Shady Gum Flagstaff Hill, South Australia, Australia
By stanleys on 08-Feb-13. Waypoint GC45K90

The cache has been replaced again today as it was missing. It is now a 300ml vitamin bottle wrapped in blue tape. Please ensure it is covered fully, thank you.

Adelaide Leap Day trip. Day 3. For my first day in Adelaide it was a family day. We had a great lunch in town before heading home for an afternoon siesta. I managed to get moving again and headed to a nearby area at Craigieburn park to try for a few caches. I missed two of the nones I tried, but I enjoyed the climb on the treehouse.This was another one I failed to locate, but maybe I just missed it. Thanks.Albida

TFTC! Great hide! Great views.

Very quick find. Thanks for the PT

Walking the stress away with a few caches.
Quick find. Lovely view!

Monday nights after work are one of the few opportunities to cache, so here I am this evening out in Craigburn Farm exploring the area
A quick find, sign and here here tonight
TFTC

Checked on this one today and had to replace the container as original has gone missing.

I saw the start of the walk here when I was visiting the area recently. I decided to come back today and walk along and find some caches along the way. I did know some rain was on the way, but I managed to finish caching before the rain came through. It was a bit of a soggy walk though. Took me a bit of time to find this one but got there in the end. TFTC stanleys

I have been meaning to come and find this little series of caches for quite a while and decided that today would be a nice day for a walk although it ended up being quite warm so I only found 5 of the 6 with the first one to be found on another day. [^]

A quick find here but not where I was expecting it to be. The log was wet but I was able to stamp it. Hopefully the warm weather will dry it out.

Thanks for the cache Team_Crumble.

Nice walk along here. TFTC

Quick find on a cool but sunny afternoon. TFTC

Thanks for the cache Stanley’s. Nice location path and views.

Found while on the hunt for smilies in the Coromandel Valley area.
Thanks Team_Crumble for the cache

Great location with all of the native bird’s around. SLTFTH

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February.
Then came Covid-19 and now caching will have to take a back seat or be socially responsible.
No more than one or two people and target caches that haven't been visited in some time.

So today it was just Anymules and me going for long walks in Sturt Gorge and surrounds getting caches nobody has visited for a while. Time for our third walk for the day. Fifth stop. One more stop after this and we can walk back to the car. [^] yet another quick find was made - this time by me for a change.

***Thanks Team_Crumble for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A nice easy find while having a nice walk along the trail.

Thanks for the cache Team_Crumble.

Pleasant walk with grandchildren

Last cache for the day just as the rain came in. Now to make it back to the car. TFTC.

A quick find during this glorious day in September with geodog.
Thanks stanleys

Quickly found. Tftc

A quick walk around the local area where I have staying for the past few days. Made the nice walk along this trail to collect a few caches.
Not sure about the hint but the cache was quickly found and is all good
TFTC

Found nice spot
Thanks

Found it. TFTC.

Beat Natb7 to it, TFTC

We came up to this cache from below so enjoyed the new trail that is very easy to walk on. We did do little cross country to avoid the zig zag but had no difficulty even in the wet.

Good coordinates led us to a quick find of a well hidden cache container which was in good condition.

Thanks for this cache stanleys. This is certainly a beautiful old gum tree and a well constructed walking track.

On a nice winter's day, jesswrigley and I decided to do some mountain biking around Craigburn Farm, whilst collecting a few geocaches. Although we had the weather on our side, it turned out that a mountain bike club was holding a race event, and limited the paths that we could travel. So we had to adjust our plans a little, and ended up doing a full loop around the river, which was a bit longer than my original thinking. All up, a nice 15 geocaches found. Was good to have had a nice feast following the exercise in the middle of the day.

Not sure about the hint with this one, but made a quick find at a nice shady gum tree with nice views. Logbook and contents still good. Thanks for the hide and ongoing maintenance stanleys and Team_Crumble.

