We were on the hunt when another figure walked in the gate. Hello BB, what are you doing here? And 5 mins later we were joined by PG06. After a quick find and a quick catch up we set off our separate ways. Good to see you again guys.

An interesting place in the heart of Salisbury. A good one to bring up our 900th cache! Thanks BB

Easy find after I had out waited an old man who was staring at cache location.

9:57 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.

Found it, but not comfortable with the hide!

Fairly quiet after the shops had shut for the day. A quick find.
 
23-Nov-07
Quick easy find while waiting for the ungeohubby to finish work. Not too many muggles about but boys feigned a deep interest in the gravestones while I did the deed. TNLN. TFTC
 
30-Oct-07
visited as I was going past. Relatively few people around- which suited me fine. TNLNSL. TFTC

It's always in the last one of those you look in isn't it ?
SL TFTC BB and thanks girls for not giving it away...Smile
 
17-Aug-07
Interesting place - I wonder if the reposed would like to spend eternity in the middle of a busy shopping complex??? Even so, no-one took any notice of the cache retriever. Cheers from Featherwaite.
 
11-Aug-07
Everyone going about their own business here - hardly got a look. [^]
GPS wouldn't stay still, so took awhile to find the right place.
Easy to conceal our activity once found.

Thanks Beaker's Bunch.

Found easily once the muggles left. SL TFTC
 
25-May-07
Saw right away where it had to be. Had to 'wander' the cemetery looking at headstones to wait for the traffic to calm down enough to get to cache. In the end, I noticed that most of the walkers never even give this place a second look. Too bad, they probably don't know what they are missing. TFTC

went round and round for a while. nice hide. suprised you didnt call it SECS in the cemetary Wink TFTC TNLNSL
 
This one took a little longer than it should have but got it in the end. TFTC
 
31-Mar-07
Not quite what I expected; in fact I got a nice little surprise. GPSr was a bit over the place, but that didn't matter because I got a chance to wander around and look at the surrounds. I've been near here before, but never noticed this.

Thanks for bringing me here.

Ninety-second of 128 finds on "The Big Adelaide Assault" in company with acts2youthgroup and HawMorFords. Hmmmmm! This was an easy find, despite the muggle lurking nearby. We found this one at 1544. I made no exchange. Thanks to Beaker's Bunch for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Ninety-two of one hundred and twenty-eight cache finds on the "The Big Adelaide Assault" the cache was found at 15:44 in company with dak's Emu Mob and HawMorFords. This seemed an interesting place to build a shopping complex. The cache was a nice easy find.

Thanks Beaker’s Bunch for the cache.
 
28-Feb-07
15:44 - Find #92 of 128 on our Big Day's Caching in the company of dak's Emu Mob and acts2youthgroup.

This one sure surprised me as it is a very strange place for a shopping centreCool We actually decoded the hint as we looked for an entry point into GZ.

The hint provided an easy but very odd find.... Certainly the first time I have found one like this!

Thanks to Beaker's Bunch for the cache.
 
19-Feb-07
Been past this one a few times during the day, but always too many watching eyes to make a grab for it. Dropped in nice and late today for a straightforward find (in the second place I looked Smile.

Decided to pop in and pay a visit after a visit to relatives. Thought it'd be nice and quite at 20:45, forgot it was late night shopping Smile It's our second cemetery cache is as many days, after logging our nemesis 'The Pioneers' yesterday.

SL, TFTC

Found it pretty quick! It was my Uncle Neil's first cache and he has been bitten by the bug!

Thanks
 
11-Jan-07
Found at 1615. Quick find in an historic cemetary. Right in the middle (dead centre [:o)]) of modern civilisation.
 
02-Jan-07
A lovely warm night perfect to be out caching and no muggles around, picked this one up at 9:30pm so it was nice and dark. TNLNSL MODU.
 
28-Dec-06
Found with cached on quick tour.
 
22-Nov-06
Found at 7:00 PM. There were a few muggles around but none caused any real problem. Having attended the old Methodist church on a couple of a occasions circa 1950, it was good to sit in the cemetry and reminisce for a few moments.
A good hide with a realistic hint.
Tanx Beaker's Bunch.

Great cache in a strange location. Easy find given the clues. Left a few material flowers as I thought it was appropriate.
 
03-Oct-06
Very clever hide. Very fun to find.
 
03-Oct-06
Quick find in an amazing spot! We left some material flowers in the cache! We had a James and a Thomas with us and my IPAQ is nicknamed George! (freaky?)

