Here I stand (swimmers full of sand) Glenelg South, South Australia, Australia
By chillibutts on 17-Jun-11. Waypoint GC2XWV0

Cache is full of debris and pretty gross all round. Still in situ, but I will be back soon to remove from the site. Thanks to all who enjoyed this one! I enjoyed making it and reading all the logs.
Cheers

will do some maintenance

It took us two visits to find this cache. The first time there were too many muggles around, so we decided to make another try later. Today it was better, but we still had no clue where this cache was. The hint didn´t help us rellay. But then thinking about the cache size, we were finally succesfull. As said in the logs before, the cache isn't in good shape. Logbook is completly wet.

Anyway thank for this nice challenge, which we liked a lot.

Greetings from Freiburg, Germany

Cache was half full (half empty??) with water, everything in the cache is wet, non-metallic stuff is starting to break down.

Time for a visit from the CO.

I think this is the date of my visit, ah so long ago. My cloak of invisibility (safety vest) worked well in this environment. The cache is wet, the log book almost mush, time for a visit from the CO.

I didn't see a trackable in this cache.  Since it's been some time since the trackable was placed here I'd say that it has unfortunately gone missing. As the owner of this cache you can mark the trackable as missing.  This action will remove it from the cache inventory and place it in the great cache in the sky.

Thanks for the cache chillibutts.

Found it late at night - very wet and sticky!

Sad to say... but the container is full of water and all the swaps are damaged (the cards and papers) the zippy bag for the log book wasn't close property and the log book is completely damage because of the water..
We couldn't fix it... sorry

We knew today will be a free muggles area; the weather is just terrible so before the rain started we manage to retrieve the cache "Geo - boyfriend" of course did it ^^
Nice structure ^^ little boy ready for adventures TFTC

Some fresh council work.
Still there?

wet log didnt like my stamp

We had visited this area quite a while ago and discussed the GZ but decided that there were definitely too many people to attempt to find it. A quick look tonight gave us a smiley, but unfortunately the container is very damp.

We really wanted to find this one!
There are new 'works' going on here. Has not been disturbed or buried has it? Bark and paving.

Out with Mrs Froghoppin and a newbie cacher.
Seemed like a good one to test his skills
Found after a while, but sadly the contents have become very wet,
maybe a leak?

Out and about with the Squeaks doing a few caches around the area and sneaky just stood there and giggled at our attempt to find this cache, what a huge cache so close to everything around here, it took a short while to find the cache but when i did it was a epic find, Favour point awarded. TFTC

Wow....had a warning about this, which acted as a bit more of a clue..... Surely not.... YEP!!! Helped the non geo teenager of the family celebrate his birthday at Marion, then headed down chasing a sunset. We were just up the road, and Mum remembered this special cache and her new geo plan to find all the most favourited caches. Getting to it wasnt too bad, but replacement was a bit trickier as every man and their dog decided to go for a dusk stroll. Enjoyed the views for quite a while before getting the all clear to replace cache. What a special log book too! Took the bicycle bell TB to continue its journey. Thanks for the amazing cache, a favourite point from us too......

went for a ride and dropped off bicycle bell trackable!

#107 found with frankiewan1117 in our Oz Mega Trip 2014. Don't think we can get this without previous founder's hint. Thanks for setting this up. Greetings from Hong Kong!

Don't expect it is a windy day! Although Glenelg is a very nice place, but it is too cold for us. After 20 mins search, we still couldn't find the cache. Luckily, local geocachers are all helpful! Finally find this large cache after getting hints from previous finder.

TFTC! Greetings from Hong Kong!

We didn't come up with a definite possibility the first time we were at GZ so we went to find some other caches and give this some thought. Returned with no help at all from the thought but eventually decided where the cache would be after totally dismissing this hide earlier. Amazing! What a brilliant hide! Well done chillibutts, another favourite to add to the many. Left GC.

