DNF - appears the bud shelter has been replaced compared to what was in previous photos
Think we know where the right spot for it is but weren’t able to find it - noticed the inconsistency

Nice hide - took longer to roll up the log to place it back in the nano than to find it

Over the moon to turn our longest-standing DNF into a smiley in less than a few minutes of searching! And at night to boot! TFTC!
11th of 12 finds for 28th Dec 2020. Rushing to reach 100 by the end of our first year caching!! This was a relatively fast find after a DNF breaking our 10 for 10 streak. TFTC! Sabo + JJ
While Christmas lunch was digesting i solved the two recently published POTUS puzzles so decided to head out and grab these before the start of play on Day 2 of the cricket. While out in the general direction I also grabbed a few multis, trads and other mysteries. A haul of Church caches (coincided with mass time), used to be church caches, caches next to churches and a few others scattered around various streets, bus stops and parks. Muggles everywhere for a Sunday morning but most sought were found. TFTC
Came around a bit later today to replace the logbook. I've let the reviewer know to remove the maintenance request.
Took a while but finally found it.
Log book is full and needs replacing.

I don't know if this one exists anymore! Maybe it's because we are novices and aren't skilled.
This took a while to find, as most nanos on structures normally do. I did a few loops and then had to study the interior. Still nothing, so continued my meticulous looking before eventually the geocache was found. As others have commented, the logbook is full and really needs replacing. Refer to my photo attached as I couldn't find time to put my mark in this logbook. It does look like the CO is no longer active, so perhaps a future Geocacher can replace the logbook on their behalf to keep this nano alive? Otherwise, thanks luckylu66.
Argh nanos! Their frustration lies in the search, and even then when found, the difficulty in logging and rolling. Best characterised as that annoying friend that hangs with your bestie!

Brought White Elf here, having found this myself over 3 years ago. He was barely able to sign the log because it is full, in fact I think he signed on top of someone else 
Nice hide. Quick find TFTC! Managed to squeeze in a tiny log. Caching with CrackedChelle
Picking up a couple of caches today working towards the Rio souvenir.
After reading the hint I knew where to look and after reading some previous logs, I knew what I was looking for. It still took a long search. A bit of cache blindness for a while there until I finally saw it.
Thanks for the cache.

We did accidentally end up at a different bus stop however which also contained a geocache which isn’t in the app, so the girls were excited to find a “super secret” bonus cache.

LOG BOOKS IS FULL
I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Another visit to this side of town to take my wife to an appointment. With half an hour or so to fill in while I waited, I thought I should try and find a cache. This one looked like it would be quick and easy and not too far away. It was a quick find and sign at GZ and I still had time to grab a coffee before I picked her up again.
Thanks luckylu66 for the cache.

Took about 15 minutes to find, well it felt like it. Put OZG on the edge of box 23 in the log. Ah nanos can’t live with them, can’t log without them
How did I miss this one last time? No idea. But quick find today. TFTC and my 3rd dnf cleared from the list today always satisfying to change those pesky blue frownies into yellow smiley faces.
TFTC and now I also have an idea for a puzzle.

This was a tricky one due to its size and awkward to reach location but the hunt was worth it! The logbook is full so couldn't record my find Thanks for the geocache, great fun!
We met a friendly muggle here today, apparently her daughter has tried for this one many times and never found it. Well, we were a bit worried about that, but after quite a bit of searching around, we spotted this tricky nano. TFTC!
Day 2, back in South Australia, on a caching mission, and spending some time at the sites. Tftc.
Went for a lunchtime bike ride from the CBD to Leabrook to clean up a few caches. Found 2 out of 4 visited.
Found this one thanks to the hint. Signed log then spent several minutes rolling it back up again - ah, the joys of nano's.

By the time I reached this cache I'd had three DNFs, the light was almost gone and I was somewhat ready to pack it in. I stood and poked around the roof of GZ but in the failing light I just couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Cache #1758.
This afternoon I made a detour to find some caches, before heading to the city for an geocache event.
Tried 5 caches, and found last two. This was the last one I found today.
I remember I tried this one before, it was a bus stop. I parked my car, and tried the bus stop. Can't find it. Double checked the app, and realised I was searching the wrong bus stop! How silly!
Moved to the next bus stop. Checked again. Luckily there was no one waiting for the bus. Cache has been found, with the help of hint. Nice nano.
Log sheet is full. I found a tiny gap between logs to write our name. Need a new log.
Thanks for the cache, luckylu66.

Doing some caching by myself this afternoon...
Don't particularly like nanos & don't particularly like to look for caches in bus stops but today there was no-one around & I found the cache in record time so I might reconsider my thoughts just this one time

Had to wait hope the bus... then we were able to do a quick search. Thanks for the fun!
Adelaide Trip 2017-2018. After Christmas I headed back to Adelaide for a family visit. Day 4. I went out for a long time failure cache for me today. Success and a few others added in for a fun day out.
Thanks.

Had just been to the Annual Christmas Event and decided to grab a few caches as I slowly made my way home. [^] Had a fun time in an area I don't frequent all that often. 
No buses while I was here today...knowing what I was looking for helped and I had soon sussed out the little blighter.
A quick step up and the cache was in hand.
Thanks for the cache luckylu66.

A bit scary with all the spiders around. A bus though I was waiting as well. Ha.
This was a second attempt at this one. Much better luck this time. Small indeed. TFTC
found it on route to the VENI, VIDI, COMEDO, QUATTUOR event . Finally the gz was empty. First 2 times I drove past on other days gz was full of muggles. quick easy find.
Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos

After attending a nearby event I decided to pick up some nearby to get the 1000 finds for the year. Some nice, quick and quality finds were made on an enjoyable day out.

Just as it was dusk i made the find. I was asked by a muggle in a BMW if my name was Tom? As I sat at the bus stop. No no no was my response and once he was gone I signed the log. TFTC.
Looked here there and there, and reached for the stars, but sadly came up empty this time, sad face
