Found it! Nice quiet spot for a quick solve and find of this multi. Its a great day to be caching in the hills as its a few degrees cooler up here. TFTC!

Found with cccl23 on a hills caching spree.

Found on a caching spree with BushnikQuick find.TFTC!

Found while out on a group ride throught the Hills. This was one of those "we've stopped here. There must be a cache nearby moments. And there was. My muggle cycling mates were a bit bemused!TNLNSLTFTMC The Tardis TrioFP for the terrible two piece device within the cache!

Christmas trip to Adelaide 2023. Day 4. Boxing day Blackwood Day 2. Another cloudy and damp day. I was determined to steer clear of shops, so I headed into the hills behind Blackwood to try for a few caches. I went for a short walk in a park and then found some ridge top roads to drive along getting a few caches as I went.After the last multi, this was a much simpler exercise, and I soon found the number and moved on to make the find at my calculated GZ. Quite a good container here.Thanks for the cache The Tardis Trio45156.3 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2017 WA Goes Big A#466**Albida**

Collected the numbers then off on the shirt walk to the final.You reckon I could find the cache, no way!!Gave up but had a toilet spot on the way back to the wagon and there it was, about 10m away from my final TFTC

TFTC, TN, LN. Great fun

The plaque led us on a quick search to a creative container that was harder to solve than the coords! Might need a car key or something similar. Fun little one, TFTC.

The one thousand multi challenge … it’s going to take forever. I’m driving by here today, so not passing up the chance to chip away a little bit more. I wish there were a few more of these AHH multis in the north end of the hills where I live - they’re good fun.

The cache was not in the first place that I looked - of course it isn’t, it wouldn’t have fitted. The theming inside made me smile. Nice work Tardis Trio.

A quick solve and a wander to GZ to sign the log.
The only safe place to keep the log book is in the Iron Bank of course

TFTC The Tardis Trio
Keep smiling

A nice early Spring day grabbing a few caches around Heathfield, Longwood, Ironbank and Scott Creek. Spent some time in the beautiful Mark Oliphant Conservation Park too

Many thanks for this quick, easy multi The Tardis Trio

Good old Edna; I wouldn't cross her! A quaint little hideaway. TFTC

A quick short multi which had us walking to the final location. The clue didn't help as we couldn't see what there was to match it. After a quick search we had it in our hands. TNLN. Cheers.

An easy find on a lovely day out with pie_mom and the geopup

Geopup had a good snif while we worked out the simple calculations to gz

Thanks tardis trio for this interesting log container and cache. Imaginative.

Checked on cache all OK.
Original logbook is still there.

Found on a rainy day, no log book in cache so I put a new book in it

The team headed off to Adelaide for a wedding for a couple of weeks in the caravan, exploring Victorian and South Australian country side, with many campsites to stay at, and many more caches to find along the way. Thanks so much to the CO's maintaining these for us to explore.

The call of the fire siren last night (twice) yielded a multi cache was required. Walked up the hill from Shiloh Hill accommodation to make a very quick and easy find this morning at 0830hrs with the geo-dog. Cool, thanks from a fellow Victorian CFA vol.

Took TB, and left FP. #1019

Numbers quickly gathered and then made my way to GZ for a quick find.

TFTC

I don't pass through here too often so I put the work in today and can now tick this one off! Bit of a face palm moment when I found it! Thanks for this cache. All contents are dry and intact.

On the way to the German village, quick detour. Love the Iron bank! Dropped TB. TFTC

In the area picking up a few caches and needed a couple more multis to complete a challenge I’d been working on. This was the final multi I needed nice simple one to solve and find! TFTC

Quick solve and find with Erine14
TFTC!

Will have to try again when it isn't dusk

A nice quick little multi on a Sunday morning. There was also a place of worship here. TFTC

Finally ticked this one off the list after all these years. I came here some years ago and scored a DNF I think - but that was a looong time ago.