Found with Poodle-Smoodle and Pryor. TFTC

A nice quick cache, but I was very quiet so as not to wake the sleeping neighbours.

02-Oct-06
Quiet here on a public holiday.
 
13-Sep-06
WooHoo! Another grab! Picked this one up while in the area, around 8:00pm. Relatively few muggles about, apart from a girl waiting for a bus, but she paid me no heed. Amazing what you can get away with if you have the right camoCool

SL
TFTC- Nice to get this one under the belt.
 
08-Sep-06
Had a shocker of a day, so decided to cheer myself up with another cache. Reached location around 10:30pm, muggle-free zone, but a bit cold (10 degrees C).
Despite an hour of searching in the dark by torchlight, came up empty handed. Twisted (My GPSr had me going from one corner to the other.) Decided to call it a night and head home.
Will try this one another time, perhaps on a weekend near dusk.
 
20-Aug-06
Always thought of checking out this place, but never got around to it - thanks!
 
18-Jun-06
Found at 00:40, very very quite not another soul in sight... This is 3rd and last cache after our wanderings tonight. Had a spare film canister with us so replaced it and added a tiny silica gel sachet to keep the moisture down. Thanks Beaker's Bunch. Cheers 'scargoes (P&F only)
 
16-Jun-06
Found with cached, The film canister lid is missing did not have one to replace it.

Cheers from the Burton's

Visited again with Burtons.
 
09-Jun-06
My first cache in SA. I was in town for the day on business. Sometimes it's helpful to be well dressed because you draw less attention to yourself at times like this. I took a photo of a tombstone that had my 24 y.o. niece's name on it. Think I'll send it to her and freak her out. The lid of the container appears to be missing but things aren't too damp inside. TFTC.
 
22-Apr-06
A short walk from Pitman park. Seems a bizzare place to find a cemetary, but I guess it was there long before all the comercial development. Had to look like we were visiting ancestors while muggles watched on from the car park. Had to resort to the hint before we could find this elusive little container. Good to see this place remain here despite the progress around it. Thanks Beaker's Bunch.
 
24-Mar-06
This had the hallmarks of a similar cache in Mount Gambier - but I was wrong. Eventually found the cache as we picked a time just after dark, which saw a significant reduction in muggles.

Just to think that late last year I was only metres away from this cache when I was attending a meeting at the building closest to this cache!

Great one Beaker, as up to your usual standardSmile
 
13-Feb-06
Probably not the best time to try this one. After I had retrieved the cache a women came and sat on bench just on other side of fence and kept looking at me. Must have thought I was up to no good. So retreated to a bench in middle of graveyard and played with my PDA until she went away. No one else near by so quickly replaced in hidey- hole.

Thanks B B
 
30-Jan-06
Did the tricky slicky thing whilst dodging the public. Found in short order and signed the log. TNLN of course SL.

Cheers Beakers.

Went looking on my way to work. Lots of muggles around. Had to open gate, it squeked loudly. Hoever i just nosied around the seats and all. But no joy, will head back under the cover of darkness..
 
09-Jan-06
Found cache quite easily but we had to do a few tricks to retreive it!
Thanks
 
27-Dec-05
Having spent a delightful couple of hours with Beaker's Bunch, they suggested this cache for us to find at the end of the day. Found it after a short (well as short as a piece of string Wink) search. Nice to have the owners within earshot for helpful hints ... I get three right ... phone a friend, 50/50 and ask the audience [?] Sincere thanks BB Big Grin

Left GPSr Surprised ... (40 mins later) Took GPSr Red Face
 
01-Dec-05
Woohoo This is our first cache for the Barramundi's Big Grin
Took flowers as suggested, 8.45 PM Dark and raining, but managed to find it. Our thanks to SA_Parrothead for introducing us to this new world of fun.
Cheers and Beers from the Barramundi's
 
29-Nov-05
After years of driving nearby decided to find this one.Initially forgot the pencil so returned with pencil and folder in hand, looking the part as Ihecked out the headstones.
Another point of interest is a time capsule about 15m to the west that one of the families has put there. Looks like they have planned for it to be there for 50 years. Pretty good idea.
 
25-Sep-05
On way home from Barossa Caching, quick find (had to be quick to avoid muggles!) In the rain still.....

Wow, what an amazing place! Talk about right in the middle of suburbia, it's great to see that it remains (relatively) untouched, considering what has been built around it. We arrived at this one completely un-prepared at 6:30pm tonight, so we unable to place any flowers. But we will return when it is lighter. A quick look at the clue on the PDA pointed us in the right direction. Signed Log.
Thanks for bringing us here ... it was truely amazing.
 
