By Team Waldron on 25-Aug-20. Waypoint GC8YWE3

Did the adlab ages ago. Finally found this one as part of my race to 1000 finds by Australia Day. Found 8 m west. Tftc

Found at 15:55 about 8m West of gz.Mixed this with another ad lab, making it a pleasant afternoon

Couldnt find it

Here's one to find today.Thank you for placing the cache Team Waldron.

Found while out and about with sir_spectre grabbing a few more smilies.Thanks

Found with Mogni. The lab was done over a few trips, just when were near one of the stages plus if we had the time. I really should place my adventure lab soon. quick find.

Awesome thank you for the cache. And all the visits involved

Enjoyed the Ad Lab & our time in SA. TFTC Team Waldron

Find it and sign the log as EV, and thanks for the cache and hunt.

We had all sorts of problems at one of the locations of the lab as we could not determine the answer Eventually, after going home and trying multiple combinations of words we got the tick for the missing location and completed the lab, but of course we were too far away to grab the bonus. That changed today as we visited a nearby park and GZ was close enough to make the short detour to finally turn this cache into a smiley. Thanks to an earlier log pointing out that we should be searching a bit further away from where the GPSr indicated GZ, we eventually located the prize in a bit more secluded location. TNLNSL TFTC

After attending today’s event nearby, I thought i’d complete this AL and bonus. The cache is as quickly found and is in good condition.

Thanks Team Waldron for the cache.

Check my log STRAIGHT AWAY! The part where i thought it was muggled is a theory OK?

After the breakfast event I decided to clear some DNFs before work.

Cache was quickly located this time around thanks to the previous log.

All is well here.

This brings Goldy's total find count to 1567.

Thanks Team Waldron for this cache.

Dara School DT group ( I was with them ) tried to find this, but no luck. Used the hint and checked again... still no luck. Maybe this has been muggled?

No luck, was with Dara DigiTech. You might want to check the spot, make sure it hasn’t been muggled. DolphinTiger56

After a great hike in the Sturt Gorge today I decided to 'swing' past the remaining lab adventure points and since the final was pretty close to the last lab I took the extra little detour to find the logbook.

Tftc Team Waldron

The coords are off in this one (well they were on my phone)…..found approx 11m NW

Didn't try because of its location and time of night

Quick find. Nice lab

Didn’t take too long to find after completing the adventure this morning! TFTC

After completing the interesting Marion Council Art Installation we had the coordinates for this bonus cache. It took a little hunting, finally finding the cache about 10m away from the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Team Waldron for the enjoyable Adventure Lab and the Bonus Cache.

Another day out in the big smoke, a warmish day hoping to keep the muggle factor down, set out for a full days caching with Mattycat and Sebastbat and this was one of the caches we tackled, finished this lab a while back now but in the area so made the detour to collect the bonus, quick find for us today
TFTC Team Waldron

Searched GZ for a few minutes, then read the logs and found 12m from listed coords

This was my first Adventure Lab, which I completed some time ago. Today was my third visit to GZ. Reading previous logs, I tried widening my search, and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the Cache and the Adventure Lab

Sunday afternoon drive on our 2022 mission to fill our Date Found grid.

Kept following until we found it, 12m from coords. Lovely day for a swim!

A fun wander around the district.

Due to a few van problems had to return to Adelaide for a couple of weeks before heading west. 16 November 2021 5:34 pm Tyfc Team Waldron total caches now 3216

Coords a bit out, a bit a cache creep perhaps, located it closer to the footpath end of the fence, sat on the rail to stamp log book before replacing. Found while caching with Wollaston and Liz&Bruce.

Thanks to the many hands and minds taking time to set out and maintaining hides and showing us your special part of the world

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird, Liz & Bruce. Another great day for caching. TFTC Team Waldron
Find #5771 at 19:20.

Thanks for arranging and hiding. Good to be having a look around the area.  Caching with Wollaston and SeasonedBird.

Found while touring through the southern suburbs after completing the Marion Council Art Installations Adventure Lab over two days. Nice hide and a quick find. Thanks for the Adventure Lab and bonus cache Team Waldron!

I have been slowly working my way through the adventure lab for this cache over the last few weeks, though I some how managed to get stuck on the last stage. After a sudden jolt of inspiration, I had the answer I required and had a plausible set of coordinates for the bonus cache; though I decided to leave it for another day where I needed a find. So, with that day being today, I made my way to gz and began my search in the obvious spot, and it was not to long before the cache was in hand. The log was signed, the cache was replaced and I was glad to finally found this cache.

Adelaide Trip. May 2021. Day 6. I spent the afternoon between Marion and Brighton today. Plenty of new caches since I was around here last, and 10 Labs to get as well. The nice weather after a few days of rain had the fore shore quite busy, but they did not stop my activities.

