Did not find but assume we found the spot where it has fallen too deep to be retrieved! Thankyou though, beautiful place
Haha oh dear! We found where it is but one 3ft four year old and one barely 5ft mama didn't reach! I shall return with reinforcements!
Out caching with Coruze, Troobloo, Skullracing, Three Field Mice, The lost Wanderers and BulletProof4 we decided to give this one ago. Skullracing could see the cache with a torch, however we were unable to retrieve it as it has fallen DNF for us!
A group of us decided to go to Adelaide for a drive while in SA for the Oz Mega 2014.
We attempted this cache but using a human tool and phone torch but we ended up having an epic fail The cache was spotted but we couldn't reach it to get it out from it's hidey hole.
Thanks any way 'goldfinger99'

Cache container was spotted after giving another cacher a leg up. Unfortunately it was at the base of the tree on the inside. The only way to retrieve would be with an axe or chainsaw and I am rather sure that ACC would not be happy!
We happened to be in the area and decided to swing by this cache whilst in town for the OZ Mega. We had a prior finder with us as well as the means for "assisted" extraction (not through use of caching tools but sheer muscle power ). Our first try unearthed nothing but our second attempt with a torch confirmed our suspicions, unfortunately the cache has fallen within the deep dark depths of the cache host. Couldn't sign the log despite seeing the cache so we have to mark this as a fail. Thanks anyway goldfinger99
Had trouble finding a long enough stick to assist in grabbing the container, beaut hide, TFTC
Scouted this one yesterday but it was too high so came back with geohusband and geoladder. Easy find with these implements. Took travel bug. TFTC

out for a few quick grabs with Pomoore83. Used nearby foliage to retrieve the container but a little more difficult to get it back up apart from throwing! Did that and the cache disappeared deep into the chasm! Pomoore's climbing skills and long reach came to the fore and we had the container back up again for future finders. Phew!!
Tftc Goldfinger99 First ones for the year! found with AtomicRabbit and the Binky bill bros
TFTC goldfinger99 . Have been wanting to find this for a while. Nice hint. Found with Super Dino. Happy new year everyone.
Again a cache where the "T" rating is not really matching the GZ We would expect normally at least a T4.5 because it is really hardly to do without help or a ladder ... but we had fun doing it in team work.

had to think about how to get this one without hurting myself!! tricky! great spot!
Founds on a beautiful, lazy Sunday afternoon on our way to the very awesome 'Fork on the Road' nearby. So glad that Mr Bazinga was with us and was able to lift Master Bazinga to reach this one. TNLN TFTC
I'm 6'4" and this was certainly a challenge. Got there using some rock climbing skills.

Had been saving this one until we had Green Tree Llama with us to take advantage of her tree-climbing skills. With a bit of a boost the cache was in hand. TFTC
When this cache was first placed, I worked a short stroll down the road (or path as it were). Two visits for two dnf's due to muggling left me a little disheartened. After the cache came online for a third time I wandered in about a year ago late at night with dogs in tow, only to find that I didn't have the necessary height or a ladder.
So well over a year later, I met up with locus cache and her amazing telescoping ladder for a walk into the parklands after dark and finally a smilie on my map. TFTC goldfinger99!

Fun cache with lots of good swaps. Took TB, enjoyed the challenge of the climb. Tftc.
Out with 3LG for a Monday night cache run on my 50th birthday.
A cold but dry night during which we ended up with 14 locus cache smileys
So I didn't find 50 caches today but we did have lots of fun!
RideTheGeoWalrus had only mentioned this cache to me recently and tonight we wandered right past it!
Out with the human pyramid again! I wish 3LG would get a magic caching tool
Seems fists work poetry when up someone's a..., well Mrs 3LG's hands and mine gave Mr 3LG some lift and the cache was retrieved!

Cachenapped locus cache to do some birthday caching... It's her 50th We started the evening with a meal at KFC, left there in a mad dash to get to a first to find before venturing across town... And here we are!
The GeoMonkey clambered up, with the assistance of an upward thrust from geowife & locus cache, bit of a struggle but got there in the end, SL, TSLS, thank you

Did not want to log 'found' ... as we were unable to sign the log.
Did not want to log 'Did not find', as we did find it we couldn't reach it.
But we did have lots of laughs attempting to get the cache. The laughing did not help us at all.
We will be back with the taller member of group ... hopefully then we will be able to post 'Found'
Thanks for the laughs goldfinger99

Quick stop and find, though the gardener must have wondered what I was doing out in the rain.
Tree climbing + Caching = Good combination
We spotted the cache 20m away, and got it quickly, due to our height, and some clambering ability. Putting it back up involved a very good throw, followed by some prodding into place with a long stick we found nearby. TFTC

Now I know why I need to visit the chiro so often. It's all because of caching.

