Sorry guys, yes it has been muggled... but think we will archive rather than replace this one...

Having found this previously it isn't there anymore, and requires replacement.

No luck today but we did stop and smell the roses. May need to be checked with a few DNF.

No luck for us today and we were with previous finders who thought they knew where it should have been.

16/01/2012 14:46 On holiday in Encounter Bay from Melbourne. Off to Goolwa (and Strathalbyn) today to pickup up a pair of wooden boats bought by Eagle Eye for his collection and to enjoy the area. Given the listing instructions There are limited places it could be. Checked them but like the recent hunters I found nothing.

Looked in likely spots but couldn't find it. Cache creep or muggled?

Could not find this one have now had 2 attempts. After the last log wondered if it has been muggled?

Found by my family while on a day out - weren't even looking for it but was out in the open and one of my sisters thought it could be a cache. Placed it back where they thought it would be hidden. Thanks =)

Nice spot. Covered it up a little better. Cheers!

Nice hide. Cheers!

Good spot tftc

S.A is so clean & tidy Beautiful Place. However this cache not so easy.Looking here & there between showers. TFTH

Passing Turku on our way south for a weekend of caching we had to have a go at all out Strathalbyn DNF's. Second time around and we still thought it was gone until geoD had another look and found the hide.

Nice day to be out cache hunting....easy find!

As there was a muggle family camped on top of GZ for a multi we decided to attempt another in the same area. there were many people out enjoying the wonderful spring day.

We found the likely hide but it was completely empty.

TFTH

Cool

Often had lunch here when the kids were smaller, very picturesque

Nice hide... TFTC took path tag & dropped GC...thanks Contact

great hide in a beautiful spot! TFTC

What a gem of place this little park is! I can imagine lots of people get their wedding photos taken here. Relatively quick find. Took nothing, left something. TFTC. Cache #865.

Easy find by B2.
They all seem to know just where to look now!

On way home stopped for lunch and quick find

Stopped for a BBQ with a quick cache to round off a lovely lunch. TNLN. TFTC

Very nice hide like this one photos help alot

Definately a thorn between two roses. TNLN - TFTC

Despite the clue I could not find it and to make matters even more complicated it was Mothers day so very hard not to attract attention.

I searched and searched I lifted rocks, lids peered up pipes, inspected drains, stuck my finger spots thatI wouldn't normally do and it still beat me. how frustrating when another cacher had found it the previous day.

Even with quite a few muggles around soon found after thinking about clues.Great hide. Thanks Contact Zero

Found while on a drive to Strathalbyn and back. Stopped to smell the roses for quite a few minutes until I put my brain into gear and found the cache! SL. TFTC.

Day 266 of non-stop caching.

Found on a relaxing day in the company of some great friends that also happen to be the owner of this particular cache.

This area would smell divine in Spring!!
Nice lil neat cache!

Replaced rusty old cache tin which was proving for some to be too difficult to open. Nice new plastic one now

after admiring the view I took a chance at this one , but after a short search nothing.. oh well no more time left gotta go.. thanks

A lovely day out on Easter Saturday with Roondogg and Sandflyes

A lovely spot to visit. Fun day out with Bmaz and Sandfly's!

After finding another cache very closeby, we hopped, skipped & jumped over here .
After examining the decoy, quickly found the cache [8].
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Contact Zero.

Easy enough find

A few problems before we found the right location. Geo-dog enjoyed running around while we were searching. Plenty of muggles around but well protected hiding spot. TFTC

Well protected area which made it a good spot for a cache even when there were plenty of muggles around. TFTC

found after a bit of a look. nice area

found during some late night (early morning) caching
very quick find, tftc

TB "the (too much) duffman" passing through

Found no worries today. The swimming pool needs a clean. Thx Contact Zero for the hide.

Found easy but opening container was the hardest bit. Thanks

Why plant Roses at home when you can smell them here
Nice gardens
Thanks Contact Zero

Nice one and enjoyed seeing the flowers closeup. thanks Contact Zero

Stopped off for walk round park, last here in 2002! Then a chai tea in the local coffee shop
Dropped off TB

We love visiting this lovely town the roses were lovely.

#478 1st of 8 in a run from Mt Barker to Victor Harbour. Great park here in Strathalbyn. No muggles around and sheltered at GZ anyway so geowife soon had cache in hand (but had to give it to hubby to open it tho!). Very nice area and good hide. Thanks Contact Zero.

Beautiful day in Strath, found easliy even with muggles around as you can conceal what you are doing fairly well in this spot, TFTCSL [^]

found it... after about 15 mins... but was searching in the dark...

I sat in the right spot - that's what it took. Container was almost rusted shut - took a lot of effort to open. Might need a new one in future. TFTC

I think this is the third time I've been here for a cache. It's amazing how many smilies one wall can give you. The other two caches haven't lasted too long though, so I wont be surprised if I get many more smilies from the wall.

