Used 2B a Church Micro #0163 Rosewater, South Australia, Australia
By Michells&hound on 31-Aug-20. Waypoint GC8Z840

Found it! Had this one solved beforehand, stopped by today. Wasnt the quickest of finds - and spent a little while putting my fingers in unnecessary places that were full of cobwebs! TFTC!

Out and about in the Westen Suburbs and grabbings caches of opportunity. This was one we ticked off while in the area. Cache found in the first spot checked. Love that. TFTC M&h

Another Multi Used 2B cache and another nice hide here. Now I know what a Rhino is. That's the way it goes, big nose.A mish-mash of a day today as a couple of my group ( me included) realised that out trip to Adelaide would be extended for up to a week, oh no, quel domage. Si I headed i=out early doors for a few early morning picks down Mawson Lakes way. Then had a coffee and chat to farewell a colleague, then afterwards was a trip into the city to pick off a few low-hanging fruit. I filtered my app to Wherigo,l Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache and Virtual but flicked on Traditionals and off depending on where I was etc. A great day to get some awesome, and popular, caches under my belt. As ever, the a[preciation to the COs is most genuinely respected.

Our Melbourne to Adelaide road trip reached its conclusion last night as we checked into our AirBnB nearby.This was our first physical find as we ventured out to discover Adelaide.TFTC

After a short search soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Beautiful church, took a bit of looking but soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Found by the youngest geoson.Great hide!TFTM!

TFTC! Found on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Took us a few trys to find it, but we got there in the end. (Just saying, your coords are very accurate!) Once again, TFTC!

Numbers crunched some time ago. A quick drive by. Fortunately no one in the park. Tftc

Pretty cool

I was in the area attending a CITO and made a quick find with sir_spectre.
Thanks

found with Mogni. I after the Rosewater CITO event. I was glad the wet weather kept the muggles away. quick find.

Last one before we head home. Met up with Lotus, searching for the same thing. Thanks Michelle and hound.

Another day out with Dr Owl, this time prowling around the hills and ending up in the Port to meet a couple of sandgropers.

Having visited similar structures previously I knew where to look and the cache was in the second spot checked, the hard part was manipulating the cache out of the hide.

Thanks for the cache Michells&hound.

Couldn’t find, look everywhere

Found at 3:09 pm


No dogs allowed at GZ

This afternoon, I went to New Port for business. I left the office early, so I can use my lunch break to find some caches on the way.
This is an easy multi cache. Got the information at the listed location, then drove the final location, which is not far away.
Checked here and there, then found the cache. Nice hide!
Signed the log sheet. Hid the cache back. No one was around.
Thanks for the multi cache, Michells&hound. I like the "Used 2B a Church Micro" cache series.

Easy find tftc

A quick multi travelling from my Christmas lunch venue to my Christmas dinner venue so I don’t break my streak

Got it!!

Sandyofthesea and I took off from Perth at the start of April to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. How good is this country!!

Michells&hound, I found Used 2B a Church Micro #0163 today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Out to clear up some unfound caches and DNFs in the western suburbs again today.

After finding the required numbers, I made the journey over to the cache.

Found it tucked away nicely.

Coordinates spot on.

Cache and log book in good condition.

Put my signature in the log book and returned the cache to its hiding spot.

Headed west today and after completing the new Lunch Walk series took the long way home via 4 Used 2B a Church, 2 Game Set and Matches, 2 solved puzzles and a newish traditional. All looked for were found and stamped.
Would hate to admit how long this one took me to find.
Thanks to Michells&hound for placing this cache on the SA Geocaching map.

*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

Only S.A. Sewer Rats and Myself out for a Befuddled Wednesday Wander today so we didn't do too many puzzles until we had more of the crew aboard. However that still left plenty as we hit St. Kilda, Le Fevre Peninsular for the new Mint Tins, the Lunch Time Walk Series and any others we might be passing . As you do.

Get some numbers, do some calc's and go to GZ to find a 'you guessed it - rhino' . Simples.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again I will trying to get the other two this year. [^] Should be easy as I only have to get two multi caches in July from the lockdown and couldn't get out. [:o)] The other was DNF's that came down from over 50 to the low teens before blowing out again but I really want to see only single a single digit this year.

***Thanks Michells&hound for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Worked out the coords for this a while ago and decided to stop on my way home today and grab it. Nice easy find. TFTC

We've found the numbers and the cache easily.
TFTC

Having just attended an event hosted by the same CO, this was the next stop of the day.

I can’t say I’ve heard of the new owner. I know someone who lives in this street but I’ve not been to their house. Nice neighborhood, a pleasant short walk to the final.

Thanks for this multi Michells&hound.

