This morning, I went to Gilles Plains for business. After that, I tried this cache, as it's in the area.Parked on Tasman Ave, Gilles Plains, and walked to GZ.Cache has been found easily. Signed the log sheet. Cover the cache well.Thanks for the Letterbox Cache, Bob From Elsewhere.
Such a peaceful spot to come and see the stream running and the frogs croaking and the ducklings frockling in the stream, pity about the traffic noise, but the playground is great and we all had fun. Thank you for enticing us to this area.
I had to be out of the house for a couple of hours this afternoon, so thought a short caching trip might be in order.Ive not been to the Boblands for a while and there were a few new caches of interest in the area, so I headed off there.This was one of my caches of interest. It was quickly found and was in good condition.Thanks Bob From Elsewhere for the cache.
Another early knock off for me to take the long road home. Just a cache find for the day and my run continues A quick find and home I go after signing the logbook of course TFTC Bob From ElsewhereKeep smiling
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.
Heading into the hills today, there are quite a few solved puzzles I would like to put ink into the logbook. I parked in the driving range carpark and ventured across the road. 4 times in fact. Upon arrival I found the contents of the cache strewn across the ground. I did not find the container. I went back to the car and grabbed a replacement, which has been suitably stowed well out of sight. I will attach pics of the old book. Thanks for the cache BFE, everything now in good condition. Find #9577 at 10.21am
I dropped my son off to play badminton and had one and a half hours to kill. Wasnt really worth going home so I picked a pocket of four nearby caches to tackle. I parked nearby and set off on foot. All caches found without problems. Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere.# # #14183 # #
Quick easy find, cache is in good condition. The parking information was useful! TFTC
Found while passing through the area today after checking the parking signage very carefully. Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere!
Found it! First find on a post work walk around some north-eastern suburbs. Quick find here far enough away from the busy road not to catch any muggles eyes! (I hope!) TFTC!
Taking a walk along the dry Creek Trail, heading east. No problems finding this one. TFTC!
Christmas trip to Adelaide 2023. Day 14. Blackwood Day 12. On a very hot day I had planned to go out after lunch to the north of Adelaide. Not my best plan, but there you go. I finished a couple of LAB sets I have had going for some time and then set about some caching. I tried to keep the distance from the car to the caches fairly short, but the sun was pretty vicious and I did not always manage it. I had a few DNFs or just plain stuck moments that also left me in the sun longer than I had hoped. In the end I had a great afternoon and found plenty of caches.I parked on the back street, but had a longer walk. At least the cache was found in the logical spot and I was able to get back in the car as quickly as possible. A theme for this hot afternoon.Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere45231.1 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2011 Lucky You A#199**Albida**
Yes I parked legally then found the cache, stamped the log and put it all back where I found itTFTC
A Monday caching with Mr Froghoppin for a change of pace! nice warm day kept the muggles at bay As expected was a little challenging finding the parking spot - google helps! Then some workers nearby could have been a problem, but they didn't seem at all interested in us. So all good logs posted!Thank you Bob From Elsewhere for the cache hide and ongoing care and maintenance ---------------- ----------------------Caching country and city... wherever we go... In a dangerous world filled with rusty old mint tins and solid lumps falling from trees - - - a cache a day keeps us agile... sort of --------Caches are logged using the resources of gsak, garmin, and androids, occasionally AI too! (And a little rubber stamp ) Work gets in the way - and some may take longer to log than others due to mixed technology and need for sleep! The skill and talent of some Zenior Zombies helps, and maybe a spot of luck too [:o)]----------Think Covid's over ? Well no, actually... and we don't want your flu, gastro or cold germs either - so practise safe caching please! Ensure Travel Bugs are the Only bugs you share and pass on Clean as you go and cache the countryside Big thanks to those placing quality caches out and about around our country areas, in nice safe places and containers especially! - it keeps our game fun for all Of course we do appreciate if you actually did read all this extra addition to the log word count! There's a challenge somewhere out there, or so we've been told! You win a virtual smiley for the effort and getting to the end of the log Maybe if I worked out where it is I could do it and go back to normal logs again ! If you find the challenge let me know and perhaps we can put an end to these long logs !!! [:o)]C'est fini... For now... ... until next time! PS:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GCA1DNA - Great Leap Forward ... or is it backward... it takes an extra day to get to March 29.2.24 The Mega Event of the year. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And don't forget to put the June Long Weekend in your diary for 2024 too... it'll be fun and funky
Time for another crazy days caching with the cat, a warmish day enough to keep most parks and playgrounds muggle free and easier for searching, another opportunity to collect a few more letterbox caches missed on our last trip to town, quick find for us todayTFTC Bob From Elsewhere
A trip down memory lane with sisters. A magnificent area to be enjoyed by the public. Tftc

Both winners.
Thank you for the placement and ongoing upkeep.

Nice find. Had to shelter under the trees from the rain. Found and signed. Thanks for the fun, Bob!
Parked on the back road as suggested and enjoyed the short walk across the park [^].The creek was running a banker, but at least the cache was high and dry .TNLNSL.Thanks for another one Bob.
Out on the bike for some exercise after far too long. Had to combine it with some caching and this was the fifth of seven caches found.
The perfect cache when out on the bike. Parked about 2 metres away from GZ and made a quick find where it had to be.
Thanks to Bob From Elsewhere for another in the Letterbox Cache series.
Cache #13529 for me.

Nice sunny day for getting a Cache. Wasn't too tricky to get to; just gotta watch your footing. TFTC!
Made a complete hash of getting to gz
Google took me all around the back streets and I ended up in Tasman Avenue. That's OK as I'm parked right next to the reserve. Maps showing me it's on the Grand Junction side of Dry Creek. I found a path that took me to the footpath along GJ Rd. I walked across the wet grass to the indicated location but the compass indicated that it was 25m on the other side of the creek. I back tracked to the other side and got as close as I could to indicated GZ compass now showed it was 14 meters back on the other side. I retraced my path to the other side again until GZ Magical was reached. I had actually been standing within 1m the first time. Bah bumbug. A typical Bob container was located and log signed. Thanks Bob From Elsewhere for the exercise, now the sun is peeking out.

Owl was between appointments and despite the fading light and soggy conditions she decided to fill in the time with the obvious activity. Unfortunately her GPS ran out of juice on the way to GZ but she channelled her inner BFE to make the find with only one false step.
Found this with gridge98 after Parkrun in the city on a cold rainy Saturday morning.
Lucky two of us in the car here today, Courtneyrose was able to do the honours and find this one nicely tucked away.
This morning after parkrun in the city, cournteyrose_ and I headed out to the north eastern suburbs to find a few unfound caches.
Thanks for the cache

Our thanks to uncle BFE again. I parked carefully but still got wet feet as my forefathers did.
Thanks Bob From Elsewhere and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Just the one cache for today, after visiting dad in Modbury. This letterbox is somewhat appropriate as when my parents were deciding where to finally settle back in 1969, 5086 in Tasman Avenue, just across the creek here, was on the short list. I think they did well by going with 5092 instead.
The cache is in mint condition. Thanks for the cache and the series Bob From Elsewhere.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
The email appeared but with one car in for repairs and B out in the other, had to wait until the car was returned before heading out to make the find.
Parked nearby and wandered over the bridge and headed for GZ. Reached GZ and spotted the hide immediately. Signed the log and then returned as found. Was pleased with silver after a while since publishing.
