It's International Geocaching Day and I have planned on attending a couple of events, one in Glenelg and one in Gawler which left me all afternoon to fill in some time. The weather wasn't too good it rained on and off all day, but I was lucky that it mostly stopped when I needed to find a cache. I made a list and after the first event I started ticking off that list and made it to Gawler with time to spare and without getting really wet.Had time for one more and this was on the way. Spotted the cache quickly, the log was damp but I was able to stamp the log.Thanks for the cache dezzabills.

02-Apr-24
I've been feeling like caching for the entire Easter weekend, but the weather has been pretty average. So Emu and Baloo took advantage of the cooler evening and went on a mini caching spree. We started off looking in the wrong spot for this one but wandered down the street a little and soon had the cache in hand. Emu was super impressed with this cache even though it drove us a little nutz.
 
03-Mar-24
Over from Perth for few days to attend the Leap Day Mega. Today's plan was to head out to explore Gawler and the Barossa, with a selection of caches on the way / during the day that either piqued my interest... or I just happened to be passing by Smile This was one that I stopped off at. A nice quick find here, parked up right by GZ so almost a cache & dash Smile TFTC

Southern Autumn adventure Day 46. Mid North section of SA trip Day 17. Gawler Day 5. The plan today was to do an armload of geo-art towards Tanunda, but the day dawned wet and staying rainy. I moved up a plan and went to Angaston to check out a cache I skipped as too hard and then markets, all in the hope things would dry a little. No luck, and most of the roads were marked 'dry weather'. I did a few that were on the bitumen corners and then headed back to Gawler. It seems it was not as wet now in the Gawler area, so I did managed a few caches, but not what I had hoped for.

Back around Gawler, the rain has eased and I can do some real caching. No problems with the cache, and another interesting fact discovered.

Thanks for the cache dezzabills

Thanks dezzabills for placing the cache, and Jem for maintaining it for our enjoyment. This is a cunning and tricky hide well executed. Thanks for brining me here and showing me the memorial plaque. Please put in an order for the next postal plane to have some new log paper installed, for this one is very full. This postal item is fully stamped. Found on quite a warmish day, the sun and air are beginning to bite, my caching day is almost over.

Out with some pleasant caching with hevwalker.
We were heading North to end up at the International Geocaching Day at Gawler.
Some easy parking & no muggles were seen at the nearby park.
The traffic was something else though...
Thanks to my driver I had an idea where to look & what to look for.
The location ended up being incorrect, but the coordinates had me looking in a better spot with a cache.
The log & the traffic was more difficult and my phone managed to dislodge it's self from my pocket onto the bitumen.
Phone and cachers were unhurt, thanks for the hide dezzabills & Jem
 
15-Aug-20
Loved this one great hide thanks for the caché
 
15-Aug-20
Took longer to Cross the road than it did to find the cache! TFTC
 
15-Aug-20
Today was Gawler Day. After doing all my chores I headed off to Gawler on the new road which makes the drive much shorter.
Had a long list of caches to tick off but a later than anticipated start coupled with some hideous hay fever meant I didn’t get as many finds as I’d hoped for. Just wasn’t having caching feels today.
I didn’t have any dnf though which was good and converted one prior frownie into a smile which was also good.
At the end of the day had some fab food at the very well patronized Geocaching day event. Not quite Seattle where I should have been today but still a fabulous event and was great to see so many fellow cachers. After tea found a final 3 caches with JJ52 and then took my pollen infested head home, still suffering the Wattle side effects the next day.
Read the hint found the cache. TFTC!
 
15-Aug-20
Took us longer to cross the road through all the traffic than it did to find and sign the cache!

Found with Erine14 on a geocaching day in the Gawler-Kapunda area TFTC
 
11-Aug-20
Nice plaque. It is in an obscure place although its next to the McDonald’s sign so I guess a lot of people might look at that and see this.
 
08-May-20
Wow... as the day went on my brain started to die ha ha.

I was looking everywhere to no avail at first then as i had exhausted all options i stood back and just had a think... a desperate call upon my limited brains yielded the unthinkable... the answer lol [:o]

I felt here, felt there then low as per instructed [hint] then i struck paydirt... Yes!

Decided to stop and find this cache as ages ago, I stopped here only to be told by Jem that the cache was in fact missing SadTwisted
Since it is currently being found[^], it was my time to try for my own smiley Smile and thankfully cache was in hand within less time than it took to reread the plaque WinkCool[^]

My only cache find Smile for today[?]Surprised[?]Surprised as tomorrow's Christmas preparations take precedent over geocaching [^]
