This one had me confused initially as the coordinates appeared to be inside the building...but then a read of previous logs and the updated coordinates resulted in a find. Tftc
Finally found this cache after three visits and some immense searching efforts. Even with using the alternative (correct) coordinates, I still had trouble locating it until today. I guess it is in a much deeper spot than where I had already looked. Used the hint in the description, and some velcro still remains of what must have been the previous cache spot. The current cache is nearby to thus position.
As previous loggers have mentioned, coordinates need updating. Also, this logbook is nearly full - I suspect it has room for only a couple more names, cheers.

Coordinates need updating as per previous logs, and logbook should probably look at getting replaced.
The magnet is coming off, so probably needs some glue to reinforce the cache to this.

YAY! My 3rd time lucky visit! TFTC Just need to go watch some Channel 2 now and I think I am done for all of the original free to air stations..
Hmm, after trying to approach the listed coordinates from two angles, I read logs and realised that S 34 55.672, E 138 36.778 is the correct coordinates. This cache really requires an update on this and the magnet has detached from the back. TFTC.
Using the coordinates provided in one of the logs and some other information gleaned from the same and other logs, we were able to make a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Flipper&Co for the cache.
I remember trying to find this one a while ago and being the opposite side... found this one on a wet and wild run in the city. Thanks for the hide- used the accurate coordinates published below - so thank you muchly.
Found this while in the area at a doctors appointment.... it took us a little bit of searching but luckily the weather wasn't great so the muggles were low in numbers or more interested in staying dry..... signed and returned..... TFTC
Some time ago we replaced this and updated the location. Quite a few people have used these coords to find this one but this means our note has slipped further down the log list and is easy to miss. So we are redoing it now to remind people of the cordinates to use.
Perhaps the CO could update the posted coords please?
Use coordinates: S 34 55.672, E 138 36.778
The cache is a grey magnetic key holder. It is low down, out of the weather and easily reachable from the footpath.

Out doing some caching with Hevwalker and Phoenix Flare today.
I had looked for this before but had ended up on the other side of the building[?]
Some better coordinates helped and it was good to make a quick find today.

Decided on some city caching on a lovely Good Friday. Found out hevwalker and ismartis were planning the same so we banded together.
Found with the improved coordinates in one of the comments. Thanks FLIPPER&CO

No luck with a good search around from Wakefield Street. Getting confused with old and new information.
After looking for this one unsuccessfully a few times where the coordinates pointed, I read through the logs and was pleased to see some updated coordinates quite a distance from those posted. [?]
Tonight after a nearby event I stopped off here with a few other attendees to finally get this one of my list.
Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO.

found after the G'day from WA event with a few others. Tried looking for it before but no luck. this time with updated co ords, it was found.
**Out and about cleaning up some caches with getnict , JJ52 and sir_spectre**...
*Found after attending the G'day from WA Event*
Great company and we shared many stories and laughs throughout the day... Didn't take JJ52 too long to make the find...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment FLIPPER&CO... Appreciate your efforts...
Stamped log and returned as found...

On my way into the Clipsal today. I had checked out other logs and used the previous co-ordinates to make the find her. The GZ was on the other side of the fencing and fortunately this is the gate I had to go through and having the right credentials, nipped around the fencing to make the find. TFTC FLIPPER&CO
Woohoo! After so many attempts, I read past logs last night and discovered logs that mentioned updated coordinate and hints; shame they haven't been updated in the listing. Thanks for the hide; what a relief to see a smiley on the map at this location.
I think I must have DNFed this 4 consecutive TDU's in a row. Another sad face here this evening.
Had trouble with coordinates here tonight with Wal & Ol. After widening our search, scratching our heads and then double checking, Wal put his hand on it. TFTC!
Tricky find while out for the evening with Pony1966. Original co-ords had us way off, used B&J's updated co-ords, then a broad interpretation of the "grey skirt", and got there in the end. TFTC
We can attribute the finding of this cache to the co-ords submitted by Brad & Janet, thankyou. We have watched this cache over the years and decided that as it was been found regularly we would give it a go today. The cache container was found in the first place we looked, yippee. SL TFTC
TFTC. Much easier to grab on a Saturday afternoon. Fenix took me to exactly the right spot with the correct coordinates
DNF'd this one some months back due to off co-ords... no such bad-luck this time [^] Thanks to the updated co-ords it was a quick find with Stealth-Level at Hi-Intensity The ol' Rideable Geo-Tool did the trick, yet again A nice hide. TFTC, FLIPPER&CO
As Brad&Janet's log recommends - use coordinates: S 34 55.6722, E 138 36.7783 - on Wakefield St - The cache "..is a grey magnetic key holder. It is low down, out of the weather and easily reachable from the footpath".
I had been at work when the massive storm hit South Australia, which resulted in a statewide blackout [xx(]
So as I left work early (needed to walk as a cab was out of the question given the situation of no power including no traffic lights etc. ), I walked past GZ and made a quick find, thanks to the updated coordinates and reading Brad & Janet's log/info (which I copied and pasted above).
Great cache, thanks FLIPPER&CO

