No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

TB Visit, TMJ

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Seeing as the cache has been missing for several months and the owners of this hide haven't logged in since March 2011, maybe this one ought to be archived?

Seeing as it wasn't there to be found, I couldn't find it. Wish I knew that before walking here...

Followed compass but unfortunatly was a mess with fallen trees so was unable ta find.

Did exactly the same as the previous log

Tried to find this one without realising that it had been removed (that's what I get for not reading the logs) A tree has also fallen on GZ so the area is in a bit of a mess.

I've removed the cache as it was muggled. The container damaged, log destroyed and I can't tell where it's meant to go. Owner contacted.

Found with sietmozo. We were poking around the fallen tree when Geo-girl found some swag on the ground a few metres away form GZ. Looking around we found a chewed up stash-note/log, chewed up lid and the rest of the container. It looks like a fox or dog foud this before we did. I took the cache remains with me, and will contact the owner, as it wasn't obvious where the cache was hidden.

This cache appears to have been "doggled". Found various components chewed and scattered near GZ. Not sure of the intended hiding place so it's currently in Ma7:7hew's posession.

Found with the kids on a cache run with Ma7:7hew. Still counting it as a find, despite it's condition.

Found @ 9.40am - [8] Thanks

Found this morning, TFTC, TNLN, Expedia Travel Tag Visited, SL

Found it Tftc

I was a bit worried navigating to the cache as a big gum tree had fallen on what I thought was the cache location! Luckily enough the cache location was spared by a few meters and it was quite a well hidden little cache, thanks

Nice quick find with HCR032

a quick find is Wat I needed, I need to get 10 today before I can go home. 5 to go TFTC

FOUND WITH LITTE SAMMY! TFTC

Easy find after my GPS finally settled down. No snakes but I'm always wary.

TFTC team anz

A quick find as the phones battery started to get low. Cache was in a obvious spot so that always helps - Thanks.

Crossed the bridge and walked around to find this one, thanks again Team ANZ

quick find. took Maltese coin for coin collection. Left dinosaur. TFTC

End of a pleasant stroll around Fairview and Banksia Parks. Nice little reserve this one. Took rather nifty boot carriage that geograndaughter will love, Left Maltese coin. Thanks team anz

Needed one for today so off I went, getting further and further to find caches these days...

TFTC

The log is a bit damp but still usable.

found on a day caching with parislaura, TFTC

Cache container was fairly damp but luckily the log was protected in its bag. TFTC

An adventurous cache. Lots of fun to find. TFTC .

Great hiding spot, Left Trackable inside.

Out with a bee, listening to my relatives croaking what a lovely moonlit night.TFTC

nice quick find while out with Mrs Froghoppin and all i can hear is listen to all the frogs over and over

Nice local park TNLNSL

one of the first caches i ever found TFTC

Quickly found by Geokids on way home from Pelican Point Power Station. TNLNSL. Thanks team_anz.

took lion left car

Found with Foxzami on a night cache run. TFTC

Found with my mum tftc

Great park in my area that I had never walked through before.
Easy find, thanks.

Find 1175 on Adelaide Cup Day 2011 my 4th Anniversary of Geocaching.
Found BFE Style Without the GPS in the only place I looked. I am sure it was not there on my last visit.
Very strange, this was the second of 3 consecutive caches that were on an RDO on 7 Jan 2011.
On that visit the hole was empty.
Thanks to team_anz for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere

Another nice little park in this area. Braved the beetles and spiders and millipedes that seemed intent on camping out on the cache and made a quick find.

Easy find
tftc

Found It!
Found during the geogaine event with waterlogged and hgl
This is where we believe we lost our geogaine recording sheet...
Anyway TFTC

A quick find with waterlogged and Laighside Legends as the park was quiet today and we were passing through for the Geogaine 2011 event. We managed to misplace our control sheet for the event somewhere between here and the next cache, so if you find a small slip of paper here with Team 20 and some stamps on it - please forward to Zytheran so he know we did actually find them! Thanks team_anz for the cache.

Found while participating in the 2011 Geogaine Event with HGL and Laighside Legends.
TFTC

I visited this cache after 'placing' the last cache for next weekends geogaine nearby. There's a lot more parks in this area than I would have thought for.

Thanks for the cache team_anz

A quick find and retrieve after 'walking the plank' at GZ !
Took car. Left cub. SL.
Thanks Team ANZ.

Quick and easy find out on a nice night. TFTC

The amount of loose bark in park is unbelievable at the moment. Nice hide. TNLNSL TFTC

Clever hide TNLNSL TFTC

#431 7th of 10 while doing a bit of morning caching before it got too hot. Maybe it WAS a bit hot - I can't remember much about this cache I'm afraid! other than it was a similar hide to others I found this morning and that I didn't have to resort to the hint. Why didn't I take notes!! Thanks team_anz.

