We counted and recounted.
Got a set of cords and headed off to GZ.
WE searched high and low, widened our search area but no cache.
Could the CO please check this cache.

No luck for us either and likewise, by previous logs this definately needs looking at by the CO
A fun and easy multi in a nicely upgraded park. My best friend lived up the road from here so I remember what it used to be like. An easy solve and a quick stroll to GZ but no cache today.
I rechecked my answers and still got the same GZ. Tried tweaking the results and checking elsewhere in the park and still nothing. I noticed past DNF's and guess at a muggled cache?
Would pay for the owner to check anyway. TFT attempt.

no luck today... it hasn't been found since January. maybe it's not there anymore?
Work was over, the evening was nice, what else was I going to do but cache[?]
Really only needed one but by night's end I had found 9 caches and enjoyed locus caching for just over 2 hours
I had previously worked this multi out and then come to GZ but the cache was MIA (now that's a sign of the times, too, I bet!)
Having had it on a watchlist, I knew that it was here again and so a quick trip into GZ and the cache was found

Finally! Got there in time to sign a fresh new logbook. Had to battle my arch caching nemesis, The Noisy Miner Bird. Just be wary, this little bugger is in full swooping mode. TFTC The Kettles, Great multi.
Mohuja did the necessary calculations whilst I attended a nearby appointment and we headed back to find the cache. We are sure we were in the right area but there was nothing to be found after a very thorough search.
This one might need a look at Kettles with several recent DNFs. Looks like the water has come quite high over winter so not sure if it has possibly washed away?
Couldnt seem to find this one. Not sure but I think the cache is missing or buried? After double checking my coordinates and looking at the image gallery Im pretty sure I was in the right spot. Might be worth a look incase it's gone walkabout.
Finished work at 5.30pm and had a couple of geocaching calls to make, so it was after 6pm when I set off to grab a few caches.
So, in total darkness and with gusty winds, I drove towards Modbury area and of course, as I got close....the heavens opened up and poured down upon me
Thought I had played enough with this cache however despite a search tonight, no cache was found

Thanks for the cache. This is a new joint account for both afitzger88 and Kareng097.
Found it with the goekids for a walk after school. It was a lovely spot and this was a good easy one to let Captain~Rex do most of the sums for his scout challenge.
Kids were a little sad that the container was a micro not a regular though at GZ, as they had no room for swaps, but oh well. TFTC

Found with mum after school while doing a couple of caches for my scouting challenge, us kids worked out how to find the cache which was fun. TFTC
Great Park and Wet Lands, never knew it existed, but found it today.
Clever way to change the coordinates, had to recheck, but got there in the end.

Nice little wetlands that I've never seen but driven past numerous times. Thanks for bringing me to the area.
Glad my counting is good (and no kids at the starting point).

Found with rikes1 after a few returns to recount at the playground! Finally found it, but had no pen. Took photo of final cache as proof. Will return at later date with pen:)
After solving this one a long time ago but unable to find Cache as it was MIA, was just around the corner so thought I would pop over and see if it was there, made the discovery in the first place i looked last time. Great until I realised I didnt had a pen whoops, so took a photo of the log for proof.

After I was a little more observate with the clues and used more than one hand to count on I found the cache - TFTC
Gotcha!
Third time's a charm. First two visits to WP1, I was a bit self conscious. A grown man hanging around a playground is a little creepy, so information was grabbed in too much of a hurry and errors were inevitable.
Third time around, took 11yo geokid. He helped me locate and count correctly this time.
The search at GZ took longer than I expected. I was looking for a much larger container. That has to be the smallest "regular" I've ever seen! Has it been replaced at some stage with something (much) smaller than the original?
All in all, nice little multi and one that I'm quite satisfied to be able to finally tick off.
ZZzz..
I was out in the St Agnes area for an early morning fire at the bus depot and with the rest of the day off, why not grab a few caches around here.
Nice morning for this find with runners and walkers around. TFTC.

A nice walk around the wetlands brought Owl to a dismantled cache. A nearby duck family claimed they had found the cache but were unable to log or replace the cache, as bills aren't designed for caching. Owl reassembled the cache and rehid it. Unless the container has been taken, it is definitely a micro, not a regular.
found with geobub and schnail. hidey hole could have hidden a much bigger cache. tftc
Tried this one once before but had no success. Much better luck this time found with the Foxbane trio. TFTC
After getting this wrong once before, I thought it was time to get it ticked off... Finally got my sums right..
Nice stroll on fantastic Sat arvo.

Found at the second attempt. First time there were too many mini muggles to be able to pick up all the clues. Nobody here today, so a stroll around the playground produced the required info. Off to GZ and a fairly quick find in an obvious place. Signed the log whilst listening to the babbling water. Wonderful! Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here.
I love a nice straightforward multi that works! Thanks The Kettles for the cache.
Found Thanks [8]
The travel bug enjoyed the visit also, especially the monkey bars

This was my 2ed go at this one. Last time I did some thing wrong and ended up in the suburbs. This time I liked the GZ but I could not find a regular size cache. After a while I decided there could only be one spot for it I started to remove dry plant matter. I removed about a bucket worth of it and found what must be a new cache. It is at best a small but more like a micro. I think with the hiding spot changing with the rain the cache had rolled down deep. I replaced the cache not so deep and covered it with a few lumps of the plant matter not a bucket full.
Thanks for the cache.

Found as a part of a major group assault after a Birthday dinner nearby.
Funny night - It's just a convoy!!
Too much laughter, not enough stealth, good thing the place was deserted!

