Play time is over.

5th go at this one today, this one is getting to be hated.
Not there, grrr

Tried this one a year or so ago and had no luck and neither did we today. Will keep an eye on it and try again another day.

We came and we looked in between muggles coming and going at the pub...
No sight of it... Now see it is off line so maybe that is why we couldn't find it...
TFTC

YAY!! Found this one this evening after getting a tip-off from Mrs Scoobster. Even knowing where to look and it still took a few minutes. So glad to get this one off the DNF list. SL. TFTC.

Day 215 of non-stop caching!

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO finally found this nemesis of a cache!!

It is STILL THERE.... just had to search a little deeper to get it!!.. You should have seen mrs scoobsters face when everyone else had given up.. she was determined NOT to leave.. and clunk.. that wonderful sound of a cache container .. jumping up and down in excitement.. we let mrs scoobster take all the joy of finding this one!

Log book does need replacing

I would like to say .. thanks for the cache.. but it gave us so much grief... (about 6 visits - and to be honest i dont know HOW we missed it )... so we'll part ways on this one with a "CHEERS'.. thank God it's over!

Certainly couldn't find it! Looked with jb1982 but to no avail

Every time I try to check this one I get muggled out!

Taking it down until I can get there at night.

Second attempt at his and still cannot find it... Will be interested to know if it is indeed still there...

This Demands OWNER ATTENTION or at least acknowledgement that it is still indeed there!!

Come back to this one again today with a Muggle family who loves to cache just with me during DAYLIGHT and no deal!!

Does this actually still exist??
Can we please have some conformation that it IS there?
If not, it shall go on my ignore list.

Had a couple of looks, including one with Mrs HDTK and no luck at all. TFTC. Went to the pub after the first occasion - it's one of our regular haunts anyway.

Out for a night caching raid with Paris Laura, foraged around for longer than it should have taken to no avail!
Too many leaves both green & Brown, too dark for much searching.

Had a look with the smallest of the Trio in the pram as cover. Didn't find it today, will come back again and have another go now that I've read all the logs.

Not today. Will try again

Found. On the 3rd attempt... somehow we missed it before in the dark

hurray, found it at last. We looked at places that are no where near in the end. Eventually we looked at the terrain and difficulty ratings again and suddenly, it's easy and found!

Right as I rode up and looked at the last few logs (one mentioning help from the lady on the balcony) a lady stepped out on a nearby balcony. I hollered up to her "you know where the cache is don't you." She said yea, and then followed up by telling me about where to look. I tried that spot and didn't find it. I tried other spots without luck. I then went back to where she told me it was and found it. Well hidden cache. Pretty little green spot.

TFTC SL

4th and final DNF for the day, spent quite some time rooting around but nothing...

Second time back here, and undisturbed this time I came up with the cache in no time. TFTC
B

A speedy find in the first place I looked. Thanks Anja

A really lovely place. I went there with my wife and my kids. Found after 30 minutes (thanks the woman at the balcony for her help).

Too many pub muggles at the Kensi to try this one today...

Haggis.

Looked & looked but couldnt find.

Finally, finally found and how easy it was this time! TFTC

Found after a long time looking. I orginally thought that the cache was on the back fence, with no luck i tried where the GPS originally took me. Found it there.

Tried to do this one before the movies but ran out of time.
Will come back and look more later... And hope for the hints from the balcony that my fellow Canberra cachers were lucky to receive.

Started having a look around when the dog over the fence gave me away.... had to abort search!
B

Returning home in the early hours in the morning from a house fire and must be my 4th time here. All was quiet and I scratched around a few areas and finally came up trumps. I am sure I had looked there before. TFTC.

Found with linFox and rubai on our quick trip to Adelaide.

We were looking for a little while before we hear a voice calling out to us from a balcony on a nearby house "Hey, I think it's behind that tree". Oh, looks like someone has been watching many-a-geocacher searching for this one. Well he didn't really help us find it and went back inside. We searched for quite a while before finally finding it, it wasn't near the tree he specified...

Thanks, Jezzza Xtreme.

#288: 27 of 39 found with JezzzaXtreme and linFox on our geocaching trip to Adelaide.
We were searching around when someone called out from a balcony and gave us a clue as to where the cache may be. We followed his clue, but still couldn't find it. In the end he was right.

Cache #27 of 39 on our Adelaide trip with rubai and JezzzaXtreme.

As we searched, a call from an above balcony gave us a hint as to the cache's whereabouts. We might have picked the wrong tree we though he was referring to as we didn't find anything under several of them. Eventually though we chose the right one and, there it was.

Thanks!

