**Didn't find it...**
Too good for me today...
Either my caching eyes weren't working or this one need checking...
Thanks anyway SIDEandHEEK...

well the tape wasn't rationed when you taped up the cache, that's for sure. found the co ords about 6 metres out but still a easy find if you look in the logical spot.
This one has eluded me for a long time, despite countless visits to the Scout hall across the road.
Finally found it after a failed attempt about 3 weeks back. It was unhid in the open which sort of helped. Found at 18:35 on 2 Mar 2016. TFTC
Used to catch this train regularly 20 years ago. Nice to come back to the station again. TFTC
Check up on cache. Duct tape repair. If some one could bring a tiny ziplock would would be great
Found today while over this side of town with some time to spare.
Only after finding did I realize that clue was a little too cryptic for me. Container ha seen better days.

Found late at night in between two trains flying past, what are the odds that late at night? Took a little while as I interpreted the hint incorrectly, but eventually laid hands on this one and signed. Then just had to wait out some night walking muggles for the replace. TFTC SIDEandHEEK!
Found it! Nifty hide with a nifty box.
Ps: Didn't sign log)

Found number 53 of 62 on a geocaching Sunday. Found it on the way back from the Sellicks Hill giant Buddha statue (Guan Yin statue) of Nanhai Putuo Temple in Sellicks Beach, SA.
Finding this one was not difficult. Nice hide. Quickly signed the log book.
Thank you for the cache, SIDEandHEEK.

I had lunch with a group of geocachers at the cafe up the road . We had spent the morning caching in the Winston ave area. Great day for all!
Nice spot. TFTC

Quick find when there aren't teenagers (muggles?) hanging around the small garden on the east of the crossing! Thanks for the cache SIDEandHEEK
Very good hiding place but you must bring a pencil or pen to sign log.

Parked along Devonshire St and walked from there. Clue isn't at all useful, but we found it anyway.
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.
Was nearly too short for this one, nearly. Then had to wait for an idiot with lights on full beam to re-hide. TFTC
Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache SIDEandHEEK.
Out to Dinner on King William Road but as we were early and with time up our sleeve what else would you do but cache. Found the cache and on to the next.
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.
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. 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.
Went and grabbed the cache, signed the log and replaced.

Was good to see the hawthorn scout hall looking healthy just nearby too. Thanks
I had been saving this cache as a safety for my streak but with my streak soon coming to an end and with a lot on today, this caches day had finally come.
A quick grab and sign and I was soon on my way to a lovely Xmas party!
TFTC SIDEandHEEK!

There is not much to the station !!
And not unsurprisingly, there were no muggles to stop me poking around for a cache
The tin was an easy find
TFTC, I was chuffed.

Was hoping to see an old railway stn but alas it was only the old shelter and train track.
Did pass an old shop which is now a private residence.
History is fantatsic in this area of Adelaide.
Took trackables to visit.

Today we headed down south to cache a few different areas with earthlight, a very quick find and i didn't have to watch out for trains : ) TFTC
Was looking low for about 5 minutes then stood up to stretch my back and there it was!
Wow, no logs for over two months here
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.

Cheers

Good cache, found easily, probably because of the direction we approached from.
We didn't have a pencil with us, so couldn't sign in.

Clue was good, looked for the wrong thing, then it hit me, had no pen though. Good hide.
