After so long and so many complaints of the location of this cache it is time to go. I found a small proportion of cachers who don't like this type of cache to be very narrow minded to realise there is actually families who love a cache like this as well as others who like to be a kid for the day. In future just press the ignore button and move on, but as we found a few don't move on. One of our favourite caches of all time archieved.
Checked all the Lego, the only thing I got was a handful of spider webs. Great hiding spot though!
Came and looked with hevwalker today. We looked in all the LEGO. Couldn’t find any cache. There does appear to be a lego piece missing from the set.
Last legs of my journey to Australia! Couldn’t leave without getting at least one cache!
Thanks for the find! All the way from Canada

This one was DNF'd on July 30 due to Muggles, but today there was a brief moment of Muggle-Free-ness so in I went and made a stealthy and quick find. SL at 10:45 on Sat 12 Aug 2017. TFTC McKee Clan
I'm sure I know where this one is but the Muggle factor was intense today, I just didn't get a look in. (Sun 30 July 2017) around 14:35. TFTH McKee Clan, i will return
Out for a caching day with bluewrentit, done this one before. Tried twice throughout the day, but on a sunny Sunday, it was in use both times, will log my TB visit just this once.
With an unexpectedly free Saturday, Owl collected the temporarily bereft SA Sewer Rats for a day of far too much walking, but a satisfactory number of caches. This was one that had thwarted Owl previously due to an excess of muggles. Today, with the coast finally clear, it nearly thwarted her again. Fortunately, the Rat's fingers were longer than Owl's feathers and she was able to make the find.
Found tonight whilst staying in the area for work. Needed a little fresh air TFTC got there eventually.
Found while on an afternoon run with Wal & Ol prior to an excellent Caberet Fringe Festival show. Enjoyed afternoon tea near the park while waiting for an opportunity to enter the plaground childless. TFTC!
Found on a roundabout drive to a Cabaret Fringe Festival show with Pony1966. Had to wait quite a while having afternoon tea before the muggles thinned! Great hide, fave point form us. TFTC.
Trudi found it. With Joanna and Unssy. 3 ladies without kids in a playground looking suss on mothers day.
Day Seventeen of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are settling in at Semaphore in Adelaide. We dragged out the deadly treadlies and rode the coastal trail. There looked like quite a few on the map, but we ended up riding more kilometres than we found caches. An awful lot of caches still listed that were not there (and that doesn't count our DNF's!)
We had no chance heading north today - the playground was pack with a school group.
On our southerly trip though, it was empty, so we raced in.
Using the clue lead to an immediate find, and we were off.
Thanks, Robmc.

#11898. Day 17 of our SA holiday. Our first day based in Semaphore so time to explore on the bicyles and hope to pick up several of the nearby caches. A forelorn hope as it turned out, as we kept rocking up to caches that are actually missing in action and then there were our other DNF's also. I did manage to sign 23 caches on a 30km ride and gathered another 6 DNF's for my growing SA collection.
Amazingly, on our bike ride northwards there was a group in school uniform using the playground. We hoped it would be all clear on our return and it was so Rob dived in for a quick find and sign and now it is time to head back into the head wind for a well-earned rest.
Thanks McKee Clan

Tried before but cache had gone missing. Back now but plenty of Muggles in Legoland. Visited earlier in the day but too many small muggles but by late afternoon was only children on the swing. TFTC.
Found a while ago, just logging it now. Pretty chill cache a friend showed me.
Quick find with FerociousFlea while in Adelaide for the Brother-In-Law's 50th birthday.
No problems finding this one.

I (Ava from Beavar) got to play Lego and all over the rest of the play equipment and then helped Ma & Pa Harrowang find the cache. They said I was the perfect decoy! I took an eraser for my collection. TFTC McKee Clan
Exploring Port Adelaide on our second last day of our holiday in SA. We brought our own 9yo grand daughter as the perfect decoy to help find this cache. SL at 1.15pm Took: eraser LN #4322 TFTC McKee Clan P. S. An unplanned cache find - often happens like that on holidays!
When we arrived, there was a playground free of kids. Different story moments later. I started to back out - I don't like searching in an area swarming with kids - but Apty insisted on continuing the search. Cache found, and hopefully remains safe.

We were driving past ... "Look, there's no kids on the playground!" It was a blustery, sometimes rainy day so Chelle pulled over. We headed into the handy carpark and as we got out 3 young girls came running across the park. Then a lady with a pusher, then 2 cars pulled up.
The name said it all and cobwebs were disturbed before the right one was explored.
Dinosaurs danced for a temporary reprieve from captivity and all stealth employed to replace.

Muggles about but did not hinder me on finding this well placed cache. Beautiful day for lunch time geocaching at the beach. Thanks Mckee Clan for the hide.
When I was there with a friend to play basketball we went on the playground and I had a look for it (have already found it) and it was not there
Not found since September so after thoroughly searching fear it may have been muggled away
Not able to be found on Sunday 13/12/15 may need to be replaced or slightly different part of the park lots of bugs in and around Lego parts
tftc found after school pick up with the kids on this beautiful day 31 August 2015 4:03 PM
Out for a caching night by myself.
So glad I did this out night when there was no one around, it made searching for the cache a heap easier.
Cheers for the cache and the memories.

Suscoe's 36th find of 42 for today.
It was a glorious day with sunshine and almost no breeze as we wandered around the Port area and beyond.
A neat bit of searching and searching finally located the cache.
Thanks goodness for that.
Thanks to the McKee Clan for placing this cache here.

Saved this one for after dark as we are non parents and have no small humans to borrow. Quick find and sign and on our way to 1000! This was find 999!!! TFTC SL TNLN
Found today with Myrtie. Cache owner should seriously consider moving this cache as placement in a playground is incredibly awkward for people to be searching around in especially when they don't have kids. This is also against geocaching placement rules.
"Geocachers may feel uncomfortable searching for a cache near children or parents with children. For this reason caches will not be allowed on play equipment or within or close to playgrounds. Nor will caches be allowed on school property, boundaries or within site of the school buildings or recreation areas. "
Please consider moving to even slightly outside the playground border. I'm sure there are good hiding spots within metres of the border and it's not as suspicious as actually having to go into a playground to find.

Found with my two sons when we decided to come to the playground since auskick was cancelled. Had a feeling the playground would be empty because its blowing a gale and raining every so often. Replace eraser with a piece of Lego fittingly lol. Unfortunately it seems the cache has been ransacked as the only thing in it now is one item and the notebook for signing.
This one was great. Excellent hiding spot. My 7 year old took the spinning top and replaced it
Great hiding place, we took the kids to play in the park on our way back to the airport and with luck it was in the first place I looked. The place was crawling with kids, but my own kids were a great disguise. We signed the log and replaced the dolphin keyring with a small spinning top.

My first Aussie cache. It was a fun find. Took a little search but sat a while and pondered, then there it was.
Decided after last visit that a night time return was required to get the playground caches (and a few others).
Thanks for the cache McKee Clan

Had to be super stealth as there were muggles on the play ground. Lucky we have a 6 yr old to disguise what we're doing. TFTC it's a great hide!
