The Last Cab Ride Salisbury East, South Australia, Australia
By ~*KittyKat*~ on 08-May-13. Waypoint GC4923E

Found the first 3 points eons ago, but for whatever reason I didn't wander the the last bit to GZ.
Had a hunch that the cache maybe still at GZ, so wandered down this morning for a look, stopping at the penultimate point to check coordinates for GZ...
A nice spot. Spotted the cache easily, it appears to have been found by a few weed killer muggles recently.
Thanks for the walk.

Archived? That's a shame. One day after I found WP2. I didn't have time to do this multi and was planning to come back another day. Guess I let this chance slip by.

Archiving.

Bonza! An unloved cache for over a year. Been meaning to do this one for quite a while now as it's pretty close to home. And I'm glad I did. Great multi that does not take too long. Easy instructions, spot on coords and a big cache at GZ. TFTC!

What better way to finish off the day, and the week, than going for a walk though Cobbler Creek :c) Started off with this awesome little multi before continuing further into the park to grab a few traditional. WP2 was a little surprise and some nice swag in the final. TNLNSL. TFTC!!

After strolling around the park, we climbed up to here and continued on with this nice little multi. Heading off to WP2, Mrs TiedyeSmileys said something along the lines of 'are you sure, this is in the middle of nowehere. Nice little find that. After following the points around, we arrived and GZ and made the find.
The last 2 logs in the cache were from around 23 Oct last year by a couple of people who found the cache while working in the area (spraying artichokes one said!).

Out on a beautiful day to grab some caches. WOW! . What a thought provoking cache. What a fantastic story – we take so much of our lives for granted without thinking of how little gestures can have such a big impact on other people.... Oh, yeah – the cache! Sat at WP1 and gathered the required information. Stood up to leave and was nearly bowled over by a high speed mountain bike! Nasty thoughts jumped into my head, until I remembered the Zen moment I was supposed to be enjoying. . I was very surprised at WP2 – fancy finding that out here in the middle of nowhere! On to WP3 and found the lovely yellow taxi. Arriving at the final WP, I thought I’d been muggled out! There must have been a dozen TAFE students doing a survey exercise all over the place. I made out to be interested in the ruins (which I was) and nobody seemed to take much notice of me. I casually slipped away to find the cache and was relieved (after all that walking!) to find the cache some distance away down the hill. A fantastic size and well stocked cache was found. TNLN SL Thanks for the thought provoking adventure and the cache. Has to be a favourite point here. [^]. Well done!

In the area for a new traditional and finally managed to get a smilie for this one as well.
Thanks for the cache ~*KittyKat*~

This multi is filled with potent words and lovely native vegetation. I have never explored this most of these bike tracks, and geodog and I had a lovely Sunday walk through here. I am not always the best at staying in touch with people so was reflecting on this - it is so difficult to find balance these days in our busy lives. Thanks for the cache and the thought involved in it.

After completing 'The Horrors of Cobbler Creek' I still had some time left before heading to work.
Could I do another Multi in under 40minutes? I set off & started gathering the clues.
Nice little stroll through the scrub. Weather was pefect today .
Found the taxi & headed for the final. What a beauty!
Great views along here. All up only took me 25 minutes [^].

Thanks KittyKat. Lots of fun.
Find #624

ANZAC Day
After Dawn Service at One Tree Hill felt like going for a bit of a Walk.
So headed out to Cobblers Creek and hit the trail to do some of the caches out here that have been sitting on GSAK ready for finding way too long.
A loveley walk started over by Bridge road and worked my way across.
Even passed a bloke selling fruit and bought some Manderines to munch on along the way
I had a great time striding along in the old hiking boots.
This is the sort of caching I love.
One of the many trails I followed today

great day out. tftc tsls sl

This is my first multi cache, realy enjoyed the story and a great way to see the park. tftc KittyKat

This was our first for the day and it's always good to start with a find .
The wind was blowing big-time , but the waypoints were figured out and we made our way along the path time and again, until we reached GZ .
Happy this didn't take us too far down the hill - a nice round trip .
TNLNSL.
Thanks ~*KittyKat*~.

Nice cab ride around Cobbler Creek in the sun.

I walked and I drove and I walked again. There was no cab ride.

My most memorable cab ride was 600km from the Red Sea to Cairo. A nine hour ride. Total cost U$15. Seven of us in an old Peugeot and the luggage on the roof.