No luck for me today. A bit confused about which is the new and old info. I'll try again another time.
Found this replacement cache with the new coordinates and descriptions. I think I found where the old cache would have been before making the find today.
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
FINALLY!!!! Been watching this one for ages as it is the last un-found traditional that is within 500m of work. I walk past here often, either on the way to other caches, or just for the lunchtime walk, and have regularly checked the location after working out that the listed coords were drastically wrong and trusting the caching instincts for a real location. Then I gave up looking, well almost... Finding caches took me in the opposite direction for a while, but occasionally I would check on this to see what had happened. Then I saw it was back online. YAY. Visited at lunchtime the other day, but as always, it was muggle central, so abandoned the attempt. This morning, cache for the day required and was heading into work very early so this was on the radar. Arrived just before 7 and much to my dismay it was still muggle central, with people in exercise gear, some with dogs, so I presumed that this would not last long. So sat in the car for a while, and sure enough, it did not take long and they all disappeared. So over to GZ and laid fingers on the cache in the first place I felt. Smile. Took the cache back to the car to sign log and reassemble then back to the hide to replace.
HUGE smile, bigger than the smiley on the map to have this one finally ticked off.
Thanks to Brad and Janet for replacing this. Good to keep these going.

Finally ticked this one off the list, as I have had a watch on it for over a year since my first DNF in Aug 2015 for this one (and after attempting to contact the CO about it). Thanks to Brad & Janet for reinstating it. Found after a brief hunt in the lunchour. Signed log. Smiled at getting another smiley.
Current coordinates
S34 55.672, E138 36.778
This one has had so many DNFs including by us. However this time after reading the logs suggesting the posted coords are wrong I got detailed information from a previous finder. A second call from GZ confirmed I was in the correct location. An extensive search finally turned up the expected container but unfortunately empty, with an open lid, and suffering badly from weather effects. Its position meant it was partly full of water.
As I had a number of replacement options in the R4V4 I took the liberty of providing a replacement log and holder.
It is now a grey magnetic key holder. It is low down, out of the weather and easily reachable from the footpath. I trust this is ok with the CO but if not I can return and remove it and change this log.
The posted coordinates are way off as others have suggested. I took a new set.
If you are not in Wakefield St you wont find it!

After much deliberation we decided to put Dnf .. Maybe co could pop past and check it out ? Much thanks
Had a thorough look for this one, on both streets and at the coords offered in the logs. About all we could locate was a piece of velcro stuck to a metal plate. Perhaps the CO can check this out.
No luck on our first pass. We returned later after reading that the coordinates were way out but still couldn't make the find and when a muggle seemed to settle in up the street we decided to move on.
Long look but couldn't come up with the goods. Suspect this one has gone missing.
Had another good look today at lunchtime with Kronklee and the Brood General, but alas, nothing at the suggested coords of S34 55.669 / e138 36.770 - I suspect this one has gone missing and needs to be replaced
Had a quick look, but couldn't find.
GZ was as busy as a turnstile at the cricket on dollar-day
But will return later when its quieter and have a better look

Such a nice day for finding caches of all types. Celebrating our seven year anniversary today, we chose to do what we enjoy doing most… exploring and finding caches!! Glad we read through past logs before going for the find... as we would have been looking on the wrong side!! Thanks to GiantInflatableFrog for posting more accurate coordinates... which led us to a quick find :c) TFTC!!
Found on my second attempt.
After a reading through the logs I realised the listed coordinates are waaaaaaay off.

