Bisoutje and I are on a 4-week roadtrip with a campervan between Cairns and Adelaide and have now finally arrived in Adelaide. We spend our 2 full days here exploring the city with help from the Geocaching map. We enjoyed looking for Geocaches in and around the city, both virtually and physically. We especially enjoyed finding old caches of which there are a lot here.This was a quick find, with a bit of luck in the 2nd grab. We did not drop the cache .TFTC!

Found today with master Alfie, the newest member of the Ben and Bon team. Time for name update! We almost gave up but after a little more searching with something other than our eyes, we soon had the cache in hand! Don't drop it in the water, Mum! Alfie reminded me!

My 3 boys couldn't find it anywhere... They were wondering if perhaps someone didn't read the title and accidentally dropped it.

Tftf

Yes

Thanks very easy no boat required

Out for a stroll around North Adelaide and trying to find a few geocaches.No problems here.

Quick find

Last cache of the day and nice old one for me and my grid. A lot of toing and froing and heading down to GL to look up (nope my eyesight aint that good) I spotted a possible help from a recent dog-based pic. As my baseline I widened the search in a tactile manner (thought I'd checked there before etc etcz0 and had the lidless cache found and su=signed. Didn't drop it, followed instructions well.A mish-mash of a day today as a couple of my group (me included) realised that our trip to Adelaide would be extended for up to a week, oh no, quel domage. So I headed out early doors for a few early morning picks down Mawson Lakes way. Then had a coffee and chat to farewell a colleague, then afterwards was a trip into the city to pick off a few low-hanging fruit. I filtered my app to Wherigo, Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache and Virtual but flicked on Traditionals and off depending on where I was etc. A great day to get some awesome, and popular, caches under my belt. As ever, the appreciation to the COs is most genuinely respected.

Out with Tankengine and Dty73 and Aquilas picking up this one after a visit to goal. Kutgw

Thanks team Freddo for old one. Nice to see such an old one still going. interesting old bridge. Found with some new friends from the leap day mega.

I had never geocached in South Australia before, and with a Mega event on offer, I thought I would pop in to my neighbours for the day. Took the first flight in from Melbourne and the last flight out. Got back to Melbourne just before midnight of this leap day 2024.My plan was to walk Adelaide collection as many types of possible, oldies, Virtuals, Earthcaches, and most importantly, my first Webcam. From the airport to the event, collecting caches on the way. Then, he chatted with friends at the Mega before walking to the heart of Adelaide. The city was busy, and I bumped into a number of geocachers, my locals, interstate cachers, and at the webcam, a Norwedish group of geocachers. Cheated on the way back to the event and took public transport, but did walk the 5 kilometres back to the airport for my return flight home.I was pleased that I got at least 1 of every type, most of the oldies I wanted, and walked over 20 kilometres. Maybe I should have had a sports watch on recording the steps. Thanks to everyone for a great adventure.After visiting the nearby Jail, this was next on my list. The good coordinates helped make this a quick find between trains.Thanks for the cache, Freddo.Hunter

Day 3 of our trip and today is Mega Leap Day!Tankengine, Youban, Aquilus1 and I started at the Mega then went off to find a few caches, have lunch with family, did a bit of sightseeing, visited the hospital (all ok there), an event and home. All in all a good day. It was fun running into people we had never met and people we meet only at Megas. We found some great caches and saw some cool stuff. This cache: We parked at the end of the road and made the short walk to GZ, where after a little searching the cache was found. Tftc!!!

I'm in SA for the leap day Mega, some caching and a restful 5 day holiday. Let's see how that rest goes in the middle of so much new caching grounds!!! Today is Adelaide day, and the Mega.after a little solo caching this morning, met up with many others at the Mega before heading out with dty73, Tankengine and youban.( and handyone).I love old caches so it was great to get this one on my list. Took a short search but found soon enough.

