Had a good look around in a pretty gross area. Saw a used syringe. Be careful here for sure. Used our feet to look through the rubble, but honestly dont think its here anymore.

Sad
 
07-Sep-24
Unfortunate DNF for me.
 
15-Aug-24
Had a good look around, used some rubble to dig around a bit too to avoid using my hands but no luck sadly
 
21-Jul-24
Found it after some searching for entrance. Was in plain sight so hid it once found
 
09-Jul-24
Got to the location but gave it a miss due to the two big steel fence pieces being in the way and making it way too tight a fit for us to navigate down. Thanks anyway.
 
07-Jul-24
Oh my god, super tight would not do again. Dont know how I got in fences in the way and rusty nail pointing out of the wall watch out!
 
27-May-24
That was scary.

a bit too sketchy for my liking, i knew exactly where the cache was but decided for my own safety to not reach for it. I can understand how dedicated geocache hunters would get this but as a casual hunter this is not for me. The area where the cache was is filled with needle syringes and could be unsafe. Stay safe

Out and about early with Kolour on lovely leap day.Accessing this one was challenging, third time lucky! Kolour did the honours. Log signed, cache replaced as found. TFTC.
 
29-Feb-24
Im visiting Adelaide for the first time, here for the Mega which is also my first, with Willis007. It took us a while to find the correct access point but once there, I made a quick find. Shame about the rubbish. Tftc

17:30Wow. This took me a bit of wandering around to find the right entrance. A bit gross of an area, but I still liked the find. Actually it almost ended up with a DNF, as I searched all over, prodded and poked all the rubbish, and came up empty handed. I started reading the logs and found the pic that showed the film container. Then, starting to retreat, I spotted it, lying out on the ground, half open. Not at the end, but maybe a meter or two back. I re-hid it very close to the dead end (maybe within some 20cm of it), at what seemed like a logical place, and covered with some pieces of brick/building rubble. Yeah, a bit of a controversial cache probably, but I enjoyed it - it reminded of my early days of caching, 15 years ago, when I got up to lots of urban trespassing and exploring because of geocaching. Kia ora! Paldies! Thanks for the cache, Light Venturers!#10305

Out for long stroll around the CBD.I decided to give this one ago, even though I was just barely thin enough to make it in. Signed.
 
02-Feb-24
Great find. Nice and simple.
 
14-Jan-24
Found but smells horrible
 
28-Dec-23
Caching from ACT to WA via Ballarat to finish the geotour. TFTC. Yikes. Very mazey. Cache is still there and easy to find once at the end.
 
12-Dec-23
Attempted to look but due to the rubbish I ended my search early,CO may want to check this spot regularly as it seems to be a regular dumping ground for rubbish and hazardous materialsJames0116
 
11-Nov-23
Thanks light venturers for hiding this cache and giving us some fun chasing it down This was find number 942 for us
 
We arrived at the correct location for sure, but the very tight space was (is) littered with broken glass, syringes, and so much debris that you cant be sure what you will step on. Elected to avoid. Use CAUTION
 
28-Oct-23
Pretty quick find today as luckily I approached from the right angle.Definitely bring gloves as there is still lots of rubbish and broken glass around on the ground.TFTC
 
15-Oct-23
Walking around in Asheville trying to put pen to paper.Im pretty sure I tried every possible access routes. The last one was the correct one. But those last few meters, I just dont think I was going to fit. So I just decided to MoveOn.But thanks for hiding geocaches!
 
13-Oct-23
Today we walk across Adalaide and realy enjoyed it True the Parks and nice bildings. Most of the caches where found quite fast.Thanks for putting al these caches greetz from holland

This cache is relatively close to where my husband and I are staying. We arrived in Adelaide this afternoon. Were here for 8 days. Hubby is playing basketball in the Adelaide Masters Games. Im geocaching, and hoping to go for a scuba dive, if the conditions are favourable and if I can get on a dive boat.For some reason, I started looking for the access point for this cache from the wrong quadrant, then did the other sides before arriving at the first place that logic would have said that I should have tried. On arrival, I walked easily (fortunately) to the end of the space. Yes, there is rubbish there, but I am amazed at some of the previous logs regarding this cache. No one is forcing people to cache in any location. Cachers can choose to look for a cache or not. And what is there helps to camouflage an otherwise obvious cache container.Thanks, Light Venturers, for the cache.
 
29-Sep-23
I approached from the wrong side but went around and knew I was in the right place. I can safely say Ive never been here before, and may never return! There was definitely rubbish, but maybe not as much as previously? TFTC
 
27-Sep-23
Took a bit of working out how to find it, but yep, its down there!
 
24-Sep-23
Filthy as hell
 
22-Sep-23
Found but kinda dirty ngl
 
12-Sep-23
Cachers shouldn't have to come into dirty and garbage like areas, especially in such restricted and confined locations. I would not encourage children here as there is shattered glass, broken and exposed batteries, and enough garbage to keep a family of rats warm.

