Ride a Cock Horse Gumeracha, South Australia, Australia
By Rav 4 Raiders on 03-Jan-04. Waypoint GCHEEM

Time to archive this cache.

Had previous attempts when too many muggles or cache was missing, managed to find this one fairly quickly. SL Thanks for the cache

Found on my first geo day. Following Dr Owl and Austin M&M.

First real day of attempting caching. Following another car doing the same thing

Found It!
Quick find. I remember climbing up this horse back when I started primary school. I don't think it's changed much either in all those years...
TFTC

On their way to lunch Mrs Aussie M&M, Mrs Honeysucker and Owl stopped for just one more cache. Easily spotted as the lid is missing. No time to ride the horse today - the bakery calls!

Great day with the kids.

Was here for a birthday party so quickly slipped away and found it. Log needs to be replaced. TFTC

Clue helped. Nice bonus was the fabulous photo opportunities from some inquisative peacocks.

Easy find. Thanks

Quick one after the Gumeracha medieval festival. Thank you.

After the rain we decided to go to the Barossa today to sample a few wines and find a few caches. This one was soon found then a few photos of the horse and we were away.
Thanks to Rav 4 Raiders for this cache

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found while on my Tour De Koala with Flipper&co.
Last day in Oz before heading home.

TFTC! Sneaky and small.
Took car, left bumble bee

Climbed the horse again today, first time back in over 35 years. Log is very full but we had no spare paper so wrote sideways on log.
Has been a great trip to Adelaide bringing my daughter to all the places I visited as a kid. Thanks for placing this cache at such a lovely attraction.

Great little hide while visiting the big rocking horse
Thanks for the cache .

I flew into Melbourne and rented a car to come to Oz Mega. This is my first geocaching trip to Australia and I am enjoying it so far. Of course I searched for and found a few caches between Melbourne and Murray Bridge.

After registering for Oz Mega I did some caching as part of Team Z (Grub Fred, JMCz, and myself). Team Z did the Oz Mega 2014 SA series, the Oz Mega 2014 Signal series, the Wandering Heroes series, and the Fruit Loop series. Team Z found over six hundred (600) caches in the four days of caching as a team. Monday night Team Z had a cook out and said our good-byes; JMCz and Mrs. Cz headed north to see more of Australia, Grub Fred and wife headed home, and myself headed to Adelaide to visit SEMIK and Skippy.

Today I am caching with Skippy. He is showing me some caches in the Adelaide area that he thinks I will enjoy finding, and this is one of them. This is my cache find number six (6) for the day and cache find number twenty thousand forty six (20046) overall.

May your year 2014 be better than your year 2013. May all your days bring more smiles than frowns . Cache on.

Found it

Easy find

On the road today together with Cats&Dragons & Slieschke collecting geocaches in and around Adelaide. Signed the logs as “SAC” (and some with another letter combinations).
Wow what a huge horsy.... I played a while with the little horse next to the geocache before moving on to more geocaching. TFTC

Found with alpenmilch80 and Cats&Dragons following the Mega. Signed as SAC, or in some cases, CAS!

I've visited here on multiple times throughout my childhood so it was great to grab a cache at this location today.

Thanks!

In the company of Alpenmilch80 & Slieschke for a great days caching following on from the OZMEGA and as this was so close it seemed a shame not to collect it.
what a great spot, not quite Banbury Cross but nevertheless a great spot for a cache

TFTC

Easy cache at an attraction I had no idea existed!

Found with the geo-trio. kayla_saurus and macca231 left a car

Found by The Geo-Trio @kayla_saurus @princess-lisa

Found on a day out with princess-lisa and macca231 The Geo-Trio TFTC!!

We stopped here before arriving at Murray Bridge so Miss Shifter could climb to the top of the rocking horse and Mrs Shifter located the cache while Miss Shifter was climbing the ladders.
Thanks for the hide Rav 4 Raiders.

Over in Adelaide visiting family before the Oz Mega on the weekend. Out with the cousins on a glorious day, who we introduced to caching only an hour earlier! - Phoenix_4
We visited the Rocking Horse and once all the Muggles cleared the kids started looking for the cache They're definitely hooked!! Lol

Great spot. Hidden away very nicely

Very sneaky hide! Lots of muggles around as it was school holidays but no one took any notice of me! TFTC

Quick grab while groins was climbing. TFTC.

Today we decided to drive up into the Adelaide Hills and then thru the Baroosa. Had to be very selective as to the caches we were going to attempt as we also wanted to do the tourist thing and see the sights as well. Parked in the car park and went into the complex for a late breakfast. This one was not on our to do list but I missed the turn off I wanted so we decided to drive the extra 5klm and see this place. Did the usual thing and started my search out side the fence then saw GZ inside the fence. You can see the top of the container in its hide as there is no top cover to the Camo outer container. Good placement. TFTC Rav 4 Raiders.

Quick find. Great location. Fun family stop.

Camped at Mt Crawford Forest for a few days, on our travel around Oz co-inciding with attending the SA Oz Mega @ Murraybridge. We noticed that there was a Maker Madness Event within striking distance so the plan was hatched to attend today. We left the caravan at 0730hrs and returned after 5pm. [^]

Well we thoroughly enjoyed the tourist drive to get today. Some of the tricky parking was interesting in the landcruiser. Think the WA plates, helped us with other cars giving us space! [:o)] A beautiful scenic route on a glorious day had us passing close by to this cache so of course we had to stop

So many people out enjoying the sunshine, loads and loads of motorbike riders being a Sunday!

