Can't find

Looked everywhere, even PAF, nowhere to be seen for us

Definitely entering the 'nemesis' category for this one as I have tried probably 3 times to find, at one stage enlisting others to help me, all with no luck. I caved in and asked a previous finder for tips, which were gratefully supplied.Armed with this knowledge, I zeroed in on the location - yet despite this, it was still a bugger to find - but find it I did - yay!Thanks for the challenge, gurtyy boi.

TFTC. A quick trip to Adelaide to help youngest child move and try out recently purchased camper trailer … why not pick up some caches!

Happy caching and safe travels!

40min search and no luck. Tried the Google maps suggestion but that didn’t help us either!
Have messaged CO for support.

Back to Wednesday Wandering for some members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group. We gathered at the Rat Nest and myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats headed out for a day of caching in and around Lefevre Peninsular. Razz Except for one cache that is currently off line and 1 DNF we managed to find all we looked for. Big Grin As usual there were a few laughs, a picnic lunch and these are the caches we found [B)]Cool

This was a very quickish find for me. Smile Didn't even need the others who had already found it and thought it might give me some difficulty. Razz

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. Twisted So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. Cool That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

***Thanks gurtyy_boi for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. *** Big Grin

I had been to an early morning event, then into the city for a while and after that decided to come out this way and find a couple of caches. [^]

I had been to look for this one last time I was down here but left without finding it as there were a few muggles about. Today GZ was clear so I had another look in the spots I had looked at before and eventually spotted the appropriate container in the last place I looked. SurprisedRed Face

Thanks for the cache gurtyy_boi. Smile
 
07-Sep-21
Called past mid morning and no surprise muggle city so left for later, fast forward to early evening and darkness had descended we called past on the way home to a empty area, a short search turned into a longer search and just as we were about to call it quits the hide revealled itself
TFTC gurtyy_boi Wink
 
03-Sep-21
Thought it would be nice to stop for a cache on the way home. Had no ideas here so had a bounce on the trampoline on the way out. Bitten by mozzies and the plants stinking of dog wee made for quite an unpleasant experience. I’m sure I’ll be back. TFTH

Out for a Sunday ride on my bicycle enjoying a dose of vitamin D

Out and about with Trail06 for the morning.

Time to clean up the peninsular.

All caches were in good order.

A quick find. Been here before but too many mini muggles. Today the coast was clear.

17-Aug-21
After a enjoyable wander along the PATOG series for about 12 kms with Mattycat we turned our attention to a few on the peninsula, way to many muggles near GZ will check another day!

Arrived here today and not a human in sight. Walked over to the GZ and after a few laps the cache was found nicely hidden

Today I went out to do some caches around port Adelaide that were yet to be found. 12 caches in total.

Thanks for the cache
 
17-Apr-21
4th time is a charm! Every time I came back here in the last 24 hours it was riddled with muggles! Even when I came back for this 4th time which was past 6pm and dark, there was a muggle. Thankfully they left within less then 10 minutes. Glad to finally have this cache, I sure worked for this one!

I put the coordinates into google maps and found it much quicker.

TFTC!

Thanks for the cache gurtyy_boi. Nice quick find here. Book 80% full.
 
Put the coords into Google maps, works much better for me. Found it quickly, after waiting for muggles to leave. TFTC

Spent the morning and early afternoon cycling around the area - a beautiful day for a ride and the headwinds weren't too bad. Found 16 caches and DNFed on 4. Skipped the ones with a sequence of recent DNFs which was lazy but expedient.

Lost enthusiasm for this one because of all the rubbish - just didn't feel like rummaging in that. It's a bit disturbing that the local authorities don't make more than a superficial effort to clean the area
 
03-Feb-21
That was a lot quicker to find than expected. Looks like a well kept little park for the kiddies. Thank you for the placement of this cache gurtyy_boi find number 7329 at 3 February 2021 12:22 pm

Hmmm what a sticky spot for a cache.

Glad I've used these containers before and spotted it quickly!

thanks for the hide and the smiley gurtyy_boi Big Grin



Cool - - - - - - - - stay socially distant caching - - - - - - - - - Cool


Avoid the bugs (except travel bugs of course) - avoid people completely if you can Razz

Returned to this after having been muggled out some time ago. Searched with clare007 and hevwalker ................................................. eventually Clare made the find!!
 
