Animal Facts : Giant Freshwater Stingray Brooklyn Park, South Australia, Australia
By 3LG on 12-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4QQ34

Had a look this evening but no luck. Had looked on a daytime look on an earlier date also but the same result. The low point looked wrong on the co-ordinates but I went for a look anyway. When I shone the torch in, whatever animal is living in there scurried. That was enough for me to stop looking there. I can’t imagine it is in there anyway. This made the search interesting so thanks 3LG. I hope to find it one day.
Suggesting maintenance based on the accumulation of DNF’s (I hope I haven’t just missed it).

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Not replacing, time for this one to go.

You pwned us nooba

Searching with JayG10, but didn’t find it.

Interesting. Even looked deep into the drains

Nice and quick in a pretty park TFTC

Found this one on the way to work. Very quiet at 6.30am needed to use the torch tftc

Another ant party at GZ.

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.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache **3LG**. Discover our TB

Love the cache, right in front of your eyes.

Nice quick but stealthy find due to muggle mums with kids. TFTC

Last find of the night after dropping The Mzungus off. With CacheClosed1847. TFTC #223

Great hide

Found with CachingTheJoint. TFTC. #244

After a less than stellar search for a previous Animal facts that require owl like sight, I figure I'll tackle this one. I park the dingy close by swim to GZ, and dive down to see if i can hold my breath long enough, sure enough, an easy find and sign before releasing back into the wild.

No water was actually sighted during this cache.

Our first find in Adelaide while in school holidays! Thank you!

Me and Ahomburg have now hit the road on the journey back home. After attending the red centre experience event in Alice springs.
What an amazing trip this has been.
The first stop on the way home was kings Canyon.
Second stop will be Coober Pedy.
Third stop is Woomera.
Forth stop ? Heading for a FTF and staying in a cabin to get out of the bad weather.
Fifth stop. Swan Reach.
Sixth stop. Gawler.
And the last stop will be Adelaide then home.
Thanks for the cache.

Today was a day of caching in and around Adelaide with lukie1987 after a massive road trip to Alice, it was a relief to be driving such a short distance today.

Sick and tired of the CBD traffic, we moved out a little to catch the ocean.


Many thanks to 3LG for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are happening! *Are you joining the fun?*

I arrived in Adelaide from NZ this morning for a couple of days work. I had a few hours to spare today to headed off to find a few caches. Stopped across the road and went to look for the cache. Not in the first place I checked but it didn't take too long to find it. TFTC, Biggles.

**Found after dropping people off at the Airport**

*Found before meeting up with Getnict*...

A quick park and grab...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment 3LG...

Quick find TFTC

Found during a smilie hunt in the western suburbs.
Good to see this one back, thanks for the quick replacement.
and the original cache 3LG

Visiting geo nanna in Mount Barker for Christmas.
after a spot of shopping at Ikea,
and the weather calming down
we decided to get a cache or more...
we were collecting other caches nearby so hit this one too.
tftc!!

Replaced cache

Could CO please check this one. Almost certainly missing, found the lid, 50mm round with camo paint job, by nearby park bench.

Had a good look around but no cache was found, only what was almost certainly a cache lid by the nearby park bench.
Thanks for the hunt 3LG

Found on our trip to Adelaide. Box in best condition. Thanks for maintain.

No luck.

Second animal facts I couldn't find

Nice quick find tftc

Easy find. TFTC

Day 257 of "consecutive days with finds". Cache #1360.

We had a 30-day premium member trial, so I decided to make full use of these 30 days by finding at least one premium-only cache everyday (except event day).

This afternoon, I had an appointment in Richmond, and I found this cache on my way home.

It was an easy find. I can see the possible hidden spot long way before I went there. Checked, and cache was there. Signed the log sheet, and placed it back.

Thanks for the "Animal Facts" cache series, 3LG.

Thanks for the cache. KillBillAgain

Quick easy find, TFTC

Certainly an easy find and exposed. We also covered the container as best we could with natural cammo. This one may not last long in its current location. TFTC

A quick find for us today.
Found this one exposed to the elements.
Tried to cover it with the natural cammo. TFTC

There is a Giant Freshwater Stingray. I didn't know that before today. The cache is in good condition but does seem a bit exposed/easy. I added a bit of natural camo. TFTC

I found the cache lying on the ground. I have no clue where the original place was but I covered this cache a little bit more than before.

Spending a few hrs with the geo daughter caching the area. Thanks 3lg

Found with 2011*turtle. A quick find. TFTC

Found with vj187. A beautiful day to be out and about. TFTC

Quick find near our old home Tftc

On a very windy and threatening day (rain wise) I thought I'd quickly duck out and grab a few caches on my Rostered day off. This one was the 1st. A quick find was made at 09:30 on Mon. 9 May 2016. All dry inside the cache TFTC 3LG

Quick find - tftc

Quick find due to being exposed
Hid in what I think is logical spot
TFTC

Tftc.

Easy find

Park was very empty today so managed to retrieve and replace the cache rather quickly.

