Also a dnf from me. Had some idea of where it could be, but it wasn't:p
 
17-Aug-22
I dragged myself out of bed at ridiculous o'clock for the 7AM Caching Catch Up this morning, with a few caches before and after.

Second DNF in a row. I had a chat to CO last time we saw each other so I was pretty confident that I knew where it was... maybe not.

Another time.

A beautiful day for cachingThankyou
 
09-Aug-20
This morning before the breakfast event at villis I decided to do a few caches close to home that in a normal day is super busy but on a Sunday morning there is no one around.

I have been past this one way too many times and today was finally a good time to stop and have a look. The cache was easily found and is all good

Today is the fourth day of a 10 day mini streak to get to 10 caches per calendar day and/or a mystery cache per calendar day. Six caches were required today with the inner northern suburbs being the target area.

Flustered by the previous DNF I drove past a target cache to get here, but the error will be easily fixed. I made a surprisingly quick find once at GZ.

Thanks for the cache 3LG.

A very fitting Animal Facts geocache at this location. Parked on a street nearby, and was coming home from searching for another geocache when the clock went past midnight, so a chance to clear today's physical cache requirement for the streak also. An easy find once here, thanks 3LG.

Short trip away with tmann421 hunting some caches in Adelaide. After a flight delay we were beginning to wonder if any caches would be found today. The drizzle didn't put us off on day one.

Loved the sculpture of the earthworm that we saw on approach (:-). We were shattered to later learn from the plaque that it really isn't an earthworm at all (:-(.

Thanks 3LG for the interesting facts; but are you REALLY sure that cutting an earthworm in half will not produce two still-living earthworms?

We took a detour to the interesting Indian store nearby on our way back to the car.

Headii to event nearby and just wandered a little further to make a very quick earthworm find thx. Pity not a worm insight today. Dropped my pen so signed in with pink lipstick as BB on front page Smile.
 
03-Mar-18
Had to pick up a roofrack from the 4wd shop across the road and just had enough time to find a quick cache. And thankfully this one was quick. It took longer to wait for the busy traffic to clear to cross the road than to find and sign the cache. Thanks 3LG

My reason for coming to Adelaide was completed, now time to find a cache in this beautiful city. Check the app on the iphone and there is a hide 200 meters away, headed off with freezing wind and rain adding to the fun.
Quick find in the 2nd place i checked with the only muggles in cars whizzing past on a wet Friday afternoon.
Thanks team 3LG for placing the cache.

Thank you for a sneaky hide. Didn't have to dig up the garden to find this little earth worm.

Our GPS first took us to to a particular point, which it indicated was GZ. With nothing to be found there we let geo logic kick in and soon made the find nearby. The info about worms is certainly very interesting to read. Log signed, all was replaced, job done. Thanks to 3LG for putting out this cache for us to enjoy.
 
23-May-17
After completly disregarding the hint intially (truth: only read it after doing what it tells us NOT to do) we found the cache easily.

Geodad swung by to collect us, after collecting some brackets for his roof racks, and we carried on our way to the city (and Nespresso).
 
11-Apr-17
After finishing up some work meetings nearby, work colleague and I had a bite to eat across the road from here. I explained my obsession with geocaching to him and noted that there was one hidden less than 130m from where we were sitting. We headed over to GZ and I showed him what it was all about. Not sure if that reassured him at all about my sanity or not. Anyway, this cache was found in the second place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

After a great Pi Day of caching around Bobland three days earlier AnyMules and I planned to come cache out the area around the Bobdome. Having stumbled with the latest BFE at Pi night we had since seen the error of our ways and this was put on the list. Of course Mrs. SA Sewer Rat wanted to come and achieve Reel Nirvana again. Doctor Owl just wanted some exercise. So the four of us decided to meet at the Owlery for a fabulous day of BFE cache hunting. Cool That done it was time to go an get some other puzzles that we had worked on together as Puzzled Puzzler meetings. Wink
I have lost count of the number of times I have driven past here and said I really must stop and grab the cache there sometime. Today was that day. Yes it does actually look like an earthworm or perhaps those big carnivorous ones from Tremors or Dune. In any case AnyMules made a quick find and we were on our way again. Smile
Thanks 3LG Big Grin

The first cache of this trip to SA. Yes it is a good idea to avoid walking on the garden altogether.
No need
I found this one in the company of Goodlook who was my chauffeur and local guide
thanks 3LG
 
05-Mar-17
I have driven past this structure many times knowing that there was a cache here. I remember stopping when I only had a few cache finds under my belt and walked away with a DNF, today however, with a few more finds to my name, I was able to tie my shoe laces and make the find with my buddy.

Out and about with the lovely Feathertop on this glorious day.

After I collected Sally from the airport, we ventured out into BFE territory. We also targetted a number of other caches today, this being one of them.

Thanks so much for the cache 3LG! Smile

This one was last on our list before hitting the nearby takeaway shop.
We finally found gz & I got frightened away from a nearby Munzee by a huntsman.
I've always liked worms, good for the garden thanks for the cache 3LG

We are house sitting some FurBabies at Clearview so decided to take the Border Collie for a walk (or did he take us for a walk?). A 2km round trip and we found the earthworm and the Cache. Our first Cache for 2017 and hopefully the start of many more finds this year. TFTC

Driving through Prospect and stopped for a quick cache. Interesting artwork.

Day 297 of "consecutive days with finds". Cache #1405.

This afternoon I had a job to do on Durand Tce, Enfield. After I finished my job, I checked my phone to see if there's any cache nearby. It seems this cache is only 200m away, so I had a try.

Walked to GZ, saw the art work. Checked one place, no there. Checked the second possible place, found the cache.

There's no one watching, and I quickly grabbed the cache, signed the log, and placed it back.

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

Just finished dinner at the nearby leap day event when we realised that we needed a cache for a souvenir.
Left in a bit of a hurry as it was getting dark and we had no torch. Luckily we had a pen in the glove box!
A quick find and met some other cachers at the earthworm TFTC 3LG
