I found this one easily enough. I had no idea it was to be archived as it was still showing up on GSAK when I left Melbourne.
Thanks to team baggygreens.

As the last finder, and nearby resident, I decided to check it out. It took me several attempts to find it for the first time, and several minutes of poking around to find it again. It's not an obvious spot, but it is there.

Even with a pair of eyes which had found this before, I still didn't find this one. Do you think there are enough DNFs on this now to warrant an inspection?
Had a good hunt around here. It was very quiet. Could not see it. Always hard to get a park on the main road.... but Sunday was cool Rekon it could be worth the owner confirming that it is still here.
Clear skies, TeamAstro.
Far out! Damn good hiding place! Don't have a clue where it is! Is it actually a room, or is that a figure of speech? Cause I don't know how to get underground if it's in a tunnel or something like that.
Accompanied with Everlasting and Joan. With three pairs of eyes, We could not find it. Or we need to test our eyes????
Found a round spot too...had a good poke about, but got no love. is it chuck norris? ( MIA?)

No luck here, me and the GeoCousins found a room that was kinda round, but there was no cache to be seen. Hope it's still about and we just missed it!
This is one of the first caches I set out to find, being only a short walk from home but alas, no joy. Not to be discouraged, I went on to find many others. After a few more attempts at this one, I finally found the bugger, against the odds at 3am, with only a few cars going by. TNLNSL
This one took a little while to find but I got it in the end.
There is a lot of traffic around here, I wonder if anyone was watching?
TNLN, thanks Team BaggyGreens.

One wonders just how we missed it first time around, oh well thats caching for you.

took a long time to get out of the damn room lol - ATG cut his leg so there may be a blood trail to follow too! TNLN thanks for the cache Saucehead ATG and LTWGK
Found this one on the golden path... That's another stage of Zork solved, and another step closer to the end game... if I could only work out these damn clues! None of the Zork treasures here today.

Found this one a long time ago when it was in another position. Had to drop off a zork coin today so decided to go find it in the new location. Cheers. MODU.
A nice quick dash off the roadside to find the cache and onto the next. Tick tock. No pressure Cheers Gav [1565]
Kiwi Cache Raid: #168 @ 19:42. Not quite sure what the round room refers to but found the cache OK anyway once we found somewhere to park. Many thanks Team BaggyGreens.,,,,,,,,,
7:42 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.

Those bushes are alive! Scared me half to death walking past, and made for a very tentative cache search. Took Sharpe the Dragon TB, left Perfect Pint TB. TFTC
Took some getting to. Yep its in there, now how do you reckon we can get behind there Mr Elf? You don't fancy walking, ok lets drive a bit! ...and a bit...and a bit!
Took TBs and left Sharpe the Dragon, whose history is interesting as has escaped a bush fire!
Hope your seeking is Muggle free!

Found this in the pouring rain. No muggles watching us. Can't remember what we did here (other than find it)
Well we finally got this one!
After a couple of attempts at the original location we attempted this one again shortly after it was moved but that was in the dark. This time we were in the area in daylight, and it was much easier to find.
We took a note of the Coin but TNLNSL.

After working out the rabbit warren of roads and parking it was a quick find after a short but pleasant amble.
To my surprise I found two Zork coins (which I'll check into here).
Grabbed the clues, but otherwise TNLN.
My first cache for the Zork series (and yet another series I've started with out finishing any others).

Found by Mary & David at 1625. We needed a bit of imagination to fit this area to the description, but we got there. Mind your head on the low ceiling - David got a nasty bump on the head. TNLN. Our thanks to Team BaggyGreens.
Came here from the back streets, quick find whilst dodging vehicle onlookers waiting at traffic lights. TFTC
So much easier to find in the day, i spent and hour looking for this one on Saturday night. Took frog, left bubbles!
Found at 1440 after a bit of a search as the GPSr was bouncing around a bit today. So after we backed off then reapproached we found the cache. TN left geofrog signed log whilst watching the traffic rush by. Thanks Baggies.
A plesant afternoon caching, but alas need to go home for little ones bed time. TNLN Thanks Tean BaggyGreens.
Simple find once you get a park I did park 20m from the cache originally but thought I had better do the right thing and drive around the corner....

