Continuing our journey east from WA and home to Vic. Had a great weekend at WAGB and now seeing the sights and ticking off LGA's.We made the decision to leave the van and do an overnighter towards Adelaide to tick off as many LGA's as we could. Day 2 of this journey, deliberately chose caches near reserves/playgrounds and carparks to make it easier to stop the geovehicle. Concerned barricades would prevent me finding this, but it didn't. Harmless, cheeky homeless man checking my welfare from other side of barricade, then came over to me. I think he's observed some caching in this area, but the treasure was "our secret". Cache found quickly and all is well.TFTC TB's visited

After the event I spotted this nearby option. The rain falling was soothing as I approached GZ and a find was made, like the hint too. We will remember them.An early start today with a breakfast event in recognition of Pi Day (I went to one year and it was held at 09:26:53, how's that for Pi Nerd? Anyhow, after the event I had some chores including heading across the city to the airport and then back for other stuff. An opportunity arose after lunch for a quick hour out and about and managed a few more finds to keep my visit stats ticking over. Thanks to all COs for their hides and subsequent maintaining.

TFTC! Nice hide. The logbook is nearly full & the plastic bag is a bit worn so might need replacing soon.

Christmas trip to Adelaide 2023. Day 7. Blackwood Day 5. Today started with an event welcoming the February 29th event only being two months away. I then spent some time in and around Norwood completing a handful of caches, not all going according to plan. Next was a visit to the city to ride the tram and walk the shops. I finished my days caching with some bakery LABs that had started during the event. The day was windy and with a cool breeze the hot sun was not too much of a problem.After the event I went for a bit of a walk and managed to collect two caches before getting back in the car to head a little further afield.Thanks for the cache Doctor Owl45173.3 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & Ballarat Geotour 3 A#521**Albida**
 
Approached by the local park manager and his dog who asked us what we were doing. Before we could answer he asked if we were doing the pokemon thing. We let him go on his way. Readjusted our search area and bingo. There it was. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find on a glorious summer day.

Was in the area for a hair appointment and decided to have a look. I'm sure I looked for this years ago and didn't find it. Today I had more luck and made a quick find.

Was hard getting a park in this area.

Today I found this cache with my Uncle [@James0116](http://coord.info/PRBVA9T), my Geobrother and my GeoMum.

We went looking for this cache after dinner at a local restaurant while there was an AFL game happening, luckily it was easy to find without detection due to the ABC Radio tent being next to the cache blocking everyone's view of it.

Thanks, [@Doctor Owl](http://coord.info/PR6EN5E) for the fabulous cache location.

The cache was found on not particularly the best condition. No magnet, is likely to be blown away. Maybe the container - very rusty!

Found it clever clue TFTC
 
06-Oct-22
My car was making a funny noise that I've never heard, so I was tossing up between letting the engine sit overnight or taking it for a spin to see what happens.

I decided to take it for a drive because then I can find caches!

I had just had dinner at the nearby 24/7 bakery and checked to see if there was any nearby caches.

Well would you look at that?

A nice easy find. The way I like it.

Cache retrieved and signed.

Thanks Doctor Owl for this cache.

This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1799 on the 6th of October 2022.

16.03.21 tftc this cache has been my arch nemesis on and off for the past couple of years, I have crawled through the shrubbery, paced up and down all to no avail, so today we were passing by and happen to park next to the sign, this time I was the passenger and just happened to look to my left and unbelievably I could see it from the road ahhhhh

Initially was finding it difficult and looking in all the wrong places. Once we stopped and though about the more obvious spots we soon found it. Thanks for placing this one and giving us something to do on our Adelaide holiday.

This was our first cache attempt at night! After some yummy ramen for dinner we decided to try grab some quick finds before heading home. With one phone on 2% and the other on 10% the stress was slowly creeping up making it harder to find with minimal torch light available. After a little bit though JJ found it with a more thorough look and think about the clue. TFTC! Sabo + JJ #nightcrawleredition

After dropping my phone off on the Parade to get a new battery, I had time to explore and grab some caches.

I’ve had two prior attempts here. First attempt was muggled out during an AFLW game. Second attempt was at night and I didn’t have a torch.

Today the area was empty except for a few workman having smoko in the adjacent park. Found it straight away so it’s nice to put this one to bed.

Thanks for the cache Owl and Raven.
