Logs
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.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Wasted a fair amount of time here only to read that the cache has been removed. It suggests to me, once I found the hide location, that the owner has not got the permission of the land owner for this and it should be archived. The person reporting the removal is a cacher without finds so I suggest that this might be the land owner letting you know the cache has been removed.
Cache should be disabled or archived if its not there,so people are not wasting there time.
This cache was found by Team PacketStorm and Team Indiana08 whilst completing their designated mission to SA. The teams set out together on the 01/02/13 to 09/02/13 to gain as many smiley's as they could in a short amount of time. Both teams logs will be exactly the same but I can assure you much fun was had by all.
Thank you to all cache owners who have placed and maintained these caches.
Day 2, 02/02/13, Today we had a slow day caching around Murray Bridge, we found 19 caches all up. We then drove down to Langhorne and set up camp at a free camp called Frank Potts Reserve so we could have a rest before our epic run the next day.
Took more time then it should have! Great hide.

We're in Adelaide for Christmas from Newcastle. We decided to grab a few caches with Mrs C's sister in law & nephew who live in Murray Bridge before ringing in the new year. The sprinklers were on and Mr 4 enjoyed avoiding them as we hunted for the cache. TFTC.
Started looking and then the neighbours came home directly opposite so ended my search without finding the cache. Next time.
Spent an enjoyable afternoon caching with mogni in Murray Bridge. Excellent hide. Deserving of a favouite point. Luv it. Thanks Sydneykiwi.
As advised by others, there is some difficulty retrieving the cache without being seen. In the twilight, after the sun has gone down would be the best time. TFTC
A very cunning hide, thanks for bringing us to this racy spot, and giving us a hint for our own hides. Well done for a memorable cache.
I did not want to hang around too long so I read the hint. That made for a quick find of a clever hide.
I took a tupperwear key ring and left a die. I only took the key ring because it made the lid hard to close.

Found with two soon to be reformed muggles, their first geocaching experience.... They didn't believe me that geocaching exists! SL left Tupperware key chain TFTC
Found It!
While the rain eased,
Picked up a number of caches from the 'Bridge,
TFTC and the hunt,
I'm quite sure we've looked there before!

I guess that if we hadn't had previous experience with this type of hide then we might not have found the cache so quickly. We had to be careful of all the passing muggle motorists, though. TFTC
Found while doing a delivery in the area, had some time to spare. Great hide! Took some thinking, but I got it. It's surprising what you can get away with when you hold a clipboard. TFTC
Last day of a quick flying visit from Mexico with bogonghazy. I had a chuckle when this one was on the list, as I have a cache back in Victoria with exactly the same name. Bogonghazy had done this one last year so he dropped me off and it was pretty obvious where it had to be after a quick glance around.
Stealth is most definately a pre-requisite here. Between the entrance and the busy road and the neighbours it was a bit of a juggling act and required patience in between passers by. Finally had it all under control though. Thanks to Sydneykiwi.

Last for the day. Why did I squeeze through the gap. Oh well while in checked out the little garden and then climbed over the gate. Thanks, marked this as my favourite for the day.
On the way to Radelaide for the Geo-teens Table Tennis & just had to stop in the rain to check this one out. Glad we did

In our mission to get 200 caches in a day we only gave two minutes of searching time or we would not make it before midnight. When we didnt find it straight away we had to leave. We will be back with more time to spare.
Thanks Sydneykiwi,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan.

Found at 1205 while travelling from Williamstown to Tailem Bend. No muggles in view which made for a nice quick find
Thanks SydneyKiwi.
Thanks SydneyKiwi.
Found on the second attempt, had to head off and return a few hours later as there was a hive of activity in the carpart first time round. Quick find once I returned and they had all left

Quiet and hence an easy find today.
Not a horse in sight.

Took GC Kri's Gift to visit.

Searched for a few minutes dodging passing muggles before I clued up! Thanks SK. I used to spend a lot of time as a lad on the golf course - caddying every Saturday morning. The going rate for 18 holes was $1 and glass of coke in the clubhouse afterwards. Slave labour, even then.
Found and signed on a day trip to Murray Bridge and environs.
Very clever. I had to dodge the groundsman who kept coming and going.
Found on 3rd, not 2nd.