Found late at night, in the most logical place, given the caches' previous log. I suspect it is in the right place, but impossible to be certain. TFTC 3LG!

Visiting nearby Adelaide College of Divinity and stopped to grab this cache. After some serious overnight thunderstorms, there was quite a pool of water in the park with lots of ducks making themselves at home. Probably not a suitable home for stingrays... fearsome creature. I've come to associate stingrays with Steve Irwin who was killed by the tail barb.

Once I arrived at GZ, I saw the cache lying on the ground exposed. Thankfully the contents were fine and once I signed the logbook, tried to figure out where it was supposed to be hidden. I took an estimated guess based on the d/t rating and most obvious hiding place. Might be good for CO to double check.
TFTC 3LG!

Nice easy find on the way from the airport. TFTC

**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did in 2016. I cache with an assortment of cachers and never alone. In 2016 I cached with Moneydork, Ride the GeoWalrus, Locus Cacher, Liz & Bruce and Team Zouk. My log should match up with one of theirs. I enjoy every cache find I have made and do not for one second take for granted the effort going into each one, its just I'm very bad at logging my finds and I'm trying to improve. To improve I have to reduce the quality of my log and just get it over with -- for now. If I can form a good habit again I will return to my once more meaningful logging. Thanks heaps for hiding caches around South Australia that I could find!

A most entertaining day of caching. It was great to find this cache. Thanks to 3LG for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Grabbed 2 caches for the day in this area and this one was so close it could not be ignored. Parked across the road in the shade and wandered across to GZ and after a short survey of the area a quick find of the cache was made. Signed log and replaced. No muggles as it was a hot day. Also no fresh water stingrays were spotted, phew. Gratias pro cache.

I have never heared of these animals, cheers for the education. Lovely to have a blank log to write in. Completed today after an airport drop off, thanks for the hunt this afternoon

New log sheet and boy this park has changed since the cache was placed here, there is a playground here now, the cache is a good distance from the play equipment : )

I arrived at the airport a little early so I decided it would be more enjoyable to find a couple of caches than wait at the terminal.

The park was quite busy with kids on the nearby playground but they didn't seem interested in me so I was free to search in peace.

Quick find but given the T rating, it was not where I thought it would be hidden. Anyway, log signed and replaced where I found it.

Thanks for the cache.

#3061

New log sheet needed.

Terrain rating changed as this one seems to be in a different hiding spot from where it was first placed.

We were it seems collecting DNFs.
Knowing that 3LGs coordinates were usually spot on.
hevwalker12 & I were confident that we could locate this cache.
Nice big hole here, thanks for the cache 3LG

Clare007 & I were out on an evening caching adventure.
After a couple DNF's tonight we needed our confidence restored, thank goodness this was just the one to do it. A nice quick, easy find. TFTC 3LG

The ants were a lovely surprise. Thanks

T rating put us in the wrong place for a minute. But then we looked in the right spot and made the find. TFTC. 14/10/2015, 18:30 Find #953

An easy find tonight. Log book very full, just managed to squeeze names on. TFTC 14/10/2015 6:31 pm Find #777

Found out for a walk with the geo-mum. Might need a replacement log

A quick find. TFTC

Another smiley on the run home tonight.
I wondered if the cache was supposed to be where I found it?

Thanks 3LG. [^]
Find #1275

Another great find on a geocaching trip around the area.

Thanks for putting up this cache and making my visit fun.

Quick find whilst in the area.

Had to drop Mrs Seek3rs to the airport, so was an ideal time to cache around this area....

A very easy find.
Was wondering if I was going to be able to attempt it with a gardener in the area, and a builder opposite.
But a quick find, retreat to the nearby seat to sign the log, and a quick replacement.
Then on my way to the next way.

I knew stingrays could grow big !
Not that[ big though ! [:o]
I'm glad I haven't met any monster rays

Do they sell stingrays at IKEA ?
They are the perfect shape for a flat-pack [:o)]

TFTC !!

I am not at all sure about finding a giant stingray but there certainly was a giant spider guarding the cache. SL TFTC

Out with 3LG and earthlight. ""Sneaky Squeaky™" Woz ere" A quick but enjoyable find. From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C

Found It!
Bloody PM only caches! Spawn of Satan! Burn down the PM only caches and exterminate anyone who conceives them!
I have no idea what the significance of this spot is or why you'd put a cache here.
TFTC anyway

A meeting finished earlier than expected so I had a few minutes to look for a cache.

I had read that this cache was in plain sight but when I arrived I saw it sitting right out in the open. After signing I concealed it slightly

Found on my way home from a uni exam, needed a distraction from the brain strain of the afternoon.

Today will be called " Catch me if you can... rain" we're in a speed geocaching day with two of the best geo teams Dr. Owl and Aussie M&M yep easy

A good sized micro cache for an urban hide. Easily found without attracting muggle attention. TNSL.

Quick & easy, like a microwaved meal

Finally found it! Why I didn't see it last time I'll never know.

A quick, surprising find. Thanks 3LG.
