Nope. This one eluded us, too. Looking back no one has found it since Feb 2014 so maybe not here at all anymore?

After bumbling around waiting for some nearby to leave we made our attempt at locating the cache without success

Checked every metal surface 20m around and couldn't find it. Think it is on an adventure.
Easy find on a hot day definitely needs a new log and probably container. TFTC
Gps location was off, i did look at every place where it could be magnetised and found it, needs new case and new log too TFTC. HAPPY NEW YEAR
What an easy find, found obviously not where it was suppose to be, had telescopic ladder on the ready and found it right in front of my face....literally, i feel this cache has not been replaced in its original hiding spot and will need to be relocated to where is should be as right now its a 1.5 terrain rating : ) could do with a fresh log book and casing is cracked so would look at a new cache replacement as well.TFTC
Surprisingly a quick easy find with 3LKG.
Mick was looking lower than the rest of us.
Guess cache has dropped a bit from original spot with cache creep.
Left as found.

Well in the region after my exams at Wayville with Mtn Lioness, we certainly reached for the stars while doing this cache, I think there was some talk about a roman god at the time and some talk about viewing roman statues which made the cache very amusing - guess you had to be there! TFTC
I was in the area for a meeting so thought I'd grab a nearby cache on the way home.
Easily spotted, and retrievable but there was a lad next door hitting tennis balls. I soon worked out he was using machine and had his back to GZ, so I made the grab and went for a wander to sign.
Returned cache as high as I could, before retrieving a ball for the lad that he'd edged up over the fence.

Off to a Tupperware party we decided to combine it with a caching day. We started by ourselves, then with CPwanderer, and finally with Honeysucker.
Just us for this one. It wasn't as hard as we expected. TFTC relativelymagic.

Found on my first visit a few weeks ago but needed help to retrieve it.
It almost defeated Featherlump too but she prevailed.
Sometimes I think I should carry a crate around with me just to level the playing field a bit!!
The log is damp and almost full.

Owl was early for an appointment, so went to find the nearest cache (which made her late for her appointment). Circumnavigated Walford (no mean feat in itself!), found the cache, but couldn’t reach the stars. Back today with Hawk and a stepladder, so all she had to do was point him in the right direction and watch out for muggles (which were mostly absent). Logbook was very full.
Found under the cover of darkness and trying to look like we werent up to no good, TFTC
Easy find worried about closeness ro student muggles at lunch but far enough away logbook wet
Found with thisiskitty, the log is saturated so we couldn't sign it, took a photo instead... TFTC
In the area with DPA for some geoshopping and some stretching for this one.
Thanks for the cache relativelymagic

That wasn't there last I was here... Good to finally get it out of the way!
Logbook is full and a bit wet.

Found this one easily ... signed log .... was just about to put it back, and a car pulled up and parked right next to GZ... now what to do???
Stood around for a while and tried to look casual... female muggle looked at me ... still tried to look casual ...
She then came up to me and asked what I was doing. In these cases I find it is best to fess up.
Told her I was geocaching ... blank looks from her ... showed her my GPS pointed out the cache ... actually got it down and showed it to her ... she seemed happier after this.
Not happy to be muggled today ... but I suppose it happens sometimes.
Seek3r-ed and found!

""Sneaky Squeaky" Woz ere" A quick but enjoyable find. From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C
Fairly certain a spot of cache creep has happened here, terrain could almost be a 1star
There must have been a falling stars as the cache was quite low, geo-hub replaced it a bit higher, but not out if reach : ) thank you for the find
Wow this street is full tonight something is going on close by... I hear some music... we had to park a couple of streets away and walk back... lucky there were no muggles when we go there...
Thanks for the cache relativelymagic:D
Thanks for the cache relativelymagic:D
I dont know what was going on down this way tonight but the street was packed with cars and so where the others close by. It took us a while to find somewhere to park but thankfully the find was straight forward TFTC
Drat, I was hoping for this combo of Difficulty and Terrain, and while I could see the stars I could NOT find the cache!
Have to say this is not out of reach of many. Terrain rating is way too high for this one now. I was glad it was where it was ,as I am vertically challenged.
After 10.5hrs of driving from Warrnambool to Adelaide yesterday, I had 2 whole days to go caching in Adelaide so I had to choose where I hit very wisely. I decided that one day I would hit some target caches within the general confines on Adelaide, and the next day I would attempt to knock off a decent portion of the Wandering Heroes series. Today was the day to hit the Adelaide CBD and various other areas with specific caches that I wanted to find. A great day all up finding some of the best caches Adelaide has to offer. This was the 23rd find of 34 finds for today.
Well this is the easiest T3.5 I've ever found!
Came here expecting a tree climb or something similar however while wandering around looking for a bison tube hanging high above in the trees, we found the cache! Too easy!
Signed the logbook and we were on our way again. Thanks relativelymagic

We had our car in for a service today and hubby went on foot to find a few caches. SL TFTC
Was in the area and had a bit of time to spare so stopped off for a quick find.

