Been watching this cache and as it has not been replaced after 5 months. I believe it should be archived. It had definitely been muggled and the cache container was destroyed when I was there in Dec last year.
In the forgotten garden,
I remembered a cache to find.
But after a bit of searching,
No trace of caching kind

Found a part of what we think might be the leftover of a cache hide. Nothing here now.
Our only DNF for the day. On arriving at the GZ we found pieces of painted foam that we suspect might be the remnants of the cache!! Expanded our search but without luck.
Our last for today. Home to put the feet up. The centre garden is looking a bit neglected but otherwise a quiet little spot to rest and let the kids play. TFTC
Needed a cache for the day and having tried unsuccesfully to locate a mystery cache, I decided that at 11pm on a wet night, I needed a traditional.
This was the nearest cache that sounded like it had the shortest walk: I was already rather wet
A very quick find.
Neat camo: how did you do that?
Mind you, I still think the cache should have a lid..... when I did the locus cache thing there were so many creepy crawlies such as cockroaches and slaters and millipedes all through the cache.

Mr Tardis was in the area, and dropped in to grab this one. Good cammo, I hope this one doesn't get muggled again.
Certainly the "garden" over the fence is very forgotten indeed.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache leighandjay.

Found It!
Coords were a bit out but given that it was hidden upside down I soon spotted it... I put it back the right way up.

Found while doing some city caches with brisal5 and roguewatermelon. Highlight or lowlight depends on how you look at it was the amount of CITO we did here. Definately a good collection of bottles and cans to get recycled.
Clever container, TFTC

Headed to town with Mogni and roguewatermelon to sus out some metal cipher series and drop some TBs along the way. The clues made this so easy. Quick find for everyone and clever hide. This is a lovely park. Pity about the nocturnal uses. Looks like fireworks and drinks were on the agenda last night. Someone called for Ralph in the bushes 10 metres from GZ. Glad it wasn't on the Cache! CITO resulted in quite a bit of petrol money from the deposits!!! Thanks leighandjay.
Caching with miss 6, spent a while there cause there were a few muggles, but were excited to find it. Took dinosaur, left mini scissors, signed log.
great hide but the container has no lid which may leed to problems in the long run.
Found on a family caching day. This one may have fallen victim to an accidental find during an Easter egg hunt (we found a few eggs nearby). Found the camo (nice work, by the way), a small toy, and a lid-less container scattered on the paving. We put a new book and snap-lock bag in it, and placed it in what we thought was the right place. You may want to pay the site a visit soon to repair and relocate it slightly. Obviously someone knows where it is! TFTC
Found the secret stash in the forgotten garden.
Had to shoo muggles away, by just hanging around! lol

Found it with vj187. Didn't find the spider or the gecko. Loved the cache. TFTC

Our friend almost wet himself when he found the live "trinket" -Beware the boy eating gekko!
Another quick find after work with schnail. Kicked out the lizard and spider that had made the cache home.TFTC
Found quickly with Foxbane. Interesting to see the latest brand of "live swappables". Decided to leave the gekko and spider behind however. TNLNSL TFTC
No trinkets save a twig, so left a yellow uno reverse card, good cache cheers
Been here before but the cache was hollow. Not this time tho. Fluff got a big surprise which almost saw the cache take a trip over the fence as a small lizard came flying out the cache onto his shirt. In seconds the cache was airborne and fluffs shirt was on the ground.
Made our way to the cache location and seen what I thought would be the hiding spot and turned out it was but actual cache was missing. After a look around the area found the bottom part of the cache and no swaps or logs so replaced the log and placed it back in the hiding spot and off to the next cache.
Needs to be checked and fixed correctly.