Did a welfare check and all is fine with this one

A day out with Mattycat to tackle some around the western suburbs some we both needed and the odd one only one of us needed the smilie which helped narrow the search, information gathered arriving at GZ happy to see muggle free for a easy find
TFTC Michells&hound

Yay!

Data collection for the multi was straightforward. With the coordinates calculated, it was off to GZ where accurate coordinates and a good hide location led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Michells&hound for the enjoyable cache.

No luck today. Will watch and try again.TFTC

Found with Woems1 ️

Found with bindikins

Tftc!! Found with conardel

Thanks for the cache found with Webberg

Log book replaced although still seemed to be plenty of space to write names

An easy find after collecting the information a few days prior

Tftc

Thanks Michells&hound for this multi. Out with making pie and the unhelpful geopup, not allowed in this park.

Drama people love a good church. I'm currently writing the log from the tech room in a church converted to a theatre! Would make a lovely home, like this.

tftc Michells&hound

Still wondering why they call them rhinos !!!


Stay Covid safe.

Cache the countryside!

Found the cache in a cool little reserve. Log full bit squeezed my name next to OZGrumpy. Thanks Michells&hound for a nice cache.

Found it log book full

TFTC Michells&hound

Log book is full

Headed out this morning to collect a few caches in the western suburbs, came past this cache that I had previously worked out. After a short search at GZ, the cache was found nicely tucked away. Although the log book could do with a new one
TFTC

TFTC :)

Out and about with Csaba!, SupaO & SupaT.

The playground kept the supas occupied while C! and I searched. He found it instantly.

Thanks, M&h

Out and about with Malco!, Csaba and SupaOrange. Everyone found a few caches today which is always fun. Turtle Out

Lots of caches found today with Csaba!, Malco! and SupaTurtle. Great to see playgrounds at lots of them. Tra La Laaa

Another fun day caching with Malco!.

The Supa's in the back seat made the day feel longer than it actually was.

Numbers were crunched and cache had spot on coords.

Thanks

Walked straight up to this one today [8] - don't know how we missed it last time [?].
TNLNSL.
Thanks MIchells&hound.

Checked up on this one on the way to work yesterday cache found in place in its original spot, exactly where it should be.

I walk past this area on my way to the train station occasionally. Tucked away very nicely making for a satisfying find! TFTC

Had a few hours after lunch so went for a drive around the north western suburbs. My journey took me to two parks, a median strip, a cemetery, a wetland and down to the Port. all up a mixed bag of two mysteries, two trads, a multi and a five stage Adventure Labs were located. And a milkshake was consumed as well while looking out over the jellyfish swimming around inner harbour. Thanks to all cache owners for their hides.

Owl collected SA Sewer Rats for a girls' caching day out, which then needed a plus one after the Owlmobile collected an unwanted screw in a car park (with a DNF to add insult to injury!) Blackadders added an extra pair of eyes and some more chatter to the day and a good time was had by all. Owl mucked up the numbers for this multi, so it was just as well she had a prior finder to point her in the right direction (and distract the muggles). She has now retrospectively corrected her maths, so all is good!

I actually parked in front of the converted church and thought aaaaah this could be a “Used to be a Church Micro” candidate. It already is. It’s daily cache time !
No traditionals left for me to grab around these parts so this multi is it.

TFTC Michells&hound

Thanks for this cache Michells&hound. I turned left and right through narrow streets and arrived at the listed coordinates. I did the calcs in the car then ubolt to get to GZ. There are some interesting houses on this street. As I crossed the road to get to the park a local was doing burnouts on his motorbike, in shorts and tshirt and no helmet. I made myself look busy as all those nearby left. A quick grab then seated to sign. The motorbike rider circled past again fanging it up the street. I return the cache and go back to the car. I was plotting the course to the next cache when I see the rider now pushing the bike (ran out of fuel) back to his nearby house.

Finding the cache was pleasant, and thank you for placing it and maintaining it for our enjoyment.

I used to play cricket at the oval opposite the church.

Numbers gathered and made my way to gz.

Been here before.

Tftc

After attending the event at Mawson Lakes this morning, FeatherWaite and I headed off to do a few more caches to the north west of the city.

Another simple used 2B. Numbers collected and coordinates calculated, and a quick find at GZ.

Thanks Michells&hound for the cache.

Found with e.gregory1 after attending the Ahoy me Hearties event at Mawson Lakes and deciding to locate a few caches afterwards in the northern and north-western suburbs. Thanks for the cache Michells&hound!

A quick find by the adder after a little math. Thankyou for the cache Michells&hound found 9 October 2020 12:04

whilst in the area today we stopped by and gathered our info.
Did the calcs, and found the cache. TFTC

Wow! That church blends in well with suburbia .
Sorted the numbers and we arrived at a deserted GZ - just the way we like it [^].
Looked and looked. Read the clue, read some logs and looked again .
For a 'simple find' we had no luck today . Maybe we got the numbers wrong [?].
Thanks anyway Michells&hound.

