and as I was a little early I decided to do a spot of caching here. I wandered down to the blocking boulders and commenced my search. I turned up the good pretty quickly, which I was happy with. TFTC CachingMim
I rode to this cache. It took me a few minutes to find it, but in the end I found it.
Out celebrating the June long weekend my own way by picking up some caches and completing some adventure labs that I've had my eye on for a long time. I'm not down this way too often but I was staying at my parents so I made use of being closer while I could.
I wasn't going to go out today, until I got notified of the new Signal's Labyrinth this morning.
With my sense of adventure reinstated, I went where the roads lead. They ended up taking me around Happy Valley, Morphett Vale, Onkaparinga Hills, Reynella, Noarlunga, Port Noarlunga South, Seaford, Seaford Rise and Moana.
A total of 31 finds for the day and 5 DNFs, an 86% success rate.
Quick and easy find here today.
Cache retrieved, I left my stamp at home so I signed with good old fashioned pen.
Tweezers, torches and other useful tools of the trade are always on hand for necessary cache retrieval.
As well as a first aid kit and gloves for when things get messy.
Thanks CachingMim for this cache.
This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1157.

Thanks cachingMim for this hide. I was here around a year ago and could not make the find as it was 30m off into the bushes somewhere. Today I was in the vicinity and determined to up end a frowny I targeted this one for a revisit. The cache was found in an appropriate location and was in good condition. The log book is a little worse for wear but easily signed.
Today was my second to last opportunity to bolster my annual find count. I started with some owner maintenance, a couple of DNF revisits, and onto the southern suburbs to gather some numbers. I found myself in Lava land again, always a delight to be in amongst quality caches. I was further enthused by encountering the home nest of hides from weredunn4, what luck. I lost some time replacing some neglected ones but on the whole, it was a super day, called short by the phone running out of juice and me not having a portable charger. Thanks to all CO’s for today's fun and adventures, no death noodles were sighted, and all muggles I encountered were happy to chat.

Finally found. Tried to find in December but could not find it then. Glad to mark this one off
Looked around for quite a while and eventually gave up. As we were walking away cows with guns noticed a container about 30 Meters from gz in the open and we think this is the cache. Signed log and put it back where we think it should be. Tftc
As we were walking away from the GZ about 30mtrs we found sitting in the open was the cache with Log book and swaps.
Rehid the cache at GZ.

We were looking around at the boulders and my friend said she saw a container under the rock. I went to pick it up and open it. Sure enough, she had found the geocache.
We were out for a walk, trying to make our way to the nearby playground, and grabbed this cache on our way through.
Signed the log and continued on to the playground - not sure if you're supposed to access through that path but snuck through anyway.

Discovering a lovely walking area for the first time, i made my way to this one with shoes gradually become wetter and wetter with the drizzle [:o]
Whilst the rain or any form of it is appreciated i felt the heavens would eventually open up on me so my searching became hurried which is when i usually invite DNF's into my day but luckily this one was spotted early in the search [^]

A duck down through the long grass to this cache, cache was easily located and may need some better camo!
Today I started off by collecting some caches around where I am currently living at craigburn farm and aberfoyle park. A nice morning out walking around the local area. I soon made a decision to head to the south east for the rest of the day and collect the odd cache here and there before arriving at millicent for the evening. Was great to be able to pick up an FTF along the way as well. Overall 27 finds for the day.
Thanks for the cache

We can see the playground but we are on the wrong side of the fence. That's all I am going to hear on the way back to the car. Doh. Lol
Great hide. Haven't been this far behind Horndale.

