Unable to find the cache. Possibly muggled by the neighbours who have full view of GZ and probably wonder why people stop here.

No luck for us today. Searched for 10 minutes and then searched a little more. Thanks for bringing us here regardless.

No luck here thanks

Looks like it’s missing.

Methinks it’s muggled.

I never have much luck with these caches.

Thanks for the cache. Container has seen better days but the new log sheet is in great shape. Nice spot, signing a few SFE today

A quick find while chiseling away at the SFE series. The new log placed by Bluewrentit was appreciated - the rest of the contents are a bit dire. Awesome gum! Thanks for getting me to stop here.

Very boggy roadside to the south saw me go do a u-turn and park on the side of the road the cache is hidden on.
Upon discovery of the cache i noticed it wasn't 'hidden' at all but out in the open [:o]
The container is cracked and had water in it. The was no log in the cache so i replaced it with a nice long strip of strong paper then into a plastic bag with moisture-munchers inside to keep it dry [^]

Signed the new log at 12:24 on Thursday 20 August 2020 and re-hid in the best possible spot i could find and placed a red brick next to it [wee hint there]

Thankyou!! Braved the cold for this one

A beautiful winters day hiking the top of Morialta and surrounds with @jesswrigley. Blue skies on a nice sunny day meant we targeted a few adventurous caches with some requiring the ladder TOTT, and then visited the Yurrebilla trail to collect a few SFE caches.

Probably one of the quickest finds for jesswrigley and I today. All in good shape, thanks BlueBeardOz.

TFTC BlueBeardOz. Not picnic weather today but happy to make the find

After finishing Uni for the afternoon and needing a few finds for the day, I decided to head out and pick up a few of the SFE Challenges. Some were qualified for, some were not, but those will be ‘Found’ later. Despite the grey clouds overhead it was still an enjoyable afternoon, with all caches found in good condition.

TFTC

A nice drive by on the way to the SFE series. Cache is all good.

After arriving back in Adelaide after a week and a half holiday in Tasmania visiting family and friends, I decided since today’s weather was so good that I would go on an adventure up into the hills for some caching.  I was confronted by some Asians whilst searching for a cache asking how far it was to lake bumbunga, little did they know it was 2 hours drive from our current location, some how there GPS said it was 2 mins but I did know of any lake or a pink lake for that matter that was at Norton Summit. Overall a nice day collecting some zythern unloved puzzles along woth some of the SFE series.
Thanks to all the COs for their cache placement.

Quick grab on the way past. TFTC.

Found as we were driving past with Wikkid76. TFTC

While out searching for Challenge caches we stopped off to search for this one too, which we soon found once at Ground Zero. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Found it and signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hide

There was no trouble finding this container - in fact you could say it was a real picnic. Our name, along with that of ilook4geo, was added to the log page. All was good with the container and contents, which was put back in its place before we moved on. Our thanks go to BlueBeardOz for putting this cache into play.

This cache was easily found as it was almost looking out of its hiding place. Cache log was signed by goingplaces2 as well. All was replaced as found when finished. TFTC.

These areas of the hills are well hidden away from the usual tourist routes
So it was a delight to find this cache along a quiet back road between Norton Summit and Cherryville this morning.

All good here !!

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

Quick and easy cache find. Picnic area not so easy.... Was there one here?

Quick and eady find. On our trip to Adelaide thanks for the cache BlueBeardOz
With Zedaycee

After locating the SFE series nearby it was time to grab some easier ones. This fitted the bill, we all like a quick, easy find. All good and covered with extra camo, it's a bit exposed here.

TFTC BlueBeardOz

Completing the nearby SFE challenge caches & stopped to grab this one too.
A nice, quick find on a lovely Autumn day.
Thanks for the cache BlueBeardOz

An adventurous afternoon with Mrs 3LG & clare007...
A nice quick drive by...a bit different to most of the other challenging ones found today...
TFTC BlueBeardOz

Found at 11:16 AM GAFF1.
Nice to have a drive by amongst all of these tough caches. Lovely country around here after our recent trip to the Yorke Peninsula.
Thanks BlueBeardOz.
Feedback: Interesting that the reviewer allowed you to advertise the local winery! That is a no no according to th guidelines.

Found on a day out with FeatherWaite and Bob From Elsewhere on a pleasant walk and drive through the area.

