Noticed that this had been archived in the daily notifications this morning. Read log an decided this is a challenge I can't pass up.

As I have previously found this one I knew exactly where to look. Armed with my 85cm pickup tool ($5 @ Cheap as Chips) proceeded to GZ. Had to wait for a muggle to leave their car as they pulled up at the same time right next to GZ. Once muggle had left proceeded to GZ. A couple of minutes later had the cache in my possession. The bad news, there is no coin in the cache so it needs to be marked as missing.

Didn't replace the cache as it would only end up at the bottom of the hole again. What do you want me to do with it?

Found in the hands of howie_sf after his daring lunchtime retrieval

I have decided to archive this cache while deciding on how to retrieve the original from it's hidey hole.Unfortunately most things I have tried just wont cut it but rest assured I will rescue that geocoin !

I dropped in today to try and retrieve this cache but I will now need to borrow Freddo's Tree Fishing tool to get this back online ~ I would just replace but the original cache has a geocoin inside.Back online soon,thanks from PG

Found this one was one that had been on the list to get for sometime now. TFTC

Finally got this one off the books after several failed attempts... Thanks Postiegirl for the cache

Offline until I can fish it out ~ the last DNF's along with Marg and Dazz can log a find

We too could not retrieve and did not want to draw too much attention to ourselves, not sure if it is supposed to be that low? It was a great walk for us as we live nearby, so thankyou.

Team Jacob

Initially logged as did not find but have been told that we can mark as found. This was a really great location as part of the fun was to not be spotted by muggles. TFTC

Couldn't log a DNF for this cache as we DID find it. We could see it fine. The problem was, we did not have 1.5m long arms so couldn't retrieve it to sign it. We suspect that this has taken cache creep to new heights (or should that be depths). Unless we are complete numpties (which is quite possible), this is a bit more challenging to get than what we were equipped with today.

Took youngest geokid out to walk the dogs and he found the cache. TFTC

thought we were going to have trouble getting this one with a guy wandering around just by GZ. then all of a sudden he was gone and so were we with cache in hand
thanks postie girl

Spotted from the car by Tom before the GPSr could even switch on! Merry Christmas and TFTC

Nice hide in a busy place. Quick to retreive but hard to return with all the motoring muggles.

Was a bit confused at first but read a few logs and one of them gave it away. Was happy to find it as couldn't find the last cache!!

I was trying to act nonchalont while at gz when a group of 4 muggles approached from a nearby garage sale.

Are you geocaching they ask? A short discussion followed and it turns out one couple started yetserday and the couple today.

They tried to make me find it but I put on my "dumb" act and they couldn't stand it, so they gave me a big hint.

I'm not sure how the actual hint relates to this one.

#129 I notice we were the 3rd lot to find this cache today - busy spot! In all my 132 finds to date I've never run into another cacher but I guess it'll happen one day. TNLN. Thanks

On our way back to camp after having spent the day down in Adelaide Hills. Decided we best grab some tucker here, before getting back to Burra at 8pm & then start cooking to feed the troops.

A nice easy find.

TNLN. TFTC.

Found this one on my weekend tour. Weather was bad today but a geocacher don’t care [;-)]
Another new long caching day in you beautiful country. TFTC Greetings from Germany

Parked right next to it, TFTC.

Clever little hide.

Thanks postiegirl06

Cross another one off the list. Thanks postiegirl.

TNLN. TFTC. Fun cache to find.

Grabbed this cache on way home from my brothers. Took ladybug for 3 year old geogranddaughter who loved it. Had to take this to fit travel bug in. The Noodler

Wow, what a brazen hide. Adding to degree of difficulty was that we were approaching 5pm Fri afternoon and traffic was everywhere. We used the photo taking diversion/shield while we quickly located the cache. Thankyou for the hide. TNLNSL.
Cheers & TFTC!

Parked the car and were surprised at how quick and easy this cache was to find. TFTC

Thanks for the hide.

After spending a week amongst the squares in Adelaide it was a familiar sight to see another up here.
A nice easy find on a quiet early Saturday morning.
Thanks to Postiegirl

Found easy quick due heavy rain there anyway good hide.T.N.L.N

I felt I was going to be terribly exposed gettting this cache as there was plenty of traffic passing. However after a few minutes of observation I could see that everybody was interested in getting around the square and wouldn't take too much notice of me rooting around.

Cache safely returned complete with a signed log book.

Found it clue was a bit out but anywayz

Quickly and easily found whilst out on the pushies. TNLN, TFTC.

Found after my son's football match at Willaston.
Improved the camo, as the last log was from a muggle, with unkind words about us, but in very neat writing.

A quick find as the camo was visible from the car! Another great little spot PG, thanks for the cache. Took marble left pathtag. Cache #416.

easy find but hard to get it as mobile muggles on foot and wheels, had to make a quick grab and wait a while to be able to put it safely in it's nest.
excellent hide thanks to nature.

Coin dip

A quick find on the way to Mallala for some motor racing. TFTC

Great to find one of PostieGirl's caches so soon after meeting her.

Thanks PostieGirl for the cache.

Took TB - will move it on ASAP. Left Tinkerbell Hair clip. Signed log. TFTC.

Quick grab on my way home... left TB, took a few marbles out to make room. Cheers & TFTC!

Nice easy find as the lid of the container was visible from the middle of the road.
TNLNSL Made sure it was properly concealed.

Found by Mr 4evermore. We see how this one can throw people off. Trust your GPS. Hurry up Mrs 4evermore. TFTC TNLN

pkhearn found it with the help of geofamily, nice hide

Found it second time around; lick_skittles has a keen eye for the colour blue. The clue lied to us! Luckily GPS is a bit more reliable. Took gecko, left a green marble.

