Found the location but cache seems to be missing, spend about an hour crawling and trying to find but no luck, disappointing for our first multi were super excited to find it. Very cool spot for it to be there and the easy coordinates were fun. B + R

Please more hints

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location. ???????????? (HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do. ??????[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort. ???????? Devilish Brilliant and Clever I like it Another one off the list TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - ?? Azzo 7777 ??

The succulents at GZ are spiky. No need to crawl under today.azzo7777, I found Magpie today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.* * * * * * *SAs Leap Year Event - GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Keep looking up!

Only one magpie here today, but then we didnt have fish and chips. Nice walk along the Esplanade to get here. TFTC

A lovely area and a great view. The Fish is planning an event already! Owl loved the doctor's sentiments. And that the cache didn't require acrobatics!

A most excellent caching day out with an owl and a dragon.

I've driven and cycled along the Esplanade many times and never knew this nice little park existed.

Thanks for bringing us here Azzo.

Mr Tardis had attended an event nearby and walked over to find this multi.

After calculating GZ, I found the cache after a short search.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Azzo.

I had some free time between Goldy and Sparkie's Magic Maker event at Aldinga Beach and sir_spectre's CITO at Hackham West.

I came here for one final cache with Flaker2rule after our walk through Aldinga Scrub.

After talking a little bit about how nice the view was, we did the sums and made the short walk to GZ where a quick find was made.

I did let out a big "ouch!" while retrieving the cache. A nice fun challenge at the end.

All is well with this cache.

Thanks azzo7777 for this multi cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3234 on the 1st of July 2023.


CITO's are a brilliant way to help keep our community area's clean. The Earth is our playing field and we need to protect it!

Always be sure to cache the "leave no trace" way!


**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

Thanks for placing this cache azzo7777

My friend and I weren’t searching half an hour by the bench and looked at the hint. The hint was definitely helpful! Keep an open mind and don’t give up!

Five magpies greater me as I approached GZ. Numbers found and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

Found during a caching foray around Aldinga for the day. Thanks for the cache Azzo!

Just a quick cache before work today Tftc

Out and about catching smilies on a beautiful sunny but windy day. Tftc

Three befuddled geo animals, went on a Wednesday wander.
The Rat and the Adder met the Starfish in Aldinga.
Our plan was to gather as many caches as we could.
A quick find for the trio today. tftc

The usual Wednesday Wander for members of Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group had us heading back South to Aldinga Beach search of solved puzzles and anything else we came across. Today it was myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats. [^] By the end of the day we had scratched the surface and will have to return again soon. I also added to my ever expanding DNF list - Doh Still found quite a few and had a few laughs.

We had already finished our fish'n'chips so no Magpie swooping here. Just another Azzo cache found. And by me this time.....Hoot!

***Thanks azzo7777 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

The usual Wednesday wander of the Befuddled consisting of just the Adders and Astro. with the Starfish injuring his back and the Rat unable to join us meant that there was only the two of us available.

The target area for the day was Aldinga and surrounds. An area that had been planned previously but did not eventuate in success with many diversions seeking other hides.

As always, all caches were visited and signed by all members of the group or each member had a part to play in retrieving the prize.

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.

A quick find with no one around, future finders may find this difficult as time goes on when those nasty plants grow.



Thank you for the cache %CacheName Azzo, found 18/05/2022

Found quickly while biking the Esplanade with a friend. TFTC Azzo

Use the hint to find it. No trick. Stairs no included

Hi azzo7777, I found Magpie today. I am visiting McLaren Vale for our school holidays in Victoria. Collecting a few smilies on the way. I love a nice easy multi.

Many thanks azzo7777 for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Parked up and made our way down the path to GZ, after some quick clas the cache was found all good

Today we headed south to use our great state voucher in mclaren vale, so after decided to do a few caches.

Thanks for the cache

That's a hill! Tftc

A nice place to sit down, especially when the maggies aren't about . Thanks Azzo.

A great location

That was a lot easier than I had expected.

Thanks for the cache azzo7777.

Find #15025.

Picking up furniture down south with Jolly0 and just had to do some geocaching before returning home. TFTC
Magpies singing as we approached, they must have known why we were there. Spotted the cache as we approached, signed log and left Maggies in peace.

Pretty appropriate name as we had a couple of Maggie's watching us solve this one from their shady tree.

Today I asked Peas&CarrotsForever to come for a drive with me down south to assist me with picking up a piece of furniture, oh and some geocaching of course. It turned out to be nearly an 8 hour round trip!! . We had a fun day

TFTC Azzo
Keep smiling

went for a bike ride with a friend, found this cache. I never realised that this spot was here! Didn't have a pen/pencil on us, but a photo has been sent to the CO for proof.

Public holiday drive south with the geo-pup. Great views today.

TFTC

Found it, TFTC

With the promise of a reasonable day (after the weather we’ve been experiencing over the past few days), I decided to head south to the Aldinga area for a few caches. My main targets were some previously solved puzzle caches and some multis that looked like they would be pretty quick and straightforward.

The required information was gathered, final coordinates determined and the cache was quickly found in good condition a short distance away. I even saw a couple of magpies nearby.

Thanks azzo7777 for the cache.

Out & about with my friend jafaz62 & her "Adventure Lab"rador collecting a few caches, having a catch up and visiting new places.
This was a nice quick multi and yes we saw some magpies.
Cache was reached from above.

