Picnic Day Mark II Torrens Park, South Australia, Australia
By Team BaggyGreens on 17-Sep-05. Waypoint GCQAVW

Good little hide. Took Splash Ball, left Wristband.
Thanks, The ScatCats.

No reply to my note and the bits are buried...

also found without checking logs.

burried it a tad to try and keep as much as possible for a replacement cache.

logging finds under our new name - previously blue frogs

Hadn't read the updated log entries so didn't realise it had been muggled. found the container though so will coount it towards my total. Love this park so will come back if cache replaced

Oh dear...

Tried this one last Sunday, thinking the rain/drizzle would reduce the numbers in the park. Wrong, everyman and his dog was sheltering from the wheater at GZ!

Found the cache today, it looks like muggles have also visited. In need of urgent maintenance, the cache is missing a lid and log book. No TB's in sight.

I'm logging this as a find for the records.

Thanks Baggy Greens. Found fairly easily. At 11pm there is definately not a soul in sight. Having a nice little stay in Adelaide.

Just dropping some TBs off the first Cheer cheer the red & the white on its way to various aussie rules grounds around Australia & the second Johanna’s Toys Travel Bug to commemorate our daughter's 1st birthday.

Not a soul in sight at 4pm , Wednesday. I wonder if the 37º had something to do with it?. An easy find, re-hid cache a bit better.

Not many people here so early on such a hot day. Cache was quite obvious from a long way off so I tried to hide it better, hope it will be OK. took kangaross and koala for overseas trip (tomorrow ) left 2 x bears and a keyring. TFTC

Finally can log a find for this one. Surprisingly quite today when driving past so grabbed it, although it was hard to retrieve as it was jammed tight. T dinosaur L aluminium clip. TFTC

Didnt even attempt a recovery today as there were muggles everywhere, can't believe how busy this place was

Will have to log a DNF today for this one. We believed we were looking in the right place but there was too many muggles around for us to really comb the area thoroughly. Have to return at night I think.

Found GZ, but took quite a while to find the cache. Need to feel around a bit, but luckily Bruce did that part! TNLN.

The is the picnic ground used when we have the annual Woomera reunion. TNLN. Thanks Team BaggyGreens

All the other finders in the first location have taken the opportunity to collect the cache again. My turn.

Nice spot - too many muggles today though, so I stayed in the car like a stalker whilst the brat boys played around to nab the cache - some very strange muggles parked next to me so I was glad when they returned from playing hide and seek.

Found after dark with Eden Hills Scouts.
Took train and left 2 velvet animals, a kangaroo and a pink pig. Thanks.

Just like Skippy - a second coming! TNLNTFTC

clear skies, TeamAstro

Another second same cache find for today.
Took Tin can and Left Kangaroo
Thanks Team Baggies

Found at 1450hrs on a day off. A few muggles about but not close enough to be a problem. Nice day, I used to go to this park a lot as a child. Took Marcus on the move TB LNSL.

Managed to retrieve the cache safely even with a few muggles around late in the afternoon.
Left TB: Marcus On The Move.

Found this after a day learning about first aid.
TNLNSL.
TFTC.

First cache of the day
Found at 8:30 am
No one around at this time of the morning

Muggles don't like rain. I had the park to myself (almost)so I could search, log and replace without interruption. T plastic dinosaur (because that is what geocaching is really about). Left fridge magnet and Georgia geocoin TB to travel to Georgia.

Was here last week only to find loads of picnic goers.
Came back approx. 9pm. Knew where it was the first time, just couldn't get access. TNLNSL Thanks

Assisted by Da Frizz (aka Frizzdigidy), first cache find, had to be covert, old muggle interested in activities. Good hiding spot.

Found after having a shot the day before but too many muggles, so today was a perfect day to go again. Italian Stallion was excited by this new hunt....another convert to Da cache. Took All Black #10, left air freshner.

12:16 pm - Had to wait for the only muggles close by to move away. We've had picnics here too. New playgrounds being placed here today.

Cheers from The Barramundi's

A very nice park. There was a young couple having a barbque nearby but stealth mode allowed us to grab the cache without being noticed.