Easy find in good condition. TFTC

Today was a day I set aside for collecting multi caches. I had identified 12 to tackle. I ended up with 8 found and several I did not attempt.
It was a day of epic frustrations. The Cachly app absolutely did my head in, I hate the new version and wish I still had the old one, but I guess I will just have to get used to it.
I also had a lot of frustration with the multis I did. So many ambiguious questions, it was hard to know reading the description what the COs were thinking with their questions. If only it were a requirement for all so called simple multis to have a simple check sum (not a checker) so you there is less chance of ending up at a calculated GZ to find that you have misinterpreted what the CO needed you to do and then having to back track, sometimes over and over again. Back and forth to plaques and signs.....
I think there were only 3 out of the 8 I did that I thought were straight forward and not ambiguous. There was also issues with missing information at some of the multis and of course my own frustrations of not being able to find caches, but all attempted were eventually located. Parking issues also meant that I didn't attempt a couple on my list and another I arrived at to find it involved climbing on play equipment, today was not a sensible day for that.
I also ended up collecting a few others to make the numbers to the double digits for the day. I also had 2 dnfs on regular caches.
Not my best day caching but at least there are another 8 multis added to the tally and a little closer to my target for the year. Whilst this log is full of moaning I do appreciate all of the hides I found today and the efforts of the COs. Hoping to get to 31 multis for the month, still a long way to go.
I added this trad to my list after not attempting the multi nearby, needed to make the drive here worthwhile. Nice quick find, not sure it is where it used to be but still nicely hidden. This area will change massively soon they are marking out the land nearby for housing.TFTC

This one was out in the open, not sure where it should have been so left it at the base of the cache title & gave it some stickoflage.----SL-----TNLN-----TFTC

Out with a Dork and a Walrus,

but it was pretty obvious when we arrived!
TFTC stanleys

Out for another Tuesday night caching run with Moneydork, this time joined by the always smiling Mattycat. With a new linear walk trail published, we headed down south, and managed to take care of a few old nemisis caches as well.

Another find on our night time hike, as we delved further into the scrubland west of Coro Valley. It was a great night for it and we thoroughly enjoyed the caches we found.

This was find number 9 of 13 for the day for me. TFTC stanleys!

Beautiful afternoon for a walk.

New cache in place. Watch out for European wasp nest on other side of the track just near the blackberry bushes. We will report it.

Went for a walk today and was passing so thought we would check on the cache. Well, we would have if it was there. Has been muggled. Will replace soon.

Have come across a couple of snakes along this track very recently. Today with the thunder and rain not a snake in sight. TFTC

Thanks

Found early, before the heat set in on a very hot day. At least the tree provided a bit of shade, even if just for a few minutes. Thanks for the cache stanleys!

Stopped on way home from Blackwood experimentatal orchard to check out these few.. nice quick find.. TFTC..
Dropped off tb..

I finished my walk on the other side of the river earlier than I thought I would so what better way to fill in a Sunday morning than a walk around the hills.

This cache was easily found.

I've dropped a TB to continue travels in fresh hands.

Thanks for the walk and the cache stanleys.

My first walk along the new trail but not my first walk around the lake.
Thanks Stanleys for the hunt along the way.

A lovely area for a walk on a sunny winter's day. Thanks, Stanleys

Hitting the Craigburn shared trail park, haven't seen anyone yet.
The birds are out & so is the sun. An easy find on my trek along the trail.
Cheers stanleys

Returned to the trail to continue the series. A lovely walk. Thanks stanleys.

Found the cache very quickly and enjoyed a walk through the nice park. Great views.

Thanks stanleys for the cache

2nd find on our walk in the early morning sunrise - left a pathtag - lovely tree too - Thanks from PG x

Went for a stroll along this new(ish) walkway, after a delightful lunch with the COs, and who accompanied us to make sure we didn’t get lost .
This one slapped me in the face as I was admiring the views. Quick find ‘n’ sign and off to the next one

A quick find on this picturesque new walking trail.
Thanks stanleys for the cache!

Mr Tardis went for a nice Sunday afternoon walk along this great new track. If not for this series of caches I wouldn't have known this nice trail existed.

I stopped here for some shade - and a cache. I said hello top the little spider guarding the cache.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache stanleys.

No sign of Tardis yet. Still muggles to contend with though (and these ones seem a little more interested in what we are up to). One big tree though!! TFTC stanleys.

Nice shade a warm day and a cache as well.

We let the dog walking muggles disappear in to the distance. We never saw them again after this point.

Thanks to stanleys and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Cache found in the first place we looked, which is always a good thing. Nice views. Thanks for the cache guys.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

A nice quick find while out discovering the new trails in the area. TFTC.

Forget the footy, the cricket and the giggle box and go and follow this trail. The fresh air and exercise is really good for you and you may even find 7 caches. From the car park to the most distant cache Lakeview Log took about an hour and quarter finding all the caches along the way and then about 35 minutes to walk back. The views are splendid and no doubt there will be more caches placed further along the trail to Blackwood Park.
All caches are easily accessible from the hard metal rolled pathway. Coords are great and clues/hints very helpful.
A welcome bit of shade, the hardest part of the trail is now over.
Thanks to the stanleys for the caches
