Animal Fiction : Mogwai Mount Crawford, South Australia, Australia
By 3LG on 10-Nov-14. Waypoint GC5GE1R

Found it. Had to come up with an inventive way to retrieve it because of the overgrowth. It's snake season! TFTC

Found

Phew! At least I found one cache on this trail. TftC No blood shed here.

Found it! A cool find, requiring a bit of fishing with an improvised TOTT. TFTC!

Safe a dry with the spiders!

Found while touring around Mt Crawford Forest on the MTB. A nice cool day made for a great time riding around. This cache is one that was found today. A quick find but seems the last visitor hadn’t put the cache back well. Found upside down with no lid on and contents all over the ground. Put the log back into the cache and closed the lid but couldn’t fish out all the toys.

Find #5649 on 19 Apr 2023.
TFTC LíB!

SA’s Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - Feb 29th, 2024. Keep the date free!

Guarded by a stumpy tail. Thank you!

I seem to be too "old" to ever have come across mogwai but not too old to enjoy the walk. Thanks 3LG.

Mr matmob wanted to climb to the summit but Mrs said what's the point if there isn't a cache there?

TFTC

Found him

Such a beautiful spot by the creek, I rested here in the partial shade today, twice, and it was just lovely. Passed a muggle on the main trail nearby, the only one I saw in 6 hours of walking today - bliss! From here the summit trail is worth the detour, great views as you climb near the summit, not so great from the top.

Is it just me, or is the lid on this one really hard to get off?? I didn’t have this trouble with OTD August! TFTC.

It had been a few years since we cached in this area, and after visiting friends in Williamstown, it seemed like a good target location for an afternoon adventure. We also needed to get the geo-pup out for a good walk. The rain mostly stayed away, but that didn’t stop our shoes and socks from getting soaked. Geo-pup enjoyed getting wet and running through all the puddles!

A quick find. Stamped the log book and retrieved the TB. TFTC!

Bit of Gcing after my Summit walk. TFTC

Found during the global pandemic of 2020 so we didn't open it up. Lovely walk

Headed out for a day in the bush on the Mountain Bikes! A fun day cycling around Mt Crawford and finding a few other caches on the way home with [@Davidwazza](http://coord.info/PR61VZX) ! TFTC!

With [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) available for geocaching once again after past weekends performing work and aerials, it was time for a planned out-of-Adelaide outing. We attended the nearby 5 km parkrun, and later, called past the annual pi approximate event, before heading to Mount Crawford with our mountain bikes. We then proceeded to ride up the Heysen Trail for a small segment (definitely not suitable for bikes as we walked half that), and then around the fire tracks collecting the *K9-GPS* series, *Weird & Cool Facts* series, *Animal Fiction* series, and *Animal Facts* series of geocaches. We then had a pizza dinner at Birdwood with a few final finds around there. A little windy that felt more attuned to a sunny winter day.

This cache was found whilst cycling around in an anti-clockwise direction in Mount Crawford surrounds. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 3LG aka. [@LíB](http://coord.info/PR8KEM6) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February.
With so few caches within 20 kms of home they are now to just complete the Calendar to have found both a mystery and a multicache on every day. Should be able to do one probably not both. [^]

Today I needed to find a multicache. So I headed of to one of my favourite places to walk and cache....Mt Crawford.
One more before I start the ascent for the multicache. Another quick find, well ..pretty hard to miss a cache this size!

***Thanks LíB for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***

Found it!

This was the main attack of the day, most of the caches were easily found apart from a few which took some searching. Some of the log books are almost full and will need replacing in the next few months.

Today I headed up north to Nuriootpa for an event put on by snappytomcats, with plans not going to plan in the morning I set off early and decided to do some caching along the way instead of doing it on the way home. But the bike in the car and decided I would go for a ride around mount Crawford then collect a few on the way to Nuriootpa. Overall a total of 42 caches for the day.

Easy find TFTC

Had a few spare hours today so knocked off a few more caches. A very windy day but still had fun hiking and searching. TFTC.

A bit obvious because of the track

Found with a crew for Duke of Ed camp. Thanks

Most interesting details and a nice big container. TFTC 3LG

A beautiful day to be out walking in some of the Mt Crawford forest with F-Llama. A quick find at GZ which was also home to many web producing creatures! Thanks for the memories about mogwais. TFTC

Quick find. Tftc.

what better way to celebrate the long weekend than being in Mt Crawford, all the campsites are full but everyone just sitting around their fires, just means the air smells beautiful. TFTC

What Hurtle said. Another run into the amazing aninal kingdom. If otherwise stated by Hurtle!, the caches were found spot on coords as usual. 3LG's always are and it's really appreciated.

Thanks to 3LG and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Continued along, a nice spot for a walk too...

