Had a quick look. Few dnfs so didnt spend too long.
 
05-Feb-20
I was in the area this evening picking up something from the shops, and so decided to call past this location. It was at prime peak at around 5 p.m., so traffic was heavy.

I had a very good look along the fence and around GZ. I started reading through past logs and images, and I started getting pretty confident to where I needed to look. Still more looking. Scanning along, and getting views from all sorts of angles. Despite it being a spawn of Satan, I still didn't manage to find the little bugger. I suspect it is missing, since I had a very good look to where it should have been, but will watch this space. Thanks anyway.

Yes, spawn of Satan indeed. Intriguing.

An amazing find. Look along the fence below.

My Brother and I found this geocache today on the 14th of April 2019.
This was our first one and we had a lot fun finding it!
 
01-Jan-19
Cache #1980. Second cache I found on the first day of 2019. Also, it's the first traditional cache I found this year.

Cannot remember how many times I tried this cache. Three or four times, at least. All failed. Today, I drove past there, and decided to try again.

Quick check with no luck. Then I read the previous logs. Found a very useful hint. With the hint, I quickly located the hidden spot for this little one.

For the future cacher who needs hint: no need to walk too close to the railway.

Took the log sheet, signed, and put it back. That was time consuming.

Thanks for the cache, Trail06.


PS: Since it's nano cache, let's add this: "Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.". Luckily, now this nano cache is a yellow smiley face for me.
 
26-Dec-18
Thanks Trail06 for the tough hide. Had me stumped, needed a thorough search, today it was found a metre from a meter
 
26-Dec-18
Very small. Trust GZ. And different colour to the fence! Tftc
 
02-Aug-18
Another usual Thursday out with the Rat seeking some newer placed hides since our last visit and attempting many others on our travels just south of the city.

A number of choice words were muttered, a sneaky clever nasty hide. Trust you GPS adders, trust your GPS.

Out for some caching with Normanville on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Even though the last log was a dnf gave it a go & Normanville struck gold - well a nano. We will go back to Brighton, now with positiveness, will have another go at 'electrification'. Tftc
 
03-Jun-18
Smallest one yet

The fringe is coming to a close, but not our caching. Out again with Wal &Ol for some post show activities. Get it "Post" .TFTC
 
18-Mar-18
Some post-show caching with Pony1966 on a balmy night. Took a while... poke, poke poke...TFTC
 
17-Jan-18
No luck. Too hot to hang around too long.
 
01-Jan-18
Wow. Challenging! My first nano
 
26-Dec-17
Coords had me 9m away looking for a tiny cache on the wrong fence for a while.

Read some past logs and a photo put me at the right fence.

Cache was soon in hand. $@&&*/ nannos. Kitten killers.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Cache for the day required and decided to head out to this area and try to make the find on this one. Had tried once previously but was muggled out of it . Today however was a different story. Parked nearby and wandered over to GZ and located the little SOS relatively quickly. Extracted log signed and replaced. Then came the part I hate. Reroll the log and get it back in its container. Finally got that sorted and replaced the cache in the hide. Thank goodness that one is now a smiley.
Bloody nanos. Spawn of Satan. Burn down the nano factory and exterminate anyone who sells nanos.

A Saturday afternoon cache hunt. Found this one after a little searching. Not many muggles about. Great day for it!

I've been looking for this for ages. If it's hidden really well
 
22-Jul-17
Super small!!!
 
15-Jul-17
Looked for ages but couldn't find it, seems like some work had been done on the fences so maybe it's no longer there..
 
15-Jun-17
Looked for ages. Couldn't find it
 
23-May-17
Found today while caching a little bit west of the city.

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.
And this one was very nasty indeed.