Thanks to The Tardis Trio and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Another one in the series for the day, a quick multi and off to GZ I went, a nicely hidden cache revealed something a little different. Cache is all good

Today’s weather was calling for some caching adventures so off I went, the day was split into two parts, the first one I went solo and did some cache around Belair/crafers area. I mainly focused on the multis. It wasn’t until later on I got a message from Davidwazza asking to do a new multi around okaparinga, so we met and headed south for the evening collecting a fees around the area.

TFTC

We love these caches which focus on aspects of the history of areas where we are visiting. The real history of Ironbank made for interesting reading. Data collection for this multi was straightforward and we were soon off to GZ. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of a very well designed and presented cache. The cache container was top notch. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks The Tardis Trio for a really enjoyable multi. It earns a favourite from us.

LiB & I were making our way home, the long way, collecting a few caches along the route...
The evening had set in so torchlight was needed...
A nice simple multi to add to my tally...
Thanks for the cache and the interesting tale, The Tardis Trio

On the way home and caching with hevwalker. A nice quick calculation made for an easy find... although the hint doesn't match the hide.
Even though we are concentrating on drive by caches, I've been encouraging hevwalker to do a few multis each time we cache... to help her achieve the 500 multi challenge Happily this GZ was much closer than your other multi we did earlier

TFTC Tardis Trio

Wow that was a nice easy multi. TFTC

Well there was a nice surprise at GZ here. Mary was laughing at the imagination of The Tardis Trio when they put out this cache container.
A very fun find and another favourite point from Mary and Mark caching on a wet and rainy day.
TFTC The Tardis Trio.

Nice and easy find. TFTC

Easily sorted and a very cute cache!!!! A favourite!!! Thanks Tardis Trio!!!

Our niece called around at lunch time to tell us they had bought a house on Pope Road. After a delightful high tea at Lenzerheide we decided that we should go and have a look at the house. Conveniently this cache was on the same road so as I was short of a multi today towards my target it seemed like a smart idea to collect this one.
Nice church nice history and a very nicely themed final. Had to get the geohusband help me get into the log.
TFTC Tardis Trio enjoying this little history series.

Stopped in for a lunch break whilst out this way for work. Quick find after eating my sandwich... TFTC..

A quick solo cache outing to pick up a number of caches I've wanted to target for a while. It started with a Wherigo in the city and ended down near Scott Creet Conservation Park.

My last cache for the day, and it was a nice easy multi. Cache was much larger than I was expecting, and a pretty bold hide, that is in great condition.

This was find number 5 of 5 for the day for me. TFTC The Tardis Trio!

A nice simple multi leading to a decent sized cache in good condition tftc

A quick multi in a spot that I have driven past dozens of times. Surprised that this cache hasnt been found in about 10 months. Signed log and dropped a TB that likes to be near churches, which is just across the road from the cache. Thanks Tardis Trio for the cache!

Out with Jj52 and tomboy for a days caching. Contents all good TFTC

Found with Alex-thesquirrel

Qaepag! Squirrel and I laughed at the iron contraption on the logbook container ! We were asked by a local if we saw a black dog who ran away. Sadly that wasn't the case ! Signed the logbook and made our way back to the nest.
TFTC The Tardis Trio

Pretty quiet on a Saturday morning in Ironbank. Was a great day for a drive looking for caches near Upper Sturt. Thanks.

Found this one while I was in the area doing a couple other caches. Nice simple multi. TFTC.

Decided I would leave a bit early to get to an event later that night. Left 1.00 p.m. for an event start at 7.00 p.m. Mmmmm. What to do for a few hours. Perhaps grab a cache or two...or three...or ten!
Nice cool cloudy day meant I could go for an extended stroll around and grab a few caches.
So parked near WP1 and did my sums.
Lucky for me this wasn't an extended walk at all. And there was even a 4WD for sale near GZ that I stopped to look at as a few muggles drove past. Then into the scrub for a not quick, but easy find. Thanks The Tardis Trio for the cache and history.

