No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
as i have found this one before and the owner isnt around, i thought i would check on it. GZ is fully fenced off due to some council work, so wont be accessible for a couple of months i reckon. please dont archive it yet.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
Cache probably needs to be at a minimum disabled based on the works, and given that the owner hasn't logged onto the site since August 2010, one could almost argue that the cache has been orphaned by the owner and should be archived. Cheers Gav
We didn't really attempt this one as the logs didn't look favourable. Cheers Gav
I don't think this one is accessible any more. There are council workers redoing the whole area of concrete. I'll come back later I guess......
The area has been closed with council fencing for repairs. I can see it, I can almost touch it!! Might need to be looked at after they leave as I think they are going to overhaul the square.
Nice Hide, did'nt know the location was Goyder Square until the find. Another caching lesson.
Easy find.... showing a potential new recruit how caching works..... It should be right here ... and there it was! He was suitably impressed! TFTC
Nice and quiet at night very easy find when no one is around. Good one to introduce new people to the fun.

Daily tally #31/32
Great hide in such an open place. This was found quickly but I think it was more to do with the time of day - no shops open, no markets, library closed... only a lone taxi doing an illegal (?) cut through to the road...
The log book has definitely had it, we couldn't sign it, but we have taken a photo of the cache at the nearby landmark should you require proof of find... (Anderka will probably upload soon enough)

19:35 (found with ywurry): 31 of 32. Nice easy find at a very quiet time of the day. We couldn;t sign the log, but took a photo with enough evidence of the find that I will upload and post soon. TFTC!
Found as a part of Team SaintsMadHouse and now that the kids have grown we each have our own accounts to finddd geocaches with separately wherever we go!Found it after a quick call to a mate to make sure we were in the right spot, despite the low number of trees, the GPS had us dancing around. It was lunch time and lots of muggles around but Geodaughter and her friend provided us with cover while we searched. a quick log and replacement and we were on our way, the log almost fell apart. TB Freddy the frog had a quick visit, he is being placed this weekend, just down the road a little.

Found while visiting relos in Darwin. as there were plenty of passing muggles, I had to time my grab carefully but cache was soon in hand! TFTC
Thought this was going to be harder than it was, a few muggles about, but a strategically placed backpack provided good cover. TFTC.
No 3 find in Darwin. Quick find on a Sunday evening, but would definitely be a challenge on Market day. Log desperately needs replacing.

Log was crammed full. Plenty of muggles around even on a non-market Sunday morning. TFTC
Found quickly with help of clue. Not too many muggles about early in the morning.
Trickiest Find Yet!! 5th attempt at looking for this one!! Hardly any muggles around today and found it in the first spot i ever looked!!!
TFTC!
Did not sign log as there was some Muggles around!

Muggles about. 4th attempt at looking for this nano and still cant find it.
Also it should be noted that there is a recently installed CCTV camera overlooking the GZ. Had a police patrol drive past the area several times - coincidence? Probably
Will try looking for it again at a later date.

OMG we found it! This was our 3rd attempt, very stoked Needs a new log book though. TFTC
A tricky little bugger to find - went there last night way to many muggles in area with the night markets happening - back again today ad found it - signed the log - TFTC!
i love these nano's, found after ten minutes of looking on a sunday afternoon, best time as no muggles were about.
Took the opportunity while working in Palmerston today for a quick lunch-time cache run. Tis was an easy find - few muggles, and in first spot I looked. Log is full though.

Found on my way to Darwin.
Thank you very much for the cache and showing the area.
The cache is still there, but it's wet and the logbook is full.

Went there yesterday afternoon and didn't find it Spent an hour looking. Someone has put down fresh mulch all over the grdens so maybe that's why it could not be found.
Will haev another look today to see if it's still there. Any clues?

Went to do a bit of shopping to replenish the pantry and noticed this cache only 150m away so we went and found it. Our first Darwin cache.
Bug passing through.

I looked in the wrong place at first but once the gps settled the cache was an easy find, thanks shadowranger
WanderingAus wandered by on day 71 of a "climatic refugee" trip. After dropping the geoChallenger at Winnellie for a service I caught the bus to Palmerston determined to clear the surrounding area of unfound caches.
Having pre-determined that GC18GCY Yip Therapy by Kerr NT, with 2 DNFs and no find for 11 months, was to be excluded, I had five caches to hunt down, and this was the first. After placing a new cache, I walked over to this one and made a very quick and easy GAFF 1 find.
My find No 1653, TNLNSL.

Found this one at about 1730hrs on the way home from a regular Sunday afternoon bike ride with a friend.
There were a few drunken locals having a domestic on the opposite side of Goyder Square, but they couldn't see me. I couldn't see them either, but boy I could hear them!
Figured out pretty quickly where the cache was given that it was a nano and using the clue, but I spent a good ten minutes crawling all over GZ trying to find the cache. My hands must have skimmed over it half a dozen times before I finally found it.
This was my last cache (of 3) for the day and I took me and the pushie off home afterwards, with a quick stop at the cop shop to let them know about the domestic in the Square.
Signed log. Thanks for the cache shadowranger.

Found while restocking the pantry on the Bucket Trip. Public holidays can be good for somethings. Nice quick find with few muggles about. TFTC
A short look and there is was. Great hide.
A few muggles in the area, but they ended up leaving

Found at 1330hrs. muggles hanging around (they should have been at school!) they left and we found it fairly easily in the end TFTC
After grabbing another nearby cache I walked across to this one and had the place to myself. Found at 1345hrs.

Ms Bushies2 found it before Mr Bushies2! A few local muggles but they didn't take any notice of us. Thanks shadowranger for the little cache and hunt.
Very easy to find cache and the true use of a nano.
Rated: for Overall Experience
A nice little lunch break but the magnet has seperated from the nano and I did't have any glue with me but will return to repair soon. TFTC
Yep co-ords spot on here alright! Junior hefalump found this one straight away. TFTH
New co-ords spot on. Easy find but be careful as the cache may separate into two parts which makes replacing it difficult. TFTC

Nice easy find, however the posted coords take you to the middle of a carpark. Found easy enough, however by my GPS coords out by 14 metres. It might need checking and amending again. Thanks for the cache Shadowrangers.