Thanks for the cache Trail06
 
22-May-17
Found it. That Spawn of Satan wasn't quite where my GPS indicated but we found it relatively quickly However we have not signed the log book as we spent several unsuccessful minutes tryi g to extract it even our tools were useless..The photo will have to be sufficient. TFTC
 
27-Feb-17
Searched a little bit before looking at the previous logs. A quick find after that. TFTC
 
27-Dec-16
TT016 were visiting for Christmas so after I finished work today headed West to collect a few caches, taking advantage of less traffic due to the public holiday...
My grand daughter & I were checking out the trains as they passed...even got a wave from the driver...S-I-L found the cache...my GD & I went to the car to get the required tool to extract the log...signed & returned to it's hide...TFTC Trail06
 
27-Dec-16
Visiting geo nanna in Mount Barker for Christmas.
after a spot of shopping at Ikea,
and the weather calming down
we decided to get a cache or more...
this was our last for the day as it was getting too close to dinner time.
Miss 2 was very excited to watch the trains go by under geo nanna supervision.
tftc!!
 
27-Dec-16
Cache fixed and ready to go.
 
12-Nov-16
Luckily it was very quiet around here today.
Still felt like I was being watched though.

Some nanos aren't too hard to find and some nanos are evil little spawns of satan.
This one was the second kind.
Found it after reviewing the log images.

TFTC Trail06. Find #1773 Razz
 
17-May-16
First DNF for the night.
 
08-May-16
Oh yeah. Found it, but no pen. I'll drop by later to sign it.
 
23-Apr-16
i'm new to this geocaching thing but i'll get back (live close by so happy to leave this one for a bit)
 
09-Mar-16
Searched at 1600 on the 9/3/16 and later at 2200
Looked everywhere around the fence, found nothing Sad
 
09-Mar-16
Out for a day of frivolity, adventure cache type things.
We had lots of laughs and stories throughout the day.
A sneaky little cache and hide.
Owl made the find. TFTC
 
09-Mar-16
A return trip by Owl, who was starting to feel the effects of an injured leg and was no longer concerned about muggle curiosity. Muggle Deception Technique #33 (stare them down) was employed while prizing the little sucker out. (You know that a kitten is killed every time you place a nano, don't you?) Now that green box won't annoy her every time she drives past this spot.
 
02-Mar-16
"Emerson" and "15min Go Zone" on Tusmore Rd, the same type of nano, (different colour) very tricky but found with pure fluke and some intuition thanks to Google Satellite maps pinpoint accuracy. Trail06, good hide great stuff, I love these challenging Nano's. Found at 19:15 on Wed. 2 Mar 2016. TFTC
 
31-Jan-16
TFTC. Success today on this one
 
26-Jan-16
clare007 & I had been caching all afternoon & were looking forward to the last couple before heading home...we searched for sometime but came up empty handed...we were muggled by a man...we think he lives across the road...who told us very sternly that we were on railway property and should get off & leave...so we did...
 
22-Jan-16
Second DNF of the day! [xx(]
 
14-Jan-16
Yahoooo!! Finally found it! Very Happy Very tricky. Did the Happy Cache Finding Dance, signed the log, then waited quite a while for muggles to clear off so I could replace. I loved Ratbag2's advice 'Don't get your head swiped off by a train, Mum - it's not a good life choice'.

Your turn, roxyadelaide Wink
 
14-Jan-16
Found this one after conscripted by CrackedChelle, very sneaky hiding place with high muggle density. TFTC
 
07-Jan-16
I think we weren't looking it the right places today. 3 DNFs for me today, this was number 2.
 
02-Dec-15
Looked everywhere even stuck fingers up holes Smile
 
28-Nov-15
Couldn't find
 
22-Nov-15
We are sure it's there and we just can't find it. I am going to bring Ratbag 2 next time, he'll find it quickly Smile
 
22-Nov-15
Looked everywhere no luck.
 
22-Nov-15
Well done thank you
 
22-Nov-15
Sorry entered incorrect find
 
12-Nov-15
Came back to this one with Timotatus by night stealth.
Stuck my paws in all the same places again - and bingo!
This time we found the little spawn of cacheness Big Grin
Unravelled, signed and replaced...

Looked and looked! Sad
 
03-Oct-15
Was close by so group effort to find it with muggles tftc
 
06-Aug-15
Had been here to look before but hadn't made the find. Today was a different matter, had the cache in hand within seconds of teaching GZ. TFTC.
 
