Well hidden ... The clue is useful if you use the verb as a noun.
 
Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺.
 
01-Aug-15
Parked along Devonshire St and walked from there. Clue isn't at all useful, but we found it anyway.
 
19-Jul-15
Found by Mary & David at 0915. Today, we cached around Adelaide for most of the day and took in two Events as well. Our first for the day, and the sun is shining. Love these old places and the history in the description. Took a while to locate as we were led astray by the hint. Found it eventually but minus its lid. Spotted the lid on the ground as we were logging, but the lid is broken and will not stay in place unless placed carefully. Really needs a new container. Our thanks to SIDEandHEEK.
 
13-Jul-15
Very good hiding place and pretty hard.

Needed to fill a hole in my calendar so thought I would come here to grab this one and a couple of others close by. Big Grin
Parked the car on the opposite side of the tracks and made my way towards GZ. There were 3 muggles deep in conversation across the road but I started looking. Had a wander around and the muggles didn't seem to be taking any notice of me. [^] And they say that women can talk. [?] [?]
Read a few logs while I was waiting and worked out where the cache wasn't. [?] Then still looking around I spied the cache. Cool Well I didn't think I could get it then so decided to go for a walk around the block hoping the muggles would be gone when I got back...and they were. [^] [^] Great thing about the walk was I discovered a cool place to have a weekend brekky. Cool
Went and grabbed the cache, signed the log and replaced. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache SIDEandHEEK. Smile

Wow, no logs for over two months hereSurprised
On a warm afternoon decided I need to visit mum, and after detouring past Westbourne Park found myself near this cache - so I did a quick stop, quick find, quick log and was on my way again.
No trains seen, and such a shame to see the stop gone - I guess the flats were built to be near the stop, but now no longer are - how annoying.
TNLN, TFTC SIDEandHEEK

CheersCool

We didn't have a pencil with us, so couldn't sign in.
