Thanks for the hide Wanderlust0701
 
28-Dec-16
If this cache is where i think it should be, i fear it may have been washed away last night after 63mm of rain! Ah well, will check next time im in Adelaide.
 
26-Dec-16
Not too difficult to see. More difficult (with flowing water) to retrieve.

Thanks for the cache Wanderlust0701. Found on 26 December 2016 at 12:25 pm. Find #3554.
 
30-Oct-16
Out caching with Dr Owl after the Halloween event. A nice easy find in the expected place TFTC 30/10/2016 4:30 pm Find #1595
 
30-Oct-16
After attending a nearby event, Owl was keen to add to the smiley total. Having met KiwiOzzie at another cache, the two joined forces. This was the expected location and KiwiOzzie volunteered to get muddy knees. (For which owl is grateful.)
 
03-Oct-16
Might've washed away in rain
 
16-Sep-16
Had a bit of spare time this afternoon and as the sun was shining I decided to go out and grab a few caches. [^]
Took a little while to suss out where the cache actually was...going from one side to the other and back again. Cache sighted from one side, then across to grab it. Big Grin
Nice to see water flowing in the creek today. Cool
Thanks for the cache Wanderlust0701. Smile

A quick find here after waiting for a break in the foot traffic! Nice little park!

09-Aug-16
This one has continuously come across my radar as a reasonably close to home, un found trad and needing a find for the day I could ignore it no longer. A short drive to gz later and I had a fair idea of were I was ment to be looking and had the cache in hand after a few seconds. A nice find on a grey afternoon.
tftc
 
22-Jul-16
We put the original back:)
 
21-Jul-16
Glad to see it is still here. The river must rage thru here sometimes. TfTC.
 
19-Jul-16
Maybe hasn't been replaced yet will try again in few days
 
18-Jul-16
About to give up but then 'ping' It was right in front of our eyes, Well camouflaged!!!!
 
18-Jul-16
We thought we had found it, But it wasn't. We found it floating down the river. We found another geocache down at the bridge. We logged that thinking it was it. Later that day we were walking in the creek when my cousin picked it up and we realised that was. it floating down the river. We are taking home the original ' I am a river' CODE: GC6A8GE to dry it out then we will put it back in its original location. Once we have put the original back at its original location. you will find 2 geocaches their.
 
26-Jun-16
Maybe the rain washed it away.

A nice easy find, even at night.

An unexpected SMS from Moneydork resulted in an unplanned caching run SurprisedCool
Within a few short hours, I'd found 17 of the 18 caches that we looked for Smile although I will conceed that Moneydork touched a few of them before me Wink
After a wet day, the night was surprisingly dry with almost no precipitation however the winter soursobs were everywhere and they were pretty darn wet Twisted especially since the sandshoes I'd thought were in my car weren't and so I ended up caching in sandals Surprised
Slippery slopes, slippery sandals and wet jeans that were heavy enough to fall down were the order of the night Wink

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

What else do you do to find a cache near a creek bed in winter but stand in the river of cold water! SurprisedWink
My sandals were already soaked so a bit more water wasn't going to make a difference.
With one of us on each side, it was a pretty quick find Smile

Saw it from metres away. Not a difficult find. Was unhidden so made it a bit less obvious.
 
03-Jun-16
Everything drenched. Needs new log book.
 
23-May-16
A little wet and muddy under foot but soon had it in hand.TFTC
 
14-May-16
I found a river, walked along a river, found a bike and a stack of fire wood in the river, walked farther to gz, found a cache but had to crawl through a puddle to get there. Wet knees isn't to bad, I have waded through a river in winter for a cache before.
 
01-May-16
We found it great work
 
25-Apr-16
Close to jome
 
22-Mar-16
Co please cheak again. Could not find
 
19-Mar-16
This was a really nice location and not just for a cache. Plenty of room to run and play, or just sit and relax Cool.
Looked all around for the cache - underneath from one end to the other, then around in the nearby trees, but without luck Sad. Looks like there's been a bit of water through here recently Razz.
We'll keep watch to see if anyone else finds it before returning again Smile.
Thanks any way Wanderlust0701.
 
19-Mar-16
Looked high and low for this one but no luck. The river has just flooded and new boards have recently been fitted to the bridge. Maybe contributing to its absence.
Cheers Wanderlust0701

Mr Tardis stopped by here for a quick cache today. A nice park I've never been to before. After a quick search I found the cache on the ground. I tucked it back into position.
