Pretty sure with the DT rating and cache size this should be an easy find, but not today. Be great if the CO could check.........
Snagged a quick find here. Took longer to open the thing then actually finding it! TFTC
There are a few reliable things in the world and Santa is one of them. A fun cache. TFTC
Time for a Tuesday Trekking for members of the Befuddled Puzzle solving group. Anymules was still on holidays so he chose to head south and target TOTT caches as he doesn't have a pole for tree fishing. [^] Some cache maintenance was also required at Goolwa. In the end, only him and me were available so we started at Kuitpo, and branched out from there.
I came and visited, stamped the log and left a TB.

Day 2 of our holiday in Victor Harbor. Out doing some geocaches while exploring the area with the kids.
This one was high on our list with the hopes of some swaps, and didn’t disappoint! Kids also enjoyed the novelty of the container and log.

Thank you for the cache!
My partner and I have taken a drive to Victor to pass the time.
I found and didn’t find many caches. Now for some dinner!

Tftc not sure what type of Santa is in the deep south but presents were left for all at GZ.
A surprisingly hard cache to spot, given its colour. Nicely themed logbook as well. Great cache on the way home.
What a very thoughtful cache. Nice touch. Found with 2y 'stassies which added to the fun!!
Thanks to CharismaEmma and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]
Today we headed to the Victor Harbor, Port Elliott and Goolwa areas for a days caching with Astro. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a very well planned and presented cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. The cache earns a favourite from us. Thanks CharismaEmma for the cache.
A short stop here today, cache found and is all good
This afternoon we had a few hours spare before the family dinner so set out to find a few caches in the local area with the time we had.
Total of 25 caches found.

Today's trip south was set in play, and a 35-degree forecast was not going to stop me. I had rectified several DNFs over yonder way and was marching east inevitably toward Goolwa for some cache maintenance. I don't know if I have found your caches before CharismaEmma, but today proved enlightening. I like your hides and style, very nice.
This one proved no exception, and I was delighted to see the wonderful container. After signing duties were performed, I dropped off one of my Palm Cove destined trackables, one of a pair in a race to return to a tropical paradise. I am very particular at where I drop TBs, and I really liked your cache.
Thank you for the cache CharismaEmma, and the ongoing maintenance. Nice work and a FP4U

Found the cute cache almost a year to the day it was released. Left a Note for Santa. Hope he has been Double Vaxed and had a Booster and he wears a Mask while delivering all his gifts this year. Stay Safe Santa - we need a Jolly Christmas this Year!!!!!!!
After a weeks break in Goolwa, I headed home today and had to stop off and let Santa know I'd been good, so I could be on the nice list. TFTC
TFTC! Great cache. GeoDaughter loved it. A quick stop off on the way home after a weekend away at Middleton. Cheers
Went tripping with Purrfect Di. Jack tagged along too. A couple of sunny days down south
A nice little spot to send messages to the jolly fat one [:o)] Fav for the thought.
please tell him to quarantine on the way in this year
Thanks to you for putting this cache out on the SA geomap CharismaEmma

Caches everywhere are located and logged using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), 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!

Please do stay safe when caching.
Lookout for mud, snakes, surprise cliffs, wild goats, wombats, bulldust, and lightning,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for bugs. [xx(]
Make sure Travel Bugs are the only bugs you share and pass on
We really appreciate all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Today I headed to VH and surrounds for a caching day.
Visitors coming to stay unexpectedly meant some frantic housework before I could leave home (they probably didn’t even notice ) so my 8.30 departure became 10.30 but there was a curry in the slow cooker and my house was the cleanest it’s been in weeks!
My goal had been to find 45 caches sadly this ended up being only 27 finds and 4 dnfs. Had a mint day out though the coast was looking beautiful and there was so much bird life to be seen.
Had a lovely cake and coffee in Goolwa and was please with my haul.
Shame you didn’t make this a letterbox cache. Nicely themed cache. TFTC

Down in Victor Harbour visiting daughter and family .. Needed a smiley to fill in a calendar day so thought this might be a quick drive by on our way home.. Loved the cache theme even if it was logged in mid year.. Great log book and baubles.. Thanks CharismaEmma for a different find.. Well done.!! TFTC
Mr Tardis was heading home from Port Elliot, and stopped here to find this one. I found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?. A great themed container.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache CharismaEmma.

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.
Hey nice work with this cache. Fave point from us. Pity it wasnt a letterbox cache.

With a container like that, perhaps you should have published this one as a Letterbox cache rather than as a traditional
Thanks for the cache CharismaEmma.

Heading towards the Celebration Beach Party Event at Victor Harbour.
So naturally, we stopped to grab a few on the way.
A quick stop on the dirt road & CP found the cache on the correct side of the tree.
Nice to find a decent sized themed cache, thanks for the hide CharismaEmma

22,457. Found with minniek during our Post-Christmas escape to South Australia.
This trip to South Australia was on again off again due to the changing circumstances in the various states we had to travel through. Finally getting a green light from all 3 states we headed off early boxing day. Day 5 of our adventures took us down to Victor Harbour and Granite Island. Enjoyed the walk around the island grabbing all the caches there. After that we went for a drive to grab a few more. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off towards the next one.
Thanks CharismaEmma !! Love the container.

Fitzy_1965 and I headed to Victor Harbor today via Yankalilla to visit my Great Aunt. We ended up with Aunt, Uncle and cousin in tow down to the Harbor.
After saying our goodbyes, we headed back to Adelaide in a round about way to collect some counties (LGAs to you).
What a neat cache idea! Loved it but it is a little exposed where we found it. Only realized as we drove away.

I had just been to find a new puzzle cache that had been published overnight as well as this one, so on my way to meet friends at Middleton where we were staying for a couple of days I stopped to find this cache as I was driving past. [^]
Was on the wrong side of the tree to start with and couldn't see anything, but once I looked from the right direction it was easily spotted.
A nice Christmassy themed cache, thanks CharismaEmma.

Long weekend away with the geo-pup, sitting at the caravan park having some cheese and crackers when I decided to check the mail. A few new ones, a puzzle to look at and one 61km south of our usual abode.
"That must be close to here", Ol says. Sure enough, 1.5km away! Unsuitability dressed, off we went...
A quick drive and a decent size cache in hand, well themed for the festive season.
Fave from us to go with our FTF
