Took the oppurtunity with a recent cache replacement to find and log. Thanks JO.
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.
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. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
3 months worth of DNF's and maintenance requests....perhaps it's time to archive.
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??!
'What's a paperbark?' said geodaughter. When we found the cache, she understood!

Another quick night-time find with Zytheran. The clue helped.
Thanks for the cache maux faux.

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

Did this one today during a shortened caching excursion around Whyalla.
No problem with muggles today. I think the weather has kept everyone indoors!

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.
Geodad went in search as geomum and geokid fed there faces. found easily. In need of new log book if the next cacher could replace as we didn't have one with us Sorry! TNLNSL. TFTC.
found this cache while others were in maccas on the way back from adelaide spent the night in whyalla plenty indigineous people very nearby good hide tftc
Last time I was here the GPS wasn't very accurate. (thats my story and I'm sticking to it) Today things went far better and I found it in just a few minutes
Nice rose gardens. A lovely spot.
A was going to leave a coin here but decided against it as it looks like the local kids play in and around here a bit and I did not want it to go missing.

First find for the day in a cold wet Whyalla, no other muggles out and about today.
This was our 3952nd overall find.
Found at 3:34 PM. A quick run out to the cache and back for an easy find. I love the colours in the gums around here!
Thanks maux faux for the cache.

Great little stop and a lovely park. Geo-kids played, Geo-dad hunted, Geo-mum kicked back in the car! Cheers for the hide!
Nice park. Geokids had cache in hand whilst geoparents still getting out of car! Thankyou for organising the cache. TNLNSL. Cheers!
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.

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.
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

Nice walk in the park, counted ten muggle snails stuck to the cache. TNLN TFTHSL
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.

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
No roses out this time of year, nice garden. Took praying mantis, Left plastic tree. Thanks
Nice easy find made a little more difficult due to being at 10 pm at night
Couldnt see much of the park (dark)
However... Have been here before and it is a nice spot!

We lived not far from here in the 70's & had no idea that this park was here. What a nice spot. Found this one after a short search. TFTCC No swaps

A nice one to look for while walking down memory lane. I lived near here from '85-'92. Thanks for the hide.
Our first find, young family enjoyed getting out. Thanks for the start of a long relationship!
Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. What a great park loved it nice quick one for us we were in a hurry
never knew there was a lush green lawn to sit on in town. Kids took the opertunity to play footy
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?!).
Found while in town for a basketball carnival. Muggles nearby, but found and retrieved without raising suspicion.

First find of the afternoon on a dash around Whyalla before returning to Pt Augusta.
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
My first find for the day after leaving the other half at her rellies house for the day.

Rocky Glen Grommets left behind All in One GeoCoin in place of the NZ GeoCoin that they took. Was a nice walk in the early morning. Grom 1 found this one.
ThisMechaniCans wife here: In Whyalla for a bit of shopping, thought I might grab this cache. Had looked at the cache several times before I realised that I was looking at THE cache.

Right around there, there was a cache. Round and round the garden goes the teddy bears. Neat and nice. Thanks for the cache guys.
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.
coin definitely not there...made a check the other day to mvoe it on. maybe someone has not logged it yet
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.

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...