A quick little walk by. BUT I think it has been moved slightly as it was at eye height and not hard to get to as relativelymagic suggested it would be. I was kind of please because i was alone and walk. Cute little cache but lid seems a little damaged too.

On the way to the hardware I thought I would do a quick look.

Out with Mogni to do some night caching. Looked at the terrain and looked high and higher. Then saw it sticking out at eye level? Replaced at same height but better hidden. Needs owner intervention to replace to orginal hide as we don't know where that should be! Thanks relativelymagic. Easier 3 1/2 I have ever done!
Nosey muggle throught we were with the council or electricity as we were both still dressed in our work clothes and must have looked official. We put it back where it was but don't think it is in the exact spot it should be, however more accessable for those of us that are vertically challenged so left it where we found it.

Found this cache while on a caching trip to Adelaide. Found some great caches while there including a 5 difficulty traditional (I'm a Bastard 2), a 4 terrain traditional (Tapleys Bird) and many great hides in great locations through out Adelaide. Thank you Adelaide cachers for planting so many good caches. My wife did ask me to pick a favourite, and I think Besser Block Mail Box would have to be it, by Tamam Shud, Zen and the Art of Geocache Maintenance and the two above would be up there as well.
I did manage to find 250+ caches in the 5 days I had caching in Adelaide, and would like to thank Astro and Freddo for taking me on a night cache on the first day and Astro for giving me a couple of hints on some that I was stuck with.
Let me apologies for the generic log, especially if I have found more than one of your caches.

On my way home after having had a fantastic pizza tea at Duthy's pizza and pasta joint and I just had to get a cache or two or three for the night.
The rain started just as I arrived at GZ and I thought I may have to get soaking wet while I used an elevation adjusting geo tool to retrieve this cache.
However even vertically challenged locus cache could retrieve and replace this one without that geo tool!

I think that maybe this has slipped a little lower than its original position, as I didn't have to reach at all. Still a tricky hide but even the moderately height-challenged would not have any trouble with this.
Thanks for the cache, relativelymagic

Found it with vj187. It was not as high as we had thought it would be and even the two of us who are vertically challenged were able to reach it. TFTC
Greetings from Brisbane!
1st find of 33 found during a week long bus tour from Adelaide through the South Australian countryside to Lake Eyre and back. This awesome trip was an organised bus tour, full of (now half converted) muggles, and a bus driver that "has done a few geocaches with mates". The goal was to find a cache at every stop we made, if possible, but not to disrupt the tour. Mission accomplished.
Journey today included a 3 hour flight, a 3 km walk and a 3 second search
This cache was number one on my Adelaide "MUST DO" list. It has a D/T rating that cannot be found near home, so this was the first to aim for. Thankfully the find was made. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for this lovely cache.
Thanks for placing this cache, relativelymagic. Found in good condition.
{Overall find #1254}

This log is very wet and the container is split. I did not have a suitable container to swap. Thanks.
A very easy find in the cover of the night. We ordered thai takeaway at a shop nearby and on the way while we were waiting we stopped off to find the well hidden cache. 50th find!!! The only sad thing was that the log was almost falling apart with water. There is a surprisingly huge amount of muggles who walk down this street at night!!! It's great to have a cache on the way to get dinner. TFTC
Found,spotted from the work truck.Log is wet,had difficulty seperating the pages to sign log..Not so high but tucked in good spot...TFTC
The only metal thing within 10m of GZ is that power pole. I couldn't find anything stuck to it...
This was a quick one, standard urban cache. Not to any muggles except for the kids over the fence who I could hear and kept my attention on. Thank you!!!
A simple find. Still needs to be repositioned to up the difficulty to original status.
After getting scratched to bits in the bush, it was lovely to come to a more refined locale. Found after wandering the street for a few minutes, and then realising we were parked right next to it ! TFTC.
