All gone.....

Again the wet soursobs deterred us from a thorough search.
Thanks anyway Junior ParrotHead for the cache.
I note it has now been archived.

Went and had a look today but we couldnt find it either.
With the gate being locked now we are going to archive this one

It was a day of frustrations - found GZ with a pen and blue marble in the dirt but no cache.

Had a good look for this one but the long grass on a very hot day had us a little bit nervous so we decided to leave it for another day.

Maybe we needed 8 sets of eyes and one set couldn't find it. The gate was locked so Mr S crawled through a gap. No luck today.

Mad dash through the gate/fence and didn't take too long to find the cache. I think this was the first cache in the evening where we started to use out lights in earnest. Cheers Gav [1573]

Finally getting around to logging the record breaker Thanks!

Kiwi Cache Raid: #176 @ 20:48. It would have looked funny to outsiders to see eight guys all scambling over the fence then all over the bank looking for this one. Just as well there were no muggles to be seen. Many thanks SA_ParrotHead.,,,,,,,,,

8:48 p.m. This cache was found on our record-breaking attempt to find the most caches in a 24 hours period; we ended up finding 195 all up.

Thanks to all the cachers who placed these interesting caches in Adelaide.

I only wish we could have spent more time appreciating the locations that we visited on our whistle stop tour.

TNLN

Another find during our 24 hour record attempt. TFTC.

Thanks to all Adelaide cachers for helping with our quest.

8:48:00 p.m. A quick find by the NZ cache record team.
Thanks to all Adelaide cachers for placing these caches to allow us to get the record.

Think we got lucky here, but eight setys of eyes certainly helps.

Had to get this one out of the way before getting to 1k - the brat boys tried it in our very early days and got sprung by gr8cherokee just about standing on top of the cache, and yep, you guessed it, they didn't find it (that time) - TFTC

A great walk before tea...I did have KFC by the way!!;)
Took Afl cards
Left Magic Cards.
Lovely place for a country boy to be now he lives down here in the big smoke.
Thanks Jr Parrot
Keep up the good work.

Is it worth a mention that the gate is very securely locked, chained and bolted? Poor mum had a bit of difficulty getting through the fence. And then we both had some trouble with the damp overgrown weeds. Took us a while but we found it. TFTC

Found this one a bit tricky. Nearly got stuck in the fence and then slid down the hill. TFTC

Ever seen a geokid land bottom first in a creek with your GPSr. I have now, pity the camera had no batteries!!! Will return one day with Spare, DRY clothes!!! Lucky the gpsr is waterproof, dried it off immediately!

Find # 43 without a GPS at 11.30am
Took the easy and safest way over the locked gate and down the "Dodgie" steps
Took nothing
Left a selection of 2007 AFL cards from (potato chips)
Thanks Junior Parrothead

Parked on the North side, crossed over bridge and then found an unlocked gate (having noted previous logs). After trudging a little way along the bank through tall grass, I thought, "forget this", climbed over the nearby fence, then walked the nice path to the locked gate. Jumped that gate and then a quick find down in the gully.
On the return the locked gate provided the perfect foot scrapper to remove the mud.
Down in the gully was so peaceful and tranquil.
Definately a daytime cache.
Left a mint stamp and took a patch.
TFTC Junior ParrotHead

Cheers

A quick vault over the locked gate and I was in
In to a different world from the suburbia surrounding this area
TFTC

Been here once before but decided not to scale the fence/gate. This time came from the other side and got to GZ quickly and slippery. TFTC

Jumped the locked gate (shh - don't tell anyone) and scrambled down the wet slopes. SNP came up with the goods soon after.

Thanks for the cache.

Headed out through the dodgy streets filled with burnout marks on the roads. Not many people around. I guess as it was late in the day they were probably out hocking stuff to Cash Converters from stuff they flogged from their neighbours earlier in the day. I wouldn't want to be on these streets at night.