06-Dec-20
Came back here today with CPwanderer and hevwalker to find an empty playground.
We all had a good search with no luck, so I scrolled back through the logs and found a clue.
I had drifted a good ten meters away from gz, so found my way back and found the cache under some mislaid rubbish.
Thanks for the cache gurtyy_boi
 
06-Dec-20
Found with CPwanderer & clare007 on a windy afternoon...I think the wind kept the crowds away...no-one playing today except for 3 cachers Wink
Lots of looking trying hard not to damage the bushes...
Came out smelling of said bushes...
Clare eventually came across the well hidden cache but not what I was expecting...

Came to play with Poppy and Alfie. Wrote their names in the log. Thanks for the cache.

I was initially looking for something bigger (as you’re supposed to be able to fit a TB on to a “small” sized cache, I stared searching for something smaller.

After lots of bush bashing, I found the one that contained the hide.

Thanks for the cache gurtyy_boi.
Found on 30/10/20 at 20:19.

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. This was the first of the day and it took the womenfolk a while to narrow down the options, with the Rat's beady eyes finally spotting the cache.
 
22-Oct-20
The low flying Owl had collected a scurrying Rat for a girls Day out caching.
This was our first for the day.
Took a bit of searching.
But the beady eyed Rat soon had the cache in her paws. Tftc

While he was in surgery I grabbed cold rolls for lunchSmile and let Rex have a run in a park while I ateCool[^]Big Grin
Once we got to MIL's house after surgery, I saw that the bonus cache details on the Coots and Moorhens adventure lab had changed, so Rex and I said goodbye and headed off to find the bonus cache before publication, which we did!SmileCool
Then it was off to the Largs North dog beach for Rex to have fun before we got 1 more cache on the way home for a total of 3 Smilecache finds todayCool

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.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Saw this published recently, but with the WFH thing it is difficult to get out. Today I was out and about and with it being lunchtime it was opportune to make a detour and make a find. Travelled to the area and parked nearby and wandered over to the area of GZ, but the GPS was wandering all over the place. Put it away and tried another device. Got to a point where the area stabilised and was within 2M. OK, now start the search. Looking, looking and hey presto, what's that. Found just as muggle family wandered over to the play equipment. Took the cache for a short wander, stamped the log and then waited till all backs were towards me and replaced the cache. Then wandered back to the car starting the log and reading past logs. Wow, sometimes it does pay to wait to make the find.
Gratias pro cache gurtyy_boi

Stopped here with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang for a cache & then lunch.
We had an initial search and came up with nothing.
Having to abandon the area for muggle kids and parent.
We left to get lunch, hoping this would give them time to play & leave.
Actually the reverse happened and more kids turned up...
Wish the cache was a bit further away from the playground.
 
13-Sep-20
Searched with clare007 and Gizmos Gang but had to cut it short as a family moved onto the play equipment. We got some lunch at the nearby takeaway hoping things would quiet down but instead more and more families / kids swarmed on the playground. Will have to return!!

First for the day and had been looking for nearly 5 minutes when Squizzie arrived. After a nice catch-up chat got back to looking and soon after Squizzie made the find in an area I'd already given the once over. Good co-ords, we both had cache at less than 2 meters from our GZs.
Thanks gurtyy_boi for putting it there

After seeing the co-ord correction last night i thought I'd try again with this one this morning, Tuesday 8 September 2020 hoping there would still be a podium spot

Arrived at a deserted GZ with overcast skies leaking
Looked in probably what was one of few spots i didn't before ( i feel like a goose coz the co-ords weren't out by much at all )

SL at 09:29 as STF, hunched over the log so the leaky sky wouldn't spoil the paper

Returned the cache exactly as found.

Sunday 6 Sept 2020 {09:45 - 10:10}

Only once i arrived to this one and after a 5 minute search with no luck i delved into past logs for hints an realized there [logged online so far] was only one. {Sweet i'll try and get Silver Cool}

I was so lucky to have this whole area to myself for about 25 minutes searching in vain in between rocks, under rocks, on equipment, in trees, logs and bushes.... i had to 'call it' as Muggles started to arrive [B)]

I will keep an eye on the next lot of logs for maybe a slight hint. No podium posse for the Wee Blue Birdy here today [v]

Thanks for the challenge anyways gurtyy_boi Smile

Coordinates changed from:

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 48.335 E 138° 30.127

Distance from original: 21.0 feet or 6.4 meters.

Due to multiple DNFS we returned and redone the coords so it should be at GZ. It was about a meter of the radius
