BH: Holly Cottage Hackham, South Australia, Australia
By setsujoku on 06-Nov-05. Waypoint GCR7R6

In that case, it's probably time to retire this one, as I no longer live down south, and only get down there once a month.

It's had a good run, and thanks to everyone that has found this cache.

I had a good look around, using gardening gloves provided by my caching partner Mundoo, and couldn't find the cache. As Mundoo has already found it she confirmed I was looking in the correct spot and doesn't think it is still there.

Thank you for the hide.

Spent ages looking for this one, but gave up after numerous pricks and scratches .
We know it's in there somewhere, but couldn't see it today . Looks like rabbits or possums have been playing around, making it even more difficult.
Holly Cottage is fenced off for renovations.
Thanks for bring us here Setsujoku.

Ouch. I didn't find it but did end up with quite a number of punctures in my hands. I was trying by night. Sometimes torchlight helps to find caches hidden deep in foliage, but this time it didn't help. Thanks for the cache, and the history lesson.

well got spiked. nice spot kids loved it.
TFTC

Lots of traffic but found ok... Was careful not to prick myself ... TFTC

Found on second visit and just about gave up again.
Spotted and logged. New log book required. TFTC

Found on an Adelaide Cup run. After several stabs, I was about to give up when I spotted the lid of the container. Thankfully, my eyes are sharper than GZ.

Found with sgtmoo and ouch!!! Got sgt moo to get it hAha

New logbook needed

#51 today and luck is on our side. Found with no trouble had gloves we used to find now and zen TFTCSL

Thanks setsujoku for the cache..

Oh boy, did I get spiked. In the arm, the hand, the head and the butt. I spent about 10 mins searching and getting spiked for this one, finally located it.
Good hide - TFTC

Cache is quite full. In our opinion it needs to be moved as the shrubbery is being trampled TN left card TFTC.

I had better luck with the muggles today. Almost did not find it, but the hint help a lot, thanks. TFTC.

Finally some normality - it is Anzac Day and it is raining. It has been years since it last happened. Went for a drive south to pick up a few caches in the afternoon.

Quick find with no muggles. TFTC.

Day 315 of non-stop caching

Nice easy find, but there were a few muggles around.

Thankz Apollo2

Too many muggles around here today, looks hard.

Nice and easy
We are going to Victor Harbour for the day.
Look forward to hunt for the day
TFTC

Noticed this just across the road when out to get petrol, so had a quick go. Was in a rush, so only had a couple of minutes to look, and wasn't successful. Might get a chance to have another try before I head back to the UK.

A great little spot that yet again I didn't know about but thanks to caching I do now ! It was pitch black at GZ and I am still amazed that I had it in my hand in under a minute !
Thanks for the History TNLNSL My last cache of the day
wish I'd had time to find more Cheers from postiegirl06

Had to wait for cleaners nearby to depart, then a quick, prickle-free find. How do you find this cache? veeerrry carefully. Left koala, took nothing. TFTC

A lovely old cottage ay GZ. Cache was a quick find with no prickles but as I was about to replace same a muggle smoker came and stood only metres from GZ. I walked off and came back a couple of minutes later to find him gone, but only to reappear seconds later. This time it was very brief and I was then able to replace. Thanks setsujoku for the placement.

Was here late at night and could not find it! Not sure if it was just because it was dark or not. My GPS seemed to lead me away from the prickly spot, so I couldn't even use that as a guide as I wasn't sure if I should trust it or not. Got pricked many times but it was all for nothing

OUCH! Found cache OK but got prickled and stabbed several times in doing so. TFTC.
B and SK

Great Park, my recollection of this place was a tired dry crappy place needing some serious attention.Council have done themselves proud here. Cottage all finished now,looks fantastic. Easy find TFTC nice to come back.

I FOUND IT. Not you, Mundoo.

And I bled. Lots. (OK, maybe just a little bit but in lots of places.)

No Pain, No Gain.

Found on our way going home after being at the Pub Lunch Event in Adelaide.

Found with Laksam. She went into the fray first and even after the warning managed to be stabbed and drew blood. I went in next and avoided the problems.

8th of 8 we found today.

Took sig items, left smiley rubber.

TFTC Team setsujoku

Now quite easy to get to as the shrubs protecting the site have been damaged and are dead in some places. Good hiding place though.