Supposed to be doing lots of chores today but found myself down in aldinga first chasing some caches. Was a little frustrating as I could really have done with my ladder but the Geohusband has it.
Found about 10 including a few multis and other bits and pieces the march to 15000 continues slowly.
Nice quick multi TFTC Azzo

Nice easy multi, which was good. Found it nice and easy afterwards. Very nice park.

Thanks Azzo7777 for the cache

What a lovely area. Imagine living here back in the day. TFTC

Coordinates quickly determined with clare007 and then the prize was located after a short search by Clare!!

A nice, simple multi. Not so many muggles down this beach access point.
No magpies here, but I did have to share some of my roll at lunchtime with a local magpie.
Thanks for the cache & the view azzo, a favourite

A nice drive again with Purrfect Di ! Fresh air escape!!!

Numbers located and crunched. Didn't take too long to find the small cache nearby.
Magpie season is pretty much upon us

Thanks to azzo7777 for hiding this cache and many more on our SA geo map game board

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... 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 especially away from the city crowds,
it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

We got some fish n chips and ate ours on the beach... swarmed by seagulls...
A quick calc and find...

Thanks

We crunched the numbers in the rain. And double checked.

Found in the first spot we looked. Just as well as the rain was starting.

Thanks to azzo7777 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Out for a days caching with Astro and Four Fun around Aldinga.

Numbers were gathered and the cache was found after a short search.

TFTC

Spent today with a couple of very clever chaps, hunting for caches on the Fleurieu
This was one of the fun finds today [^]
Cheers and TFTC azzo7777

Quick calculation and find but no need to crawl under as I did. Thanks azzo!

I had planned a day down at Aldinga and surrounds getting some of the new caches that have popped up. I left later than I had hoped as it was raining at home and looking very grey, but decided that I might as well go for a drive and tackle the showers if and when they came! It started off dry but after the first few the rain came down, not too hard but just enough to wet me right through when I was looking for one particular cache. I didn't find as many as I had on my list, but still had a good afternoon even if I had to sit out the rain a couple of times.

This was the one where I got very wet. It wasn't raining very much when I left the car, but while I was looking for the cache it was enough to really wet me, but did I give up...no!! Gathered the info worked out where GZ was and headed there. Was on the right side, then the wrong side and back to the right side where the cache was found not quite where I thought it was going to be.

Thanks for the cache Azzo.

AH good name for a cache, we love maggies. We have befriended one, or she has befriended us, we arent sure.
We first met her on a really hot run of days back in January, she just lay in the dirt by the side of the house, kinda trusted that we wouldnt hurt her as we put out water and a bit of raw meat to try and help her. We know the bird world is tough and seems to have a policy of "survival of the fittest" but we couldnt watch her die. After a few days of drinking our water and nibbling on our raw meat offerrings she diappeared, which pleased us as we knew she must be strong enough to fly again. She was very young but hopefully we gave her the start her tough love mum wouldnt.
She comes back everyday, some days she gets a bit of meat, but it seems like she is just popping in for a visit like an old friend.
They say a magpie can identify 2000 faces ...... how did they work that out? Flash cards held up for identification, got to card 2001 and the magpie panics because its unfamiliar? Sounds like a bit of BS.
Thanks Azzo for the cache and a chance to tell our magpie story. TNLNSL

No magpies today, definitely a beanie day. Quick easy find, Thanks Azzo

Nice hiding spot

A quick this evening. Collected answers and then made my way to GZ. Found in the obvious spot. No one around this evening.
Thanks

Detoured on the way home from work after doing some chores. Not fish and chips for me, it's way past my dinner time and time to turn on the torch. Quick solve and a short stroll and a quick find. That leaves me with about 51 calendar day left for multis, not to back since it was 149 mid last july.

look for a while

7 years of travelling Australia and yet we have never visited Normanville so we are here now to rectify that. With clouds overhead, abut warmer weather on the way today it was time to pop up north to Aldinga & Sellicks Beach.

Lovely area glad we got here today! No fish n chips today just a boring ham sandwich. Great spot.

TFTC

A great spot for fish and chips. Yummmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.............

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 with 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.

Found It!
Nice little park that I don't think I've ever been to before. No one else here today so I collected the numbers, did the maths, wandered over to GZ and soon spotted the cache. Getting the cache out was a little difficult though, my arm was only just long enough!
TFTC

When I got to the posted coordinates there was a Magpie nearby but I didn't have any chips so he wasn't interested in me. TFTC Azzo

Found it on an Friday night ride

Alysse spotted another multi for us to do before heading home! What a hill TFTC

Found with Erine14 tftc!

First azzo7777 FTF
First FTF in Onkaparinga LGA
First time I’ve caught a bus to get a FTF

My car is being serviced in Mile End and I have the day to kill. I've had fun caching by public transport before in Melbourne and Sydney, and already knowing that OTD December passes the Seaford stations, I hop on a train.

I'm near the Seaford Interchange when this is published, and after consulting the Metro app, work out I can be at Aldinga shops in about 45 minutes. Let's give it a shot!

WP1 is deserted (apart from the two magpies) when I finally arrive (the 751 bus goes via everywhere), and a relatively quick find is made, although this would be trickier if there were muggles around.

This FTF certainly made my day. Thanks so much azzo7777, definite FP here!
