Found it. Third find of the day.
This Sunday, the weather is fine. I & J plus the little one drove to Outer Harbor area to go geocaching and visit some Playground.
There are five "Animal Facts" series caches in the park. Back on 18 Nov 2018, we visited the first two caches. Now it's time to check the rest three caches.
We walked to GZ from the starting point. I found the cache easily, and J signed the log book.
Thanks for the easy traditional cache, LíB. I like the "Animal Facts" cache series.

A fun day caching in Adelaide with the CCC crowd! Thanks for the cache.
 
29-Feb-20
Team CCC Hails from Canada. We are Two Muggles, Kteeeee, MissPeach13 and WRT and me. The day started out warm and sunny and the rain threatening this afternoon has yet to fall. We found the train to Adelaide lovely ride and enjoyed walking around the town checking out the sites. The best way to end the day was a long walk out to grab a few more caches. Eventually it was the mosquitoes that turned us around and headed us back and ended our day.

Out and about with Normanville on a beautiful autumn day. Love that one can go for a walk and pick up 7 caches at the same time. Very interesting area - wouldn't have visited if it wasn't for the caches. Didn't see any feathered emus but did see two rabbits. Will choose another nice day to walk the other circuit nearby that also has a few caches to make the walk far more interesting. Drove past the HMAS Adelaide to complete an enjoyable day.

After an early morning CITO event and an appointment I met up with gridge98 to go caching around Outer Harbour with a few other odd caches thrown in along the way. [^] Very changeable weather with sun, wind, clouds and rain at various times while we were out. Surprised

We walked to the first three along this track then went back to the car and parked at the next gate and got the remaining two. Big Grin All caches easily found and in good condition. [^]

Thanks for the cache 3LG. Smile

A short walk along to collect these ones, caches were all easily found and are in good condition m.

Some morning and midday caching today, a plan to go caching the JJ52 up and around outer harbor to collect some caches we both were yet to find, only one DNF for the day, lucky to beat the rain for the afternoon.
Thanks to all the cache owners for there placements.

Staying at my sisters house in semaphore and snuck out this morning to grab some caches on the outer harbour area. This one took me a while to locate but got there eventually, tftc!
 
02-Jan-19
I haven’t been to this area since starting geocaching so there are an abundance of caches here to choose from. Feels like being a tourist in my own town.

Grabbed a few traditional while walking around in the sunshine. All caches searched for were found. All found caches were dry and in great condition.

Thanks for the cache.

We managed to have a few days break over the Christmas New Year period. After Christmas in Geelong we headed over to Adelaide for a few days.

There wasn't a lot of caching but we did manage to find a few in between touristy stuff and eating. Today it was a bit cooler so we drove over to Port Adelaide, jumped on the bikes and headed off on a very big loop through Semaphore and the "other port".
Thanks for contributing to the fun we had.

Cruzin’ and Cachin’, again. After 11 days at sea from Singapore on Ovation of the Seas, today’s port of call is Adelaide. Needed a bit of off ship walkabout to straighten out our sea legs. Fantastic cycling/walking track near the cruise terminal with some well laid out caches by 3LG. Caught a few of them to add to our collection. Cache is in good condition and well maintained. TNLN; SL; TFTC ! Wonderful Job with these caches and so convenient to cruise geocachers.

We're currently spending a week or so in Adelaide, having slowly road-tripped here from Hobart over the last couple of weeks.

We're currently staying in North Haven, and decided to have a bit of a rest day, not venturing too far from home. Naturally, we started looking for caches in the area, as a bit of a productive way to spend our time. We quickly spotted the Animal Facts series nearby, and thought it'd be great to have a crack at collecting some of those.

This cache was the third of six finds (and one DNF) in the series.

TFTC 3LG!

A little sprinkle from the overhead clouds as I approached this cache, so my pace picked up slightly in the hope I would beat the rain. I approached from an awkward angle and made the find a bit more difficult than it needed to be. But once found I wasted no time in sorting out the business end of things.

Cheers 3LG

Such a lovely arvo to be out caching but a bit chilly TFTC

Nice quick find on our walk around the park!

Explored our way around Biodiversity Park along the path, as we had a nice winter day with sun out and blue sky. Nice to accumulate the caches for the Hidden Creatures campaign.

Coordinates bounced around a little for this one, but didn’t take long to find with no muggles around, cheers 3LG.

After what can only be described a very, very ordinary week at work, what better to take the Famous IV's mind off things for a while than a spot of geocaching and a cleansing ale at the Largs Pier. In Just over two hours 19 caches were found hence the generic log. Thanks to all for their hides.
 
06-May-18
Found, FIRST TO FIND THE REPLACEMENT CACHE ! Eye spied, Trinket Left (will be a top find) and cache Replaced ! Great find....

We were in the port of Adelaide for the day on Holland Americas Amsterdam. We had a 6-hour tour in the morning that took us to the town of Hahndorf. We knew we could get a few caches there. On the way there, we did a photo stop at Mt Lofty. Wow! There was a cache about 400' from the viewpoint. So Marbles zipped down the trail and bushwhacked through the forest to get that one.

We had two hours of "free-time"in which we had a great German lunch and were also able to get a cache at either end of the town. The group returned to the ship, where we changed into our "geocaching clothes" and out we went for the rest of the day. We did a large 8-mile walking loop around the beautiful port town and were able to find 14 caches before we had to head back to the ship for dinner.

So we wound up with 17 caches on the day, with one DNF near the end of the day. Great day!!!

Thank you to 3LG for 12 of the 17 caches and to each of the other COs for their efforts and for their caches. A special thank you to 3LG for the "walk through the animal kingdom" via cache Descriptions, whic were full of great information.

Although the day was windy and warm it was still good to get out for a walk and find a few caches in an area we don't often visit . Thanks for the information about the pufferfish - always interesting to read the animal facts. A quick find at GZ. TFTC Smile

Just a short trip to Adelaide on business. Had an 8am local meeting so decided to get local very early and pick up a few local cache for an hour. A couple of short pleasant walks and some drivebys to add to my months tally. Thanks to the CO’s for giving me reason to exercise. TFTC