Bring gloves and if you don't have any be careful what and where you touch. Wash hands thoroughly after.

At least the daily cache is ticked off the calendar

On holiday in Adelaide for 8 days. After going to Coles to get a pwn I attempted to find this cache. I initially went down the wrong alley and after eventually finding it I tried a different area as the GPS said I was still 8 metres from it. After being stumped I thought this must be the place and found it. TFTC. Find 48 for me
 
16-Jan-23
I never would have even known this place was here if I wasn't geocaching. How interesting! Place is in desperate need of some CITO.

Find #171

Once I was in the right place it was a quick find.

Took a little detour while “Square Dancing” with makingpie to get myself “Boxed In”. I liked this one, though it was a bit stinky! TFTC! I’m glad it has been restored and was pleased to be among the first to find and sign the new edition of this cache.
 
27-Nov-22
Found it

Nice hide. I'm even more amused at the route I took before finding gz, lol. But all good here! TFTC from Tennessee, USA
 
27-Oct-22
I ducked into the city for a new computer keyboard but caches are always on the to do list.

I returned for this cache as it's now enabled.

A quick find was made here and my name is now in the log book.

I wouldn't bite the hand that feeds you, with no reviewer there's no game.

He puts in some hard yards for our state and posting reviewer notes is his job.

Cache retrieved and signed.

Thanks Light Venturers for this cache.

Things brings Goldy's total find to 1893 on the 27th of October 2022.
 
27-Oct-22
Thanks for the cache. Very tightly boxed in. Out with makingpie.
 
27-Oct-22
An easy find but a horrid retrieval, making pie does NOT like confined spaces. Oh well the cache was found, log was signed and cache returned.

On to the next!

25-Oct-22
Good to go. PLEASE replace the cache in the same spot as found, or it will not last long.
 
18-Oct-22
Yes its hand, please read my logs below. Post Reviewer Note also contains errors please take this in account (I guess a standard cut and paste)

Many Thanks LVs

Muggled out, also seems its a great hiding spot for workers of the Adelaide City Council or a 3 point turn training area for the newies.

Muggled out. Another time.

Must’ve been taken, not anywhere to be found
 
07-May-22
Thought I would be too fat to look for this and wished I had brought the kids. But when I squeezed in and found nothing but broken glass glad I hadn't sent them in. Just for adults this one

Wow what a great weekend I just had; a very nice weekend trip to Adelaide with the family and I got to meet a few cachers as well. Absolutely enjoyed Adelaide, the walk around town, the people, the laid-back environment, the layout of the area, the friendly cachers and the great caches too.

Day two of my trip and I was allowed to go out on my own for the day and cache away. I set myself a list and I wondered around down towards rundle mall, grabbing adventure labs, earth caches and anything along the way. Some nice hides and some fun ones. Some strange looks from passes by at points but no one stopped me at all. Adelaide is definitely a place I want to come back and visit again.

I had to call a friend a few times during the day, as it would seem local knowledge is required to understand a few lab cache points.
Continuing my walk around town and I came across this cache. OMGoodness this one gets a fav point. I walked in and all the way to the end, searching the walls as I went along and then back again to double check, no hide. Then I went in again and searched the ground, as there was so much rubbish on the ground. I found a piece of paper with some names and a container of sorts scattered in the rubbish. I made up the cache again and left it in the corner for the next finder. So happy to get this one. Thanks for the hiding spot.

As most, I approached it from the wrong side. With a quick review of the notes I managed to find the cache, and quickly get out of there... Not the nicest feeling!

Tight spot, but not where we were expecting it. TFTC

No go for us today. But I think I have an idea about where it is and will have another go!

Not easy to find. Tight space and not for the claustrophobic. Was not in the obvious alley space. Walked around. Found it.
Happy Easter 2021

I cannot believe this cache exists... And this place.
And I cannot understand the amount of FP.
I was expecting something different... something camouflaged.... But, another smiley on the face, and another story to tell my friends... about how I went in and out maybe 3 times... nervous about maybe someone coming over to tell me to go away....



#This Day#
After the mandatory 14 days of quarantine, we were finally able to go out. I am so lucky that our flight out of here is tomorrow, that way me and [Molnarim78](http://coord.info/PRXRMN2) can enjoy a full day geocaching through the city. We walked maybe 35 - 40km in total today. Non-stop from morning until evening, trying to find as many nice and rare caches as possible while still trying to stay away from the rain.

#This Trip#
We are back in Australia this year, even through this rough COVID times. Very happy to be here, indeed! For the first time we get to see a bit of Adelaide and a bit of Sydney, that is two new cities and two new states in which I need to geocache!

Too much urine smell for us! Had to leave
 
16-Jan-21
Decided to go late on a Saturday night thinking we would avoid muggles but unfortunately we disturbed a couple who were doing something that was definitely not caching about 10m from entrance of GZ (although they too may have been exploring some tight spaces)! Somewhat shamelessly we pressed on to the GZ and signed the log. Muggles made a quick exit haha. TFTC
