Found it and also did not found it. The "net" in the tree is still there but not the box anymore. I think the owner should have a look.

Had a look around, found one of the dasterly duo bit no frog, found the cache hide but no cache. Cheers, I'll be back
What a great cache right in the CBD so nice to find a decent log book The cache is in good condition TFTC Chingola
Found without too much trouble. It helped to be able to count to three. After grabbing the cache a muggle pulled up behind our car. Must be a local we thought. So we jumped in the car and drive down the street, signed the log and drove around the block back to the cache location. When we returned the local was still there... Turns out the muggle was actually another geocacher. Nice to meet Jude, who replaced the cache. Tftc.
On my way home from the nearby event and took a slight detour to grab this one.
Pulled up at GZ and waited for muggles to get in their car and leave. Started looking around, GPSr had me on the wrong side of the road, and I had just read the hint and counted to three when the same car drove up again. [?]
Met The Cachaholics who had driven round the block with the cache as they thought I was a muggle! Was given the cache and shown its home, signed the log and replaced the cache.
Thanks for the cache chillibutts and nice to meet you Cachaholics.

Alas a DNF. Visiting from Sydney and on a time limit all I could do was walk by and admire the garden. All good. No doubt I was deceived by some clever camouflage! Or I just didn't look hard enough
Janet managed to find it while Brad blundered aimlessly in the wrong growth! Nice cache. TNLNSL TFTC

A nicely done cache. I'm surprised this is still here, but then again, it's not an oft used area by the look of it.
Took nothing, left nothing.

After our plans failed to have tea in the suburbs we headed to town to go to the pancake kitchen, after tea we decided to grab some city caches while its quiet, taking a friend that hasn't cached before he had an absolute ball, we cached through to just after 1 am, we could have kept going but sleep was much needed,reading the title i all of a sudden had the tune going through my head lol, cache was quick to find after reading the clue as gps had me in the wrong spot, the joys of buildings blocking the signal. TFTC
Excellent little cache found in the city. I was muggled out by traffic inspectors, but when coast was clear made my move. Retrieving it was a challenge, but worth the effort. Tftc.
TFTC - A quick find as it was very quiet in the street when i was there.
The string bag is starting to show its age - still operational, but some of the cammo is missing.
Freddo & Astro are both still intact and guarding the cache.

Found freddo in one tree but just a string in the right tree. Cache was safely found in the middle one. TFTC
Thanks for the hint as my GPSr had me quite a way away. Knew I was close when I located a red herring, then another....then the cache!!! Thanks chillibutts
2504. Found with Relish64.
When this one popped up on the list with all the favourites, we decided to check it out for ourselves. Can't believe we found Freddo and then Astro before the container. Well I can really. TFTC

Out on a warm and windy day in Radelaide not far from my favourite computer store and managed to find this one. GPS was out but the hint narrowed it down where to look

Nice quick grab in Adelaide from Canberra for geowifes school reunion a 1 night stay but there is always time to grab a few caches TFTC
Nice and quiet around the site on a Monday morning. Loved the cache, thanks Chillibutts.
Owl found a cache sitting in a tree
C.A.C.H.I.N.G.
Hidden from muggles quite carefully.
Oh, My, Oh, Wow, How could that be?

My first thought was "oh no....a tree cache"
A tree cache back home requires a climbing harness and rope.
So glad this was more accessible.

Happy Days! Papa-bro and Joey picked me up from work this afternoon and we were able to squeeze in a cache on the way out.
A quick find ... but tricky due to the muggles sitting on balcony having drinks, driving around the block, riding bikes, getting in and out of cars and walking down the street.
Great cache chillibutts, thanks

Damn rain. At least an easy find ... getting into the cache to sign the log on the other hand. lol
Geohusband was acquiring his new keyboard and mouse from the computer store, so I did a quick few caches while he was playing with his accessories. Found the astro red herring first and knew the log wouldn't be far away.
Cheers Chillibutts for the comical speel

