A nice sunny day so perfect weather to be out and about in the Adelaide Hills and of course picking up some geocaches along the way. Found without problems after consulting the hint. Thank you LoftyReasons, for placing NSPS - Playford for the geocaching community.# # #15104 # #

Took a while to find, long enough to need sustenance which I had at the establishment across the road. Thanks LoftyReasons.

TFTC! Cheeky post lunch find. Unfortunately very water logged and we didn't have any maintenance kit with us.

Logbooks are saturated, needs some maintenance. Thanks for the cache.

TFTCFound after a lovely Easter Saturday lunch at the scenic hotel with Spicetree and the GeoBaby!

Making our way up the hill to grab a few challenge caches and passed by this one. A busy spot as there were no free carparks around but also no people. A quick find and we were on our way again. Both logbooks are damp.tftc#9312

We extended our stay in Adelaide after the MEGA Leapyear events and are still refreshing our memories, enjoying new places and doing some caching.We passed this area on our way home to the Caravanpark. We found the cache and signed the log.Tftc LoftyReasons

Thanks for taking us to this beautiful little spot. We had already had lunch but should have held on for this pub with probably the best views of any establishment I have ever visited. Unfortunately the log book is soggy so was a bit tricky to make a mark. Can the next person to visit bring in a new log book.

Quick find here by torchlight. Unfortunately the log is sodden and I had no spares with me.Tftc

Logged after a yummy dinner at the Scenic TFTC

Found it,1st for year

Nice spot

Cheers

Needed the hint, but great little spot! Thanks for the cache

Adelaide and train trip Day 12. Blackwood day 4. After returning from my epic Ghan trip from Darwin to Adelaide yesterday, today was a day with a full day of caching planned. I was targeting the SFE challenges up beyond Norton Summit. I did a lot more walking than I expected and had to change my direction as some of the 'roads' I had targeted turned out to be reserve trails. I had a great day and apart from two Cherryville caches found everything I went looking for. I only just made it home in time, but it was well worth it.With many cracks and crevices, I was happy to find a cache here. I say 'a' cache, as the log book I signed had logs back to at least 2021 in it.Thanks for the cache LoftyReasons44710.1 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2006 Australia 4 A#48**Albida**

I went here to see if I could find it but I couldnt so I chose to put a new in. Round GZ you will find the cache I put here and it has some room for swapables

Went up to this geocache and did not find it anywhere near GZ but i recommended that the cache needs to check to see if it still there or not

Cache needs to be replaced as it’s not in the usual spot

I know where it should be so I was disappointed that I couldn’t find it

Couldn't find it

Found plenty of litter in the bushes but no cache. Unless it got washed away in last night's deluge. !

Kinda easy to find after you know where to look, fun though!

Quite easy find after looking for a little bit, just remember to have a longer look if you can’t find it. You’ll find it soon enough.

Log to wet to write in

Had another look at this one and found it really fast - log was a little wet

I like the statue. A great job of making a deceased politician look like an ordinary man. And instead of Sir Thomas, and all the letters that follow his name, it’s just done with Tom. All this and cherries too. I must find out more about him.

The cache was found between passing cyclists getting their breath back after ascending from Adelaide. There is no need to destroy the wall.

Thanks for the hide Lofty Reasons.

TFTC, it's a great hiding place

My plans for a big day of caching turned out to be rather cold and wet. So it was great pleasure that I found this one - opposite the Scenic Hotel. After finding the cache and signing, I didn't pass up the chance to have a sherbet at the Hotel which was pretty nice under the circumstances.

Thanks for bringing me here, LoftyReasons.

A spring afternoon with rain, thunder and some amazing lightning, was spent eating at a nearby establishment with my dearest muggle friend. After the beautiful meal we headed into the little park to find this cache. A magical day

Found in first place that I looked. A disrespectful bird has crapped on Tom's head. Thanks Lofty Reasons for placing cache. ps Log on quite wet.

Checked this cache as @Anime3splat had found it before.. definitely not where it was before

Funny start although it is disappeared.