Great spot in the middle of suburbia. Found after a short search. TNLN. Cheers from Featherwaite.

Found on Friday the 13th. Parked on the wrong side of the creek, so took some dodgy stairs to the bottom and walked along the creek for a bit to reach the cache. Dusk was falling, and I was keen to find, log and get back before it was too dark but as luck would have it, a family of muggles came casually walking down the creek as I was logging the find. Ugh. At least I had plenty of warning, so I climbed out of the creek with the cache and waited till they passed. Still enough light left to get back safely.

Took: snowman
Left: AFL card (highly collectable

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

Ninety-fifth of 128 finds on "The Big Adelaide Assault" in company with acts2youthgroup and HawMorFords. We initially didn't see the gate, so we went through the fence. HMF left some DNA behind on the barbed wire. We exited through the fence also. I'm really glad we did this one in daylight. As DISK said, the stairs are not in pristine condition, and you could come a cropper, if you were not careful. We found the cache at 1633. We grabbed the Guido TB, but otherwise, I made no exchange. Thanks to Junior ParrotHead for the cache. Cheers, dak.

L.L.T.R.A.

Ninety-five of one hundred and twenty-eight cache finds on the "The Big Adelaide Assault" the cache was found at 16:33 in company with dak's Emu Mob and HawMorFords. Pete came to grieve as we went over the fence instead of using the gate, he should have flown over after all red bull gives you wings.

Thanks SA_ParrotHead for the cache.

16:33 - Find #95 of 128 on our Big Day's Caching in the company of dak's Emu Mob and acts2youthgroup.

Agggghhhhh - More blood spilt for the cause! I snagged my leg on the fence on the way in and felt like a dill as there was actually a gate only a few metres away - hate that! There is even a photo of THAT Gate on the web page!

Oh well. We then shot down the hill and grabbed the cache and liberated the Guido TB.

Thanks to (Junior) SA_ParrotHead for the cache.

The gate was locked, but like everyone else, we jumped over.
Didn't take long to see why!
BE VERY CAREFULL IF WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS -
they have fallen apart, leaving 4 inch spikes sticking out and it is very slippery.
Once at the bottom, an easy find and well worth the effort.
Took tin tazo's.
Left Guido Travel Bug.

MODU and mrs MODU

found by the boy after short search. thanks took nothing and left footy card, thanks parrothead!

Found this one very close to home while roaming around.
Nice hide Junior Parrothead, Cheers and thanks Burton's
TNLN

This time I returned with a bike and without the dogs. Quick and easy find even though my brain was a bit dehydrated.
I didn't bring any good swaps for this one so I turned out to be a TNLN.
TFTC. Cheers from the Swede

A good find after a bit of hunting. Found it hard to get down before we found the stairs. I was the one that beat the others to it! T: Something cool. L: rear vision mirror.

Spent most of our time finding the right access. I think we came in from the east. The cache was located by an observant Poodle-Smoodle. Nicely hidden. Found with Poodle-Smoodle and Pryor. TFTC

Difficult to find but worth once we eventually did.

Found after coming from wrong side of creek! Then crossed to the right side, only to then slide over it!
A nice spot. Left patch as people collect them. TNSL
Cheers Junior Parrot

After approaching from wrong side, managed to find GZ without too much trouble. Nice cache, but unfortunately didn't have appropriate swap on me.Sorry.
TFTH - every cache is a challenge for me, and this was no exception.

found by scouts honour and TOM|MOT is.... hot

took puzzle dragon

left zebra.

**Note gate is now locked

TFTC

The dogs didn't like the fence and I didn't wanna leave the dogs too long so I gave up. In addition I was tired after the walkabout of today and knew that I had at least a one hour walk to get home. I'll be back without dogs and with I bike

Took a little while to locate this one, Seen some other cacher's leaving (little yellow ford 4x4) as we were arriving from the opposite side of the creek.