After a Geo Birthday event we decided after to go on a mini tour of the local caches in the area. This was not a quit cache find not when there was about 20 of us all with touches. I the Squeaky was not very Sneakie tonight as there was alot of laughter because of adult drinks. You can just imagine the goings on. I added a photo to this log of us tonight.

Didnt find this one. went down after school and coords sent us straight over to a very likely site and my new gps (garmin 60) has not led us astray yet but we looked and looked and had no luck! Bit dissappointed,knew where it should have been, im sure! Hope someone can update and confirm its locatoin. Thanks
A no go today for us.
This is the 3rd cache we have been unable to locate this morning.

Got all the clues but came up with nothing at GZ, we both searched in all the likely locations for about 30mins. Have a feeling it may not be there anymore????
Gotcha! First looked for this a couple of months ago. Gathered clues but couldn't find cache at GZ. Returned today, went to same place and there it was nice new log too. TN L blue beads. TFTC
Found it after a play at the nearby playground with the kids. The creek had recently flooded but cache was still in place. Thanks for the cache
Clues checked and all still in place. Cache replaced and TB dropped for the next finder.
Found with GeoKid #1, who gleefully found all the clues for me. [^] Unfortunately the last clue has been removed by council maintenance types. No matter, we found the cache after a bit of a sit-down to check the possibilities.
Then we went back for more of the playground.

A nice find after an aborted attempt when the area was swarming with teenage muggles. Knipper jr loved the playground and I loved the puzzle for the cache. Took TB and SL. TFTC.
da da daaaaaaaaaaaa, a multi cache!
im not a big fan of them, i prefur traditional caches, but i loved this one.
we worked out all of the clues and went for a stroll looking for the cache, DOH! after looking for 20 mins we went back and realized we did one of the clues wrong, so we punched the co-ords in right and found it after a little search, T roo L tb " earnie pez" TFTC one of the 4 for the day

This was our first cache. Was close to home so gave it a try. Found it quite easily so a good experience first up!
After a day of hectic shopping it was time to unwind with a quick one before heading home.
Got all the info no worries and made my way to GZ.
Not too many places to search and it was found nice and easy.
Thanks for the respite from the shopping mall.

On a great morning for a bike ride we passed by with no intensions of caching today. "Let's just have another look " as previous visits were unsuccessful . We found it this time but it had been muggled - contents spread everywhere and its correct location still unknown to us. We reassembled the cache and repositioned it in a location we have tried before. As we weren't prepared for caching on our bikes, we didn't have a pencil with us. "Which nearby cache might have a pencil ? " --> Nearby Loose Wheel has a pencil so we were in luck . After riding back and writing in the log book we returned the pencil and continued on our way. (Thanks Bob from Elsewhere). An IKEA pencil now lives in my bike bag. A member of the Kettles will need to check its current location and move it to its correct position. TFTC.
Got the clues at dusk. Spud found the cache in the dark TNLN TFTC Got to remember to take a pencil when i go geo caching
Finally got around to finishing this one off.
Too many muggles last time we were here.

got it slightly wrong the first time when it led to to the middle of the rd, so went back to the questions and found where i went wrong. i nice easy find from there. took geo coin to pass on
Had looked for this once before but with no success and bad GPS accuracy. Much more accurate reading today and found quickly.
Left Bandido Geocoin and took wax cupcake. Thanks for bringing us to this lovely little park.

Nice and peaceful place. Easy to find once we found the co-ordinates through the clues. There were a few muggle kids about but still managed to figure it out inconspicuously. Thanks for the cache.
Cups. Cakes. My mind was having a tea party after a long day. Finally found GZ after doing it twice. TFTCSL took pathtag left geocoin
Got all the required info and made our way to GZ. Nice stroll through a nice suburban park. TFTC
After getting the required info we headed of for GZ thinking it to be somewhere it wasnt.... After a bit more of a walk we came to GZ and soon had the cache in hand... While Dazzatron signed the log I took some pictures of the water running by... TN Left Pathtag... Thanks The Kettles for the cache..
No water anywhere in sight today, and would have been welcome in this heat. Nice little park, and the artwork was a surprise.
TNLN - Thanks Kettles!

Thanks Kettles for bringing me here to see the Solandra Wetlands. If we weren't out geocaching we probably wouldn't know about most of the parks we discover doing this activity. Left hammerhead shark & santa. Thanks for the cache.
this took a bit of finding as we wrote the co-ords wrong and was ending up in the middle of the pond.
with the right co-crds we had it quickly in hand

This was cache # 37 of 65 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our five day long weekend Adelaide caching Bonanza. Once we crunched the numbers it was off to GZ for a nice quick find. My thanks to The Kettles for the cache.
Found on a hot day while caching with Acts2youthgroup. Thankfully we were able to get the required information without much trouble. The cache was an easy find at gz too.
Was out for a walk when decided to look for a cache.
Lots of muggles around but managed to find ,sat and enjoyed the view.
Peaceful spot .

Another good area for a cache hunt to begin. The straightforward calculations to find the coords a good task for geograndkids and not too complicated for them so that added to the hunt. Good hide too.
Thank you for your cache, this was an adventure for us as we were there when there was a lovely family having a picnic. We felt like stalkers as every question we had to answer the children were nearby. Eventually got them all answered and left without the Mother calling the police on us. We certainly must have looked suspicious. Gemini7
Good setup what are the odds that a location matches with the clues....took Lanyard left marble and usb dongle
