This cache is still inaccessible due to water works that are being done in the area. We are keeping an eye on the progress of these works and will re-enable the cache as soon as they are finished. As far as we know the cache is still fine, just fenced off whilst the works are being done. We believe that this will be finished soon. The original time frame was 2 months.

Thanks for your patience with this one Team Geosheps.

This is just a temporary disable of the first cache we placed. There are some catchment works going on near this cache and the GZ is fenced. It will be re-opened soon.

The area appears to be blocked off for some type of construction work. So not a DNF rather a DNA (did not attempt).

Found after a short walk. WAs a bit cautious of the house nearby as I was flashing my torch about. TFTC.

Found by Wara Cub Pack Grey and Red Sixes on a muddy, but not too rainy night hike.
Lots of slippery mud on the way up here! Wondered whether the neighbours over the fence appreciated the loud gaggle of cubs as well...
Raksha had sought permission from the cache owner to swap out the container and log book, as yep, it was quite wet inside after all this rain. Cache is now a green clip-lock container.
Thankyou to the geosheps for a fun night time hide.

A muddy but pleasant walk up to this one. Unfortunately the container is pretty damp inside, and the log book is fairly sodden. I am planning to do a night hike with my cub scouts this Wednesday and find this cache, with your permission I can replace the container (don't think it's waterproof, which is surprising because it looks like it should be!) and the log book.

Early morning caching on my way to work. A nice morning for a walk and the grass had just been cut. Found GZ and cache and even though it is in plastic and the log in a plastic ziplock bag the log is still very wet and it was hard to sign. I signed as best I could then replaced everything and hope it doesn't get more soaked. Cache could probably do with a bit of TLC and drying out. Thanks for the cache geosheps.

Found safe in plastic to protect it from the wet grass around here. TFTC

Found with Jraz. Tftc

Well it's green...kind of. And very wet. Made the find after a short trek down with Roffer. The log is wet but managed to find a dry patch to sign. TFTC.

Tftc - found it! ^^

Tftc nice hide

TFTC found it

Could hear the creek from Resent rains. Hay fever small price to pay.

TFTC! Tsls!

Found before going for a drive with one of my nieces

Found while out for nephews birthday TFTC

Walksies

Cool spot.

easy as!

No water in the creek today but when it flows it must really flow. A quick find, TFTC.

A quick find with AussieM&M and brisal5. Thanks sheplaw for the hide!!

Out for another caching adventure with Aussie M&M - M and CPWanderer. Our mission to clear a few caches down south, not fall over, not rip daks and not spill blood. And we successed....almost. Okay so there was some minor scratches and a little blood. I also managed 46 finds and unfortunately 5 DNFs. Swapped 3 trackables and planted 5 of my pathtags along the way. Another great day.

I don't think the house owners wanted us to use their driveways and back fences so we were forced to find another way in. Wow that creek must push so water through it to cause so much erosion. Quick find as GZ. Thanks sheplaw.

A Quick find while in the area for the X marks the spot event.

Another easy find on the way to the Event

An unusual hide TFTC

My 300th cache. I had to laugh at the "camo". Well done. Took the trackable.

Thanks for hiding!

Found by Rachel

Another one I have been meaning to get for ages. Geodaughter and I found ourselves on the wrong side, but very thankful not to have to climb over or down anywhere. Cache found quite quickly once at GZ. Left geocoin, should be safe in this well-hidden cache. TFTC!

Second time lucky!

Tftc. Terrain rating threw us

Second go at this one, I was trying to hard before.

My muggle partner, muggle step son and I were headed to Morphett Vale for the day to visit their respective mother and grandmother.

Knowing I could get a cache or two there for my daily cache, and also not wanting to use an archived cache as my one find for the day, I had found Hogarths Hero's this morning and then went out to get at least one cache down south.

One became four, as it does!

Walking in, I really hoped that I was on the right side of the river as I had driven to the closest entry point that I could find!

Luckily for me, I was! [^] I looked around for a posisble GZ and initially wondered if I was in the right spot[?]

I admired the vegetables growing and also how people claim public land as their own

After a good look with my trusty torch, I found something which I almost discarded as not worth looking at

Luckily, I had a sudden flash of inspiration and made the connection between the cache name and what I was looking at!

Locus cache occurred [^]

SL. TFTC sheplaw

You certainly need to attempt this one from the correct side of the creek. A lovely walk, no barking dogs was a real bonus. Lots and lots of bugs yuk I hate bugs, and I cache LOL. T 1 x TB SL TFTC

Watch out for muggles. Two and four legged!! Also, check you're on the right side if the great divide!!
TNLN TFTC

Very damp log. BYO pen!!

Finally found it with Morris1100... 2nd time back for this one.. last time gps was new and jumping all over the place.. I probably wasnt using it properly either.. ha ha... TFTC...

Found whilst out on a morning cache hunt with Team Potter 1234. Left trackable duck to visit

Log was a bit damp.. Nothing too serious at this stage though...

