This is our first ever Geocatch we found it as part of our North Haven ‘Social Isolation Hide and Seek’ game.
Covid 19 has been cruel this Easter but has allowed us to find this interesting new pass time.
Thank you Phoebe and thank you to the owner of this geocach

As part of the group of 8 from Radiance of the Seas, we were happy to have enough time to find the cache near the pier!
 
29-Feb-20
4 couples from the Radiance of the Seas just returned from a day long wine tour. Luckily, we still had time to pick up the two nearby geocaches.
 
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 after getting off the train. Eventually it was the mosquitoes that turned us around and headed us back and ended our day.
 
29-Feb-20
Eight intrepid cachers off the Radiance of the Seas were on a wine tasting trip to the Barossa today. Once back, we had some time and went searching.

This was not quite what we expected, but it was found.

After our wine tour 8 of us picked up two geocaches before returning to the radiance of the seas. Thanks for the cache

It must be a bit underwhelming to get off a swanky cruise ship at Outer Harbour. But at least there are some cool caches, and that’s what I’d be looking for. TFTC.

A great park was seen at the other end, maybe it gets used on weekends, very quiet here today, almost a ghost town.

Dropped friends off to board the Queen Elizabeth and then went to get this one. Last time a car was right at GZ and we couldn't get around it. This time geopartner quickly had his hand on the cache. Thanx
 
06-Jan-20
After we disembarked from the Vasco de Gama we headed over to the train station. I had saved this one in case we needed a quick find on either or departure or arrival but don’t really need for either now I have a lot of time on my hands!. Had actually found it on another trip here but then decided to keep it for a just in case.
Today I resigned the log and added an extra piece of paper as the log was full and replaced.

We are on a cruise trip around the world. Of course there are some nice places to find caches at touristic spots or chances to grab caches nearby. We started from Hamburg and headed west to south-west Europe, South America, Australia, Africa and back to Germany.

We have nice days and great weather conditions. We learn something about the destinations and its inhabitants. Now we want to thank all the caching colleagues and owners who make this hobby possible:
###Thank you very much!###
Today we made a bicycle tour, started in Adelaide, followed the river to the coast and followed the coast line to the port. In the evening I made two quick finds near our ship. This was an easy one.

This cache was # 3105. Many Thanks to LíB!
Kind regards from Thuringia, Germany.

Our cruise ship is docked here .. we attempted to search .. but obviously looked suspicious and had to stop
 
20-Nov-19
We had a dnf yesterday and due to the fact that out cruise ship had an unplanned extra day in Adelaide we had the opportunity to search again.. due to the heat there were no over zealous muggles to thwart our attempt.Thanks Líb for extra assistance.

Following a fathers day breakfast, jesswrigley and I headed out for some kayaking fun around Outer Harbor. Our first stop was Bird Island for a couple of geocaches, and that was quite the experience. We paddled back, and then kayaked around Torrens Island for a couple of caches, before the winds started increasing, and paddling around on incoming waves became too much for us. A terrific day for the first day of Spring, and nice to be out on the water.

The CO alerted us that this one needed a logbook replaced, and so if were still in the area, to pay this one a visit. We parked nearby, and since I had found this previously, I recalled where this one was located. I tried retrieving the cache, but the cache was placed in quite deep, and couldn't retrieve. I tried using some natural TOTTs to get out, but unfortunately after 10-15 min, I think I ended up making the situation worst than better. Apologies [@LíB](http://coord.info/PR8KEM6), but may need some professional tools to now get this one out. Sorrys.

This is my second visit here and this time I was successful. log is a little damp but I was able to sign it. I stood here for a few minutes in the Gail drying it out. G

Will have to go back!! Smile
 
24-Jul-19
The bushes here have been trashed.
Hopefully not by geocachers. The cache is not in the bushes.

Rare leave pass on a weekend to go caching and so I arranged to meet Anymules at a morning event and do just that. Razz We considered a long walk in a park but the weather didn't appear to be clearing so in the end decided to hit the Port and clear out a few there. Cool

That was easy, it was on the ground. Smile Anymules (a previous finder) advised where I should replace it. [8)]

**Thanks LíB for this cache. ** Big Grin

Unable to find this one today, and muggles arrived so abandoned. Thanks 3LG

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

Looked everywhere for this one, but after reading some logs gridge found the container on the ground, so we stamped the log and replaced it where it should be. Big Grin

Thanks for the cache 3LG. Smile
 
29-Mar-19
Arrived at us but couldn’t find anything so had a read of past logs, discovered that it may be on the ground, a look down and there it was, put back up in and hopefully it says there.

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.

Nova Scotia to Australia. We are enjoying a month circumnavigating Australia on the Sea Princess. Our goal is to find at least one geocache in each port. Thanks to all the cache owners in this beautiful country.

Right across from our cruise ship! Thanks

First find of the day! First time ive been up the peninsular this far. Didn't know the train came all this way!! TFTC
 
05-Mar-19
We stopped here as part of our cruise and caught the train into Adelaide. We had some time to spare when we returned so I grabbed a couple of these caches.

Before a quick trip out today I had kept the experienced (senior?) Black Adders and SASewerRats waiting while I finished work late so quite pleased to locate this cache at the behest of an Adder. It was on the ground again and took quite a bit of searching. Fortunately it matched the foliage on ground so hadn't gone missing, as such. Replaced where the most logical spot was. TYFTC SLTNLN !
 
01-Feb-19
With it being a nice evening, jesswrigley and I decided to head down Semaphore and Outer Harbour in targeting a high terrain cache and doing a sunset walk in the area.

This was a quick park and grab cache, and hadn't been to this railway station before, but is nicely decorated and a great welcome to those travelling by ship arriving in Adelaide. We looked around GZ for this cache, and similar to the previous visitors, I ended up seeing it on the ground. There's a few obvious spots that would nicely hide a cache, so similarly, we've placed it back in a spot that hopefully can keep it there and out of the eyes of muggles. Cheers 3LG.
 
01-Feb-19
Found fallen on the ground, replace back after. Very cool station, saw the train just leaving as we arrived
 
13-Jan-19
Just got off the train from an afternoon walking around the centre of Adelaide before boarding our ship. This cache was very conveniently placed to record our visit to this part of Australia. Having found Coolfacts #12 at one end of the station it seemed logical to also visit this cache at the other end. Initially had difficulty in locating it but eventually saw it lying on the ground. Hopefully replaced it where the original hide was located.

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.

Found with clare007 during our caching day out in the North West of the city...
What an interesting place...
Come by sea or by train...
Lovely murals and sculptures, a big ship at the dock and lots of brand new Toyota's waiting for their new owners...
Quickly located the well hidden cache...
Thanks 3LG