We left a lizard and took Marge with us.

Thanks to the BaggyGreens

EDIT - Wrong Date

Muggles of all sizes around. Good timing was crucial.
tn, left a boy in undies [:o)]

Unable to grab it the other day despite it being in plain sight; too many muggles.

No one around today

TNLNSL

Easy one before having a drink at the ED....

T Puffy Sticker
L Marj Simpson

Easy find today - place was deserted.

Found: TMUK'S Iowa GeoCoin which was unexpected.

.

At 15.15h there were only a few kids playing, two dogs being walked and ducks galore. Took - Nothing. Left - Koala bear & TMUK's Iowa Geocoin. TFTC NB take bread for the ducks!

Great day to feed the ducks and play on the equipment, well thats what all the muggles thought anyway. Managed to find and grab cache while they all were looking the other way.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Called in on the way home. We had the park to ourselves. Left some puffy stickers, took nothing. Thanks

Our second shot at this one. Located GZ a couple of weeks ago, but was unable to get anywhere near it due to the high muggle factor. Today was easier even though there was a young mother and her 2 kids using the equipment nearby. A small spill off the slippery dip grabbed her attention long enough for me to grab this one. TNLNSL. Thanks TBG.

Easy find in a great location. Memories of this park at age 6 when we lived in Belair. TN Left a NZ AB Rugby player TFTC!

Found by Mary & David at 0915. A drizzly morning so only a few council workers out laying footpaths through the park. Quite a few potential hiding places. Found it on the second pass of the real one. TNLN. Our thanks to Team BaggyGreens.

Nice easy find on a chilly rainy day so not much worry about muggles. Took donkey, left blue car. Thanks.

An easy find at 17:10, had the park almost to ourselves, so took our time searching the many hidey holes. Spent some time on the bridge just enjoying the sound and sight of the creek and ducks below us. Took nothing but left a donkey. On the way home remembered that we were meant to drop off TBG's geoCoin, but it'll have to wait till the weekend now. Thanks BaggyGreens, a great place to visit.

Found at 10:00 as the first picnickers set up nearby. No swap.

Second visit to this location with a quick find before the muggles poured into the park. TNLN

Nonchalently retrieved cache while pretending to examine the associated "structure". Dropped off The Hong Kong Taxi TB. Cheers!

Found 15:05. Muggles everywhere today, the use of the youngest Geokid as a distraction worked really well. Found easily. TNLNSL. Cheers.

Found on way to work, must admit, was 2nd time here! Still took about 10 mins to find, as it was well hidden. No muggles around this time, @ 0645!
Used to come to this park quite regularly when a kid.
Left a patch, took the 'eye c u' TB to go to Riverland at Easter.
Thanks

Oops forgot to log this one from a long while back... drove past it yesterday (10 oct) and realised I never logged it. sorry

Found by JackHenry 29/3/06 @ 12:20
There was a muggle sitting in a chair about 5 metres away reading, but by lining him up behind the cache, we were able to walk up to it without him seeing us. I felt like jumping out and yelling 'Boo' Took TB 'Jumbo' and Left TB Eye C U Signed Log

Found about 7:45pm, just on twilight, with a picnic nearby, some kids kicking around on the play equipment, etc. Still, that was a whole lot easier than the first time we arrived (about 2pm) - at that stage there was a wedding ceremony in full swing less than 10m from GZ1. The instructions do say that stealth is required, but I think that might have been pushing it!!!

TNLNSL.

Sorry about the delay, I suffered a computer software breakdown and it's taken over a week to rebuild the computer and get back online...And no not all the coins & the jeep that I intially planned to put in this cache ended up fitting, but then if some common courtesy had been shown it wouldn't have been an issue.

For all those watching this cache it is back in operation!
This cache originally came on line when I was OS & by the time I returned it was inactive. So have been watching it for quite a while and the lure of a white jeep was too strong, so this morning on my way home from work at 1.15am I stopped in to check it out.
Alas the jeep was not in residence but the cache was and it appears this is the perfect time to visit if you dont mind dodging the automatic sprinkler system!
Grabbed a couple of spiffy looking geocoins and left a dinosaur & a couple golf tees. Then it was off home for some sleep.
Cheers TBG, a very pretty spot.

