Cache lid is missing and cache full of water

A big day out today with a total of 47 finds, all found all over the place, from Brighton in Adelaide to blanchetown through the Barossa and the back roads. Not the best day to cache with continual rain though.

Thanks for the cache

A quick cache find on the way to visiting the inlaws! A little worse for wear, so was unable to stamp the log! Cute little playground
 
28-Jun-19
I was in the area visiting my parents with [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), when we decided to detour past this traditional cache. Weigall Oval here was where I used to play T-ball and then baseball growing up every Friday evening. We would then spend the evening exploring the oval, playing chasee, or some billiards in the clubhouse etc. There used to be more tennis courts here that it now looks like they have redeveloped and removed some.

This playground on the corner of the oval has been here for some time, although again, I guess there have been evolutions of the play equipment. At GZ, we were searching for a while when I hopped the fence (the gate was locked), and instantly saw the cache on the other side. It is still magnetic, but as many before me have reported, no lid, and the logbook is in very poor shape. It wasn't even worth signing/stamping from us today, so urgently needs maintenance attention from the CO. Cheers Randomfluff.

22-Apr-19
The box is rusty and old
 
28-Feb-19
Found a bit of a log book amongst the rubbish and dried leaves. Looking for a lidless tin as mentioned but way too hot and with tractor watching on not much fun. Will put on watch list and come back another time. Nice park !
 
09-Feb-19
This is a fantastic park with a unique twist, being the trotting track! I hope the local council and residents keep the many different uses of this track, as it is a unique and interesting feature.

27-Mar-18
GPS was in middle of track and looked around the area with no luck
 
18-Mar-18
As weredunn4 said!
 
14-Mar-18
Prev logs indicate a poorly maintained cache, coords were in the middle of the track, looked around the bushes for about 5 minutes but lost interest after looking through a heap of rubbish and litter. Not a pleasant caching experience.
 
20-Feb-18
Great way to start the morning
 
14-Jan-18
Found the cache, but couldn't write in log as its in pieces.

Deserted location enabled me to hunt without looking suspicious. Log needs replacing. Had an hour to burn while a bonsai was being repotted on Anzac Highway. TFTC.
 
14-Jan-18
Log is in bits, needs replacing. Had no paper to add to cache.

Picked this one up on the way to work. Nice and quiet at 6.30am which made for peaceful searching. Soon had CIH, log signed, cache replaced and onwards to work for an on time arrival! TFTC
 
26-Oct-17
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.
 
20-Oct-17

A guy with a small child said I was too old to play on the swings. He was probably right but I am just the right age to show an interest in the ponies.

TT016 were visiting for Christmas so after I finished work today headed West to collect a few caches, taking advantage of less traffic due to the public holiday...
I was playing with my grand daughter in the playground as S-I-L hunted for the cache...he found it and we raced over to check out the spot & sign the logbook...GD was very excited...TFTC Randomfluff
 
27-Dec-16
Visiting geo nanna in Mount Barker for Christmas.
after a spot of shopping at Ikea,
and the weather calming down
we decided to get a cache or more...
geo nanna took the time to play with Miss 2 on the playground
a pass time that Miss 2 had been longing for after being unwell for the last few days.
these kinds of caches make it easier to cache with children.
thank you.
tftc!!
 
26-Nov-16
TFTC Randomfluff. Have had a couple of goes at this one. Decided to try again on my Sunday run. Due to Muggle activity I needed to develop a sudden interest in the nearby baseball practice. It worked. Log signed and returned safely
 
23-Nov-16
Having stoped at this park numerous times previously, to find to many muggles each time, i finally came by to find an empty reserve. A nice quick find was made at gz, and the log was finally signed (thankfully)

15-Nov-16
A quick stop in a quiet park with the Co ords a little out for us a find was made by the rat in a likely place. Pity there was no action today as it would have been fun to watch. Maybe a visit on a weekend in the future. TFTC
 
15-Nov-16

Mrs Rat Looked in a likely spot and came up trumps. TFTC

Find #1667

Third attempt to get there, too many muggles in the park and a night attempt in the hail made it slightly more challenging. Found next day in nice sunshine. TFTC
 
06-Jul-16
Found while on a smilie hunt just south of the airport.
Weather wasn't very nice so had the playground to myself so managed to get to the right side of the fence for a quick find.
Thanks for the cache Randomfluff
 
01-Jul-16
this is where the traffic was built up to on the way home on marion road, so to break up the drive home I turned left on the next side street and drove to the cache. lucky for me the playground was empty, quick find.
 
03-Jun-16
Day 182 of "consecutive days with finds". Cache #1282.

This afternoon, I had a job to do in Kurralta Park, and I tried this one as it was close.

Actually this was the second attempt. I've been there several months ago, but I found myself on the other side of the fence. There were too many people on the right side, so I had to give up. Today there was only one kid and one adult around that area, so I managed to find the cache without their attention.

Cache was well camouflaged, Signed the log. Interesting cache name.

Thanks for the cache, Randomfluff.
 
02-Jun-16
Walked around the track so I didnt need to enter the playground. Still had to jump the fence

Found late at night, the only time I'm prepared to come to a playground for caching these days, and took care of this one that I DNF'ed some time ago. I'm sure I would have looked there the first time I visited, but I guess not hard enough.

Actually, with minimal public lighting, this little park looks pretty creepy at night, and even more so with some minor stormy weather on they way. TFTC Randomfluff!

Quick and easy grab. No horses or footballers today. TFTC.
 
07-Aug-15
Out for a lunchtime run .... needed a find for my year calendar to fill a gap ... had been going for the nearby "Barking up the wrong tree", but there were too many 2 legged and 4 legged muggles around today..... so a further walk was required to this cache.

Fortunately the playground was empty today, and an easy find was accomplished.
