Multiple DNFs, including us, with SA Sewerats. Can the CO please check and replace, or archive. Shouldn't be a trad if cache is located 10m from the co-ords.

Didn't realise this was potentially gone before arriving here. Not prepared to invest based on the string of recent DNFs.
Woo hoo the stars and planets have aligned and myself, Mrs M&M and Andy C. all have the day free to go caching.
Damn and bugger. Spent a long time here without success. Even the presence of a previous finder couldn't help us. All we found was a used dog poop bag. Which begs the question. Why would you bother to use the bag to scoop it up and then throw the bag into a garden. [b)]
Could the owner please check.
Thanks for the cache

Looked around for awhile then finally phoned a previous finder friend but still no cache found
Looked for a bit but could not find it,
Did not really have a much time today

Another absolute gem of a location hidden away here
Who doesn't love a bit of Victorian Era Engineering tucked away in a random park in suburbia [^]
Cache found safe and sound in t'other place

Didn't have a lot of time today, and given the search area I had to leave this one unfound for now. Will come back another day when I have more time.
Nice park. Thanks for the hunt.
Nice park. Thanks for the hunt.
Accurate coordinates and a systematic search of the area around GZ led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks entropyharvester for the hide,
Great cache it was a long time (20 minuets) before mum found it and wouldn't tell me were it was she eventually pointed me in the right direction and I notices the little container and still won't let me hear the end of it! This is going to be the first of 4 caches today. Good work to the makers of this cache because it had us stumped! It's our 45th cache as a family and we are hoping to get to 50! TFTC
Lovely little flywheel, but given the coords are out - we failed. We did try someones suggested coordinates, but couldn't find it there either.
This morning we met with Andymules and Locus cache doing a range of caches that included Trad's, Multi's, Puzzles and we finished the evening with an event. As reported by Kaye the container is damaged. Interesting how the cache stays in place. SL TFTC
muff1 are back in town (well, almost... they do live across the border ) and so that meant a caching day was arranged
Brisal5 was too ill to join us but AnyMules came and shared the fun
I was startying to feel the effects of sushilord having shared his viral infection and so the others grabbed some caches near Norwood until I caught up with them, then AnyMules kindly drove us as I wasn't going to be a safe driver today [xx(]
We cached, attended an event and then AnyMules and Alex-thesquirrel and I found 2 more caches before calling it a night [)]
All up, I found 10 caches and attended 1 event before arriving home about 1am [)]
Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.
Those of us who had not done this cache already were automatcially headed for the biggest item around here but once we started following the GPSr we became even more confused
I had coords about 9m out today but thankfully the cache was in the first place that I put my hand on a smaller item than expected
The cache container is cracked as is the lid but the log was dry!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Had to start work at a different location this morning and needed the cache for the day. This one was on the way so made the slight detour in to make the find. Wandered over to GZ and there was nothing to be found. Widened the search area and still nothing. Hmmm. Read the hint and then spotted the logical location and wandered over and put my fingers straight on the cache. Signed log and replaced. Seeing this Massive flywheel reminds me of a story of one of these which was running at full speed and it broke its bearings. The wheel then took off carving a swathe of destruction of anything in its path. Fences, houses, vehicles, anything. It was finally found several miles away from its original location. Not sure of the veracity of this story but it sounded good. No chance of that happening to this flywheel. Gratias pro cache.
Found with 2011*turtle. We had looked for this several times without success, but today after reading previous logs we were able to find it quickly. TFTC
Thanks for the cache. Didn't have a pen so no record left. With James, Rory, Claire and Cate (6 days old).
I arrived in Adelaide late this afternoon and immediately zipped out for a walk to log some caches. This was one of the finds. Thanks for the cache.
Missed out on this one a few nights ago in the dark. No troubles today using the other coordinates in a previous log. Our last day in Australia. Hello from Calgary, Canada. TFTC.

Found during a detour on my way home from work. Second visit to this park, the first unsuccessful of course, this time I had it in seconds. Thanks for the cache entropyharvester!
Big wheels keep on turning.. Proud Mary keep on burning!! Cos were rolling, rolling, rolling on a river. Tftc sl
Out caching with Mr Scoobster. He set eyes on this one in a spot I'd already looked in. Doh! TFTC. 15/10/2015, 19:39 Find #968
I've had a go at this one before with spectacularly terrible results, initially looking on the big wheel where GZ is located since this is a trad. Tonight I was in the area and with a hint from a previous finder walked straight up and had the cache in hand. TFTC entropyharvester!
Had a very good look around all the structures, both man made and natural but coul dnot come up with anything.
I started to have a look at the wrong place I tough it will be somewhere in the big one.. but nope Boyfriend was faster and he found it ! TFTC
An excellent display in a well kept park [^] - just had to outwait the muggles before searching [8)].