Thanks BlueBeardOz for the cache.

Find 2701
Found by the 3 Likely Lads e.gregory1, FeatherWaite and BFE on another big public holiday day out.

Thanks to BlueBeardOz for the cache.

Found this cache today whilst out collecting SFE caches. We still have a lot of caches to do up here. TFTC

Greetings from Brisbane . A weekend trip to Adelaide and surrounds was planned to see the sights and find some of the interesting, rarer and older geocaches you have hidden here.

Day 3: Another early start with a winding dawn drive up to the hills. After tackling half the SFE challenge series a mechanical issue interrupted proceedings before the search resumed and the remainder was found accompanied by Brad&Janet and an eager Ruff_Ruff. Next was a search for Owl Mail, before returning to the airport and heading home.

Nice rural spot here, made for a quick earlt morning find while the locals slept in.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache **BlueBeardOz**. Discover our TB

A call went out earlier in the week asking who was interested in tackling a few SFE challenge caches. This morning a motley crew of an owl, a rat and a fish gathered for the expedition, setting off after a fortifying themselves with hot cross buns.

An easy find on the way home after visiting some SFE challenge caches.

Thanks for the cache BlueBeardOz.

It was a day of tidying up SFE challenges.
This was one I had on my list to find.
I was allowed to stop. the fish made the find. Tftc

Was driving past and hear,"Oh, there's a cache just behind us". Great quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here.

Quick easy driveby.
Thankyou BlueBeardOz for placing this cache here for us to find.

Cache in open so we re hid it suitablySL:TFTC

A great day to be out and about! Nice spot, thanks for bringing me here!!

Out for the day with Rod81w visiting some of the SFE Challenge caches. [^] Had fun driving through this part of the hills with some great dirt roads.

We stopped here to get this one as we drove past. No time for a picnic today though. It really is a cool spot.

Thanks for the cache BlueBeardOz.

Out for a day with JJ52 heading out to do the SFE series trail.
Stopped of here as it was along our route.

Find # 2643

Think we are following another cacher. Pretty spot and an easy find. TFTC

The nicpickers were gone. The bark on the cache was present. A peaceful find and a spot to inhale.

Thanks to BlueBeardOz and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Today our geocaching mission was to finish a couple of multi’s we had started previously. Your cache was found along the way. An easy find at GZ.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

A nice easy get with Goodlook on a lovely afternoon's caching up here. We stopped for a few trads before tackling puzzles further along
Cheers

After another fab pub lunch in the city, the fantastic feathertop and I went caching what lovely locations we visited, and what a great time we had together.

Our team name for the day was "fabulous randoms" and that is how the log books have been stamped.

Thanks so much for the cache BlueBeardOz!

Out once again with Moneydork, Mattycat and this time joined by one half of Team Froghoppin for the usual Tuesday night caching run, held on a Wednesday! Tonight was a hills run, taking on some of the older nemisis trads and the spate of new challenge caches that have appeared up this way.

The second in this series tonight, and a great spot it is!

This was find number 6 of 12 for the day for me. TFTC BlueBeardOz!

A lovely spot TFTC

A nice easy park and grab in the dark.

Thanks for the cache BlueBeardOz. Found on 11 Oct 2017 at 9:58 pm. Find #5214.

Spotted this from afar. Spot on coordinates. Spot the ball. Spot the dog.

Thanks for the cache, BlueBeardOz

Did some hiking in Morialta and drove past this way. Haven't been down this far on Colonial Road. Well worth the detour. Thanks BlueBeardOz

slowly completing this series

Found by The Boofs TFTC .

Found it (:

Cache was fairly easy to find.
Not so sure about picnics here but nearby establishments may cater for you
TFTC BlueBeardOz

Quick one
Thanks

U bute location

Found out with Muggle Hubby out on Sunday drive. TFTC LNSL Took TB

Found it under guidance of Dr Owl. Thanks.

Been past this spot quite a few times, but today it was to hunt down the Cache! Found quickly on a gorgeous sunny day. Nearby horse watched us as we got to signing and replacing the cache. No picnic today but we did have a fantastic drive. Cache in good condition for the next person. TFTC took nothing, left TB.
Happy Caching,
Jacqui&Steve +2

After a DNF down the road and nothing in sight here Owl was concerned about her caching mojo. However a close look discovered a naturally cammoed cache and success! Nice spot.

