Good spot TFTC

Found it! TFTCThanks for the brief history of this area. Hard to imagine this area without any houses. Left Little Fish's Piratemania Antipodean Race 2022 Tag TB9Z9K0 Trying to find its way back to the UKNot sure how to log this since it wasn't logged when I found it? Perhaps next person can sort this pls?

Quick find on rainy day out to grab caches in our new local area. TFTC

This must be where 'Elsewhere' is. BFE hides everywhere!TFTC BFE

Thanks

Tftc!! Muggles everywhere without a care

After being on the sick list for the last few weeks I decided some fresh air was in order. So I headed out to the north east suburbs to clean a few unfound caches off my map. Twenty caches were sought with 18 found...of which 15 were BFE caches. Thanks Bob for those 15 hides and to all other cache owners as well (and please excuse my generic logs). Fortunately there weren't too many muggles about today so finding the caches was pretty straight forward - although the traffic in the Ingle Farm Shopping Centre car park was a law unto itself. No poles were needed and the ladder came out once. TFTC.

During Leap Mega,Find and Sign the log as EV and Thank you for the hunt.

Found it with Deafteam

Found it awesome Great with DeafVW DeafPhantom Crank1 Everlasting

Finally after few attempts lol

last cache of 10 tried today. My nephew spotted it.Out geocaching with my nephews for some holiday fun.

Nice spot to put it, it was my last cache before lunch

In the area visiting my sister and mother. Walking in the sunlight in order to reset my body is internal clock, as it took me about 30 hours to get here from the East Coast of the United States.Absolutely no problem at all finding this container. TFTC!

Tftc

I started to bark up the wrong tree, but had an ideas moment. TFTC

Hey good little spot there. Potentially might need a new sign in book soon. Thanks for the cache

Found - thanks Bob. Quick find this time.

Thanks Bob! This is a well created and maintained cache hidden in a clever place. Don't step backwards onto the busy road as you're seeking a low angle looking for the cache

Easy find.. very much like the other hiding spot in the “series”

A lovely drive through the estate. I remember when alot of these homes were being built and the year Kmart was opened at Ingle farm. Already some houses are being demolished and new ones in their place. Thanks for another lovely stroll and find

Nice easy find on the way home from work today

TFTC SL

Another one of the farm series ticked off. TFTC!

First one so fun to find amazing spot

After a nice walk along dry creek linear park with the geofam and geodogs, couldn't leave a cache so close without bagging it. TFTC

Another quick and easy find

TFTC

A nice easy find

I found your D1.5/T1.5 Micro Traditional called Once: A Farm, Walkleys on 27 January 2023. It was find #17528 for me. Thank you Bob From Elsewhere for placing this cache for our enjoyment in the wonderful state of South Australia.

Yay time for a Tuesday Trekking, For a trio of Geo animals.
The Starfish picked up the Rat from the Rat's nest.
We then made our to pick up the Snake from the Snake Pit.
Our goal for today was to pick up any solved puzzles and anything that popped up on the map.
We made our way to Bobland, via a few other stops.
The Starfish parked the geo mobile.
A quick find for the slithering Snake.
Stamped the logbook and returned the cache to it's hiding place.
Then it was on to the next cache. TFTC

The Tuesday Trekking for members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving group came around quickly and as usual the group set off in search of solved puzzles and anything else coming into view. I picked up S.A. Sewer Rat from the rat's nest, then on to Blackadders den and he jumped in. [^] The it was off towards Mawson Lakes and on to BFE Land Not all of us required every cache so here are the caches I was able to put my name in the log.

A very quick find by the snake in the obvious spot.

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

The weekly Tuesday Trek with the Befuddled. A Starfish, Adder and the Rat.

The targets were all the newly published Letterbox for suburbs series but alas with many others still to be found on our route we only managed to find a few of our targets.

All caches were is good condition unless stated otherwise.

After avoiding the prying eyes of a couple of muggles parked nearby the Adder quickly located the prize. Signed and stealthily replaced for the next finder.



Thank you for the cache Bob From Elsewhere Find Number 10327 on 24/01/2023

Hi Bob, just wandering around my old Neighbourhood- a few more homes planned across GJ Road I see. Have to be a galah to see a farm here now. All the best Trudi TFTC SL

Thanks Bob From Elsewhere for this cache. Out this evening to collect a few new ones that appeared along this avenue. Quickly located, signed and returned. All good here. Find #7656 at 8.29pm

Passing by today with time to spare, so stopped for a look. Found BFE style in between traffic because I knew where to look . Just happened to be passing again 3 hours later and a full muggle work crew had set up 6 metres from the cache. [:o]. You can be lucky sometimes! (Cache condition = Good) TNLN SL Thanks for the cache BFE.

