This log is a DNF also.
First I went to old coords, widened search, couldnt find..
Went back to laptop to read log, and find I missed the updated coords, which really should have been put online as a log entry to update them on the page!
Went back with new coords, still no find!
Really needs to be archived if owner is not going to fix aftermall the previous 'needs maint and archive ' logs!

DNF I think this one is gone. If not the coordinates are so far off its not worth it!
Couldn't find it, even using the new coords and photo of a previous find, suspect its gone AWOL
Tried to find it again with no luck. There is lots of evidence of disturbance around the trees.
Please check.
Please check.
GPS was a bit confused under the trees. Evidence of searching around trees. I couldn't find it.
I will wait for a found log to show up, then try again.

Our 1st DNF today.
We spent quite some time here at around 1:42:00 PM, but couldn't locate the cache.
How many 5 prong trees are there on the LEFT side of the path at GZ? We think the cache has gone.

1. We think the cache has gone., after all how many 5 prong trees are there on the LEFT side of the path at GZ?
2. The cache page needs updating to reflect the true coordinates, not just as an item in the cache description or as a child waypoint..

Sunday stroll to seek a cache. Funny I was loooking on the left and it was wet there, thought if I were coming from the other direction then the 5 prongs would be on the left. BINGO TFTC SL
After a frustrating afternoon when our rubbish phone GPS had sent us here there and anywhere but to a geocache, went on a pleasant walk to Newman's Nursery. The GPS insisted the cache was beyond the nursey, so we turned back. In desperation, Owl said, 'that looks like a good place for a cache, have a look over there.' Raven soon had it in hand and there was much rejoicing. Took a DSI stick to replace the one Owl had lost and left some novelty rubber bands.
our first find for today. quick easy walk. found easily with help from the hint. TN L skull pencil top. TFTC
Found at 1440, even with the corrected coordinates we were still 18 metres from GZ.
Thanks Psalm 118:24.
Thanks Psalm 118:24.
Noticed the likely spot while re- reading the hint near the updated coordinates. TFTC!
We parked close to the nursery and found the cache quickly and easily, although the GPSr put us about 13m from final co-ords. The hint was spot-on, though. TFTC
After a few moments of crazy with the gps we soon had this in hand thks to the hint.
We tried this cache 2 years ago and were unsuccessful then too as the listed co-ords were (and still are) way out. I noticed this time (before leaving home) the new co-ords buried in the description so this time used them but they also indicated an area way too wet to investigate so we gave it away (I didn't have access to the hint at the time unfortunately which probably would've overcome the inaccuracy due to tree cover). I also note that many cachers have pointed out that the POSTED co-ords need to be updated - burying the real co-ords in the description is against the rules and is very unfair to those who don't have access to that info while at GZ. I kindly ask that you update them.
An easy find for my 2000th cache. Wohoo! Another milestone reached. Thanks Psalm 118:24.
Another good cache found fairly quickly on my holiday in Adelaide. Listing a bit confusing though. SL TFTC
nice easy stroll down the track, well hidden, just need to be careful of muggles sneaking up on you haha TFTC!
Thanks Honeysucker for the heads up. Quick find after lunch and plant purchases. Tnlnsl
Easy find once snoopy-lou helped me to get a grip on things. be-careful not to slip if it has recently rained. left small wand. TFTC.
Awesome location. My parents got married further down in the park so this location has a lot of sentimental value. Found cache after a bit of searching with Sneekypeak. Becareful if recently rained as can be quite slippery.
Took little frog car and Geo Coin. Left some stickers and a small wand.
Had fun with this one TFTC

Easily found after we found the right coords.

Found at 2:04pm
T: Despicable Me toy
L: bracelet
VERY Pretty!
Nice lillies growing along the water - couple of muggles were collecting them but we had lucky timing and avoided detection
Probably easier to park at the nursery and walk down, but then you'd miss the point of the stroll. Depends what you're in it for, the box or the place

The new co ord are better than the old one. But I still crossed the creek before returning to the correct side and finding it.

Needed the hint but then found it easily after lunch at the nursery, squelchy underfoot. TFTC
Luckily we read the notes in the description and saw there were adjusted coords. Unfortunately, they put us in the middle of the creek which didn't seem like a great place for a hide. We poked about a bit then finally brains were engaged and the location was spotted.
Tilk-cache (geoDaughter) swapped a squash ball of ours with the fuzzy penguin toy. Then we walked back down the track and went home, tired but happy. Next one is #200...

Sometimes you just get lucky, Found this one after trying to go to Newmans for a coffee. No coffee @ Newmans started a 37km search for a good Hot Chocolate. TFTC
This one had us mightily confused until we checked back with the listing and realised there were new coordinates - why not change the coordinates of the actual cache? The new ones are spot on, but easy to miss when you are paperless caching. Looks like the most previous log in the book was from a bunch of muggles - they sounded pretty excited (and they'd put the cache back more or less okay, just needed some extra cover!)
Psst, don't tell anybody that I found this cache while on a Saturday stroll.
Thanks for the cache Psalm 118:24 and Ginger Ningja.

