GZ fenced off/locked. I have found the under pressure cache so think I can see it but can’t reach through the locked fence.
Will come back another time.
Will come back another time.
This construction has been going on for a long time now, perhaps consider temporarily disabling this cache
Sadly have to DNF this one
I see what possibly could be the hide, up on top of the High Voltage cabinet, outside of arms reach!! Maybe smuggle gas found it and thrown it up there.
Might check with a previous finder

Today on the way home from the city decided to stop by 2 caches that had been recently disabled so was unable to find them.
This was a great cache that I found quite quickly.

The cache container was found on the ground but judging by its camo, that was not its intended location. Not sure where it belonged. Also there was no proper log contained in it. CO might want to check it it out.

Hi Sneaky M-SEZ, some maintenance may be required, please see my "found it" log entry.
Had a quick look.. could not find today... The construction was gone, but perhaps needs to be checked ️
unsure if the temporary scaffolding inhibits access to GZ... unsure if it's just my bad attempt at searching!
Got it! This one had been tricky to get because of construction, but got it! Finally we have a smiley, cheers cobber.
At last I had the “I’m just going to do it’s” and checked my hunch. Yep cache found.
I’ve added a bit of extra paper for the log and repaired the cache concealment.
A favourite from me

Was unable to sign log but CO confirmed that cache was located on the 21/6/2020.
Awesome hide. Thanks for keeping me on my toes and thanks for the cache

Had a really long hard look but the construction made it very hard. Wondering if it's inside the temp fence? Will be back
Stopped by here on the way home this evening. There is equipment on the forecourt of the Ice Arena but expect the cache to be still accessible if you really want to find it.
I am the proud custodian of the trackable Santa's Christmas Tree by SupaOrange and could not help from grabbing a photo in front of the cache Ice Ice Baby, a supa cache by M-Sez. Well, supa if you have found it, because for most it is as tricky as. If you have found it, then Tra La Laa.

Dang. That’s clever - found it whilst with my dad who is a muggle. He was like “can we take it home?” No dad. “Can we keep it?” No dad. “Well what fun is that?” Good on ya Dad. TFTC. So clever.
Woah! That is so cool. Ice cold even.

I had to drop off my car for a service just nearby, and so thought I'd pass via this one to find for my cache of the day. A sneaky cache with lots of Favourite Points, so I knew it would be clever, with many previous logs commenting on its type.
I initially thought I was too clever for this one, and went to the wrong elevation to begin searching. Nope, nothing around there, and then realised that the location didn't seem to match. Hmm ok, so I lugged my bike back up to where I came from. I then started looking around GZ, but didn't find anything. An other size, hmmm. Still nothing at GZ, I then began to widen my search area, and then went back over myself as the search area contracted. With the day getting on, I thought I would do a PAF for some help, but it rang out, so I continued to look myself. I had my suspicions the whole time to what I needed to find, but even the final cache hide was beyond my expectations. A very clever hide indeed, and well worthy of a Favourite Point from me.
Signed the log, with no muggles about. It looks like the log is quite inconsistent from previous finders, as per my photo. Fair enough that some Geocachers had forgotten a pen and not logged it that way, but even others who have claimed a find don't appear to be in this one? Hmm, odd. Thanks M-SEZ for a great geocache.

Was here today for an ice skating activity and reconsidered all the information I had and I’m pretty certain I have found the cache, however there were too many people around today to retrieve and log it, so will return another day.

