Easy find, right where it said it would be. Got a big fright from a spider though

Hi azzo7777, I found Tree Madness #4 today. I am on my way between the Goulburn Valley in Victoria to McLaren Vale in South Australia. Collecting a few smilies on the way. Silly me, I was barking up the wrong tree!
Many thanks azzo7777 for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

A quick decision to take our granddaughter caching today. She had fun chasing the compass around until it finally settled and she spotted the cache.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I completed several things on my Saturday list, then headed south to grab some caches on a glorious sunny afternoon. I had solved a few puzzles in the area and was aiming to get to Willunga by the end of the day. This never eventuated, I underestimated how long some of the Cats and Dogs caches might take. Never mind, I still managed over 30 caches, the last one found in the dark using torch light, I miss DLS.
Thanks for the cache Azzo, cache in good condition. Find #6355 at 1.52pm

Out for an afternoon Cache with Geohubby Cachehunter and the Geopup Zoe. We were working through the OTD series but decided that the ground was much too hot for the pups paws and have changed to Driveby Caches, Last one for the day as the three of us are now ready to head home for some BBQ chook on the Weber yummo.
Cache was quickly found by Cachehunter as he looked from the right angle. Cache in is good condition. TFTC

Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the Geodog. This one could've had me searching for ages. Just managed to glance in the right spot at the right time and cache found. TFTC
Out for an afternoon of caching. Enjoyed working through a number of the Cats and Dog series! A detour for this one. Found quickly. TFTC!
Have been looking for a lot of cats and dogs caches in this area so had to think differently for a tree madness cache. And it worked!
Love the fresh egg shrine nearby too!

The usual Wednesday wanderings for the befuddled. The targets were the Azzo puzzles and any others that we went past. Thank you for the placement of the Tree Madness #4 cache azzo7777 find number 8423 on 1 September 2021 at 3:02 pm
It is that time of the week, when the befuddled geo animals go wandering.
The Adder collected the Rat, and the Starfish collected the Star gazer (Astro).
A quick find the quartet today.
A day full of laughs, stories and caches. Tftc

Time for another Wednesday Wander for some members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group. We had worked on the numerous recent puzzles put out by Azzo7777 and were going to have an Azzo down south day! So I picked up Astro, Blackadders picked up S.A. Sewer Rats and we met at a Puzzle to cram into the Electric Blue Geo-jalopy and headed out for an Azzo Day! Plans are what you make before life happens and we may have spent too much time stopping at other caches before we actually made it to the planned caches. Anyhow - these are the ones we stopped at! [B)]
More madness on the way home. A quick find for Astro here.
Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

One more of our list of Tree Madness caches, already noticed there is another close and handy we will grab when in the Maslins area next time. Geez great views from up on high, these lucky houses have a nice spot.
We like a music band called Madness
Madness are an English ska band from Camden Town, North London, who formed in 1976. One of the most prominent bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s two-tone ska revival, they continue to perform with six of the seven members of their original line-up. Madness's most successful period was from 1980 to 1986, when the band's songs spent a total of 214 weeks on the UK Singles Chart. (UB40 shared the same number of weeks, the largest for any British group in the decade, but over a longer period.)
Madness have had 15 singles reach the UK top ten, which include "One Step Beyond", "Baggy Trousers" and "It Must Be Love", one UK number one single "House of Fun" and two number ones in Ireland, "House of Fun" and "Wings of a Dove". "Our House" was their biggest US hit. In 2000 the band received the Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors for Outstanding Song Collection.
Although madness is something we would prefer not to have ...
mental disorder, also called a mental illness[3] or psychiatric disorder, is a behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning.[4] Such features may be persistent, relapsing and remitting, or occur as a single episode. Many disorders have been described, with signs and symptoms that vary widely between specific disorders.[5][6] Such disorders may be diagnosed by a mental health professional.
The causes of mental disorders are often unclear. Theories may incorporate findings from a range of fields. Mental disorders are usually defined by a combination of how a person behaves, feels, perceives, or thinks. This may be associated with particular regions or functions of the brain, often in a social context. A mental disorder is one aspect of mental health. Cultural and religious beliefs, as well as social norms, should be taken into account when making a diagnosis.
Services are based in psychiatric hospitals or in the community, and assessments are carried out by mental health professionals such as psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses and clinical social workers, using various methods such as psychometric tests but often relying on observation and questioning. Treatments are provided by various mental health professionals. Psychotherapy and psychiatric medication are two major treatment options. Other treatments include lifestyle changes, social interventions, peer support, and self-help. In a minority of cases, there might be involuntary detention or treatment. Prevention programs have been shown to reduce depression.
In 2019, common mental disorders around the globe include depression, which affects about 264 million, bipolar disorder, which affects about 45 million, dementia, which affects about 50 million, and schizophrenia and other psychoses, which affects about 20 million people. Neurodevelopmental disorders include intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders which usually arise in infancy or childhood. Stigma and discrimination can add to the suffering and disability associated with mental disorders, leading to various social movements attempting to increase understanding and challenge social exclusion.
Just a few fascinating facts. Thanks azzo for another in your series. Found, admired the view, signed the log and replaced cache as found.

