While a great little spot, it was too susceptible to being muggled so have put it to bed.
Launching another cache in the park in a more secluded spot.

Same again. I didn’t realize this had been taken of line.
Good luck with the rethink. I like the spot. Although a bit of a scrabble from the direction I came. Walked out the other was easy.

Agree with previous statements, part of cache is missing replaced as best as i could signed log.I didnt realise it has been taken off line. A great location for a cache none the less so i hope something returns here.
myself and Crystaldragon79 did find the cache and signed the log but it looks like it has been broken, because the paperss were scattered all over the grass. Will do a maintenance log.
Thought that I would get just one more before the rain set in. Hubby waited in the car. Loved the hide, just a little different too. The idea of dogs running free is a great concept too. TFTC TiedyeSmileys
Followed the GPS arrow along the lovely creek, debating whether to cross over or not.
Finally got to the vicinity of the cache, and spent some time searching before taking a reality check, yes I am on the wrong side of the creek.
Yes again. Is there a saying creeks are made to be on the wrong side of?
Crossed over the creek and soon spotted the lovely hide.
Thanks TiedyeSmileys for a great cache.

Logged this one pretty easy - out with waterlogged on the way home from the Geogaine event. Ended up on the wrong side of the river again, but once we were in the right spot we knew exactly where to look. Used the glitter pen in the cache to make a pretty signature Thanks TiedyeSmileys for a nice hide!
Found on our way home, after participating in the 2011 Geogaine Event with HGL,

Did this as quick as I could as it would have been hard to explain myself to a muggle if sprung!!! Cool little hide!!! Thanks Tiedyesmileys!!
Finally a hide with a bit of effort put in to it, most of the hides so far today have been cache for cache sake! A father and son waiting at the bridge on the way out headed in as we left, could they have been cachers?

Found the log book lying near the cache looking a little worse for wear. Placed back in cache for now as it will last a little longer.
Team "A" at 6-45 am
parked the car nearby, started to walk to GZ, geeez wouldn't you know it, I'm on the wrong side of the creek, quickly found a way across and soon had the cache in hand. container was empty, signed a $10.00 note that was in my wallet for proof.

Went for a quick roaming detour while out getting some landscaping supplies.
Found a nicely hidden cache.
Great effort.
Cheers and happy caching.

With the wife working and me out with the geokids this one had me on the wrong side of the creek with a very steep hill, so I told the kids to stay where I could see them and down the hill I went, across the creek to GZ, Found quickly back across the creek and up the hill.... That one was fun. TFTC
I had a bit of a stroll to get to this cache, starting off on the wrong side of the creek. There was no way I was crossing the creek, so a long walk around to get that last 20m to the cache.
Thanks TiedyeSmileys

I realised I was on the wrong side of the creek but I managed to cross it without getting my shoes wet. I had fun. Cool cache.

Just had a quick look after the last log and the cache (whole kit and kaboodle, cammo and all) is gone .
Will have to work on a new one.

Spent the best part of an hour on this one, but no Eclipse tin.
I did find, however, a small black oval shaped container I thought was the cache, (including camo), and tucked away nicely in a "cache" type hidey hole. I opened the container, and thought I spied the usual pens/ pencils. Oh how wrong I was.
It appears that we cachers are not the only people to frequent this area. What I found was a "cache" of another kind, complete with sharp syringes.

Didn't have much luck with this cache. Parked on the street then realised we could have parked closer. Then we picked the wrong side of the creek. Finally we arrived at GZ, looked high and low and behind rocks in logs and yet we still didn't find it.
Found on a visit to family, nice park, hundreds of kids everywhere, I mean hundreds
Have played tennis here before within such great sporting & leisure surroundings.
How's the serenity ?
Thought terrain was worth a 2 star at least.
You gotta love the eclipse mints - cinnamon is great.

