Didn’t try too hard but the other comments put a downer on our motivation might come back again

Had a good look but couldn't see anything matching the previous logs.
 
26-Feb-20
Looked all around, read the previous logs, looked at all the photos so knew we were in the right place but dnf. Suspect muggled
 
26-Feb-20
Pretty sure we found where its meants to be. Looks like it may have been muggled

06-Feb-20
What a great find, was a little thrown off at first but found it in the end. Not directly at the convention centre but not too far off
 
01-Feb-20
First cache in Adelaide for this time was placed where it should according to the naming. Logbook was completely soaked. I gave it a new piece of paper and a small plasic bag to keep it dry. CO may need to give it some love and remove the soggy pieces.
 
23-Jan-20
After the walk on the north side of the river, I came back to King William Road to catch a bus. A stop on the way, and the cache was found, no problem as I guessed what to look for.
Excellent system of cache.
Thank you for the placement
 
16-Jan-20
Love these ones! Thanks for the sneaky hide
 
15-Jan-20
Tftc luckily we busted our brains on one just like this many years before!
 
14-Jan-20
Never seen a geocache like this. Saw it initially but didn’t think twice about it. TFTC!
 
12-Jan-20
Were scratching our heads for a bit.... what are we missing? Then a further wander revealed what we were after. Tftc
 
10-Jan-20
took us a while! pay attention to the name, and pay attention to what side of the road you’re on!

Found with Wal and Ol on the way to NYE show. Previous pic helped to narrow the search, TFTC!
 
31-Dec-19
We've searched unsuccessfully for this one in the past, but it needed some research to zero in on it. Tonight's the night, on the way to NYE celebrations with Pony1966. TFTC

Location is a bit off, last hunt of the day
 
24-Dec-19
While staying in Adelaide to visit about a million people in too little time.e we had to check the map and picked this caches for the day, close to the hotel is always handy too.
The cache name reminds us of John Travolta dancing and singing ginger in Grease, but that has nothing to do with the cache, but it is still a very appropriately named cache.
Wow city caching is no fun when we have to trust the GPSr , this little post had us all over the place. After being a logical cacher took over we soon had the cache sighed.
Mr Kookacrew did the grab, Mrs Kookacrew did the signing and Mr Kookacrew did the replacing. The photo is of a nearby display at the front of the museum pretty cool hey?
Thanks matt&Jo-star for the cache. TNLN

Diesen „Urbanen Klassiker“ konnte ich schon von Weitem erspähen, auch wenn die Satelliten mich erst in die Irre führen wollten konnte ich hier einen schnellen und unauffälligen Fund verzeichnen.

18-Nov-19
This was on my way to meet the others for dinner tonight so I stopped by for a look. A very strange one due to the fact Upoj's maps showed it to be in the middle of the road Surprised and Upoj itself was pointing to the 'other' side of the road. Surprised From that side though, I spotted something that fitted with the title and sure enough, once there I spotted the sneaky hide at 18:30. Smile

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks matt&jo-starr.

Attending a conference at the InterContinental, nice to see log paper from the same hotel Smile
GPS drifting, so took longer to find than it should have...
 
31-Oct-19
That was a tough one for us. We have to wonder around for a bit trying to search poles in the middle of the road, on the other side - no luck. And then, thanks to previous finds, we got it in our hands. TFTC
 
31-Oct-19
Found it. Out after a conference, discovering caches on a boiling hot night. No ghosts to be seen (halloween)

On the wrong side of the street to start with before noticing the required cache. Thanks for the placement.

Yesterday Skuzzybear and I headed to the far lands of the east, to Victoria, for a cache. And on the way back we stopped by to do the bike series. Alas due to extremely bad planning, we left two hours late, and ran out of daylight to complete the bike.

Today i went back, with Munja this time, and this time got back with loads of time to spare. So we headed out to the oval to tour the statues and and had a great time sneaking past the guard. Walking back to the car we stopped by here for a cache that munja identified earlier. Yep, nice easy find, one of my favourite hide styles (but alas, still does not have room for a TB!)

Many thanks from New Zealand. Smile
 
05-Oct-19
Rosie and I took a while to find this one but when we did we were soooo happy
 
03-Oct-19
I was in Radelaide just on 2 years ago with no luck here.

Today I widened my search and was soon in the correct locale.

It was good to return and put a smiley in place here..

I sat and signed before moving on.

No luck at this one this morning. TFTH!
 
30-Sep-19
Searched the other side of the road for quite a while, then went over and found what I was looking for.
Tftc
 
30-Sep-19
Tried this one in the early morning when I was on the other side of the road.

Came back this way in the afternoon and was on the right side this time. Spotted the cache but the place was super busy. I waited for a break in the foot traffic and reached over to find it was a fraction out of reach. Gave a little extra and the cache was in my grasp. Replaced it about 10cm closer as an act of kindness for the next finder.

TFTC!

Found a space to squeeze the name in.

My last day in Adelaide after a quick visit for work. This was just down the road from my hotel. I knew what to expect based on the description, but when I reached the GZ I couldn't find what I was looking for. I then saw an obvious hint object across the road, and a very quick find of the cache.

05-Sep-19
TFTC. Just had a bit of problems with the coordinates lead to the other side of the road.
 
01-Sep-19
At first we searched to no avail and then after reading some previous logs decided to look on the other side of the road. A likely spot soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
 
31-Aug-19
GPS was jumping around
 
19-Aug-19
Found but paper log inside soaked and needs replacing/more added. In the area often so will check back and out more in at some stage if hasn't been done.

Very challenging but very the past activity really helped
 
22-Jun-19
Headed into the city to attend the Flash Mob event. Lovely weather so I decided to park in Hackney and walk in. Of course I grabbed a couple of caches on the way.
After attending the event I grabbed this one. Bad GPS lock here so I spent a couple of minutes searching on the wrong side of the road. Only realised my error after looking at some past photos.

Could very easily be a long search but thankfully I got lucky and found it relatively quickly.

Thanks for the cache.

Our GPS was very erratic at this location but the cache name and the hint helped focus or search. The cache was located after a short search. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks matt&jo-starr for the cache.
 
23-Apr-19
We read the logs ages ago and knew where to find this, so a quick walk-by this afternoon would add our names to the log. Checked all 3 objects, but yielded nothing. Back to the drawing board...
 
20-Apr-19
I love these types of caches! thanks for the hide Smile

We've struggled with this cache a couple of times in the past, not getting anywhere and not daring to risk a visit to the middle of the road. Today, guided by an excellent hint in BackPAQer's log we narrowed down the search area and soon the cache was in hand. TNLNSL TFTC
 
19-Feb-19
I really didn’t want to give up on this one but it’s got me stumped
 
10-Feb-19
Thanks for this one. Have forgotten to make a log in the phone. We actually found it the 7th.

Coords seem to be in the middle of the road. Wandered around for a bit and moved closer to the convention center and voila.

Went to area but could have been removed as it was created in 2010?

Thanks so much for the cache! Landed in Adelaide from Sydney, with one of our bags missing at the airport. A bit of a downer. Finding the cache raised our spirits and also brought us luck, because on return to our room, we were informed our bag had arrived!! We needed the info from other logs, but having done the pre-reading, it was an easy and fun find.