Round and round I went. Eventually found in the most logical place. Busy out there is'nt it.
Having gotten past the troll (several times now) it was only a matter of time before I stumbled into the round room.
Got it today. My what a difference daylight makes. Must have gone east instead of west this time.

Its much easier to find when you look in the right spot
Kind of makes sense I suppose!
Left the Ivory Pegasus & Emerald Gnome coins both here [^]

Stopped and looked in the fading light but no joy for me.
Found lots of geotracks.
Maybe the thief had made off with it.

We are not having much luck with this one. A DNF at the first location and now another one tonight. After crawling around in the dark for half an hour trying not to be to visible to all the traffic nearby, all we managed to get was a poke in the eye from a twig. We were hoping to drop off a couple of the coins here but now will have to find another of the caches tomorrow.
I spent some time feeling very exposed while looking for this cache. Now hat I have returned home I find that I must have been looking at the wrong coordinates
Moral to self: always check the notes you printed out a couple days ago are still valid!
I will return

An annoying place to try to find your way in but I did get there. (NW corner of Taylor St. for a park)
Gave up after 20 minutes of looking for the cache, going around and around and then it got a too dark to really see.

Maxim Court looks to be the best approach that we can see which leaves a walk of about 150 meters approx. Will confirm that tomorrow.
Drove past on the way to the market and there was nobody there, but on the way back the Stanleys were just crossing walking up to it so we decided to stop and have another go. Mr Stanley found it after a short look and we piggy backed on their find. Cheers. MODU.
FTF @ 8am I think, it didn't take long to find in the day light
Took the santa Geocoin

(This will be moving soon, as pedestrians aren't actually allowed to access roundabouts unless there's a footpath specifically provided. I didn't want to hold up the series, but the Baggys are looking for a new room now...)
Updating the coordinates to a new spot but will need to await Reviewer aprroval.
** Coordinates Changed From **
S 34° 49.777 E 138° 39.714
Distance From Old: 7621.3 feet
All I said was "My GPS plugh is loose" and we ended up here!

So I drove aROUND and aROUND and aROUND looking aROUND for a new spot, I found something ROUND but no suitably ROUND hidey holes. So I choose this spot which isn't ROUND but the cache is ROUND and that's all that matters when you get aROUND to finding it...Isn't it?
Were fossicking around in the bushes when we saw a couple of geocachers approaching us. Ah, its Modu! Chatted and looked until eventually Mr S found it where we had all looked before.
Happy to claim the silver. Took the Multihued map geocoin from here although it is not logged in here. One to go.

I can see the geotrails already, a new home might be a good idea. Left the Exquisite Aquarium coin here, unluckily no other coins to be had. Might as well have been eaten by a grue. Cheers.
Turned up to look for this one to find the kettles crawling all over the round room so I joined in the search but it for the second time tonight I was zorked. After my time expirred I left the kettles to it and decided to make another try another day. MODU.
On a high after a FTF at Land Of The Dead we headed directly to this one in anticipation of a second ftf. Shortly after arriving MODU joined us and together we searched all the passages whilst all the muggle traffic tooted and yelled at us as they passed by. In the end we had to give up in frustration. We might have to try again in daylight but for now it was after 8.30pm and some of the team still needed to eat tea and get to bed.
I must have just mnissed the other 2 teams, I had no luck here either.
I'll be back in the morning, lets make it 8am [|)]

Actually, I'd suggest 3am, as the lady (who must live nearby) who came out and asked if all was ok and what were we doing, should be in bed asleep.
Spun her a yarn about a young son who had lost a ball here earlier in the day and had gone to bed sobbing, so I had to come and look for it.