What a nice little adventure, even with all the backtracking and circle work - I'm sure I've seen that chair before..... Enjoyed the cab ride at the end too. Really well done. It was great to be able to walk around, take in the scenery, and forget about life for a while. Lucky came to visit. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Decided it was time for us to get this one ticked off.. been sitting on the GPS since no one had found it... We got lost a few times as I was trying to be smart and cut corners... Our feet were a little damp from the last cache but now they are sloshing....

While we were here we decided to take a detour and look at the ruins that they have restored her.. and LOW life taggers have left their mark.. Discraceful!!. That SH!@ angers me so much.. I never dared do anything like that when i was a kid..

Anyway thanks ~*KittyKat*~ for the walk and the cache :0)

I must get the Mtn Bike here and have a burn these track look like fun

Favorite point for the size of the cache.. and the hidden memorial stone - How the hell did you find that??

Darknstormy and myself decided to head out and cross of this multi before the rain fell today It was a bit wet and muddy but we are the twits that decided to head out after rain We made a slight detour to look at the ruins and then got back on track again to find the cache
Thanks for the Multi KittyKat

I really enjoyed the story and it's so true...the smallest gesture can sometimes make a world of difference to someone. Had a pleasant stroll around Cobbler Creek, sometimes feeling I was going in circles (actually, I know I was!) and sheltering from a torrential shower (glad for the emergency poncho!). A great cache all up, thanks ~*KittyKat*~, I do believe I'll give it a fave!

The namesake of our team had braces put on today, and not being able to eat we decided to do this cache instead. By the time we finished it was getting dark, but it was a beautiful (and chilly!) walk. Another great cache from ~*KittyKat*~ TNLNSL TFTC

Beautiful day, and having returned geoson to his mother after his soccer carnival weekend, I took the geowife & geopup out to Cobblers Creek to finally complete this multi. Having taken a 20 minute detour after getting the first numbers, we couldn't find the sign at WP2, so checked the numbers again, and all was fine. So we took a different route and found the old mate.

We had a few close calls by some bikelists, but made it to the log for signing! TFTC KittyKat, and I got a 3rd! I'll be sure to return with trackables at some stage, with a massive stash too.

I'm favouriting this one too!

I strongly suggest going to the link regarding The Last Cab Ride and reading it!

Woohoo!! FTF!!
If anyone thinks there is any nepotism at all involved in my getting FTF on this cache on Mother's Day... then listen to this story!
After a great day out, attending two events and then spending the evening and night caching with Honeysuckers, I decided to try my luck on this multi.
Bear in mind, that the only info I had previously obtained from CO was that it should take about half an hour to do.
I had asked this in the morning and as a result, decided I did not have time to do this cache then!
On my way home tonight, there was still no found log and so I thought... it's not raining that much, a nice half hour walk and maybe start Mother's Day with a FTF! This all sounded good to me and so at midnight I pulled up at the parking coords.
I found WP1 easily, gathered the information and then headed for WP2
I found WP2 easily, gathered the information and then headed for WP3
I found.... hang on, nothing here at WP3. [?]
I looked and looked and meanwhile the rain kept falling. Then my torch went flat: bugga, immediate darkness!
400m odd back to the car to get the spare batteries and back up torch.
Got these and then back to WP3.
I searched and searched in a 60m radius of where I had WP3. Nothing! Well, apart from a rabbit and an owl
Lots of trees, stumps, rocks and slippery slopes (I was still in slip on sandals).
Meanwhile the rain kept falling!
Eventually, after almost 1 1/2 hours of hunting and in sheer desperation, I sms'd CO.
She answered
Yes, my coords were right and the cache should be there but I looked again and still no cache.
Another sms and this time, I got the news that a digit had swapped itself around somehow when being entered (by CO) and that the actual coords were ..........
I finally had WP3 in my hands within 2 minutes of getting the right coords! [^]
So now onwards towards GZ! [^] Past another rabbit and a nice sized moth

A very quick locus cache of a decent sized cache with a virgin logbook at 1.53am! Happy Mother's Day to me
Finally a wet, and starting to get cold, locus cache could head back to the car after almost 2 hours of enjoying the area

This is a scenic multi with (at times) awesome views across valleys and, at night, of the city lights. [^]
Great for kids as the 3 star terrain was nowhere near as hard as I thought it may be!
You are on decent, wide tracks with natural bush area on either side, for virtually the whole way (I only had slippery slopes due to incorrect coords for WP3) and the hills are gentle, too

Lovely walk in the park on a Sunday! I love this park, and was so disappointed to see the graffiti on the ruins!

Took nothing, left some TBs to move on.