What a lovely spot. We were here pretty early, but the gates were open so we parked in the carpark but alas we did not enter the area. Would love to return sometime looks very interesting.

TFTC

Quick grab at the toy factory. An surprised this hasn't been muggled by the maintenance staff cutting lawns etc.

Out for a day's caching with Dennisc52 and we found 12 and only DNFd 1 prior to meeting up with CP Wanderer, AussieM&M and Dr Owl for another 15 smileys
Had some amazing walks in some pretty spots while doing the locus cache [^]

Another quick find which was great due to the muggles everywhere.
A mate of mine, now deceased, and I climbed this horse years ago when I was still able to manage heights.

Lovely day out with muggle friend and kids so couldn't leave this one behind. Easy find. TFTC

Hot day for a stroll to the rocking horse, found the cache though. TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Nice late night find on my way home. Thanks! It's a good one

Tftc did not realise the rocking horse was here b4 I went looking 4 the cache!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found it. Definitely stealth mode! Muggles everywhere.

Found with Jalinrenos while showing relatives from the UK some of the highlights. TFTC

Tftc. Good family spot

Muggle city here today, great wooden toy shop well worth a long look. They make a nice lunch and GREAT CHOC MILK SHAKES !!! Cache has lost it's top and a bit damp. Easy find TFTC

Big horse

Big horse. Nice park

Great place to visit

Another great find

Thought I would check the area whist visiting my sister in Adelaide. Just happened to be sitting 20m from this one. Easy find and good spot

Quick find after the lil kids as well as the big kids climbed to the top of the biggest rocking horse ever.

Thanks to Rav_4_Raiders.

Found by findemhideem great spot tftc

Easy to find but hard to get!

We found this cache on our tour to Barossa Valley. Easy to find, but hard to get to the logbook.

Hard to retrieve... But had nice horse ride whilst trying to find it!

Was out this way, so why not! Good hide.

Found with muggle mother in law and Rebecca-grace26

Found caching with Ben7726
Was hard to get but eventually got it out

We found our first geocache at the rocking horse!

Difficult one to get to - love the inventiveness. We forgot a pen so we weren't able to sign the log but this was a fun find, thank you.

TFTC. Took nothing....left charm. (Lucky it floats)

Good work kids remember to carry some money on this cache

2531. Found with Relish64 on our Adelaide visit from Canberra.
We were heading out to the river to meet up with the cousins when this one appeared on the iPad. With the horse loving daughter in the back seat, we just had to call in on this one. It had us tricked for a while but then it was discovered. TFTC.

Here for my niece's 8th birthday party and thought I'd grab this one. TFTC!

Previously logged under the team account for Gizmos Gang. Re-logging with my individual account.
Had a DNF on this one years ago.
Finally we were here again during opening hours so had another look.
Cache like tube near GZ had us thinking it had been muggled, especially after the recent DNF's.
Took a different view and Mr Gizmo spotted the clever hide.
TNLNSL TFTC Good to finally mark this one as found.

We left this one for ages, due to DNFs on it. But today we nabbed it!
Great spot. Tftc

A great spot for a cache thanks

Only had a quick look for this one as there was intense muggle activity at GZ. TFTH.

This Texan team, new to the world of Geocaching failed to find this one. We sure had fun here though.

Out enjoying the day near my stomping grounds as a child, I grew-up around the the Gumeracha/Forreston area. The last visit I realised I was on the wrong side of the fence. As per last time, there were muggles and kids everywhere. I think I found gz, but was mystified where the cache was as it was filled with water.
Maybe third visit I will find it. Cheers Rav 4 Raiders for the sneaky hide.

Found it but it is desperately in need of attention. A very sodden piece of paper is all that was inside. We left a fresh dry piece of paper inside a money bag but that is very temporary. Needs new log.

Placed new temporary log, old log drenched. TFTC.

Easy find. Kids had fun looking at all the animals. TFTC

Had to pretend to take a photo whilst signing log. TFTC SL

Nice

Thanks, Nice find after a day at the Birdwood Farm day

a quick find on a brisk morning. Lots of muggles about.

Finally in here when the place is open. TFTC.

There is a deceptive looking cache-like tube in the ground right at GZ that has u wondering if the cache had been muggled; but a little bit of a closer look had the cache in hand ha a lot of fun here today - tnlnsl TFTC

This was to be my 4th DNF for the day in SA on day two of our four day Adelaide tour.

Horse must have run away with the cache

Found on a day out with sister and nieces. Enjoyed the rocking horse.

Easy find thanks!! Havent been to this place since i was a kid! Liked that we could sit inconspicuously on the rocks with sooooo many muggles around!

Previous log gave tipoff for narrowing down locale. Wanted to get pics of Lotzow kids at top, but with only one adult today I was afraid one of them would push the other over if left unattended at the top. Maybe another day.

Found on a family day caching for the scouts geocaching competition, thankyou.

A great family day out today as we had to go to a scout camp, we decided to spend the day caching our way up there. The day saw us get our individual 100th caches and our sister got her 200th cache, other sister got her 100th cache. We saw the chocolate factory and big rocking horse and finally got to camp in time for mum to hurt herself. Thankyou for the cache, we had a great day out.

Easy find, just had to wait for muggles to leave. Great view from top of rocking horse. TFTC

South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.

Today was the day to move on to Gawler. Just a short drive but we took all day. I know I have come here to get this one before. Either we were muggled out back then or I missed a log. Anyway it was all done this time.

Thanks.

Albida

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.

Today we were heading from Loxton to Gawler grabbing caches as we went......and Melba's Chocolates and the Big Rocking Horse are worth a stop......

Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.

Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.