Probably remove by bad weather

TFTC!

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache in a good hide.

Thanks

Great Fun Really Enjoyed

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

Found with vj187. TFTC

Thanks for a quick stop, once we found a park that is. Will have to come back and check out the hotel.

Thanks

Thanks for arranging and hiding. Caching with Wollaston and SeasonedBird. Now off to the Scenic hotel for lunch

I loved this one!!!
Very smart place good luck cashers!!

Easy

Found 11/10/2021

Couldn't find it

Very confusing location could not find it

Found but not in place. Replaced in a suitable spot. Dropped tb.

Great job

Very easy find TFTC

The old container would have been for this archived multi cache which ended up here: https://coord.info/GCYRDX

Cache now back in action!

New container. New log book. Same location.

Very oddly, discovered an old cache container (going back over 8 years) in the leaves on the slope above GZ! I've included a photo of an entry in a 'new' log book from that old cache container.

Dropped by GZ this evening. From a quick search, the container seems to be missing (unless it's been relocated). Either way, I'll schedule a more thorough search in due course, and if needed, I'll replace the container.

Due to bad weather

After a walk at Morialta, took the opportunity to head up to Norton Summit for a stout and bowl of hot chips. Checking the phone and I saw this was 50m from where I was sitting. When time to go home headed across to find this one and found it lying in the open in the centre of the park. Replaced where the clue suggested it should be, but that might not be the original location. TFTC

Found during my bike ride to Norton Summit !

Our first one ever, nice and close to home. Kids loved it.

Great spot after walking along the Yurrebillla track.

Thank you! Our very first geocache!

Very good spot but still found it

This evening after work, I was keen on completing the remaining *Something for Everyone* (SFE) challenge series, and so along the way, I visited a few other geocaches in the vicinity. I managed to see a few kangaroos about trying to feed as it approached dusk. It was a nice evening actually after it had been a warm day, so I enjoyed the solo geocaching spout, and helping to clear this area off my geocaching map.

This Norton Summit cache was my first this evening, and as the timing so happened, I bumped into [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) who was cycling up/down Norton Summit Road. We had a chat about the current COVID-19 events and what impacts this was having, and as we did so, I found the telltale sign of this geocache hide. A nice little park with interesting information/statue, so very worthy of a geocache placement here. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks LoftyReasons for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

On the way to dinner we made a short stop here and read the information. Quickly found the cache thanks to the hint. Thanks from Switzerland.

A nice little casting and we were really impressed with the nearby plaque [^] - 'His Premiership showed that strong leadership, total probity and frugal management are at the heart of good government. In the end many people neither knew or cared to which Party he belonged. They simply trusted Tom Playford to do his best for South Australia.'

Thanks LoftyReasons.

Found after a nice rest. TTFC

Yay

Found without any difficulty, looking forward to lunch!

Ah ha

Rode up Norton after work with a mate, found the cache thanks to the hint

Found it easy

Nice little find

After a 8 hour hike from Bridgewater this was a nice reward

Stopped to use the nearby facilities and thought I would place a Church Micro at the church. Found a great spot and then thought I should check to see what was in the area. This cache 8 away. So instead of placing a cache I found a cache. Took a while to locate but got it in the end. Cross with self now that I forgot to take a picture of the statue. TFTC

Thanks lofty reasons for this cache. I took a great deal of time to try and pin point where this was before checking rocks. It would be easy to see how hiding a cache behind a rock would make normally conservative ppl deconstruct a wall. Managed to find it, it’s in good condition. Placed a rock marker on the ground near it

A remarkable man, buried in the nearby Norton Summit Cemetery. TFTC

TFTC. Found at the start of my 2019 Heysen Trail walking season on a wet and foggy day

After finishing Uni for the afternoon and needing a few finds for the day, I decided to head out and pick up a few of the SFE Challenges. Some were qualified for, some were not, but those will be ‘Found’ later. Despite the grey clouds overhead, it was still an enjoyable afternoon, with all caches found in good condition.