Took one look and mumbled all sorts of expletives to describe setsujoku but ended up a quick find. Trust your gps. The coords are excellent. tftc

I even tried the 'Clean Up Australia' ploy to disguise my extended search. I got half a garbage bag of rubbsh (there's still more) but no cache. Nice cottage, horrible prickles. This one ended my record of 41 consecutive finds without a miss. I'm sure that's a record for me.

Tried to find half hour can't find it must be muggles take it and there too many prickles area It really too dangerous for kids to find cache in the future!

Last one of the day, great place, pricked myself despite warnings
TNLN TFTC

Tried this one earlier but the prickles got the better of me. Didn't log as a DNF but it really was. Got it this time round and guess what no puncture marks on the body at all.

Wow there is nothing like these old cottages in Queensland where THENANKS are from!

IN : Stretchy rabbit and a party blower
OUT: a little torch

Now off to Vuctor Harbor!

What do you know we caught back up with our mates TheNanks here. We are holidaying together - but today had set off separately for Victor Harbor and we came around the corner and there they were!!! Found them again! Caching of course!!! No swapping done - though MrMad was muttering about being spiked by the prickly plants!! Thanks for another piece of history.

yes it hurts! but we found it!

Three of us enjoyed drive the car for the day. Thanks for organising the cache and hunt.

Interesting history, and a quick find. What more can you ask for?
Thanks, Robmc.

Another quick find with a bit of history attached. No shortage of BBQ's here. The local butchers must be doing well. Anyway thanks for bringing us here.

Happy New Year. Left TB "Erode India" that we picked up in Victoria.

Ooh

First find for the day. Had actually decided to cache further down south but when we stopped for petrol and we were so close it seemed silly not to pick it up.

Thanks setsujoku

Quick find. Thanks setsujoku

Quickly grabbed on my way to Aldinga this morning

found by team 2-mo
@ 1910hrs,,,,,, easy find

A much appreciated stop on a hot day, as this cache placement provided good shade.
A pity the building has been fenced off. Easy cache find, prepared with glove, thanks for the warning.

Found easily enough but still have a few stab marks - TFTC

Gardening gloves would be a help . grabbed TB " Rodeo Rider"

A prickly spot though I was able to quickly grab the cache from its lair. Thanks setsujoku

We couldn't find cache! We found plenty of prickles (even with warnings) found empty hole where looks like it might have been, will try again another day!

Find 82 without a GPS at 1.30pm
Had plenty of warning about the prickles had the gloves on so left no fingerprints

I had to come down to Adelaide at short notice for a few days (first time in nearly 20 years) so took the opportunity to revisit somewhere I had not been since a kid.

Not where I expected as the sky birds were giving me a bit of gip....

TFTC SL TNLN

After hunting round a bit, the cache was found, a little exposed. Tried to conceal better, but not a lot of options in that area, so covered with some leaves.

TNLN - Thanks setsujoku!

Pretty location, easy find, plenty of traffic and had to be careful. Notice that rats, to rodent type are active and living in the same location.
Took Kaleidascope and left Torch.

Floss and I got out of the car to search for this one and it was quickly found by Floss, TN L:Minnie head TFTC and the history.

Heritage design toilets too! Signed log while onewiseowl made use of aforementioned facilities. TNLN TFTC

Found this cache on my trip with Cooroy Scouts to SA for our final RDMH requirements.

TFTH - Nice park and amenities, thanks for bringing me here.

Nice place for a picnic, easy find for my youngest son took badge and ring left bubble mix and dinosaur.

Yay! Finally found this- on our third attempt. The area looked as thought it had just been mown so perhaps it made it a bit easier?
Enjoyed the park after the hunt- great place to spend an afternoon- geoson didn't want to leave even though it was way passed tea time.
There seemed to be something for everyone in this cache- so we made some major swaps.
Thanks Setsujoku for an informative cache.
It's nice to learn about the area's history.

Grabbed the NAB to move it on it's way.

OUT: NAB Geocoin, mini tape measure, smiley magnet (for our collection!),small clear plastic donkey cup sitter thingy.

IN: AU flag pick, Smiley Badge, kaleidescope, gold tone child's ring with real faux gemstones!

Found by Dad and Cal, with Father-In-Law in tow. Quick find, only the one spiking.
Took little car and TB,
Left Highlighter.

Popped up as a drive by, so I avoided the injuries to get it. Left a TB. Thanks!

What a nice spot! Liked the hide - although got a bit prickly! Left the NAB geocoin. TFTC

10th of 20 finds for the day.

