Unfortunately we are now interstate for at least the next 3 months so will need to archive this cache.
Not having been found for 6 months and with that many DNFs, it's about time the owner checked if the cache is still there.
No luck for me either today, but now I see I’m not alone! Had what I thought was a good look in and around here, but came up empty handed. I’ll keep watch on this one, for next time I’m in the area.
Also could not find. Suggest owners may need to have a check. Certainly not willing to risk spiders and snakes to find it!
Second time looking for this one don't think it's a good idea to put a hand into some of those spidery holes!
Had a quick look that probably doesn't quite qualify as DNF, but as I didn't actually find it, i suppose that what it is.
Had a good look around - started to get a bit wet so I left empty handed. I will be back to find this one..
Thank goodness for geo-hubbies long reach. Geo kid beat me in a quick game of rock paper scissors
Rock piles are not my favourite place to search for any sized cache but at least it's not a nano
Spent quite a while moving almost all the movable rocks but wasn't until I reached in far enough that the find was made and was able to get my and DPA names in a unique log style (scissors still working).
Thanks for the cache walkingwombat.

I found it straight away! I don't know how I missed it the first time!
No mountain-goat hooves needed tonight!

Aaahhhhhh... The frustrations of a jumping gps signal!!
I'm sure I'm looking too deep again! Not to worry! A lovely spot to return to another day

Loved this one very much!! Geokids were all over these rocks, moved the "door cover" several times saying" this looks odd" but didn't look far enough!! TFTC SL
Had a good look, but couldn't find it, although I do suffer from cache blindness. Looked under my bag twice, as this is usually where they are when I can't find them! No luck today.
Ok, so me and my friend went serching for the cache Paper, Scissors, Rock?
No luck, we went to far and with no GPS it's quite hard with only a hand drawn map.

Should have had a look at the map before leaving as I managed to be on the wrong side of the creek for every cache this evening! Still, after a rocky crossing I made an easy find. Left TB. Thanks walkingwombat.
an ASTRO find. what a nice little area to hide a cache, and i thought getting it would be a bit harder for lifting but ASTRO reached down there and pulled the cache out.

The GPS gave us a good look around this area as it couldn't make up it's mind where we were supposed to be. Finally found the cache. Left a new log book as the single scrap of paper was full. (The owner may want to check this cache out as there is only one plastic bag, no scissors and lots of scrappy bits of paper in the cache.) Thanks for the cache.
Found with a friend this morning. Took the adventurous way to the cache, but the more normal (and easier) way back. A quick find. TFTC.
Looked in the likely spot, didn't see it. Searched nearby rocks and went back to the likely spot. Just needed to look a bit harder. No scissors or paper to cut up in cache. Glad we got this one as getting frustrated with Flowing Water nearby.
Haha I knew where it was as soon as I saw the rocks.. great fun felt like a kid again Tftc
after i had been hear sometime back and Deb last week came again tonight and found it almost intantly i am sure i had looked under that rock.
Despite the GPS doing weird things to me, the cache was found. No scissors and no blank coloured paper though
Second time searching... Finally managed to find it More people have been here than expected!
Hmmm .. Rock scramble ... Fun. HGL nephew found the cache after a short search amongst to rocks, we signed a piece of paper that was starting to look like a log, but did not spot any scissors! Anyway - we still won the game. Thanks walkingwombat for a rocky challenge.
This was a heavy one for geokid!! Cut out a heart to add to the collection. TFTC
Mr Bushies2 went down there by himself and found it after a short search. Thanks walkingwombat.
Visiting from WA and decided to do a few caches with my nephews - but they had already done the ones close by. All I can say is that caching is pretty easy when you have four sets of eyes trying very hard not to look at the cache. Hehe.
1..2..3.. My spock beats your rock http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.
I thought I was going to be up for a long search, but happily the cache was in one of the first few spots I checked. There are no scissors. There is no blank paper. There are just rocks. So I added my name on one of the pre-used pieces of paper, and didn't cut it into any shapes. Which is probably for the better.
TNLN - Thanks walkingwombat!

Found with son and the family. Nice location, took ten minutes or so to find as thought it may be higher than it was TFTC
Left .308 shell and silhouette of weimaraner.
Took the Estacada Challenge Coin HGMRBD.

Visited Paper,scissors,Rock today and dropped off the 'Estacada traveller' GeoCoin.
As previous - no scissors here but the cache was - so logged on. TFTC and walk.
Quick easy find for Uncle Eric and the clan. Log needs some attention ... and the scissors have been taken.
Swapped a few small things.

