The correct log should have been an archive log if you have no intention of replacing the cache.

Five DNFs and I checked GZ and I think the container has been taken.
I emailed the CO twice (on 3 Feb and 2 Apr) but got no reply.
I think it’s time this one was archived.

Sounds like this one has been nicked also.. Thanks to all who have reported that it was missing.
Not living in Whyalla anymore, so wont be replacing this one.

Only find here was a very large brown snake thankfully it was stationary unlike this cache which seems to have gone walkabout time for owner to check on it

went on a small cache run and only ended up with 7 out 13.
and this was one of the dnf's. maybe next time.

Our third did not find for the day. Very disappointing. Any clues for this one. Btw nice snake nearby.

On a 2 day cache run from Adelaide to Whyalla and back.

We didn't find your cache in the time allowed but we are logging all our dnf's because of the cache vandal in Whyalla.

We may have just missed it but it may be gone.

We gave it a good look but didn't see it but then again it might have been my fear of snakes and the large nearby snake sculpture that through me off. Will give it another look next time I am in town.

We met yakcm yesterday at the Munyaroo 4wd caching event and she very kindly offered to show us around own today grabbing caches and also learning a bit of the history. For this we were really thank full as our in car navigator had no real idea of the streets of Whyalla and kept leading us dead ends yesterday when we were by ourselves.
We really enjoyed the attraction near GZ and would not have known what it was if it were not for our very knowledgeable tour guide. The cache was a fairly quick find, these containers are becoming popular but are still a good hide.
Many thanks missyhere.

Easy One on the way home

First micro I've found so far, and for a beginner like me a very clever hide. Had almost given up, but thought I'd have one last look over the spot I'd been looking at for about 10 mins and found it. TFTC

Easy one on the way home, TFTC

Great idea, paper got wet, spent a few minutes drying it out, should be Ok, please replace with the opening facing down

Powerful indeed! TFTC

Neat cache in an area I have previously visited.

Back in town for a few caches (interrupted only by the need to work) this one did not start out well. The GPS was not playing along and it was only after re-reading the cache notes that I figured where this one was going to be.

After more than a few minutes of peering, prodding and poking I was about ready to concede that this one couldn't be found by phone light. It was only when, with one last headscratching pause, my hand brushed against the "in plain view but invisible" cache revealed itself.

TFTC (even if it did add a few points to the ''clumsy" column of the caching skillz ledger.)

it was a challenging one

Needs maintenance, log was very wet. Clever hide tho. TFTC

A Quick find for me while cycling around town this morning. I had seen thios type before online which really helped.

Nice simple hide. TFTC

Its a very good idea it took me a while to find it I really like it.

Nice clever hide. searched a bit for this one as the wind was sending GPS everywhere. SL. TFTC.

Good clues for this cache. My 10 year old caching assistant found this one.

Nice quick find

A simple ebough find - that must be my first snake sighting for this trip (sic).

First.one like this I have found rather cleaver TFTC

Found O.k.on the way to Port Augusta. TFTC

Great Hide - blends in well...TFTC MissyHere

Nice hide that Sushilord spotted before me, even though I have hidden one of these myself.

Having seen a few hidess like this in my caching travels made for a quick find.

We spent a few minutes looking at the interesting artwork nearby.

Thanks for bringing us here missyhere.

Found it and signed the log. Thanks missyhere.

Luckily I was with a previous finder who assisted with the find. Personally I'm a crows man Clear skies.

Very clever - a few attempts - found eventually with GeoDad.

Wow. great cache. found it by chance. Akela0

Very clever found quickly.

Good to see a cache here again, After finding a cache like this before, you know what to look for. Very clever. TFTHSL

Déjà vu, Im sure I've been here before

Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

I wondered how long it would be before someone would place a cache here after the last one (Hourly, Daily http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=1ce3459f-e1f2-4abc-abfc-18ca69781035 ) was archived.
An excellent replacement – loved the hide!
And speaking of powerful – there sure was a powerful pong coming from the bins by the picnic shelter – I don’t think I’d want to eat there at the moment. [xx(]
Thanks missyhere.

Found quickly, with a couple of hint's from on-cache-patrol. Thanks Missyhere.

2nd to find.....
sneeky quick find.
Only minutes behind woodsy again.

Easy to find...Yeah Right! Clever hide, I'll have to watching out for you Missyhere...sneaky, very sneaky.

Scratching around where all those who went before me had scratched.. It took a little while for the penny to drop. TFTC

Nice quick FTF @ 1.00pm. TFTC
