We spent ages here, and poked our hands into every possible hiding place without coming up with the cache 
Found it after a determined second effort, but fear it might me an “imposter” with no magnet present. The same cache as ttrogg going by the log 
Again trying to make up for a DNF and this one was next closest. When I saw what was to be searched I started thinking, like a bowl of petunias, "Oh no, not again". But need not have worried as was a reasonably quick find.
Thanks to DustyandDizz and gridge98 for putting this cache out here for me to find.

The search began here and after looking in all the known spots of normal hides it was revealed this was gone by a PAF, so replaced where it should be
Today with a few new caches published and a new cache published in the Barossa thought I would go for the FTF and also clean up the remains that I had left in the area. A nice day out with 35 finds
Thanks for the cache

Today, a small group headed out past Swan Reach and Loxton collecting a few geocaches. We then returned to my vehicle in Truro, and I then spent the next few hours visiting Truro, Angaston, and Nuriootpa picking up a few target geocaches, Adventure Lab Locations (waypoints), and a few others just along the way. A long day out and about in warm-ish weather.
A cool location, but after 10 min of searching this cannon, I decided to leave empty handed. I suspect the cache is still hidden away, but I didn’t want to spend any more time here searching for a D/T 2.0/1.5. I definitely did put my hand in all sorts of weird angles, but alas, no prize. Thanks anyway postiegirl06 aka. DustyandDizz for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Ok a bit longer than everyone else lol
But finally just as we were about to give up..it was found!

Found at last....YAY!!!!! We had come here once before and searched and searched but came up empty handed. This time we wanted to and determined to get this sad face turned upside down. I used a torch, searched the usual places we have found similar cache hides for 10mins. Geohubbie came and joined me....I looked high and he was on his hands and knees searching which is very tricky for him to get back up with his MND...but as I said we were determined to find this. I had noticed that the last few finders were newer to the geocaching world and may not been used to canon hides so I read down further to read some more experienced finders logs. One particular one gave me some hope.....so with geohubbie still checking out lower down I concentrated on the levels higher.....we were both sure it had to be in one of the usual places so placing our hands and arms into weird angles we continued to search......wait...wait...I think I can feel something familiar on my fingertip I told him......yes....I was right...after a bit of determination and stretching of my arm, fingers and hand manoeurving I had it.... we did a little dance once geohubbie had got off the ground and we signed it and placed it back exactly where we found it. TFTC and smiley.
This geocache is available for adoption - please contact me if you wish to own this hide.
Checked while in the Barossa yesterday and the cache is still there, it’s in its original spot and in good order.

Searched high and low in every nook and cranny we could see to put our hands in but no luck today
Decided to try for this one on my wine tour with some folks from my hostel! Unfortunately we were unsuccessful but it was fun!
It has beaten Ratbag 1 and I today. We are 100% sure it’s here; we just need to come back when we’re feeling more patient and there isn’t a muggle swarm.
Put a hole in my person, though, so that makes it a real geocaching day lol.

Up around Anguston today watching the Tour Down Under Stage 2. What a great place to visit and not too many crowds to get in your way. Picked these up while waiting for the the riders to come into town.

Will check on 6th Jan, it will be there, it always is but I’ll check just to make sure - thank you
Took the scouts to have a look for it they usually find it but no luck this time
No luck today, looked in all the usual places but came up empty handed. Will drop back another day. Tftc
Awesome hide. Took 8 sets of eyes about 10mins before it was spotted and extracted. Thanx for the cache.
We had a crack at this one after we observed a team from Brisbane having a crack while we had lunch. No luck spotting it today.
Thanks anyway DustyandDizz.

Our second attempt to find this cache. Determination in abundance after seeing a note from postiegirl06 saying the cache was definitely present. Ahhh ..... finally, cache in hand. Nice and sneaky. TFTC postiegirl06.
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Been here a few times now and no luck each time. Could the CO please have a look at this or Archive it until its been checked
Under 5 minuets, looked in the usual spot, had bend my arm in some weird places but found it anyway TFTC
Hubby & i spent a while looking while the kids played in the park, but alas, today we were not successful
When I arrived at GZ to see this one I thought... oh no! not another Cannon hide [:o] It turns out this one was found in under 5 minutes which is fast for me given my track record for these hides is usually longer [B)] I'm glad it was quick coz the cold is doing my nose, eyes and fingers in [:o] The cache and contents are all good bar the log being a wee bit damp and guess whom has ran out of Moisture-Munchers [:o)] SL at 14:45 on Sat 5 Aug 2017.

I'm not generally a fan of cannon caches but I gave this one a go. Unfortunately I found a suspiciously rusty Eclipse tin lying on the ground nearby, and a damp logbook under the cannon. I assume it belonged in the 'usual spot'; another caching trio appeared so I'm not sure where they decided to put it. It may be worth CO checking whether it is still in place.
Out with getnict and Sir_Spectre whilst in the area for an Event. Found on the route home. Played a trick on getnict.
found afer the AAArrrrrre Ye Wantin' Breakfast Mary? event with getnict and rod81w. played a trick on getnict.
I was in this location with my photography club and thought a cache should be found.
Ho no not a cannon.
But soon found and on my way.

Found with Sir_Spectre and Rod81w after travelling to nuri for the pirate event. Got on my knees and down and dirty before I saw Rod stick his hand in and retrieve cache. Open log book to find my two friends had already signed give minutes early and decided to let me keep looking !
TFTC. 3rd time lucky on this one. Found with #Bones5 on a random road trip/BBQ!
**Out and about around en route to Perth**... 
*Staying with SnappyTomCats*...
**Day 2** of my trip. Staying locally for a couple of days before heading to Ceduna and making my way over to W.A. Naturally I stopped to find a few caches along the way.
A great spot for a cache. A nice quick find too (always good).
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment postiegirl06.
Stamped log and replaced...

Owl was out for the day with Blackadders and SA Sewer Rats. They were determined to show her a good time and Owl ended up with by far the most cache finds. This was one of Owl's first DNFs, so she insisted on a quick stop. With previous DNFs she was invoking the 5 minute rule, but it turned intro a 30 second find. (At last!)
Went to the cheese shop yesterday, but to windy and cold to eat lunch in the park. Back today for a picnic on way between the wispering wall and Kupundra. Took a bit, but found the cache. The gun was quite intact compared to others. I found the range measurement dial interesting. Thanks for the cache.
Jack and I searched this thing for at least three minutes before
coming up with a minty surprise with a log book !
Yup, the toy is there
