CO has not been active since 2013 hence I dont think the CO is getting any emails anymore
Pretty sure I was checking the right structure if as described in description but despite a three train search no cache was found.
Thanks for the hunt Cpt Brown Beard

Out with Locus Cache, Snap Happy & SA Sewer Rats.
We were nearing the end of our caching adventures.
But knew we had to stop here.
Tricky part was waiting for the muggles to move far enough away

Out for a day of caching with Snap Happy, Locus and Clare007.
We had a fun filled day/evening filled with adventure and laughs galore.
Found by A Sewer Rat, while waiting for muggles to leave.
Needed the height of Clare007 and Snap Happy to reach and retrieve the cache. TFTC

Out for the day with Snap Happy, Clare007 and SA Sewer Rats and by day's end I had 16 smilies and 1 DNF plus I learned that the difference between a Greek Yiros and a Turkish Kebab is the spices that are used on the meat, rather than a Victorian vs South Australia language debate.
A quick find but not so quick retrieval as even at 9.30pm, we had to wait out and dodge muggles
Bingo, anyone[?]

Third time lucky! This cache is easy when there is no one at the station, difficult because there always seems to be someone waiting for a train. Despite some wandering muggles, today Owl was able to make a quick catch and release.
Stopped and looked for this a couple of times with no luck but finally have my hands on it.......tftc
A local find with The Birchies during a break in the wet weather on Easter Monday. Quick find by Mr B in between trams coming and going. TFTC
Quick find with Adam & Sarah on a sunny Easter Friday. Lots of muggles around, but all busy in their own world. tftc
Found with3LG and the x-trailers on a hot summer night TFTC. Another train stopped Sr station so we had to wait to retrieve.
Getting clues to multi along roadside so picking up a few caches along the way
Located in obvious spot
Took tbs for a visit

Being such a nice night there is only one thing to do...go caching : ) picked up earthlight and The X-Trailers and headed down to this part of town, terrain should be higher on this one as i had to get up of the ground to get this one, hit my head on a sharp piece of metal which bled for a while, things we do for a cache, not sure if this one is suppose to be lower but was good fun retrieving it from up there lol. TFTC
Cycled down here to check out the bikeway and a few unfound caches in the area, there were a lot of other bikes on the bikeway this afternoon so I sat and read the logs and the description for a bit until they all passed. This made it evident that I was planning to start searching in the wrong spot, I made my way up onto the platform and found the cache pretty quickly after that! TFTC!
With some time to kill on the weekend, we decided to hit the bike paths near Glenelg and grab a few caches. Luckily 2 trams, one each way, arrived a few minutes before we reached GZ and so it was a simple matter to wait for a single muggle passenger to clear the platform before swooping in for the cache. TFTC Cpt Brown Beard!
I left me bike parked by the bike way and legged it onto the platform
Very quiet here today, thankfully !!
The cache could be a bit tricky to retrieve with a crowd of bored onlookers
I managed to overcome a lack of vertical stature with a quick vault into an elevated sitting position, and being careful not to fall backwards into the plants, managed to grab the cache
That was a bit of fun between trams [^]

Ismartis enjoyed checking out lots of legs this morning , but couldn't find the right one or at least could't find a cache. Given she had to get to work she aborted this search and headed around the corner to try another. But she will be back another day.
What do you do on a sunny afternoon?
Cache that's what, didn't have to much trouble finding this

Beware the spiders - could not log for fear of getting bitten! Watch your fingers...
Kidding ourselves that a FTF might still be available nearby, we headed across town after finally getting into the new Donut establishment... The birthday kid had another go at the ripstick with Mum running alongside which must have looked hilarious..... She found this one, and added to the smile already on her face! Thanks for the cache and the fun morning pinkjellyfishy....
Took so long to find. The compass helped a lot. That was very difficult and you need to be able to stretch. Best geocache yet.
Seriously looked on every leg I could see,
until..... doh!
With Mrs Frog, who can count!!!

"I will never find this one! It's a hopeless cause. Damn you captain brown beard for pushing me to my limits and then beyond! Oh wait, there it is."
In all seriousness, great hide. Caught the tram here everyday and never knew it was there.

Nice placement - Tram muggles were about so you have to be quick to find this one
Was in the area after work and decided to stop here as there was no-one around when I pulled up. Took note of the hint and headed to where my GPSr was pointing me. I really had to stand on tippy toes and think I may have pulled a back muscle as I stretched for the cache. Managed to retrieve it and signed the log then on tippy toes again cache was replaced.
Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here Cpt Brown Beard.

Just happened to be driving past this arvo and spotted these great sculptures.... My inner cacher went "wow, now this is somewhere i'd hide a cache", so out came the iphone, logged onto the app and waited for nearby caches to load.... BINGO! Tried to locate the cache with phone, but so luck so popped the co-ords into the gps and soon had the treasure in hand!
Great to see how amazing the tram stops are looking now days!
TFTC!!

I got to GZ and was groaning under my breath -- muggles. But wait, they are on the other side... and the tram is coming Waited it out and had the place to myself. As I was reaching for the cache other caches began to approach so I had to time my grab just right so that the muggles could not see what I was doing due to obstructed views. I signed the log with no dramas (though the book is too long for the container and has to be folded (?). Anyway, timing to return the cache to its hiding spot was similar to retrieving it -- but this time with approaching muggles in two different directions (!). Managed to put it back and no eyes were on me.
Your cache marks my 30th day in a row of caching. I've been caching for 9 years and this is my best cache-a-day streak (yes, pathetic, isn't it?). The prior record was 19 days, so now my streak is a little less pathetic. Thanks Cpt Brown Beard

Seriously dunno why it took me 3 goes to find it, but i finally worked out the hint and it was easy to grab TFTC

Once again I found myself in this part of town late at night while visiting family, so to ensure the recently started finding streak continues I stopped by and grabbed this cache. Have been after this one for a while, but normally when I'm near here it's for a Morphettville race meeting meaning muggles galore! TFTC Cpt Brown Beard!
Out with Aussie M & M on a mission. Find a specific number of caches for a specific reason and don't come home until the mission is complete. So away we went with a list of caches.
The GPS took us to the sculptured legs, then away, then back so put it away and started looking near metal things. Soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for yet another one Cpt Brown Beard.

My GPS took me to some legs.... who would have thought.... Then after a while Brian wandered around nearby and found the cache. It was a sign to me that my GPS needs recalibrating. TFTC, cool spot.
Had a quick stop here and made the find easily. No trains or muggles. Thanks for the cache!

Our very first find, not where we expected it but found it pretty quickly. Log book is very full but managed to squeeze our name in there.