41C is too hot for this! TFTC

While the et al played on the seesaw, I quickly located the cache. T frog, L yabby. TFTC

A nice easy find. TFTC

Tried this cache late at night when it first came out but gave it away quickly when we saw where GZ was.
Came back for an evening walk and found it in a much better spot this time.

Thanks for the cache team_anz.

Great spot for JAPER Geokids to find this one! TFTC

A quick P&G on a rather conspicuous cache

TNLN SL TFTC

Found this on my second visit to the area while in Adelaide. Overlooked the most obvious spot. TFTC

no problem finding this one, I could see it from the road!
GZ was out by 15m though.

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 48.439 E 138° 43.163

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 48.377 E 138° 43.159

Distance from original: 377.7 feet or 115.1 meters.

Out of all the hiding places within this reserve, surely one for the cache could have been chosen that wasn't in full view of the road and houses. Found quickly. TFTC.

Easy find. Neighbour gave asked what we were doing haha

I have nothing really positive to say about this cache.
So i'll just say 'found it'.

Found while passing. So many spots in this large reserve would have been superior to this one; while we were searching, a guy from across the road came over and asked if we were geocaching. Very appropriate given the number of people he sees snooping around this corner, and proof of the fact that the hiding spot could've been chosen better. But thanks for the cache anyway - it's a nice reserve.

A nice quick drive-by. TNLNSL thanks for the cache.

Our GPS still said 12m, so the kids continued walking but Tony saw a hidey hole and had a look, signed the log and upset the kids by not letting them find it

TFTC

Forgot to log this from a couple of weeks ago. We hopped out of the geomobile and headed down towards the bridge trying to guess where it may be hidden and were a bit surprised to find it right back up near the road in full view.
TFTC

Thanks for bringing me to this reserve. Co-ords out a bit(as previously mentioned) but my concern is the position of the cache..... so visible from the road. Could see it as i pulled up(so muggles can see it to!!) Might be worth moving it 3-5m further down slope so only cachers are likely to get near it. All minor concerns.................great to see some more caches appearing in nice parks!!

An easy find out caching with'missymu'.
GPS had us 10mtrs out must have been the storm clouds overhead.
You may need to log on with a biro as pencil seems to be fading fast on log sheet.
TFTC

Hunting with earthlight nice stormy day cooler this arvo .
GPS was out 10 metres could have been cloud cover.
TFTC

It was a night out for the 3 amigos, what better way to get back into the Adelaide geocaching scene. Thanks team anz

Nice to have some new local caches. While out hiding our gnome we had a nice find TFTCSL

Found in the first place we looked, which was 12 m out according to my GPSr.

I agree with the other comments here - nice cache but the coords need to be tweaked a bit. Does your GPS have an averaging function - it can get the coords automatically if you let it sit and spit out the answer. If not, let it sit for a good 3 or 4 minutes and get the numbers then. Walk away and head back to those numbers. Does it get you back to the spot?? If not, do it all again. Such fun hiding a cache isn't it? Clear skies from TeamAstro.

Found nice and easy but had to use great stealth to sign log book for fear of being seen by residents of nearby houses. TNLN SL...TFTC

Nice and easy cache, found this one with brodie cacher.
TFTC

thorns in our socks everywhere, u should put a longer description bcoz this is a really good hide.
Found with Laachy TNLNSL TFTC

Found it nice and easy. Nice reserve.
Thanks team_anz for the cache.

TFTC Found it easily!

TFTC really good cache,and hide thanks zac and Aidan : )

If you want people to be excited about finding your cache may I suggest a few improvements.

1. More info in the listing, 'get down low' just doesn't quite work all that well
2. A more suitable container and logbook, this is afterall the escense of what a cache is about, signing the log, and if it falls apart it kind of defeats the purpose
3. A more suitable location, right near someones back fence where you can see into their windows is not really classed as a suitable location. I know this reserve and know that there is a lot of top spots for a cache here.

This is meant to be constructive and to help you out as I notice you have only found a few caches and may nit be sure what constistutes a good hide yet.


Some food for thought anyway.

Agree with Adrian Mc.
Good luck with it and welcome to caching!

It appears from the log we were 3rd to find YAY!!! TFTC

Published

Met Dennisc52 at GZ who had just found the cache first.
This senario has happened before with Dennis. Nice to catch up.
Thanks for the cache.

Had just got to bed, and the notification came through to the phone. Checked the distance, and it was too close to ignore, so made my way down there. Rewarded with an FTF!! While packing up, Squizzie arrived, and we chatted for a bit, before leaving him to the cache.
The log book is very frail, and really needs to be replaced with something a little sturdier - it fell apart as I picked it up. Tried my best not to alert the neighbour of my presence, as the hide is close to his bedroom window, which I could see into as the blinds were open, and the lights were on.TN, left roo. TFTC.
