No response to Needs Maintenance request and more DNFs. Owner hasn’t found any caches for years. This one needs to go off peoples maps.
With a bunch of DNFs and previous finders who can’t find it, this one may need some CO attention.
We spent far too long searching in the rocks for this one and eventually came up empty handed. Mr Ozjeeper's hand however, came up with some deep scratches that would not stop bleeding. Even some treats from the nearby confectionery factory were not enough to stop him from complaining.
Had the morning to myself, so went out to find some caches. This one was found OK. Thanks MAMF
I only had a quick look as even though it was night there was still traffic and I felt suspicious so didn’t use a torch. I stuck my hand in some holes though, but with no luck. Will return another time.
On an After-Work bike ride to smash some calories after last night's "BFE's PI Night" event at Blair Athol, Café De Vili's (I wont even go there re: what I had, lol ) I kept moving on to this the 4th find for the alvo . I came close to DNF-ing this as it was a bit busy and the co-ords had me not where the booty was, but as all good cacher's do, the search was widened somewhat. Cache was soon in hand [^] and the log was signed at 17:00 on Wed. 15 Mar 2017. All within it is fine [^] TFTC MR and MRS FLUFFY
Found it while my partner was looking for a parking spot, easy find with a bit of luck without that many muggles around TFTFun
Found!!! Found with suewhitters while the rest of the family were shopping at the Good Guys. Tftc.
The search took longer than it should have. But for muggles, we make allowances.
The snake soon had the cache in hand. Tftc

With no luck at GZ we widened our search thinking this may have gone but the Snake eventually came across the prize and a log was signed. Pity they have closed many of these places, the young will never know the joy we had in our day. TFTC and the memories.
Here with hevwalker after some night caching at Blackhill Conservation Park.
We needed a cache pick me up after a few DNFs.
The clue was very handy but we were nervous due to the security patrol sign.
So the cache was signed and replaced, quickly. Thanks for the hide Mr and Mrs Fluffy

Had a quick search for this whilst grabbing some supplies for our next geo-adventure ;c) Luckily no one was parked in the nearest carpark to GZ. Did not take long for red to have the cache in hand, who gave it to ronso to sign, before returning it to where it was found :c) TFTC!!
A quick find with Mrs M after the shops were closed. We never went to this Drive in, it was closed when we lived in the area, but I remember the one in the Barossa when we were kids. I wonder how many people used to sneak into this one in the boot of the car. Cheers. MODU.
Found this one on a Tuesday afternoon. I parked my car off the street instead of the parking area for shoppers. It did take some time to search, as the signal is not stable for my iphone. Finally found it. Hopefully no one else noticed me.
Thanks for the cache, MR and MRS FLUFFY.

On day one in Adelaide I thought that I would spend a couple of hours in the afternoon grabbing a couple of caches. I also needed some new wiper blades so I also had a quick trip to Supa Cheap Autos. A quick find. TNLN. TFTC.
Luckily spotted the cache as I approached GZ.
Log book needs replacing.
Cheers. Find #1055

We had been to this cache when it was first published and were muggled out. We decided to leave for a night trip but then moved away from Adelaide. On returning to Adelaide we were now living much closer to here but still decided to leave it for a night trip. That still didn't happen, but we decided early on Christmas morning was another good time to do this and soon had the cache in hand.

Loved this cache ! Technically this my first solo cache without out a parent with in one hundred metres. Do not worry mum was in freedom just a little bit away. Would not call this cache micro would just classify it as small. Still micro cache and 21st cache overall. Would say muggles will be very suspicious on this cache. Enjoyed most parts parts of this cache though not many swaps. Ps gps lead 7 metres from cache so don't follow it . If you need help look in the bushes near the stones. Tftc reasonably fun good 21st cache!
This probably wasn't a good idea to do this cache on a Sunday as there were lots of people coming in and out, but we did it anyway. One stood on watch while the other got it. Thanks for the cache.
During a brief break in the rain, geokids made a slight detour to grab this cache. It doesn't happen often, but wow it feels good when you locate the cache In the first place you look. Thanks for the cache.

Found in the wee hours of the morning with two muggle mates who thought I was quite mad. TFTC.
Out caching with Earthlight for a few caches. 4th time lucky, and finally found by Earthlight ... a bit away from where my GPSr says I should be and looking at Google Earth seems my GPSr took me to where the co-ords are posted. Could well be the sign and fence messing up my GPSr.
Added some co-ords if you are having trouble finding it as I had, they might help.

I remember the good old days when we would go to the drivein and watched the westerns.
Us girls would go to the playground in our pj's and fall asleep before the movie started.
Thanks for the memories and the cache.
Took trackables to visit.

This is our last day of caching after attending the Oz Mega Event. After checking out of our accommodation, iluvtrekking accompanied us caching on the way to the airport. Thanks Mr & Mrs Fluffy.
Today our caching buddies richlink were due to catch a flight back to Perth so we made our way to Henley Beach and the Port area to enjoy some food and coffee and caching (of course).
Thanks for your cache MR and MRS FLUFFY.

We timed our visit with the end of weekend shopping giving us a little more opportunity to look for the hide. Found after a few short moments surveying the area for possible hides. With the area muggle free we went in for our assault and soon had cache in hand. TFTC.
With a muggle free area my dad (Silverfoxed) and I went out to find this one and came out successful! TFTC
Found this quite some time ago, was in the area and almost went to do it again, doh. Sorry for the delay in logging. TFTC MR and MRS FLUFFY.
I had attempted this one during business hours but gave up as after reading the descriptor and hint i figured i would have had to have entered areas that would have raised suspicion. Tonight it was deserted. Took a while to find the right spot but eventually had cache in hand
Last one on our Christmas night cache hunt with GrumpyBump. The plants cop a bit of a trampling ... TFTC.
[:(!] Over from Perth to visit geoson (RevolutioSolutio) and his family for the festive season for a couple of weeks, and on this day we went for dusk/night caching run and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and we walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.
Merry Christmas to one and all.

To be fair I think the ants swarming me might have cut short a much longer search.
I will also note that it is on private property, and that as of this post there is not an owner permission attribute, and to get to it, you have to go around the perimeter fence a little.
Perhaps I'll try again when I have a car to hide me a little. Not the best start of the caching run. :/

Day 21: 31 Days of Geocaching Challenge
Found at night when there were no muggles about. Took a while to find in the cold & wet weather. Finally found by SM1, then signed and replaced. TFTC.

Out with Locus Cache grabbing a few GC's for the 31 days of August challenge on day one. Quick & easy find, TFTC.
Parking can be an issue for many cache hunts, but not this one. When we got near GZ there were only a few locations consistent with the hint. We gradually eliminated the possible hides and the cache was soon in hand. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC Mr and Mrs Fluffy.