Found it finally, log is quite damp for some reason

Quick find after a very soggy and slippery walk. TFTC

Easy find but oh so drizzly TFTC

Out on a drizzly day with wessarah and geo-grand daughter in charge of the Nuvi. Very wet walk and grass quite overgrown at GZ but fairly easy find. TFTC

Too Easy

All ready to begin our search at gz when we look up to see two muggles in their back yard watching us. Abort abort!!

Nice container in a spot we did not know existed!
Sharpened pencil. Signed log with freshly sharpened pencil as the pens don't work.
Took TB TFTC

Nice spot. Left Paddington bear travel bug.

Beautiful walk through this area with some lovely houses near GZ. GPS had me nearer the fence but found the trusty green bag. TOok TB and left Bottle Opener and soldier. TFTC sheplaw

Found on a warm afternoon, caching with Team Ermalesh.
Nice hide, pretty spot
Dropped in Samantha's Princess TB
TFTC

On a day out with TWDG. One of many.

Was expecting to have a dnf when we got to ground zero as grass had been cut and placed around trees
Luckily for us we searched further afield and quickly found the green bag with cache still intact
Merry Christmas and a happy caching 2012

What lovely back yards some of the houses in this area have
Found while out caching with Earthlight and The X-Trailers

Nearly missed this one admiring the house gardens closeby.
TFTC

A quick find on a morning out.

Found it after tea after visiting our daughter nearby. We were on the wrong side of the park initially but it all
added to the experience. Nice container!

Found on my holiday around Adelaide area. Another hot day and plenty of good caches to be located. Soon had this one spotted. SL TFTC

Found cache, rather damp, nothing taken, visiting from UK and shown our hosts the ways of Geocaching! Our first in Oz.

Quick find TNLN TFTC

Found easy. Just had to walk around the creek. Thanks

Looks like it has had maintenance. Back snug in an appropriate plastic bag.
Can I claim a FNLB (First in a now log book??)
TNLN, TFTC

Took Aaaaages to find! iPhone GPS was all over the place.. Few slugs on the outside but none I could see inside.. Looks like the logbook has been munched on though! Took pathtag and shark, left pencil, stickers and made an origami cube on site to put in! TFTC!

Just letting you know you might want to change description as is no longer in a plastic bag

interesting little garden extensions in this 'laneway' access. only interest in us was by a little pooch barking at our geohound. TFTC

Out for a successful day with BBOYSQG. Interesting find. TFTC

Finding the right way to the cache almost took forever but exercise is good for you, I think. TFTC.

Found this one ok.

Day 2 of 365 days of cacheing! Thanks sheplaw for the cache! Took nothing but left pathtag four fun in to continue its journey!

Great hide spot, trouble avoiding home owners though!
Cheers

Only DNF for the afternoon.

Second GPSr had flat batteries so could only rely on the Primary GPSr's GZ

Only one Muggle to be seen (walking his dog).

Speedmistress triumphs. A fun afternoon geocaching with my SA Geocaching friend. Quick interesting find. TNLN TFTC

Made it hard for ourselves and walked in the wrong end but finding it was easy. Thanks sheplaw

Cache container has being replaced. Many thanks for reporting this one. I guess over two years is pretty good. Cache is now slightly larger. Cheers, Team Sheplaw

The Container had deteriorated to the point of breaking into a hundered peices so the container desperatly needs replacing!

Found in the company of Ciril
Placed a sticker on the logbook bag to say I had found it as the bag was inhabited with spiders and I was NOT opening it!

Found with mtnlioness container has deteriorated to the point went lift it and the container fell to pieces. Stuck a sticker on the bag as the bag was full of spiders.

Container needs replacing

Couldn't find

Creek was flowing swiftly. Good that there is a fence along the sides. Very dangerous if one went over the fence.
Quick find once we got to GZ. Cache not in plastic bag. Log is within the container though.

SCOURED the three evergreens, DNF.

Placed and Retrieved a visiting TB

Placed and Retrieved "Are we there yet?" TB

Decided to look for this one as it was so close to "Old Man Willow" cache. Pleasant walk. GeoHusband spied this one right where the GPS Gizmo said it was. TNLN TFTC

Nice walk along here to the cache

Sigh... we'll keep looking.... [B)]

Nutso still flying solo with Geograndma. Took a bit of effort to find this one, but eventually found it. Thanks for the Cache.

Went into stealth mode here with a few muggles wandering in and out of backyards close to GZ. Thankfully found it quite quickly. SL and moved on. TFTC

Found cache with Amidcatastrophe 19-3-2010

Beware noisy Muggledog with clear view of Cache location.

Had to walk on by and come back due to the Muggledog and owners.

Thanks for the find, well hid.
Had to wait for a muggle over the fence to disappear.
TNLN

This was a good find for junior geo monkey, found straight away. Took the necklace thing and left a monkey magnet. Thanks for the cache.[:X][:X][:X]

Oh my goodness, there were muggles in their backyard, but they were friendly ones and were quite interested in what we were doing.
Quickly found cache without revealing its position!

The car enjoyed the shady spot. The beagle enjoyed the smells and I enjoyed finding the cache. Very quiet today.A muggle has left a note in the log, but the cache is still there! SL TNLN

Nice area with crazy river rock formations cheers TFTCSL
