Great walk to it

What a cool place to explore! TFTC!!South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - MEGA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!

Appreciating the safe bridges over those intimidating deep tail race channels!

TFTC! Few quick finds before heading home

Found on a walk with my wife

????????????It was such a nice walk to find this cache. We decided to complete the circuit rather than walk ???????? to the reserve. The bird song in this area was beautiful.

Have looked for this before but this time a quick find

That was a bit of an adventure, the tunnel then the swing bridge! Not a swing bridge fan, but this one was quite solid without much swinging, but I still didn't linger on it.
We first found the decoy stone in an obvious location, then found a bigger stone on the other side of the track and there was the cache. TFTC.

#22973. Quick find on our loop walk. TFTC.

Quick easy find. TFTC

After Mums Jury Service was cancelled we had the afternoon free so we came out to check on a handful of cards and then here to check on this one. We had brought a replacement but had a look for the log anyway as we actually found it last time. No luck today so we used the one we brought with us. All good to go here again. Happy Caching

Found parts of the container & lid, container broken in half & no log found . Unfortunately didn't have a container to replace it with. Beautiful start to the walk

Container broken and not in place. We put back what we could but in need of repair

Walking the loop track after finding the AdLabs. I missed this one as I headed to the dam as I was on the other App.
So this was my last find before heading back over the swing bridge.

A quick walk about the loop to grab some caches. Quiet a traditionally style of cache this. Placement and on a bush walk

Nice easy find thanks gracie7 + Mum

I have been caching around Nelson Creek a few times now and I've been wanting to do this walk but havent had time. We did today and it was worth it. Nice easy find, thanks gracie7 + Mum

Easy find with Cympull. TFC

Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches.
Found with Fisha1288
Cheers, Cympull.

Checked with the family (LMA&J + their Mum, Ray and Isabelle) while here to do the new Adventure Lab. We decided to do the whole loop which we hadnt done since 2019.
Still All good here. Happy Caching

We came out and checked all 56 cards today. With a small side trip in here to check on this one.Mums eagle eyes spied the cache less than 2m away from GZ. So we removed the geotrash and placed the container back to where it should be. All good here. Happy Caching

Had a look at the start of the loop with no luck and once I consulted the description I was confident it was gone....yeah nothing..didnt have a spare container but I did have a zip lock bag and paper so have put under rock at the obvious place...if the next cacher has a spare container that would be great..tftc

Needs a container..as per log..

Thanks for the maintenance and keeping this cache alive awesome area .well Done

I love the beech forests, so different to home. The tunnel and swing bridge were so much fun. Thanks for the placement Gracie7 +mum

What a magical day for a walk around - parked up at the Reserve for the night - TFTC

This was the main excuse for today maintenance mission. Clearly the cache was missing so we brought a ready replacement. All good here again. Happy Caching

No cache, sorry

Found a perfect place but no cache. Nek minnit we get a retrospective find from COs. Good on you Gracie7 + mum. Great work and much appreciated. Thanks.

No luck today.

Saw a telltale pile of stones but no cache in sight. Looked at other possible location again no cache. Then checked the online photos and one matched the first spot checked. We think it is no longer there.

Next time.......

Easy find as uncovered, covered better after signing. TFTC

Great to be back on this track again. - Thanks Bitsprayer

Visiting from Northland and haven’t geocached for a while...but...once you have geocaching eyes sometimes a cache just jumps out at you. TFTC

First of many today, I hope

Happy Birthday Mum.

A quick find while exploring the Nelson Creek reserve. Thanks!#6608

Poor reception but managed to download and find one cache. Forgot a pen so left another wee momentum of our find.
Managed to get lost on a simple walktrack

Mrs St was walking ahead, and saw what to her was an obvious cache hide.

we investigated further and indeed it was.

It was not in our gps, but we needed to make a wpt so we could work out which one we had found, so the gps was indeed used.

cheers and thanks for putting all these caches out,
S.t.

Easy find chur

quick find thanks.

This was my second find of the afternoon. I have never done this short walk before so it was really nice to see a bit of the area. Nice quick find. Cheers

I parked my snail shell in the Nelson Creek Reserve yesterday . So today before the forecasted showers came I decided to do the 3 caches across the bridge and the one by the river in the Reserve.

When I got to the bridge I had a deja vu moment in that I had been here before about 2.5 years ago. So it was nice coming back again.

Cheers for the cache.

I enjoyed this walk and exploring the area. A bonus there were a couple of caches along the way! Thanks for the hide.

Thanks Gracie and mum. Beware of wasp's...

Nice location!

Taking the back road to home and time for a wander around Nelsons Creek. Loved the tunnel! Cheers

We decided to come for a wee walk to see if we could find the caches that had been placed since we were last in the area. This was a nice quick find in the first place we looked. It was a bit spidery so I asked GK to get it out for me. I signed the log and then he returned it as we had found it. We were surprised that we were only the second visitors to this cache
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley

FTF with Hazedarus.
We fully expected that these new caches here may have been found even if not logged yet so it was an extra bonus to find a blank log.
This bridge is a lot more stable than it looks, thankfully!
We had no problem finding this cache, the local wildlife had already exposed it so we added more camo after signing the log.
This is a lovely track and it's my first time walking it from this direction, thank you gracie7 + Mum for the encouragement to do so and thanks for the cache too.

FTF With Holymu. We've found caches around here before but were drawn into the area a bit more this time. Close to GZ and not sure if we should turn left or right I decided to make it easier on Holymu and go where the cache wasn't... On our travels further along this track we got some extra camo to weka proof the cache some more after completing the loop. Thank you gracie7 + Mum and the Team.
