Early morning meeting nearby and just time to grab this cache....found as the sun rose. Thanks for the hide!

Thx

quick and easy find, thanks to some help. log book is quite full so will need replacing ASAP. loved it, thanks for the cache

Found after a little searching.TFTC, TTT

Checked the map after a refuel at BP (both me and the vehicle) and headed to GZ. Took a while to settle and was 10m out for me today when found. All good, logs a little full, and replaced as found.An early start with work this morning, in the local bakery before 0600 collecting food for colleagues and delivering just after 7. A bit of vehicle refuelling was next on the cards and some modest networking and meeting new folks. When all that was done a quick meeting then into the city for a bite of some of the many riches available caching-wise. Picked off a few Ad Lab stages when possible and targeted the Virtuals and Earthcaches mostly. Thanks to all SA cache hiders for your efforts and maintenance.

TFTC! Log book is full.

This morning, I went to Mawson Lakes and Davoren Park for business, and I tried 3 caches on the way. Found 2, DNF 1.This was the first find for today.At GZ, cache has been found easily. Thanks for the hint.The cache is in good condition, and it's smaller than I expected.I signed the last space in the log sheet. Now the log sheet is full.Placed the cache back, when no one else was watching.Thanks for the cache, thomas_tha_tank.------**South Australia will host a Leap Day Mega Event on 29th February 2024. GCA1DNA: The Great Leap Forward. Count down: 24 days.**

I was craving a bit of fast food for lunch so in my work break I headed to the nearby establishment. After eating I walked around the block to find this cache. GZ was deserted so I could search in peace. Cache found without problems. Thanks for the cache thomas_tha_tank.# # #13963 # #

Picked up Chingola and then headed out for a day of caching. Soon joined by JJ52 for added fun, a variety of caches were found, along with a new lunch spot and a maintenance run. This was a bit challenging, due to the muggle factor, but some artistic work came off swimmingly.

Found it 29/ 1/24

Yay

Great HideThanks thomas_tha_tank for the cacheJames0116Sunday, 17 Dec 20237:56:26pm ACDT3944

TFTC - needs a new log book

Time for another tuesday caching adventure with Mattycat, with no set plan for the day we found ourselves in the northern suburbs, last visit here we tried to out wait a muggle sitting at GZ but eventually left for another day, fast forward to today and despite the facility being open GZ was muggle free, a quick find and sign for another in the seriesTFTC thomas_tha_tank

Oh dear Saturday morningkids swimming lessons ..muggles.. usually a recipe for disaster but today it was a winnerThanks thomas_tha_tank for bringing me here and contributing to this great game for others to enjoy. Happy trails, Deanside

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Was heading north this morning to do some shopping at a location not too far away, so a small detour on the way was in order. Arrived, and parked nearby. Headed to GZ and quickly realised that Saturday morning swimming lesson time was not a great time to visit this cache. However, after surveying the location, quickly developed a method of searching that was not too obvious inbetween parenting muggles. Started a methodical search, and afer a while, the cache was in hand, log signed, and replaced as found.Gratias pro cache thomas_tha_tank

On my roundtrip along Australia with Oopie we are douing always some caches.Today we ware on the way in Adelaide and and we did a few nice caches.CO thanks for bringing us on this nice place and make this cache.

Together with TravelSer Im Down Under. By motorhome we are travelling through the East, South and the middle of Australia.During our trip we visited several caches. Most of them, like these one, brought us to very Nice spots and helped us discovering the area. Thanks a lot for bringing us here. GreetsHans aka 00pie

TFTC!! was a bit away from the map's coordinates, but the actual spot was still the same idea of where to look.

Had a look at all angles after a while of searching but we found it

Felt a bit silly

I woke up super early this morning to squeeze in some extra cache finding time before heading out to Napperby for a day trip.

I travelled around Elizabeth, Davoren Park, Evanston and Gawler to grab a Jasmer grid spot I needed and find some solved mystery caches in the area.

I checked a few spots and eventually the cache was found tucked away nicely.

The cache is in good condition and the log was signed as "Goldy".

Thanks thomas_tha_tank for this traditional cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3377 on the 13th of August 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!**

Clocking up cache finds for the July Wheel of Challenges, whilst working toward other challenge goals and milestones!

Sneaky hide for a small cache Any smaller and we'd have a nano rant on our hands

Great spot

Found on a trip to the north of Adelaide with Freddo.

It was a great day to be out and about and we targeted a few caches of interest - some simple drive-bys and others involving a walk or a pole.

