Thank you to those for logging and those making me aware that this cache is on school grounds.
I will archive caches when I find that people have got them past the reviewing process whether it is accidentally or and intended action.
This is why it is important to read and check the Guidelines for changes every time you submit a cache and include a good description of you cache, how you have hidden it and the surrounding enviroment to avoid having your cache archived after publication.

Couldn't find a way to access this one without jumping the fence. Looks like this one is hidden on school grounds which I kinda thought wasn't allowed...

I can't even begin to describe how creepy this place is near midnight. Came here with my partner, squeezed through some locked gates and made our way along a walking trail to the oval. Once there, I was struck with the sight of a humungous teepee with an open door which I was scared someone might have been sleeping in. Carefully we tiptoed around with our torches off, making our way around to the other side of the oval
Unwilling to make a lot of noise, the search was slow in order to remain silent. Alas, no cache was found and we hightailed it back to the car, best return in the daytime for this one!
Thanks for the adventure!

Found it with CherryRose on our day out caching. Saw the groundsman and asked permission to hunt for the cache. Quite a bit of work being done and a very empty cache was found out in the open on the top of a cupboard. We put in a new log and some trinkets and replaced it down low behind the beam.

Found out with Beary Organised & little Archie. Cache not hid & empty so put in new log & some swaps., & hid behind post. TFTC TNSL

Parked on Fernwood Way and found the fence. Walked along it and found an open gate that allowed entry.
Wandered in to find an oval full of school kids. They told me where cache was and where their teacher was. Went over and introduced myself, and after getting the OK went and found cache. She was right, almost no contents. Decided against leaving a fresh log for the mini-muggles but am claiming a smilie anyway.
Thanks for the cache Poke_Adventurers

TFTC!
Great find!

Sadly no star wars cards or log book.

Took about 10mins to find so a real good one! Compass steered us in wrong direction but scrambled around to locate. Good to have a seat for quick rest!

Needs new paper. Nothing left to swap.

Took a little while to access the area but quick find once at GZ. TFTC

Little bit disappointing swaps might need some maintenance other than that good find!

It took us a little while to find a way to access the area. A gate used by some previously is now locked. Once we got to the area of the hide, both our GPS units indicated that GZ was out in the open on the grassed area - that was obviously not correct. We started to widen our search area, looking in locations consistent with the hint After about 10 minutes, the cache was located about 9m from where our GPS units thought that GZ should have been located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Poke_Adventurers for the cache.

My GZ had me on the playing field, had a good look around in some possible places but no cache was revealed before the allotted time was up.
Hopefully I'll have more luck next time.
Thanks for the hunt Poke_Adventurers

Thanks for the challenge! Access to oval a little difficult but we managed. No swaps left in cache, didn't take anything but left a swap. Kids enjoyed seeing lots of kookaburras nearby

Tricky at first but found it! It had been looted so no Star Wars treasures inside unfortunately but it still has the log sheet. We added some treasures for the next person but our Starwars item we brought along wouldn't fit sorry! Bring a small Starwars item to restock it if you're the next hunter

Leo found it and Matt and Jarrah were with him. Our 50 th find.

Cheers

Quickly located on a brief diversion from my journey to a Christmas function. Thanks Polk Adventurers for the hide!

Found by school kids many moons ago but never logged my visit.

Took niece and nephew out for their first day of caching. Nice easy find

Another great find while in the area
Thanks for setting up this cache.

Surprised the kids haven't stolen it.

Found entrance opposite #7 Fernwood Way if you aren't keen on jumping fences

After talking to a previous finder Mr frog and Mattycat made a detour with a helpful hint to make a easy find and to rub salt into the wounds our GPS was only a few meters out today unlike the other day when it had us the other side of the fence TFTC Poke_Adventurers

Another great day of caching with the Froghoppin duo.
So happy to return after a while and finally locate this one.
A few metres out from GZ but it's there after all.

