Sadly I'm going to have to concede defeat here. Looked for a while on my hands and knees... but only the ants can claim victory today.
Would love someone to confirm it's still there.
Absolutely loved the hidden wetland though, Thanks Lava 12

Sorry, I can’t repair or replace it because I have moved. It is time to go. Thanks for finding my cache in the past. Lava
Parked up and made my way on to find this cache, took a bit to find but got there in the end
Today with the CITO being south I decided to do half a days caching in the southern suburbs to clean up a few unfound. Interesting to see the areas that I haven’t been to before.

Another good day for a cache... who am I kidding, every day is a good day for a cache!
Certainly a hidden place. Many would drive past and never know
Grass is getting long. Glad to find before it gets too warm [:o)]
Thanks for putting this one out there Lava12

Usually Geocaches are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S20+, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck!

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins... but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]
Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on
We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about especially away from the city crowds,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Put the bike on the back and headed south for some caching today.
Started with a short walk into the Onkaparinga River Recreation Park for 2, including a FTF.
Then parked in Hackham West and headed off on the bike. Found another 11 before a sidestand malfunction led to a flat tyre in Onkaparinga Hills and a 4K walk back to the car during which another 2 were found.
Then on the way home, well after dark, another 3 were found.
Couldn't quite get the bike to this one but not far short.
Thanks to Lava12 for putting out this cache for me to find.

This place is well hidden . Pity about the fence - no swimming or yabbying for the kids around here 
. Interesting how there's direct access to the expressway though [xx(].

Thanks again Lava12.

Found after replacing a couple of my. Caches nearby a nice little wetland, was surprised not to see any birds in or around the water.

Girlfriend and I couldn't find it, spiky bushes and lots of big ants nearby were part of the reason, or it might not be there anymore
Found it discarded in prickle bushes a few metres from the obvious hiding spot. Back in place now TFTC
Near a very prickly bush, beautiful evening walk with ANDYTAKK and buzzie1950. Tftc
Out foodshopping at coles colonnades havent done night caching for a while nice for a change

After the Breakfast Club 3 I headed out where the gps took me to find some caches. After about 25 finds headed home. Found a nice variety of hides but ended up with very wet and cold feet due to all the wet grass and knee high sour sobs.
Almost at the next milestone and streak still alive.
This little wetland really is well hidden! TFTC Lava

Found in the dark, in the rain, in bare feet. Only turned the torch on when i was less than 10 meters away. I think i woke up the ducks in the pond. quick find.
Had a bit of spare time this afternoon on my way home so I thought I would stop off and find a few of the new caches that have popped up close to home. [^]
You would never know that this wetland was here as you whizz past on the Expressway and the ducks didn't seem to mind all the traffic noise.
Today I discovered the wetland and the ducks as I went in search of a cache.
Thanks for bringing me here Lava.

There are multiple ways of getting to this one. I think I picked the most difficult.
But it’s great to have yet another Lava12 smiley on my map.
Thanks for the cache Lava12.

I live not to far from hear and didn’t know that this pond was here. I grabbed the last spot on the podium after work today. TFTC Lava12
Noticed a notification while contemplating putting the bins out. This necessitates moving the car, so why not get a cache as well and a possible ftf. A ftf it was in an area I didn't know existed even though I've driven passed many times. My kind of hide! Thanks Lava12.