Day 6 cache 6 of the 31 days of Geocaching in August. What a great anxiety causer and dexterity tester all in one cache, alright perhaps doing it at in broad daylight at lunchtime contributed to the anxiety. Great camo. TFTC
1st of the 31 days of caching. Nice hide. It was the 3rd Trio I looked at that came up trumps . Freddo and Astro do hang out a lot together and this cache is a good tribute to that!
I am in adelaide for the weekend for a friends birthday so I came down a day earlier to grab some caches in the city. It turns out I was looking around the wrong "trio" for way too long. I corrected my position and started looking again. Hmmm what is that? No logbook attached.. keep looking. AHA! I grabbed the logbook out and signed my name then replaced it in its little place. Thanks for the cache!
As with recent finders, we were initially on the wrong side of the street until the hint set us straight. A great little cache and lots of fun. TFTC!
My GPSr took me to the wrong side of the road. I was puzzled until I read the hint. TFTC!
Found today on our weekend in Adelaide. Mrs Iamapom waited near the corner in the car watching a succession of sheepish looking gentlemen arrive in family cars and visit the "paid-for grown-up cuddle establishment" on the corner. While she was fascinated watching that, including a man arriving in a Suburu with the child seat.... I went for the cache. Looked at one... what's that ? Looked at the other ... what's that ? Oh so I'm in the right spot then ! Went for the correct one, and dived in. Was back there for a while, hoping that no-one came out of the residences. Luckily no-one did, and the cache was replaced easily. And thanks for the very cool, if a bit creepy, experience.
Spy Gecko is a team made up of spyjordy and Purple Gecko for the scouts geocaching competition. Thank you for placing caches that assist us during this competition. Tftc sl
arm in arm. lol had a ball took a guess as the sat lock was struggling today but the geosense was spot on. TFTCSL
Found with jezza_nator, greedy parrot, AtomicRabbit and luckylu66, after May the forth. All the caches we found afterwards were very clever. This was no exception. Great cache, well set up. Names often say it all! Thanks for the fun, Tftc Chillibutts
Found after attending the flash mob. Great hide.

found after the flash mob, was a bit confused at first and then realised we were on the wrong side of the street. Quickeasy find once we were in the richt place. tftc sl
A quick easy find after realising I was looking on the wrong side of the street, where I had been searching for about 10 minutes! Doh!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Took a detour while heading home from uni to find this one. Awesome hide, awsome container. Put it back just as a muggle came out to check the letterbox!
Thanks for the cache chillibutts

#4003. Excellent arrangements. Had to dodge a few muggles as there was an "open home" in the street for a forthcoming auction. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Our 3rd day of caching in Adelaide, today we teamed up with Earthlight & with her local knowledge of the area made this a very interesting & successful day of caching.
This was one of the caches we found during the day.
I would say a man put this caching experiance together. Good hide
Favourite point given.
Thanks chillibutts

In the city for a fringe event with some spare time before the show. A short search and I had tracked down the cache. I carefully extracted the log book, signed and replaced without disturbing the excellent camo too much. TFTC chillibutts.
while in the big city on a night run. After a quick look, Great hide I did like this one. TFTC.
Found on a night caching trip with LionJRB in the Adelaide CBD. I am from Ballarat and I have very much enjoyed finding caches in a city I have never been to before. TFTC Chillybutts.
A special cache because it was my 250th!!!!!!

Find number 200!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Decided to find a creative cache for #200 and loved this one, and what was in the neighbouring trees! Find number 8 of the afternoon. TFTC and my 200th find! Loved it! Celebrated in the car with a packet of chocolate covered coffee beans. I hope I can get to sleep!!! I have rowing tomorrow! TFTC!!!!!!!! 200!!!!!
On the first orbit of the area it was a bit muggly.
I did locate GZ though
I rode off to find another cache....
On the second orbit of the area it was less muggly.
I located the cache
I was thankful of the pushbike and a fizzy cola to provide some 'invisibility'.
Cache retrieval and logbook extraction were a lot fussier than I expected
Astro and Freddo are still getting along well it seems.
So I rehid the cache, which took longer than I hoped
A fun cache in a busy place !! [^]
Thanks for not making it a puzzle

This is such a cool cache my always reliable GPS took me somewhere else but the clue certainly helped you guys look peaceful in there TFTC!
Found during our big night-to-dawn caching marathon with Team Pedal Pushers, Sparkey25 and Whites on Windsor.
Great cache Freddo and Astro, nice tree to sit in.

