The Lost Forest Kadina, South Australia, Australia

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.

We looked for over 30 mins. could not find it, took location from my son and didn't know it was not active at the moment, saw 2 others trying also, I guess if it wasn't there they didn't find it either.

I feel better now I know it was not there, don't feel so silly I DNF

After emails reporting that this one cannot be found I went out and checked and discovered that it has unfortunetly fallen victim to muggles.

I will endevour to replace i with a more camo'ed version soon.

DNF with Swampy. We spent 20 mins checking everywhere but no cache was found.

TFTC

DNF at 2:10 PM.
Yet another DNF - the DNF's are fast catching up on the founds. Found what I thought was the tree for GZ, searched for 5 minutes moving what seems to be a mountain of leaf litter to try and uncover the cache without any success, so on to the next cache.

We had a fairly good scratch around this area, even decoded the hint which seemed to say we were in the right spot but still with no joy, hopefully it's still us just having a bad day

Didn't find this one but did find where it may have lived. nice little intended area with a couple of cammo pieces from near by still at the scene so would pay to check this one.

Out caching whilst at Port Hughes for the week.

Found with polkys quest

Found as part of Angel_bubi's and myself's "coloring in the yorke cache raid"! TFTC

Lost Forest found. 44th find for the day
TFTC

At a nearby wild olive tree, I saw a sleepy lizard sunning himself in the beam of light that shone through the treetops. Luckily he wasn't sitting on the cache; it was found nearby.

Thanks for the cache .

Geo-grandkid, learning to use GPS, showed the way to this one. Took koala sharpener and left purse. TFTC

Found by geokid practicing with the GPS. Swapped a bracelet for a frog. TFTC

Unlost at 22:00 during our post-dinner walk around town, and last find for the day.

Found it at 2200, my 43rd find for the day, shattering my previous best of 24 finds in a day. This will be hard to top. Thanks DeltaEcho for your part in my tally. Now back to the pub for post-mortem analysis.

Found it, its not lost anymore!! TFTC

I found what I thought was GZ (due to a forest the sat loc was no good) So I went on the hint. Found the tree...... it was buzzing. A bee hive was setting up!!

Didn't bother to retrive the cache. OWWW
Next time
Thanks anyway

42 of 52 on our trip to Cu /.

Easy to find, not very well hidden, but then again, easy to find in pine trees is a change from normal up here.

Found the cache easily enough whilst on our tour of Kadina

Only a quick stop, with the warm day meaning we were liking spending time in the air conditioned car

TNLNSL

Had a few extra minutes to spare while waiting for the ferry, so caching is the only way to fill in time. TFTC

Lovely bit of forest in the suburbs. Located the cache without problems. TNLN

I really like the way these parks are still around - Ta!

Initially thought the cache had a beehive growing over the top, but it turned out to be the wrong tree. Found without too much trouble from bees, muggles or muggle bees. TFTC.

Quick find. Thanks DeltaEcho

Found this cache with froghoppin and have since created my own team name and currently logging previous finds after discussions with other cachers at a recent event TFTC

Found on the way home from the York T Necklace and L Keyring PU GC TFTC

Found at 1035 hrs. 1st cache in Kadina whilst visiting friends.

Just dropped in to check on the cache and drop off a geocoin.

quik find-more caches to find before dark-comeon hurry up
TFTC

There seems to be quite a few of these little forests in amongst the houses in this town. TNLN, TFTC

Getting sat Loc was definately fun here but after walking around in circles for a little while the clue eventually led me to the correct spot!
Cheers, TFTH.

Found by Barry and Beryl at 3.05 pm On our fist visit there was a van parked amongst the trees facing GZ we came back about 30 minutes later and the coast was clear TNLN
Thanks Delta Echo

Found easily and used the nice location to break open the thermos for morno’s [^].

Lots trees but watch out for the bees.

Found eventually was trying my new GPS out and wasn't quite getting the hang of it but did in the end. TFTC

Took best friend and her 2 geo kids along with my 2 geo kids for a day of caching in the tringle. Took 10c left hair clips TFTC

Found on way home from Pt. Pirie after birth of new grand-daughter with 4 brothers! A cold eerie spot in the fading light!

Skippy's old stomping ground when he used to chase a certain lamb over the road. Handy to have a forest over the road. There had to be a cache in this forest.

Clear skies DeltaEcho from TeamAstro.

Found well away from the list co-ords, however under that cover who can tell. Neat cache in a wild park. Impressive trees.

The forest may have been lost but the cache was found fairly quickly, it looks like someone has been looking close but not close enough

As with most, the trees screw with the GPSr but there are only so many spots it can be. Found after a few searches. Nice spot.

Love the location and the sound of the wind in the trees. T:flashing cards badge L:pen.TFTC

This lost suburban jungle has been sceaming for a cache since geocaching was invented. This is the third place we've visited today that we have considered a likely spot for one of our own. Initially we left the GPSr in the car, still traumatised by Team Piggy's C G S M P cache (GCD0CF). Indeed we spent quite a while wandering aimlessly in the lost forest. The hint seemed to apply to everything we looked at, well...almost. Eventually, Miss J spotted the elusive blighter, and we were surprised at the size of the box.
Took nothing, left a spy sensor alarm thingy.
Thanks DeltaEcho.

Had to walk around with cache in hand for about ten minutes as there were muggles in the forest to day. Spoke with them about the majestic trees and the weedy olives. Swapped a lady bird for a badge and then returned the cache to its correct hiding spot. Thanks

Found the cache at 8.30am. Nice forest park. Search for while finally found it. No swap. SL. Thanks DeltaEcho for organising the cache and hunt.

Rocky Glen Groms found this easily once we'd located the right tree in the forest. Left a KInda Toy and took $50 keyring. Would be wonderful on a hot summer day - today was wet and raining - still a good place to be!

Very damp underfoot today. Not having the hint, we tried making this harder than what it really was, when it was quite easy in the end. Nice forest in the middle of town.
TFTC

Run forest, run - NOT rain forest, rain!

it certainly was wet while we found this cache. Son 2 thought he could find it without GPS; just using the clue. WRONG!!!!

Well hidden. Great find.

Took highlighter
Left bracelet and something else (alzheimer's)

TFTC DeltaEcho

Lots of searching with no GPS but persistance paid off in the end! Mad Cat Lady and co. Quiet Anzac afternoon.

Wow thats one big forest in a town.

Did someone lose a forest? I think we found it. We left it in the lost property box. But first we visited the cache, right where the hint said it was .

Took: yellow dragon (or maybe its a dinosaur?)
Left: card badge with flashing lights

Thanks DeltaEcho!

Thanks for a great cache Delta! found with Aggers 181, and you!!! This is one of my favourite parts of Kadina - so beautiful!

My brothers and sister and I used to walk through this forest many years ago. My how the trees have grown. Our grandparents used to live just around the corner.

Lambchops used to live across the road from the cache, every time we visit friends or stay overnight, we drive past her old house
Today I dropped off a forklift 6 kms north from GZ and drove past on my way to Clare for another pickup
Took $50 and Left Fire000 wrist band
Thanks Delta Echo

Yoohoo A FTF on the way to work!. A neat hide just where I thought it should be - although my GPS took me elsewhere (it hates dark and gloomy trees). A great spot for a cache - I had thought of it myself, as it always raises the image of a secret black forest with hidden goblins, magic spells and mystical creatures. Took nothing but satisfaction and the FTF badge - oops had forgotten to bring a trackable. Thanks Delto and Echo
