Find and Sign Holden's Woodville AGAIN. Woodville, South Australia, Australia
By MalanDi on 19-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4K52B

It appears that there will be some changes here so I am taking it down.

It seems the GZ is in a fully fenced area.
Will be back next time.

Found CPWanderer, hevwalker and Clare007 after a morning event and on our way to a beach event in the evening.
Thanks MalanDi and hevwalker for the much needed cache maintenance

TFTC

Here with hevwalker & Phoenix flare.
We managed to find the stash & the swag but the cache had gone AWOL.
hevwalker completed some cache maintenance & the cache was good to go.
An interesting spot, thanks for the hide MalanDi

Came to this site with the expectation that we would be looking for a logbook only...no log book but did find the stash note in the bushes & some swag in the ashtray...
I had a spare mint tin & logbook in my car so have replaced the whole lot...some of the swag didn't fit so have moved that on to the next cache we found...
Thanks MalanDi for the original placement.

Sad to see this site derelict. As noted by previous finder there is log book only and no protection. TFTC

cache missing, only log book to find.

found after work and before the Halloween 2017 event. No cache to be seen, but found a log book in a plastic bag plus the swag is currently in the bin people are supposed to put smoke butts in. Left logbook under the smoke butt bin. Sorry all my spare containers are currently in shed with a coat of paint black drying on them.

Quickly found. Thanks MalanDi

found it with troyyugal only 2 more then my 200th find today is going to be the day

found with larayugal

Tftc Happy Easter !

Finally grabbed this one this morning on my "Port Assault Cache Grab" on Easter Sunday 16 April 2017. It's a pity this place closed. My whole family are Holden's thru and thru... me?, i'm just happy if the car is reliable and is good on fuel I arrived at GZ and knew pretty much where to look thanks to previous logs [^] Found in a spot where a grubby habit's wee things are disposed of, eeeew [B)] SL on a very quiet Sunday morning of 16/4/17 at 07:30. The cache and contents are all good and dry [^] TFTC MalanDi

TFTC. Found whilst collecting caches in the area

While heading out to visit a friend this was one of the caches that we targetted and were able to find. Thanks to MalanDi for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Found while waiting for my car to be fixed and waiting for a friend to go out for coffee with. I did not have a writing implement on me, so I left a ticket from the Fringe and an Irish Leap Metro Card. I live nearby, so I will go there again to write in the log for real. TFTC

I had trouble with the GPS on my phone getting a reading but eventually made the find. As a Holden fan it's sad to see this company closing down. TFTC

Took an alternate route home today and made a quick park and grab for this one to tick off another date required on our found date grid. TFTC

Good and easy cache, muggle may have spotted me but I'm sure were safe. Thanks team!

Another find for the FishPod and Team Ladybug. TFTC

Another quick find with team ladybug. Mozzie are bad. TFTC

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Cache for the day required and since Christmas have been doing a bit of a clean out of the NW suburbs. This one has been taunting me for a while now as I have driven past after getting cache for the day in other areas so today decided that this was the target. Skimmed through the logs and had some ideas.
Arrived near GZ and parked close by and after getting the bearings completely understood why GPS would not settle and bounced around all over the place. So put the GPS away and wandered to the area indicated on the maps and spotted the hide from a long way off. This is the first time I have interacted with this type of object and probably will not again unless there is a cache associated with it. Extracted log, signed, replaced and re-hid as found.
Have done a few Find and Sign caches and they are always good ones.
Gratias Pro Cache MalanDi

Finally ! Found on a day when I needed a find for my calendar. Read through the logs, after having a few night visits with no luck. This spot has certainly changed over time but all good with daylight saving on my side.

This is Holden week for the Spidermonkeys picking up our first 4wd to add to our collection of Holdens. Between us 5 toranas, 1 sandman panel van and our current commodore wagon and now the Colorado. It was raining toranas in the Barossa last weekend (by chance). Added a photo of a priceless one we saw. Thanks for the hide and subsequent smiley Malandi

Quick find, for Halloween. TNLNSL TFTC.

Found with pudgy, fungus and giggles. Thanks! Nice quick find.

Found while caching over in the western suburbs on a very nice spring afternoon.
Thanks for the cache MalanDi

Found with 2011*turtle. Problems with gps reading but found eventuality. TFTC

Found with vj1187. Took longer than it should have. Past logs helped. TFTC

Had a couple of hours to kill so what better way than to find a few caches.
GPSr was having a hissy fit and sending me all over the place, but eventually found in an obvious spot. [^]
Thanks for the cache MalanDi.

Found while workers were busy. TFTC

Easy find, was asked by someone what we were doing who is presumably involved with some development going on. Will write a separate note for CO

Someone stopped their car to come ask what we were doing. Seemed to understand what the geocache was all about and advised it shouldn't be on the property particularly because there is some building going on and there is asbestos. He asked if it could be moved off the site.. I.e closer to the road. You may want to consider moving and posting new coordinates until any developments are done. Thanks

Thanks for my first premium member find! Couldn't miss the opportunity when i finished work 200 m away!

Tftc - webbers

Out with the Erin

Out and about with normanville for a couple of quick finds. Thanks MalanDi.

Good hiding spot............................... Nasty habit to take up. Its going to make you sick, suffer from pain and eventually kill you. Give up now.............. Thanks MalanDi for the cache.

Quiet morning 4:45am so perfect time to find this one tftc

Found @ 1925.

Find 2320
Found it after the car was serviced in Hindmarsh and I had time to go caching in the Western Suburbs.
Sat in the naughty corner and thought about were I would hide a Reel Cache.
Thanks to MalanDi for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere

Raven was practicing marching for the Christmas Pageant, so Owl was able to do some caching in an area she doesn't normally get to. This one nearly eluded her as there were much more obvious options, but a quick check of past logs got the hide a closer look.

