Found it, well geoson did (coordinates were pretty good). picked up TB. Container was full of water. We dried out the container and the log in the car. We have put it back in a slightly drier spot, in exactly the same coordinates.

Sad not there?
 
18-Apr-20
Have spent a lot of time searching for this one. Can someone confirm it’s still here?
 
03-Apr-20
Had a thorough search under bridge but not found.
 
16-Feb-20
After a wile I found it and thank goodness there was no snakes
Tftc
And the cache fit perfectly when I put it backvery satisfying
 
28-Dec-19
OMG This one has stumped me a few times. I had a thorough grid pattern search today and got a result.

When I replaced the cache it fit so perfectly. I think this one needs both the degree of difficulty and the terrain ratings increased to possibly 2.5/2.5 possibly higher.

Glad to cross this one off the hit list.

No snakes were observed here today...

Too wet, too cold - Adelaide in August is unpredictable

Looked for about 10 minutes but couldn't find.
 
25-Jul-19
Couldn't find it after five minutes on our way to do a couple caches. Might come back for another go when we are in less of a rush.
 
19-Jun-19
Took way longer than it should using the phone GPS, once I looked at a map it was in hand quickly. Log is wet, only managed to make a mark, TB still in cache as I am only doing this occasionally now. TFTC
 
19-May-19
Out and about with Team Barritts visiting Adelaide. Tftc.
 
19-May-19
We were full of optimism about this cache, and how easy the find would be. Hmmm, karma stepped in. Anyway we searched for a good 15 mins and decided, okay step away, back to geobasics and start again. Now with fresh eyes the cache was soon in hand, log signed and returned to its hiding spot!

We retrieved the trackable and will move it on for more adventures, TFTC Woolly!

Out for an afternoon of finding with [@fluffymaxi](http://coord.info/PRRFVJ6) , @smersh, [@Trimthecat](http://coord.info/PRRE5KW) and [@JayG10](http://coord.info/PRRFB83). With a couple of multi’s on the target list, we decided to get a couple of others in the same areas where we were and finished with 8 finds, including a 5/5 and a 4/1 D/T to fill some spots on the grid.
This was the first, which was made while undertaking surveillance for an approach for another. We passed on the approach from this location and took an easier route, but found this while in the area. [@Trimthecat](http://coord.info/PRRE5KW) made an easy find utilising his feline dexterity to pounce on the cache.

Quick find tftc
 
14-Dec-18
Found it
 
29-Nov-18
Was passing through the area, and thought this may be a nice one to find today. A lot of the previous log had mentioned an easy find, but for whatever reason, I had to spend more time than I needed to in locating it. I'm not sure why I missed an obvious geocache hide initially, but perhaps I had some alternative bias in my mind to what I was looking for. It's actually a great spot here with the river and watching the plans take off/land, so wouldn't mind riding this bike path on a nice day. Thanks for this cache placement!

After a training course nearby I made a quick stop to grab this one after checking for caches in the area, noted in the logs that a TB was dropped in. This one has been marked as missing back in 2016 so it was great to see it added back in to continue its journey. Hopefully can sort out the back end details with the owner to have this added to my inventory. Is going to join Sierra and TIGROU on their journey for a while. Was on the wrong side initially but soon made the find. Thankfully no brown snakes in this weather. TFTC!

".::Be careful for Brown Snakes::..
Finders of this particular cache seem to encounter snakes much more often than would be normally expected.
A storm water basin near the beginning of a nice bike track that has awesome views of the airport."

You seem to be unnecessarily endangering human life. DNF and dont plan to even look.
 
16-Mar-18
Tftc....I also drop off the [Whiskers the Cat Travel Tag](https://coord.info/TB6Z412). This tag hadn't been moved on properly since I picked it up at the cache in which I collected it. I have messaged the person who still is shown to have it this tag in their possession. Hopefully this can be resolved soon.

Accurate coords helped me find this one and I had it in hand in less than a minute - I consider myself lucky - log signed.

Cache # 1554.