Friday off for Geodad, so a morning's caching was planned. This was the first of the day, but as I walked up the bank a little boy said to me "Why are you coming into our school?" *Gulp* "Ahhhh, I'm just taking some measurements", I said as I looked down at my GPSr. The kid wandered off, and I manged to find the hide pretty quicklly. I suspect it had been found by kids as there was no log book. I had an old faded receipt in my wallet, so I scrolled my name on it and replaced the cache. Might need a replacement log book soon.

Thanks Poke Adeventurers!

We were running a little early for rehearsals in Adelaide so we decided a couple of detours along the way for a cache or two, this one we spent quite a bit of time at searching around with a GPS that just would not settle so it could be a case of cache blindness will watch for now and have ago another day till then TFTC

The hint led us astray.
Log is missing

an easy find in the dark with the kids

Thanks!

Had a bit of trouble getting in here so just jumped the fence. This was number 3 of 7 for the afternoon on this Australia Day long weekend. TNLN. Cheers.

Found this a while back with GeoFriend who lives In the area. She wasn't aware of the lovely location and thanks for bringing us here. Took a while to find the entrance but afterwards the cache was right in our hands

TFTC

The force was with us today and a quick and easy find was made.
Thanks for the cache!

Good trade. Our 6 y.o. named it the best geocache ever! Easy find for the young ones. Thanks for the hide.

Found It!
Nice little spot an a quick find after getting myself on the right side of the fence! Very quite here today...
TFTC

Nice easy find.

Saw a spot that looked like a hide should be but came up empty handed. TFTH.

As per previous logs GZ seemed to be out in the open. After much hunting on both sides of the fence finally found it. TFTC.

Had a quick look around but no luck today.
The Mattycat Empire will strike back!

Had to go to Mt Barker to get a battery checked out. By the time I got there they were closed.

No point in wasting a trip, why not cache?

Took a while to get on the right side of the fence.

TFTC

Never knew this oval existed. Quite derelict, pity it doesn't seem to be used, although the shelter shed seemed to be in quite good nick. Thanks for the cache Poke Adventures!

This one was not where I expected it to be but found it in the end. TFTC Poke adventurers

Walked through (on the path) the heritage scrub to get to the oval.
GZ today was out in the open with no place to hide anything so a search of the closest hiding spots turned up the cache.
Thanks Poke Adventurers for the hide.

No matches on the oval this arvo. It could do with a good few laps with the Victor.

Clear skies and thanks to Poke_Adventurers from TeamAstro.

After watching the daughter win her Netball Grand Final for Ironbank at Piccadilly, it was time to grab the caches around the area.

Took me a while to find a way in after jumping one fence. TFTC.

An interesting (disused ?) oval hidden out of sight of normal travel. A quick find. Thanks Poke Adventures.

Oh! Overe there! Heh, got it in the end

GPS was jumping around a bit but I found it in the end.
Took travel coin

The clue helped make it a quick find. Parked the car by the school and took a walk through the bushland to GZ. TFTC Poke Adventurers

Quick fine thankfully, given the lovely hills weather today!!
Cheers & TFTC

Nice area that I didn't even know existed.

Thanks Poke_Adventurers for the cache

Out for a run in the daylight hours as we are in Adelaide for the Cabaret festival. Let some travel bugs out for air. TFTC

Visiting Adelaide after dropping into family at Kangaroo Island. There certainly are plenty of caches around this part of the state so I will do my best in the time available to bag some and show some foreign trackables what our beautiful country is like. Wherever possible I will replace log bags and top up caches with odds and ends. Thanks for placing this cache.

Mr Tardis tried this cache late at night, found the entrance eventually (I've been here before in the daylight - but it was more of a challenge in the dark).

Eventually found the cache in the logical place. It's quite spooky and quiet here in the dark and heavy fog late at night

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Poke_Adventurers.

What a great location. Who knew it was there. Great cache. Thanks for bringing us to the unknown. Only Yoda was seen today.