After visiting the various artworks, was happy to find this one despite everyone seeming to be home nearby.

Thanks for the cache Team Waldron

Out riding the bike while waiting to get my car serviced grabbing some caches and labs. TFTC

Mr Tardis was in the area, after attending a nearby event. I walked over to the co-ordinates and found the cache in the likely place.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Team Waldron.

It was with some difficulty I visually searched around the last waypoint of the lab. Hhhhmmmmm. If I couldn’t work that out I couldn’t get find this one. After a fair few laps of the playground the light finally came in and I had what I needed. not long after that the cache log was signed. TFTC

Thank for the cache! With Normanville.
Didn’t have a pen as we just thought we were doing AL’s today.

Yay. Found it. 2nd visit for me. Armed with some info from a previous finder found no problem today. Felt a bit braver without a car in nearby driveway. Interesting spot that I have driven past numerous times. I did enjoy the adventure lab from memory. Finding myself on this side of town more often now Uni is back. Another fun adventure, many thanks for the hide.

GeoVenture Mega Event at Millicent, still looking forward to it!! A new date has been proposed for October 2021 now.

After completing the lab today still had some time so came and found this bonus cache. Was found just around the corner in a better place than where the phone wanted me. Log was full so left a new one in a new zip bag.
Thanks to Team Waldron for the Adventure Lab and this bonus cache

Completed the last 3 stages today, then headed off for the Bonus.

After an appointment at Myrtle Bank[^] and then meeting a former work colleague[^] and going shopping at Bunnings then staying for lunch and coffee[^], I went down South and picked up muggle partner for a walk on O'Sullivan Beach with Rex[^][:X]
I grabbed 1 more WP in this adventure lab on the way down[^] and then finished off the last 2 remaining on my way back[^]
Then I went and found this bonus cache[^] for my only real smilie today[^]

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
An enjoyable large run around the district to see some mostly unfamilia`r works. Some were known due to other caches. Good to see the variety though. One leg of the lab caused great pain and I did wonder whether I was gong to be able to finnish it. After a PAF to get a nint the ansswer was finally accepted. Then Mission completed and bonus coords given.
Then a quick wander over to GZ and the search began. GPS wandered a bit and in the end I put it away and trusted the caching mojo and then the cache was quickly found, log stamped and then replaced as found.
Gratias pro cache Team Waldron

Awesome
Truely enjoy the walk & visit each sculptures

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

Completed the art over a couple of trips past this way.
Came past just after midnight drinks to score the smiley.
Another minty surprise - not quite so arty but bright, about 10m West of where the coords took me.

thanks for the cache hide and the smiley too Team Waldron



- - cache at a social distance if you can - -


Dodge all the bugs (except travel bugs of course)
- avoid people completely if you can [:o)]
- get out and cache in the regions !

Completed the Lab on Christmas Day so returned New Years Day to grab the bonus! Really enjoyed the Lab.. Some beautiful urban locations!.....

.a favourite for the whole Adventure!

Catching up with late logs.

A spur of the moment decision was made to head to South Australia as we had no work on for New Years Eve this year (first time in 23 years) and without any planning and so many unfound caches over here we decided to concentrate on Adventure Lab caches and anything else that popped up nearby.

Well this was a very enjoyable Adventure Lab and although we have visited this area before we must have just drove straight past these places. Once we had completed the Lab we had a set of coordinates that followed the theme well and we also saw a garden growing nearby that we would never have expected to see here.
once at GZ we thought this is either going to be easy if it is there and a lot harder if it is there, happily the cache was found in the first place we looked and the Log book now contains our name.
Many thanks Team Waldron for the Lab and this bonus cache.

Today I needed a puzzle and a multi so set myself a short 10 cache run that would incorporate both in the short time I had available for caching.
Both missions were accomplished and home in time to chat to my Mum in the UK on time.
Had saved this one for a puzzle day just 5 mins from home. My multi for the day didn’t have a solved puzzle nearby so collected this one on the way home. TFTC Team Waldron

With the lab completed the cache was a quick find. Thanks Team Waldron.

Found It!
I attempted this one a few weeks ago but despite a thorough search of the structure, no cache was found. After confirmation from the CO that I was searching in the right place, I came back today and spotted it in under a minute. No idea how I missed that last time...
TFTC

Apologies for the tardy log... life kind of got in the way for a long while... now trying to catch up??
Out and about enjoying a sunny day with earthlight & The X-Trailers, finding caches and attempting Adventure Labs.

