Slate Creek Trail #2 The Gudgeon Greenwith, South Australia, Australia
By ~*KittyKat*~ on 06-Nov-12. Waypoint GC40WJ9

Archiving.

Were searching for this cache for a while, nicely hidden.
We put on mozzie repellent, but still they were attacking us.

Nice spot for a walk.
Found easily. Nice work on cammo.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Love this walk. Took a Jeep travel bug.

F(H)ound it! 12:05

I'm visiting Adelaide for a few days from Queanbeyan NSW with the Ridgeo-pup.

My friend is involved with regenerating the bush along the creek here, you will see some weeds have been removed up the far end of this trail by his hard work. He was interested in checking on how that was going and doing a recky of the rest of the creek. And...huge bonus!...there was this lovely caching trail for us to do at the same time. What a pretty spot, I really enjoyed the effort that you have put into the containers. We saw a lot of wildlife, it seems that every tree had several hollows which were either inhabited by birds or bees (it IS Spring, I guess ).
This was our first find for the day and it was big enough for me to drop the Little Warrior River (AL) Travel Bug - good luck, little buddy. TFTC and the trail ~*KittyKat*~

Cool find with the geo kids

Nice park. Cache was found quite easily. No muggles to be seen

~*KittyKat*~ is in the process of allowing me to adopt the caches in this trail.
Once this is done, I will do a maintenance run and fix them all up.

On a not too rainy Tuesday afternoon, Mattycat took Purrfect Di and Chloe the geodog-in-training out for a walk...
After climbing a mountain of rocks, jumping a fence twice, getting stuck in the bushes too - yes, we found the fish!
Surprisingly easier than expected, a nice big one too
tftc ~*KittyKat*~

Nearly gave up on this one and then my eye caught it. Filled with more swaps.

More luck with #2 than #1. Nice hide KittyKat TFTC. JREJOS

With a disappointing start to a new trail we had set our eyes on, we wondered down for the second part of the series. This time of the afternoon was muggle and muttsville :cP so bided our time and admired the massive Eucalyptus nearby. We made a quick retrieval when there was a break in foot traffic :c) TFTC!! Hopefully the starting cache of this trail is back online soon.

Owl was looking for a quick find on a hot day, but when she was muggled out at that one she decided a short walk wouldn't be too taxing. Lots of choices for hides, but she eventually contemplated the scenery enough to work out where it was. As usual she was able to reel in her catch with a smile.

Looked for somewhere to go on a shortish walk with the geomutt and spotted these caches along here. This was the first one found. We had actually walked slightly past GZ and were looking a few meters past it without any luck. Finally looked at the GPSr again and headed back a bit further and then spotted it straight away as it was mostly uncovered and out in the open, a bit hard to miss. Covered it up a bit better and headed off to the next one.

Awesome cache Tftc

Gosh !! When I was a little tacker going to Para Hills Primary skool, these areas of suburbia didn't exist [:o]
It was all out in the country !!

Not today though !!
On me bike ride I was wobbling around areas I couldn't have dreamt would be under concrete and bricks all those years ago !!
And still suburbia marches on swallowing more of the hills !!

Slate creek is an interesting bit of wilderness between the houses
And following the trail on me bike I was soon close to the cache
A short rummage around and I soon found the well hidden prize

The gudgeon still resides beneath the lid [^]

TFTC !!

Geopup and I decided we needed some exercise today and so a few caches on this trail were selected. We were more than happy to have a rest, a drink of water and then spot the cache. The size of this one surprised me, and it was a great start to our discoveries along the trail today. Thanks:)

Found at 1225hrs by Ranger2 but she couldn't get the lid off as it as was cross threaded by the previous finder. Ranger1 managed to loosen it so the log could be signed. Nice area but the cache was visible from a distance as it was sticking up. Signed the log & replaced so it was less visible. TNLNSL thanks Kittykat for the cache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

A quick find whilst in the area today
The geokids saw the nearby playground so had to stop for a while

Easy find for cachers in the know SL TFTC

Sitting on a rock listening to the wildlife. What is this a cache. SLTN TFTC

Beautiful day for trail caching to a few more smilies to my map.
Easy find, TFTC

Dropped past this morning.
Cache is holding up quite well
It's a shame the loot is almost empty as I had out a heap of great stuff in here when I placed it, to make it kid-friendly
Will top up next time I go by.

The playground is great in the mornings with plenty of bird life around!

I caught me a Gudgeon! A big one too.
Cheers KittyKat
Find #474

A nice day for a walk and to grab some caches on the way. I like the cammo. TFTC

The littlest Einstein enjoyed a day of caching with his Grandad and other favourite Andrew better known as his bffs Dad. He enjoyed signing our name and came home with lots of caching stories.
TFTC

Run count = 3 of 25
12:46:00 PM

Andrew, Andrew and little Andrew with Mrs Parrot went out caching today.
Andrew & Andrew continued their injury streak with the other Andrew walking head first into a tree whilst reading a cache discription.

