Found the new cache easily thanks.TFTC.

Took the oppurtunity with a recent cache replacement to find and log. Thanks JO.
 
05-Feb-12
Well, there is now a cache in place as per the hint. If the owner is happy to have the replacement micro in place then I guess it's good to go again.
 
05-Feb-12
Signed the log in the replacement cache right before JadedOptimist replaced it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

3 months worth of DNF's and maintenance requests....perhaps it's time to archive.
 
24-Jan-12
Should have checked all the dnfs before coming here.
 
12-Jan-12
Definitely no cache where hint suggests.

Dnf.
 
29-Oct-11
Found trinkets lying on the ground, could not locate cache or logbook. Suspect cache may have been comprised - large community event held on site last weekend with lots of kids so maybe it was muggled??!

Tftc. Took time to work out nearby. Hilarious

Seeing the recent DNF I checked this one today and found it just as it was when I checked it last. The log and cache is dry and in great condition. For those looking for it they should take note of the clue, it's not hard to find.
 
16-Apr-11
Ms Bushies2 found it straight away...nice park...our dog enjoyed the stroll and chased the ball for a while. Thanks maux faux for the cache.
 
05-Feb-11
This one went missing recently but has been replaced. same co-ords.
 
10-Nov-10
DNF couldn't find a thing.
 
08-Oct-10
Our indicated GZ was in the right spot according to the hint, but we couldn't find any 1 litre container anywhere. Looks as if the gardeners have been through recently, as there was a pile of prunings nearby and a good-sized branch has recently been cut from the tree suggested by the hint. Another small tree has bee completely cut off nearby as well. Oh well. We still saw this lovely park. Must have been some good rain recently, as the low-lying grassy area close by has become a small lake. Our thanks anyway to maux faux.
 
29-Sep-10
in town this weekend and hopefully replace the log...

Found it on a junior netball victory excursion. Introduced the two teams to geocaching while we were waiting to go ten pin bowling.

The logsheets are full and need to be replaced sometime. Unfortunately I didn't have with me otherwise I would have done so. The contents is also very damp, but then again the rainy season is about done now so should be good for a few months. Wink
 
01-Sep-10
This was my first cache. Found it easily enough. Thanks

Nice park. Geokids had cache in hand whilst geoparents still getting out of car! Thankyou for organising the cache. TNLNSL. Cheers!
 
28-Dec-09
The area around GZ appears to have been used as a little hidey-hole by some locals, and the cache was lying out in the open, very visible. I've made an effort to put it closer to the hint, and camouflage it at least partially.

29-Nov-09
Found today - as last finder said paper needs replacing as it is very wet. We did leave two small sheets on note book until you can replace it. TFTF TNLN.
 
27-Nov-09
Easy find in a nice spot. The log sheet is a little wet and probably could do with replacing / drying out
No swaps. Thanks Maux Faux
 
15-Nov-09
Cool Nice walk in the park, counted ten muggle snails stuck to the cache. TNLN TFTHSL
 
11-Nov-09
This was the last cache of my work trip over here.
The heat was getting to me and I needed to be somewhere airconditioned, not out here in the heat.
Thankfully a quick find after walking across the still green lawns.
Thanks maux faux.

Well, the coords, or at least our gps had us about 295 feet away, next to a tree on the other side of the park. We wondered back and forth trying to see
where something could be hidden. Coords said "0 feet to" in the middle of a road. After a few on and off's and recalibration of the compass, we
found very quickly. Even had time to stop and smell the roses.
 
03-Oct-09
we have been looking at this one every time we are in whyalla, went out at night to do this one as it is always high muggle area during daylight hours. Nice easy find with the hint. SL TFTC TFTH TNLN Smile

07-Apr-09
I ate lunch in the park, then strolled over to GZ and found it after a few minutes of searching. I like the manicured garden nearby. Thanks maux faux (best caching name around?!).

The parklands looked fresh and green which is a bit of a rarity these days. Unfortunately as we got close to gz we noticed the cache had been muggled. We collected the bits that were left and placed them in a new container with a log sheet and hid it and hoped it would stay well concealed. Thanks maux faux

Lovely rose garden, no-one about this morning so we were able to search for the cache undeterred. TNLN

Just taking it on holidays during the local Clean Up Australia activities around the GZ this weekend to avoid it being cleaned up a by citizen looking for trash.
 
23-Feb-08

23-Feb-08
My first find in Whyalla today (second find was $1 coin near the seat as I made my way there to fill out log book).

Didn't see geocoin in the cache.

TFTC
 
18-Feb-08
Have not been able to log for a bit, I was on hollidays and only just got access to a computer to log the visit. I retrieved the coin and will be dropping it off soon.

Great spot for a cache, had to wait for a few muggles to clear prior to being able to look for it. Seemed forever but I guess it was hot...

Cheers
