Had a previous finder with me today, and he confirmed that this definately isn't there.

Not sure exactly when we will get over to replace this one, so we will archive it for the moment.
If anyone else would like to hide a cache here, you are more than welcome to do so.

No joy for me here either today. Went checking the logs for a clue, and then discovered all the DNF's. No finds at all so far this year????

Some GCA racing frogs are stranded nearby.... somebody please rescue them. They really want to move on.

28 February 2012 12:49pm must have spent at least 30 mins on this one to no avail. Will have one more go before I leave today! The only one outta 5 I haven't found! Aaarrrgh...!!!
 
Sad Unable to find. As i live locally and am vertically challenged, I even went back home and got some steps to search for it again, but was still unable to find this one.

22/01/2012 14:23 On the way back to Melbourne from a wonderful holiday at Encounter Bay. The GPS was pretty definite so I am confident I was at GZ. I am tall but still felt and saw nothing at GZ.

Mugles around however Alan was very handy to have around. Quickly signed the log and moved on. Another nice spot to break the long journey to and from Adelaide.
 
20-Oct-11
A nice easy find as I was travelling with family weary of my caching antics.... Perth to melbourne with only this and one other cache...

found at 2.00pm by Geodad, we had some muggles around but geolad was a great distraction. We had bought lunch at the local bakery and Geodad was devastated when we got to this cache and realised he had left his first Farmers union iced coffee one on the roof of the geodisco!! TNLN SL TFTC

After finishing the border track, and having a feed at the park it was time to clear up some caches in the area.

We had stopped at the servo to pump the tyres all the way back up again so Parrots beat us to GZ and even made the find, so all we had to do was sign the log and return the cache!

#1302 Found on our Easter camping escape with DazzPete. Our travelling companions had previously found this cache and thought it would be amusing to watch us in our quest. Luckily Dad has no scruples and the cache was in hand after a brief search - the Queen had absolutely no hope here being vertically challenged. TNLNSL TFTC tigersden - a nice place for an excuse to get out of the car

Went for a walk around this interesting little lake whilst the kids used the nearby playground before heading off to get lunch at the nearby bakery. However I soon returned to the playground for taller reinforcements as I didn't have a spare chair handy, quick find and sign of the log before returning to the car.
Thanks for the cache Tigersden Smile
 
06-Apr-11
In Bordertown for a lovely wedding this afternoon. This was my first claim for today. What a peaceful spot. Thanks
 
20-Mar-11
Everything about this cache smacks of smallness. The lake, the ramp (wtf?), the container, even the pencil. Luckily Mr O wasn't so small and made the find after searching many unsavoury spots by touch! TFTC.
 
05-Mar-11
There were muggles nearby !!
But after a long drive from the last cache just down the highway it felt good to have a stretch Smile
I may have overdone the stretching a tad, but the muggles didn't notice what I was really up to Razz
That's one small boat ramp !!
TFTC.

It was pleasing to see members of a family making full use of this play area. The cache was a quick find for the taller of the 2y'stassies (the other didn't stand a chance). TFTC tigersden and for bringing us to this area.
 
21-Feb-11
This one provided a minor challenge for me and a bit of fun retrieving but since I was the only one in the park on this Monday lunchtime
I could take my time.
Thanks tigersden

Yeah Yeah Yeah Found it this time because it was missing last May 2010. Mygeohusband helped me with it. Smile

Lovely spot - the locals are lucky to have this pretty area for relaxation, aren't they? I don't have duck's disease (at least I don't think I do) as I was able to gather the cache quite quickly.

Found on the way to Adelaide for a caching trip with Team Crackers, it was getting late and no one was around so it made for an easy find
Thanks tigersden for the cache,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan
 
28-Jan-11
Traveling to Adelaide with The Coffee clan this was our last cache before stopping for the night. At 11 0'clock at night there were no muggles around, Mrs Coffee spotted the cache, Mr Coffee retrieved it and Mrs Crackers thought to herself that if she was there alone that she wouldn't have been signing the log book today.
Thanks tigersden for the cache

We origonally went looking for this on the 4th of Jan but the padiwan needed to go to the toilet quick smart, so we decided to hunt for this on our way back from Melb (to Adel).

We then made the desicive stop after a pretty expensive lunch at the bakery. A nice easy find.

Have to log this one as a DNF, but we think we know where it is, but due to ducks disease were were unable to put our hands on it. Darn!
 
28-Dec-10
Tried this one on the way to Adelaide before Christmas but it was way too busy to retrieve.
Successfully captured it on our way home today with very few muggles around.
Thank goodness my geohusband was with me as I do have duck's disease.
Thanks tigersden

Stayed the night with a friend of Ingrid, so we could all attend a 50th b'day party at Mundulla.
Sunday morning, I was fresh and ready for caching, having been the 'designated driver', unlike others who were a little on the seedy side.
This park was calm and peaceful. Not surprising considering the weather - windy, cold and raining. Summer in December in Bordertown! Huh! Must be climate change!
A quick find and onwards.
TFTC.

Rocky Glen Grommets were in Bordertown for basketball practice, a session at the Skate Park and a cache - visiting friends in nearby Mundulla, their Grom3 was happy to experience the joys of caching - and he sat easily on top of his brother's shoulders! Lovely location.

We looked long and hard back in April of 2010, but as it turns out the cache wasn't there then. This time it was a straightforward walk up and grab. Thanks tigersden.
