As there's been no cache to find for months, 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 the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Must be time to decide to restore or let it go.

Only when I did the paperwork just now I found out that this one was actually taken offline because apparently the cache is gone. A few weeks ago before I travelled to Australia there were already DNF's but it was still online so I put it in the Oregon anyway, however I never found it today which makes perfect sense now Smile TFTC(hurch)!
 
18-Dec-10
I checked and the cache has gone missing. I will replace and get it back online.
 
18-Dec-10
Had a good look for this today following a fairly cursory look a week or so ago without luck. I have come to the conclusion that it is either considerably more difficult than rated or gone.
 
12-Dec-10
Hmm too many muggles giving us trouble on a Sunday, will try this one again this week!
 
27-Nov-10
Unfortunately could not find this, though searched extensively with Mr Chillipips at various times and days in our week-long stay just round the corner, and suspect it has possibly been muggled. Gps units were both consistent over days, but searched well out of their indicated GZ as well, spending lots of time and dodging all sorts of muggles, so would be interested to know if it is still there and we are just too blind. If it is still there, then it is a mighty good cache and we humbly concede defeat Wink Thanks anyway for bringing us to this neat little church, and the opportunity to again act like goons trying to discretely search in ridiculous places Big Grin ..funny hobby we have!
Cheers

Really wanted to find this one. I was going to this church while I was in Adelaide. Really nice church! But couldn't find the cache even though was looking for it for a long time.
 
25-Sep-10
Been here twice. Haven't been able to give it a thorough look, as both times we have had problems with nearby muggles. We'll hopefully be back
 
19-Sep-10
Yes they are so many churches here... Nice and easy, Bonjour from French Canadians,TFTC, SL

17:20 Glad to find an inner city cache after visiting the art gallery, drinking hot chillie choc and being surrounded by muggles at all other nearby caches. TFTC.

Cheers, GC
 
31-Aug-10
Third find on my first ever trip to Adelaide. I had to wait out a few muggles for this one, who were just sitting in their cars and having a good stare. I finally got the chance to nab this from its hidey hole, log and replace before more muggles appeared. I'm starting to appreciate why Adelaide is known as the city of churches! TFTC Smile

Found quickly - the eighteenth of twenty nine for the day on my second caching outing in SA. TFTC

After a mammoth day yesterday I just can't seem to stop.

Nice quick find. Have just finished reading a book all about the building of cathedrals and churches so took more notice than normal.

Co-ords were pretty good for this one, even with the city satlock dramas... I walked straight up to GZ and pulled the cache from its lair... In and out in two minutes... Big Grin If only all the city caches were like that... Wink

Nice walk at lunch time with team Hard Units. Took us a while to locate this one, GPS kept sending us in the wrong direction.
 
23-Jun-10
Found during a lovely lunch time walk with team Challenge Me. Found after a little while of searching. Nice spot.
 
02-Jun-10
Looked for this cache about a month ago with no success. I nearly gave up this time after getting various locations from the GPS.

Once I found it, it was quite straight forward. I should have found this the first time.

Obviously I need to search more thoroughly.

TFTC
 
01-Jun-10
Found while taking the scenic way home from work. I found the lid of the cache and have put that back on, but the cache is missing its magnets so I have placed it in the same spot and it is being supported by its surroundings. Wink TFTC

Nice location, easy to find.
Container needs to be replaced as the the lid is missing and the logbook is really hard to get out.
TFTC
 
10-May-10
Cache is a bit worn out lid missing TFTC
 
02-May-10
We almost passed this by before realising there were no muggles around on a Sunday night. A quick search yielded the lidless cache and the log was signed. TFTC.

Thanks for bringing me to this beautiful building. Love to see the pipe organ..

Yep...After Dark out come the Queensland size cockroaches (well, the small ones anyway)
Found in the Dark.
 
21-Apr-10
This one had me searching for a bit but finally came up with the goods. Also saw Mr Cockroach!! TFTC
 
09-Apr-10
Arrived here after dark so it was nice and quiet. Thought I'd found the container in the dim light of the GPSr - until the object moved and I realised it was a Qld size cockroach. Nearby I found the real container and quickly signed the log. Nothing happening inside on a Friday evening. TFTC.