Easy find, lots of long sticks nearby for some reason. Thanks. Left trackable turtle
Found on a pleasant ride through the parklands. Was able to retrieve through an inventive use of my bicycle. Thanks goldfinger99!
Today we decided to focus on the parklands to the south and south-east of the city. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find but extraction was another matter. An improvised tool was required to retrieve the cache. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC goldfinger99.
Mogni was in town for Pedal Prix. We couldn't help ourselves. Just had to get up early and get some before and then close to the track during the Pedal Prix! . Slipped away from the tack to get this one. Im's not 7 foot tall but will a stick in my had I can reach that far. Mogni promised to catch it. but alas she has the skills of the Australian Cricket Team and the cache hit the dirt. No damage. Thanks goldfinger99.
We tried to find this one 12 months or more ago, with no luck...! Today, with the help of the clue it was visible from 20 metres away...!!!
Its not any more, its laying much more horizontally in its 'nest'..!
A well stocked and well maintained Cache.
Thanks gf99.... very enjoyable find and location.

Struggled to grab the cache from up in its hiding place, but got it in the end. Signed the log, then struggled to return the cache again... sorry if it's still a little visible. TFTC.
This makes it #40, TFTC goldfinger99! PS - easy find, need to be tall to sign!
Nice hide manged to get it out of its hiding hole with a stick. An interesting event close by, some national championships on who could cast their fishing line the furthest

had to get it down with a stick because of my shortness found it while some south australian ameture fishing asociation had a casting competition. nice hide well hidden.

Found while in the area for an appointment. Managed to grab it despite not being 7' tall! TFTC.
Found for a second time. We were walking past trying to find the final for a multi we have obviously miscalculated, when Medusa (Olga) spotted it. I suppose because it had moved since I found the original I didn't realise I had already found it. We dutifully signed the log book, only to realise once home it had already been logged.
Anyway, the cache was quite visible when we found it, but have replaced it so it is not visible to the casual observer.

Found with Foxbane after Wing Chun. Some acrobatics later we had the cache in hand. Thanks!
Approached this one and started hearing funny noises, put the bike against the tree and heard the sound of a very angry possum (im guessing) hissing and growling at me. Boy it was enough for me to think twice about going for it. Was able to grab it without loosing any fingers and then placed it back very quickly. TFTC
I had my climbing frame with me which made for an easy retrieval.
Thanks for the cache goldfinger99.

short but challenging (And Fun) Climb to the cache hoping my footing doesn't give way which would result in a grazed knee. Got the cache down and back up quite easily. Sometimes it's useful being a good rock climber! Great cache but it was showing a bit so I covered it up with some bark. TFTC and a fun climb in the parklands!
I don't quite have the physical attributes to enable me to get the cache but i used some local equipment to get the job done. Thanks for the exercise.
This is a wonderful area of the parklands to walk around in [^][^].
Took teamwork to retrieve this .
Muggles have defaced some pages of the log book, so we tried our best to obscure the crude stuff .
Took balloon. Left big dice. SL.

It was a difficult retrieve and an ever harder return. Made extra difficult by some very confused muggles.
White girls can jump and give boosts. We got it and replaced it with some difficulty but a lot of fun. TFTC
Fortunately we spotted the cache from the bridge and not a muggle. Have tried to replace so that it is no longer visible! Nice spot despite nearby tents!
Huge thank you to Dragon chasers.
Thanks for fixing it up - There are still nice people out there.

Saw the cache as we walked up to it, was able to use the improbability geo tool to retrieve the cache, left a little less exposed TFTC
I have put the refreshed cache back where I think it had been. I hope I read the clue correctly.
Saw what i think was the remains of the cache on the ground, just a pencil in lunch box. (I now see from previous log that it was)
Found this one but it was scattered over a large area. Muggled!!!
We have taken the remains and will replace the box and return it this week.

One of the (nine) kids, armed with a long stick, found this one. Found with MrsSki. TFTF
5'8'' (guessing) and 5'6" (guessing again) boys piled on top of one another meant that we made the height requirement to reach this one.
Log and base of box intact...missing the lid (will report separately)
TFTC SL/ TN left luckystars.
Needed the assistance of the R-P family today. (my 5'3" won't cut it!)
