As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Did not find it. Would be an easy find if it was still there. Great spot for a GZ but cache just not there. This needs to be deleted.

Sorry about this, will drop by and fix soon.

No one around looked for ages. Think it might be gone.

We looked in all the obvious one star places and no dice. Poked a loooong stick down the hollow to double check it hadn't been pushed in beyond view and still mutton.

Over on a geocaching holiday. Enjoying my tour around Adelaide travelling between caches. Soon had this one located. SL TFTC

found it with kanga_cruise after having a nice lunch at the W.

Found with BobGSA. TFTC

Found OK.
TFTC

found it! tftc

this was a bit harder than first thought. but with a second look it was found easy enough.. TFTC trail06

I had tried this one a long time ago but remember the cache being swarmed with bees!
Today the coast was clear, no muggles on the platform and a quick find and sign.

Cheers and happy caching.

found on an awesum midnight ride on the tall bike..TFTC trail06

My first! Yay!

TFTC one of many found today

another train station another cache and another quick find

LOts of muggles around waiting for the train, but we found it ok.

Nice and quick.
Gotta love a quickie. Tnlnsltftc

Found with snowball 6&7 TFTC

Tftc found with capone.... security mules everywhere

We have checked the cache and it is all up and running. Have fun!

trackable "the (too much) duffman" passing through

The bees have moved in to stay so I will look to relocate this cache to a better spot.

There is a beehive at this cache! Could not sign the log, got stung twice when I shoved my hand into the hole without looking
There were so many bees swarming that we decided not to even attempt to remove it after this....

I think something needs to be done about the bees at the cache, especially since they are actually with the cache...
for anyone that doesn't read the logs (like me) before they try to find it, they won't be expecting them, and could easily lead to more stinging....

Found it but Bee's are now swarming around it. Beware

[B)] Look out for the keepers of the cache!!!
Extracted with the tools left by the previous cachers.
Quick walk away and sign,
then quicker return to position the cache,
and then turn around to see the neighbour across the road watching!!!
She looked a bit puzzled, so I smiled at her,
got in the geomobile, and drove away with a smiley!

Please be careful with this cache,
maybe the difficulty could be increased to match the angriness of the BEES.
TFTC and the hunt...

Yipppeee I was quick I was smart and I had the locals in a spin. Not many muggles today. Thanks for a challanging cache Trail06

Found on a night cache with Munja, Mitch and Matt.

Found it but could not get it. Wow natives are angry and muggles aplenty. Next time I will go at night. Dangerous for anyone with an allergy.

Nice quick find but had to wait a few minutes until the train came and took the muggles away. In the meantime it made a great seat in the shade. TFTC

This one was not to bad it allowed me to grab a seat while signing..Not to many people around so I didn't have to wait to long before I was able to retrieve the cache

Quick find on meal break, had to wait for concerned civilian across the street tftc

Found after church this morning. The hint was a great help which meant I was able to walk up to GZ. The GPS was spot on. TFTC Trail06.

Found with Nat, was pretty darn easy with the clue

eclipse is a fav with cachers.

Found this cache today during a mini caching spree around the beautiful city of Adelaide today.

TFTH TFTC SLTNLN

A popular spot this one here, looks good and has done well

Found easily enough once I was on the other side of the tracks,tftc

Walking home from Marion Shopping centre on Sunday and finally noticed no one at the Oaklands station. Decided to finally drop by and cross this one off my list.

one of 48 for the day!!! tftc

Easy find TNLN TFTC

Great to finally be in the area to knock off another of this series as last time it was off the air TNLN TFTC

An interesting placement in a busy muggle area during the day. Had to time pick up and replacement to the train comings and goings. Tftc.

Found with Muggle friends teaching them the wonders of geocaching.

At last the cache was found and the series completed.
I have looked at both previous locations only to find the cache was disabled earlier that day.
Thanks to Trail06 for the cache.

Found while on my SA jaunt in company with Slink1. TFTC SL

Quick find on 2nd day of caching in Adelaide with TeamDunko TNLN TFTC SL

Found as team SaintsMadHouse, and now that I am an adult, I have my own account and will log with this.Easy find, love the drive bys! TFTF

Found as a part of Team SaintsMadHouse and now that the kids have grown we each have our own accounts to finddd geocaches with separately wherever we go!Easy find, love the drive bys! TFTF

As we parked the car and strolled to the GZ with Saintsmadhouse we scanned the area and decided that that would be the spot and sure enough there it was nice and easy find and replace.

Easy find, love the drive bys! TFTF

Thanks for your patience, we have replaced the cache and it is up and running.

I walked to this one from a nearby attempt without looking at the cache notes and so didnt' have the clue. I nearly didn't stay because there was a young lad leaning on the fence near GZ.

When I realized that he was still half asleep I decided to pretend to do what he was doing (waiting for someone to pick him up, I presumed). After leaning on the fence a while it occured to me that the cache was probably on that object over there. As I srolled around it I noticed tell-tale signs only a cacher would understand, that indicated people had searched here. I finally discovered a spot so likely that I took the chance to have a thorough, albeit fairly quick, look in there. Either it wasn't there, or it was a long way in.