T: Nothing
L: Pokeball
SL TFTC

Found it this time. Nice hiding place.
Left 5 Tazos, took finger puppet.

After slipping and sliding down into the creekbed from the wrong side I had no luck finding the cache. I'll try again when it's not so wet.

Thanks, first of 4 we did out this side of town

JSKNICHOLSON

Found the way in, but also found the way in protected by chain and padlock.didnt want to jump the fence with the barb wire on the top.

May need to be checked

Found this cache after a good walk thru Cobblers Creek Rec Park, interesting to have the urban leg. Stay on sth side of creek. Very hot arvo but the geokids did so well. Left 2 x simpsons tazzos, took TB Bearly Movin for a big move and a 16mb CF card.

Found the right way in, but no cache. There was a large golden orb weaver right about where I thought it should be. Perhaps he swallowed it!

Had a bit of trouble finding the right way in. We ended up on the wrong side of the creek. I found a slope to go down, but went down quicker than I expected (on my backside). Took TB Wickwar Wanderer and left TB Bearly Moving.

Passing through dropped off one TB and picked up another
in- Wickwar Wanderer
out - Billy Goat

Slipped around a bit and tried from the wrong side originally. Dropped off TB Mr Bill E. Goat who likes Steep areas.

Nice spot, would be really good in winter.

Took Bratz doll
Left Snowman

Thanks for the cache

After initially trying to get at this from the wrong side of the creek we had some fun finding it.

No swaps as i had nothing for the theme but Diesel Dog TB visited and kept moving.

TFTC

Woohoo: Our first cache for us on our own, and without a GPS
(GPS is in the mail)
Stairs? What stairs. Well hidden left some Tazos and took a green bendy thing. Nearly got carried away with the mozzies. Took a photo with the card.
Thanks Junior_Parrot_Head
The Barramundi's - Barra 2

Nice location! Unfortunately we had no items to fit in the theme, so no trade took place here.

/Matli & Nikka from Sweden

Very cool cache, well hidden with all sorts of interesting goodies. Think the terrain stars should be increased, almost ended up in creek (proper shoes would have helped). Enjoyed, cheers!!

Enjoyed a Saturday afternoon loop walk (thanks to the two bridges close by). It's all very overgrown, but there are steps going down. Thanks Parrothead for showing us the Cobblers Creek area. We did another two caches close by afterwards.
took an astro pin for our cache pack and left a collectors doll.

Found it after a slip and slide
easy find when you are on your knees
lots of mozzies
Misty and Ruby ( dogs ) decided they would go for a swim
took keyring left a horse

team Crackle

No slipping or sliding for us today as we eagerly marched down the steps, geckolings aware of the theme of the cache! We took the pokemon bag, pokemon ring and treasure planet man. We left a Robots card game, yu-gi-oh collectable sticker and 2 collectable "z-cardz" thingies. Some muggles watched suspiciously as we headed off, but with 3 young geckolings it is not too suspicious. They were gone when we reappeared. Thanks junior parrothead! Well done and very good job on the log book BTW. GGG

After slippin' n' slidin' I found it.. Took the little red racing car and left the Super Roo..
Mark_oo

enjoyed the walk and find on this one .Took junior geocacher to find this .

Easy to locate but not so easy to get thanks to the rain. Thing were a bit slippy. TN but left a Yowie of course.
Thanks.

Once we found the gate and steps, it was an easy find.
Mozies out, so didn't stay long.
Took kinder surprise toy, left 2 x dragonbalz tazos.

This is my first geocache, I'm so pleased I found it.

My dog & I loved the 2km walk from home.

I took nothing, left an 'Old No 7' keyring.

Manx & Manx (the dog)

Aquick easy find. I took the hints and checked the street directory before setting out.
Took a toy soldier and left a red car.
Also grabbed TB Take me to your leader. Looks like a relative of my TB Mr. Iiix.
thanks guys.