Really great job that they have done with the swimming pool over the water. A lovely spot to cool down, and enjoy the park.

Found It!
Found easily despite the fact that this was my 2nd attempt
TFTC

Logging this in the 18/1/12 as I have done it in the last 18 months or so... Sorry for the late log, just found it as 'found' in the gps!

Quick find. The roses smelled nice. TFTC

This was a hard one. Not because of the cache itself but because it required a lot of stealth. GeoWife ended up actually finding it.

Nice Area TNLN

Nice drive on a lovely public holiday. Very sneaky - took ages to find! Found 7 in all from Clayton to Adelaide.

We are staying at Mrs Chippyroos parents for Christmas in Strathalbyn and took our two year old nephew and Grandma out to find their first cache and smell the roses. TFTC

Nice little park. Took about 4 minutes and 30 seconds to find. Nice little hide. Thanks Contact Zero.

Did some caching on our way from the Barossa down to Strathalbyn & then across to Adelaide for a couple of christmas get togethers. A quick & easy find by geo-wife. SL TNLN TFTC Find #504

Very sneaky hide which required a good hunt. Nearly walked away but was spied by Mr M at the last moment. TFTC

Nice and easy cache on our way to Murray Bridge for a few days.
TFTC

Great introduction to cacheing. Thanks. Mr Cooper found this one. Not too many muggles. Left a smilie badge.D:

Had to outwait a couple who were across the river but paying particular attention to me.

Once they left, I polished up my caching skills and it was soon in hand.

TFTC

Easy find in the end. Pirate Rick and Teddy made the discovery. TFTC.

Coin visit. TFTC.

Original log was via the iPhone, so posting a note to get some TBs their miles

We love stopping in this town. A great little hidey spot for this cache.

A quick find in a pretty spot.  TFTC.

There were lots of people around including an artist sitting drawing within metres of gz but we made a quick find. The log is falling apart but we didn't have anything on us to do running repairs.
Thanks Contact Zero

Photo helped. Tftc

Tricky little hide, but the kids loved hunting for it. TFTC

Finally!!!
How did I miss that on the last visit?
Cheers

We came past to smell the roses but found that there was a couple of muggles at GZ licking the ice cream.
They found our antics strange so we went off to find the other caches in town.
When we came back they were gone and after a short but intensive search found the container.

Cheers.

Found this cache last nite on my 2nd attempt but didnt bring a pen with me so couldnt sign the log great little spot for it
cheers

Made A New Account Found It On My Old One TFTC

Cache 900 for us today. And what more fitting a place than 3 metres from where we placed a cache back in 2004 (Angus - long gone to muggle heaven!).

There must have been a bucket load of water coming through these parts when the river rose recently.

Mr J has fond memories the weir. Coming home from school they were forbidden to cross it, which of course they ignored, but his brother slipped off. Told his mum that someone turned a sprinkler on him and that was why he was wet. Maybe he didn't think she'd notice the slime!!

Cheers and thanks for the cache.

About 10 mins of searching in awful weather before we gave up. Another time.

Found this with fellow cacher 'imhidingsa' and our mate after much searching finally found it! TNLN, TFTC!

was a good find along with flying circus!

Lovely walk around area with geodog and chatted to a few friendly people.
Thanks for bringing us here and enjoying the relaxing break.

Almost missed the hide..

Great gardens. We enjoyed our stop in Strathalbyn to grab a few caches. Found this one at 4:40pm.

We are in Strath for the antique weekend and thought we would squeeze a cache in while we are here. TNLN TFTC

Despite the pruning of the roses the cache was found in its nice little hidey hole. Lovely spot in a lovely town. Nearby a local and his son pulled in a huge carp from the river!! TFTC

Found with CPWanderer on a day out caching. TFTC.

The roses have had their winter prune, hopefully the cache hasn't as well!
Next time perhaps.

Nice quick find, lovely spot. TFTC, dropped off Cancer Geocoin.

It took a while to find it. Good hide. No roses today. Very nice park.
Thanks Contact Zero for the cache.

Our second attempt this time around. The GPSr and the hint told us where it had to be but we still spent some-time looking for the well hidden cache - of course it was in the last place we looked!

Thanks Contact Zero for the cache.

Too cold to inhale to much here. No flowers - just sticks. And yes I had cleaned my shoes. Clear skies.

We were lucky to have no-one around while we searched. It took us longer than it should have! TFTC Contact Zero

took a bit of looking but soon had the cache in hand on a evening out caching with Firesafe

Was about to head home from caching Murray Bridge when some new caches came up around Macclesfield and Victor Harbor so the FTF hunt was on as well as grabbing some other caches on the way.

No roses to smell but there is a cache. TFTC.
