Had a good look around but no cache was revealed before the allotted time was up.
Hopefully I'll have more luck next time.
Thanks for the hunt Mrs Mellison

Nothing for me today. Turning rocks over at random isn't my idea of a good time but might try this one again in the future. Lots of rubbish in this area unfortunately.
Took a bit to find, log is damp!
After arriving back from Brisbane this morning I decided to collect a few caches around where I am currently staying.

After collecting a few higher terrain caches in the Watiparinga Reserve LiB & I continued our afternoon of caching...
Found our way down...the ground was covered with soursobs & nasturtiums so made searching a little more challenging...
Eventually the cache was found hiding amongst the nasturtiums...
Cache signed and placed back...

Having said our goodbyes to Davidwazza, hevwalker & I agreed on only finding cache drive-bys. We were starting to feel the aches and pains from an afternoon walk around Watiparinga Reserve. This one looked close enough to the road... uh oh, nope, it's down there and "down there" is covered in greenery!
Thankfully hevwalker had a cache in hand before we gave up

I was glad we didn't come at night following the Garmin's compass to this one, managed to pick our way down to the flattish area of GZ, then noticed a lady doggle & realised there was an easier way down,. Dhoor! Cache soon found nicely tucked away.Lost pen on route so couldn't sign log book.------TNLN---------TFTC
Nice little walk with the pups, another park we've never visited. Started at the top, then read the hint, so made our way down for a quick find. Dropped TB. Thanks for bringing us here, and TFTC.
Looked for a while till I thought I'd head back to basics. There it was. co-ords a little off but that's prolly due to the cliff. Great spot here. TNLN. Cheers.
Spent way too long hunting under hundreds of rocks - which is where my gps was telling me to be.
Did much pruning of grasses to the councils pleasure.
Finally decided to expand search area and headsmack soon followed.
Took gamepiece TB.

After a quiet morning walk i went hunting for this....down the hill...up the hill walk through prickles... nearly gave up...then my gps kicked in...and there it was! Dropped a trackable for ricky spool cache. Thank you another walking place i didn't know existed!
A bit easier now that the grass is mostly dead.
Great little hide, thanks Mrs Mellison.

Resorted to the PAF option. Ashame people use this as a dump site. Lots of broken bottles around so be careful
the clue saved me time, which was good considering that today was over 35 degrees. cache fine and log dry
Searched around for about 15min.
Looks like the whole area got mowed recently.
It still might be there but I couldn't see it.

My signal was playing up a bit today, however was able to locate this one with the good clue. Interesting rock formations here. Thanks for the hide.
Found after a quick hunt, all dry on a wet Sunday afternoon geocaching. Signed log
SEMIK, Good Look and I met up after work for some night time geocaching.
This cache as amongst the ones we foundduring our little adventure.
We had an awesome evening - thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

I took the synthetic path while the others went around. It gave me zero advantage. Moneydork finally spotted it in its hiding spot. Neat location, thanks!
Oh man that is one big drop! SEMIK and I initially went one way but after scrambling down one level I went back up and around the long way (but much safer) to get down to the bottom of the location, however SEMIK was brave and went over the rocks and down.
Out with Moneydork and SEMIK for a Tuesday night caching run until SEMIK bailed on us as she had a better offer .
Not such a quick or easy find at night, but Moneydork placed his hands on the prize eventually.

Had some geo-dad drop off duties at Flinders Uni. Guess I better go and do some caching whilst I am in the area. Had 3 DNFs and 3 finds. Decided to head home grab a bite of lunch and then cache my way back down to perform geo-dad pick up duties. Obviously all I need was food as I found all 5 I attempted after lunch. [^]
One last one before pick up. started on top and took the long and less steep way to bottom. Quickly sighted something not quite natural and soon had the cache in hand. Glad it was at the bottom and not half way up. Thanks Mrs Mellison.

TFTC. Out for a walk with a geofriendly mate and decided to take a detour to find the cache. Coordinates were spot on and found right on dusk. Such a pretty little place that I didn't know was there. Thanks for bringing us here!
I grew up not far from here and we used to come and play near this quarry and further down in the creek when we were kids, so I knew the paths to get to where I needed to get to. Used to be able to see my house from here, but all the trees have grown a lot and can only see a hit of red roof through the gaps. TFTC. 31/10/2015, 14:25 Find #1059

Elder J was lost yesterday so today I retraced his steps and found him with flowers behind his ears and capers in his mouth. I also found the cache. Signed, The slightly younger Ms A.
There were all the usual geocaching suspicious piles of rocks, covered densely with nasturtiums. If I had fallen over no one would have ever found me! I'll have to return with younger members of the team for another try.
A nice little spot for a cache took a little longer to find whith all the sour sobs hiding potential hidey holes but a methodical search soon had the elusive hide in hand TFTC Mrs Mellison
Well, second time's a charm with this one - a pretty straight forward find without the nasturtiums around. Nice little nook for the cache and nice location. Surprised by how few finds this cache gets! TFTC Mrs Mellison!
Found it within about 5 minutes, after waiting around for about 20 minutes for 2 other people also looking for it!