On the road again, using caching to guide us to the sites, as we explore the state on our way to the Murray bridge mega. Currently in Adelaide staying down the road in Brighton, our milestone 2000 loomed so we looked for something memorable and lo and behold there's one just a short jog away. We did some recon during the day and planned our attack, just after sun set we hit GZ and the deed was done. We could give this cache so many favourites, one because it was our 2000, another because it's not a bloody nano, another because of the top location especially at sunset and another for the ingenious caching brain that came up with the idea and yet another for how it was set up. Well done take a bow Chillibutts

GrimRaider and I made our way out Glenelg today as we had heard it is a beautiful spot and, hey there was a cache here with lots of FP. We have just started our SA road trip with the aim to end up in Murray Bridge at the end of next week for the OzMega - so lots of exploring and caches to do. We wandered around GZ for a short while before investigations revealed the cache location. Nice big cache and such a great hide! Gets a FP from me. We then went on to have a lovely meal at the nearby café. Thanks for the cache - nice one

Oh my goodness we biked out to this cache as we met another cacher at Hahndoft and he raved about it. Well, it did have me going for a while until I got my muggle friend to help me - I'm only hobbit size an strength. What a big cache. We had lunch at the nearby cafe to celebrate the find.

WOW, eyeballed this morning while visiting the beach from our holiday rental but the nearby cafe was in full swing and there was no way I could get near it at that stage. As it happened we were walking back from a pub Glenelg this evening and no muggles were around, I quickly confirmed it was the cache and signed the log. Took nothing and left nothing but a favorite point for this one - ballsiest cache I've seen thus far and one that's given me a great idea for one in Melbourne (although not the same)...

Found on the second attempt - this one with Pyroeis, who really was the one to make the find. TFTC

Quick find with Henwoman. TB IN. TFTC.

Got it with little searching, but had to come back late at night to sign the book due to massive swarms of muggles.... we were surprised that this cache is so large considering its location...cool!

This one had me searching and searching last year with my muggle friend. Could not leave now without another visit to find this one. I was give a bit of a clue from a fellow cacher in QLD and then had a local come with me. Oh I did have my caching blindness with me last year. What an impressive hide. TFTC

Beat me today!

Fun, clever, deceptive yet obvious!! Serious mugglers to contend with!! Enjoyed the 'stealthiness' of the find. Have been itching to get to this cache all week and finally hubby relented on dusk. Beautiful views and glad for the cool change after a week of over 40 degrees!! Btw, a bit of extra excitement as this was out first TB find!! TFTC!! Left ANZAC poppy.

Found this one after a few days of reconnaissance and pondering. In Adelaide for the beach volley ball tournament and staying nearby. By day or night this place is very busy! Eventually found it at 2210hrs while there were still lots of muggles nearby - left our trademark ladybug. TNSL Thanks chillibutts for the exercise and challenge.

So I actually got to make a find at 10:35PM . I spent most of the day setting up labs at the new south Australian health and medical research institute. After dinner with my colleague I had to come back here to test some theories. Turns out one was right . See you lot at the Mega in Easter. Cheers!

Found after a bit of a walk. Not too busy.

Bummer! With all the fave points I was really hoping to find this one. Lots of muggles around at 5:30 including some who wouldn't leave their balcony. How inconsiderate, staring at that magnificent view while I'm trying to geocache below... One particular object interested me but I couldn't get a cache to come out of it... Back home to Brissy tomorrow, oh well, I'll just have to stay in glenelg again. What a shame!

First of the day. Probably should have started earlier as there were loads of muggles about, making this a difficult grab. Luckily we had enough people to create a diversion and grab this cache. Replacing it was even more difficult with a muggle child sitting right by GZ. He had an electric scooter and was about the same age as Raspberry Moo. Unfortunately RM REFUSED to engage him in conversation. So I did allowing Fore! to replace the cache unseen. Awesome spot. TFTC.

As per many of the previous finders, I really enjoyed this cache. One would think that the middle-ish of the day on a Monday would prove not to be muggle central, but we still had a few to contend with. Being in a party of 5 we could literally build a wall of deception, and with that done, the cache was very soon had. I left a pathtag for the next finder after walking around the corner with the cache in hand for us all to do the logging honors. At return, we tried to get our 10yo to chat to a local scooter kid who had camped at GZ, but she was reluctant.. Therefore a stealth mission was put into place once the coast was clear. TFTC.

Very pleasant walk along the beachfront with the geokids to get this one, surprised to meet some other fellow geocachers looking in the GZ! Lovely to meet you today! Found quickly by Mr Shadowhill - what a huge cache container and a clever hide!!! Discovered a TB but left it for the other geocachers we met as it was their first cache find. Wonderful place to visit on our holiday from Brisbane - TFTC Chillibutts! Well deserving of all the accolades and another favourite point from us!

