A long look by several of us was unable to find the cache.
It may be gone. Can the owner please confirm it's status.
Thanks.

I gave this one a good look. There has bean a lot of water down the creek by the look of it. It might be time to check if it is still there.

I didn't find it.....I looked everywhere with my grandma, grandpa and brother. I hope it wasn't stolen.
Made the approach more difficult than it had to be but got there easily enough. I'll be surprised if this cache location lasts. I don't think it would take too much water to carry this one off. TFTC
Found on the last day of a trip to Adelaide. 18 caches for the day...almost more than my total previous finds. TFTC
Found It!
Found this one in the dark after the geogaine event
Luckily it was an easy find!

Ducked out for the find just before the Geogaine. Good start to the afternoon but what does Z have in store. TFTC brodie cacher. SL.
Headed out with waterlogged and Laighside Legends after completing the Geogaine 2011 .. considering this one was only 100m from the event, there was enough time to find it while waiting for the pizza to arrive.
We trusted the iPhone maps which put the cache on the wrong side of the river bed, considering it was dark we barely managed to spot GZ and then waterlogged and Laighside Legends mae the leap to the "other side" while I kept guard. An easy find once we were in the right spatial zone. TFTC

Is this the record number of finds in one day for this cache?! Had a few minutes to spare before the grind of the Geogaine, so took the opportunity to find this. Of course the first attempt had us on the wrong side of the creek! TFTC
Found while after participating in the 2011 Geogaine Event with HGL and Laighside Legends, while waiting for the final scores and food to arrive.

As usual, we came in from the wrong side of the creek [B)].

Thanks again Brodie Cacher.

I came a bit further than I wanted from the orienteering at Athelstone but picking up this cache (more than 20 km from my home coords) means a lot for my future plans and current stats.
Easily found.
Thanks for the cache brodie cacher.

A nice quick little cache found on our way home from a dinner out as we are trying to break our previous record for a caching streak! Thanks for the cache and we took the TB to move along.
Last one of 13 for me today. Had to rush before a dogwalker muggle got too close, but all was safe. Grass is pretty long at the moment (mid summer) so watch for slithery things...
Creek was dry too.

#429 5th of 10 while doing a bit of morning caching before it got too hot. Found without any trouble. Left Skippy TB. Thanks for another brodie cacher.
Find #3 of the day with Team Nano and KimbaTheGreet, found it quickly as we were careful of spiders, TNLNSL TFTC
Found on my way home from the hardware shop.
I used to run all over this park when I was a cub and scout at the nearby establishment and the cache that was just across the road from here was my very first ever find.

Nice walk with the K9 GPS Unit, who proceeded to take the opportunity to swim in the river. Quick and easy find. TFTC
Find #1087
I have the technology. Found with the GPS but not where it was pointing.
Maybe I should have used the coordinates suggested by O'Cholio.
S 34º 49.011 E 138º 42.270
The listed coordinates can be changed by editing the listing.

Thanks Craig for the advice. Just checked cache and all is good. Found a baby frog on it
When the flood waters hit, the cache found itself on an island - safe and dry.
Have added a pencil. Happy caching!

We found the cache today Brodie!!!! We mustn't have missed you by much as we found it at about 5-5:30pm. We took the cache back to the car to get a pen to sign the log as there was no pencil there then. Looking at the flood line from the bank left us fearing for the fate of the cache but found it nice and dry. Thanks for the cache Brodie.
Brodie,
With all this weather I suggest you check your cache to ensure its still there as the creek was rather high when we drove past.

It was a night out for the 3 amigos, what better way to get back into the Adelaide geocaching scene. Thanks brodie cacher
We approached the creek - with Bruce leading. Should I have let Bruce cross the creek while I stood back and signed the log. Mwhahahahahahaha.
as usual were we parked had us on the wrong side of the creek. once on the right side a quick find was made
It took me a while to find it. Thanks to the clue.
Thanks brodie cacher for the cache.

We went down the hill as we live up the hill from the cache and it's now our closest unfound to home. Couldn't get an accurate GPS signal today. Nevermind, will be back again soon for another look.
Thankyou O'Cholio for your comment. I agree. I am Brodies mother, he is 12 y.o and fairly new to caching, these comments are upsetting him. It is not the first time Team Nano has made negative comments about his hides.
And... he did rate it as an easy find!!
This cache is alongside a lovely creek, with beautiful lilly's and frogs croaking, especially this time of year.

TFTC young Brodie. Don't be upset. I used a little logic and found it no probs. Good hide and I look forward to more of your caches. Remember, have fun. If you want to see a not so good caching experience for me today check "the hide out", just after i did yours. Hope you get a laugh.
I'm sorry if my comments upset you but "Down the Hill" had Red Back spiders in around the tree and "The Hide Out" had lots of thorns and sharp tree branches which were impossible to avoid if you wanted to retrieve the cache. Both of the cache co-ords were off. It is recommend that you find 50 caches before you start hiding caches so you can learn more about how to hide them. Its CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM !
Also if you look at your cache, "Duck Lookout" we loved it and added it to our Recommended Caches List! So we're not targeting you or your caches!
Easy bronze this morning, after collecting a few spiders on the way! TN, L Roo. TFTC.
Quick find with the slow moving parent just after 6am. SL and SILVER for us . TFTC brodie cacher.
Just love the creeks in this area this time of year.
Nasturtiums in flower covering the banks and a great chance to photograph the area.
an easy find when on the correct side of the creek ,

Our second brodie-cacher find for the day. We approached from the side and had to do a creek crossing (on the dry bit), to find the cache in its hiding place. The coords were slightly off, taking into account the inaccuracies of GPS. We took new ones - S34 49.011 E138 42.270 - these might work better. TFTC.

Great hide in a great suburban reserve. The reserve is usually full of people and their best friend(s) but this morning was relatively quiet. TFTC.
Found on my way home from work. The GPSr indicated it was across the creek, and when I crossed
it showed I should be back on the other side. As there are trees around, the GPS's was playing games with me. Nice little area of bush land. Thanks for the cache.

By Team Nano: "TNLNSL - Another cache that we didn't like........but hey, their numbers"
This is a terrible thing to write. Ease up, it wasn't that bad.
And also: *their", "they're", "there". Learn the difference.

Whoo hoo, FTF to TiedyeSmileys again. A new cache less than 1km from home. Quick, where's the stickers and GPS. A quick dash and scramble in the dark and the cache was soon found at 9:20. Now what was on NCIS that we just missed .