Last find after a long days walking around the park, The coordinates I used were miles off, but fortunately I checked the clue, and found it on the way back past

Very appropriately named but I was glad it didn't take me too long to realize that there were updated coordinates. Found a TB that hasn't been logged into the cache so I will try and find it a new home too. TFTC.
Found with sniffer_dog took spongebob cards left big silver coin! Made camo better
Please consider fixing the coordinates on the listing. As O'Cholio posted in the last Needs Maintenance log, anyone without access to the listing won't be able to find it, and even with the description it can take a while to realise the cache isn't at the listed coordinates. As O'Cholio says, updating the coordinates is not hard. There's a visual guide at http://www.anitajo.com/geocaching/updatecoordinates.html, which goes through the steps below:
1. Go to the cache listing page http://coord.info/GC1QAET
2. Click the link "log your visit" (under Navigation at the top right).
3. For "Type of Log" select "Update Coordinates".
4. Scroll down a bit, and you'll see a checkbox with "Add a coordinate to this log". Select the checkbox to enable it.
5. Enter the correct coordinates into the fields that have just appeared below the checkbox.
6. Go to the bottom of the page and click on "Submit Log Entry".
Alternatively, you could just send an email to theUmp. I'm sure he's had plenty of practice updating coordinates...

It was the three amigos out for a night caching - what better way for Brucie to get back into the Adelaide caching scene. Thanks Psalm 118:24
Nice Sunday stroll on a Saturday! Used to have picnic's here with Mrs Kymbo B4 marriage.
It took me a while to find it because I used the original coordinates in the first place but I found it eventually. Nice park.
Thanks Psalm 118:24 & Ginger Ningja for the cache.

Tftc this was a lovely place. Where two of team lolly were married many years ago
Visiting here with our group from South East Qld, we were down here for the weekend nabbing puzzle caches but couldn't resist a detour to grab the odd traditional as well.
This one tested us for a while so we read through some old logs and eventually turned it up about 40 meters from where the co-ords said.
A nice area for a stroll as well.

It took a while to find this one as the co-ordinates were a little off (about 43m).
After reading the previous logs we were able to hone down the search and found the cache.

A quick detour from hunting puzzle caches in the City of Churches. The coords were quite a way off the final location but, the hint gives all the info needed when you can't find what you're after...
Found while participating in the SE Qld Puzzle Solving Group Puzzle Raid to Adelaide
A nice diversion between puzzles....
Took a little bit of time as co-ords seem to be aout by about 30 mtrs

Found with the SEQ puzzle solvers. A traditional cache in-between lots of puzzles today. We hadn't noticed the new coords posted on the page. It might make it easier for future finders to change the coordinates officially to the correct ones by posting a log? TFTC
We didn't have the benefit of cache notes, but with the many eyes of the group, the cache was located and our mark left in the log. TFTC
Found as part of the SE Queensland puzzle solvers group raid on Adelaide. We decided to get this trad as it was on the way to a puzzle cache. TFTC Psalm118:24 & Ginger Ningja
#33 day 2 on SEQ puzzle solvers Adelaide trip. Coordinates were about 40m out for our group with multiple GPSrs. Reading past logs and using the hint, we had enough eyes to persist and turn this into a smiley. TFTC Psalm 118:24 & Ginger Ningja
Found it on the third attempt,co-ords a bit off.
Watch the five fingers on your left hand.

After being informed by friends that today was THE day to get a cache, I duly organised myself to race out (between the F1 qualifying and the race AND while Bathurst seemed to be peacefully circulating) to grab this one. Took lanyard (for rally mad et al) and left chick. TFTC
Co-ords a bit off. Followed a first time cacher to the general area, but he had given up by the time we read the logs a bit more carefully. Clue was essential. Cache is approx 30 to 40m NNW of the GZ co-ords. TFTC
On way to home (Melbourne) which had been holiday in Robe SA then stayed at Adelaide for a week same time dropped my Caravan there which we will go back to Adelaide during the holiday in December - January to pick it up on way to Yorke Peninsula.

It is very nice up here but the path is under water. It looks like the creek has moved up. The creek was running furiously as there has been so much rain. Took a little while to find the cache as our gps insisted on sending us into the creek. Eventually found it nice and dry (us too). Thanks for the cache.
A very nice walk but path is like a creek as there has been so much rain. The creek was running quite fast too. We eventually found the cache but our gps insisted we should go down in the creek. We knew it was the wrong time of the year to do that so searched and eventually found it. It was dry and so were we. Thanks for the cache.
[red]Oops !! [/red]It is Saturday and I am strolling
But after following the trail along the creek and scrambling over the fallen tree I eventually reached GZ.
After reading the cache notes I strolled back a bit the way I had come and found the cache at the other coordinates
TFTC on the wrong day of the week [^]

Would never have found this one without the clue as the listed co-ords are wrong and even the ones in the description seem a way out.

Bit wet and messy trying to find using the posted coords. Luckily the iPhone had the right ones and Team_Waldron spotted the goods. TFTC
A quick an easy find as the cold weather was obviously keeping other walkers away... Just up from the GZ the track looked more like another creek.... so much was coming down it!!! TFTC
Found with taking the correct coordinates this time. Starting to rain so no muggles around. Another found of the closest to home list. TFTC.
Got wet feet looking for this, and gave up after ten minutes. When I got back to the car, I re-read the clue, and went back and checked the other side, and was rewarded with a find, 14.1m from gz. Took letter charm, left Roo. TFTC.
Coords still aren't updated - this could be very bad if you aren't armed with the cache description, ie don't have an Oregon/Colorado. Updating coordinates: log a visit, but choose 'Update Coordinates' as the log type and input the coords from the description. It really isn't that hard.
Went with just the description, three passes later we found it. Great GeoCache for a Sunday afternoon stroll. Our first go at GeoCaching and our first find!
quick and easy find
there used to be a great multi very near this cache called get your haines on this.
thanks for the cache