EnglishWe are six Norwegians on a trip to Australia and New Zealand. We arrived in Melbourne at the beginning of February and are traveling home after the mega event in Adelaide. We travel by car and Geocaching helps us discover many nice places and often helps to decide where we choose the route between our goals which are: Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Dunedeen, and Adelaide. This is one of the caches we found on the trip and we thank you for showing us this place. We who are on tour have the nicknames: MrVonsr, ingsve, EllenSch and TeamEika. And signs the logs with N4.Great thanks for showing us and doing our tour wonderful NorwegianVi er seks nordmenn p tur i Australia og New Zealand.

Endelig har jeg og MrVon sr kommet oss ned til Australia og New Zealand, -en gammel drm er gtt i oppfyllelse. Team Eika og Ingsve har ogs reist i flge med oss p denne turen. Vi har reist p kryss og tvers i en mned, og mlet er ende opp i Adeleide og megaevent p skuddrsdagen. Vi har spesielt sett etter gamle cacher, for fylle jasmern, for et par stykker, og for oss to andre som har begynt tenke p gjennomgang to.De aller fleste dukket greit frem p plassene sine,noen ganger mtte vi lete litt, men var som regel heldige tilslutt. Noen DNFer ogs ble det ogs.Vi har for det meste logget med fellesnicket N4 (ingsve,Von sr. TeamEika og Ellen Sch) men ogs egne nicknavn er brukt.En stor takk til alle dere COer for utlegg og vedlikehold av cachene deres. Uten deres arbeid, hadde vi aldri kunnet kost oss med denne hobbyen.Alltid hyggelig med et nytt smilefjes p kartet.Cachehilsen fra Ellen Sch, NorgeMe and MrVon sr have come down to Australia and New Zealand, -an old dream has finally come to an end. Team Eika and Ingsve have also traveled with us on this trip.We have been traveling cross-country for a month, and the goal is to end up in Adeleide and mega-event on the leap year. We have especially looked for old caches, to fill jasmer'n, for a couple of pieces, and for the other two of us who have started to think about reviewing more.The vast majority of them showed up at their places, sometimes we had to search a bit, but we were usually lucky in the end. There were also some DNFs.We have mostly logged in with the common nickname N4 (ingsve, Von sr. TeamEika and Ellen Sch), but our own nicknames are also used.A big thank you to all you CO's for laying out and maintaining your caches. Without their work, we would never have been able to make a living with this hobby.Always nice to have a new smiley face on the map.Cache greetings from Ellen Sch, Norway

Caching from WA west coast to SA for the leap year mega. TFTC. Took a little while but then I extended my search.

We arrived a little early and decided to visit a few nearby caches. TFTH and fun!

Found whilst in Adelaide for the mega on 29 Feb, The Great Leap Forward. Quick find at GZ with Sleepy_hollow. There is no lid on the container but the contents are all dry. I did nearly drop the cache though, given the type of hide that it is! Lovely views of the river. TFTC!

Finally time to be in Adelaide and we arrived a few days early. We set up camp in Walkerville and settled in for a few days.Today we joined forces with Robmc and headed towards and into the city on the bikes. A day of mixed fortunes but this was one of our successful finds. It was a big day of riding and caching and we were pretty tired at the end of it all.We didn't - but we felt the pressure.A beautiful day to be out riding along here. Thanks for showing us the sights.

The second day in Adelaide with The Morris. We again took the deadly treadlies and this time headed south along the Torrens.We didn't drop the cache, but I have to say if you use a boat, your would need very long arms!Thanks, Robmc.

The SQUIRM team has travelled from Brisbane for the MEGA. We are here for a week and a bit of Fun, Fringe and caching.Today sees us tackling some caches in and around the city area, we'll try not to get too distracted on the way in. Thanks for the cache

Day 3 of Team SQUIRMs adventures around South Australia and today we are staying close to home, checking out Radelaide. We have finally crossed the city bounds! Couldnt go past a 2002 cache. Once all the runners went past we could look at Peppa made the find. Tftc FreddoFind #5421

The second full day in Adelaide for Six Queenslanders Unsupervised In Radelaide MegaingLast night we got to watch a couple of half naked cowboys demonstrating unicorn sex interspersed with some circus acts Fringe Festival Today its back to caching and its all about oldies, desirable D/Ts, rarer cache types and anything else that we stepped over on the way past with a plan to concentrate on the City we still managed to cache from Mile End, West Croydon, North Adelaide, Unley, Linden Park & Anstey HillI believe time could be made to allow to sit here and watch the passing paradeA very successful and entertaining day spent hooning around in Stacey with absolutely no questionable driving or parkingAll logs stamped SQUIRM Thanks Freddo Find #10882

TFTC!