29-Nov-09
Found at 12.35pm on a cool drizzly day. The weather was improving with time but it was still a bit wet this early in the afternoon. The logbook is full. I managed to stick a sticker on the outside rear cover but didn't have a replacement logbook with me. Maybe Trail06 wants to keep the original anyway so a new one wouldn't fit without removing the exisiting full one. TNLNSL. TFTC and the history lesson, Trail06.

Quiet easy find on a sunny Friday lunchtime walk with newbie PS. SL Thanks Trail06 - now I'll have to come back for Cyril!
 
24-Nov-09
Found with linFox and rubai on our quick trip to Adelaide.

Found this one on the way to the city for dinner. We got here at about 9pm so it was REALLY dark, lucky we had the torch. Seeing as there was no one around we didn't feel too seedy using the torch to search, and after a few minutes the cache turned up. Adelaide is full of magnificent churches and this one is no exception!

Thanks, Jezzza Xtreme.
 
24-Nov-09
Cache #4 of 39 on our Adelaide trip with rubai and JezzzaXtreme.

On the way to grab some food in the city at night we walked past here. After some scratching around in the almost pitch dark we came up with the find.

Thanks!

#265: 4 of 39 found with JezzzaXtreme and linFox on our geocaching trip to Adelaide.
On our way to find somewhere to have dinner we decided to stop off for this cache. There was no one in sight at this time of the night (9:20PM).
 
18-Nov-09
How lucky was I. My visit to the cache included a full caching walk of the city with the owner of this cache. But even though he was forewarned - he still forgot the new log book Sad- but all was not lost as I easily found a place to make my mark Big Grin. TFTC and for the fun night.

Just about to go but then found it. no muggles, all quiet ... TFTC

Found during our night out without Teeny Twirby. This was our second attempt at this one, cache on a Sunday at a church was not a good idea. TFTC
 
04-Nov-09
Two people in the building already know about the cache, as one is a cacher, and another has been caching before!

Nice easy find. Beware of people working in building opposite. Very exposed to them. Log book is officially overfilled

We found this cache as part of the Gangsters Team as we had our Invasion Weekend around Adelaide. Thanks for the adventure.
 
15-Oct-09
Found on an Adelaide Invasion in the company of Big Matt and Shell and The Rats.

A quick grab in the afternoon. The nearby sensor light would certainly make this exposed at night. TFTC.

Found this cache on our Adelaide invasion trip with The Rats and FarmerFrentzen. A nice little inner city cache. I'm not sure if the nearby road is one way but I had a bit of oncoming traffic with me facing the wrong way.

Thanks Trail06 for the cache.

In town for a maths conference. Headed out with two new cachers from WA, and when we approached GZ a car drove out of the yard and left the lights on, directed at us. Someone stepped out and asked if we'd lost something. I said no, we were OK, but he said he was asking because he'd just cleaned the low-set holes and he hadn't found anything. He said he was a member of the church and about to lock it up for the night, after a service. I decided it would be better to let him know what we were doing in case he comes across the container on his next cleaning round - when we told him, he said he'd thought we were playing a game. We started to look together, but he gave up and said he had to lock up. We eventually found it, and showed him the container to reassure him that it was not dangerous. We all parted laughing - he couldn't believe that anyone would leave a small box attached to his church - and provide this much information about the church - and up to date information! TFTC and an interesting experience. Hi from QLD.

Had to wait for some people sitting in a car right next to GZ to go, but found easily enough after that, even at night with no torch. Nice old church! Thanks.
 
09-Aug-09
Found at second attempt. Don't believe I didn't look there previously. No muuggles outside but the congregation was in full voice inside.
The log book is full and needs replacing. TNLN Thanks Trail06 for the cache.
 
06-Aug-09
I'm sure I checked there on my first stop in the darkness. My last stop was just a quick earth image stop, so didn't look further.
Tonight (after another Plasma donation) I had the torch and a hint and soon had cache in hand, although I had checked all possible hint spots.
Finally got the log out and found a blank page to add my name into the small book.
Interesting to see how the old building at the back has been converted.
Wouldv'e been fun hearing the organ, as they do pump out a great sound when played well.
TNLN, TFTC Trail06

There was more foot-traffic than I expected. Had to be sneaky.

It seemed as though I was receiving divine guidance to this one Red Face, as I just walked straight up to it and it was in the first place I looked Surprised. That’s NOT the norm for me with inner city caches. I still have nightmares about “3 Steps From Telstra†[xx(]. Cheers.