This afternoon, I went to a big shopping centre in the South for business, and found this cache on my way home.

It was the second attempt. I tried it before with no success. Now, since it's on my way, I tried again.

Took several minutes to search around, cannot find the cache. Tried the other side, still nothing. When I was about to give up, I found it.

It was hidden in a reasonable spot, and covered well.

Took nothing, left nothing. Signed the log, and put it back. Covered it as well.

Thanks for the cache, Woolly_. Now I can cross it off from my DNF list.
 
22-Aug-17
Thanks for bringing me to this interesting spot. It was surprisingly busy – maybe because everyone is out for walk at lunchtime.

Nice to cross a DNF off our list. First find of the day with CacheClosed1847. It was dark last time, and we could see why we couldn't spot it then. Nice hide in a nice setting. TFTC #229.
 
24-Jun-17
After a DNF on our (CachingTheJoint and I) last look, we came back in the daylight to try our luck again. This time it was a success. TFTC. #250
 
18-Jun-17
A quick find on a cool Sunday morning. Found while spending the weekend in Adelaide. TFTC
 
11-Jun-17
With a rare, of late, sunday that I'm not required at work it was time to head into the CBD and surrounds to see what I could find. This is one of a few new smilies on the map as a result.
Thought it was time for a third look here and this time, after out-waiting a dog out walking his muggle, it was a quick find and sign.
Thanks for the cache Woolly_
 
24-May-17
Looked with CachingTheJoint and Bailes01
 
24-May-17
Our 2nd DNF of the evening with CacheClosed1847 and Bailes01. The time meant it was a figure of late and we think we'll snaffle it if we come back in daylight.

Have tried this one a few times with no luck. After being alerted that it has been found recently we tried again. As per previous logs the cache is in need of repair so we have replaced the container with similar to description, new log and have placed it higher as many old logs mentioned it being soaked. Co-ords are still good for locating.

Thanks Woolly for the hide and hope you don't mind on the maintenance.

I arrived in Adelaide from NZ this morning for a couple of days work. I had a few hours to spare today to headed off to find a few caches. Found this as per the recent logs. Could do with a fix up. TFTC, Biggles.
 
03-Apr-17
As butterflyjen mentioned, it needs maintenance.

this cache is no container at all.
 
02-Apr-17
A fun Sunday morning geocache outing with jc125jc. Found remnants of the cache as placed temporarily by previous geocacher. Still wondering about Figure 8.
 
02-Apr-17
Found with butterflyjen. We saw "suspicious log book" hidden and we checked the last login from Snap Happy which wrote that "Left under rocks near large rock at GZ." We think this is it.
 
02-Apr-17
The remains of this cache, missing its container, urgently needs attention.
 
23-Mar-17
Left on large rock**Out and about cleaning up some caches with getnict**... Big Grin

*Found whilst House Sitting in Nairne*

Great company and we shared many stories and laughs throughout the day... Big Grin Found on ground. It looks like this bridge is very new. Left under rocks near large rock at GZ. This one needs checking...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Woolly_... Appreciate your efforts... Big Grin

Out & about with hevwalker caching around the Eastern suburbs for attending an event in the evening.
It was getting warmer by now and the description about snakes made us both uncomfortable.
Still, no one was here and we searched for a good fifteen minutes before giving up.
There was quite a lot of debris and leaves near gz, thanks for the hide Woolly_

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs. **Thanks go to Woolly_** for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated.

I enjoyed finding this one at 5:43:13 PM, at night before a return flight home. Although log is totally water logged, so a photo is attached to verify the find.
TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot* Cool

Was drift triking in the area around the bridge with a mate and decided to try find it again and came across it, all soggy so engraved my name on the back
 
16-May-16
Relatively easy find as almost out in the open. Quite waterlogged due to recent rains as container has hole in the lid.
 
03-May-16
Have spent a bit of time looking for this one and glad to be able to cross it off my list. I was told it was in a different type of location by a previous finder but he found it before the bridge went in meaning I was searching further afield than I was supposed to. TNLNSL TFTC.
