First time we didn't find it turns out you just got to look harder in the weirdest spots
We found it. That’s are second today. Hidden well. Love the big spider guarding it, nice touch.
I found these caches on varioua trips around SA.
Unfortunately my GPS devise did not automayically submit the note that I recorded at the time, so I am posting a generic log instead.
Thank you for a great caching experiance. TFTC.

Back in SA for a few days after being away for a long time. We were excited to see a few “new” caches (to us) in the Mawson Lakes area.
We decided on a quick stroll before the rain and pick up a few finds.
This one was found quickly with only half the container present (we assume?) Hardest thing here was to be very stealthy with all the muggles hanging around.
TFTC apricot!

Back in SA with Team Barritts. It was decided to go on a quick pre dinner outing to pick up a few hides before the rain set in.
This was a quick find once at the GZ, loved it, TFTC aprikot!

Was meeting some others close by for some night caching and after getting a coffee I thought I would come and find this cache. A quick find when I got to GZ.
Thanks for the cache.

Log is a bit moist, and required a TOTT to retrieve from container. Found with Waffles2183, TFTC

Found with Gizmos Gang and AussieM&M on a wander around Mawson Lakes!!! Great day for it, with an enjoyable break at the Mawson Lakes pub ( where we ran in caching team Wal&Ol. Thanks for the hide!! An easy find in a busy area!!
Found it! Third time lucky!
Today I went to Oakden and Mawson Lakes for business, and found this one before I went home.
Actually, I tried this cache back on 19 December 2020, with no luck. After a few weeks, while I went back to Mawson Lakes, I tried this cache, but still cannot find cache.
However, this time, I found a useful hint in the log, and found the cache straight away.
Cache is in good condition. Signed the log book, and placed it back.
Thanks for the "Potions 101" cache series, aprikot. Now I can turn blue sad face into yellow smiley face.

Thanks aprikot for another Harry Potter themed cache. No obvious signs anyone had imbibed it recently. A quick find at GZ.
Found during a trip out to the northern suburbs to locate a few caches I was unable to find on a previous visit. Quick find today though. Thanks for the cache apricot!
Out and about with Locus cache Northstar76 and superman_22 I found it on the 9/10/20
I'd kicked around here a couple of times before and didn't find it. Today I was right on the money. TFTC

Yeah nah comrade cobber aprikot. Second visit and still not happening for me here. I am not digging through cigarette buts and sodden bark chips, nor rummaging a pencil pine. Thanks for the challenge. Maybe another time.
Oh no... another DNF [:o] (Sat 14 Nov at 13:25)
I think my "Liquid Luck" has dried up. It must have been drained outta me at the Hunting Ryan cache with those Africanized Swamp Mozzies [B)]
I looked in and under this and that and even for a cache in a buried state under the black bark matter [:o] no luck today on the cusp of arvo drinky-poos with my boss [^]
Dang! oh well, now it's time to go to BWS and get my bevvies [^]
[:x]
Thanks for the challenge anyways, aprikot

Quickly found the cache, as it was uncovered [:o)]. TNLNSL.
Hid the cache a little better before moving to the next one [^].
Thanks Aprikot.

We were looking for hints of glass and came up with the goods. No spray from the nearby water works. Just rain from above.
Thanks aprikot and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

This afternoon/evening, gridge98 and I headed north-east to around the Redwood Park area to find a few suburban geocaches. We started at Redwood Park, and ended up proceeding through Banksia Park, Golden Grove, and finally Mawson Lakes. It was a nice warm evening that felt like the first signs of spring and summer, which had us reasonably happy geocaching in the dark.
Our last round of geocaches were these *Potions 101* series this evening. Gridge98 had found all of them, but suggested due to their difficulty, it would be good to find them with some assistance. The fourth potion found, and another troubling hiding location. There must have been some slight cache creep from when gridge98 found it, but soon found the tiny sized cache container in the ground. I really think this series is a good idea, but some additional consideration to better hides may be needed. Like the other containers, it was difficult to remove the logbook, and I think the glass component of the container may soon be damaged too. Otherwise, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks aprikot for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Running early for the train this morning made the walk over to this one. Found the cache in amongst all the rubbish here. Was unable to get the log book out as it’s quite damp and needs fixing
No luck on any of the potions. A hint maybe or maybe if theyre still there which id assume they are.
Another potion found.
Alas the logsheet is damp, which means it is hard to remove without tearing...
TNLNSL
Thanks
