I gave this a quick look a wile ago and I was muggled out. Since then the list of DNF has just grown so I have not been back for a better look.
Is the owner able to contact an Adelaide based cacher to check or replace?

Drove past the round-about and it is pretty much bare earth - council seems to have blitzed the vegetation of all the roundabouts along St Peters St. Absolutely, definitely gone.
Sorry
Sorry
Returned with a previous finder who confirmed cache missing in action, looking forward to this one being back on line after a string of DNF's
I too was misled by the sprinkler... Either it is muggled or very well concealed.. Had three of us looking today but no luck.. Maybe a check of the cache could be done..
Will try again another day..
Thanks
Will try again another day..

3 of us searched for ages. Is there a chance this one has been muggled by a council worker? We thought we found it but we actually undid a real automatic pop up sprinkler! Whoops.
Alas, no luck at all today, in more ways than one. Driving to this cache, my car broke down two roundabouts away. A restraining bolt on the engine mount snapped off. While waiting for the raa i had a hunt, but no luck. He came, ad a look, aand called a tow, so I went back again, this time knowing that the coords were off. After citoing for a while, i must have cleared every bush. Going to seek help - the camo was too good for me today.
Arrgggh! This cache has given me some grief! And trying to find it today with MtnLioness and 4 kids was hard work... stay of the road! dont move! ... talk about stress! But we found it TFTC.
Found in the company of Chillibutts and his 2 kids + my two cubs for a day out caching.
I was confused as to how this was published as being where it is there is really technically no pedestrian access.
Now trying to find this with 4 small kiddies was equally as trying, roads and cars everywhere!

Our first find. went with a garbage bag to look less obvious. It was very exciting. TFTC

Tried to attempt this in the middle of the day. After having a walk around the roundabout, and a quick look under the bushes, I was muggled out by council workers. The first of many DNFs for us today
Got this one at last /
Grumpily scratched at cover /
Then found in plain sight //
Apparent GZ /
Was ten or so metres out /
Just use your instincts //
A local muggle /
Has spotted many of us /
Put her mind at rest //
I should clarify /
Only her mind put "at rest" /
Just cache buried here

Going past very early this morning in the drizzle so it was very quiet at GZ making for a quick find. One more in the series crossed of the list. TFTC
Found this one today after attending Christmas event down the road. Nice size cache not too hard to find.

Dunno but GZ is either street-sign post, drain or street light .... Had a quick look but no luck.
Interesting to see the cache was uncovered after I had left, considering I thought I did a pretty good job of covering it with the same stuff I found it nearly covered with. Maybe there's someone playing with us! Let's all hope it stays well covered this time because it is a good location and cache. Cheers.
What's funnier than being busted sneaking in the bushes by muggles... being busted sneaking in the bushes by COUNCIL WORKERS muggles, whilst wearing a camo vest.. pretending to be a council worker!!...LOL.
Cache was exposed, but we returned and covered ti with more camo!

Found in the open . Back in same spot but covered. Put on my new cammo vest and as I was about to leave GZ a council truck went by. Howdy fellas.
Workers doing the nature strips all over the place but luckily they moved off after about 5 minutes. My GPS had me about 10m from the cache but I went where I thought it nshould be and there it was, lying in the open. TNLNSL.TFTC.
A great find on our way for an after school snack at St Peters Bakery. I didn't realize we were looking at a LTC cache - very exciting as we had already found one - now have more work ahead of us to complete the challenge!!
Slowly working my way through this series, looking forward to putting the answers together. Took me a couple of minutes to find, in between passing cars. SL. TFTC.
Fairly easy find, apart from waiting for cycling and motoring muggles to pass by.\
Lovely aroma. TNLN Thanks

This is the first cache found by James (age 3) and his Pa. James liked the spinning top so we exchanged it for a blue plastic elephant.
Found it nicely..
No muggle around here.
My mum lives just one street from here.
I grew up around here with good memories

I really don't like these exposed locations for caches...I don't do stealthy well.
If it wasn't part of a series I probably would have walked away, but I persevered and came up with the prize.