I had business at the nearby hardware store so took a stroll around the corner to grab this cache. Now I didn't expect to find it there! I'd looked over in that direction but dismissed it, but eventually had to take a look. And there it was! Thanks MalanDi

Easy peasy find. Contents are a little water logged and take your own writing stick. I didn't sign the log as I didn't take one with me

Out and about with a locus and a snake caching.
Decided to ignore the gps here as it would not settle.
Did the where would I hide it,
Found in a spot that was not expected. TFTC

SA SewerRats and Blackadders very generously delayed the start of their caching day so that I could join them, as I had a sick cat that needed the vet as well as a couple of medical apointments. Thanks guys

By day's end, I had 8 more finds and even wrote my name in a cache which I had previously found but this time, my name's in the 'old, original' log book

Finally I made it to this cache, after having been to the previous and now archived F&S Holden's.
GPS fluctuated a bit but SA SewerRats made a quick find of a very exposed container in an unusual spot.
We popped it back behind a moveable item, although that may not have been necessary.
Smoking is a dirty habit

TNLN. SL. TFTC MalanDi

Had doubts on this one as we walked up to GZ with the chairs, a obvious smokers corner, found safe and sound TFTC MalanDi

Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺

Mr Tardis parked close by and managed a muggle free search. Due to the proximity of the building, satellite lock was rather dodgy, so I checked a few likely places and found the cache after a couple of minutes searching.

Sadly we're at the end of an era of Australian car manufacturing.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache MalanDi.

Quickly found on break doing a security patrol of this area.
Signes away, TNLN. TFTC! ;!

quick find

No geckos today. TFTC

New comer found this one quite quickly too. Took care of the red back.

Found it really quickly !! Geo- boyfriend never think twice, he moves everything ijijiji and yep he found it again TFTC

A quick find today. Thanks MalanDi.

A quick stop, filling in time before picking up someone at the airport.

Great easy find TFTC

Beaut sunny Sunday so out to grab a few
TFTC MalanDi

Thanks for the cache MalanDi

In the first place I looked... for once.
TFTC. Find #426

cheeky hide. love it.

TFTC.

A quiet Saturday on the roads meant a lack of muggles sitting in their cars while waiting for the traffic lights to change
So I could wander around GZ unseen.

The cache also remained unseen [:o]
After 10 minutes I decided to look in a spot that I had been ignoring.
No way there was going to be a cache hidden there !!
But there was

TFTC

Hardest part was getting to when, when found and logged saw the easier access route *facepalm* tftc tnln wity Firey81

TFTC. Walked strait to it!

running bit late on the logging
we found this real quick in an better location

quick find as we wandered around the district

Tonight we head out with Honeysucker to grab a few caches, not a huge amount to log but a fun night was had by all, this time i get to sign the loga as the last one was behind them gates, a qucik find for us tonight.TFTC

With three caches in the vicinity, this was the only one I managed to score. Rather easy in the end, it was the getting there that felt difficult.

Found on the way home after doing some gardening at my mums.

Easy find.

TFTC

Founda while back with schnail tftc

Had to ask ourselves why would that be there
Then it became obvious
Nice easy find
Took TBs for a look
tftc

Found on a hot days caching.
Took trackabes to visit.
TFTC

Perfect spot for a search out of sight of prying eyes and passers by. Thanks for the cache MalanDi!

I own a Holden and a Ford - just lucky I guess SL Thanks from PG

Missed the original, but we found this one.
TNLNSL
Thanks

3am on the way back from a Tug Boat Fire is a perfect time for this one with no one around.

Surely it isnt under there but it was. TFTC.

Quickly located as we headed towards the Port! Thanks MalanDi for the hide!!

With a spare 24 hours in Adelaide I grabbed a hire car and went caching. What else was I to do!

Another quick find.

Cheers

Quick find. Felt a bit trespassy. Tftc

Found it easily. Nice hide.

Thanks MalanDi for the cache

Had to explain to a security guy about caching lol tftc

Found It!
Quick find. That's about all I can say since sadly, this cache is PM only
TFTC anyway

Good to have a nice and easy find sometimes. TNLN TFTC

Saw the original cache come & go, and wasn't really surprise it had to be replaced.
Actually worked inside this building about 35 years ago !
A quick find in a very dodgy looking hiding place. TNLNSL.
Thanks again MalanDi.

Nice hide - TFTC

Long ago in 1977 I visited the Woodville site for a metallurgical tour when GMH was still making stuff there. Engines, gearboxes and roofs. Remember manual gearboxes. Cars used to have manual gearboxes. Your left foot is there for a reason.

I have to confess that I have never ever owned a GMH product. Go Valiant.

TFTC - This cache is a definite drive by

Thanks for all the info on the Holden - Woodville facility

It must've been an omen at Baby Bottle, but after logging that and heading back to the car to continue on caching an old EH Holden drove past
Parked closeby and then a short stroll to GZ and a nice quick find - and at 10pm no chance of being sprung by muggles whilst signing.
Returned cache, and headed back to my Mitsubishi to head home
TNLN, TFTC MalanDi

Cheers

Quickly found. Thanks for the cache.

We were bored on a Saturday night so Darknstormy and i decided to go out for a drive to find a couple new caches Pitty we missed out on the original cache but still happy to have a smiley for this one Thanks MalanDi

Wasn't quick enough to get to the original one of these, so we decided tonight was a good time to tick it off...

and being a Holden fan. this one needs a smiley on the map


Thanks for the cache MalanDi

Nice bit of local history. Tftc.

A quick find. Fingers xed for Holdens. Smokin!

Clear skies and thanks to MalanDi from TeamAstro.

Quickly found. Thanks for the relocation!
