Had a quick look before reading the other logs. Guess it has been removed or muggled. No luck locating.
Add five of us to the list of MEGA attendees that weren't able to find this cache. Cheers Gav
I was going to log a Should be Archived - seems that is already taken care of.
A good spot for a cache though!

Nice and easy find while we stopped to let the Geomutt out for some relief!!! TFTC
During the drive home from Adelaide to Melbourne AND a mountain bike ride in their park at the "Eagle on the Hill" (a must for any visiting mountain biker.....with a mountain bike lol) we thought that a brief stop and a cold drink on a hot day would be a good idea, AND a hunt for a cache as it turned out, it was just what we needed, a quick find was had and we were on our way, thank you Sydneykiwi for the find in a nice landscaped area.
Found in the company of Earthbound Chief and the Walenators on our SA tour. On our way out of Adelaide and beginning to make our way back home. Nano found it. TFTC
A quick stop gratefully taken having had a police car sitting on our tail for a number of Km's! Turned in here to get rid of him and pick up a cache. EB Nano found and retrieved, children are handy like that! TFTC
Had seen this one a few weeks ago but we were on other side of road, today pulled in and turned on the GPS to find we were pretty much parked on it, nearly... Fantastic spot for a break today with the drizzle being persistent. TFTC.
This seems to be a popular stopping spot and we were hoping that the occupied area wasn't GZ - luckily it wasn't, so a nice easy find was made. TFTC
had a hard long look but nothing, maybe the guys who come and clean these areas picked it up, hopefully its there next time.
NOTHING TODAY - first stop for the day and no luck at all, hope it gets better.
cheers

After some assurance from previous finders that this should be a nice easy find, it turned out that a tiny bit of cache creep had made it much harder to spot. Managed to find it after a few minutes, but then had a moment of surprise when I grabbed it & wondered why it felt so strange...
TNLN - Thanks Sydneykiwi!

We pulled into the truck stop thinking that there had to be a cache in there somewhere. When we turned on the GPS to have a look, we realised we were only 5 meters away!
Thanks for the cache Sydneykiwi!

Stopped to check the car and realised we were 2 meters away from a cache. A good hide, thanks.
Sunny day - perfect for caching. Unfortunately I was on my way to a training session at Murray Bridge so a quick roadside stop off was all I could manage (
The truck stops etc are slowly improving around this area with a few toilets etc so people don't rush off into the bushes.

No problem finding the replaced cache .
All relatively quiet here this morning and we noticed that the grass had been mowed again, so this place is kept in good condition [^].
Took Fly. Left badge. SL.
Thanks Sydney Kiwi (and Freddo for the replacement).

Have stopped here many times in the past, now for a different reason, a cache. TFTC.
Found it easy as it was in plain sight so put it back a little better. Was that another cacher leaving as we arrived or a muggle???
A nice quick stop on our way out to Monarto. Never realised this was such a nicely maintained stop! I'd actually eat my lunch here if I had to!
ADE 11. My time in Adelaide is over and it is time to go home. I had the area to myself which was better than the next one that was full of trucks. Thanks.

Quick easy find in the obvious spot. No swaps. Cheers

A quick stop on the way home to Vic. I sounds as though I may have been able to log the nearby Isaacs cache on my way too
as it appears to have fallen from its perch!
Thanks Sydneykiwi.

Thanks Sydneykiwi.
When we got near GZ, the vista was of a "boy in blue" with a radar gun checking the speeds of cars on the freeway. Thankfully he was too involved with his work to be interested in us. This enabled us to make a quick find and a quick get away. TFTC Sydneykiwi
Had to wait for the muggle to finish his smoke near GZ, found it nice and easy.
Thanks Sydneykiwi for the cache.

Traveling home with Mr Coffee and the Coffee Clan after our long weekend caching in Adelaide this was our eighth cache for the day. The parking area was vacant making for an easy find. Mrs Crackers spied the cache from one angle whilst Mr Coffee retrieved it.
We passed some trackables through here to build up some miles

It wasn't in the first place we looked but it was in the second. Thanks Sydneykiwi for the cache and showing us this good caravan friendly place to pull up for a rest.

We are all packed and heading back to Melbourne via Mt Gambier and Warrnambool. Sad. Going to miss Glenlg and all the towns we've visited in WA.
Nice quick find as we drove through.

Our first find for the day, took much longer than it should have due to a police office taking down the details of an abandoned car right in front of the cache - TFTC
Found in the company of ParisLaura on a cache spree to Murray Bridge in an effort to help me reach my 1000
Thanx for the smilie!
Took too long for something we saw at first then dismissed!

Found a little exposed, I think it rolled out of its hiding place. Left a tb. Thx Sydneykiwi for the cache.
I wanted to get this cache while traveling between Mt Barker and Nairne and had decided that Petwood Rd was a good way to get to the cache. Now I know why the GPSr wanted me to get onto the freeway as the access road for this cache.
Thanks for the cache Sydneykiwi.

I was able to arrive at this cache location from the dirt road nearby rather than the freeway. Jumped the barbed wire fence and thought, oh no muggles! A car was parked at the facility. Approached the vehicle and realized that it had been dumped. Anyone own a Ford Falcon sedan, WCY934?
Looked for the cache and found zip. Then I got a call from the last hider. Now that is serendipity. We discussed the location and what I was looking for. Gone was the decision. A new cache was retrieved from the car. In total I negotiated that barbed wire fence 4 times.
Skippy will have a job this week to pick up the dumped sedan. Has he found the cache?

Came in along Petwood Road and scrambled up the bank .
Sitting at GZ, we had a radar unit, weed sprayer and lawnmower all in attendance this morning , as well as the usual crowd using the facilities.
Waited until everyone was busy elsewhere and looked in all the likely places and on the ground under the structure, but to no avail [B)].
Really think this one has 'gone with the wind.'
Thanks Sydneykiwi.

No luck on the way to collect the Lowan hides, with Fishing Pole Ninja in tow. Searched high and low, and came up empty handed. After reading the log about the wind blowing it away, looked quickly around, and saw nothing. Saw the photo when I got home to log this, and it definately is not there.
This time it was there. On our way to Ngarkat for the week. This could do with a larger container before the current one blows away.

Travel along here quite regularly and finally found a quiet time to cross this off our list TFTC
Found this finally on my camping trip to Murray Sunset reserve. Easy find this time (when it is there). Tftc
It was good to get this one off the list. Quiet at the time so it was an easy find. TFTC
On way to Murray Bridge to meet Lava12 there. Stopped there for a smoke break. I looked my gsp dont have one so I check on my iphone and have one here.
found it.. TFTC

Thanks to John from TeamAstro this cache has been replaced. It is now a film canister. Please bring your own writing implement.
I have driven past this nice rest spot a few times and today had a small film container that would do the replacement trick. With SydneyJeremy's kind permission, I replaced the hide. There is only one good spot for it so think up the back. If you can improve the hide, please do.
Clear skies from TeamAstro. Oh, BYO pencil.
For a never found cache and months since it was placed I think it is about time to Archive.
There was a truck parked right where we wanted to search and the driver sitting in the cab. Sat and waited for a short while but seeing so many have not found it we didn't waste too much time. Another day perhaps.
Thank you to all you guys that had a look for it makes me feel better that I failed as well spent best part of an hour looking even widened my search to other structures and natural things nearby
Had the place to myself. Looked all around the shelter and no sign of a cache. Under, over, in there or up there. For a 1.5/1.5 it can't be that hard.
