Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
It would appear that the cache owner needs to look at this cache placement.
I have put a watch on it to confirm it is fixed before it goes back on line.

Out and about with Ismartis doing a few caches and some Ingressing as we head down south, seeing this one has finds on it we went straight to where the GPS had us last time and found it really quickly, not really the best of hides and reading the logs the park owner is asking this cache is removed, i should be putting a "Needs Archiving" after seeing these logs, please reconsider this hide as we want to keep the muggles happy.
Unfortunately I was muggles by the caravan owner who drove in halfway through my search. He knew I was geocaching and was really pissed that people kept snooping around the front of his park. He wanted me to let the cache owner know he wants it removed. He may have muggled it last time. Maybe kenneth&co might want to explain to him we mean no harm. TFTC
Tried this one some time ago and it wasn't there...tried again tonight after seeing that the CO had replaced and moved it? I don't get it! Co says its 10 metres from co-ords...why not update the co-ords as a previous log has requested.
I searched for ages with no luck 10 metres from original location and was just about to give up.
Tried the original co-ords and there it was. picked up a TB but I'm still puzzled as to why its listed as 10 metres away. Just looked again and the CO was the one who listed it as a "FIND"?? saying try original co-ords?
Glad to get the smiley face though.

Found it but not where the CO said it was....spent ages looking 10 metres from the original location with no luck. I wasted half an hour of caching time.
It was at the original co ordinates under the original tree. ??? why would you list that it's 10 metres away if its at the original co ordinates?
! Dropped off a TB because anyone who find it deserves a reward.

! Dropped off a TB because anyone who find it deserves a reward.A local told us it wasn't there anymore. The tree it was originally under has been severely trimmed.
Don't think it's here...we were caught by a fellow geocacher, and he said the same thing...
Found it easy enough while introducing new people to geocaching. Took bracelet left eco forks
We looked where suggested near the small fence approx 10m from the listed coords, but didn't have any luck finding the cache 
Tried to find today but given the new note which direction are we going? Looked around surrounding scrub but no joy.
Was not able to find. Note says it was relocated about 10m away, please update coordinates for cache or specify in what direction from origin it was moved.
After being destroyed by muggled this cache has been replaced
new location is about 10m left from the gps coordinates (when facing the caravan park)you miht have do rustle through some undergrowth! Goodluck

We have replaced the cache, previous one was removed by perhaps the gardeners from the park. Cache has been moved from coordinates location, it is now about ten metres away. so it can be well hidden. Enjoy and happy holidays!
I believe a Gardening Muggle has removed this one. The garden bed under the Holiday Tree has fresh mulch & has been tidied up recently.

Today we headed down south to cache a few different areas with earthlight, plenty of time to look but i reckon this one may be gone.
Our first DNF……..or should I say Could Not Look due to curious muggle parked at GZ.
After several casual strolls past, and numerous attempts by rapGod to employ his usual muggle defeating bag of tricks, muggle just got curiouser and curiouser!!!
Will have to return another day, maybe not on a public holiday next time.

Found it, cache was filled with water, with floating swag! Drained it, log was slightly wet! Took diamond and left blue squinkie!
Found while on a holiday in the area before our permanent move next year. We were on our way to Moana beech which I must say is a lovely place to be.
Finally getting around to doing the last few in the area. This caravan Park is always packed over summer, figured it'd be a perfect spot to drop a TB. TFTC
easy find but was discovered rather full of water. tipped it out and the log book was rather dry so it's okay. TFTC (:
Went for a drive down to Moana stopping for a few caches along the way. Was very grey, cold and windy and the sea was very rough. Got to GZ and found the cache, retrieved it, signed log and replaced. No muggles around today. Thanks for the cache kenneth&co.
First cache of the day with the members of Team Bleden. Quick easy find, and reminded me of a holiday I had here many years ago!! TFTC
I spent two days 'down south' with TeamBleden + JMCH, Featherlump, and YeahNo! to try and boost our totals for the Scouts Geocaching Competition.
We started off in Moana on Tuesday morning, grabbing 'Holiday Fun!', 'Pathway to the beach', and 'Under The Miss Miss Tree'. 'Under the Miss Miss Tree' was in a lovely park, and everyone liked the playground! We tried to get 'Shoot Some Hoops', but unfortunately, some Muggles were doing just that - playing basketball. So we had to give it a miss.
We then moved on to the '40 Winks' power trail, and I even managed to grab a trackable from #06.
The 'stretch' of caches from #9 - #13 was almost nothing but mud, and everyone slipped and slid around a lot. We came across a group of muggles playing in the mud near #13, so had to come back to it later.
Finishing off the first day with #14-#17, we managed to also grab Pilot's Fancy at the same time. There were plenty of planes flying around, and we even got to see several take-offs and landings!
In the end, we grabbed 21 caches on Tuesday, with 1 DNF. Not bad for four and a half hours!
We set off again on Wednesday morning, grabbing #18 to #26 in quick succession, and also managed to get 'Beer & Fruit', a quick find, and a brief detour down to 'The Old Gumtree", which is quite a clever hide in a nice spot - JMCH even managed to grab a trackable! Sadly, we had no luck on #34, but we moved on, and reached #41 in the end.
Later on, we made a quick stop at Port Willunga for a few caches, grabbing 'Shipwreck', and 'Pirates Treasure'.
Sorry about the generic logs, however I think I have given a good description of what I got up to! Thanks all of the CO's involved, and thanks to everyone who came along.

Not sure why this took me as long as it did. I think I was more concerned about the passing traffic than actually looking for the damn thiing. As a kid, family holidays for me generally consisited of carvan parks and on-site vans or cabins. Nothing better!! TFTC kenneth&co.
Looked for his one two days ago, but was looking at the wrong trees ha ! Didnt realise until i looked at the map. Turned the cache upside down as it seemed to stand out abit too much. Beautiful place, TFTC
Should have taken a star. Maybe would not have got so many needles scratching. TFTC
Hope there wasn't anyone watching from the caravan park reception [8)] - it was all pretty quiet this morning 
.
Circled until we spotted it [8]. Took man. Left frog. SL.
Thanks Kenneth&co.

An easy find after a surfing lesson. There was no pen in the cache and I didn't have one I could leave.
Another day heading south with the goal of getting to Victor Harbor and today we finally made it but it took 5 hours to get there - too many distractions (caches) along the way. It was good day with 57 finds, 3 hides and a little sunburn.
Quick find and sign. TFTC.
