Did a thorough search but couldn't find it. The clue was found but still no cache...
Found after a bit of of searching, hard to put back into place though, have fun!
Found it lying on the ground next to its home.signed the log and tucked it back away. Tftc!
Called around today and replaced container and paper.
No pencil, so bring one with you.

The clue helped and a quick find was made [^] on Sunday morning of 26 March 2017. SL at 10:19 and returned safely with no Muggles anywhere. The cache and contents are all good and dry [^] TFTC MalanDi 
Day Twenty five of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are still at Semaphore in Adelaide. Deadly treadlies out and loaded, and a trip to and around Port Adelaide. A nice historical area, and very quiet on a Saturday morning.
The street leading up to the park was packed with people taking recyclable contains back! The park was empty though.
A neat little hide, BB replaced the log that was chockers.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12024. Day 25 of our SA holiday. We are staying so close but still haven't visited the Port Adelaide area that seems to be a good place to visit by bicycle. A later start but a pleasant few hours riding around visiting caches that are missing, having DNF's and finding a few.
Glad we weren't going to the nearby Recycling depot. There was a huge queue. We rode past and stopped at the plaque near the shelter. Good clue and we soon had the container to hand. There were two small pieces of paper as logs that were full. Replaced with a proper log sheet in a plastic bag.
Thanks MalanDi

Out with Normanville on a very hot afternoon. Really should have headed home before now but did this one for you MalanDi. Well constructed. Hint great. Far to hot for Port Misery today. TFTC
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Needed cache for the day and was travelling around for work in the area. Was passing close to this one and decided that this would be the target. Detoured in, parked nearby and wandered in. Definitely needed the hint as true to form the GPS was all over the place. Soon spotted the obvious, made the find. Log sheet was full so added a clean log sheet from an old cash register receipt form the wallet. Signed and replaced.
Nice little park.

By chance while researching some other service related matters, I stumbled upon the two links below. Both are newspaper articles describing the PA WSA from '43-'44. At this point in time it seems the main focus of work involved raising money for POW's.

I stopped the pushbike for a poke around this memorial place for a cache 
A likely spot was quickly spied,
No cache hidden there ?? [:o]
It sure looked like a possible spot,
and the clue fit
Lucky for me I didn't give up on this one !!
I spied it hiding elsewhere

Second time here. Out and about with I Love Warm Jumpers, my niece. Log was full so added a strip of paper. TFTC
Lovely little park in such an old area. Some of the buildings through here are so nice, if a little bit run down. Thanks for the cache!
A cool cache in what might be a very busy location at the wrong time. No problems today. Thanks MalanDi for the fun.
#3077 - While visiting the train museum I did a short walk to find some for me log free caches, TFTC
Out with MittonsMadness and GeoDaughter. Coords are a little off but the hint is spot on. Nice camo, can be overlooked so look carefully
Nice quick find in a park which offers peace and quiet from the nearby bustle...