Found it! Pretty tricky

Great, found it between the mail, sick cache.

Was in this area with a bit of free time so went for a nice walk and found 3 traditionals and a virtual.A few minutes of careful searching and had it in hand. Don't drop the cache, don't drop the cache, don't drop the cache, don't drop the cache, don't drop the cache, don't drop the cache.......was relieved to have it safely returned!Was lucky enough to see the Indian Pacific go past while on the bridge.TFTC

Day 2 of my trip to Adelaide with barb2e. By now we had arrived at our CITO and I joined up with Muff to wander further afield to pick up some more rubbish. We ended up at GZ. I am amazed that this hasn't ended up in the water and terrified that I could be the culprit. All was achieved successfully and the log now bears our names. TFTC Freddo the Frog.

Arrived in Adelaide on a hot afternoon with Smittengranny. Checked into my accommodation and then we headed off to the CITO and collected a few other caches in the area. Tftc

That was a sneaky one TFTC!!!

Found on a stroll around after uni to grab a few caches while the weather is nice. Quick shoelace trick and put my hand right on the cache. Very quick sign and left as found. Cheers.Find #6348 on 20 Oct 2023.TFTC Freddo!SAs Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - Feb 29th, 2024. Keep the date free!

TFTC & Greetings from

I almost knocked it into the water while searching, almost dropped the pen while signing, and I was paranoid about dropping the phone or GPS. A nice find whilst out on the bike this afternoon whilst targeting traditionals out the northern side of the city. TFTC!

Harder than expected but luckily the coords were fine so all dignedcand returned to its rightful spot.

Took me longer than it should have. TFTC

TFTC. A bit tricky to find, so persevere!

The views from here are amazing. TFTC!

Found it

Didn’t drop it

Bridged it

Was about to give up and then accidentally touched it! And yes, we didn't drop the cache.

Too hard for us!

TFTC. Lovely little spot.

DNF. Too hard to find .

??

Find 11 of 18 on a busy caching day in central Adelaide then out to Mount Lofty, first by a combination of e-scooter and urban walking, then later lots of up and down hiking.

Our fingers did the walking here, and managed not to fumble it. All good here.

TFTC Freddo!

Out for an evening wander and looking for some caches along the way. Took the walkway up to the posted GZ and it felt like train after train (and the occasional plane) were passing by. Took me a few minutes to work out where to look (d'oh). Cache not dropped! TFTC Freddo

TFTC @Freddo the Frog
Another greasy hide & find

Tftc, went below thinking it be under the bridge. Definately not!

Beautiful park, nice spot. When you put it back, make sure which side got magnet.

Quick grab on a Thursday afternoon

Great Cache, was nervous putting it back but didn’t drop it, TFTC

Didn’t find looked high and low, lots of spider web hands but no cache

Tftc

Spent a while searching high and low.. all I found were cobwebs. Beautiful view though

After visiting son in RAH I took a leisurely stroll to this cache. Cache all ok. Great view of river and train going by.
TFTC

Cache not dropped. Got some steps in today with this cache. Up and down until got it

Tftc took a while

Cache not dropped

No problem here. Cache is sitting there waiting to be found.

Checked a few spots for 10 minutes. Used fingers and found many spider webs but no cache. Sad face.

Lots of web but no cache. Is it in the water?

Thanks for leading us to this wonderful spot! A lovely relaxing walk before heading back to work. We found another cache container nearby but it didn't say which geocache it was for. I guess we will just have to wait and see! TFTC! Sabo + JJ

Stunning views in the morning from this location. Quick find while doing a reconnaissance walk looking for a good place to launch my kayak.

Thanks for the cache Freddo the Frog.