Found it nice and easy on the way home after visiting my daughter.
Thanks postiegirl06 for the cache.

Found with polkys quest. good cache

Found with angel_bubi on our "gidday gawler" day out! This was one of 12 found today. TNLN TFTC

Not where I thought so trusted the GPS. T rubber L gecko TFTC

Found by "Gawler Trawlers" team minus the kids and dog. Borrowed a GPS to find it and put us quite near it. We have previously searched just using a map but didn't see it. And as my partner is taller he found it. TNSL Left x 2 marbles.

Good spot! Relatively easy find; TFTC. TNLN.

Nice easy find with Mouse 1.

Found quite quickly lovelly square TNLN TFTC

Found with emma_josh. Attempted this one yesterday this time believing in the GPS! TFTC

Initially, I decided to ignore the GPS and go with the clue, until it became apparent that the clue was slightly misleading. Walked back to GPS GZ and immediately spotted the hiding place. Then I had to wait for car after car after car, using the 'I'm on the mobile phone' camo technique to avoid interest, in order to retrieve the cache without being seen so I could sign the log. TFTC.

well disguised!
t: TB
l: magnet from Goos Island just down the road

Easy once I believed the GPS. Had just the right size TB to fit in there. Welcome to your new home Gecks.

Replaced and all ready to go

I will be replacing this cache around 4pm on 8/11/08

Don't like to log DNF's but we have been past a couple of times now. Has the new one been placed there yet?

Went past twice to replace this one today but due to the funeral taking place closeby every car park was taken along with the place being populated like Rundle Mall ! Will try again shopping day next Wednesday ... postiegirl06

Called in to check this one yesterday to find it gone
Offline until further notice ... postiegirl06

Rocky Glen Grommets found this after checking out a few other possible sites first - a good hide - thanks Postie Girl - enjoyed it!

Father and daughter caching day in Adelaide. Started at Gawler and finished in Salisbury.

Find 6 of 17 for the day.

Found earlier in the day, but due to presence of muggles had to return later to retrieve. The cache was in the open. When we returned, we put it at a slightly lower altitude and camouflaged.

Took Rubber
Left Clip

Couldn't miss this one. It was out in the open. It was in full view and the box wasn't even closed. We re-hid and covered it up safely. Thanks for the piece of history Postiegirl. ..eatmorchickin and Stigglepot from Brisbane (down for the RFDS charity ball tomorrow night).

Tricky that its not where we thought it would be but once we actually followed the GPS we found it with ease!!
Thanks

Found the cache at 4pm. Lovely garden. SL. Thanks postiegirl06 for organising the cache and hunt.

My 11yo son was helping me and said "Think outside the square, dad"- nice lot of marbles still here. Is Col Light looking for these to the east? TFTC

Found this one easily, didnt have any marbles so left a round puffy sticker..and a small rock.

Ok spot for the hide but a bit to easy.
Marbles were funny and learnt some interesting history about our new home town.Took donkey left Frog.

The Jones Clan

Had to have two go's at this one, as the first time there was a muggle parked right there sitting in the car reading the paper. Spotted it at the first attempt, and came back to retrieve it after lunch. TFTC T marble L marble.

Well the lady in the car looked confused when i walked pass her in a round about way. Left this one cos she was right there we could see it but we couldn't get it. When we return it was in our hot little hands

Found easily after getting the right GZ!
TNLN, thanks postiegirl06
Swampy

A few steps from the car- an easy find. I guess if they were all like that it would be a boring activity, but one every now and then is very gratifying. Took a marble and left a deer. TFTC

Nice view of the square. The ANZAC ceremony is held here by Gawler each year.

A nice hide with not too many muggles considering how many people were in Gawler on Saturday. Thanks Postiegirl

Nice and easy-almost a reach from the car!
No swaps. TFTC.

Yes nice easy find almost had to think outside the square
Plenty of Muggles about though.
Took marble left Blue Stone

Parked right next to this one. If my arms were longer I would not have needed to get out of the car.

The streets were quiet and deserted as we walked across the square. It seemed as though everyone had gone to bed early to recover from the New years celebrations the night before. Found the cache easily and signed the log book while the kids did the usual of having to look at everything that was in the cache.
It was only as Pa Kettle parked the car to pick us up, that he noticed two muggles on the other side of the stone fence, sitting on top of their car bonnet. We think we had been watched the entire time - they must have wondered what on earth we were doing. hopped in the car and made a hasty exit! TFTC

This was our first geo caching find with my son bailey, the first of many we hope! We left some 5 cent coins, thanks postie girl

27/12/07 11.40am Team:A Day 57 of our big November Challenge
Parked, got out prepared for a walk, and HWML1 said... err...it's right here, was the only park in the square and we pulled up right by the cache, now that's what we call a drive by! Left a green Die so the marbles can work out who goes first, and took a marble. TFTC SL

Lots of character in these lovely old buildings. Hope they keep getting renovated. Thanks postiegirl06

son Aaron found cache GPS took him straight to the cache, drive past that spot every day had no idea at all

TNLN

Quick find which was nice after a frustrating dnf on a previous cache.
thanks postiegirl

Nice Location

Fopund at 1220. Nice easy find. TNLN

Found it quickly but would have even been quicker if I watched the GPS instead of all the intersting things in the square. Walked past it and then had to come back to it.
Swapped two blue marbles for green marbles
Thanks
Moses on the move

My gps was mucking around a bit today. So I was there for a fair while. Some passers-by looked at me a bit strange. I think they thought I was going to do something to the cars parked nearby. Eventually found it. Clever spot.
