Showed my cousin what a cache can look like. She saw a nano earlier in the day. This one surprised here, tftc.
Got caught in a down pour! Here’s the rainbow... we found the little pit of gold!
The shopping centre was full go today as school had just finished and a lot of parents were doing after school shopping. A bit of rubbish at gz unfortunately, cache was a quick find once the muggle path was clear.
No real plan for today other than to collect a few caches south that I solved whilst back in Tasmania for the summer period, walking around in 40 degrees isn’t much fun although a substantial amount if water was taken which helped a lot.
Thanks for the cache.

Thanks chappos for another great cache. No need for retail respite, I rarely enter those mall things. Cache would suit a night time grab as well lit area. Container in good condition but needed paper so I added some. Lovely to see the galahs in the gums. Cache on.
We have found this cache during our holiday in Adelaide. Greetings from Czech republic.
Tftc! Spent a little time searching for this one, as it appeared on the map that the GC was inside the park. I walked past the hiding place many times, and then spent about 15 minutes looking for a entry. Then went back to the place to look again. GPS was al over the place, until I finally found it! Good hide.
We've been past this one a few times but waited for the right opportunity to make the find. It was quiet in the carpark today and we found the cache in a likely spot. Great location for a hide and a beaut cache. All in good condition. Thanks. 
Called by to check here.
Cache has been refreshed and awaits your attention...!

Yes this is a lovely spot in the car park using all the hints it wasn’t too hard to locate this cool cache TFTC
As has been the case lately I have arrived somewhere and wondered if there was a cache nearby and today was no exception. We were dropping the geoson off for a birthday party and grabbed some lunch to eat before taking the geopooch for a walk. I pulled out my phone and opened the app to find I was right on top. Quick find and sign before returning. Strange that someone went in to the future to sign the log though.....

TFTC. A nice easy find late Sunday night after Mother’s Day dinner. Muggle free and no torch needed.
A quick find just before dinner. A lovely little spot, although it’s slightly creepy in the dark! TFTC
Found it after a little search at trees etc, finally found it a relaxed on the seat to write in the log book. Public holiday so very quiet today.
Movie night tonight. What better way to start than by finding a couple of caches. TFTC
After a movie is a good time to find a cache. Actually anytime is a good time. Thanks for bringing me back to a place I used to spend a lot of time when I didn't want to be at school nearby.

After considering a more logical hiding place based on the description and some distance from GZ a find was made, stealthily of course and replaced safely back. A buzz of activity today but no one seemed to take any notice of the snake. TFTC
Lots of muggles around but the beauty of looking with a 5 yo means nobody bats an eye. TFTC
Finally nabbed this one with absolutely not a muggle to be seen at 20:00 on a Wednesday night after a Pub Catch Up, event at the Cremorne not too far North of here 
Normally there is always a Muggle or two stirring even at this time especially on a week night... I must have just been lucky [^] Found after about a minutes search under torchlight. SL at 20:00 on Wed 31 May 2017 and I was outa there before the Muggles emerged as they do..... They didn't, even after about 5 minutes in total, sweet as! The cache and contents are fine and dry [^] TFTC thechappos

Had just got cache for the day nearby and had to call into the shopping centre to run a couple of errands. Got some lunch, completed the errands and wandered over to GZ to contemplate where to look while I ate lunch. Not a lot of muggles around even though it was a nice day. GPS wanted me over there but that didn't match the rather obvious hints, so started to use other devices to search without attracting too much suspicion. Then spotted the cache. Extracted the log, signed and replaced. Glad to get this one off the radar. Had tried a couple of times previously but it was muggle city each time and just could not do anything without muggles close by.

Found it but had to wait for Muggles to disperse as it could get quite busy. Good location.
So many spider webs-bit tricky to feel around for with out making it obvious I was looking for something but managed. Thought I might have grabbed spider - but nope it was the cache.
Took longer than we expected, the GPS was all over the place, so it wasn't where it first pointed us, but it was found at a nice place to view the first spot from behind! TFTC
After a 12hr shift, in the dark, I decided this would be a good cache to go for day #32, low muggle time...I located GZ pretty easy but the eyes weren't seeing anything...continuing my search, I looked there 3 times before spotting it...it wasn't that hard in the end...TFTC thechappos
Quick easy cache on our way to 50!! Only 3 more to go 
It was like to rest after a 10km cache journey, the spiders were great company too. TFTC

After having lunch nearby and in between appointments and the rain I stopped off here to grab this cache. 
I wasn't too hopeful as there were the usual muggles coming and going in the middle of the day. [?]
My GPSr had me going round and round but when I reread the description there was really only one place it could be.
Had a bit of a rest while I signed the log and replaced the cache and the muggles were none the wiser.
Thanks for the cache thechappos.

Found! Great hide. Took some people new to geocaching for their first caches. Hard to go with minimal muggles. Also the log is full, a replacement one might be needed! Signed as geo-dudes.
Found this one at night (hence less muggles) - took a bit of searching but found it - signed log then headed across to HJ's for a soft-serve reward
