Found by Ben with 'scargoes on a short night wander around our local area. The log was ruined (got wet?) split in half, Natasha managed a note on a tiny piece of paper. The cache name is often we've thought here...

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Sorry folks, I don't have another nano. I'll check out the area next time I'm at the shops and come up with another hiding spot for a slightly larger cache.

Walking from the Para to this cache , I had the opportunity to check out the shopping precinct.Once there ,the cache was quickly in hand. We did not even attempt to open the scroll, however, because it looked so fragile.I have photographic evidence should anyone want to confirm that we found the cache.Thanks for the journey.
 
12-Apr-12
Pretty small thanks Scott for the hints
 
07-Apr-12
This one took us a little bit of a search, which was a surprise. You'd think being related to the cache owner would give me some sort of insight into the way he thinks. TFTC

Log is full. Evidence we found it attached.

Clever cache. Yes, what were they thinking? Quite ironic really? But it made me smile. TFTC. (My first actual find ... my wife found the last one!)

A quick find after an AMAZING Indian dinner nearby!
Love the irony of this location!

Nice one mum SurprisedP xx

A nice find on my holiday around Adelaide. Really enjoying my drive around the area. Found fairly easily. SL TFTC
 
07-Nov-11
Today I was determined to find this! Third time lucky and third nano! I am glad the description of this was right because other wise it would have been hard to find! A great urban cache! Luckily today, too, not as many muggles around, maybe due to the heat! A nice quick find whilst having lunch!

Woohoo! My first geocache find Smile only took half an hour of using compass before I decided to use a google search to find out what a green magnetic nano is! Found within 5 minutes of googling Smile Sorry about red Sharpie but I didn't have biro (never actually believed I would find cache) & Sharpie was lying 10m from cache. Smile
 
31-Oct-11
Thought I'd go for a lunch time walk to find this as it is not far from where I work. I never knew this place existed, so it was good to discover it. However, I could not find it...I presume it being a green magnetic nano...I was looking for something small, green and magnetic. There were lots of muggles around and one muggle decided to eat lunch on the grass, so I must have looked rather odd.
I have read from previous logs that it was missing, so just wondering whether it is still there as I was right on the spot....sat on the wall and looked to my right. Anyway, it was a nice lunchtime walk and will probably go back to try and find it another time.
 
08-Oct-11
Yay my first cache Smile
 
07-Oct-11
I have searched here before when it was missing, so it was a quick find today. Thanks for bringing it back on line.
 
29-Aug-11
Thought I would have a hunt for the cache in my lunch break. Must have looked like a right ol twat lurking in the park, or perhaps I blended in. Think I'll come back when less muggles are about.
 
20-Aug-11
Yay glad to see its back on line. Some interesting history close by.
Cheers and thanks got the cache
 
14-Aug-11
Picked this one up on our way home today. Few muggle children nearby playing Mexicans vs Asians (their words not ours!). Quick find. Queer statue.

Sorry folks! Life has got in the way of geocaching, but I've finally given the cache a new log stip and a coat of paint and stuck it back in position.
 
21-Jun-11
Bloody nanos! It got lost in the car. I'll drop this one off on my next trip to the shops.
 
20-Jun-11
Has this cache simply been forgotten, or is it time to be archived?
 
12-Jan-11
Didn't find. Discovered log is awaiting replacing.
Can this happen some time?
 
10-Dec-10
having downloaded a batch of caches this morning, I did not see this was unavailable, so headed there anyway.
I hope the cache has been removed to replace the log, as I looked in the logical place and there was no namo to be found.
Nice contract between the council sign and the location.
A pic is available showing no cache if it is supposed to still be there,
cheers,
steptoe.