We had a good day and covered a few kilometres driving and walking.

It was a good selection of caches because many were down trails.

Loved inside the container of this one

Tracker the Labrador Travel Tag

Looks like this trackable is gone did you know that the CO can mark this as MIA which stops it showing up on other cacher's searches? It takes less than a minute to do

Another good one tftc

Loved the fish. TFTC

Find 1970
Found on my way home after the 2013 Labour Day Tagalong Tour of Para Wirra Recreation Park and area with *Cache_or_Check*, FeatherWaite and Tiger_Muffin.
Thanks to ~*KittyKat*~ for the cache and the cool down stroll.
Fine Elsewhere

On my approach to this cache, my GPSr wanted me to jump the fence and go look in the front yard of the house across the road. Thinking that it was having a brain fart, I ignored the arrow and just worked off the numbers counting down. As soon as I was within 3 m, the arrow snapped around and pointed to the cache!
Now that's a log book. Thanks for the cache

Found with Bek TheRaccooŋ and snooky1 who spotted it on approach. TFTC

Found with Bek TheRaccooŋ and snooky1.

Nice hide.. cheers for the cache

well searched around for while and then saw something that should not be.
Very Clever hide and an effort worthy of a fav point.

TFTC ~*KittyKat*~

Another good one. Fav point. Thanks ~*KittyKat*~.

Cold rear but cache in hand quickly. Nice one. TFTC

Two down, two to go. A few muggles about but waited till they cleared before opening. TFTC

Found while out trying to get to 500. Only a few more to go. Great cache good hide thanks

Trying to catch up on Logs from a while ago.
Grabbed this one after doing the other caches along the trail while the toddler played on the nearby playground.
TFTC - We loved the GEO-trail

TFTC - A quick find amongst the rocks on a winters afternoon walk

A Sunday Arvo walk with Girlfriend and Geo pup, and a chance to find a few geocaches, the pup was on his first big walk and got used to it while we looked for these caches i liked the different camos and look forward to looking for the rest TFTC

What to do on a Sunday? Go caching of course K said we should do the Slate Creek series so off we went. We enjoyed the walk along the tracks through the parks. K made the find again. Great camo. TFTC ~*KittyKat*~!

taking advantage of the public holiday to cache with the geo family. excellent camo. geo hubby spotted it quickly. took bean left dino

Had a great day on your series! Some amazing trees along the creek, dark stormy sky & bright sunshine against the beautiful trees!! Sl

A fantastic day of caching on foot through Cobbler Creek and surroundings with 12 finds and no downheartening DNF's. The day started out a bit chaotic as we forgot our pen but we were saved by a local hero going by the name of "Ryan" after he gave us his pen and ended with sore feet and happy smiles Awesome little series well done to -*KittyKat*- for the effort put into this and of course the fun
We like this one. The playground next to it was unfortunately closed but this brightened our spirit Favourite point ahoy! TFTC

Quicker than I expected. Tftc

Soooo cool and I love the boldness of this one +1fav. Spotted it and thought. No I couldn't be but it was… swaps need topping up! TFTc sl

Warming to our journey along the creek now and a good quick find to keep the pace going. TFTC.

PS There are no Trackables in this cache.

Nice cache. Thanks for bringing me to a new place. TNLN TFTC

A very clever who would think that it is fake TFTC ~*KittyKat*~

Very clever hide - well thought out, but a bit sneaky
TFTC *KittyKat*

Not much water in the creek today, but thought I’d try my luck fishing anyway! Sat lock was a little iffy at first but eventually settled on one area and what do you know – a fish was found. Great size cache for an urban area. TNLN SL Thanks for the cache and for bringing us to a nice park.

Unfortunately there was muggles galore when we arrived at GZ.
Although we had the perfect decoy in little smirch and smirch-dog we still had to wait for the perfect moment to grab this cache.
Luckily it didn't take too long for the muggles to move along so cache was successfully in hand having been found by smirchette !
TNLNSL TFTC kitty kat.

Got this one thanks got tb 2

TFTC! Rehid it a bit better as it wasn't very hard to find

last cache for the day running out of time and rain starting to fall took a long time to find with muggle aunty took travel bug left travel bug thanks for the cache kittykat looking forward to finishing this series!

While walking to Slate Creek #1 I thought that this area would be ideal for a cache. Sure enough. A traveller now sits in this cache ready for new adventures.

Thanks for the cache ~*KittyKat*~.

LOL found the cache, and jumped when I opened it, nice one!!!!

I took your advice and sat on a rock signed the log, pondered life and then continued on the trail to the next cache. TFTC

Another great hide geoson found it. TFTC

Gudgeons can be scary but safely found.

Last find of the day. I think it scared Bacon8100 a little when he opened it TFTC!

