TFTC Woolly_ your cache Final Approach that we found today. Day 3 at West Beach where we are camped in the lead up to the Great Leap Forward mega on the 29th of Feb. After attending the event this morning we returned back to camp.

We cached a variety of puzzles, multis, virtual and traditional caches.Great day that resulted in 45 finds for the day (including several ALs)Find Count: 18498

Out tonight to continue the streak and decided to turn this old DNF into a smiley. The eerie sound of a sprinkler in the dark and the possibility of suddenly becoming wet made for a spooky experience worthy of the all hallows eve. The cache was found and signed, though the logbook has seen better days. TFTC
 
07-Jul-23
Using my delayed flight as an excuse to find some caches.
 
17-Jun-23
TFTC, cannot sign as log too wet. Took photo
 
15-Mar-23
I left home a bit earlier to squeeze in a cache before my event and CITO.

I had been eyeing off this cache for a while and decided today was the day.

I have always been interested in plane spotting as well, always asking my parents if we could stop and watch planes at the airport whenever we passed.

A quick find here today.

Thanks Woolly_ for this cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 2587 on the 15th of March 2023.


I have hosted quite a few CITO's in my time, making huge differences thanks to the people who came along!

Whether you're out finding caches or just taking a stroll somewhere, remember to always be CITO-ing to help maintain our parks and reserves!


**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

Have come by this cache a few times over the weeks trying to find an opening but with sport being on it was never a good time. Today though it was different and largely had the ground to myself.

Quick retrieval, sign and replace was had after a small search and having the wrong idea at first.

TFTC!
 
09-Mar-22
After quite the day it was time to get a walk in and unwind. I headed in the general direction of this cache hoping that the slightly later time meant the area would be a bit quieter. I was lucky today and had the area almost to myself. I found the cache pretty quickly but was then muggled by a Qantas flight! All in good condition here. TFTC Woolly

My first in Adelaide! Look forward to finding a few more today and tmw! Tftc
 
05-Apr-21
The only thing on the agenda on a quiet Easter Monday was to head down towards the Airport and grab a few solved mystery caches in the general vicinity. I didn't go into Ikea...but it looked busy. I didn't go into Bunnings...but it looked busy. This cache was obviously not near the airport, but was on the way. The busyness factor at GZ was quite in contrast to the other spots I mentioned. There were no tennis players, cricketers, soccer players or dog walkers and as a result the cache was easily found. TFTC.
 
22-Feb-21
Lot of muggles around and the hound was very near gz worried about the hound that was watching me eventually muggles went cache in hand tftc see Sharon babe another cache ticked off lol love you babe
 
13-Feb-21
Headed out this morning to collect a few caches in the western suburbs, came past this cache last year but some council workers were doing something near HZ, back today and the coast was clear. Saw the cache tucked away on approach. Cache and contents are all good
TFTC
 
03-Feb-21
No planes passed over while I was here, but hopefully there will be more air traffic later this year. No cricket happening either, making for an uninterrupted find. Cheers.
 
02-Feb-21

Thanks for the cache
 
29-Jan-21
Whoops, sorry Woolly_ ,I accidentally dropped the log as I was retrieving the cache. I had nothing to reach the dropped log, so there is now just a piece of paper, and no plastic bag, in the cache.

24-Sep-18
Early morning drive to drop son (Luke) off at the airport, where he was meeting with 9 other boys and 2 teachers and heading over to Singapore and Cambodia to do some work in a self help community village. As you can imagine we are all very proud, excited and nervous.
While at the airport another mum and I got speaking, what do you know, 2 geocachers….. the lessons began! Kids interested and willing, teachers interested and willing so one muggle kid downloaded the ap and had a quick lesson on how to use it, he added me on Instagram for if he needs help. My son knows what to do thankfully but has never actually used the ap.... it was a very interesting morning all about caching, and after teaching them and seeing them off, we were thankful for the ease of finding a cache ourselves without the stress of teenagers. This is going to be a very interesting time for them, lol lets hope we make some geocachers out of them yet!!!

Find #8564

Today was a day of caching in and around Adelaide with lukie1987 after a massive road trip to Alice, it was a relief to be driving such a short distance today.

Sick and tired of the CBD traffic, we moved out a little to catch the ocean.


Many thanks to Woolly_ for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are happening! *Are you joining the fun?*