Just moved in down the street and thought I'd do a cache close to home. Thanks for the history lesson of my new neighborhood and for the cache. Found by the Aussie branch of GronwoldFamily/Dobie's Pride.

Should have brought my ironing with me. TFTC. 22/10/16, 2:26 pm Find #2969.

pulled up at first wp thinking I could do this one in the rain and it starts hailing. About a minute or 2 later its all over and co ords worked out and a cache was found. cache fine, log dry. another of this series down.

A warm and sunny day ment that i had some time to clean up some caches around the Scott Creek and Bradbury area. Some of my parking spotsd might have been a little sketchy, safe though, but I was able to find and sign pretty quickely and I was on my way.
tftc

My approach to the vast majority of multis is to grab the info needed (usually by taking a photo) and then work out the coordinates later in the comfort of my lounge room, and eventually find the cache next time I am in the area. However, for this multi the description mentioned the cache was nearby, and being a fair way from my house I decided to solve it on the spot and grab the cache straight away. It was a good call, because solving the coordinates is easy and the cache is indeed nearby, so I recommend other cachers do likewise.

I liked the inventive log book holder, which has kept the log in top condition, but I needed to get a coin out of my wallet to open it. Stamped the log, took nothing, but left my 10c coin in there so future finders can open the log book holder. TFTC

I was in the area for work so I thought I'd see if there was a quick find handy.
Thanks for the laughs and the effort put in. It was fun.

10:41 AM - Find #1879

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Was working nearby and on the way past this morning had called in to make the find. Loved the history lesson. Made total sense to me. Visited listed coordinates and got the required numbers and got coordinates. Plugged them in and headed to GZ. Looked for ages but could not find anything even close to resembling the info supplied by the CO so in the end a quick call to the CO to check. Yes I was in the right area but time was running out so abandoned for the time being. On the way back decided to call in and have another quick look. Rechecked the calculations for GZ and all good. Plugged into the GPS again and started to wander across and looked down and wow, there it was. Just about to uncover and retrieve and muggles pulled up opposite so quickly scurried further into the bushes. Finally they left and got back to the cache which when opened truly reflected the history lesson we had received. Loved it. Favorite point. Gratias Pro Cache Tardis Trio

Loved the history with this one - especially that on the cache page!! After shuffling the numbers I came up with a quick find. Thanks for the cache Tardis Trio!

Tftc no muggles today !!!

Found @ 11-25am with Poppadon. Good hide, interesting contents, quiet spot. TFTC.

Found at 11:25 AM with XBRmob. Wasted a little bit of time looking around, but there it was all the time, patiently waiting to be found.

Clearly nothing escapes the Iron Lady of the Adelaide Hills.
Neat little multi with a cool punny log holder. Fav awarded
TNLN TFTC The Tardis Trio

Loved it. TFTC

When our cell-phone-GPS didn´t cooperate some friendly local helped us! Thank you!

Attempt #2 at this one. Turns out I had the right coords to start with but dimming light spoilt the search. Came back today and got withing 15m before putting the GPS away and using the hint. TFTC

Golly! I had one of those money boxes when I was a kid (and that's a few years ago!). I didn't realise they still existed.

Finally had the opportunity to take a leisurely drive through the backway to home from a day down south, lots of interesting history in these old country towns, quick find once GZ was sorted and at the cache we said AHHHHHH a cool log container, last in the series complete at this time!!!!! TFTC The Tardis Trio

A quick find today. Thanks for the histories TTT.

Had a day off so went out to grab some caches around the area. TFTC.

A quick stop at the listed coordinates, and a bit of simple maths and the cache was soon in hand. Ms Edna Spatchcock sounds like the lady running the boarding house that I used to live at as an apprentice!

The church doesn't seem to have services all that often here, certainly not every Sunday by the looks of it.

Thanks Tardis Trio.

Found on a night time adventure with Tomboy711. Took TB and will move on shortly.

Nice hide, loved the "IRONBANK"

Nice easy multi, which was good.. Thanks for the interesting history. I enjoyed the humour in your cache it made me smile. Found it nice and easy. Left TB Cachin' in the Rain. Fav from me.