Definitely needed to read the logs for this one, but once we had done so the cache was soon in hand, I think AnyMules smiled for the camera TFTC
The corrected coordinates let me straight to it after looking on both sides of the building where the originals were suggesting. TFTC.
Had a quick look in the middle of the night after work to no avail. Got a little distracted by the Velcro which when reading might have been its previous home. Will call back after a phone a friend.
On a half hour walk at lunch time and two broken finger nails and scratched knuckles found and replaced the cache. Hope it is secure. TFTF
Thanks for the fun FLIPPER&CO not a find this time around but will be back for another look
We would never have found this one without have a couple of previous finders with us... and even they said the cache was in vastly differing places. Anyway found with BTR, RTGW, Munja and jambo chicken
Found with Alex-thesquirrel Bek-TheRaccoon RideTheGeoWalrus and munja. Previous attempts had me on the opposite side of the building, would never have found it without help from previous finders. TFTC
Returned by cover of dark now that cache appears to be replaced.
Classic un-camo mint tin ! Easy find with bright minty colours and corrected coords in previous logs.

Well this sure was an interesting cache to locate, but the clue is correct. Sitting waiting for a lift was the best I could come up with but I am amazed just how much the containers have changed over the years, from what looks like a systema with magnets, you are now looking for a bright blue mini eclipse tin with no magnets Anyway the log inside was a geolog and I recognised some names so sign I did Thanks Flipper & Co for the cache I did smile for the camera !!!!!
Well this one could have been embarrassing if someone didn't look further into the clues.......otherwise the dumpsters were looking like the best possibility. But after re reading the clues and other bits and pieces the cache was soon in hand......I hope the cameras got my good side
This is my third time here ... and finally I managed to find this sneaky one once I retrieved the cache from its hide, the challenge was to put it back !! This is a high muggle area :O
But after while I got the right time to place it back.
TFTFun and a happy smile to me

I've been here several times without any success. It seemed to be a very illusive one to nail for me. Yesterday was the time after I had dropped my daughter of at the Adelaide oval for work. Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache.
Found after reading logs. Like others, we started in Nil street and had no luck. We did a quick waypoint average near the cache and came up with S 34 55.669 E 138 36.770. No guarantees with these coordinates, but I think they are a little closer than the posted ones. TFTC FLIPPER&CO for the cache.
I had to take my wife in to town and instead of paying for parking I thought I would do a spot of caching.
Hahaha, I managed to park within in 10 metres of the cache, or so I thought. So after a little stroll and some looking at the logs and photos I managed to find the cache quickly.
Number 1 of 5 for the day

Replaced with the joint help of SASewerRats and Locus. It may not last, but it is jammed in.
Map and compass put us at back in Nil lane, looked at previous photos so went around the fro t, but nothing there
Dropped part for another look.
Tried coords from old logs too.
Poked and prodded way to many fixtures and still no luck. Wondering...

We had along search with no joy, based on earlier dnf,s this may need to be checked
Came back armed with a hint but still no find. The channel 10 security guy came and checked up on me poking around in the back lane. He said it was around the front and we had a chat. Searched front and back of channel 10 with noy joy.
Easy find once I got the correct street! Maybe the channel 10 output was disrupting my GPS signal? SL TFTC.
Fourth find for the day.
Am from Geelong- just here for a w/e getaway.
Took me a little bit to find. Blame the buildings & GPS signal.
Time- 1.15pm.
Took- pin.

A last ditch effort to find a cache before I left for the airport and success! Very quiet out on the street in the early evening of Sunday as expected. Picked up TB. TFTC FLIPPER&CO
Na spent a while and thought I had it when lining up with convex mirrors but it evaded me Ah Well
We were nearby at an Event in the park so after finding another cache nearby took a look for this one. The hint made sense after it was found, although not where we had originally thought it would be but not too far away. TFTC
