Greets Trip-tze, I was going over the 'its a small world' series, and decided to have a look at which chaes you have done. Saw that you have a few out so had a look to see if I have done them or can do them later, 1 is a bit far out, this one is doable.
Then I noticed it has been a while since you took it down, so an Archive entry to see if you do indeed want this to be archived.
Hope all is well, loved the day out wit you on the Small worl series. The 'Adelaide' one was a simple puzzle cache that we could have done on the road. Next time perhaps.

We may not bother to put this back online as it has been muggled so many times. Will wait until the area has been cleaned up then decide, thanks
Will this cache be back on line soon, my kids are trying to clear out the local area and so many are off line its impossible.
I think this one may be gone. So much rubbish around as well as building waste.

Looked where it used to be, but no luck, and so much rubbish here it would be hard to find.
This area was a tip, it was a tad bit of a struggle to pick a cache out of the mess TFTC
What a load of rubbish in this location, and the coords took us to an object we search at for way to long.. stepped down the hill and looked back and there she was :D
6m form posted coords by my gps
Thanks for the cache
Container needs replacing... maybe you might find a new one in the local rubbish tip near by.

My brother Daniel found the cache after mum looked on her phone and thanks to a photo in the logs we were able to finally find the cache. Good Geocache. No need to pass through the trees. Just go around.CDMTD
Didn't like the rubbish tip nearby, quick find once I got to GZ. Approached from the wrong side.

Gotcha!
Eewww! Not a recreational park at all, is it. After recent rains, it was quite soggy underfoot, but I managed to make it to GZ without getting mud on my work clothes. Decided that discretion was called for and took the long, high road back to the car.
Thanks!
this was an easy find but the walk through the park was a little scarey could not believe the amount of rubbish here, i thought i was going to find a dead body down here, a little smelly tftc
Found on way to work, slight detour.
surprised this container has lasted so long, contents dry too.

Bugger! Muggle boys playing in bushes just behind tree!! Will have to do this one another day
I lost my damn pen and there wasn't one in there. I've taken Charlie brown TB for a cruise tftc
Omg I thought the dog was going to jump the fence and eat me, I ran back to the car lol
We found wat remains left of the cache scattered ! So I picked up log book and put in a zip lock bag and buried it near where the gps took us at tree

what a shame that some people have used this area as a junkyard!!!
brought some friends with me today. we were going to go the hard way, I'm glad they convinced me not too.
After a bit of searching, and my GPSr being really annoying, I eventually found it

This is sooo cool! Loved this forest in a depression, which I never knew existed here.

After a short search I uncovered its hiding place.
Cache will need maintenance as the smaller container doesn't quite fit into the larger one with the old log and swag item.
Log in larger container has been destroyed by moisture by the look of it.
TNLN SL, sealed container as best as I could and returned it to its hideout.

Nice easy find
Spotted another larger container with Geo caching on it further down the incline
Placed the smaller container and 2nd log book inside the larger container with old log.
Returned to hide

finally found the time to do a few caches today. packed up the gear an the rat dog. TFTC
TFTC, this was my families second cache, little difficult but not too unmanageable.
Found this one with Toddler Tardis on the way home after spending a day on Gawler. Toddler Tardis found the cache easily enough after Mr Tardis pointed him in the right direction. SL. Thanks for the cache trip-tze.
Found the well-hidden cache after a walk through the flood stricken trees to the South, thanks trip-tze
Geocache replaced, thanks for letting us know that it needed maintenance.

Passing by so thought would have quick look. Unfortunately had been disturbed and bits of log lying around. Rescued what I could find and put cache under strips of bark, not sure of original location.

Been disturbed, opened and left lying around - may need to return to correct location.
Now thats the easiest cache I've found for a while, did as previous cahers have, I think the locals may know to much,tftc
Yes A very exposed cache spotted from metres away - but hope it is now a little more protected. TFTC
A nice little sunken forest, pity about the rubbish. Spotted cache from 20 meters away, tried to cover a bit better.

this one took about ten mins as my gps was out by up to 20 meters, once it settled it was good to go and i found the cache easy.nice little forest. tftc.

What a lovely tree. We found this cache in the open, so rehid it when we finished signing the log. We were very amused by the athletic neighbourhood dog who jumped so high he could look over the fence. TFTC
So that is what a wattlepine looks like.
Nice cache, nicely hidden.
Cheers and happy caching.

TNLN - Thanks trip-tze!

Came in via the lowlands - quite spooky. I drive pass this point all the time, and I had no idea that this small area existed. The things you learn...

Mr Bushies2 walked across the road after we found one at Sandle Grove...he found it easily. Thanks trip-tze.
Find 1184 on Adelaide Cup Day 2011 my 4th Anniversary of Geocaching.
Found BFE Style without a GPS.
Originally the drive-in was a Shandon Drive-in another was behind the Links Hotel at Seaton.
Note the name of the nearby streets.
At Seaton it was possible to sit in the hotel and watch the movies complete with sound as both were owned by the same company.
Thanks to trip-tze for the cache and the memories.

To think there's a place like this right here where I drive past all the time. The world is full of such spots it seems. Took slinky left car.
Out for a day of caching with Albida. We regrettably followed the arrow from where we parked rather than using some common sense but we still found the cache....eventually, it then took about a quarter of the time to get back to the car. TFTC
A quick and easy find. I was trying to work out the easiest way to get "just over there" but looked down and noticed a great deal of camo nicely laid out...hmmmm....yep, cache. Took TB. TFTC
I can remember walking to the Shandon Drive-in in my teens to watch movies with friends on summer nights. What price video stores! Left ninja doll and took dinosaur. SL TFTC trip-tze.
Found in the early morning [^]. This place looked OK in the daylight, but we can see how it could change at night.
Quick find today. TN. Left glitter glue. SL.
Thanks Trip-Tze.

We took the wrong 'track' to start with and after the rain it was a little muddy..
So backtracked and went the way we should have in the first place..
Cache was soon in hand and we were on our way to the Event..
Thanks trip-tze for the cache and the slip & slide

Had no plans for what caches to find today and this one popped up on the map so decided to give it ago. We went down to start with then realised that after recent rains that the top way would be easier. TFTC
