Could not find

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

I suspect the old hiding spot has been removed when the new fence nearby went in...

Container was on the ground with no log etc. Looks as though the area has been upset by maintenance workers installing a new fence.

200th find! TFTC!

Easy great cache TFTC

Out grabbing some caches on New Year's Eve to hit my 500 milestone. My iPad was playing up but I still found it. TFTC Huxiekez

Could not find the cache

First cache I found with my young nephews

No trouble accessing this one today. In case you don't know, post an owner maintenance log to remove the needs maintenance attribute. Thanks huxiekez!

Unable access due to work on train line. May need temporary moving.

Lots of work going on here with the rail upgrade. Looked for a while but felt I'd looked suspicious for long enough

Lots of heavy earth moving machinery.
The park will be quite altered when they depart.
Got to GZ but earth works and the associated muggles made anything other than a cursory glance impossible. I will watch and return.

Quick find after work

Quick find to fill in a gap on my caching calender. Nice tidy hide.

Thanks for the cache huxiekez

A bit wet and didnt want to stick around.

Muggle partner had work to do near here and so I headed out to locus cache a few times!
So many of the caches down this way have DNFs on the logs for ages that I decided to try somewhere and this cache was that somewhere
A nice quick find in the drak

found it. There wasn't any trains that day, but it was a train stations that was there.

With no trains running today a quick find for this one in todays hot weather TFTC

Lucky enough to approach this from the correct side [8].
All quiet - no muggles or trains. TNLNSL.
Thanks Huxiekez.

Our first find for the day as we make the push towards 3000 before the end of the year. Happy to report we made it later before lunch today. Pity no trains pass here anymore.

Thanks huxiekez

When the wife had a Chrissie party, I get to catch. This one was nice and easy.

Nice lil cache

In the evening we went for a stroll and collected this cache.

A LITTLE CONCERNED INITIALLY BUT THEN FOUND IN AN APPROPRIATE PLACE. TFTC

A nice spot for railway enthusiasts and an easy find.

Easy find,TFTC

Greetings from Tasmania

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.

Were merging the accounts of QinNai and PrincessConsuela. Thats why we do this re-logging. Previously logged as Qinnai. TFTC!Caching with PC and TWDG again, TFTC!

Caching with PC and TWDG again, TFTC!

Quick find after work with Princess Consuela & QinNai.
Spot to fill on the grid today
TFTC

Thanks for the cache, few muggles around. TFTC SL TNLN.

Quick find. Not much chance of any trains here. TFTC

Found it at around 7:00 At Night, A very easy find even though it was dark. Good hint!
TFTC. An interesting little street too!

found on a tuesday afternoon. Interesting spot with a big slab of rail missing.

Early morning find on Saturday with the kids. Good fun!

Not sure where the carpark was. Or the park for that matter. This was at end of a road next trainline.
Admittedly I found it in the dark!
Do they know about 5m of track is missing here? I guess they do?
Thanks

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

Found with VJ187. TFTC

Nice quick find and sign.

Out doing a few caches and this was one we targetted and found. Most enjoyable.
Thanks to huxiekez for the cache.

Did in stealth mode at night haha. Drove right past the turn into carpark thinking it was a private driveway

Found it

Was a bit of fun for our first cache.

Lots of birds chirping!

quick find on a nice morning walk whilst visiting with friends TFTC

No trains, one cache.

Tftc

It's a find after some poor results nearby

A quick find this morning. Hardest part was finding the right road into the area! Thanks huxiekez for the cache.

Found during a caching run in the southern suburbs. Thanks for the cache huziekez!

Found on a Friday night cache-date with the geo-Mrs.

Went on a caching expedition with CPwanderer. One of 45 for the day.
Thankyou huxiekez

The madness!!! Did this in pouring rain early sunday morning!!!! Thanks huxiekez for the cache!!!(it remained dry.... we didnt!!

I feel any place is a good place for a cache if it gives you the chance to go a hunting. SL TFTC

Found in the company of the Chief (Dad) and the Walenators 4 days into our SA adventure. A good way to get my driving hours up! What's going on, it's cool and wet, this is supposed to be summer! TFTC

We had trouble trying to go down a road that never existed but was on our map. Anyway we went back and soon arrived at GZ. Nice quiet street and had no muggles to bother us. Cache was found. TFTC

Not quite sure why you'd bring anyone here? We found the cache and left, not the prettiest or most interesting part of Adelaide by any stretch. TFTC

What a weird spot to come to... The local yokels in the units adjacent had a fair bit to "say" to each other as their infant howled... Really added to the atmosphere for this cache... [:o)]. All finders need to ignore the hint as it is a little misleading and suggests that safety isn't likely, but this cache is perfectly safe. Tftc.

