Did not found the box. Only spot we couldn‘t search was the entry of the beehive.

DNF by Swiss visitors
 
02-Jan-19
Searched in every space except in that with the beehive entry. Found no cache. Climbed the tree. Found also no cache. Is it still there?
 
18-Dec-18
Went after this one to find track ales for this month’s Friend League challenge. I think I found the right crevice; however, the neighbouring crevice had an active bee hive. As I was digging away, the bees swarmed my hair! Little buggers! I ended up with a sting on my head and decided no cache was worth it! Beware!
 
20-Nov-18
Out for another lunchtime walk while in the area. I headed over to this one and was a little concerned initially I was headed for the wrong side of the tracks, but I soon found I was in the right place and made a QEF of the good sized container. Tried to rehide well with the stickoflage in the area. TFTC!
 
18-Nov-18
Quick find. Nice and big. Tftc
 
15-Nov-18
First find on my trip to Adelaide and so excited by it being a regular container size! As previous finder mentioned the cover had slipped from place so I put more on too. Left 4 tb's.

TFTC Smile
 
09-Nov-18
Staying in Adelaide today, I headed out to check out some of the much favourited caches nearby. I then picked a few more before heading down south to visit my brother for dinner. No hunting required for this one. It was in plain sight. I covered it over better when I left.



My thanks to TheSandypants for the cache.

Having met with a colleague nearby, we were heading back into the centre of Adelaide for lunch and I got side tracked by this cache. Unsurprisingly, as soon as I found the cache I heard the rumble of the trams and two went past in quick succession. Thankfully I wasn't muggled by a whole tram full of people as I was able to move away and then head back to sign the log! TFTC!

It was a fast found. The huge box could not be long hidden.

On a 37C afternoon there was some welcome coolness under the trees. Found as described in the previous log. I did have some paper with me so I left a page for others to log on until maintenance can happen. Thanks The Sandypants.

Disappointingly, this cache had been muggled, uncovered from its camo, lid open, most of the items were sitting in water from the recent rains, no log book to sign, no TB to collect, did not have a new log book with me, signed a leaf and left it in the cache, lid replaced, camo covered. TFTC

Out and about with a snake and a starfish.
It was lovely night for this strange trio ventured forth.
We were able to make this a driveby. Tftc
 
17-Oct-17
With a couple of warm nights forecast early in the week, the perfect opportunity to go out for a night of caching with all the muggles tucked up in bed. Enter a rat and a Starfish and a fun group was formed.

With one of the group already finding this cache with a longish walk through the park, tonight with gates open, we could make it a drive by. An easy find in a muggle free location. TFTC
 
20-Sep-17
So I had a DNF on this many years ago, but I don't know what I was thinking or how I could have this big cache! Ahh how things change! Started looking through a few hidey holes before encountering it, thanks!
 
20-Aug-17
Site quickly identified. Tftc.
 
06-Aug-17
Was able to take some time for a caching spree in the south city area, nabbing 6 finds and 1 did not find. In challenging wind and rain conditions that actually meant few muggle disturbances, GZ was firstly approached from the other side, so had to do a big go around. Found the large container without any dramas and dropped off and picked up a travel bug. Thanks for the cool cache Sandy Pants.
Cheers and hi from Canberra, it was great to be back caching in Adelaide again.

Christmas Race TB is not in this cache, it's in "You Call That A Stick" cache nearby. Apologies for the incorrect TB drop off log for this cache. It seems I can't undo it and change the log to from visited to dropped off at "You Call That A Stick".

Cache #16 - Sid and I out again after rain. Looked for this on one of my first hunts before I worked out how to isr properly... easy find in end.
 
04-Jul-17
Out caching with Doctor Owl, after attending the event at the Wakefield Hotel. Doctor Owl has done most of the caches in this area but I haven't so we slowly made our way back to Doctor Owl's place via various caches we passed, or were going to vaguely pass on the way. I think this cache might have moved from the original hide location a little bit as the description talks about dark crevices and it was not in a dark crevice. However, given the amount of rain at the moment, and the likelihood of dark crevices getting quite wet, this may be a good thing. The log book doesn't fit in the zip lock back at all really. TFTC.

Will take the travel bug back to the country side with us! Thank you for s lovely easy find. Short walk from our hotel and perfect distance before we head to Matilda!

Signed the log and covered the container so it could not be seen from the tram.

them alone. Round the other way as a tram went by, yep a nice
big clip locks box, have left a TB we picked up in Sydney. It should
have traveled around America, not Australia. TFTC

I am having a veally good time in Adelaide and the weather has been spectacular

Heading back to my hotel on the tram and made a short detour to this cache. Nicely hidden in a shady spot and a whopper of a container. Slim pickings on the inside. Signed the logbook and dropped off a Tibby pathtag... plz log it if you grab it!

Now for the trek all the way back through the park as that fence looks pretty solid

TFTC TheSandypants!

I had a vealey good time looking for this cache on a cold spring Adelaidean Monday afternoon. Yes, cold spring, that reads correctly!!
Very quiet out today, only a few trams going by, and the sounds of birds.

Tftc. Not in the best condition, one of the clips has broken off so not waterproof. Please don't figs and things in these as they rot and go mouldy! I've cleaned it up and replaced it and put some decent swaps in. Also beware of the beehive nearby.
