This cache has been scratched for 11 months with no word from the owner. Please archive.
 
08-Oct-10
Can this just be archived already? I want my ignore list to shrink! Big Grin
 
01-Sep-10
Surely 8 months is long enough to replace a log book, especially when it was only a scrap of paper in the first place!
 
09-Jun-10
This has been disabled for months, and the owner similarly hasn't been active on the site for months, and by all reports there is no cache to find.
 
06-Mar-10
no wonder we didn't find this... it's been disabled! Yeah, we can confirm that there's nothing there. We even climbed trees.

Excellent hide spot - SL. Thanks Sunny Bunny for organising the cache and hunt.

Quick find after a suspicious look from home owner across the road. TFTC
 
12-Dec-09
Looked for this one for about 15minutes without luck.
 
10-Dec-09
If the owner is not prepared to maintain the cache then this one should be archived.
 
07-Dec-09
Found easily and was dismayed to find scrappy bits of paper masquerading as a log Twisted. This need fixing.

Find 23 of 50 in a two day caching run around Adelaide.
It sure was warm but I loved tracking down caches.
Thanks for providing fun in my Holidays.

Did this during a night caching run with Skippy.

It has now been 3 weeks since the owner was asked to place a proper log book in the cache. The pieces of paper are full, there is still no log book to be seen.

The guidelines state the cache must contain a log book. This cache does not contain a log book. There has even been an offer of templates of log books, so there should be no reason why after 3 weeks there are still crumpled up scraps of paper filling the cache.

Obvious spot = easy hide.
 
29-Nov-09
The sun was out, it wasn't raining, and we were out caching. There was little wind, minimal muggles, and some freshly cut grass.

Having done the end of the matter, this was another matter. A matter of fact we found the cache.

A very easy find in most obvoius spot for a lost Ross Faulkner!
The logsheets really do need to be replace with a logbook, as they are full and logs are out of order with finders scrawling their mark anywhere they can find.
A nice oval this one.

Thanks

I cursed at myself for being short. It took me a while to extract it and I managed to put it back. Nobody rescued me!!! Terrain should be 2 for short people like me. [:o)]
Thanks Sunny Bunny for the cache. Smile

I turned up to this one and caught Flipper and Co with their hand on the cache. Said a quick Gday before grabbing this one and moving on. TFTC!!
 
22-Nov-09
I was coming this way for another cache so I grabbed this first on a busy Sunday afternoon when the fields were occupied by flannelled fools rather than Sherrin toting footballers.
Thanks
 
Found with Schatsuche on that rainy Saturday morning, sorry about the log being a week late [O)]

Cheers and Happy Hunting Shane4

A little bit of caching on a rainy Saturday morning. I was thinking Sherrin Booms.... but there's other Sherrin's!

Found at 2:30 PM. Relatively easy find, well cache proper but without lid. Looked a little more for lid but it's difficult to 'see' without 'line of sight'. Perhaps a little TLC is in order.

18-Nov-09
Thought we would have the place to ourselves but didn't reckon on a team of muggles training on the oval. Managed to dash in and out when they were on an outward leg. Managed to put our name on one of the scraps of paper.

Thanks but needs a better logbook = )

thanks, great hiding spot but needs a better logbook

Quack! Short duck had a hard time with this one. Tftc
 
09-Nov-09
did not find
 
08-Nov-09
The cache needs a proper log book or sheet and a stash note, email has been sent to owner with the offer of documents to print these out.
 
05-Nov-09
Found at 21:35
Signed one of the scraps of paper.
 
03-Nov-09
Quick find on a 1/2 hour lunch break from work.
 
03-Nov-09
it was a great find.
 
02-Nov-09
Found along with another Victorian Cacher on a short trip. The cache was an easy find despite like others finding the coordinates out by about 12 metres. TFTC.
 
02-Nov-09
This was cache # 12 of 65 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our five day long weekend Adelaide caching Bonanza. this was a great looking ova, we found the cache in an obvious location, once again we wondered where the log and stash note was as all we found was a few scrap bits of paper. My thanks to Sunny Bunny for the cache.

 
02-Nov-09

The muggles soon moved off when i started playing with my raincoat buttons. Muggle deception technique number 52.