Well we headed across the track and noticed what we suspected would be the likely hiding spot given the description and coordinates. A lot of yelling from the flats nearby had us at a sign and run as we could not tell who the noise was directed at. TFTC

Umm, thanks for bringing me to this little unattractive park behind some units, I guess! The coords were a little toward the railway tracks, but checking previous logs confirmed that there was no need to go there. I eventually found the cache by feel, after trying hard to look there and still failing to see it. Don't you hate it when people put the logbooks back into eclipse tins the wrong way around? Makes it very tricky to extract them.

TNLN - Thanks huxiekez!

No problems finding this one today. Thanks huxiekez.

Hint had me worried a bit, but was a safe area. Quick find. SL TFTC

found it! good little spot. well hidden! tftc

Reasonably quick find, hate going into bushes, heaps of bugs, sl tftc

awesum day out on the tall bike quick easy find TFTC huxiekez

A quick find after dissapearing into the bushes together. We weren't derailed from our searching and soon found the cache.

TFTC

great hide plenty of mugglers around but found undetected tftc

no trains but a good find was made

Easy find thanks.

No trouble finding this one, even without reading any text. (I uploaded this one to my basic xTrek ages ago and had forgotten all details). I went to school at Mitchell Park Primary (now Clovelly park) in the 80's. Looks like it is still going strong. TFTC.

Nice spot. TFTC AND JIL.

Found at 12:00.
I needed to use the clue, which amused me. At first I thought "no way", then realised what you meant, which gave me chuckle.

Had a couple of hours while the GeoDaughter was at school rehearsals so grabbed a few nearby caches that were on the radar.

Used the clue as the GPS was jumping around. TFTC.

Found just as I was about to leave... GPS couldn't settle, but seemed to be having the same trouble at other locations too. Clue is accurate although could be misleading for some if you don't think about it.

Found in the company of ParisLaura while on a Girls day out caching.

I must say I am not at all happy with this cache placement!
The co-ords and the clue combined lead one straight to the railway line and if I had had my kids about with me this would be very dangerous indeed!!

Silly place for a cache and initially misleading and dangerous clue. I don't think this is safe and I think it needs to be archived!
Please review this placement. [:(!]

GZ had us on the tracks and with the clue I am sure people would go and check the little tunnel actually on the tracks - was relieved it was not near the tracks but on the fence line is still a little risky especially if there were kids around.

Found this one after a little search. Thank goodness for the hint - my GPS was bouncing around. No trains around today. SL. TFTC.

Day 349 of non-stop caching.

Must be my lucky day, not often do you see a train on this track. Easy find once I got to the correct side of the railway line. Thanks huxiekez for the cache.

Another find in our school holiday 'cache down south' afternoon. TFTC

Big day of caching (on foot) while the car is in for major service. Had a quick stop and a bite to eat (BYO) here while waiting for a plague of Sacred Heart school kids (+ teacher) to wander passed. Nicely cammoed. TFTC huxiekez.

Our GPSr was bouncing all over the place but we finally settled and found the cache quite easily. Have to agree with others that the shape of the logbook is making it difficult to get out, and the first few pages are tearing badly.

Quick find TFTC.
Suggest better log as difficulty in getting out is tearing the paper,

GPS was a little off, so took a little while to find, but got it eventually. TFTC

Following the track this afternoon I wandered straight passed this one before hunting around for GZ. Once I saw the spot for GZ I knew I was in the right place and sure enough the cache was in hand after a quick reach around. TFTC on a nice sunny Adelaide afternoon. (Now I should get back to work

No trains to bitsamissing passed. After the saga at the last cache this was a walk on the tracks. No skate boards, dudes or muggles encountered. Clear skies. Thanx for the fun.

Had a few minutes to spare so thought i'd give this one a go.

Found it easily enough but felt very exposed when signing the log.

Tftc

Went back this evening to find this one. Quick find. TFTC

I parked on the wrong side of the tracks. Found it ok while the muggle watched me. It was Ginger cat.
Thanks huxiekez for the cache.

Took only a minute to locate GZ and then find the cache safe and well.

TFTC

Tricky train stop. I'd like to see a train go up those tracks.

Tried to find this one today. A lady came out of the flats and informed us that this is Private Property.

Same happened to me as Reluctant Ninjas, 2 women told me I was on private property and even continued lecturing me after I got off.

Coordinates changed from:
S 35° 00.039 E 138° 33.983

Coordinates changed to:
S 35° 00.058 E 138° 33.991

Distance from original: 122.4 feet or 37.3 meters.

Moved slightly and co-ordinates updated due to possible private property.
Sorry fellow Geocachers .

STF for me. Excellent hide spot. Signed the log. Thanks huxiekez.

I was sitting at home deciding which cache to visit to keep the streak going when the notification of some new caches came in. Great, one close to home.

I found the cache about 10m from where the GPSr wanted me to look, thanks to the hint. Bronze for me, some people are quick off the mark.

Thanks for the cache huxiekez.

As we left work in the city, we saw the cache published so off we went. We parked on the wrong side of the tracks, of course! Thanks to a great clue we soon claimed FTF. Our GPS phone had us around 10 metres from GZ but it was probably our equipment. Thanks for the great hide!