Looked around but didn't want to search to hard as guy across the road at the pub was looking in my direction so will try again another day.

Was dying for a cold drink so I went to the pub while Dazzatron had a look for the cache... Came back and he hadnt found it so I had a look but I couldn't see it either... Lots of growth on the ground and there was a muggle over the road watching so decided to try again later... TFTC

Nice little park. A kindy kid and mum left as I was searching.
GPS'r had me walking all over the place here. Eventually found it.

The Gangsters (The Rats, Big Matt & Shell, Farmer Frentzen and Steeba) found this cache as part of our record breaking run around Adelaide. Lucky we had a vertically challenged cacher with us.
Thanks for being part of the hunt.

2901.


Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, The Rats and Steeba on our Adelaide invasion trip. This is find number 20 on the Australasian record attempt. This was our 2900th cache.

Thanks Anja for the cache.

TNLNSL

Found on an Adelaide Invasion in the company of Big Matt and Shell, The Rats and Steeba on our 24hr record caching run. TFTC.

Found on Adelaide Invasion trip with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Farmer Frentzen.

I had previously DNF'd this one but with multiple eyes in the darkness we got it. TFTC!

Found on the Keeping Ahead Tour 2009.
a quick find after a little memory prompt from the owner, which someone got confused with another cache....
thanks

Hmmm.
I needed a phone the owner on this one as yes the sat loc was out.
After hanging up the phone I then had the cache found within 10 seconds.
Funny thing satelites. Maybe they just didn't like me today.

TFTC

Sat loc can be very flaky here, which might explain why it was so far out. I will try and get another reading sometime soon.

After reading some logs we returned today and found the cache about 8m off. was a bit exposed so that made the search a bit easier. Thx anja for the cache.

3rd attempt at this one. Now that I've found it, I couldn't believe I hadn't before.
TFTC, yet another anya cache tracked down.

searched everywhere and didnt find the cache but i did find part of the log sheet.
called the postie girl looked exactly where it should have been not there think it may have been muggled

Spent a while serching for this one with no joy. Its either harder than a 1/1 or its walked. Will wait and see TFTC

Very Fun and clever one to find

[This entry was edited by Sunny Bunny on Monday, September 28, 2009 at 6:40:02 PM.]

Second attempt at this one, this time with extra help.
Still couldn't find anything.

I'm sure a difficulty level of 1 is wrong if it is this hard. There was too much vegetation to have a proper search. Maybe only during the summer time.

Couldn't find this one, too much vegetation at the moment.
Maybe this one needs a check up??

Spent a good hour looking for this one all to no avail. I think I need a hint.

If I logged all the DNF's I have really had on this cache I would have already reached my milestone LOL Luckily I brought 3 previous finders with me in the dark of night but what you know they couldn't find ! But PG did ! Woohoo glad to never see this cache again ! TFTC

Was a bit too wet to find this one

No muggle problems for me.
TFTC

Gave this one 2 tries.

First time someone was sitting in the park talking to himself, didn't even get out of the car.

Second time park was clear but there was someone outside the pub watching me.

Didn't spend too long because as well as being watched I HATE Ivy.

The dog next door was going birko as I kicked and prodded for this one. His owner wasnt impressed, and roused on it, so I grabbed and headed back to the bike to do the log. Unfortunately it meant stirring him back up again to replace it.

We made a quick getaway after signing at 1615 hrs.

Cheers
Bundy

Kids playing across the park, lots of leaves, but I found it before any one came to complain. Thanks.

Enjoyed a couple of cold ones in the building across the road last night. A pleasant relief from the heat.

Found on a caching day out with 5Grains

Had a couple of heart stopping moments as a muggle walked through the park. Found on our Adelaide caching morning with the BLT Burger.
TFTC

TFTC This one took us a while to find and we were getting very frustrated with the barking dog next door but found eventually.

NEEDS NEW LOG PAPER! sorry, didn't have any on us. squeezed our log in on paper but good luck to next GC'er! t:frog l:eraser

Another one that I failed to find last time that I got quickly this time - took about 20 seconds! Thanks dylanja.

We had to be careful finding this so as to avoid interest from the smokers outside the nearby pub, but it wasn't a problem. TFTC.

Found with JadedOptimist08
on our forget work lets go Caching instead day
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.

Cache 42 of 62 for our big day out. TNLN TFTC

Will log this DNF- I'm sure it is there somewhere but after a good look I couldn't see it.

My only DNF for the day - although I did find a Bananas in Pyjamas reader in all that IVY if that counts
Obviously missing from the nearby library I would say !

The allure of the pub was strong again
But not before another brief walk around the park
Found the cache this time, so had a reason to celebrate across the road this time [^]
TFTC.