Great hide, def water proof!!!!!! Enjoyed this heaps, pretened car had broken down!!!!
Great hide... We have enjoyed grabbing a few geocaches whilst in Murray bridge for the day! TFTC
I found this one after a search of the fenceline, very clever.
Certainly waterproof, thanks again Sydneykiwi

Fantastic hiding spot, well done! Made us smile Took sushi roll left Xmas bell.
A beautiful and warm day to do caching around Murray Bridge...Ms Bushies2 found it. Thanks Sydneykiwi.
A quick find in a flying visit to Murray Bridge. Was out placing a cache.....
In the area for work, so a quick find this time on my second look.
Just walked straight up to it for some strange reason.

Klem came up with a brain wave and got this one. No-one around the area or over the road so it was a clear go. Signed log and off to the next cache.
Astro ran interference to make the retrieval easier.
Little did I know we would be spending an hour around here later.

A day of Caching at the Bridge,
We felt like we were in a fridge.
We finished up with 28,
We did it with sparkey25, our mate.

Found this cache, not quite where the GPS was sending me, but a very clever hide, may not have found if we hadn't done one like this before, had to get geohusband to park car so people across road couldn't see what we were up to. Picked up TB and will move along real soon

Back in Murray Bridge today to pick up a few caches that I couldnt do last time, glad this one is back online, its good hide, thanks. TFTC
Extreme stealth required today as a muggle was busy working on his garage door directly across the road from GZ.
Muggle deception technique #7 did the job though [^]
Cheers again.

We guessed what we were looking for, but we had to try a few spots before we found it. Thankfully it was quiet today, except for the golfers down the road, and the cache was retrieved, signed and replaced in record stealthy time.
Never send a boy to do a man's job. The Astro looked and did not find. The frog found it in the first place he looked.
Nice find by the frog. Yes, he pushed in ahead of me after I checked in other places. Didn't you hate those kids who pushed in front of you in the school canteen line!!?? Clear skies (in 5 mins).
Found where we though it might be, but could not retrieve. This is one for another day.
I'm getting so see even more of the town
than I ever have before.
Was able to park to block views of neighbours as I guessed where this one was hidden.

Easy access today as the nags were not racing. A quick find of a well setup cache. TFTC Sydneykiwi
After reading the log of Liz and Bruce, I proceeded to the cache and quickly had the cache in my hands. Timing was crucial as the area is inundated with muggles. TFTC.
Brucie was able to retrieve the cache from where it had fallen and with the help of some local gardeners the cache was replaced and will not be able to be misplaced again. thanks Sydneykiwi
Though I was at the GZ and got "into the post" I'm not claiming it until the log is signed. Maybe the last successful finder mistakenly put it down the wrong chute.
Although we couldn't retrieve this cache, we did locate it and hope to enter our details in the log once it's been re-positioned.
TFTH.

Found it but couldn't reach it. Looks like it's fallen down quite a way and will be difficult to retrieve.
Otherwise a great hide.

Are you serious, there is no way you are going to retrieve that one easily, we could see it - way down the bottom, but kind of think it is up to the cache owner to either retrieve or archive - sorry!
This one is in there but it's deep down inside the left white post. I challenge any geocachers looking for a challenge to get it out. Bring a torch and a fishing line.
our 3rd DNF for today. The GPS had us all over the place, so we checked the obvious spots based on the hint & tried all the post caps etc But after sometime both geowife & myself came up empty handed
I am logging this on the 17th Jan 2012 as I have it as a 'found' in my gps! I believe I found this cache when going to pick my lad up from Murrayville, some time in 2011. Sorry for the delay in logging this.
Very cunning hide. Loved it but not the grass seeds. TNLN
Logged this by mistake!!!!!
Meant to log cache of the same name in Victoria. However, we will try to get to this one while on holiday in SA.

Found while the 2 little Miss E's were at the swimming inter club. Saved Mr T from being bored and went caching. TNLNSL. TFTC.
There was light rain falling as I searched but with the good hint the cache didn't take too long. A very good hide here Sydneykiwi.
Quite a few people out and about today, so thankfully we got lucky with this one very quickly. Nice sneaky hide. TNLN. Thanks for the hide.
Fortunately, the gardener across the road was busy in her own little world, so the only thing to slow our search was the traffic, which just seemed to get heavier as time went on [B)].
Found the spot, but still had to wait for even more traffic [8)].
Took car. Left badge. SL.
Hope this place stays as is - always hard to keep large areas of land free of suburbia these days.

We are off and racing around Murray Bridge today. A tricky hide. TNLNSL. Thanks Sydneykiwi for the cache.
