I wobbled the pushbike along Percy this morning to find the park.Plenty parking for car or bike and pooches are welcomed !!So through the gate I went,my imaginary dog 'Shadow' in tow.Together we soon sniffed out the cache's hiding spot,and retreated to the seating to sign the paperwork SmileOoh !! But we were too slow !!A crowd of muggles bearing dogs turned up [:o]Good job Shadow was there to distract them for a minute,so I could sneak the cache back in its hiding place Big GrinTFTC

Giddy with success after completing a nearby harder-than-usual multi, Ive added this one to today’s list. I believe it is school holidays, but the park was deserted this morning apart from one lonely looking ibis. Hence, an interrupted search, find, sign and return, and then back on the road.

I’ve intermittently had a Percy Street tag on my feet for many years, but I don’t think I’ve been this far up the street before. Very pleasant.

Thanks for the cache MacOzoFam.

After the event Owl headed home the long way, picking up caches that had sprung up while she was on various holidays. Never a fan of playground caches, but the park was mercifully free of muggles and she made a quick find.

I drive past this park often. When I remember, i stop to go and try to find the cache. Inevitably there is someone hanging around and my attempt is thwarted.

Today it was around 37 degrees and I thought I would be safe. I was right.

It was just a short wander over to GZ for a quick find and and sign, then back to the air-conditioned comfort of the car.

Thanks MacOzoFam for the cache.

The Tuesday Trekking for members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving group came around very quickly. I picked up S.A. Sewer Rat from the rat's nest, then on to Blackadders den where he jumped in. [^] Then it was off towards the Golden Northeast suburbs for a wander looking for newly solved puzzles, GSM, Former Reel caches now named It's: and anything else we came across. Cool Not all of us required every cache so here are the caches I was able to put my name in the log. Razz

A quick find here. Smile

That weekly Tuesday Trek with the Befuddled came around again. A Starfish, Adder and the Rat once more targeted the North Eastern suburbs with the plan to seek more of the letterbox hides. Today we were more successful with finding nearly all of what we sought. There were a few other hides found on our route.

All caches were is good condition unless stated otherwise.

The Rat soon had her hands on this one so the log was signed by all and returned to where it was found.




Thank you for the cache MacOzoFam Find Number 10366 on 7/02/2023

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was out shopping in the general area and saw this was not that far away so made a detour in, parked outside the park and wandered in. Spotted the object at GZ and reached into the obvious spot and felt the cache which was removed and taken to a nearby table to sign the log and then reassemble. Wandered back to GZ and replaced the cache as found. Nice quiet park.
Gratias pro cache MacOzoFam

Off with froghoppin and Sebastbat and Jack on another quick tour of town. Us country folks don't get down so often and there's always a good selection of caches to visit!

A couple of adult muggles seemed to not even notice us on the seesaw... luckily no kids around!

Much thanks to MacOzoFam for locating and maintaining this cache on our ever evolving SA cache map!

And a happy new year 2023 to all. May the caches be with you!

Exploring all over wherever we can - searching, spotting hidden items and signing cache logs 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 a guess or plain old dumb luck WinkCoolBig Grin
A lot of the luck stuff really !!!

Beware ! Caching is a very hazardous activity!
Look out for sand, mud, floodwaters, snakes, surprise cliffs, roos, wombats, things falling from trees, bulldust, and floods, and try not to get tetanus from rusty mint tins and don't fall off your ladder...
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- and do watch out for bugs !!! . [xx(]

Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on Wink (Covid cancels caching!)
Keep a safe distance - cache the countryside Big Grin


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

We do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, apparently! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Wink Maybe if I worked out where I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and we can put an end to these long logs !!!

I lived around the corner in Far Out Street in the late 70's. If you remember the 70's you were not really there.

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 today.
Every Saturday morning, I drop off kid to language school. Today, I tried this cache as it's only 400m away.
Parked on the street outside the Percy Street Park. No one was around as it's early Saturday morning.
Found the cache easily, at the second place I checked.
Signed the log sheet, and put it back.
Thanks for the new cache, MacOzoFam.