Found It!
Jesus has left the building. There must have been a lot of Jesuses in this part of Adelaide once upon a time. I collected the numbers, drove to GZ and soon found the cache!
TFTC

I've the course of 2 days due to muggles we made the find this morning in the first place we looked so that was great, we enjoy these caches, thanks for placing this one here.

Found with after a short walk. Cacjing with Gwen (The X-Trailers). Would haye to live in these narrow streets. Quick find and cache all ok. TFTC

After miss reading instructions correctly and Miss calculating reread and all good
Easy find with Earthlight
Tftc

Catching up on logs.
Found with CPwanderer and clare007 after attending the Hutt Street breakfast event.
Calculations made and headed to GZ where a mother and son were enjoying the park.
We admired the mural and pretended to be on our phones until they finished their game and left.
Cache located after a short search. We had been sitting right near it.
A favourite for from me for the memories. My grandparents lived not too far from here for a short time.
TFTC Michells&hound

Out with Gizmo's Gang & CPwanderer after the Breakfast Event on Hutt St.
It turned out to be another lovely, spring day.
Arriving near gz, we soon realised that a mother & son were also enjoying the day &
had ridden to the park on their bikes and were enjoying a game of hide & seek.
We all waited for the game with the muggles to end, while pretending to be on our phones.
As the coast was clear, we searched at least three spots before realising we had been sitting right next to it
Thanks for the cache & the multi Michells& hound

Found with clare007 and Gizmos Gang. Had to wait for a few minutes for a muggle mother and son to move on but then a quick find was made!! Thanks Michells&hound for the hide!!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was heading into the office again today so another detour was in order to make a find. This one was the target. Parked opposite while talking on the phone and doing some data gathering, then some number crunching and assembling some coordinates and checking the checksums. All was in order and the numbers agreed. YAY.
Then a short drive to the area of GZ and park opposite. Wander over to GZ and guess where the hide was and located the cache in the first place I looked. Gotta love that. And early in the morning the place was completely muggle free. Not even passing muggles. Extracted the log, signed and then replaced back in its little hide.
Gratias pro cache Michells&hound

Eric Sutton Reserve Playground was busy as! this morning with a Wee Muggle sport game on so parking to get the numbers needed was acquired by 2 Drive-By's lol

With the numbers got, i pulled over to where there actually wasn't any cars [:o] and did the caclcs.

That done, it was off to GZ to make the search. Only one Dog-Exercising Muggle was there but taking no notice of me so after about 3 minutes of Stealth-Enabled Search Activities the sneaky well hidden cache was found [^]

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there

I've never noticed this cute little church/home before, and I'm around here quite often! Quick pick up while my young'un had a play on the playground! TFTC

Stopped by for another offering in the series...
Quick calcs and quick.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Had a couple of multis on my list for an after work stretch. Muggled out of GZ for my first one. Luckily for me this one was muggle free and after crunching the numbers I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Saw this one published this morning and as it was a nice day and I needed a multi find for today I thought I would go for a bit of a drive!
Gathered the info and was interested to read the history of this Used 2B. Did the sums and then headed off to GZ and found the cache nicely tucked away. Stamped the log and replaced as found and I was on my way for a well deserved coffee.
Thanks for the cache Michells&hound.

Used to be a chapel. Now it is a residence. Used to be for sale. Now it is sold.

If you w0ndered what happened to the contents of the church perhaps they ended up here.

After some confusing maths, I still had A and AB, I had a logical location at ABC. The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. No Prie-Dieu Kneelers or Monstrances required. 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.

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’d driven almost past this one three times already this evening but hadn’t refreshed my map to be able to see it. After a local search I saw it so headed to the listed coordinates. A quick set of calcs and I was off to a very dark and deserted GZ where a quick find of one of those horrible containers was made.

Thanks for the cache Michells&hound.

{FTF} 10:35 2/9/20. Yay. Found it. Another fun adventure, many thanks for the hide.

Was nearby, working on my own Used 2b church. Realised that I would be running late for the rest of the day, but what the ...: Funny thing is, my church also has very limited information and no stone either. Must say I haven’t been to this area before, thank you for bringing me here.

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

I had a friend who use2B in the same street but he has passed on to the bigger place in the sky. The little church reminded me of him when I pulled up and noticed the street name - also the best 4x4 track on the planet!!

For a moment I thought I was in for a long drive but gave my hunch a shot and it was spot on. Found exactly where it should be!! Nice to get a rare multi podium but sad this one not shared today.

Thanks Michells&hound and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet! . Thanks for the update.

As I was logging this the google car drove past me. Check out street view. Haha.

Thanks to FTFer and STFer for their patience whilst I fixed up some errors in the cache description. My apologies.
