It is time to say good bye. Thanks for finding my cache in the past.
 
01-Aug-20
We headed out for an afternoon walk and grabbed a couple caches while out and about.
Unfortunately the lid was off the cache container and it was full to the brim with water, so couldn't sign the log ;(
A nice walk through here. TFTC!

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

In an area with warbling magpies lots of trees and the general serenity of nature, devoid of Muggles and people in general, what better way to enjoy my day exercising and caching as well [^]

The weather was beginning to 'Cave In' with drizzle showers beginning to increase rather than dissipate, [I think I got that one wrong, No way i'd pass as a budding "Keith Martyn" [:o] Big Grin] i was wondering just how far into my cache cluster grab i would get before getting drenched or 'Satch' {Saturated} as a mate puts it Big Grin

This one was found quickly and it's log was signed at 11:20 on Sat 18 April 2020.
{Swapped the Coles Mini-Shop noodles cup for a Golf Ball Wink}

All is good and dry within the cache Wink

FIND #1
 
21-Feb-20
Apart from the dog barking and a near by house owner starring at me this was an easy find, tin is a bit worse for wear

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

Didn't know this area existed. Very nice. Thanks Lava12
 
06-Jan-18
We used to walk in this area all the time as kids. Nice to come back. Found in good condition. I probably should have moved further away from the find to avoid the ants that ran up my legs though! Tftc

What a marvellous little place. TFTC.

Don't end up on the wrong side of the fence. Tftc

Found on an afternoon walk with the geo-pup. Interesting unloved area, the tin was full of ants... attracted to the previous contents ?Smile. TFTC
 
02-Oct-17
What a lovely evening in spring. Birds are chirping and I’m out on my trusty bike.
There was probably an easier way to approach but I had my bike and had just been to the “Boulders” cache nearby.
I wasn’t sure if I was happy to get the smiley or if I would’ve preferred the original contents of the container. Smile

Thanks. Did we happen to see you near here wearing a red jumper today Smile liked this find. Good treasure didn't take any Smile

Nice easy find in a beautiful area. After 2 dnfs this morning was very happy to find this. Nobody had signed the log for 6 months wow!!!! Clearly it had not been moved and a few bugs have made home underneath it. A nice big cache with some treasure inside all in good condition.

An adventure at night
 
23-Nov-16
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.

A quick stroll across the river covering, up the rather steep enbankment and then a fence hop and this one was ticked off the unfound list.

This was find number 9 of 15 for the evening for me. TFTC Lava12!

Out for a walk exploring the area after moving in not long ago. Decided to find oit where I was by using my caching app and lo and behold I was 20m away from a hide. I made short work of finding it and the hint instantly made sense. TNLNSL TFTC.

Once we worked out the best way to access the area, it was a short walk. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Lava12 for the cache.

Came down along the school fenceline track Razz.
That's a big pipeline you see on the right as you walk down the hill Surprised.

Out for a little caching run before dinner with Madham02 and THEJORDS121. Big Grin This was the last one for the evening as it was now getting dark and we were getting hungry. Big Grin

Found during a caching foray into the southern suburbs. Strangely the swaps bag was completely full of water, while the ziploc bag containing the logbook was mostly dry. Drained out the liquid before replacement, but some parts are still quite wet. Thanks for the cache lava12!

Cleaned it up and replaced a new log book. Happy Hunting. Smile

day out With Firesafe CP and Locus cache Having a lot of laughs and a good time
nice eaasy find

This was another case of a full on day caching! SurprisedCool

I was out with the boys: firesafe, CP Wanderer and Honeysucker and had the luxury of driving a Prado with free diesel for the day, thanks to a friend of mine Surprised [^] Big Grin

Somehow, though, Prado got interpreted as Tarago by our usually extremely competent navigator Sad and so we mainly did urban caches rather than rural ones where the vehicle's potential could have been more full utilised but it was still a hugely fun day Big Grin and all up I attempted to locus cache at 95 caches: 89 successfully Cool and 6 DNFs Sad

Thank you, gentlemen, for the company and laughs Cool and huge congratulations to firesafe on his 10,000th cache [^] [^] .....which just happened to require a 23km fast run from Aldinga to Mt Compass for the FTF Wink (and our 2nd FTF for the day Big Grin [^] ). Belated congratulations to Honeysucker, too, for his 6,000th find Big Grin [^] Wink

Nice little walk through the grass to get to the cache and good to have a couple of caches within walking distance of each other Smile

09-Feb-13
Today I teamed up with Honeysucker, Locus Cache and CP Wanderer for a 16 hour caching day caching areas south of Adelaide finishing up in Victor Harbor around 2:30 am. Smile

We hit around 100 caches on the day, even making 2 FTF runs (one in Aberfoyle Park from Hallet Cove and the other at Mt Compass from Aldinga). The second FTF coincided with my 10000 find. Big Grin

Plenty of water flowing through the nearby pipes. TFTC. Big Grin

Mr Tardis was on a caching trip down in the southern suburbs today. I took a couple of minutes to locate this one - I must have been suffering from cache blindness. A nice container, but Mr Tardis doesn't touch the stuff (unless there is a logbook inside - which there was Smile).

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Lava12.

Not sure how the name of this cache came to be, maybe it has something to do with the container!?

Love a bit of Mr Walkers finest but I was most upset to find the original contents missing. It might have taken the edge of the chilly night air. If the original contents had been consumed in short time just about anybody would have fallen off the back of Horndale. TFTC lava12.