Had some time to kill before a chinese new year banquet up the road so decided to give this one a shot. Couldn't decide which side of the creek like everyone else so took the most likely way. Got to 20 metres from the cache and I'm standing atop the bank of the creek. I'm thinking "It's about 20m to the creek I still don't know which side" so only one way to find out. Down the bank I began in my going to dinner clothes, then hang on I'm sliding, whoops I'm sliding fast now. I better just start running down the hill. But I was already going to fast for my legs to run forward so a great big superman dive at the bottom of the hill on the grass ensured my dinner attire was nice and grass stained. Eventually figured out which side of the creek it's on and found the very well put together cache. Highlight of the night really as the food was a bit marginal but the company was good. TFTC
Glad I chose the right side of the creek. A good hide - appreciate the effort. TFTC.
After parking nearby I tossed a coin on which side of the creek I needed to be on and lost.
Still it wasn't far back and this was a nicely put together micro.
Thanks

Headed out for a nice walk with what seemed like a whole zoo of animals today
This cache was a spur of the moment decision, and I'm glad I found it. Nice little hide!
The dogs enjoyed the walk, and I decided that I should buy some shoes with some grip. God damn I had a hell of a time in them today LOL

Clever hiding place - reminded me to always bring my walking shoes just in case. Nicely camouflaged. Thanks for the hide.
Went the wrong way at first but back tracked a bit and found us in the right area found quickly great hide. TFTC TiedyeSmileys
Nice little area to bring your dog for a bit of exercise.... There was a couple of muggles over on the oval but nowhere near where we were... Someone did leave their rubbish behind which wasnt very pleasant.... The cache was soon found, nice camo, and we were on our way just as a muggle and his dog came down the path towards us... Thanks TiedyeSmileys for the cache...
On a caching adventure with TBG. This is a wonderful area of parkland, pity we never saw the bridge at all. A very interesting hide. Thanks.

Parked in the car park on the wrong side of the cache. Walking towards it I could see the cache location but was on the wrong side. Then made the long detour around and found the cache. It was only after I found this cleverly hidden cache that I saw the footbridge, darn! At least it was quicker back to the carpark on the way back. Thanks TiedyeSmileys for the cache.

Find 07 of 50 in a two day caching run around Adelaide.
It sure was warm but I loved tracking down caches.
Thanks for providing fun in my Holidays.

The Noodler strolled in and picked it up. The Geodog thinks this is a good location well worth revisiting.
Found with Acts2YouthGroup. Found the cache easily enough with the good camouflage, but the log has seen better days.
This was cache # 42 of 65 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our five day long weekend Adelaide caching Bonanza. I really liked the hide on this one, sure was a cute dog on the cache page. My thanks to TiedyeSmileys for the cache.

Found at second attempt. The only place we diddn't look the first time, due to high water and slippery conditions.
A very clever and sneeky hide.

First find for our "newest" team member and what a clever hide! Well done TiedyeSmileys! TNLNSL
Searched for this one for half an hour with no luck. The 'high water' mark left by the creeks recent flooding suggests it may have been washed away.
Will have another attempt in the future, just in case. Lovely spot.

Found it rather clever cache with multiple false hides, its great! The log book is slightly damp though
GeoDitzy was a big help here. She has been here with Gemini7 so knew the hide.
Another good hide that i nearly missed even knowing where it was.

Logging again as found on 6 Aug but not appearing in My Log. First find for us newbies - very impressed with the hide.
An interesting walk around the dog park which is set up really well for the dogs. Will be bringing ours there soon. What a log!! Thank you for the effort you have put into hiding this - a great job.
First find ever! Stumbled upon this one almost by accident. Good little spot - although quite busy.
This took a while to find as it was disguised so well. Full marks for the camo.....its the best that we have seen so far!! TFTC
Oh I do love a hide with a twist
This one's now on my favourite list
Just drove 15k
Here to SoulFood Cafe
They have coffee one cannot resist!

footprints in the grass led us straight to the log , that was the easy part. now to find the hide, really appreciate the effort some people go to. clever hide,
What a lovely little park[^]
Parked away, so I could enjoy the walk to GZ. A new bridge is now available for crossing, as the bank looked far too steep, wet and slippery.
I wonder if everyone looks in the same hole first, as it cries out cache hole.
Worked my way around, and despite some resistance found the cache. Wonderful camoflage.
Signed log, and replaced taking care with the alignment to annoy the next finders.

Great, now I have the music from Born Free running thorough my head. Fortunately no baby lions around, so I was free to roam all over the log and check out all those hidey holes. Is it my imagination, or has someone deliberately set some of these up as red herrings? After thinking a bit more laterally, I found the cunningly concealed cache. Nice hide .
Thanks TiedyeSmileys!