Was just walking past and found this one out in the open and exposed. Rehid it where I found it last year. CO might like to check.
Helping Ratbag 1 continue his A-Z 0-9 challenge finds today [^]
Took longer than it should have Eventually thought to myself, ‘now where would I hide it?’... and sure enough

A friendly neighbour spied me surveying the area so came to investigate. She assisted in getting to the cache from the wrong side of the fence. Lovely quiet area. Tftc
Placed the log book in a container and added a pencil and some swaps to keep this cache alive. (CO hasn't been active for over a year). Enjoy!
Found on an afternoon walk with the geo-pup. Interesting area, cache is still only a ripped plastic bag, so we replaced the bag at least . TFTC
Took a while to find this one. 4 geokids in tow under the age of 4 didn't aid the search. As we were walking away i read the logs and realised the cache was not exactly what it says it should be..so geomum wanted to have one more try (i thought she hated caching) and less than a minute later we had it in hand. Bag is ripped and log is soggy but all intact. I signed and was glad this didnt get the better of me. Next time i pop by this way i may bring a small container to house this sad looking cache unless it is repaired sooner. Tftc made a lovely morning walk
Out and about on my deadly treadly. I am looking for a cache to drop a TB in. My first attempt was a DNF so on to this one.
Decided not to leave it here because of the condition - no container and the plastic bag is deteriorating badly. I will have to try another one.
Such a lovely day to be caching. Mozzies seem to be enjoying it too.

Found while walking the dog. Probably should say dog found as he loves putting his snout in every hidey hole.

Found the cache much like what Marvin described log still usable, placed back with care. TFTC
Wow nobody had signed log for 6 months! Cool spot! I found it quickly but dismissed it as rubbish and continued searching before coming back to it and realising that it was it. There is no bottle just a snap lock bag sitting in dirt that has water damaged treasure inside and a damp (but still ok) log.
Container needs replacing. See photo.
I have put it upright back in its hiding spot to try to prevent further water damage.

An after work Wednesday caching run with Moneydork and locus cache where we hit up the south again, to grab some of the new listings as well as avenge some old DNF's.
We hopped the fence and crossed the crumbling old bridge. No trolls were ambitious enough to challenge us. Cache found easily enough, though as others mentioned, it is now just a zip lock bag.
This was find number 8 of 15 for the evening for me. TFTC CachingMim!

Today I figured out what would be the best parking spot for this cache I ended up bbush bashing through some pirtty long grass before arriving at an obvious gz. After poking around the obvious areas I was almoost about to give up before deciding to rea a few of the logs. Armed with new information I knew what I was looking for and the cache ws soon in hand. Like previous finders I can confiorm that it is just a zip lock bag witgh log and trinkets.

Out for a walk exploring the area after moving in not long ago. Given that the container is just a bag the log isn't too wet. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Our old TomTom took us over to the playground on Matthew Street, but our progress was blocked by a 6 foot high, cyclone fence . After some back-tracking and locating a couple of other caches, we managed to find a way to retreive this elusive (for us) cache .
Not found in the first place we looked [:o)]. TNLNSL.
Looks like the container for this one's been missing for a couple of years now and we're surprised the CO hasn't been to replace it .
Thanks again CachingMim.

Mr Tardis went for a nice walk after the rain today down to the bridge. I saw the boulders and the tree and found the cache in the second place I looked. The cache container is only a zip lock bag, but it seems to be surviving well in its hiding spot.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache CachingMim.

Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the GeoDog. Wouldn't recommend trying to find this one in summer. Especially if you're a bit sus of things that slither! TFTC
Just a ziplock bag. I used to travel over these boulders every day on the way to work many years ago - signed log
Wet shoes,wet socks YAY
Strolled up here after a previous cache and that a big tree that has fallen on the bridge, must be some strong concrete.

Much more then just boulders blocking the bridge. There's a fallen tree and heaps of weeds making the search harder than it needed to be. And the cache is just a plastic bag, no bottle as per the description. TFTC.
Found It!
Took a little while to get the right bolder but a quick find after that. For some reason I kept thinking of the movie quote \"That's a nice boulder!\" - only I can't remember what movie it's from...

Out for a little caching run before dinner with Madham02 and THEJORDS121.
Followed the path towards GZ and found ourselves surrounded by very large boulders. Started looking in all the possible hidey holes while the GPSr settled down. Used a stick to move the rather long grass just in case there were any nasties hiding in there. Came back to one place we had looked before and after looking a little bit further the cache was found.