Having read a few logs I felt I was prepared to tackle this cache today after several attempts the failed due to the GPSr pointing the wrong way and muggles.
Both were ignored today. I was armed with my safety vest to make me look 'legitimate' (the cycling shorts would have given the rouse away though). Following the geo-trails I slowly worked through and eliminted possiblities until the cache was in hand.
This was the final of the Q&A series, now to put it all together and have a go at locating final cache.
Thanks Team Langley

We were in the right spot and knew it was there somewhere but alas, the dark crept upon us before we found it. Had to leave Adelaide the next morning so feeling very frustrated, especially now, having seen the photos in the gallery, so close yet so far!
This took a few tries, after work seems to be a busy time around here. But lazy weekends are perfect and we made the find straight away! TFTC
Nice bike ride down to the CZ under the stealth of night. Spent a good 10min searching but finally found it only to come home stinking of rosemary! Needs new log book. TFTC.
GPS missed it by lots but clue made me look in other places It was the Muggles garbage day Muggle Mum and baby showed up and stood no more than 5 meters from CZ and stayed there for an hour well it may have been 20 mins Dad was garbo thank goodness he had more bins to get TYTC took nothing left lizard SL
Should've read some logs before I came out here. Either the coords or my gpsr were out a little me thinks. Thats ok, I'll get it next time I'm headed this way! Cheers.
encountered some difficultly with muggles however managed to find with some stealth
Still struggling with the answer but hope to get it soon, to find the final cache = )
Found this one on my third tour in your country.
Today one a short trip, only . [8)]

Catch a very heavy sunburn SPF 30 was not enough
Met a cacher college, have a small nice talk. Funny think was he already know the crowd

This one was sitting out in the open.
When I webnt to replace it a neighbour was watering but a careful alignment of trees and posts and he couldn't see what I was up to.
It s a little better hidden now.

First on for the day/ night on a run today of 210 caches. After some initial confusion as to where the GPSr's were pointing we soon had logic prevailing and cache in hand soon afterwards.

Coords were a little bit off, they had us looking in a storm drain also. After a rummage around we found the cache and smell a bit better too.... TY quack

The co-ords for this one had me searching a nearby storm water drain with no luck.
Decided to have a look at other options and the cache was quickly recovered.
This brungs up the 150 cache finds milestone. WOO HOO!
Didn't see the GC inside.
Cheers Quiz master and happy caching.

Found on the 3rd attempt - my first night find, at about midnight- done to avoid the constant muggle traffic that thwarted my earlier searches. This completes this fantastic LTC quest, as I found the main cache 4 days ago. TNLFSL. Thanks Team Langy and the Quiz Master
Found it.
spent 5 mins looking. but so obvious when we found it.

For a quiet saturday morning it was surprising how much traffic (car and pedestrian) went past here while we had to stand by waiting.
On a side note, we targeted this cache specifically (with a few others) to pick up some TBs/GCs to take on an upcoming trip but there were none in there (we only found 2 out of 7 caches that were supposed to have some in )

Dropped one TB to stay. Picked up the one in the cache. Dropped and retrieved several that were passing through. Coordinates seemed to be 10 meters off at least.
Found the cache at 4.30pm, with Lava12 for the day. SL. Thanks The Quiz Master for organising the cache and hunt.
Accompanied with Everlasting. It took us a while to find it but when we found it and the cache was almost exposed due to the shrub dying.
So I put the leaves on the top of it afterwards.

This little cache has proved troublesome to find in the past [:o]
I forget how many times I have spent time hanging around this location trying not to look suspicious
But today the circle aligned with the square and I found the cache almost as soon as I arrived

After a string of DNFs it was good to be able to pick this one up. Why did the traffic pick up when it was time to put it back ? Eventually it quietened down again. Thanks.

We tried to have a quick look for this last weekend, but a local muggle decided we were interesting and tailed us around the streets while we pretended to be out for a walk. No such problems after dark, though. No sign of the trackables. TFTC.
This cache was found as part of my City and surrounding suburbs invasion. Thanks to all who placed caches allowing me find nearly 200 caches in 7 days.
Found easily whilst out clearing out a couple of blots on my map
Amazingly had no one drive past whilst out there, though at 10pm at night, i guess its a bit quieter on the roads

Very easily found while dodging passing motorists - looked like someone had thrown this here from a passing car - surprised it hasn't been muggled.
TN but clues (there was no geocoin ).
Left spinning top.

My GPS pointed me a little off centre, not where it would be (or hopefully not). It was dark, and I searched around by torchlight, but after around 10 - 15 minutes without success, I headed off to the next cache empty-handed. Thanks for the cache anyway.