Spent a glorious day kayaking from Cape Jervis to Blowhole Beach and back in lovely conditions on the water, then on the way back home dropped into a few caches around the Willunga area.

Combining geo-caching and hours of driving for our L plater geo-daughter seemed a match made in heaven! Nice easy drive by find. TFTC
Traveled down to the southern beaches for the afternoon with the main aim to find caches from Moana to Aldinga. The quest was successful, with a large blank area of that particular area now on my geocaching map. I enjoyed some nice beach walks, tracking along the clifftops and meandering through the scrub, with some nice easy finds, and some clever and challenging hides. Thanks for the cache azzo7777!
In Port Elliott today, great day for caching out to get a few near McLaren Vale before the heat hits later this week. TFTC
Another one in this series ticked off, the cache was easily found and is all good
Today I headed south to Aldinga and mclarenvale to go for a bike ride and decided to collect a few caches on my way down to the area. 35 finds for the day plus a few labs.

--------------------2020 - our caching curve has been flattened
! ! ! Time to get it into shape Please do keep sanitising often! Keep a safe Distance.
Exercise. Cache. Eat. Cache. Repeat. No dancing!
And do still stay home if you're sick, and get swabbed !
Support all of our SA regions by hiding many good new caches!
( especially around the Barossa/Light area please [:o)] )
and make sure your first aid kit is always stocked and in the car ! ! !
Tftc.. 2 children laughing at play on a strung up old rubber tyre... Not my kids so cant show you.... so lovely to hear shrieks
I decided to bump up my finds for 29th Feb, seeing as it doesn't come around often, so I headed down south from my home town and spent a day meandering around these areas and just enjoying the day.
Great weather, nice countryside and good caches. Thanks to all the owners, sorry but this is a blanket log.
Lots of scratches from the caches under the ever present bushes, lots of ants, lots of other things which made noises in the bush. I probably should be doing all this in winter - but that is no challenge
Some caches may have specific logs if they need attention, otherwise they were all found in good condition.Thanks for your caches and making my day an adventure.

So 2 years ago I set myself a personal challenge of getting a minimum of 10 finds on every calendar day. Of course Feb 29th was a slight issue so I made that my end date. Today was one of my last days to make a few finds. Thanks for placing this cache and helping me reach my goal.

Headed out for a bit of a caching afternoon to find some caches to fill vacant spots on various calendars and to keep my caching streak alive. Had 12 caches on the list but again ran out of enthusiasm mid way through the afternoon so ended up with just 6 for the afternoon.
This was find No2 for the afternoon and I think my first find of this series, seems I have many more to do! TFTC Azzo7777

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.
Based at Willunga house-sitting for a few weeks, a drive to McLaren Vale again today, to the info centre to get some camping info on Kangaroo Island. Took a long way round via California Road, caching on the way. Filling in the gaps on the map now.
Guinea fowl nearby were warning us off. Don't like Guinea Fowl! Thanks azzo for the hide and the series.

Caching with hevwalker on a chilly evening... sometimes wet and windy. We continued on into the evening clearing up some unfounds around South before the rain and cold got the better of us.
A quick find by hevwalker and a hasty retreat back to the warmth of the car.

I have been down to McLaren Vale a number of times in the past few weeks...it seems I just clear the area of caches and then more get published.
Today I was back down here to get a couple of new ones which will help with Streak Week, only one day to go.
This one took longer than it should have and it was only when looking from a different direction that I spotted the cache. [^]