Very quiet around here today, plenty time for us to ponder the location before finally making the find. TNLNSL TFTC

A nice, quick find while the kids played - TFTC

Parked as suggested and made the short walk over through the deserted park .
Spotted under the obvious natural feature, but the clunking on opening had us a little concerned [?]. Needn't have worried.
Took TB. Left Blue Camera TB. SL.
Thanks again ~*KittyKat*~.

What Kylie said lol I did attempt the rock climbing at the park but didn't get far... Beautiful area I'd be happy to live here.

TFTC!

We arrived at GZ and geodaughter Hailie was like oooo a park !
instant win lol
So we got out the car walked Over and I couldn't help notice how beautiful the tree was as you walk in ! He's a big beauty
Also the grass is so green it's a beautiful lil park:)
Nice and shady with sun in certain spots !
So we ran over had a lil play and on the way out we went to seek a cache:)
Geodaughter Hailie did some rock climbing and had her cache in hand!
We signed log and I left a Tb
The roaring red racer
Thanks for the adventures today kat!
Well done on your caches

(We have one more to do )
(We ran out of time today )

I spotted this one rather quickly but even so, I got more than I bargained for. Just where do you get those log books from. Missive.

Thanks to ~*KittyKat*~ and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Cache found in the last place we looked, which was as usual not the first place we looked. I left my swaps in the Pahero and I did not have anything of equal value in my pockets. Thanks for the cache guys, we love your work.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

1st find in this series today.
A beautiful warm morning for a walk.
Took trackables to visit.
TFTC and Happy New Year.

This cache earnt a favourite from my kids just for the playground.
Again a spot deserving of a cache and it's of a decent size too.

Well done.

TFTC

A lovely warm summers afternoon for a walk through a local reserve and pick up a few caches. I wasn't too sure what to expect after reading the hint, but upon approaching GZ all became clear! Great cache with a little surprise inside! Thanks ~*KittyKat*~

After a busy day at the office, it was great to get out and do some caching on a perfect evening. We did this trail all random, only due to the place we decided to park

Beautiful bird life, we even saw a Tawny Frog Mouth, flew right in front of us, made no sound at all.

Thanks for the cache ~*KittyKat*~ )

What a beautiful place. It was the perfect night for a stroll tonight and a bonus to do some caches at the same time Big thanks for bringing us here ~*KittyKat*~

part of a lovely walk along the creek. A great little series. Cheers. MODU.

TFTC

Oh no.... a new cache and I can't leave work yet as I have return to the hospital to work with a family! Someone else gets the FTF Have fun for me.

Yay a FTF @ 5.26pm. A very quick drive with geomum (Gadanga) and ttrogg. A good looking trail by the looks of it. Gee some wealthy people live around here. Those homes are huge. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache KittyKat. )))) P.S. Had a quick chat to Hagrid who was close behind us. TFTC
Date corrected

Sad to say was in Hahndorf most of the day so was unable to locate your cache.
At least found your multi in Hahndorf .Hope to get out to this cache over the weekend.
cheers.

My phone app was playing up and started looking in all the wrong places. After the find along came dennisc52 and locus_cache. It was good to catch up with Dennis and to meet locus. Hope to see you guys soon. Thanks kitty.kat for the fun.

FTF with Don't Panic Arthur and gadanga at 1726
Heard the beep of a new E-mail then heard gadanga say to Don't Panic Arthur "Get in the car" so knew we were off to a possible FTF. Was nearby and arrived to a desserted GZ for a quick find.
Heard voices while signing log and only just managed to replace cache while gadanga and Don't Panic Arthur delayed Uncle Hagrid
Thanks for the cache ~*KittyKat*~

4th behind Dont panic Arther, TTrogg and Gadanga. I thought I may be in for a FTF but I was betten by 5 min.2 too meany red light. Still fun. TFTC ~*KittyKat*~

PS Please keep them coming at knock of time. Its nice to have a reason to rush out the door.

After a crazy day at work, I had been looking forward to a night of caching and this became even better when it turned out that a group caching trip was about to eventuate
I had picked up Dennisc52 and he said 'there's a new cache just near here, shall we go get it?'
So, naturally, we did go get it however as we approached GZ, there emerged a man from the bushes and he then attempted to convince us that the cache was about 30m away in the opposite direction
We had a great chat with Squizzie , managed to locus cache despite his trying to confuse us and then went our separate ways.
Nicely themed cache, I liked how the page, description and cache all tied in together [^]
SL. TFTC ~*KittyKat*~

Got an invite from locus cache early in the day to join her, and a small group (brisal5, mogni, muff1, CPwanderer and Aussie M & M), to cache hunt some mysteries around town. At least that was the intention. We met at Bridgewater, and finished up at Richmond at 2:00 in the morning, although I see by her logs that locus cache soldiered on till about four! Keen or what?
But before we got there, we did a detour to pick up a new cache near home, but by the time we got there, it had been found by a few people already, and one of them was still there. Nice to see you again Squizzie. TN, left a Casino key ring. TFTC KittyKat..
