no luck, seeing by comments think it might be lost, was being stared at so had to go

A nice warm evening and what better way to enjoy a warmer night than a bit of caching with a Rat. Very few muggles so we could search in peace.

With no one around we had the place to ourselves to make the search but alas, like so many before us, nothing.

Maybe this one needs to be checked with the number of DNF's building even though a find has been logged. Maybe that was in error?

Hopefully the owner can check it out soon.

Nope nothing obvious.

I’d been here before last year but hadn’t been able to make the find due to attention from workers nearby. Today I came back here, but from memory there has been some vegetation that has been removed and I think the cache location has been cleared and the cache gone. It’s been a while so I may be wrong, so will place a watch to see if others make a find and if so I will return. Perhaps the CO could do a check and post if it is all okay.

Heute: 4. Cache von total 4 Caches.

Vor der Zugsabfahrt mit dem Indian-Pacific Express haben wir noch diesen Cache geloggt. Es war sehr heiss: 46.1°C (wohlverstanden am Schatten). Bei dieser Hitze haben wir nicht noch weitere Caches gesucht.

Google translate:
Before the train departure with the Indian-Pacific Express we still logged this cache. It was very hot: 46.1 ° C (well understood in the shade). In this heat we did not search for more caches.

You have to love the smoking night worker muggle that is wondering why you’ve pulled up and your sitting in your car. Eventually he finished and the cache was grabbed. TFTC

Arrived in Adelaide on the Indian Pacific from Perth and we had a few minutes after arriving back at Adelaide Parklands from a city tour before the train departed for Sydney. So is there a cache nearby ... fortunately there was! So we headed off to near where an additional locomotive was being added to the train. A quick search soon revealed the cache and we were able to SL and replace. Our first South Australian cache!. Then off to re-board the train and it did leave on time!

One I'd looked at grabbing before, but the area was full of people working and not knowing the area I didn't feel comfortable stopping (didn't realise that you can drive through to Sir Donald Bradman from this area).

Today however, the place was deserted so it was a quick grab and sign before heading onward to the next cache.

Thanks for the cache Cache_bug.

Had a bit of spare time before a netball match so decided to grab a couple of caches while waiting. Made my way to GZ and at this time of night I was able to park very close. Didn't take long before the cache was in hand. Signed the log and replaced then made my way over to the netball courts.
Thanks for the cache Cache Bug. Smile

Klettercache and me are making a 5 week holiday in Australia and our route leads us from Sydney via Brisbane to Cairns. From Cairns, we are going to take a flight to Adelaide and from this city in Southern Australia we will continue our trip by train through the Nullarbor Plain towards Perth, where we will fly back to Germany.

This is the fourth week of our holidays which will bring us from Cairns to Adelaide where we are going to stay another 4 nights. Initially, we intended to leave Cairns earlier but Jet Star has cancelled the flight and so we extended our stay in Cairns and shortened our travels around Adelaide.

Today, was our last day here in Adelaide and we had a reservation for the Indian Pacific connecting Adelaide with Perth. Our train was leaving in the afternoon and there was some time left for caching in central Adelaide.

We could find this cache while waiting for the Indian Pacific. We made a short walk from the terminal to the cache which could easily be found.

Thanks to the owner for keeping and maintaining the cache.