I came here on a dark night a long time ago with Skippy and Parrothead. Much easier in daylight, and better satlock this time too! One of my (non-caching) friend's kids goes to this kindy. Thanks Dylanja.

Found easily at 21:30 with no-one else around. No swap was made. Thanks for the cache.

I only found this one after nearly stepping on it - cache gods smiling today because gpsr wasn't.
TFTC - TNLNSL

Beaten today .

Found on first go as a virgin cacher. Did it with Aspro,Sazza and Pats who could not find it the first time.

found on the third attempt with jules the virgin cacher. she found it too! so much for experience.
thanks,
aspro, sazza, pats and jules.

mmm. seems not too many places to hide it really. coords slightly off but looked in all likely places except the right one. will return later. [:i]

found it.. Nice little park. thanks for the cache.

Found the cache with Sevabo and PWALA. Nice park. Search for while... SL. Thanks Dylanja for organising the cache and hunt.

found it easy, thanks for the organise the cache.

Everlasting found it. TFTC

Took a couple of minutes, but once I got the gps working properly I pointed to my sister and found very quickly... Thank you

A quick haircut, then a few Dylanja caches while the girls were getting their hair done. Luckily there was no kindy on today. Cheers. MODU.

Found during 24hr cac-hunting run, Accompanied with Varuna and Mrs Snapper!!!, Everlasting as our Driver, Found 120 caches out of 137 including 17 DNFs and the missing caches. Thanks for organizing the cache and hunt.

24hr cache-hunt run by snapper!!! and varuna. The cache was found quickly and signed (sticker), before we returned to where Everlasting (Driver) was waiting in her car, to drive onto the next cache. No swaps was made. This cache was one of our 120 finds. Thanks for the cache and the spot.

A quirky little cache hunt today. On one side was the allure of the local watering hole on a hot Adelaide day. On the other side was the local kindy with lots of kids around. I searched for about 15 minutes but I really wasn't fitting in and had no idea where the cache was [:o]
Time to retreat to the pub. Only in Adelaide, a kindy opposite the pub.

I should have nipped accross the road for some tonic as I think that the effects of last weeks Yellow Fever vaccination were just starting to kick in. I pondered in the car and got out to look again and Setsujoku was writing the log. Cheers from the Posspet Boys

Is it wrong that we could have done with a drink this early in the morning?

after catching up with anja earlier in the morning, we were doing plenty of her caches through the morning

this one took about 10 mins longer than it should have. its amazing when you walk towards a location from the right way, you see an obvious spot, but a different direction can give a different feeling

Found whilst posspet was back in the car checking previous logs (he could have nipped into the kensi though, not sure!!! )

Find number 1166. A nice quick find thanks. Mr MadMyers and I managed 189 caches today while on holidays with the family from Queensland. Cheers THENANKS.

Our geo kids are well past being kindy kids - but we do remember the days when they were. Found the cache and moved onto the next one. Thanks for the reminders of a much simplier time in our lives - no netball training, no squad swimming training, no orchestra practice, no Bejing practices, no uniforms to buy!!! SL

I too had some problems with the lock on this one, and had to look in many possible spots before finding the cache.
left the TB and took a princess.

Managed to find it eventually - GPS was giving me some dodgy co-ords, geo-baby provided adequate cover although it was pretty quiet anyway. Took fridge magnet, left blue frog. TFTC

Nice quiet park. Cache quickly found. TNLN. Thanks Dylanja

Find 136 without a GPS at 12.30pm
At last I can cross this of my to do list
I was looking to hard on my previous visits
TNLNSL Thanks Dylanja

Another find. GPS led me to the wrong tree

Fairly east find

Gees this one was a bit tricky as we had a muggle watching us from the pub across the road. No problem, we started to take photos of the pub and got a couple of our team to go and stand next to the muggles whilst we took their photo. All whilst the others did the caching deed. Hehehe. Cheers Gav [1534]

Finally getting around to logging the record breaker Thanks!

Kiwi Cache Raid: #137 @ 15:18. The last of the kindy kids were heading out when we called by so had to go into stealth mode and got through OK without raising suspicions. One of the team even got a photo taken with one muggle who we thought might pose a problem - a good distraction technique! Many thanks Dylanja.,,,,,,,,,

3:18 p.m. This cache was found on our record-breaking attempt to find the most caches in a 24 hours period; we ended up finding 195 all up.

Thanks to all the cachers who placed these interesting caches in Adelaide.

I only wish we could have spent more time appreciating the locations that we visited on our whistle stop tour.

Kiwi Cache Raid: #137 @ 15:18
