Happy Mothers Day... tftc in a beautiful secret garden.

Cool place we never knew about!

Took us a bit too long to find this oneTFTC

I am not saying the cache isn't here, but a camera crew was literally filming at gz when i stopped to find the cache.

Found it on a Great Leap forward day. Tftc

6 months ago, during a frenzy, we said to ourselves "why not going to the mega in Adelaide for the leapday". From scratch we moved on to preparing an 18-day project in Australia.Our objectives are simple, visit a small part of this immense continent while validating a few caches. There are so many caches (impossible to do everything) that we will select. Our plan will allow us to visit Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Mount Gambier and finish in Adelaide for the famous Mega.During our stay we will log PestiHoot for Pestinette and Blackhoot.During our 5 days in Adlade, we visited the centre and around while following the caches and labs. We resolved some mysteries before our trip. We made some great discoveries and great experiences.Easy to find when we go ton the good spot. But the neighbor's dog barked a lot, fortunately no moggles in the area.Thanks to the caches we visited many sites evoking Australian culture and history.Thanks for the cache and the discovery of beautiful or original spots

Then depending on the time that we will have left at each of our stages, all caches allowing usto visit a nice new place.We only visited a tiny part of this beautiful country which makes us want to come back although it is not next door and I would also remember the warm welcome of Australians and their kindness.I sincerely thank all the poseurs without whom the exploration of all theseplaces known or much more discreet would not have been possible. A big thank you for your personal investment for the pleasure of all and ours in particular during this beautiful trip shared in friendly company ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~**Against a sedentary lifestyle, geocache!

Cute spot!

A lovely garden has sprung up next to the tracks here I made sure to flutter by on me bike this morning,and find this well hidden cache Not sure how many rooms were occupied today,but business must be booming if the bugs are anything to go by TFTC

After the nearby OZGrumpy breakfast event in North Adelaide, a last minute plan was hatched to find some caches.I set off with Jolly0, KTPops and unssy for a select few caches. However, it ended up being "There's another cache close by..." sorta morning.This was a very nice spot for a cache. Such a peaceful spot. I took some photos for my nature account on instagram.Quite a few freight trains coming by today.Mr Unssy made the find here today. I took the TB for more journeys.A few SA rocks near as well. Thanks for the fun cache and for highlighting this area.Thanks Nothing up my sleeve for this traditional cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3681 on the 18th of October 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!**

Another blue turned to yellow, always a good day. Lovely walk around this part of the area.

After a tasty breakfast event, a group of us decided on going for a walk through the park I love how there is this beautiful garden on this triangular piece of land that has the most peaceful feel to it. Another place Ive discovered because I geocache.TFTC Nothing up my sleeveKeep smiling

TFTC!

Ya hoo

Yeayyy found it

Yeay

GZ was a few meters off but the name and clue helped. Found after a half decent search. TFTC

Sneaky find that was found by my geowife after a couple of minutes.

TFTC!

Looked and looked but no luck

Lovely little garden. The busy bee faces the rail track

Easy finds - no such thing, I have more success with hard ones. !!

A quick find today thanks to the hint. There are not too many places a small magnetic container could be hidden here. No insects spotted though - might have been a bit cold for them!

Thanks Nothing up my sleeve for the cache.

DNF

Good one!

A buzzing good time

Found it!

No luck for me this evening. Had a fair search over a few structures but that being said, my geocaching skills are rusty at the moment

TFTC

Found! Thank you so much for leading me to this little location!

Lovely little box

Very beautiful location

After the breakfast catch up plan had been hatched, sort of, for a day of caching with Muff1.

Found while in the neighbourhood and falling rain. We looked everywhere but the right spot but got there in the end.

Thanks for bringing us here Nothing up my sleeve.

Out with Sushilord today in the rain hubby and the fish lord when a hunting. It did not take long to find the cache/ SL TFTC

This one was fun but don’t be fooled by the over head boxes the buzzing of bees and the beautiful colours the Insects bite! Lol the clues are all there out 3rd find for the day

It’s the day after my birthday and so I’m feeling a bit fragile, a bit older, and to compound things, it’s stinking hot with a total fireban everywhere and Black Hill is on fire. Hence, this was the only cache of the day. It took me way longer than it should have, see the reasons listed above. Nice use of a narrow sliver of land here. Thanks for highlighting it with your cache Nothing up my sleeve.

Off to the basketball once again - may as well grab a cache on the way and a few after the game. A beautiful 40 degrees in the shade so a few was all I got before heading home to the air-conditioning.

A quick find here. Dang it was hot - time to head home.

***Thanks Nothing up my sleeve for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Found it.Nice hide

Thanks for the cache. KillBillAgain

Took a while to find this one as I didn’t want to ruin the foliage. But after searching elsewhere, I returned and started moving things (carefully) and came up with the find.

I found this D1.0/T1.5 Traditional on 4/11/2022 at 19:06. It was find #15780 for me. Thanks Nothing up my sleeve for placing and maintaining this for us to enjoy in the wonderful state of South Australia.

Lovely community garden. Great hide and fun rocks to also find.

Wow that was cool with mum and dad and Mookie!!

Thank for bringing me to this location, what a beautiful little spot. I took my time here, even sat on the seat for a few minutes to take this little nugget in

Awesome spot

Good for rocks and trains too!

Tftc also came across some SA rocks lying around the general area

An easy find tonight on a caching adventure with pie_mom. Tftc

What a lovely use of this small piece of land. Thanks for bringing me here. Quick find.

Well.. the monkeys mate lives very close to this spot but since she has been driving, I no longer need to park close by to pick her up. Good on the community for a brilliant job in a previously sussed out hiding spot. I missed it completely until today. Actually I was saving it for my accidental current streak as an emergency, but after work tonight it was all I could manage. A mega commuter train chugged on by, given the track is shut to these machines, we were both a bit confused..... Meanwhile Torrens Road is closed to us smaller traffic...

Thankyou for bringing us to a lovely peaceful spot, nice container (I have one of those put away to use....... one day) You have given me some ideas "Nothing up my sleeve"

After a number of weeks break over the silly season it was time once again for the members of the Befuddled animals to again start seeking those elusive hides on our usual Wednesday wanderings.

A late scratching by the starfish due to a temporary illness left the Rat and Adder to start the year with a few newly published hides in the areas we had already visited and a target of some newly published puzzles that had popped up since our last outing.

A quick find at GZ in a quaint location. Fortunately there were no residents at home for the allergic Rat to worry about.

Signed and replaced as found.

Thank you for the cache Nothing up my sleeve, found 5/01/2022, 1:02:21 PM

I had been to an early morning event and had some spare time so I did a bit of caching in this area. [^]
A lovely little garden that I would never have known about if not for caching.
Cache quickly found although my fingers took a little while to get the container open.
Thanks for the cache Nothing up my sleeve.

Like the Blues Brother this afternoon, I was On A Mission From God.
No Insects were harmed in the quest.
