May be time for this one to go.

Our on a sunny Saturday and spent a bit of time looking for this one... Not sure, but may require to be checked it's still there
found with getnict after the Football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars event.
Found with Jacknor, think I may be a bit vertically challenged to have reached this one alone.

Day out with the family starting with a magic show, chips on the beach, frozen cokes and geocaching ending with a dislocated shoulder, otherwise a great day TFTC
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Cache for the day required and decided to head for this side of town again. Parked across the road and wandered over to GZ but was surprised where the GPS took me. Started the search and soon spotted the cache. Extracted log signed and replaced.

Out an about on a wild arvo of Geocaching with the one and only DSWAZY. Cache was easy to spot, it is now a bright green mint tin so it stood out fairly well. Tried to camo it a bit more after logging. TFTC
In preparation for hiking in Vietnam, I took to the Tennyson dunes to test out my new backpack. After a good 45 minute "hike", I thought it was time I grabbed a cache. This one was easy to spot, especially of someone my height. TFTC
Found on a pre-show caching run with Pony1966. We walked around and poked all sorts of holes... until Mr P spotted it staring at us. We put him back a little more hidden! TFTC
Found it but was rather confused. Cache is actually a mint eclipse container,not a 150mm pill capsule. Anyways, nice day for a cache.

Finished work early today and am now on holidays so thought I would come and find a couple of new caches and some others along the way. [^]
Stopped off here as there were a few in close proximity and it was a nice evening for a walk.
As soon as I walked to GZ I knew the hide as I have one of my own hidden in the same manner.
This was a quick find as the container was pretty much out in the open.
After signing the log I put it back so it wasn't so obvious. [^]

Just following our gps and grabbing a few caches in the area while on school holidays. This one took a few minutes of circling the gz and was soon located after having a closer look. Thanks farmer--brown for the hide.
The hound loved helping to look for this cache took us a wee while as we were looking for a pill bottle but there are only a certain amount of places it could be TFTC. Took the litter out of the tree 10 cents thanks very much!
#11934. Day 21 of our SA holiday. Another day off the bicycles and we decided to meander southwards to West Lakes and our turnaround point ended up being Henley Beach. I think we need to ride down to HB and back again one day soon. We were muggled out in quite a few areas by kayakers, sailers, fishermen and council workers - so annoying when that happens.
After being muggled away from a couple, we found a parking place at GZ and didn't take too long to find the cache (2 containers in fact, neither of which match the cache page description). There was a fossilized log in one and a disgustingly manky one in the other. Removed all the rubbish and left a new log sheet in one container and rehid.

Day Twenty one of our holiday, BettyBoo3747 and I are still at Semaphore in Adelaide. Deadly treadlies left in the garage today and into the geocar and around the suburbs for our caching.
Half a tour and BB had two containers! Both had manky logs.
We replaced the log and put back the dryer eclipse tin.
Thanks, Robmc.

Two circumnavigations did the trick and the eclipse revealed itself. As previously reported the logbook needs replacing urgently
Thanks farmer-brown

Tricky cache to find with hundreds of little nooks to search. Eventually found just before i was going to trudge back to the car. Thanks farmer-brown for the adventure.
I love these types of hides with high D-Star ratings [^] The "Challenge" 
Found with replacement container right next to it. It's logbook was also wet through... moist spot this [:o] The small fold out piece of paper in the zip-lock bag was damp-ish but signable . Dried that out quickly with the 2378887knot Westerly wind and SL at 17:55 on Thu 8 Dec 2016. TFTC and Hide, farmer--brown

Tackled this cache with the geowife - she went to one side of the tree, I went to the other and within 10 seconds we both found 2 different caches.... what the! She found the minty tin with a wet log (hence couldnt sign) and I found a metal cylinder with a log in it. Put them together in a hidey spot for the next cacher. TFTC
Having previously DNFed this and searching with a previous finder, today the find was quick. Fairly certain we searched this entire tree last time. Oh well, finally a smiley on the map now.

So I am in Adelaide for 3 hours of work in the evening and have a early flight so a day of caching with brisal5 planned. Thank you to all of the owners for their creative hides.
Mogni was in town for one of her 'flying' visits. That mean some caching time before she was required for a few hours 'work' before some more caching. 
The GOTHs needed some maintainance down Semaphore way so I spent the past few days solving a few puzzles down that way. After picking up mogni from the airport it was time to cache our way down to Semaphore. [^]
mogni made the quick find but the log was just a sodden mess. So it now has a new log. Thanks for placing this cache farmer--brown.

Thanks for placing this cache farmer--brown. tftc farmer -- brown. found this cache full of water and a soggy log sheet. emptied the water but did not attempt to get the log out. suggest new tin with a log in a sealed bag.
While the kids enjoyed the swing over the road, I found a cache.
No log sheet or lid. I found a post it note in the car and rolled that up as a temporary log but will need the CO to come check on this.
Cheers. FInd #1584

found it on the ground and the lid of the cache has gone missing as well as the log book, will message care taker with photo of what is left to prove I found it.
Fungus made the initial find and I spotted shortly afterwards. Also searching with pudgy and giggles. Thanks for hiding it.
Note: not the screw top container mentioned in the description.

Out and about on a pleasant autumn day with normanville. Pleased to find this one. TFTC
This is my first find with Raconteur and PossumB so very exciting. Looking forward to this adventure taking off.
We are keen geocachers on holiday from New Zealand for the Dragon boat regatta. Having a wonderful time paddling hard and gathering few smileys as we go. Introduced a couple of newbies to geocaching here, so this one was found with Possenbar & RaeK as well. As previously mentioned. the log is very wet and it is almost impossible to write on. Needs replacing. TFTC
TFTC. Found while taking a break from the Dragonboat Nationals, Jaggedwings found this very quickly. Please note, logbook is saturated, needs replacing.
Lovely day for my first caching adventure. Found with Raconteur & RaeK1. Log was wet .Found a spot & signed as PB. TFTC.
I could win an award for most caches found but not logged online. Please forgive this very generic log. If I admired your cache you'll get a favourite point from me and I'll likely come back and edit this log once I've caught up. If this generic log makes you unhappy - delete it. Life's too short to worry over it, I had fun finding your cache either way. 
Cheers!
Cheers!Found while over this way tto Celebrate the Summer Solstice with a Splash.

The previous DNF had us a touch worried but as we were in the area we headed over. We read the hint and thought a 150mm long tube should not be too hard to locate but then on reading other logs realised it had changed. A scan around and a glimpse of the container was spotted and the find made. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.
No luck for me - I did search borth palm trees properly. Maybe I'm just cache blind today.
Another great find on a geocaching trip around the area.
Thanks for putting up this cache and making my visit fun.

red had half an hour to waste whilst ronso was at the dentist... so red found some caches ;c) finally managed a smiley for this one! TFTC!!
The rain stopped long enough for us to try some quick grabs. It seems that the palm trees have recently been pruned. Could this create a problem for would-be cachers????
