Found while out on a mountain bike ride with BJD80 today. It was a very hot day and looking for caches gave me a much needed rest. BJD80 solved the puzzle and I spotted the Yellow.TFTC

One last cache before leaving the park, bringing the cost per cache on this adventure to less than $2; an absolute bargain. I noted this cache last night and was delighted to find it eminently solvable. I was still in England in 1967 and remember the song well. SpiderMonkeysMum accompanied me to this cache - she had already found this cache a few minutes earlier, and saved me the trouble of having to check all four options. The cache is in good condition, why are there no natural yellow ones?Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Freddovan.

It took much less time to solve this puzzle than to get rid of the earworm - that persisted for most of the remainder of the day. We had to widen the search area, but the hide location was obvious. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks, Freddo, for the puzzle and cache.

Found it

Myself and OZGrumpy had already solved this one, Jolly0 solved on the way to the cache, and fittingly was the one to find this yellow mint tin. It’s different to mine though in all it’s painted glory.

aka “the coloured mint tin by the sea people”

Thanks Freddo for placing this cache and for the ongoing maintenance. Find #8798 on 22/7/2023 at 9:53 am

An outing in the park. Nice. Pretty chilly here this morning. Found in the fourth one attempted, with doineedthis and jolly0
 
22-Jul-23
After a delicious breakfast with a dancing banana and a few cachers it was off with doineedthis and OZGrumpy to find a few caches and a challenge or two before heading to the second event for the day.
My first Mystery solved on the road, literally on the road as we walked through the bush.
Why do you always find something in the last place you look??

I solved this one a few days ago while I'm in my 'puzzles aren't so scary after all' phase. Today I was in Belair and the time had come to reap the rewards. I followed my GPS for a bit before putting it away and adopting a mellow yellow mindset. TFTC!

Came to Belair today for the Walking Expo on the main oval.

Im sure there were lots of closet Geocachers there.

Collected this cache down the road.

It was all yellow.

I sent the afternoon in and around Belair National Park, enjoying the sunshine and finding geocaches.
Warm weather so the sunscreen was on nice and thick. This was my first time geocaching inside Belair National Park so there were plenty of caches within walking distance to keep me busy.
I parked outside and took off on foot. Lots of good quality caches found. A couple required an extended search but the vast majority weee found without problems.

Thanks for the cache Freddovan.

Another Tuesday treking adventure with Mattycat, today saw us around Belair NP for most of the day before picking up a couple south of the city on our way home, a nice day weather wise for a stroll in the park this was exacly where we thought it would be as we neared GZ, a fun little puzzle

We came for a Sunday walk hoping to reverse our previous DNF - we looked in the same places and found it first place we looked. Was it there last time, or were we just blind. I suspect the latter! TFTC

Probably not smart enough to figure this out

Found in the first place Owl looked. Love it when you are mellow enough to make that happen!

I had picked up Doctor Owl while her car was being attended to and we made a plan to grab a few new caches around the area with the aim of collecting a few in Belair National Park as it was a beautiful day to be out in nature. [^]

This one had been solved as soon as it was published but today was the first time I have been here since. Doctor Owl put her hands on the cache before I even made it to GZ. Surprised

Thanks for the cache Freddo. Smile

Found in the last place I looked (which wasn't the first place I looked) - quite nicely.

Sunday walk in Belair with the geo-pup. Thoroughly searched all 4 yellow ends as far the arm would reach, but no banana for us today.

Found It!
I solved this one soon after it was published but it wasn't until today's $12 caching trip that I went past GZ. A quick find in a very yellow location!

Finally allowed myself a full day caching but started it off with an unexpected sleep-in. Then started the caching a couple of hours later with an equally unexpected BFE FTF.
After that great start headed south with the bike for a ride around Belair National Park. The main aim were the two new AdLabs but managed to find eight physical caches as well and this was one of them.
Thanks to Freddo for placing this cache for us all to find

This morning I headed up to Belair National Park to find a few caches with FeatherWaite. The aim was to start early, then head home again as the day got warmer.

This puzzle had been solved a while ago, but today was the first chance I’ve had to look for the cache as Belair is a place I rarely visit. It was a quick find at GZ.

Thanks Freddo for the puzzle and the cache.

Spent a coolish windy morning hiking around Belair National Park with e.gregory1 finding caches along the way. Solved this puzzle a few days ago in preparation for the trip. Thanks for the puzzle and cache Freddovan!

Travelled through the city dodging potential hot spots as we went... can't afford time off right now lol. With Jack and Sebastbat.
Came for a bit of peace and tranquility in the Belair park... and it was full of picnickers, hikers, all sorts of random bods Surprised Luckily the caches we sought were mostly away from the crowds Big Grin

Totally appreciated a nice mellow puzzle we could solve without a drinking problem...
but even if you paint it pretty colours... it's still an mint tin SmileSmileSmile

Much thanks to Freddo for placing this cache on the SA map, even mint tins are smileys Cool

Out every day locating and logging using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, 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 WinkCoolBig Grin Quite a bit of that!!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

Please do stay safe when caching.
Keep a lookout for bogs, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]

Ensure that Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on Big Grin
Now our borders are open - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


We do really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting Cool

Solved this puzzle not long after it came out, it took me a little while but I suddenly had a moment of inspiration and the final coordinates were soon in hand. Then it sat in my gps waiting for a day that I was in the Belair National Park and chasing caches. With today being a nice sunny day and a day where I was wanting a few finds, I ventured into the park in search of caches. Parking near gz, I immediately knew where I was looking and had the cache in hand almost straight away. The log was signed, the cache was replaced, and I was on my way.