24-Jun-05
I located this one a few days ago but due to the car park and shopping crowd decided another day would have to suffice. But a bit of ingenuity you can get to it without arousing supicion even on a busy Friday morning. Took heed of the hint and took in a buch of flowers, easy.
A very interesting spot and worth taking the time to look at the history of old Salisbury.
Thanks, a great little cache.
 
20-Jun-05
Found by Mary & David at 0915. Deja vu. We've been here before collecting cache waypoint data. Glad to see they've kept the area intact and not just made a wall of the headstones. A few people about on this damp morning, but they weren't interested in us at all. We must have looked as though we belonged! Plenty of birds about. Our thanks to Beaker's Bunch.
 
05-Jun-05
Found quite easily. Few Muggles about as the shops had just opened. Took #1 son for decoy.

 
29-May-05
We never knew this was here and it is lovely. A Sunday afternoon, a few muggles about - but with a 3yrold, just looks like a family outing. Inventive micro, thanks. SL.
 
15-May-05
Early on Sunday morning and barely a soul around (hang on... actually several, but they weren't watching). Last time we were here we were surrounded by nearly 2000 other cyclists! Retrieved the cache quickly to sign the log. Amazing to have this bit of history here, completely surrounded by shops.
 
08-May-05
Found this one a couple of days ago, but couldn’t retrieve it because of the Muggle factor. Early morning on Mother’s Day solved that problem. Forgot to bring a flower with me though (on today, of all days Red Face ) Signed the log then slipped the little bugger back. Thanks BB
 
06-May-05
We came here Thursday 28th at about 6.30pm using a borrowed gps to try and find our first cache. Stood right in front of the location looking around and at the gps but did not find it,then decided to go and come back another time. Tonight we came back at 8.10 pm and found it straight away.Our third find should have been our first.
 
28-Apr-05
As we drove up to this cache we all started chuckling, this was going to fun. As it turned out it seemed rather easy, I think there where too many peopple around to even notice 6 people hanging around this particular spot. TNLNSL.

A nice easy find, it was busy but we like being sneaky! The birds were in full song this late afternoon.
Being Southerners, we didn't know this place existed, thanks for bringing us here Beaker's Bunch.
 
28-Apr-05
Thanks to the guy walking past on stilts for the diversion.

Signed log quickly and went to get lunch.
 
26-Apr-05
Wondered around for a few mins, before the GPSr settled down and took me straight there. Got a few strange looks from passing muggles in the meantime though.

Marvellouse what you can find when you look.
Thank You guys for an interesting tour

21-Apr-05
We found a resting place nearby on the seat and did our log. Thanks Beakers Bunch.
 
09-Apr-05
Quick pick-up on my way north for the day. Plenty of muggles around but no-one payed any attention to someone writting details down from a gravestone! Cheers.
 
05-Apr-05
even though this place is so open I think the drug deal going down nearby was of more interest to those people. I wondered though if I was suspicious. I've watched too much of The Bill!
TNLNSL Couldn't do anything but.
 
03-Apr-05
Wandered around for ages taking in the gravestones looking for something that would match the clue. In the end the location closest to GZ was correct. The newt would be very impressed.

Nice one guys. Managed to leave a frog.
 
01-Apr-05

What is the position after Bronze? Thats the one I got.

My sat lock was all over the place - for some reason I think that used to happen when this was part of Dead Wheel as well.

TNLN (its a micro - you're not supposed to)

Thanks BB - I liked this one - tasteful Smile
 
31-Mar-05
Once again the bronze.
Ms Parrothead went out at 9:30 am but was unable to locate it. (she actually got very close without realising it.)
Jnr ParrotHead and myself went out after work.
We found it after circling cemetary and checking all the stones. There is some interesting stones here.
We have logged a reverse cache using this location. Our entry is on cache list "Somewhere In Time" (GC769F)
Cheers.

Found this one this morning while working in the area.
There was a school band setting up and everyones eyes were on them, quickly signed the log and back to work.

Thanks BB

A quick pick up after work – real quick as the cache was still quite warm. It must have reached well over 50 degreeees here as it hit 38 at GZ today (in the shade). The only shade here was from the headstones, and the near-by shopping centre. A good spot to be would have been in the shade, buying ice-cream – as were most of the muggles. They were more concerned with not letting their ice creams drip, than the activities at the real GZ.
Thanx Beakers.. Clear skies, TeamAstro.

(Oh, I placed a small yellow flower – can the next cacher find it??)[^]
