Didnt find it! No luck for us today. TFTC!

Could not find today, this one got the better of me

Thanks for my first find!

Nice

Thanks for my first find!

First find woo hoo

I found it

Yay, I can resolve this DNF! First I searched the poor wattle tree whos seen better days, before my GPS did a little readjust and revealed to me the actual location. I liked the two rocks, that threw me off! Thank you Spice Girls and all COs for placing and maintaining caches!

Found it

Cache was replaced yesterday by some of the Spice Girls team and is all spicy and ready to be found again.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.I noticed that this cache has been unavailable for an extended period of time without maintenance occuring as set out in the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a reviewer note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days detailing when it will be replaced, so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a reviewer note every month (28 Days) to keep everyone up to date.If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice

Couldnt find it this time we will try again later

DNF after 10min search

Missing;(

DNF

Im pretty new to this so might be blind but searched for a while and couldnt see anything

Couple of broken branches noted at GZ. Maybe vandalised.?

Nice. Thanks

Our very first find!

This morning, I went to Morphett Vale for work, and I tried some caches on the way.Found 1 multi cache, 2 adventure lab caches, and 5 traditional caches. Also has 2 DNF.This was the fourth cache I found today.It was an easy find. Signed the log, and placed it back.Thanks for the cache, The Spice Girls.----**South Australia will host a Leap Day Mega Event on 29th February 2024. GCA1DNA: The Great Leap Forward. Count down: 49 days.**

Thanks

Easy find

Yay

The wattle is flowering again. (So go and find it.)

Not there

There were two different trees it could have been in, but sadly I couldn’t find it in either.

Easy

Today I treated myself to some caching time, heading down south for a few smileys. This cache was one of them. Cache found and in good condition.

I came by here today to rectify a previous DNF. The cache was present today, exposed, but nothing much can be done about that.

Thanks for the hide The Spice Girls. Find #7913 at 4.44pm

This was my last destination before I turned around and headed back towards my car. It didn't take long before I was added my name to the log. I then realised that I missed the clue, so I had to head back and obtain that information as well in the off chance that I do need it in the future! TFTC The Spice Girls

Thanks

After a brunch event in Prospect and visiting family in the northeastern suburbs, I’ve headed south to Onkaparinga, where I still have many hides to find. This is one of ten caches found down that way today.

I’ve never thought of wattle as a foodstuff or flavouring. Happy to find a-cache-a-hiding at GZ. See what I did there? Thanks once again Spice Girls.

Quick easy find after an event nearby

New cache placed at a different tree. New coordinates: S 35° 07.602 E 138° 31.798.

Disabled for maintenance following logs.

Gone

Wattle was moved to a fallen tree. Will be checked next week but it looks like cachers are searching in the wrong place.

Could not find, tree chopped down.

Neighbours say used to be in tree that council has removed

No trees ?

I was looking in the dark, so the outcome is not guaranteed of the cache condition. Having said that, the original tree is gone, the replacement tree is gone, the wooden log is a rotting mess, and after being recently mowed, its surprising there is anything left here.

I will return another day, in the daylight. Thanks for the challenge.

Was looking in wrong place at first but overall easy find #1

Was looking in the wrong place at first but easy find #1

Had a free moment after dropping off a friend so I swung by a for a quick cache.

Cache was quickly located, but the container had been crushed and retrieving the log book took some time.

I managed to get the container (mostly) back to its original shape and with the help of tweezers I got the log out.

Stamped the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Thanks WATBAC for this cache.

Thanks heaps guys!

Super easy

️

Went down south for a change of scenery. Found your cache along the way!

No wattle. And the replacement tree seems to have met its maker (burning bush of biblical proportions!!!) But a cachey thing was located under an old log, maybe part of the bush, nearby!

Heaps of thanks to WATBAC for placing and maintaining this spicy cache on our SA geo game map

Searching each and every day finding and signing cache logs alone or with family and friends using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck Plenty of that luck stuff actually!!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

Caching is a hazardous activity!
Keep a lookout for sand traps, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for any old bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now everything's opening more - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Really good of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Thank you for reading all this addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere, apparently!

Stopped off here this afternoon and have replaced the container for the CO. Placed the original log book in a zip lock bag inside the new container. All good again.

Cool hiding place, the container is broken but the log is okay

Hooray my first ever geocache found with maicoolz out in the open but placed back where we thought it should have been tftc

Went along with talos7162 and after about 10 minutes searching we found the cache out in the open, talos7162 has his first ever find, we replaced the cache in a tree stump as we were unsure where it actually belongs, container is broken unfortunately but log is all good and dry.

Sadly, we searched in all the possible hides but couldn't find it ... we should be back

Searched in logical hidey holes and high and low.Even checked other trees closeby. A dnf today with Andy Columbia.

Found an orange in a good hiding spot, but no cache:).

TFTC! Great spot.

Found on another trip down south looking for my usual traditionals. This time mainly in and around Morphett Vale.
A quick find in the obvious spot using the new co-ords.
Thanks Jedika98 for putting it there

Doctor Owl went out to check the cache. Sadly the wattle trees are no more so the cache has been moved but is still as spicy as ever.

Typo in previous coordinate update - sorry.

What do you do when you have a few days in Adelaide and a lot of things needing attention at home? Go caching with a good friend of course.

The look on Owl's face when she realised the wattle tree was no more was priceless. Some rooting around produced a tattered log book. A suitable replacement hide was found after a bit of a search and we were off for the rest of our adventure.

Thanks for the cache The Spice Girls.

Wattle trees are now mulch. New hide at S 35° 07.619 E 138° 31.794.

We had to move something

With work finishing at lunchtime today, I wondered how to spend my afternoon. There were a fair few geocaches down south that I had wanted to do on my bike, so decided to drive down, and ride the Coast to Vines Rail Trail from Morphett Vale to Hackham. Then towards Huntfield Heights and to the sound of Christmas carols, it was then back riding along Golden Wattle Way Trail, and finishing off where I started. I'm not a big fan of suburbian caches and driving around stopping/starting, but cycling + geocaching was a lot of fun, and very enjoyable. A nice temperature sunny afternoon to be riding around also.

I continued my afternoon's adventure along the rail trail, and I took a rest once I reached this GZ. This had me looking for a good 5-10 min until I finally made the cache find, with the coordinates of the physical cache pretty close to what my GPS was saying for GZ. There was a fair amount of dead growth around the place that hampered my search. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, however I didn't manage to find a spice clue in this container? Thanks The Spice Girls aka. Jedika98 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
