Glad it was a weekend when I found this one. Looks like it could get pretty busy and plenty of muggles on a week day. I also think the terrain stars need a bit of a boost. I had trouble standing and extracting the log. Not sure how a person in a wheelchair would be able to see/reach that one. TFTC. 17/9/16, 2:39 pm Find #2787
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Cache for the day required and it was getting late and on the way home had to abandon a couple of nearby searches as it was muggle central. Spied this one and drove up. Parked nearby and despite the odd muggle it was easy to wander around towards GZ using stealth mode. Quickly located the cache and finally extracted it between muggles. But on examination of the container I found that the log looks to have turned into a papier-mâché mess in the bottom of the container. I have a photo of the cache if verification of the find is required but did not want to post it as this would have given away the rather clever hide. Normally I would have cleared it out and, with geocaching supplies in the car, replace the log but time was premium and I just could not do it.
Hope this is OK.

Wouldn't find without clue. Needed something to stand on. Couldn't get paper out.
Found myself in the area with just enough time for a cache!!. Quickly located in a busy spot! Thanks wilbyar for the hide!!!!
An interesting olde building nearby
And while the worker muggles busied themselves with some renovation work,
I snuck into GZ on the bike for a quick cache find

Pretty tiny cache, but good hiding spot. Found it pretty quickly. Watch out of traffic nearby. TFTC
Found during a tour of the northeastern suburbs. Thanks for the cache wilbyar!
They say going interstate for 24 hours, just for a friend's 21st is insane.
I say walking around in an unknown town at 11pm at night looking for a bloody nano is even more insane.
I was at my friend's party which happened to be very nearby, decided that if i was in adelaide for one night, i should probably find a geocache or two, so booted up the application and found a nearby one. Grabbed my muggle travel companion, and set off.
Nice looking area - and thanks for the history behind it too!

Moneydork and I met up to do some more Adelaide caching. We made quick work of this one and were on to the next quite quickly. Thanks Wibyar
Found with vj187 on a beautiful autumn morning. We located it quickly but has trouble retrieving it. TFTC
Found with 2011*turtle. The hint helped us locate the cache quickly, but removing it to sign took much longer. TFTC
Another hide to keep the streak going and fill another spot on the calendar. Tried 'looking' for this first but found that approach not very useful. Eventually landed my fingers on the prize. TFTC
This was a sneaky hide. This took the sensitive fingers of a rat to find. Tftc
Checked on cache today and discovered all OK but original that went missing last year has reappeared. All logs for finds since 19/11/2014 have been for the wrong cache. The old cache has been removed and the new and harder to find cache is still in position. Recommend wire and tweezers.
When writing the log for this cache, we discovered that some muggles are rather uptight and need to loosen up a little. Thanks for the cache!!
Found with Ryanmc05...saw it but out of reach
...retrieved with clever use of physics.. maintaining its integrity but within reach this time

Found at 1500hrs, took a bit of retrieving but got there in the end. We already had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for. Thanks Wilbyar for the cache
Spent some time looking for this one with JJ52. The hint made it obvious where it should have been but nothing there.
Found thanks for the cache out with locked and loaded for a drive to pick some caches up
Literally the coolest and smartest geocache we've seen so far, such a fun find
""Sneaky Squeaky™" Woz ere" A quick but enjoyable find. From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C
From memory Dr Owl found this one.
Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Parked down the road and walked back to find the cache, which seemed appropriate. Looked like a perfectly regular nano, and therefore could be easily lost from its hidey hole. Some would say the sooner the better, but Owl has already completed that particular challenge.
A nice quiet morning to sneak in and grab this cache. I got lucky and found this rather quickly. TFTC
Found whilst on an evenings caching with 3LG and Sneaky Squeaky.

Thought we'd be safe from muggles doing this one at 7pm at night but the carpark was full when we turned up. Must've been a meeting on. Luckily all the muggles stayed inside and we were able to make a quick find and a speedy escape. TFTC
Spy Gecko Is a team made up of spyjordy and Purple Gecko for the scouts geocaching competition. Thank you for placing caches that assist us during this competition. Tftc sl.
Wasn't too sure about the location of this one being near a children's centre but managed to get a park right across from where I had to be. Didn't see any muggles and it was a quick find and sign and off. Found with purple gecko and spyjordy. Tftc sl.
what a beautiful sunny day to be out caching, stopped by after a near by appointment. TFTC SL
found for day 15 of 31, lucky we had an appointment just up the road so thought we would get one while we were here. TFTC SL
Found while out trying to get to 500. Only a few more to go. Great cache good hide thanks
