Spending the weekend down on the Fleurieu Peninsula to take a break from the city. Warm weather but it was enjoyable to explore new places while letting geocaching be my travel guide. A quick find in a nice and quiet little park. All good. Thanks for the cache Flying Reindeer.# # #14031 # #
On a short family vacation and decided to go for a bit of a stroll this afternoon. No problems with this one.
Staying for the weekend but its wet and overcast. We cant go swimming so we just HAVE to go caching. Met the friendly neighbours. Cache and log book OK. TFTC
A beautiful morning for a quick walk, hearing the sea, a nice park, and of course, a geocache. Thanks for placing and maintaining the cache.
Staying in Goolwa for a couple of days. Out doing some caching on the way to Victor Harbor. Nice to have some cache guardians here, neighbours over the back fence told me where it was. TFTC
Thankyou for the cache. I've been to Middleton a lot of times but never to this park. Good to see what is in the area. The park looks like a fantastic place for kids to play
Tftc. Returned now the cache has been replaced. Can tick this one off. Thanks for maintaining.
No luck today. Gz leaves little options for magnetic. All exhausted. Fear it has met with foul play.
A rare day off during the week for Anymules had us meeting up and heading south to the Hindmarsh Island through to Port Elliot area and then onto the Cox Conservation Park. Got to do a Lab Cache series as we walked around a colourful series and almost all were found in good condition although I did add another couple of DNFs to my ever growing list. ]
Looks like it might collect a lot of water when the rain pours down No wonder it is called Mozzie Park. No mozzies found us today as we found the cache.

A weekend away and some spectacular weather to boot, we decided to find a cache or two after dinner by torchlight dodging quite a few rabbits as we went, this one took a bit longer than it should have and trusted the GPS we searched what we thought was the obvious spot before checking the GPS realising we were a few meters off and once at the right GZ was a quick find

What started as a 1-nighter at Milang with my walking group turned out to be a further night's solo stay at Goolwaand drive on thru to the Vic .. just too many green faces needing attention. tftc
Not the best day for weather but nonetheless there’s always time for a cache. Nice park top it off!! TFTC
Nice spot. We stopped here for a cuppa on a bike ride then picked up this cache. Co-ordinates were 'spot-on' with my Etrex. Never did find the original cache in this park.

Checked a few places, then read the hint - which narrowed it down. Eventually found it. Not sure why it took us a while.
Enjoying walking around the streets of Middleton grabbing a couple more caches as we passed by.
Many thanks for the hide Flying Reindeer????

A nice and peaceful park here today, cache easily found and is all good
Today after doing some family stuff together I had a few hours spare to go caching around the local area. So set off and found roughly 20 caches.

Thanks flying reindeer for this hide. It is too good for me. My tenacity was heavily compromised with the 35 degree weather. I will return to try again one day.
We spent way too much time looking in the wrong spot which we assumed to be the right spot. Mrs Sandalwood Cottage widened the search to where she thought it might be but came up empty but after checking the other spot which she had discounted there it was. Could have been so easy to begin with.........TFTC
What a peaceful park tucked away, interesting landscaping of the grassed area, we are assuming it is to reflect the wave of the sea only on lawn instead. Only one barking dog from its balcony today, we were pretty happy our dog just ignored it as she has a much bigger bark, could have drawn a bit of attention.
We wondered if Mozza was because it was on Morrison Road or some other reference. We googled Mozza and only came up with Mozzarella as a search.
Fresh mozzarella is generally white but when seasoned it turns to a light yellow depending on the animal's diet. Due to its high moisture content, it is traditionally served the day after it is made but can be kept in brine for up to a week or longer when sold in vacuum-sealed packages. Low-moisture mozzarella can be kept refrigerated for up to a month, though some shredded low-moisture mozzarella is sold with a shelf life of up to six months. Mozzarella of several kinds is used for most types of pizza and several pasta dishes or served with sliced tomatoes and basil in Caprese salad.
Etymology
Mozzarella, derived from the Southern Italian dialects spoken in Apulia, Calabria, Campania, Abruzzo, Molise, Basilicata, Lazio, and Marche, is the diminutive form of mozza ("cut"), or mozzare ("to cut off") derived from the method of working. The term is first mentioned in 1570, cited in a cookbook by Bartolomeo Scappi, reading "milk cream, fresh butter, ricotta cheese, fresh mozzarella and milk". An earlier reference is also often cited as describing mozzarella. Monsignor Alicandri states that in the 12th century the Monastery of Saint Lorenzo, in Capua, Campania, offered pilgrims a piece of bread with "mozza".
Types
Mozzarella, recognised as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG/STG) since 1996 in the EU, is available fresh, usually rolled into a ball of 80 to 100 grams (2.8 to 3.5 oz) or about 6 cm (2.4 in) in diameter, and sometimes up to 1 kg (2.2 lb) or about 12 cm (4.7 in) diameter. It is soaked in salt water (brine) or whey, and other times citric acid is added and it is partly dried (desiccated), its structure being more compact. In this last form it is often used to prepare dishes cooked in the oven, such as lasagna and pizza.[
When twisted to form a plait mozzarella is called treccia. Mozzarella is also available in smoked (affumicata) and reduced-moisture, packaged varieties.[citation needed]
Ovolini refers to smaller-sized bocconcini, and sometimes to cherry bocconcini.
Variants
Several variants have been specifically formulated and prepared for use on pizza, such as low-moisture mozzarella, The International Dictionary of Food and Cooking defines this cheese as "a soft spun-curd cheese similar to Mozzarella made from cow's milk" that is "[u]sed particularly for pizzas and [that] contains somewhat less water than real Mozzarella"
Low-moisture part-skim mozzarella, widely used in the food-service industry, has a low galactose content, per some consumers' preference for cheese on pizza to have low or moderate browning. Some pizza cheeses derived from skim mozzarella variants were designed not to require aging or the use of starter. Others can be made through the direct acidification of milk.
Who knew there was so much to know about cheese!!
Thanks Flying Reindeer for another cache and bringing us to a lovely park. TNLNSL

We had the wrong idea at first, eventually went for the easier hide

We searched high and low, but must have been suffering from a sever dose of cache blindness.
With today's weather forecast to be pretty good compared to yesterday we decided to head on out. Weather was okay but pretty choppy still out on the water. Surfers loved it! We managed to grab a few caches out and about.