Thanks Entropyharvester.

Nice hide, Accedently told my friend it was an extra large cache instead of extra small, my bad.
Took a while for me to find this one- no matter, the park is a lovely spot to spend some time. My stubborn nature paid off in the end. TFTC
That sure is one impressive massive steam engine wheel! Found the cache within a 10m radius. TFTC entropyharvester!
Night caching with the Frogs,
almost ran out of steam, then we found some
(Just a few metres that way..)

Out for a bit of a night caching run with Mattycat, lots of spiders out tonight waiting patiently for their nightly feed TFTC entropyharvester
Found on second visit. Dr Owl's new co-ordinates confirmed we had been in the right place last time, but this still took us a while to find. However we felt it had to be there. Thanx. Just noticed this is find 888.
Confused by inaccurate coordinates and a clue that is still 5 metres out, Owl completely failed to find a cache yesterday, even after half excavating the tree. Back today, armed with the information of said inaccuracy, it was a quick find in the only place left to search. Those similarly confused might find S34 56.419 E138 39.781 more helpful.
This scores a favourite from me .... interesting spot .... and a cleverly hidden prize! Thanks entrophy harvester for the hide!!
Wow, nice spot to visit & due to the public holiday we had the area to ourselves.
With the hint, CPWanderer was able to locate the cache.
Very cleverly hidden, thanks for bringing us here entrophyharvester.

Found It!
First traditional find for me in 2015! Took me a little while to find. Not on the big one...

Only time for a quick search. Muggles out and about so I had to go early without doing a good search. I'll be back. TFTC
I've driven past this impressive wheel a few times and wondered if there was an unknown cache that I had yet to solve (most likely a Zytheran one) located on the structure. My assumption was obviously wrong when I saw this one published not long ago. I think I made the obvious error and started in the wrong spot, but eventually got it sorted and spotted the hide. Nice quiet afternoon meant it was a quick sign and replace.
Thanks for another nice hide entropyharvester!
Quick stop whilst in neighbourhood.
Went straight to where hint indicated and found cache within 20 secs!
The GPSr was actually actually showing a GZ to be about 20m away. Go figure.

Yes, I came back. It took me a few minutes to find it. Tricky hide.

Mr Tardis stopped by here to grab a new cache. Quite an impressive wheel that I've not seen before. After a few minutes of searching in all the wrong places, I rechecked one of the first places I looked and found the little blighter.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache entropyharvester.

Arrived at the scene and found a muggle staring at the cache. We came over and explained geocaching then a quick replace and we were on our way. Tftc!
We've driven past here several times so tonight was a chance to stop and look at the big wheel, and then find a cache in the only place it really could be.
Driving by I saw another cacher. Nice to catch up and have a chat with Astro.

I pulled up and as found the cache.
As I was about to get back in the car, Mrs Allchin rolled up. She had been here before so we did the deed and proceeded to chat for about 15 minutes. Love these kinda mini event. She looks great!
Clear skies to entropyharvester from TeamAstro.
""Sneaky Squeakyâ„¢" Woz ere" A quick but enjoyable find. From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C
Found about 9m away. No frogs brave people or dogs spotted at the scene. Thanks entropyharvester for my lunchtime adventure.
***** FTF *****
I was looking for the cache when another team rocked up, turns out it was a visiting team from interstate. It was nice to meet bella at waggy and now there were 2 of us to look for the cache.
We looked and looked, over, under, out and around, and then expanding our search some distance we finally made the find. Phew..............and then what a lovely surprise to see that we had scored the FTF
BAW left and I was just about to depart too when Freddo arrived on the scene so I decided to watch Freddo searching. He followed the same pattern we had so I gave him a bit of a hint and he soon had it in hand.
Then braveheart17 arrived and the ritual repeated, this was becoming very deja-vu, but Freddo put him out of his misery.
TFTC entropy harvester. I have noticed a bit of a pattern with your caches & next time I hunt for one I think I'll purposefully not start right at the listed coordinates

Thought we might be in with a chance at ftf but alas there were already two there. Settled for bronze or maybe even 4th. A little dark to read the log. Great to meet the gold and silver finders. Clue may be dubious though. Seemed a little further than a 5m radius. Tftc, found with Pomoore83
Who needs a GPSr when the hint is bigger than the mighty Pahero?
Who needs a GPSr when there is nowhere else to hide anything within 5m?
Except the hint is missing another digit. Try a little further.
I missed Bella and chatted with Martina about things caching. Then watched Braveheart and the Pom do the same thing as me. In the end we took pity.