On the way to Perth, detour and found the cache - signed the log. [^][^]
Like your camo so neat job. (with help)
Fav from me.
Thanks %OwnerName for organising the cache and hunt [^]

Out for an afternoon of finding with @fluffymaxi , @smersh, @Trimthecat and @JayG10.
This was our only DNF for the day, but we did encounter some problems with our equipment, so getting a fix on the cache location was difficult.
We will return.

today was the day we got our names on the log

find #1213 at 14:00 30/10/18
fav given for the hunt it took us a few times but nice to put a smiley on it

Having previously found "Under Pressure", this one was a relatively quick find. A decent amount of stealth was required however. TFTC
Clever. Our pen ran out so didn't sign log but took a photo if proof is required. TFTC!
Many visits to this one and I was still empty handed. I have been standing there gazing for long periods and still unsuccessful. Today KTPops went on a mission to find Under Pressure and it all became clear. After parking the car down the road (don’t use Stepneys car park if they are open) we made a stealthy find and signed the log. Thanks M-SEZ for a great hide. Finally this lone green one amongst a sea of yellow is a smiley.
Finally a smiley on this one. Won’t be
overlooking such things in the future... tftc

With Mrs Emily stuck at the RAH for a while today she sent me emily out on a mission so he didnt annoy her anymore than he had to. Tftc
Found at the second attempt. There was no log book so we have left a temporary one. Thanks for the cache.

skated by with my dad and getnict on the way to the saga awards event today, sneaky sneaky
Grabbed this one on the way to the sagas with Rod81w and Briana the explorer.
Have driven past this one a few times but has always been too many muggles around to be able to stop and look.

Cache #1760.
After attending a geocache event this afternoon, I made a tiny detour on my way home, to rediscover this cache.
In February this year, I tried this cache and found it. But there were too many muggles around the area, so I was unable to grab the cache and sign the log. I have to leave it for next time.
Today seems a good opportunity. No one was around. I quickly grabbed the cache, and signed the log. Then quickly put it back.
I like this type of cache. No wonder so many favourite points.
Thanks for the cache, Sneaky M-SEZ.

A very clever cache that I have been wanting to do for ages.
Early evening was a good time here and I quickly guessed where it would be .
A favourite point

Found the cache but unable to sign the log due to too many muggles around. Will be back another time to sign the log, and claim the smiley.
We came to Adelaide for the Adelaide Cup Ice Hockey Tournament. Obviously we really wanted to log this one but unfortunately not this time! We will be back next year for more awesome Ice Hockey action, and to find this bloody cache lol !
We are trying to cache on the 2nd of every month this year and this was 4 of 4 we found on a short walk this afternoon. It took us a little while at GZ until we thought about some other caches we have found by this CO. A clever hide! TFTC [:]
Finally a muggle free gz. Quick find as I have found the other cache referred too.
My first visit here a couple of months ago was stone cold ice. I didn't log a DNF as I knew it was here ... somewhere.
Read a few logs, thought about some previous cache hides from this CO then returned today to try something else.
Bingo. Hot as baby.

Grabbed a free tram from the CBD to here to find a few lunchtime caches with Kronklee and the Brood General. Excellent hide & well crafted. Log signed. Fav point for the hide.
When we arrived near GZ we started to look around for a hiding spot. Then we noticed something interesting and closer investigation led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Sneaky M-SEZ for a great hide. It earns a favourite from us.

A great weekend here for the travelling top team in the AIHL, The Melbourne Ice - a clean sweep of the bottom dwelling, local team, Adelaide Adrenaline. I've been here a few times and never really had a chance to grab this cache - today I wasn't leaving without it and oh my, it's great! Favourite point added! Thanks for the cache, M-SEZ.

Returned after making a google street view comparison with a certain other cache. Found it this time in 3 seconds. Waited for a muggle free moment to replace. What a fantastic and creative hide, thanks for the hunt.
No luck for me here, peak hour and too many eyes watching GZ. Didn't really know what to look for with this one. Will return.
Found at last with Normanville. Pressure off at last. Not quite where my phone gps had me. Log does need replacing. Tftc
A very worthy cache for the 17th anniversary of the US government switching on GPS. Thank you US government, Dave Ulmer, Mike Teague and Sneaky Squeaky.
Well, this one took us forever!! Once we figured it out though, we felt pretty smart! What a fun hide! TFTC!!
Found with cubs - switch and xandapanda.
Took longer than it should have. I'm way out of practice.