As a country bumpkin I'm learning to see the suburbs in a whole new way. Thank you for your contribution.

We would have found this cache if the last person had put it back. There are no bees there while we were searching, as we read the logs after having a thorough search of the hide. So we will log this as a find as we will not be back here in the near future being from Vic.
TFTalmostC

Yep there's bees there (see pic). Unfortunately I didn't see them until trying to replace cache So guess what? I didn't replace the cache. Contacting owner to see what we can do.

I see my mate from SEQ has ignored the bees, cannot let the FNQ side down so in we go, SL TFTC

Closest cache to the hostellery that I was staying at. Found it quickly and easily. Bees about, but no problem. TNLNSL TFTC

Speedmistress Triumphs. TNLN SL TFTC

On approach to GZ it was obvious where the cache was.
As I got closer it was also obvious that a swarm of bees had been deployed to protect the cache.
In a valiant attempt to retrieve it i was stung numerous times and with aching arms i gave up and walked away.
I'll be back when the weather cools off in full head to toe beeproof suit!

Found with Ma7:7hew and SA_Parrothead on our Australia day run originally planned to do all the Mitcham Quarry series but injury and exhaustion led us to abandon those plans after #4 and do a bunch of easy ones. For some reason I thought I had this one and watched Ma7:7hew grab it from the car. Luckily he wrote my name in the log just in case so I can get the smiley. Thanks for the cache and thanks Ma7:7hew.

Found with ParrotHead & someuser on our Australia Day run. I tried this one earlier while it was out of action. Today, I jumped out of the car at the nearby intersection and logged it before meeting up with the others near 'Choose Your Deity'.

Nice hide. It was being guarded by a bee today, but it finally flew away.

Found in the company of Contact Zero
one bee really liked this cache, twas easily swatted away though

Quick easy find on a morning of caching. TFTC

found at obvious spot. We expected it to be there from the moment we drove up. Easy find, thanks.

Quick Find on a nice bike ride around Sturt area.

Happy Summer

Nice stroll around the new station after sunset. Cool breeze after a day of 42 degrees. Have been meaning to stop by and investigate the new automatic gates at the pedestrian crossing. This was our chance. TFTC.

Ps. Oh and the GIGANTIC cockroach that crawled over the cache as I reached for it was a nice surprise as well. It would have looked a sight for muggles to see someone reaching for something and then suddenly starts doing the irish riverdance as a cocky springs out! ;O)

Bent down to log and ripped the backside out of my pants. Then geo son needed to retrieve and he noticed hide is slowly becoming a bee hive. Maybe some newspaper required to create a cork to stop the bee's stinging cachers or just do this one at night. TFTCSL

The weather was good for caching so it was time for some New Year caching down south.

Finally managed to grab this one but I think the bees may be eyeing off the hollow for themselves. TFTC.

Forgot to log this one when we found it and now cannot remember the date of the find! TFTC

Another cache returned, thanksso much. When I was replacing it a few bees were in the hole, so beware. Thanks.

found it pretty easy. picked it straight away

Never found version 1 (it had always just been muggled) but had better luck this time. Scored a few splitters retrieving the cache! Thanks Trail06

[^][^] Found it quick due high muggle there.T.N.L.N

T.F.T.C [^]

Another find.
Thinking of following you along the rail line.
Had to watch for muggles in this one - more exposed area.

I saw the updates that have been posted over the last few days and had a look on the way home tonight (without realising that the cache was still disabled). Found the replaced cahche, hiding quietly, nice fresh log for me to sign!

Thanks Trail06, another in a fine series, still many on my list to find

All fixed, cache back on line.

Unarchiving cache.

155 caches found, and here I had my first muggle encounter. A passer by queried our interest in the object which obviously should be hiding the cache. We looked in as far as we would be able to reach and can confirm, along with several others, that it's not there. I had this hanging around in GSAK since last year, so I didn't realise that it was disabled. That'll teach me not to check 'is active' when doing a PQ.

We will have a look at the cache and see what is happening.

Despite the clue for Emerson, I imagine there is only one place this could be. I am pretty sure it is not there. Albida

Passing so stopped for a quick look. Nothing? Or did I miss it?

Is this cache back in action yet?

On the Train, Tram and the Buses today.
Hiked to Oaklands from GC10YE2 Duck, Duck, Goose!
DNF had a real good look. I think its gone again.

DNF on Aesir Rover Crew's Cyclocaching day with Heatherez, K8eus, bek-theraccoon and Perseguidor. Looked for some time with no luck

This cache was found as part of my City and surrounding suburbs invasion. Thanks to all who placed caches allowing me find nearly 200 caches in 7 days.

finally located the container after waiting till the muggles ( rail workers) turned away
tftc

Suspect someone took a likely to the little container, Trail06. 8 eyes looked for some time without a result.

HHmmm, it's been a while since the last find. Will watch with interest.

Luckily we had a swag of geokids with us to play on the hiding spot! That thwarted strange looks from those waiting for the train at the late hour of 9pm! Took nothing, left some flag toothpicks. TFTC