Found parts of it anyway,found hide first(well done) then main contaier but no contents or lid,set it back up as best we could but you will need to go and do some maintenance,tftc.
Didn't find intially but found the container on the ground without a lid, so placed it back in appropriate spot with new log book... May need to be checked as still needs a little more attention and didn't have anything esle with us..
thanks leighand jay for the cache
thanks leighand jay for the cache
Went here with Olga. This has definitely been muggled. Found the hide upturned and empty.
Nice park! Loved the camo. After living in the area most of my life it's always good to come back and find a park I didn't know existed. TFTC
Another blistering hot and windy day, shall I hunt a few caches today or not...umm oh yeah with Mr Bushies2 away in Perth for one week so it would be good to get out of the caravan and hunt a few caches with our dog Ned...he happily pranced around while I searched this one and found it straight away, excellent camo..you get a favourite point from me Thanks leighandjay.
Really enjoying my first visit to Adelaide and finding some good caches as well. Soon had this one located. A good hide. SL TFTC
nice easy find, with interesting camo, no muggles near by. day 72 of my continuous daily cacheing run in 4 states so far. cache # 199 TFTC TN LTB Sl

odd little park but we did have some hari krishna music to cache by

Third cache for the day and, as it turned out, our last as the weather closed in. GeoD made the find whilst geoP returned to gCAV to gather our little cache of TBs. Nice bit of camo on this hide.

Cool hide,
It looked so easy,
...but there's so many places to hide a cache in!
Found once the hint was deciphered,

Don't go to the wrong LeHunte and Gladstone Streets.
You will get confused.
Rely on the GPS and Co Ords. TFTC

Great disguise! One of the best I've seen.
Look out for the resident spider though...

Loved your camo - excellent but spider lives there too gosh!! Signed the log. Thanks leighandjay.
Nice cache leighandjay - clever use of camo too
Visited with NiNjAWaBBiT (a recent convert to geocaching) got to near GZ sat down had a drink before walking up. With the tree at GZ it was abuzz with bees (pun intended) and also mozzies too - so if you're going to get this one bring some repellant
Managed to find the cache - but as I was removing it from "the hide", there was a little lizard that was sitting on top, took the cache out and sat out making sure no muggles were watching, SL, TN left my 'cacher's card .. then returned the cache to the hide fixed up the camo and then got out of there - damn mozzies !

My first find!!
Visited with AuSSiEHuNt3R, who managed to find the cache - I stayed away from where it was hiding due to the fact that the flowers were affecting my nose - once he had the cache he showed me what was in it, before sitting down and signing it for me (I'm new to geocaching and didn't know what to write)

What a nice little park! Too many of these aren't on my maps - if geocaching didn't take me to them I'd never know they existed... it's great discovering some of the lovely green spaces in Adelaide
TFTC! Great park! Took little work man statue - left bottle cap. I'll bring something cooler next time
Found after visiting my mum at the nursing home.
A nice park, with a few people using it.
Thanks for the cache. Good work.

Loved your work with the cache. We were there a bit early, but if you are peckish, there is a sign out the front of the Krishna mansion next door advertising all you can eat vegetarian for $8. I think we preferred a cache we did later in the day; pass the pigs. Mmmmmmmm bacon.

Nice bit of camo. And it's amazing just how many of these little gardens there are scattered around the city, caching is giving me a great opportunity to see a number of them TFTC
YAY our first cache... Plus night time too... That's got to count for something.
Our 11th find today (11/1/11). A clever hidey-hole but the clue soon had me in the right spot. TFTC

This park is always full of 'surprises'. Found this cache without a GPS. Moved the full bottle of ?wine in a paper bag that someone had left to guard the cache! Opposite the cache spot used to be a large pine tree. Someone was living under it, so the tree got a trim. Now it's not there at all. Thanks for bringing me back to the place where I was employed for 21 years. (I took my freedom from there last year....YAY!)
A nice easy find for Chugger, though he believes the hint could do with some adjusting TFTC
Found with a newbee cacher who is related to the frogs and has decided to branch out on her own.I have been training my fine young apprentice and she is picking it up quite quickly.TNLN TFTC
Found ourselves in the vicinity of this cache and couldn't resist a detour to try and get ourselves a smiley. Nice work. Thanks leighandjay