Like other caches in the area I had previously dnf'd when last came through. Today I cam back again and having found the cache mentioned in the description I new I immediately what I was looking for. Once at gz a quick find was made and I was on my way.

How long can four people look in this small area and have no luck. Then suddenly one of the four of us touches something and there it is. Great hide. TFTC
Spend waaaay too long searching the area with Pony1966 - nice hide! (a bit sad we didn't find it quicker considering we found a similar one a few hours earlier!) TFTC
After finding another nemesis cache on the edge of the CBD on Monday evening, 6 June, I took the same idea with me to try to find another nemesis of mine... Ice, Ice, Baby! I arrived at GZ with stealth mode on (which is difficult unless it's very late at night or into the wee hours, but I did my utmost best of course ) and made an immediate find . SO glad to rid myself of a nemesis and add that golden smiley to my map of finds. This kind of hide is awesome and gets a favourite point . According to the Additional hint there is another cache in the Eastern Suburbs where if I find that i'll have no trouble with this one , I'm guessing that works in reverse ha ha. I can't see my self being under too much 'Pressure' snaffling that one . I was greeted by a completely full log so I squeezed my name in there on a free line, realizing only once I was about to do the re-hide that there was another 'newer' log I could have signed [:o)] D-uh. Oh well, it's signed at that's what matters SL at 15:52 on Wed. 8 June 2016. TFTC M-SEZ
Great to show a friend new to caching this kind of hide. Hilarious in the end. took us longer than it should've. TFTC
No luck for the little birdy due to nerves with the Muggle factor. I tried turning over a loose seat plank or two on the northern most seat where I was seated looking at what might actually be some sort of clue before attempting ANY kind of search here! (Gotta admit one of those loose seat planks being a cache and having to sign it's woodiness would be a classic hey lol ). A nice looking gold tap at ground level just inside the fence looked inviting but to no avail so I left due to high intuition level saying loudly to me "That's enough GO now" before being arrested lol. May return very early on a Sunday morning or late at night for another crack TFTH M-SEZ

Found with vj187. Luckily her muggle husband was there to help with retrieval. A clever hide. TFTC
Found after netball tonight. Seen many similar hides so it was a quick find and sign whilst dodging the local muggle activity at 9.30pm TFTC
I used to love ice skating here as a kid, and as a teenager I enjoyed learning to ski at this venue before travelling to Falls Creek for the first time.
So I really LOVED returning to this location to find a cache!!! Soooooo clever!!! [^] I had to watch out for muggles so it took a few minutes to find, sign and replace without being watched.
Out with Brisal5 and AnyMules for a great day filled with events, caching, laughter and lots of fun!

After finding Under Pressure in the southern suburbs; this was a breeze. Thank goodness for people in the family who have long arms! Thanks for the cache!
Had been here once before and must have had cache blindness because tonight I went straight to the cache. Was a bit problematical retrieving and replacing so luckily there weren't any muggles around while I was there. [^]
Thanks for the cache M-SEZ.

Enjoying some warm weather on the last day of 2015 and the kids were playing at Bonython Park so I decided to grab a few geocaches. Quick find once I approached it from the correct side. Nice hide. Hello from Calgary, Canada. TFTC.
hevwalker12 & I searched the area with no avail watching wearyingly at the amount of muggles near the counter.
We didn't want to leave without the cache, so phoned an expert who lead us in the right direction.
No muggles to be seen so we claimed the prize.
Thanks for the clever camo cache M-SEZ

Out and about today with the geodaughter who is visiting from Canada. Targeted a few with lots of FPs to show here some fun hides. This was one of those. Picked a time of few muggles.
As I have seen this type of hide a few times before I spotted the likely location fairly quickly but left her to see if she could spot it. She searched for a while and eventually came up with the goods. Very well done
