Today out and about on 278 of 366 days to get my daily cacher Dimond. Using my Garmin Etrex 22X, Garmin Montana 700 and MacBook Air!Thanks for the cacheTFTC
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
Hey I think the cache is missing? I found the cap of the can that the cache had but the actual body is missing.
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.
Heading to the event this morning before the long trek back home. A quick cache or two was needed! Easy find here. Thanks for the fun and adventure!
After walking past many times looking, I finally remembered a pen. And at 0430hrs t isn't hard to not give the hiding spot away.
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.
Quick find and a stop at OTR for lunch.Egg and bacon sausage roll, unusual and a FUIC.TNLNSL TFTC Jeffjulie
TFTC! A short search and it was in hand. Container could use an upgrade to ensure that the log, which is rather old, doesnt get ruined if it rains.
in adelaide for an appointment, but fitted this cache in to meet my cache calendar challenge.nice work btftc Doctor Owland bringing me to this specific spot
I found the logbook and container lying separately on the ground. I put them back together and tucked away, but not sure if its the right place TFTC
This was an interesting discovery and the story of Captain Lionel Matthews, GC MC is a very interesting one. Did you know his son is still alive and active with the Royal Australian Corps of Signals Association? TFTC

Quick find after this mornings event
aka “the coloured mint tin by the sea people”

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.

A quick find on my way to work this morning. The hint had me looking at the wrong spot for a few minutes, but it didn’t take long to work out where it must be. TFTC
Cache in perfectly serviceable condition and has lasted months without being blown away. Fussy cachers are welcome to substitute a better quality cache.
The cache was found on not particularly the best condition. No magnet, is likely to be blown away. Maybe the container - very rusty!
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.

Now that’s some good colour matching! Nice fountain nearby as background sounds. TFTC.

Nice hide, took me a while but once I found it I couldn’t believe that I didn’t look there in the first place!! TFTC Doctor Owl and Raven
Quick find on the way to a nearby event. Thought the fountain was very nice. TFTC
So much suffering the soldiers taken prisoner by the Japanese after the fall of Singapore. We will remember them. TFTC
Enjoyed a day of multis and challenges with goingplaces2. Did quite a distance so more LGA's will be coloured in on the map. Thanks for placing this cache.
Today was another effort to get some smileys in Adelaide LGA's where no finds were yet recorded. Came along with ilook4geo after picking some random caches off the map. Both names were soon added to the log of each cache found. Thanks for this cache placement go to Doctor Owl.
Walking some more delicious delights off my waist line before heading to the next 24hr bakery!
Out and about with Peas&Carrots with an eating ‘adventure’ planned at some 24hr Bakeries of Adelaide!!

Went for a long Geocache with Elyse this morning. Tried to find this one first with no luck. Moved on and got 6 others in the area and decided to come back. The pencil is broken so will return and sign next time I'm in the area. Great hide.
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
Out with Geosparkie0 on a beautiful day. Thanks for being the chauffeur Geosparkie0. Took a little while but perseverance paid off. Lovely area. TFTC
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.
