Veni, non Vidi, non Vici, non Scripti. Decided to do this series on the way home but got to this one and couldn't find it. Was pretty sure I knew where to look but looking at the logs with all the DNFs it looks like it is gone. So spoke with a previous finder to confirm my suspicions and can confirm that it is gone.
No luck this evening :c( looked in all the obvious places. Perhaps we needed to look harder... but too many mozzies and big spiders to deal with tonight! Will try again later.
We walked past here after getting a nearby cache not knowing about the previous DNF. Unfortunately, we also came up empty, but it is entirely possible that we searched in the wrong spot as our GPSr is not very fond of power-lines of which there are plenty around here. There is a circular saw blade embedded in the tree near what we though was GZ
Maybe it's washed away and we're in big trouble!
Stuck my hand in every hole I could find.
Poked around with the elder wand.
No luck today

A nice quick drive by find today!
I do however wish my hands were thinner - should have sent Mrs KQ in on this one, however the first sign of 'maybe wet feet' she was out!

Decided to grab this one on the way home, from a late afternoon caching, light was fading but it was still light enough to spot the big black spider sitting on the cache, used tongs for a quick retrieval

Mr Tardis stopped by here to reminisce after attending the nearby Maker Madness event put on by the cache owners of this one.
I saw the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens. I then used a stick to remove all the cache retaining spider webs, EEWWW.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO.

A nice quick drive by for the afternoon. I use to play here sometimes as a kid. TFTC
Quick find by geomum whose child sized hands made retrieval easy. Geotween was a bit disappointed there were no swaps so we left an eraser for the next geokid. TFTC FLIPPER&CO
There were duck guardians at this cache today. Aussie Mary made the find and chatted to the duck. TFTC FLIPPER&CO.
Day 35 in a row for 31 days of caching in August. Out with Aussie M&M. A quick find for Mrs. M who then proceeded to go a bit quackers. Thanks FLIPPER&CO.
Found on a caching day out with Mr Honeysucker, Max and TilleyTB
Sorry for the late log...no internet!

Definite reminiscences of when I was here last and the cache wasn't! Easy find this time (but extraction tool was required).

Easy find but extraction might have been easier if Mr Hawkeye didn't have such large hands. Quickly improvised a tool for the job and log was signed @ 12.30. Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the new log. 2 extra smileys on the map today.
no good. lots of good spots to hide a cache but no cache to be found. thanks anyway...

Found a couple of obvious hiding places, but no cache. Given past history, has it been muggled again?
Gotcha!
Finally had a chance tonight to remove that nasty blue frownie from my map.
ZZzz..
A lot of good parks for Doug today. Nice hide. Log book has fallen apart. Tftc flipper&co.
Our 1st full day of caching in Adelaide, the much wanted rain for the locals has arrived, went out to find a few caches incase the rain sets in.
Found in an obvious place, difficult to get from its hide so should not fall out again.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO

When I was younger, I worked on the theory that what my parents didn't know, didn't hurt them, but as a mum, I realise that they knew more than I gave them credit for.
Found this on the ground so put in in the obvious place and used a little local camo to hide it

Driving home after seeinga movie then dropping my girlfriend off and saw this cache was online....

Quick find and some reminiscing of my own from when I used to work around this area.

While Mrs Sandalwood Cottage was at a Cupcake Decorating Class nearby I went out to do some nearby caches and get some much needed exercise after my recent operation and recuperation. An easy find and no muggles to bother me. TFTC.
Great hide, just wish my hand was a little smaller - only just got my fingertips on it! TFTC
Found where Owl looked last time. Used some extra cover, as it seems too exposed and shiny to avoid muggle interference.
Well third time lucky I guess. So glad to finally get this one off my list. Thanks Flipper & Co!
Thanks Gayle for the maintenance for us thirsty cachers. No muggles around, only ones doing 60 on the work wheel. Found skink sitting onto of log container so returning it delicately. SL TFTC
Dropped in a replacement, small container, log book & pencil only, if this one goes AWOL, we'll have to rethink the hide location.
so grab it quick, but watch out for small muggle eyes.
cheers

Didn't read logs before us, looked in the obvious place to where it would have been.
MAYBE, (High Maintenance) this one will be high muggled and not worth your while.
Try to reposition it first or archive it!

I had found this one last year and apparently my son found it on his own with no gps and we argued for weeks about where the cache had been so to settle the score we went for a walk he walks straight to where it's suppose to be and I check logs to see if you had changed its whereabouts. Anyway my son says its missing from where he found it. You might have lose this one the kids here destroy this park constantly and the spot where it was was easy to find
Have a replacement, will try to drop it off on my way home/or to work this week.