Clear skies, TeamAstro.
 
01-Nov-09
An easy find on a sunday morning.
Co-ords were out a bit but it was in the logical spot.
The 'log book' will fill up very quickly so i'd suggest something a bit better.

Find# 590
5th find of the day.
Took: Nothing / Left: Nothing
Having commuted to Adelaide a day earlier than normal due to the other half having a Tupperware party with the other half of AdrianMc, it was the perfect opportunity for AdrianMc and I to go out a do a few caches before it became too hot. No activities on the oval this Sunday morning, in fact no activity of any sorts anywhere, except for a couple of cachers.
Thanks for the cache Sunny Bunny!

Find 781 My Way without a GPS
Found the cache in the only place I looked today.
Another photo opportunity for a scoreboard with VISITORS playing.
Thanks Sunny Bunny for the cache.

Found during an afternoon out caching with Featherwaite after the Paint it Black event. Thanks for the cache!
 
31-Oct-09
All quiet here this morning and we enjoyed the walk across the oval [^].
Our co-ords were about 14m out on a clear, sunny day.
TNLNSL.
Thanks Sunny Bunny Cool.
 
31-Oct-09
Found the cache while a Kookaburra was being slogged all over the oval. Saturday afternoon while a cricket game on is probably not a good time to search, but they all looked too preoccupied to notice. Thanks for the cache.
 
29-Oct-09
Had a look yesterday afternoon but were defeated by a couple of Muggles standing around, talking, and bouncing a ball.
Better luck today, found it in the first place we looked.
Wrote the log on a scrap of paper found in the cache.

27-Oct-09
Called past here this evening and with only 1 jogger to coordinate my activities with it was a nice quick and easy find [^]
Cheers

Well Sunny Bunny, there's no lack of action at the edge of the oval now! I got the message about the new cache and shot out of the door as fast as I legally could, but by the time I got there a crowd had begun to gather. Skippy and friend had beaten me to it! The three of us compared notes for a while then I came home. No FTF for me today.TFTC Sunny Bunny. TNLNSL.
 
26-Oct-09
Arghhh! Beaten by that damn Skippy fellow again. This time by only a few minutes. Had a bit of a chat with the flash mob before moving on. Co-ords were a bit off for me. In fact the cache was moving at the time I first saw it ( in the air between Skippy's hand and final location ) TFTC.
 
26-Oct-09
After coming home from doing the shopping I glanced at the GC site Smile and noticed Sunny Bunny had placed another cache out there, not knowing when this was published, I saw that it was only down the road and not far from where I was shopping.only 10 minutes ago
I casually walked out the door Razz with GPSr in one hand and some torn paper with coords in the other hand,
I arrived at GZ and thought i must have written down the wrong numbers because it seemed to be about 12 metres out, I had a mans look at the first 3 trees and then a woman's look at the first tree again and had found it.
Yippee [red]FTF[/red] for me , I walked to the car for a pen because I left mine on the computer table Red Face and the search took me just as long to find a Pen Red Face
I thought about writing a note on line for somebody to come down immediately so I can write my name in first Razz, but then I found a pen under the seat.
It was nice to meet [blue]How Do They Know?[/blue] , we had a nice chat afterwards

Thanks Sunny Bunny and the last cache I found of yours I got the FTF

Coordinates were about 12m out for us too. No action on the edge of the oval you say? We had to sit down and wait for about 10 minutes because a runner had decided to lie down and take a rest right near the cache. We waited him out, and then waited some more as he Slllloooooowwwwwwlyyy walked away. Cache was found in a few seconds after that!.
We had difficulty with the lid on this cache, it doesn't seem to stay on very easily, and would be far from watertight.

Freddo arrived at his old stamping ground at 6pm. Parked in the player parking on the other side of the oval. We used to live in Henry Street just around the corner, and I knew the area intimately. The cache was found in the first place I looked. Don't you just love that. Not sure about the coords as I was operating in BFE mode. It had to be there. Plainly. They seem to have put the Sherrin away for now and it is Kookaburra time on the playing field.

A quick find with my lovely wife before a funny movie. TFTC.