It was absolutely pelting with rain as the Stradbroke Scouts came across their second cache. It was a great find. Everyone was very excited.
Closest cache to our house and we just missed out on GC. This is our first cache find yay!
We eventually found it after slipping on the wet rocks. We took the Australian Geocoin as it was our first one. Sadly though there was no spare paper and no scissors. TFTC
(Formerly DavMal60) Lovely morning for a pleasant walk along the creek. Plenty of birds singing their songs. Quick find. L:GC. TFTC walkingwombat
Quick find while searching in the breaks between muggle walkers. Thanks walkingwombat for the hide!!!
we have tried for this one a few times. The tall grass around GZ making it a hard find, today with much less growth around we could see where the likely spot was, and not long after searching soon had the cache in hand.
The rock it was under was larger then i would of expected.
Scissors a little rusty.
Thanks for the cache walkingwombat

Really nice cache in a wonderful part of the torrens, very pretty here, lovely hide and idea. Wasnt much paper left to make something from but put our little shaped log in amongst the others, TFTC, Took: TB Left: TB
Muffle on lawnmower almost caught us, found with sniffer_dog on epic backing day
A nice one to stretch the legs and get the blood pumping. Found the cache after searching for a bit. Left trackable. Thanks walkingwombat
Took a friend who wants to become a geo-cacher. Found this one along a beautiful part of Linear Park. Found a Travel Bug and retreived it, our first one....COOL! Will find a cache a distance away to place it. TFTC
One of my closest to home for many years but on the wrong side of the river.
Grabbed today when cleaning up the local area. Really must explore this side more often.

Enjoyed the lovely stroll along the linear track for a easy find, we did a rock off to sign the log, Mr frog won L a TB TFTC
After finding Freddo's fifth it was only a couple of hundred metres walk to this cache which was in an obvious location but took a few minutes to find. Thanks ww for the cache.
GPS had us looking at a new element for the game - water!
We knew this was incorrect. Had a look around, but without the notes, it'll be one we have to come back for.

There was just a short rock scramble to get to the cache's hiding place

Found on a walk along the Torrens. Needs some more log paper, and the scissors have disappeared.
Slowly catching up on logs, only a few behind now!
Found with setsujoku on one of our many journeys.

Since we were cleaning up some cache close to home, we thought we should really stop for this one.
Was on a roll as it was in the second place I looked, which was handy, as we could have been there for ages.
Glad that the nearby paths aren't roads, as there would be traffic chaos everywhere!

Find number 9 on this cold and wet day, thanks for the cache.
We made this alot harder than it needed to be by driving as close as we could and walking down the hill, on climbing back up we took a few tumbles which would have made hilarious home videos.

In the drizzly afternoon toddler beldini and I headed down from the road above and whilst he played on the paths above I searched...and searched..and then he came and helped me, which didn't help much. Then I tried the opposite side of the collection and there it was! Attempted to make a cut out of the toddlers favourite #1 engine. TFTC
We spent ages searching for this a loooong time ago, and it turns out it was missing back then. Memories came flooding back when we visited today, but this time there was a cache to be found, and found it we did. Cut out something resembling a shape, had to be quick to avoid impending muggle arrivals. TFTC.
Found it as last take me 10 mins to looking everywhere bit hard to find it.Nice park area.T.N.L.N.S.L.

Sunday morning and we are out caching.
An easy find but had to wait for muggle cyclists and runners.

Was starting to get a little depressed after going to 5 previous caches, and only finding one! Lucky this one was easy to find!! TFTC
Tried coming in from the top of the hill, then saw the path linking around.
So many rocks that it could've been anywhere!! Luckily, at the last moment, the cache was located in an area of rock that hadn't been thoroughly checked.

At first, couldn't find a way across the river, so drove the long way round. Enjoyed the hunt. Thanks Walking Wombat.
Find 17 of 50 in a two day caching run around Adelaide.
It sure was warm but I loved tracking down caches.
Thanks for providing fun in my Holidays.
Second attempt found it this time

This place is quite a little transport hub, judging by the tracks !
Couldn't get the GPS to settle, so started a blanket search some metres away. However, the location was obvious when I got there .

Thanks again Walking Wombat.

This was cache # 24 of 65 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our five day long weekend Adelaide caching Bonanza. the words of my late mate dank were ringing in my ears "Geez I hate them in rocks" thankfully I soon had this one in hand. My thanks to walkingwombat for the cache.
Found on a hot day, caching with Acts2YouthGroup. My second go at this one and so was very happy when he found it. Cut a sheet into a golden rectangle. Sort of.