Thanks thomas_tha_tank for the cache.

Quick cache find here once we looked under the correct item. No swimming this morning.

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! Some people like to face the wall . TFTC

Found it.

I came past here earlier in the day. There were masses of people, so I ventured back with a friend this evening and found the cache quickly, stamped, and placed back as found.

Cute little container found in a v quick lunch break. TFTC. But yeah, good spot for chewing gum. Indeed!

Yet another Tuesday Trekking for members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving group. Yet again I picked up S.A. Sewer Rat from the rat's nest, then on to Blackadders Snakepit where we jumped in the Snake-mobile. [^] A few close to the Snakepit were done then it was off towards the northeast suburbs trying to finish all the caches we still had there and anything else we came across.
My GPS decided it would have a hissy fit and not work so it was cache by phone again by me. [^] We decided we would head for the Henley Beach CITO and caught up with some old friends. Then it was back home via a few newer caches and some DNFs from last month. Not all of us required every cache so here are the caches I was able to put my name in the log.

The cache was a quick find despite a constant stream of muggles. Luckily three of meant could ride distraction whilst the cache was recovered, stamped and displaced.

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

Three befuddled puzzlers went out For a Tuesday Trekking.
The Starfish picked up the Rat, from the Rat's den.
We then wandered down to the Snake's pit.
Changed geo mobiles.
lucky for us, not to many muggles round.
A quick find and stamp. Tftc

Out and about in the northern suburbs finding caches along the way. A bit tricky with the retrieval but I swooped in and made the find during a brief opportunity when the area was clear. Thanks for the cache thomas_tha_tank!

It's a tricky location with people coming and going all the time. Someone asked if I was looking for some spare chooies. Thanks for the hide Thomas_tha_tank.

so much fun to find did this in our first geocache trip together!

Thank you for the rolly adventure

Thanks Thomas, bumped into my sister who just finished her water exercise. Nice and quiet 8am. All in good nick.

Nice easy find. Found in first place I looked.

TFTC SL

Made myself walk from home for this one. No swimming involved. Met a muggle and introduced her to caching.
TFTC

cannot fine whatever it is

Couldn’t find it at all l, we looked everywhere

A quick stop on the way to the badlands. The find was easy enough but avoiding muggles was the challenge. Very busy here on a warm morning. Thank you for the placement of the The Geocaching Olympics - Artistic Swimming cache thomas_tha_tank find number 10259 on 2 January 2023 at 11:02 am

A quickly find just to finish the year!
Mat 2023 be filled with great caches galore

Out for a days caching out North. Not the most productive day, quite a few DNFs.

A quick find.

All caches found were in good order unless otherwise noted.

TFTC

Was out this way to visit a friend recovering from an operation and, of course, had to do some caching as well. This was one of four newish traditionals found.
Followed the advce in the hint and good co-ords had me resting in the right spot which was nicely in the shade. Am liking the new design of the container.
Thanks thomas_tha_tank for putting out this cache for us all to find.
Cache #12717

This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).

After visiting dad in Modbury, time for a few caches before heading back up the hill.

My second Geocaching Olympics cache for today. You can add my name of the growing list of people that didn’t know that this was here. A few people going in and out of the complex, but not hard to pick a gap for retrieval and return.

Thanks again thomas_tha_tank.

A great day with Michells&hound and JJ52. Someone once said Team Work makes the Dream Work. Today was the Dream Work. I had a fun time driving around the Northern suburbs and stopping to find caches. Listening to the cricket( Aussies beat South Africa in 2 days at the Gabba) while we traveled between caches. Beautiful weather.

A day out had been organised with Michells&hound and allister w heading out north for some letterboxes and newer caches that none of us had found. It was a good day for caching although did get a bit warm in the afternoon. We had a fun day and covered quite a bit of ground and only had one DNF which was good. [^]

Looked in a few places before making the find.

Thanks for the cache thomas_tha_tank.

Fun day out with JJ52 and Allisterw hitting the bad lands for some dejavú finds, and many letterboxes and then onto the Northern suburbs to make a dent in our combined unfound caches there.
It was a perfect day for caching no scary critters and only 1 dnf. 40 finds for me which was a good haul.
Great team effort today!
So many spots to choose from! Got it in the end. TFTC

Today on the way home from parkrun today I detoured past this cache, I have heard of this place many times but never been here. A short search in between local swim goers. Cache found and is all good

Thanks for the cache

Stopped on my way past, long after the ftfer... lol
Never even knew this place is here!
A quick find on another in this growing series...
