Time for this one to go, making room for a new cache in a far better location.
I went looking for this one today and on arrival realised I had been here before!
Then when doing this log I noticed it has now been archived. Have put an estimated date for the previous visit. Will check against other logs when home.

Easy find by the snake, saw a couple of SA Sewer Rat's relatives scurrying around. Took TB. TFTC

Found with CWKemp. Great spot, thanks for the cache. Left a pencil and sharpener.
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Cache for the day required and on scrolling around the map saw this one not too far from the city and not having a lovely yellow smiley. So drove out and parked in the car park. Wandered over to GZ. Took a minute for the GPS to stabilise and while waiting, looked, and there was the cache in its hidey hole but exposed. Retrieved and extracted the log and signed it. Reassembled and put back in its hide and covered with the rocks as in the description.
Smile on the face as I drove back into the office knowing that soon there would be another smiley on the map.

Huzzah!! Slunk in the ditch and snaffled the golden snitch(cache). 2 more till 50!!!
I thought I do this one on the weekend as it may reduce the muggle factor, didn't see any
Thank goodness for little people. I would never have got down there. Little hands made the find. Good spot. Tftc.
In the ditch and under the cover of the trees, the compass was swinging around like a screen door in a hurricane - eventually found the hidden cache after about 5 mins searching in the dark - signed log - didnt pick up geocoin
Took me a bit to find it on this inclement evening. I thought it was gonna be a breeze. Found the clever hide in the end though. Nice Geocoin within too. Found at 16:48 on 27 May 2016. TNLN TFTC Bushwalker53
Sorry it took me so long to replace, been very busy recently! Thanks for your patience and happy caching!
Came here to check on this cache after a geocacher had some trouble finding it. I had a bit of trouble finding the cache myself until I turned around and broadened my search from the original hiding spot. Turns out it's moved! The cache was a little waterlogged however, as a previous geocacher mentioned. So I am disabling for a day or two while I dry it out!
Found number 54 of 62 on a geocaching Sunday. Found it on the way back from the Sellicks Hill giant Buddha statue (Guan Yin statue) of Nanhai Putuo Temple in Sellicks Beach, SA.
Finding this one is not as easy as I thought. Having read the previous log, I quickly located the hidden spot. Nice hide. Quickly signed the log book.
Thank you for the cache, Bushwalker53.

Came back to have another attempt. Success, but why was this so difficult? Must have spent another 20 minutes trying to find it!
Council pruning of trees didn't help. Neither did the stacks of rocks that acted as decoys. Oh well, name is in the log .... Finally!
Felt like a winner, so left a winners medal for the next geokid.

I was hoping for a quick find before an appointment, but I was out of luck. I'll have to try again next time I'm in the area. TFTC.
Found late at night with the car park completely empty, while in the area to pick up a Wherigo stage. Nearly conceded on this one, convinced that the cache was under a recently fallen branch that wasn't moving, but just as I was about to walk away my torch brushed across a possible hiding spot I had not noticed before and shortly after the cache was in hand. TFTC Bushwalker53!
I'm embarrassed to say that despite the size of this one, I couldn't find it. Turned over loads of rocks, looked in lots of trees but no banana. I refused to turn over the underwear. If the cache is under there, that's a cruel hide!
Adelaide trip September 2015. I spend five days driving to Adelaide taking some more remote routes across the river land area and exploring new places along the way. Day 11. Today was supposed to be a suburban caching day, and it started out that way, then I was tempted back onto the tram wherigo wasting more time reaching a dead end I was not able to crack. Otherwise I was able to get a few more city caches as well as a few suburban ones.
Thanks.

We dropped our son off at Defence Recruiting for his induction into the Navy. we had a couple of hours to kill while he did all the paperwork, before we had to be back for his induction ceremony so thought we would grab a few caches! This was a relatively quick find and luckily it wasn't raining as we weren't really dressed for caching!! . TFTC

In town to get my lad to his uni exams. A couple of hours to cache. One last one before heading back to Wayville. This is a busy station but nobody seemed to paying me any attention. Luckily it wasn't raining. and a quick dry search turned up the cache. Thanks Bushwalker53
Took about 5mins, then I read the description properly, after that went straight to it, pretty much where I'd already looked . TFTC
Although there were many cars in the vicinity of GZ, they were all resting as their drivers were elsewhere. That made for an easy search which led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53.
A quick find to fill another gap in the calendar. TFTC (found with Alex-thesquirrel)

we SCOTT this one easily, tftc #geocahcingislife #iliveforgeocaching #fridayfunday
It turned out to be a pleasant bike ride through the rail-side parklands to reach the other end of the station
Nobody around either, which seemed odd !!
My search for the cache was quickly rewarded with a find.
A good thing too,
as the smell down there was a bit whiffy

Had to wait for two trains and the departing muggles to cllear before a quick find TFTC
Picked up my first travel bug! Will move him to a golf course somewhere if I get the chance.

Dropped off a TB here after doing a bit of afternoon caching. I picked up the nice looking coin cachers path tag while I was at it! Happy caching!

Nice quick find on my morning geocaching walk around the burbs. Nice hide, thanks BW53.
Find #315
Flying visit to SA on a trip to watch the Friday night footy at the magnificent Adelaide Oval. Stayed overnight in Mitcham and puzzled my hosts by talking an early Saturday morning stroll in the clear chilly weather (before talking them into trying geocaching on my return). Found 4 out of 5 that I attempted but a good concentration in the area so a productive 1 hour walk. No problems with this one having read the description (Yep, that helps!) and after a brief search the cache was in hand without my shoes getting too wet. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53. As I put on all my Adelaide logs this weekend - Go Hawks!

Sort of "on the way to work" today. I drive home this way, but I'm usually too late to stop for caches. Eventually engaged my brain and looked on the other side.
Left a pencil and a couple of colourful animal-shaped novelty eraser things.