Your kidding right! Awesome. Great hide, inspiring. Nice spot to be around for the Sunset. Came by earlier in the day and found the hide, but far too many muggles to actually get the cache. SL. Dropped a TB. TFTC.

A bit of a shock really. Dodgy weather helped keep the muggle count down. Love it! TFTC

Best cache I've found in a long time, out and about for fish and chips on Friday night with my bestie, so glad he stopped by to let me look for this one SL Thanks from postiegirl06

Was quite keen to get to this one while on a short trip to Adelaide with ThePacGirl, but our search was hampered due to the many muggles around at the time. TFTH.

Had to look at the cache twice. Trust your cords. Definite fave for us and worth fighting flies for the 1.4 mile roundtrip beach stroll this afternoon.

2503. Found with Relish64.
Originally we drove passed this one but after seeing all the favourites, we decided to check it out for ourselves. It took a while and we weren't disappointed, and now it get one from me too. TFTC

Nice find by geokids. Found with g5ive. Really nice hide

We found it! Love these size caches. Fun find for the kids. Loved it

Found it after my second try. High muggle area today as its so sunny. Enjoyed lunch at the cafe nearby. Fantastic cache mighty tough find. Need a couple of people for this one

Retrieved this one on a cold windy late afternoon drive peddle past. Tricky extraction between joggers. Great piece of deception for such a big cache in a busy location. TFTC.

Miss GG and I decided to pop out and do some night photography and thought it would be a great opportunity and muggle free time to come and do this cache.

Arriving at GZ we could see muscles where going to be needed... So everything out of the packets, roll up the sleeve and heave ho! I lifted while Miss GG made the grab... as soon as the cache was open muggles appeared from everywhere. As soon as they came they left and we were able to make the sign and return of the cache

Favorite point for the large cache in such a high muggle environment

Thanks for the cache Chillibutts

After darknstormy met his photograpy idol at the royal show today, he had the bug for some night time shots so we headed out for a night of photos and grabbed this must do cache on the way
Gz was quiet when we turned up which helped us make the find, but putting it back was harder as everybody seemed to rock at the wrong time and we had to place it back in its place without being seen

Thanks chillibutts and have another favourite point

Great location chillibutts with a seal frolicking nearby ! geohampster travel bug taken to travel deep south - TFTC

Found while out caching with Jeffeddy, Sars12 and Team Pedal Pushers. TFTC.

Found while out with Jeffrey11, Team Pedal Pushers and Sars 12. TFTC.

After a few quiet drinks at the mess, I found myself driving south to join locus and laighside for a Friday night caching run that spilled well over into Saturday. A total of 26 caches for me before I packed it in for the night.

The last one for the night for me, and what a cache it was. You never cease to amaze me Mr chilli, and once again you have set the bar very, very high. Yet another favourite from me, TFTC chillibutts!

Out with Sars12, Jeffeddy and Jeffrey11. Great day for caching. TFTC. Fantastic cache!!

Having to be at Netley for training for work for 2 days was a bonus for me as it meant I could stay in an area where I had lots of unfound caches and just cache, cache and cache!
Tonight I left Netley and headed to meet Laighside Legends at Glenelg and we were later joined by RideTheGeoWalrus.
We finally went our seperate ways about 2am and then I eventually arrived home about 5.30am, after 'just one more cache' turned into locus caching 36 smileys including a FTF at 3.46am

Loved this cache! [^]
chillibutts, how do you think of these brazen and obvious, yet devious , hides[?]
RideTheGeoWalrus, being the man he is, did the honours for me and retrieved the cache so that we could log it!
I am still, many hours later, shaking my head in disbelief
After this cache, the guys and I split up to head to our respective homes.... I just took a bit longer than expected to get there

TNLN. SL. TFTC chillibutts

Found this a couple of weeks ago but couldn't retrieve it because of all the muggles. Different story today with few muggles and a quick pick up. Dropped of 2 TBs from NZ. TFTC!!!

One word: Audacious!
There was a cold northerly blowing and the people were scurrying past and not looking at this old bloke poking around.
Well he poked and poked, gave it a kick and said "Nah", then back to the warmth of the car to check the notes again.
There was one recurring theme in the previous logs and I made the elusive Find and Sign the second time around.
I know it it by the seaside but there was more than one red herring in the vicinity.
Another fav point from me.