Nice easy find in obvious spot

After enjoying theadv lab we headed off to locate cache. Quick find first place looked. TFTC

Nice end to a cache series. TFTC

This evening, [@gridge98](http://coord.info/PRGKDMY) and I headed south to Old Noarlunga to target the new Adventure Lab. After Old Noarlunga, we visited Onkaparinga River Recreation Park, Noarlunga, and then dropped by Marion and Glenelg. The evening wasn't looking too good weather wise, but we thought we would still chance it. Before dinner wasn't too bad, but after dinner, heavy rain fell, so we somewhat cut short our plans.

Two of the five waypoints/Locations were visited in the Marion Council Art Installations Adventure Lab this evening, and it was good to have this crossed off. With this bonus cache nearby, we called past to park and make the short walk to GZ. We thought the coordinates were slightly out as we were looking around for this cache, but then managed to find it in a usual suspect place. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Team Waldron for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After completing the lab caches over 2 days dual ply found our selves at GZ today, after a short search the cache was found 12m from GZ.

This evening Davidwazza and I headed south to do the new adventure labs followed by some caches in the area, the rain hit us and we changed our plan and finished off doing some labs south west of the city
13 finds plus 11 labs
Thanks for the cache

After completing the associated labs I had a set of coordinates. But no time to find the cache. Today was the day. And the cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find including two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

I finished the Lab caches a couple of weeks ago, but left finding this one until I needed a puzzle find. Today was the day and as I was in the general area it was a good one to get. Enjoyed the Labs and found this one quickly.
Thanks for the cache Team Waldron.

Two sides to every artwork I now know! Thanks for your ad lab

KI A great lab cache series with a bonus in a very Marion spot. Very.

As luck would have it at the very first waypoint I met a cacher who had not cached. Does that make them a cacher? Well I guess as they were not a muggle. They had the lab cache Adventure app first up but were not quite sure what to do but could see the dots and knew they had to get to them.

After a very brief explain, they were off. They also had the Cachly and Geocaching app so were all ready. This cache was done in Cachly with updating the final coords - a good lesson for a beginner. I love this app myself and had a pretty damn good teacher.

They followed me to all the way points bar the last one where I made them drive in front - they got the hang of using the app to route them.

So well done to ImSue - a shout-out. Your first cache being a lab has to be pretty rare. And your first physical cache this one - a puzzle. Excellent work and a big thanks to Team Waldron for making this lab interesting and a decent tour of this council's art effort.

Astro.

My first real physical cache after 5 lab adventures on a great afternoon. At the beach art I ran into another cachet called TeamAstro. Followed each other around the whole of Marion which was good for me as I wasn’t really sure. Lots of fun. I might try this geo fun more!

TFTC from ImSue

Got to GZ and found the cache and then realised I didn’t have a stamp or pen with me. Walked all the way back to the road on the opposite side of that very awesome (and extremely busy) playground to where I parked to get one. Decided to drive and park closer to GZ to be able to make a quicker exit from the area while I was at it. Log book stamped and I was on my way again with this part of the map looking nice and clean once more.

Thanks for the cache Team Waldron.
Found on 5/9/20 at 12:23.
Find #11421.

I started 2020 with some improbable caching goals that only lasted until mid February.
Then came Covid-19 and caching began to take a back seat.
But with restrictions easing and socially responsible caching again possible it is time to start filling the calendars again.

Today however was Wednesday and it was time for the befuddled group of puzzlers to set out in search of recently solved mystery caches, some lab cache series and anything else we happened to be passing.
A lot of driving in what seemed to be unusually heavy traffic to get to all the waypoints to admire some art. Some I had seen before whilst collecting other caches! Finally we had the found all the labs and all that was left was the bonus. [^] Unusually the cache was in the first place we looked.

***Thanks Team Waldron for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A trio of Geo Animals were out for Wednesday Wandering.
We traveled here and there.
Gathered our info.
Found the bonus cache. Tftc

A quick find after finishing the associated lab cache. Thankyou for the cache Team Waldron found 2 September 2020 15:40

Nice local AL, was a good way to spend a bit of an overcast and slightly drizzly Sunday morning. Excellent finishing location for the kids too!
Thanks for the bonus cache, very easy to spot from a distance (turned cache horizontally in hiding place once we signed log so as to make it a bit more hidden...it was sitting vertically so the container was very visible/in plain sight when we found it).
Great AL, TFTC, TNLNSL

Thanks for interesting sculptures. Thanks to a good teacher who guided me as it was my first Adventure Lab.

Found it nice and easy afterwards.

Thanks Team Waldron for the cache

Started the labs last night, on way home, finished them this morn.
A nice lil tour.
Alas the checker didn't work, but went to the co-ords in final lab anyway, where I found the cache with the hint.
Dropped my *FTF* geocoin through too @ 0645.

Thanks