Mr Tardis solved this close-to-home puzzle long ago.

Today I was in the area this afternoon for a family and friends gathering. Knowing there were a couple of caches nearby, now could I not take a group of young kids on a treasure hunt?

Found in the second place we looked.

Thanks for the cache Freddovan.

This is one which I solved shortly after it came out. I rode past GZ with my riding group a number of times but we never stopped. And then riding past this last time I was alone. So I stopped and chose wisely.

Thanks for another mellow cache Freddo Smile

Out for a walk with the Geowife.

As we approached this one it was obvious where it would be, so you'd think.

After 10 minutes of searching I finally checked a spot I'd checked a few times below and found it.

Lot's of people around today and that'll be my excuse.

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February. Red Face
Then came Covid-19 and now caching will have to take a back seat or be socially responsible. Twisted
No more than one or two people and target caches that haven't been visited in some time. Cool

I had a total of just 6 caches left to find in Belair National Park. Anymules had 11 caches left. So we trekked about 12 kms through the park, up hill, down hill, around hill and visited 13 so in the end we both had none left to find. Even managed a couple just outside the Park. A great day for a long, long walk in nature. Razz

The camo was so good that I missed it and started to walk across the road to the other side. Surprised Luckily the Mule was not fooled and soon had the cache in hand.

I'm just mad about mint tins
A-mint tin's mad about me
I'm-a just mad about mint tins
They're just mad about me

Lol Big Grin i can't believe when i first looked this puzzle i was stumped [Clown face most definitely inserted here] It was about 10 minutes later i realized something and i quickly had a green light on the checker... phew, any longer and I would have definitely deemed myself a complete and utter Dunce!! [:o)]….. there's still hope for me yet Big Grin

Today up this way after grabbing many a distant WP's for a Mitcham Multi, i was quickly at this one's final GZ [^] and signing the log.

A puzzle that I quickly solved when it first came out. However, I wasn't in any hurry to rush to this one, so it had been in my to find list since then.

This evening, I teamed up with [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) to find a few more geocaches in Belair National Park. We each had been here a few times before finding caches, but hadn't explored some of the more further away locations from the front gate, so those were targeted, in particular a few harder Zytheran puzzles that were more adventures than anything. A few sections were targeted, and once the light began to fade, we disappeared before the front gate was locked, and made our way into the city to attempt a FTF. It turned out that we were not first, but the field puzzle was still underway, that we were allowed to join for a five way tie. A fun Valentine's Day evening out and about.

This turned out to be a quick find as there was only ever two places that this cache could be. I took one side, while [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) took the other. It turned out to be on [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY)'s side. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Freddovan aka. [@Freddo](http://coord.info/PR8C14) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Today I planned a walk in Belair. Not been to this park and TBH wasn’t that impressed the other hills parks are much nicer.
It was a great day for a big walk and I did 20000 steps and 70 floors. The walk was enjoyable and I was pleased to find 10 caches all up including 4 froggy caches and 3 unknowns that I have wanted to pick up for a while.
Not too many people out and about today.
Nice straightforward puzzle that even I could solve. Didn’t need to get my phone out of my pocket when I approached GZ there were only a few places this one could be. It was all mellow!! TFTC Freddo

Evening caching with the CO himself. Thanks for the hide.
 
19-Jan-20
This fellow felt mellow after firstly solving a D1.5 puzzle by himself and then finding the yellow fellow in the first spot that was searched. A rainy evening walk in Belair was a refreshing exercise after the dry and the heat over the past few months. Happy also to score a bronze too, even though the cache has been published for over a month. Thanks Freddo!
 
11-Jan-20
A solo Saturday ‘cleaning up’ the current lab caches and a few mysteries around the place.

Stop 4 was reached after finally finishing the firemen lab adventure.

Approaching the cache it wasn’t hard to figure out where the possible hiding spots could be. I checked all 4 only to go back to the first spot I checked which upon closer inspection housed the cache. Surprised to see that I was only the second name in the book!

Feeling quite mellow I continued on my quest.

I said to the Park Ranger "Egad that sun's hot"
To which he replied "Well you shouldn't touch it"

The yellow thing is not mellow today. It bites.

We assume the park will be empty apart from all the Englishmen taking their mad dogs for walkies.

Given half the country is in drought, refer to the Urban Dictionary for a water-saving tip...
If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.

Dropped my *FTF* geocoin through at 1030hrs after a $12 saving walk of 500m each way before this non-Englishman fried... or went mad...