28-Jul-15
Had looked for this before but can't not sure why I didn't find it. Walked straight to it today
 
25-Jul-15

TFTFun
 
13-Jun-15
Out for an arvo with Andy Columbia and locus to collect some smileys after phooning.
Feeling alive listening to the birds and collecting caches and placing a few hides.
Thanks for the hide
 
13-Jun-15
After attending an event earlier, I was joined by two lovely ladies Cool
While enjoying the company of Andy Columbia and travellinbees, I managed to have 1 DNF Sad and 25 finds Smile for the day.

I had been and looked for this cache before with no success, so I almost drove past it but I am ever so glad that we didn't!
A find was made quite quickly and so we SL.
We did note that the log was missing a few recent finders' signatures so we had a bit of a look for a possible second cache but couldn't find one.

TNLN. SL. TFTC Trail06 Smile
 
06-Jun-15
This one took some time in the fading light but I let my fingers do the searching. Saw a couple of trains head into the city full on Power supporters for tonight's game. Thanks Trail06
 
10-May-15
Found it on our second attempt. Touched a lot of cobwebs to get there! Tftc!
 
04-May-15
Cold wet night and cat's eyes not awake enough for this one :/
 
03-May-15
Nice easy, no muggles in this quiet street
 
03-May-15
No luck for us tonight, maybe we need to try in full daylight. Very frustrating since it has been found very recently.
 
23-Apr-15
We looked up and down, in and out and finally found it after many times of seeing myself. TFTC.
 
16-Feb-15
Out and about this afternoon doing a few chores and decided to stop here on my way past. Started looking...and looking...and feeling...and feeling. Surprised Knew where it had to be, so attacked it systematically, then after reading a few logs I made the find. Big Grin Slippery little sucker. [?]
Thanks for the cache Trail06. Smile
 
13-Feb-15
Out night caching on a very warm night
Located cache after a short hunt
As easy as 1 2 3 nope as easy as 4
Hate these little devils
Tftc
 
13-Feb-15
Being such a nice night there is only one thing to do...go caching : ) picked up earthlight and The X-Trailers and headed down to this part of town, we return tonight with back up and we spread out and started the search, looking here and looking there and eventually we put our finger on the prize, this should be a bit higher with the difficulty rating considering 10% are DNFs, i could write "5" large Posts about my adventure so the difficulty rating is on par and then maybe "2" smaller posts ; ) TFTC and thank goodness this one is off my to do list.
 
31-Jan-15
Well, that took ages, but therosettamonkey persevered with the selfie cam & a torch. Just as I have up, he found it!
 
31-Jan-15
Found with apparentlyjessy.
Tiny piece of sh#t.
But persistence perserveres Smile
 
01-Jan-15
Tricky but this time selfie cam worked tftc
 
01-Jan-15
This one easier than the last station, less options here and a perfected search method for this type of hide. Go selfie cam! Thanks. Not going to get any more of this series on this trip to SA but will come back and look again.
 
29-Nov-14
?
 
27-Nov-14
We did try to have a look for this little cache... but nope Sad
It looks like is gone Sad
 
04-Nov-14
As per previous cachers could not put gauntlet to cache. I will admit to not looking for very long, based on the DNFs, but still came so that can put in a NM log.

It is now a little over 3 months since last find, so perhaps CO could check. TBs are enjoying the stroll at least.
 
13-Oct-14
Sad
 
13-Oct-14
No luck

07-Sep-14
Has it been replaced since the new fencing was installed?
 
19-Aug-14
There is no cache on the new fence.
 
03-Aug-14
Trued w/oit success hooi g it would give me clues to others in the series. Will return and wont let it beat me
 
27-Jul-14
Great small find. Hint helped a lot.
 
25-Jul-14
Yes - we finally found this one. TFTC
 
22-Jul-14
Recently rebuilt surrounds
 
15-Jul-14
Could not find cache on new fence
 
29-May-14
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.
 
11-May-14
Unable to find
 
20-Dec-13
What better than a night out in town with Dennisc52, earthlight and 3LG and by the time I returned home at about 2am, there was only 1 DNF Sad and 9 locus cache smileys Smile
Sadly, this was the only DNF for us and we suspected railway line works have taken their toll Sad
Also suspect that the last log on here is a mistaken 'found it' as they talk about not finding it!

TFTC Trail06 Smile