Another great Gerry McMahon Sculpture of the cute Snorkelling Boy. We first visited this site 24/7/11 with our 2 God-Daughters but aborted the search that day as it was blowing a gale. Today not so blowy and blustery but damn it was cold. Lots of people at the beach watching the waves crashing to shore but they were all tucked up in their cars so we virtually had the place to ourselves. A quick look and Mrs Sandalwood Cottage said "You don't reckon it's there do you" and I replied "Nah, doubt it" to which she replied "Well give it a try anyway". So I did and she who is always right was spot on. Took the TB to continue it's travels. A great cache so gave it a fav point which is hard to come by from us. Thanks for the Hunt and bringing people here to see the Sculpture. Well that only leave 29 more for our 31 day challenge. Now off to Glenelg for a well earned Dinner and to thaw out.

Nice one- mega stealth required
Left TB

Wow, a great

Great hide! Thanks for the cache. Well deserving of a favourite point

Brilliant!!! Out with geopooch, geosisters, and geomum. Took us a few attempts but in the end the cache was in hand. TFTC

Heavy tftc

It's been bugging me for over a week so got in the car n drove two hours! Exactly where I thought but too heavy for one person TFTC

After many crazy attempts we tried this one only to succeed! What fun!
Incredible!!!

Found it but can't get it. Too many muggles and pretty heavy so hard to do stealthily. Maybe on another trip to Adelaide. Tho I really need to drop my trackable off. Hard to do as all Adelaide ones are micro

Brilliant ! Loved the container tftc

Omg! No way! Best night cache ever!

Just passing by with littlevicky and timotatus.
Had a great time watching them try to find the cache
thanks again

Great cache !

Approached this in the dark on a rotten evening so no muggle troubles. Initially distracted myself by something I thought could have been the cache but after investigation clearly wasn't.

This didn't leave too much more at GZ to inspect. Surely it couldn't be? Applied some energy and shaking all the sand out of my swimmers I uncovered the cache

Thanks!

First one of an afternoon of 14 geocaches. Spent ages here and there were muggles everywhere but after dismissing the hiding spot as impossible, returned to the hide before leaving and found it! If only I didn't dismiss it as not being the cache before! Interesting spot, quite windy here.

Have been wanting to do this one for a while. Was out Good Friday with muggle friend and sussed GZ. Too many muggles and needed a "tool" so came back at dusk and found cache which is now a favourite. TFTC.

Mid morning on a Sunday is definitely not the time to do this cache! Mugglesville! Had to use every trick in the book to look inconspicuous with this one. A five minute stretching routine with the Taytaynator, inching ever closer to the cache won out in the end. Excellent size, another quality chilli creation. TFTC!

Here I stood, at about 1am in the morning, wondering why there were still people walking along this way... Once again the last place I looked was also the first place I looked but looked a bit harder this time! Thanks for the warning not to use spanners and tools, or I might have disassembled everything in sight!!!
Took Alia's walkabout TB and Left one that's travelling from Germany to England the long way...
tftc

Found fairly quickly in between dodging muggles coming from all directions, lucky we had 4 children that didn't make us look so conspicuous. Mum noticed something and said "That's gotta be it." Loved the size of the cache and the kids enjoyed looking at the contents. Had to then wait with cache container on knee as a little girl had spotted it and must have thought it was some kind of treasure box or a party or something and she just wouldn't go away!!! Thankfully, her Mum came out of nowhere and dragged the unwilling child away. It was then put back quickly and we were on our way.
Beautiful area and the kids LOVED the nearby "Talking toilets"
Thanks chillibutts.

Finally found this one after a few visits. Great hide! favorite point from me.

Thanks for the cache chillibutts

Dont want to say too much for fear of spoilers. A quick find for us today with clues making sense for a change. A police car drove by just as we were going for the cache but they didnt seem too bothered. Left Alia's Walkabout TB and a Headset Travel Express TB. Grabbed a lion TB and exchanged a few swaps. TFTC Chillibutts! Another fav from us.