Thanks

Another nice sized container, cant believe its been 10 months since last visit, on a very accesible track, signed log

Jack and I have trouble stopping at one,
it's a lovely part of the forest but we'll need to move on soon!
So checked out this little Gremlin too - nice to find a big one
We didn't feed it late, but it was pretty bright out here and it got a little wet too - watch out forest

Mr Tardis was out for a big walking day with Mr froghoppin to tackle a big chunk of the Animal Fiction caches. We found the caches in good condition unless otherwise noted. A great day walking, starting at chilly 3 degrees at the start and about 13 degrees when we finished.

Nothing better than a nice walk through the forest on a sunny winter's day.

The caches were found without too much searching - more proof that Mr Tardis doesn't need glasses.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache 3LG

Out for a days hiking with Tardis Trio tackling some Animal facts and fiction caches, picked up a few older ones as well, it seems from Tardis watch we walked about 12 km and about 122 flights of stairs in elevation, all up a good days exercise. most were quickly found and the odd one that needed a more though search, by the end of the day we only had three DNF's and they were near the creek TFTC 3LG

Great Good Friday geocaching weather. TFTC!

Nice easy find. Been awhile since someone found this. Lots of spiderwebs to get thro and terrain is a little thick. Be careful.

Out for the day with Debandy trying to rain in the out of control cache problem around the Birdwood / Mt Crawford area. Many excellent cache were found , a great deal of walking was done and much happiness was had.

Thanks for the cache!

Spent the day out caching with Cows With Guns. Our legs got a good workout with all the walking we did today. Many interesting caches were found today, Thanks for the cache.

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing

Found during a foray in the Mt Crawford area on a cold day, dodging the occasional shower. Retrieved this cache (as one of 7) while on a short, 3 km return bike ride along the creek-line. Thanks for the cache 3LG!

I could win an award for most caches found but not logged online. Please forgive this very generic log. If I admired your cache you'll get a favourite point from me and I'll likely come back and edit this log once I've caught up. If this generic log makes you unhappy - delete it. Life's too short to worry over it, I had fun finding your cache either way. Cheers!

Find number 24067
I did these cahes on a day time raid with Semik.
We had a fantastic time - Thanks for the caches.

Bonza! What a beaut day to be geocaching and mountain biking. Nice quick find and sign. TFTC!

walking, walking and more walking. At least there are some caches to find along the way.

Cache number 24 of 16 today.
Found at 1:33:00 PM on our 11.5 Kilometre walk.

Went out with The Shattells for another repeat visit to Mt Crawford to find a few more in these series.

Took the Geo pup along who at 16 years old she still loves a trail and she was very determined today even if she did come home and take to her bed and is snoring as I write this.
For a small dog this is about 80 human years. Try pushing your granny over to pine tree creek crossing and up a hill climb.

We were joined by another dog who loved the walk,

The two Andrews had a good time and the A Team where in good form as we took these on with a mini Shattell keeping us company.

Mini Shattell was a little tuckered out when we started the second leg and dropped of the pack and the A team were wheezing a bit on that last hill.

Had a fantastic time and a very enjoyable day out.

All the hides were great today and there we some big containers out there.

We loved the choice of hide locations.

Nice work.[^]

Easy find here. TFTC
Out with steamer531

Easy find with upsanddowns. Nice to walking on a winters day.

Found as part of our wander about the forest today,Strong fingers did the trick.TFTC

Hmm where else would these caches be. Another of the series off the list TFTC

Another predictable find in the forest. TFTC

Hard to retrieve without disturbing the spider webs. Luckily no spiders home at the time.

Mrs SA4agers decided that we needed to do some more of the Animal Facts and Animal Fiction series but there was a catch... she wanted to walk. So we parked the geomobile near Holey Wall and set off. Weather conditions were just about perfect and caches were abundant Some of the caches we swapped swag, some we didn't. All of the caches we found were in good condition and varied in size, type and hide. TFTC 3LG!

Oldest geokid got attacked by ants on this one! Took bag tag. Left 6 Dreamworks heroes cards and 2 toy fairies. TFTC.

The wombats were here!

Easy find

Found with family4p but beware of the colony of spiders that have made this cache's hiding place their home. May need boy help to open this one (instert feminist tirade here) Sl left toys tftc

Found with Utechick81. TFTC

On a mission today to get to the top of Mount Crawford and this was one of the Animal Fiction caches found on the way.
Thanks for the cache 3LG

Weather was dry at home and couldn't believe it was drizzling up here, which continued on and off for the next 3½ hours . Still nice to get out in the fresh air
Not a good idea to have a Mogwai this close to water . TNLNSL.
Thanks for another one 3LG.

My son hates these, well when he was 6 he hated them.... Did a swap for CP then signed log and headed off to the next cache.

Easy find with AussieM&M on this big one!! Thanks 3LG for the hide!!

Yes I remember this cute little devil in a movie .
Always loved the name of this animal.
Beta tested when placed.

Another big cache in the bush.
Found for a silver.

YAY!! FTF at 1924 hours. Mogwais are so cute until they turn into horrible Gremlins. There were a few kangaroos around but they seemed harmless enough. TFTC