Thanks The Tardis Trio for the cache

Touring Australia having left Perth in late February we are leisurely touring South Australia.

After grabbing 4 'challenge' caches today we were heading back to our caravan in Kuitpo Forest and this cache was on the direct route.

It must be some sort of omen! We found a cache recently that was near a Tardis, then on our approach here we saw a Tardis and lo and behold this cache is by the Tardis Trio

Thanks for helping us to explore this area.


TFTC, Regards from FelixII

A quick find .

Was meeting up with Doctor Owl for some afternoon caching and as I was passing this one on my way I had to stop. [^] [^] Gathered the required info then headed off into the bush for a quick find. Love the log container.
Thanks for the cache The Tardis Trio.

Spend the caching between Mark Oliphant & Scott Creek Conservation Park.
Quick find near a busy intersection on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
Thanks for some interesting local history The Tardis Trio

A quick stop and a nice easy wander & find at GZ
Surprising just how busy this area has become over the last few years!
Cheers & TFTH

Cool cache! Spent far too long wandering in ever decreasing circles on this one then looked in the first place again and there it was, plain as day! Tftc, great story!

Found It!
I arrived at WP1, found the wrong plaque, then found the right plaque and made my way over to GZ. Then on the way back to the car I noticed the remains of a some-what suicidal possum who decided to swing between powerlines...
TFTC

Fun little multi. After floundering for a decent Gps lock, Had to resort to the clue, but nice to stop in this little town. TFTC.

Found after doing the calculations and rummaging around in the bushes for way too long, then spotting a likely place after finally resorting to the hint. Thanks for the history and cache Tardis Trio!

Walking distance from our place made for a nice evening walk, although the geoterrier refused to brave our roads at night. Thanks for the fascinating history ' weve been here 20 years and never knew the reason for the name. TNLNSL Thanks.

Who is up for 5 cache types today. This is the 5th type. Loved the cache. Insane giggle from inside a bush. Is sanity as swap?
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Great cache, loved it SL Thanks to The Tardis Trio

A quick stop here on our way to an early morning raid on a nearby new puzzle, on our way to work, to see the Ironbank Lady..
She gave up her stash rather quickly and we moved on in the half light...
TNLNSL
Thanks

Eagle, Owl, Raven and Jedika98 were in Woodside to ride or cache the Amy Gillett Bike track. On the way to drop Jedika home, they passed this cache and Owl insisted on stopping, despite not having the coordinates or the instructions. So she examined the plaque, wrote down the numbers, found the cache and then headed home to work out the coordinates. That’s how you get a Bronze folks!

Ismartis knows these lands well and knew exactly where she needed to go. The only question going through her mind as she was enjoying a cup of coffee was would she be able to get there in time? Well the answer was yes. She did have to navigate the very narrow Pole Rd which she tries to avoid where possible and do a few calculations but the hardest part proved to be finding the cache as she was initially looking a few metres off ground zero. She was delighted with the special logbook holder which has got to be one of the most creative she has seen so far! Her thanks go to the Tardis Trio.

Took lion, left computer man, left 2 x TB's.

My first cache for the year. Let's hope there are many more to come. Actually this is sort of a 1,2,3 cache. 1st for the year, 2nd to find this cache and 3 multi I have found.
Second place. Not first but still nice. I could have got first easily if I had have checked my e-mails as I live on Pole Rd (which this cache is at the end of). It was nice to get a cache without having to drag someone along (I am not old enough to drive yet so when I want to go caching I need to get someone to drive me ). It was a nice walk up where I crossed paths with more people than I expected to be walking along Pole Rd at 8pm.
It was an easy find, although I managed to accidently step on it (it is alright though). I liked the tin the log was in. It reminded me of my primary school days when we collected money for a child in a third world country. Some of the tins were Humphrey B Bear tins and some where the hotel like this. The iron attached to it was cute too.
Took one TB but left one for someone else.
