Like everyone else I didn't find this.

Why hasn't the owner archived the location?
 
14-Jun-10
This hasn't been there for ages and the owner hasn't made any effort to correct the situation.
 
14-Jun-10
Missing in action

Logs over the past year make it clear that this one needs to be archived please. Smile
 
26-Apr-10
Stopped to search for this one today, before realising that it is long gone. JH doesn't cache anymore, so this one needs to be archived, as it won't be replaced.
 
21-Feb-10
A no go for us today.
As it appears to have been muggled .
Owner may need to check as not sighted for a long while.
Great spot however ,and enjoyed taking photo's of the slithery creatures wrapped around the trees.
A pity the cache seems to have gone.
 
15-Jan-10
I think this was missing. Th clue pointed me towards a good hiding spot, but it was empty.
 
15-Jan-10
Pretty sure we were in the right spot but no sign of a cache.
 
29-Nov-09
A no find at this location again. Looks like we might need some confirmation from the owners if this cache is still here. We had the spot, I even got the torch out to check every nook & crevice, but no luck. I could see a couple of good possible hiding spots but no cache Sad

ranger 14 travel bug is only on the property for the weekend and would love to be dicovered.
 
30-Aug-09
Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. Seen this come up as we went past and thought we might have been luckiers than others. Wont bother with a cross lotto ticket tonight , not that lucky.
 
16-Jul-09
Explored the area with the Geo-kids, with no luck today. The hint pointed to an obvious location, but, like others before us, the cache was nowhere to be found.
 
09-Jul-09
Not to be found today.
 
05-Jul-09
Sorry, wasn't able to visit this one this time, might be going through in a couple weeks...
 
05-Jul-09
We're passing through here this afternoon. We'll check again (we were here late May and didn't find it either, or log the DNF...).

We'll drop an equivalent sized container with log book and leave a note once we do, providing we don't get muggled!
 
14-Apr-09
[Checked] whether its a boy or girl [but no cache to be found]
 
11-Apr-09
Looked everywhere, posing as a photographer, I took images of around the area, so muggles wouldn't be suspicious. Had a good look around the Croc, but no cache to be seen.

This was my First cache for the day.
 
02-Apr-09
Our first DNF for the trip. We looked in a wide range of places before decoding the hint, it pointed to where we had looked before but we tried again with no luck. Hope it is just us and the cache is still there.
 
25-Jan-09
Crikey what a great spot, a new pit stop on the way to the mallee! Thanks.
 
23-Jan-09
Two thousand yellow-clad cyclist stood by as I did the deed on this one. Not one of thjem noticed.
 
12-Jan-09
Found it. cool stop to stop.
 
10-Jan-09
A quick drive by find. Well as quick as you can be with two kids in the car anyway.

06-Jan-09
Quickly found. I remember coming here as a kid. TFTC
 
04-Jan-09
This one needs a new log book, TFTC Smile
 
23-Dec-08
Had a giggle at hint. SL
 
22-Dec-08

Spitting distance from our family accommodation while visiting SA, a good easy find to introduce the family into Geocaching , with everyone wanting a GPS on their X-mas list to join in the fun.

On doing a quick drive-by, we could see straight away the reason for the cache name. That made it fairly easy to get to. Can't say I've ever noticed all these wooden animals before. TFTC.
 
10-Sep-08
Cache was sitting on the ground. Placed where I thought it should be. Thanks
 
03-Aug-08
Found the cache after spending the day at a chicken show. Crikey it was good!! Thanks for the cache JackHenry.
 
Lots of muggles. It was the SA rally service area. Pretended to be a rev-head to get close to the cache. Good cache but the log book is now more paper mache than log book. Needs a new log book after the winter rains.

TFTC.

Found this one while on a tour of the Barossa Valley. TFTC and nice hide!
 
09-Jun-08
Driven through this town before and never noticed the 'locals'. Thanks Jack Henry for a quick find on this our last cache on the way home from the CCC event. TNLNSL.
 
09-Jun-08
a few people around, so a bit of sly searching around from one of the geokids found this one.....
 
15-May-08
Hi, the cache setter grabbed my Lancashire Geocoin from Mr Chips at the Chipper cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=eb793a26-fc30-437d-a8f2-9e8d03f08ddf in August of last year - I've asked kindly if he could move it on but have had no response from several emails. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
10-May-08
Crikey!! seemed to take ages to retrieve the cache from its hole, now I know what some vets must go through..
 