Was just about ready to give it away as too hard when that doesn't look right and there it was at 12.30pm. Lots of muggles around not in the park but just the general area.

T: Shark
L: Smurf

Found 1245. A lovely old cottage. A quick stop on our way around the area. TNLN.

first find for the day knew where it was as walking towards area

Geokids thought the playground and creek was great!! Geo Dad less happy with the spiky bush [B)]. TNLN TFTC

Quickly spoted by Geo-sister-in-law, with nobody getting spiked by nasty looking sisel hemp plant.

Well, we were in the right place; GeoMom had a look first, then I had a look whilst GeoMom and GeoSon played in the nearby play park and listened to the corellas
Alas, with a few jabs on me here and there, the cache wasn't found tonight. It was just gone sunset, so maybe the lack of light didn't help (though it wasn't THAT dark ! ) Had to look inconspicuous as auto-muggles zoomed by ! [8)]
Anyhow, we did see a nice cottage and had fun in the park; perhaps we'll try this one another day.

Ouch!! Despite the warning I got spiked several times. Nice history lesson about a lovely old building next to a pleasent park.
T-Bracelet.
L- two cuddley toys.

4:05 pm - Quick easy find. One of many on my South of the City flexi day. TFTC Screaming past our 200th cache today.

Now for a coffee with a local I know.

Cheers from The Barramundi's

Fairly quick drive by with Tarmar, got a bit of Cottage history and off to the next locacheion. TNLN

No dramas. After a wee scout around had cache in hand before too long. TNLN

Gave up after several puncture wounds to hands and face! I'm sure it's in there somewhere, but it wasn't seen by me!

Found at 17:30.
I think the dog may have actually found this one (or there's something else in that hole which smells good). No swap.

Walking the dog around the park while waiting to talk to the mechanic over the road, we thought that this would be good place for a cache. On checking out the GSAK, we found we were right. We'd left the Etrex at home, but using Ozi on an IPAQ PDA and a bluetooth GPS got us close enough to guess the rest.
Not sure about the terrain rating though - that stuff is sharp. TNLNSL. Thanks for our 200th.

After 2 scratches from the plants and then seeing the syringe I decided this wasn't a kid friendly cache so moved along.

Gave up the hunt for this cache after discovering a discarded syringe amongst all the other discarded crap at GZ. As my gran used to say it's all fun until you have someones eye out.

Found on 19/03/06 @ 1040. Testing out a friends new GPS.
Their GPS seems to work fine, we found this one ok.

First of five caches today (other caches being: Centenary Footbridge, The Peoples Princess, Bridge to Willunga, Perry’s Bend). Found 04/03/06 (4th March) @ 3:15pm by Paul (Team Stargazer). While the girls went out clothes shopping, Mike (Team Raider) and I decided caching was far more enjoyable.
We were soon at GZ and while Mike walked around in circles arguing with a stubborn GPSr, I had a look in a suspect hiding spot ... a-ha, cache!

Took: MFS cloth patch
Left: Hot rod car

Cheers setsujoku

Found 04/03/06 (4th March) @ 3:15pm

Nothing to do today so Stargazer says "lets grab some caches"

This is the first of 5 today.

I walked around in circles arguing with a stubborn GPSr, Paul had a look in a suspect hiding spot ... a-ha, cache!

Eighteenth of 23 finds for the day in the company of SA_Parrothead and Skippy&Lambchops. I decided not to don the dragon-skin gloves, and I managed to retrieve the cache unscathed. However, when I bent over to replace it, I got jabbed! I never did work out what the "BH" means. [?] I made no exchange at this one. Thanks to setsujoku for the cache.

You gotta watch you don't get pricked by the bush, an easy find
TNLN
Thanks setsujoku

Found by Mary & David at 1740. We both enjoy historical sites and this one really appealed. Took figurine, left Thankyou stamp. Our thanks to setsujoku.

The 5th and last for the afternoon. Thank goodness it wasn't a camo container, who would ever plant something like that now. Took allen keys, left Narnia toy. Cheers.

Found 12:10pm. Heading down south for a weekend camping. Whilst Mr Ermalesh was relieving himself, Mrs Ermalesh rushed in to stake a find on our first find for the weekend. After "train stops" last weekend new where to look straight away, unfortuneately Mrs Ermalesh did rush in. (Ha! Ha!). TNLN (except the blood from Mrs Ermalesh's hand). Cheers.
