Wow the sat lock was bad here, both my iPhone and GPS were jumping everywhere - made an educated guess from the clue, but came up empty

No joy for us today, because of a yappy dog in a nearby muggle residence, we moved on after a short search.
We will be back, thanks for the adventure.

Incorrectly logged as a find, an error while logging rather then trying to cheat of course.

This one is right out the back of my grandparents place. Even though I new what I was looking for (I have a neat identical cache myself) it still took a fair while to find. Very nice park indeed.

Listing re-enabled.... sorry for the confusion and time taken! Hint is current for the new placement
No good we could not find this one ... maybe I need to think about the clue some more.
Had a run of dnf's today. Don't know if it is cache blindness or poor sat loc. Will have to return another day.
Conference over ... on with the caching! As with the previous cachers, we too had tennis players to contend with! Pretty wrapped up in their play ... TNLN TFTC!
Lovely park and a great cache container, luckily for us the park was empty [^] thanks Bek
Found easily despite a tennis game in progress. They were too occupied to even notice me. Had to take the cache back to the car due to difficulty removing the top. The log is dampish. TFTC SL
Unfortunately couldnt find this one, with later attempt prevented by muggles. Will have to come to visit that (feral) racoon again!
First find for a long time for Strewth! - the Glen Osmond Baptist youth group, out for a caching walk.
TFTC Bek! (This was the first cache I (The Turner Gang) ever found for myself!)

With my PQ a day out of date, I had no idea if this was the right cache or not. Returned today having been muggled out twice and immediately found the old container plus stash note and pencil, so I combined it all, put it back and took a photo, figuring it would do as a find. Highly recommend removing the 'decoy' and adding a hint. Logged as found with owner's permission.

Hint added, future finders please try and find the new one - O'Cholio thats fine to count as found
Found what I think was the cache, unless it is the old one that went missing. It was lying on the ground. opened it to find nothing inside. Have placed it in log 3m South of logged co-ordinates.
As per my found log, cache I found was empty. Photo attached to determine whether it was the old or new container.
** Coordinates Changed From **
S 34° 57.448 E 138° 37.766
Distance From Old: 7.5 feet or 2.3 meters
A new hiding spot at essentially the same coordinates

Got this cache loaded up about two weeks ago before I left the USA. I biked up here not knowing that it was missing. I looked around for a while and found the geocaching sheet and a nubbin pencil. So I figure that counts as a find. It wasn't easy either. They were both buried nicely.
Was gonna post pic for proof and let you know the cache needs a new container...but it looks like you are already on top of it.
TFTC Nice place to ride.

I went and checked today and can confirm that the cache definitely is missing. Will replace with something a little different, probably in a slightly different spot too.
Thanks for letting me know

Didn't find it today.
But what I found was the "Geocache-Information-Paper" on the ground.
Could be possible that someone took the container...

While two guys were busy playing tennis we logged they were so busy yelling at the yellow ball they didn't notice us TFTCSL

One of the 108 finds during our ‘Adelaide Assault’ with Wessarah. A great day’s adventure, lots of fun– but tired the next day. TFTC
A nice quick find for us today. Noone about except for us mad cachers in this heat.

I was glad to get this one as I was muggled out of here a while back. I was in the area this afternoon so it became an easy find.
Cache was very exposed so I hid it better.

This was cache # 9 of 45 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our five day long weekend Adelaide caching Bonanza. It was a little wet for tennis and once again I saw no children on the playground, this meant we had the place to our selves for the find. My thanks to Bek-the(feral?)raccoon for the cache.
Found with Acts2YouthGroup on the last day of a short trip. Found early in the morning with the sky just starting to clear from the drizzle.
A quick find.
I went through the scouting system once upon a time but only made it as far as being a Venturer.

It was great, sorry I dont think I have the right date, but I did find it some time around then!
The Gangsters (The Rats, Big Matt & Shell, Farmer Frentzen and Steeba) found this cache as part of our record breaking run around Adelaide.

Ex Fullarton Scout leader! Been a few years since I've actually wandered around this park, grew up around the corner so this one was easy!
Mother and little son (?) were playing tennis nearby, but I just sat down in a likey spot and pretended I was busy playing with my GPSr. Found the container quickly and signed log unseen. TFTC
Found no worries with a low muggle factor today. Thx Bek for the hide, never been to this park brfore.
Caching with geofriend, who is a local to the area, has been great today - for me it has been a learning experience and for geofriend it has been a trip down memory lane
Nice easy find. TNLNSL

Found it while and about doing odd jobs.
Nice hide, but obvious to a cacher.
Easily done even with a couple of mums nearby.

Found this morning at 6.30am on the way to work.

For some reson I thought the container would be bigger.

Found by Mary & David at 0900. Called in yesterday afternoon, but the muggles were playing some serious tennis near GZ,and we gave it away before we even started. Back first thing this morning and the place is deserted, so a quick find. Our thanks to Bek-the(feral?)raccoon.
Found easily on the return visit back later in the arvo... place was muggled out the first time. TFTC
Finally come back without muggles. due to bad weather.... Nice hidden spot. SL. Thanks Bek-the(feral?)raccoon for organising the cache and hunt.
Nothing like cold wet days to do caches in parks next to tennis courts. With a break in the rain it was the perfect time to grab this one.
A short walk from the car, and found the cache in the first place I looked. Just what is needed on these cold days.

Yesterday I scratched around where I thought this one would be but with dog walkers and tennis players swarming all over the place I couldn't get down to look. Found almost instantly by my wife today at 3pm. She said it had to do with boy-looks vs girl- looks. Guess which she thinks are better! Me too now. I was stationed as the human shield for the duration of this very short hunt. At least I'm useful for something. TFTC Bek-the-racoon. Happy Wife, Happy Life.
Couldn't do it today as there were plenty of tennis players and also surveyors going through the place. I had a bit of a good idea where it was but no opportunity to get it. Cheers from the Posspet Boys
Found at 11am. We were happy that this cache was restarted, thanks Ferals.
This was our very first outing and find, and we had a soooo much fun.

Found OK, teased the nearby dog as a distraction, GGRRR, WOOFFFF, BARKKKKK. Had fun, TFTC.
Easier at night time when there's nobody about. Would have to be a lot more creative with the story if sprung though.
TNLN - Thanks to the Bek the feral Raccoon!

not a hard cache to retrive today so i thought. As i pulled up then it started to rain 1st prob ( nah that is a treat comin from the desert).The real prob was the muggle running with his dog who was scared of a bit of rain (city slicker), he took shelter and sat watching cache area. Rain stopped dog and runner gone chache in hand i was gone too.
After a bit of a search managed to find it ok. Managed to upset the dog in the house behind gz, has good hearing...Thanks
This took longer than it should have [8)].
Turned it up in the last place we looked.
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Bek.

We were visiting a friend at hospital and saw this cache on the GPS. We were thwarted by a local muggle who wanted to know what we were doing, but we came at it from another angle. Found after a short search. TFTC
My first cache find for the month of April and I wasn't fooled
I had expected the GPS to lead me astray, but it didn't until later in the morning when the UTC clock ticked over midnight
TFTC in this park big enough to sneak out of view of the others wandering around

I'd just arrived at GZ, and was checking the distance reading on my GPS, when I was startled by a cricket bat thwacking down on top of the fence. Followed by a small head poking over the top. Followed by 3 children, who proceeded to setup and play cricket next to GZ, as I wandered off into the distance. Sigh.
Last for the day. A nice park with a few forms of entertainment. I had to wait for some dog walkers to clear the immediate area. Thanks.