24-Mar-08
We were camping in the nearby Caravan Park after avoiding the Muggles we took a couple of tries (one was in the dark)
But Got it!

The back of the score board was more interesting. After all, when you have jumped a few crocs in your life, playing with numbers is more fun Big Grin
Thanks to the Scientist, clear skies from TeamAstro.

3rd of 14 for the day. A quick stop to see a ... by Crikey moment! Cute.
TNLNSL

The kids used to play on these once and it was a very clever hide. TFTC
 
22-Nov-07
Found at 1530. Well hidden. TNLN
 
13-Nov-07
Butterflies are delicate creatures. Did you really expect her to put her hand THERE?
Did it, found it, logged it, replaced it, hid it.
And loved the nearby snake.
 
05-Nov-07
Found at around 5.00pm GAFF1. Loved the sculptures - especially the one going up the tree. The cacghe was missed on the first pass, but then a more determined look and it was found. Thanks JackHenry.
 
31-Oct-07
Found 1735 SL TFTC.
 
30-Sep-07
Had noticed this on the map when planning the route for today, but when we arrived, there were no co-ords in the GPS. Knew where to look and it wasn't long before the cache was in hand. Interesting!
 
26-Sep-07
Crikey - I wooden want to mess with these fellas! Distracted the wildlife with a couple of imaginary raw chickens while I extracted the cache & logged my find.

Thanks for a fun cache JackHenry!
 
16-Sep-07
Brrrr!!! Surprised It wasn't this cold or this windy when we left home. It was just too cold to linger but I admired the handiwork from the car.

Thanks JackHenry.
 
Flip! it was a nice day when I left flatland. All I can say is that they breed em big up in hillbilly countryWink

Found by Mary & David at 1045. Great fun! We're just back from 8 weeks in the US and here we are heading west to Perth for a reunion. What a fascinating place. Someone around here had too much time on their hands. TNLN. Our thanks to JackHenry.
 
09-Sep-07
Interesting little "sculptures", never noticed them on a previous drive. Quick find with the hint, TNLNSL, thanks JackHenry.

"There's a crocodile. Isn't it beautiful? Now what I'm going to do, is take my cache, and jam it up its...

31-Aug-07
That's not a very nice place to shove a cache!
 
26-Aug-07

13-Aug-07
Grabbed at night as I drove back to the city.

Found as part of a big day at the rally. So much activity here no one seemed to notice what I was up to, especially when the TRD cars came in. TFTC
 
07-Aug-07
Easy find on a dark and misty night.
 
05-Aug-07
Loved the little place where it was. Interesting artwork around. TFTC

A quick stop whilst the footy was on to find this one, luckily everyone was more interested in the game then us. TNLN TFTC
 
09-Jul-07
Have seen these things whilst whizzing past before but never bothered to stop. Thanks for making us. TB Magnus visited, but he was too scared to stay. TFTC
 
08-Jul-07
Used the nearby facilities to shelter from the slight drizzle with Auzee organising lunch and a cuppa while I quickly found this one. Cheers JH
 
07-Jul-07
Spotted cache container from a few metres off. Thought that it was a bit too exposed so stuck a pine cone 'up there' to conceal it. If you thought it'd have trouble breeding beforehand, it's got buckleys now! Thanks JackHenry.
 
07-Jul-07
We were on the wrong side of the fence initally, before seeing the snakes etc.
Once again, never knew this unique park area was here.
The geosons had fun lookiing around to keep nearby muggles distracted, while I found the cache.
Absolutely amazed that this has managed to survive here so long.
TNLNSL.
Thanks JackHenry.
 
06-Jul-07
Found quickly on the way to Kapunda the back way. Sadly the Crikey unit is rotting away! (No double meaning intended!) TFTC
 
24-Jun-07
A true Steve and Bindi moment. "Crikey we got that fella alright"

 
24-Jun-07
Wrestled our way to the cache.
I distracted the beastie with a local apple pie.
Luckily I had my daughter along with me to assist with the action.
 
14-Jun-07
I know you said this was a spur of the moment placement but I still didn't expect to find it just lying on the ground next to the beast!
Signed log & returned it to a less obvious location.
Cheers.