A beautiful morning so out with the gravel bike for some exercise and caches multitasking
TFTC

Great! Nice spot to put !

Found it! Thanks

Was out this way for an early morning event and had time to kill before a lunch catch up with friends so of course there were caches to find.

A quick find here just as it started raining.

Thanks for the cache BFE.

In the area after the Supa's Bball training. Thanks

Found while in the area after dark. Tra La Laaa

Found with Csaba! and SupaOrange. Turtle Out

Found during an impromptu visit to the northern and eastern suburbs after attending the '7am Caching Catch up - #030' event in North Adelaide. Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere!

I am loving this series covering the recent history of the north eastern suburbs, which is where I grew up. The way I remember it, there wasn’t much between Montague and Grand Junction roads in this area other than the old Yatala buildings back in the early 70’s when we moved into Modbury.

Thanks for the research and the cache Bob From Elsewhere.

I loved it

very smart

With life getting in the way of caching, it was a late start this afternoon .
Our GPS wanted us somewhere else, but we knew better [8].
TNLNSL.
Thanks Bob.

Caught up with Mattycat for another tuesday adventures focusing on Ansty hill and some nearby caches, after tiring ourselves out on the hills we decided on some driveby caches to finish off the day this was one of them, our last for the day a quick find in twilight as we started to make our way home
TFTC Bob From Elsewhere

Met up with Mr froghoppin and headed down to the foothills of suburbia for a little caching fun,

then we come to your cache! Kind of remember some of this area transforming !

Much thanks to Bob From Elsewhere for placing and maintaining this cache on our metro SA geo game map

Searching , finding and signing cache logs alone or with family and friends using some or all of the resources of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife), Whereyougo, Garmin Montana 750i, Montana 680t, Etrex 35, Samsung S21u, Samsung S9, with Geocaching App, c:Geo, or Geooh Go, and Android Auto and other maps... or often with just plain old dumb luck Plenty of that luck stuff actually!!!
*Logs are composed and published using GSAK of course.*

A couple of maintenance assist tasks on the trail caches too. Looked like there had been some extreme weather since we were here last... oh yep, the floods the day after we left!!!


---
Caching is a hazardous activity!
Keep a lookout for sand traps, snakes, surprise cliffs, boxing roos, wombats, bulldust, and floods,
try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall out of trees...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- but especially lookout for any old bugs from alpha to omega !!! . [xx(]

Try to keep Travel Bugs as the only bugs you share and pass on
Now everything's opening more - even more important to sanitise and safely distance!!!


Really good of all those placing quality caches out and about around the countryside areas,
in sensible safe places especially! - it keeps our game safe, fun, and interesting

Thanks heaps for reading all this addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere, apparently! You win a virtual smile for the effort and getting to the end of the log

Put my hand straight on it
Tftc

Found with The X-Trailers as we headed home after a great days caching. TFTC

Found it good coords

Today with some spare time this morning I was keen for a 30min walk, so made my way over to this one, parked up and made a nice walk along the trail for a 4km walk.

Once back at the car made the short walk to this cache, no body going past made for an easy find

Thanks for the cache

A quick find!

Cache found and logged. Does the traffic ever stop?

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

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.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Weeeeee

No farms. Old John would’ve amazed at his farm today. Sure a few fruit trees in the back yards. Security cameras, phone towers, cars with tow bars and with big lights, no horses, no plough and lots of things he couldn’t begin to imagine. Oh and plastic stuff. How his block has changed. Oh, and damn light poles.

Thanks Bob From Elsewhere and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

A quick find here after attending the early morning event this morning.

Parked nearby and made a short walk.

TFTC

Found It!
A quick find here late in the day. I believe my Great-Grandpa grew up on Walkleys Farm many years ago. It's a bit sad that there isn't anything left of it today.

Owl was on her way to have coffee with a friend who was conveniently located where this farm once was. A quick detour and the cache was swiftly harvested.

No sign of a farm now.
Quick find here.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Now I get what the hint means

Thanks Bob from Elsewhere for the hide and history lesson.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Saw this published yesterday, but B was not well, so had to postpone the find.
Today, all was good, and had an errand to run, so it was easy to make the detour, park close by and wander over and make the find. Reached in and grabbed the cache in the first place I felt. Gotta love that. Signed the log and then replaced all as found.
Once a farm, now a found cache.
Gratias pro cache Bob From Elsewhere