Last year, maybe even 2012 I logged a DNF on this one after searching the area for an hour and a half at night, This night, in the pitch black I managed to walk straight up to it and find the cache! And the spooky thing is, I walked past it about 20 different times last year and still didn't spot it! Creepy! Well, we found it this time with no troubles at all, Maybe it was the etrex 30 instead of the etrex 10, or my better honed caching senses that tipped the odds to be in my favour, who knows! TFTC Mrs Mellison!
Not a good cache to try and find in the night. We only had one torch and we were tripping on all of the loose rubble and bricks and stone. Gave up after 15 minutes of vigorous searching.
A quick find after expanding the search area in the correct direction.
Thanks for the cache The Mellisons.

No luck today, nasturtiums everywhere made it hard to find good footing (assuming we were looking in the right spot).
No luck today, lots of Nasturtium's and bees around GZ which may have concealed the cache, nice location, thanks.
Nice quick find in a great little loc! Never been down here. Junior Radney spied the hidey hole. TFTC.
A bit wet underfoot, but an easy find.
Sadly the 'Toyota Corolla Bug' TB was not present in the cache as logged. (I see that Hot Mess discovered it at Sequim Ave & Washington St in Sequim Washington on 23 July 2013, but the log has not been updated).
(30/07/13: oh dear, I've heard from the owner and it appears that the note by Hot Mess was not referring to this TB at all - so 'Toyota Corolla Bug' is still somewhere out there unlogged. Good luck ... hope it turns up...)
Brought a TB to visit, but no room to drop it off in the container.
Unable to sign log today as no pencil in cache.

Approached from the bottom and climbed up the hill to the cache... (which is still at the bottom). Not just sour sobs but nasturtiums too! Little shonky found a green caterpillar that she decided to keep as a pet... until she accidentally squashed it on the walk out. Thanks For the Cache.
Nice spot, although it's covered with soursobs at the moment! Was about to give up when I realised one of the holes in the cliffs was covered. TNLN, TFTC

Found on an evening run with mogni. Easily located after negotiating a way to the bottom. Thanks Mellisons for the hide!!!
Well done, a great first hide. Not sure if we approached this from the right way, but I generously let CP find this one
Thanks

Thanks mellisons for taking me to a new place. GPS was spot on so very quick find.
Thanks Delving for giving me some directions, I've lost confidence in my GPS so your memory helped me find the cache. A neat hide in a nice park.
Found with first timers David and Robyn, on a beautiful walking day.
Signed the log. TFTC.

Stopped at a control only metres from GZ this morning during an orienteering event. Time was our enemy today so came back post-event to grab the find.
A small cache in a quarry, not novel but always interesting to find these little out-of-the-way places in areas where you think you know just about everything. GZ spot on by my calcs. TFTC Mellisons.

Great hide! The locals thought it very strange that 3 cars would park in a dead end street and wander dow a firetrack, but we enjoyed ourselves! TFTC
We were out walking at night and thought we would attempt this one. We stumbled over the rocks, rubbish and branches to GZ and couldn't locate the cache. A phone call to a friend and we still couldn't find it. Then we looked again and there it was. Fancy that! TFTC

Finally found on my boys weekend with Parraking.
I'd just like to add that the owner of this cache is hot!!!

Short walk almost turned into a REAL SHORT walk, I was looking at GPS instead of where I was going. The only consolation would have been landing right next to the cache! hahaha
Had no probs with coords, as didn't use gps when at GZ, the hidey was 'cache hidden' to experienced cachers on the approach.

Thanks

Whoops, was facing the wrong way last time I looked for this one. Beware broken glass and rocks that look more securely attached to the rock face than they actually are! TFTC.
A voice called out I am down here
So I headed down the track
Could have done with emergency services as GPS died as I reached the bottom of the track
Way too lazy to go back and get another set of batteries decided to use our geo caching brains
Found relatively quick