This one is easy when you're on the right side of the creek . TN but left a soldier figurine and Take Me To Your Leader Travel bug. Cheers

Found at 11:00am a short walking distance from where I expected. coordinates spot on for my GPS
TNLNSL

Found @ 13.00 our intial approach to this cache had us on the wrong side of a very steep bank (small cliff would be a better description!). After a short consultation with the street directory we found a better & much closer approach. By the this stage the kids where driving us insane almost left mine here. Took Hot wheels car Left Shrek stamp.

After an abortive attempt on the cache that left us on the wrong side of the 'tracks' we piled backin the car and made another assault - yes after looking at the street directory.

I chose not to venture down the 'cliff face' but stood wisely at the top and asked for the cache to be brought up to me. Dutifully, the cache arrived. Ooh, the power!

We made no swaps and sent the cache back to the depths from whence it came.

Got to use the traction in the new Hiking shoes for something going down the hill the direct way. I found the steps to get back out. Collected TB.

Who would expect such a sucluded spot right next to suburbia? Easily found once I worked out the roads to get nearby.
Took two mondo men, left a hotwheels car and a harry potter collectors pin. Nice one Junior Parrothead. Also dropped the 'H.S.TAZ' TB in here. Cheers.

Whoops, interupted while writing log & forgot to leave TB!

There are so many relaxing place around adelaide im getting to love it here more and more. TNLN SL

Our third find for the day. Took a couple of minutes to reach GZ but once there we found it quickly.

Had nothing suitable to swap so we just signed the log.

Great cache Junior Parrothead.

Dropped of the TB Talking Taco dog for SA ParrotHead to take out tonight.

Quite an easy cache to find, nice walk through the riverbed. Track quite noticeable now, fair amount of trampled vegetation.

Took Magnetic Beer cup, left Lion.

Thanks

Thanks for this one. Had notrouble finding it and the rug rats that came with me had fun going down the steps. Took gem stone and left a Mondo doll for you. Thanks

Found this cache when I was still a member of Beakers Bunch.
Thankyou

Found 261204 @ 1350.

A nice and easy find even though I was dragging along my 3 year old nephew. Nice warm day with a gentle breeze.

Thanks Parrotheads

First gate we came upon was locked so we kept going till we found the right one. Carefully took the steps to the bottom and found the cache no problem. Thanks an interesting area. Took keyring and left collectable stone.

found with DARKKNIGHT

took me a while ot find the steps that everyone was on about . but afte that DK found it no problems.

Its amazing what downloaded files to a PDA can do when u r in location.

Flying visit before work in the nearly-one-year-rush. Took a while to find as there are many places to look. Nice example of a box gulley in the middle of suburbia. TNLN

Dropping TB Arty

Once I worked out where the gate was this wasn't too hard to spot. Been a long time since that stairway saw regular use I suspect. Took an English 2 pence coin, and left an Intencity Balloon. Thanks Junior Parrothead.

Picke up the TB while passing through.

Can the next finder let me know the numbers on the bug so I can log him!

Thanks!

Had a quick look for this on the way home from Murray Bridge.

Plenty of hidey holes here - was actually a bit harder than I expected.

TNLN - Unprepared.

But, I did drop off an Aardvark TB.

Thanks Jr Parrothead - a great start!

Logging some of the backlog, (17/02/07!) Found on a late night visit whilst in the area with TGC Cheers.

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
Going through some photos and found some of us doing this cache. Guess it's about due to be logged now.
Thanks SA ParrotHead.

We were delighted with how close we could park to this one. MintSlice got a laugh watching TimTam, MilkyWay, Smarties and Freckle scrambling around to find the cache. We had nothing appropriate to swap so we took nothing and left nothing. Thanks guys we had fun.

This was a surprise location meandering through suburbia. Nice, cool spot to place a cache. Swapped a brass Swiss man for the Pokemon bag.

Thanks junior Parrothead.

Great cache hide.
Well done little sister.