TFTC I was heading to a wedding at Sinclair winery and was early so thought I'd stop and get this one

Out driving in the hills today with a dual mission, firstly to finish off the LOTR traditionals and then to push back my unfound traditional circle a little bit. And anything else that seems like a good idea.
Walked straight up to it as it was exposed. Hid as best I could but a decent wind would probably see it exposed again. Hope it lasts, but fear it wont due to nearby location.
Thanks for the cache BlueBeardOz

Certainly been past here a few times before - didn't realise this was public land and definitely a nice picnic spot .
PIty about the construction next door . TNLNSL.
Thanks BlueBeardOz

Found it with a friend of mine

Quick and easy find. Lots if good swaps for the geokids. Thanks for the cache.

#966

got it

This one might not be a great picnic spot soon by the looks of the construction site happening just the other side of the fence. TFTC BlueBeardOz

Found it didn't take too long.. Nice little spot.

Found it

Took a couple of tries to find but it was fun

think about the hint

Well the hike was quite a bit less then 10Km, closer to 10m from where I stopped the car.

A very easy hide. I would suggest hiding it a bit better because we saw a few people around this area and I do not want it to be muggled. Great day to be caching with silverfoxed and the Hylys.

Another great place in the hills and also seeing a young girl riding her horse. TFTC

A good spot to administer first aid. Cache was exposed so ensured it was well covered before we left. TFTC.

Easy find while playing amateur radio in the hills. TFTC!

Found before a Heysen Trail hike. Pleasant area beside flowing creek. Easy find in an open obvious place. TFTC.

Found It!
Another one found and logged,
TFTC and the hunts

Beautiful spot and yes a family were picnicking right next to GZ!
A dash and grab.
TFTC BlueBeardOz

Beautiful location.
Found this one on the way back down the hill.
Stopped here and had our lunch!

TFTC

Oh, look, a cache I "can" find today!
Stopped by quickly after a slight (Massive) detour to check on a waypoint for a multi I've been working on for a while, and a quick bite of lunch in the top end of Morialta!

Thanks for the stop off on the detour BluebeardOZ!

After spending half the day hiking in Cleland it was nice to stop and find a driveby to stretch our sore legs nice hide TFTC

Found It!
Quick find after our Morialta walk. Too cold for a picnic today...
TFTC

We decided before arriving to have our lunch at this spot. Strangely enough, we were unsure if it was public land and there were no tables, not deterred we used the boot of brisal5's car as a table and got a wave from a friendly local. No problems doing this cache....lol just have a picnic on the boot. TFTC.

Day 7 in a row for 31 days of caching in August. Luckily I have this week off to drop the geodaughter at a course..which = all day caching. Joined by Mrs. M from Aussie M&M for todays frivolities.

Mrs. M quickly found the cache. We signed the log and actually did stop to have a mini picnic and eat lunch. Thanks BlueBeardOz.

Mr Tardis made a quick detour here on the way to work. Very cold, wet and windy today, not a good day for a picnic, but a good day to find a cache.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache BlueBeardOz.

Found after dark with Hailz after completing Even More Yurrebilla. No picnic tonight! TFTC BlueBeardOz.

I like these caches. Still some to complete. TFTC

Interesting valley. Thanks BlueBeardOz.

I'm afraid I didn't have time for a picnic to-day as my wife needed picking up from her rehearsal. Still, enjoyed the location after a 17km hike around the area. Thanks BlueBeardOz

Have driven and run within metres of this cache on more occasions than I care to remember in recent years. Almost stopped on it today, turned on the GPSr to find 7m. Near enough! TFTC BBOz.

A quick find on a very roudabout trip into Adelaide. Thanks BluebeardOz for the hide!!

Picked up on a wet and windy night with the geokids. TFTC

I slipped away from work at lunch time to have a picnic in the hills. There were quite a few goats standing on the sides of the road and some wandering across the road close to gz. They had escaped from a nearby farm, so the farmer had some rounding up to do when he made the discovery. Think for the lunch time outing.

Many thanks to BlueBeardOz,
This was our 10 of 21 for todays cache hunt, Find number 1591 at 12:15:00 PM
We are out and about grabbing a couple of caches whilst trialing the new camper, what better way than with a weekend away.


A nice easy drive by in a beautiful setting.