Found this on the night TBG put it back out. Dropped off Jumbo TB.

OK its sort of a pseudo-find.
We (EmZee and I) were in the presence of Baggy when he put this back. I was the one who alerted him to its demise orignially and so I knew I was in the right place. So to validate EmZee's find we put the coords into the GPS and made him show us where he thought the cache would be - he was spot on.
The reason the jeep is not present is because the original replacement container was too big for the hidey-hole and so a second was used. This was too small for the jeep.
Baggy is having technical difficulties with his computer at the moment and so this cache has not been updated with the correct travellers etc.
TNLN

It's coming back on Sunday 12th March...

Not fixed yet?

All these DNF's will end within a week hopefully as Zytheran goes paperless. Hmmm, latest download didn't show it off line OR old waypoint wasn't updated. Oh, to have the last few logs in a handy gizmo.

Found with a friend. The kids certainly were attracted to the water. But the non-caching folk were distracted by a bride. Took lots of photos. TNLNSL. Great park.

A couple of muggles nearby but too busy with their grandchildren to notice. Mrs Klem could not go further but luckily Klem's reach was longer. Had a picnic here on Mothers' Day years ago and Ian Chappel was here playing cricket on the grass with his family. Left gear bag and Klem Bear and took sticky notes. Thanks Team BaggyGreens.

Found this one quite easily ... reaching it was another matter! A great day for caching today ... constant rain ... the few muggles that are out couldn't care less about what I was up to! Retreated to the Gazebo to sign the log. A great park that I've never actually stopped at, but have driven past many times. Very interesting information on the bridge, too!
Thanks!

Luckily the early hour and the rain ensured this park was pretty muggle free. Have to agree about the reaching part, had to get Wibble 2 to extract the cache, which he did - just - while commenting "If I get violated by a possum while I do this I won't be happy". TNLNSL before the rain got everything wet.

Best to look for it when the moon is out, place crawls with muggles at lunchtime. Found after my eyes adjusted, lucky I had long sleeves on. The bees are taking care of the flowers. Took a possum type keyring, left a Cgristmas ink stamp, sighned log.

Couldnt resist the urge to grab this one on my way to work, since i missed out on getting the mk1 cache.

Easy find, in drizzling rain. Luckily the nearby tree's gave me shelter so i could sign the log, whilst keeping dry.

TNLNSL

Went and grabbed this (again) this afternoon. I guess as it has moved about 5km it counts as a new one! TNLNSL, nice park after work with the ducks and very few muggles around. Cheers.

Unlike Messrs Posspet, I had difficulty in venturing further. Luckily, fatcat had gone to bed. Left a cosmic garter, took keyring. Even though it was close to full moon, there were clouds which added one astro I'd say.
clear skies, Astro.

Hey is this a different cache or the same cache in a different location many many miles away from Mk1. [?]

Were the flowers for me? They distracted me for a few minutes as I thought that it would not be there. Found easily enough though when I knew that I had to venture further.

First cache of spring.

Checked this one with trepidation. Wheeww!!

165m from one the permanent grail caches I am setting for the event. We are saved.

My morning ride usually takes me on the other side of the river.

found after lunchtime. easy find,only one muggle nearby taking photos.
Took paperweight and left Kangaroo

Thanks Baggies

First to Find.
That would be me SA_Parrothead.
Had an early morning start just me and an occassional council worker.
Went round and round in circles before I found it.
I think I was having my own Teddy bear picnic.
Knew it had to be there somewhere and it was.
Swapped a packet of glow sticks for a log book.
I dont remember a ship but I remember the big Elephant.

Thanks for Log Book ...And I'd forgotten about the monkey bars elephant...

With no jobs to go to we did this one today too but made note that we would be revisiting the area in a few weeks. Nice location and easy find. Left post it notes. Thanks Team BaggyGreens.

Close enough to work for a lunchtime caching run. Quick find with only the occasional jogger to wait for. First to log but 3rd to find.

Took lamb, left Garfield. Thanks Team Baggy Greens!