Had a decent hunt for this one but it seems as though it may have gone walkabout. grr. I was hoping to cross this one off the map too!
Found quickly despite the muggle dog walkers nearby. Thanks FLIPPER&CO for my 700th cache find!
Parked in the wrong place for this one, so geowife went looking, whilst I moved the car around.
By the time I got back she had already found it!
So obviously a very easy find!

Found on an entire afternoon of caching (never cached for more than 2 hours before). Nice camo, it obviously works as this cache has been around for quite a while. Found easily knowing there was something to find in this almost deserted park. TFTC Flipper!
Scoped with google earth. Got on my second visit and found quickly in obvious spot. Kids in the nearby creek told us they were playing a game of who could stand in the cold water for the longest. Brrrrr. Didn't join them. Thanx
I'm happy to get this one off my list. The new placement looks pretty safe now. Thanks FLIPPER&CO.
Used to ride/race our dragsters through and around these trees on our homemade bmx track.The old playground also used to be nearer to gz.we used to cross the creek via the two nearby water pipes,only the narrow pipe as for the brave,the rest of us used the wide pipe.Good to return and show the kids where we used to hang out.TFTC
After a previous DNF I headed out with e.gregory1 to find the replacement cache today. A quick find in a much easier spot than before. TFTC
A return visit after a DNF last October. Pleased to see the cache replaced. Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the hide.
Tftc, glad to be back to find this one this time, made a great end to a great day of caching
Please be careful when making the grab and especially when placing this cache bach. There is a guardian of the cache (Gecko) living in the hiding niche.
Great to see this cache back onlone. TFTC SL

Great to see this one back online and able to convert an unfound to found on my local map.
Thanks for the return Flippers.

Yay at last I can cross it off! Thanks Flippers! You might need to change the hint now though. The GZ host has had a lot of foreign objects put in it!! Looks like it will stand the test of time though! SL thanks again
I am very glad to get this cache. It has been sitting there as the closest to work unfound for far to long.
I left a micro calling card and a die.

Perhaps it could be disabled while the cache is not there then to stop people searching for something that is not there then?
Well, after a couple of goes at getting this one sorted out, it is now good to go.

Hasn't been found since august last year.. so many did finds... Is user going to replace...?
Have looked for this one once before but got muggled out. Returned early today and had a good look but without success. Think it must be gone.
Thanks for the exercise.
Thanks for the exercise.
Couldn't find this one. We think it may have been washed away as the debris from some sort of flooding are higher up the trees than the banks.

I reckon it has washed away, the under current has undercut all the stones and anything small is gone! Only the large stones remain so it can't be there anymore.
I had a good look but did not find it. I found a number of likely spots, one of which looked very, very likely. Not to far from the flat and a smaller rock rolled to the side that if it was covering that hole....
The water has also been up as high as the upper rocks. There is a lot of debris piled up against the trees.
Ill wait for a find before trying again. (I could be suffering cache blindness.).

Mrs. Lost Wanderer made the dash and had a look. Was in the first place she looked. Also meant to drop off a TB but forgot to put it in and didn't realise until we were down the road. Never mind, another excuse to go caching again very soon. Thanks for the cache Flippers.
Thought Dazzpete and I might go for an involuntary swim whilst finding this cache as the weather had made things a wee bit slippery. We carefully made our way to GZ where Dazzpete spied the well secured and surprisingly dry treasure. TNLN TFTC
geoP and Tourettes01 were on a girls only caching afternoon adventure.
After reading previous logs we made sure we parked on the correct side of the creek, the grass was long wet and slippery. We carefully ventured closer to GZ and searched a couple of spots until geoP spotted a likely hide .... bingo.

For the second time today, we found ourselves on the wrong side of the river. Luckily no wet shoes and a quick find. Picked up a pathtag.

A quick find once I worked out which side of the creek I needed!! Thanks Flippers for the hide!!
Another restored cache gets found! I tried a while back after the floods and assumed it was gone for good, but here it is happy and dry and fairly much above the flood line. I was happy just to find it so I didn't drop and swap anything, although the red rubber wrist bands would have been much prized by geodaughter.
Went on my way rather happy for the morning.

Thanks for getting this cache back on line (Squeaky or Flippers - I am not sure who to thank!??) It has been so close by but so unachievable! A nice find as the co-ordinates were spot on and the cache was located and signed. I took a very appropriate pathtag as it is the last day of school holidays for these 2 teachers and the tag was "back to school - watch for children". Thanks for a fun afternoon walk and a nicely hidden cache.
#92 flipper cache bites the dust, found by torchlight as our last one for the day, well hidden just like a sqeaky72, found after a short hunt TNLN TFTC