Wow! Took a bit of effort indeed! What a brilliant hide. The waitress was about to ring the police I'm sure, after I loitered for about 20 minutes before going in for the find. One customer and two cyclists likely saw me, so hopefully they just think I'm a kook took shark trackable, left Goleo trackable. TFTC!

found quickly at 1535 after having coffee nearby & with the help of some hints & a bit of brute force to extract & return it. Not too many muggles around this time. TNLNSL TFTC

Really clever! Had to come back a few times and should have gone with my first instinct. Have a great trip around the world 'sharky'. TFTC

This took us 2 visits, on the first there were too many muggles and on the second it was dark and the cache was soon in hands - it was larger than we first thought, with a log book one of the largest we'd seen. Left a mini eraser thong. A favourite of ours for location and creativity. Thanks chillibutts TFTC

Spent 45 minutes going over & over this one without luck. But ignoring what now seems to be a glaringly obvious hide. Pretty sure we now know where this one is & will be back shortly to claim this one.

Ahhhh easy peasy, even the little Elf spotted it before we were right there.
Safe though, we are sure!

On hour 4 week holiday from Canada in Australia. Visiting NSW, Victoria, Tassie, and South Australia. Discovering your country by car, bus, boat, coach, airplane and by foot. We enjoyed it so much we are already planning our next adventure. While traveling I was able to log a cache here and there and this is one I found. TFTC!

Searched for this early in the morning with a few fitness muggles around. Checked everything without tearing anything up at GZ. Took a little rest and observed another cacher on bike searching without luck for the cache. After he left I was able to locate the cache and carefully retrieve it without being spoted. A very delicate task. Deserves a favourite for the effort and the energy going into the design of this cache. Clever and well done!!

While I was examining in some depth what I was convinced was the cache if I could only work out how to open it, a muggle friend came up with the goods! Great cache! You would just never think it was there! Luckily we'd had our Weetbix for breakfast!! Thanks chillibutts, and have a favourite!!

Spied the cache (I'm pretty sure) but not game to retrieve it as there were sooo many people around!

Searched for a while at dusk without luck. Then after reading log after log it finally clicked! Raced back to make a quick find before it got too dark. Very clever and the clue now makes sense. Excellent cache!

The Trio was in the area this afternoon and just had to drop by to do this one. Fortunately for us with the cooler weather and light rain there weren't many muggles about.

Toddler Tardis was most impressed with the sculpture and asked lots of questions about it. Then we ventured off not too far to find a nice big cache. Toddler Tardis was quite amazed with how it was hidden. Mr Tardis was impressed that you made this then plonked it here without attracting any undue attention

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache chillibutts.

Tried this one but way too many muggles. Interesting little sculpture.

Visiting from Canada for the Lifesaving World Championships. No luck finding this one.

Found It!
Where do I even start here... Where I earth did you get that??? How did you get it there??? It would make for an interesting movable cache!
Shame these great caches are PM only as I don't thing anyone is going to steal it...
TFTC

I visit Adelaide during my Australiatrip (Worldchampionship in Lifesaving 2012). I vist some Caches, this is one of them....TFTC

When I started planning my trip to Adelaide this was the one cache that made it to the top of my list. Couldn’t get the name or the cute little picture out of my head and was adamant I was not leaving SA without logging a find. After wisely dismissing a search on a sunny Sunday afternoon that would be crawling with muggles, today turned out to be overcast, incredibly windy and relatively muggle free other than the chain-smoking waitresses at the nearby café who have probably seen a few strange searches anyway. Once the suspect hide was revealed using on-site tools, was still amazed with the result. Even the log book was proportionately size appropriate! Would hate to try this one on a fine day and while I suffered a few scratches in the process, was so glad I could add this one to my tally before I flew home.

Remember being here before but way to many muggles, once the GPS settled down where would we find a cache that size, suddenly inspiration and some weight lifting soon revealed a great sized cache. Well done chillibutts TFTC

A god Place for a Cache.

geohelmut

A very sneaky hide in a busy area! tFTC!

When we first arrived at GZ we were sure we knew what it was. We tried (unsuccessfully) to crack it and had to give up because of muggles. Especially the waiter at the cafe next door who we were sure was smirking at us. We decided to go for a beach walk and came back later when it was quieter. We had a better think about it and spotted something slightly out of place. Nicely done, thanks!

Very clever chillibutts!!! Geo Henry revealed the cache really quickly... we were astounded at how big it was!!!! Loved it.... Thanks