Currently out on a dusk to dawn caching expedition through the more muggle central areas, with jeffeddy, team pedal pushers and whites on Windsor. Thanks for your cache

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 3rd find of 34 finds for today.
This one was most certainly on my to-do list for today being a chillibutts hide and having quite a few favourite points to boot. I had absolutely no idea what I was to expect but I guess that's half the fun . After letting the GPS take us to the wrong area, we used our cache sense and found an appropriate spot. I noticed a few things around GZ and then soon after, I noticed the cool cache with a nice camo job . I struggled to retrieve the logbook for a little while so I called in for help. Not long after that the logbook was signed, replaced and the cache was back in position
Thanks chillibutts for this cool cache!

I also you was on the wrong side of the road. once found was delighted. a great one for the geokids.
Third attempt and of course it take the spider kid to locate. A few clues near GZ which threw us off course for a minute. Very colourful. Cheers and TFTC
Thx to another log I got to the right place, where i first found astro on its own. tftc from switzerland
Co-ords initially took me to some obvious trees but when gps eventually settled in the middle of the road, did a 180 and made a quick find elsewhere. Bit tricky getting cache out of its camo though.
Searched in the dark.
Not really seeing what we were supposed to see we left to find some others.
Cache is probable snug in it's hiding spot

Found after a hint from one of the caching duos mentioned. I was looking on the wrong side of the street. I met these two recently when they visited Mt Gambier. There was some caching in trees as I recall. Tftc.
Now seriously that I would love to see. Went for a walk with The Old Rev and together we found the cache. Loved the work that was put into the hide. SL TFTC
Good things do come in threes. With muff1 after the pub lunch found Freddo and Astro. TFTC chillibutts
# 1813. Staying in Adelaide for the weekend. Robmc and I had our bicycles with us so decided to do a park crawl around the four sides of the city and find some caches along the way. We also detoured in a little closer for a few. This was an enjoyable experience, Robmc located freddo and then we located GZ and before we left we also sighted astro. A fun cache, but a very tricky one trying to get the cache out to sign and replace log. TFTC
Spent today caching with Bettyboo3747, riding around the Adelaide parks
We had scoffed lunch and then we were going to continue around the parklands, but they were all mysteries, so we hit the city streets.
The GPSr was of no use, but the clue was. Found a freddo first, then the cache (found astro latter)
Nice hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found in the wee hours.
Not a soul stirring. Just part music in the distance.
Quick find, not so quick through the cammo though.
Grabbed the watermelon tb

It took a little bit to think about the 3 once work out nice quick poick up love the camo.....Drop off a TB...TFTC
Nice hide, found the dangling ones and thought for a moment it was gone, but continued on and found the cache. A quiet Sunday morning was perfect time for a quick search ! TFTC.
Couldn't find this one, after looking on a couple of occasions. I felt a bit exposed searching here. Too tricky for me.
Not sure what they were doing apart from sitting to get themselves in such a tangle! TFTC
A nice easy find, though it took longer to extract than it did to find or sign!
All quiet on a Sunday arvo.

Had a bit of a look around, but with doubtful sat accuracy, thought we move on before we aroused suspicion from any neighbours.
Must admit took me a little while to find the right 3, but when I did it was all good.

Got to love it when muggles have heard of caching. He may have missed me, but it was at that moment my phone beeper. Muggle seemed happy, I have a smiley. Sunny day.
THANK GOD! Finally a find... felt like I was going crazy and i dont know how I missed, have looked there twice before. TFTC... Wouldn't want to be the butt of your joke.
Cache #47.
Cute cache.
Bit of a tricky retrieval, LOTS of muggles...
We stood silent, waited, quick sign, and off again..
