New one being built.

Apparently this is missing!

After three days of celebrating Semik's birthday at the "Gonna Soak up the Sun event" it was time to head north traveling with alansee and try our luck with some Adelaide caches.
Another DNF for us today.
We hope we have just missed it but we did have a good search.
Thanks anyway

Couldn't find it but I am only new at this

Our second try and still no luck! Thought we had the cache but no contents

There were only two obvious places to hide a cache here based on the hint, and Mr Tardis couldn't find the cache in either of these places, even with a torch

Either I'm looking in the wrong place, or I'm blind, or it's gone.

Geonephews loved this one and I found it a crack up once I saw them retrieving it! That is the kind of micro I like! That is a fav point from us

Loved this cache it was a crack up when we found this cache. TFTC

Very creative hide! Somehow managed to do this without being seen despite a near full car park.

Thanks for the cache Charles Sturt!

Tennis muggles were present when I arrived [:o]
They did not seem to be a problem as I soon spied the cache in it's hiding place.
Only when I started to extract the cache did their presence become a problem !!
Huh ?!!?
This could take longer than I realised
I devised a cunning plan, and using the pushbike managed to recover the cache unseen.
Logbook signed and again the pushbike allowed me to replace the prize
TFTC, it brought a smile to my face

I do think this cache is probably best done when there are muggles nearby !!
It will test your sneaky stealth skills !!

Found late at night after realising that I had not ticked a cache off for 12/12/12! Night time meant no muggles around and a nice easy find and sign without interruption! TFTC Charles Sturt!

Way too long, not the first that has surprised us , enjoyed the cache used as a walking stick while muggles departed in their cars TFTC

Found on a day out caching with Yogiteam1985. TFTC unusual cache container...

Wasn't sure how we were going to retrieve this after actually finding it.. There were people coming and going all the time.. Eventually managed to retrieve it and headed for the bush to sign the log... Again we managed to get the cache back in it's hiding hole safely.. How long? Sorry didn't measure it...!!
Thanks Charles Sturt for the cache

Found on our way to the Christmas Event. Another great cache Charles Sturt & MtnLioness Can't wait to see what other treasures you have placed around the area.

TFTC

Found with e.gregory1 this morning while grabbing a few caches in the area. TFTC

A fun hide found on an early morning spot of caching with EsromL. Thanks Charles Sturt for the cache.

Had to be patient nice find

Wow high muggle area trying to be stealthy was achieved lol

Found with Schnail. First geocaching trip.

Very good hide. Love it. Found with some muggle friends.

required patience and stealth to retrieve. Great design. TFTC

Wow .... nice cache container .... how long? indeed!

Saturday afternoon, probably not the best time to try this one ... had tennis going on on one side, cricket match on the other side, and people coming out to parked cars from the recreation centre..... but bein a cacher on a mission ... had to go in for the find!

Loved the container and the thought in this one ...

Fav point from me.

Added Seek3rs sticker and date to the log.

TFTC

Found in the company of VRSO and Mr Scoobster while touring around the city for the day.

Good one

One of the best caches I've ever found. Smart, with humor and surprise inside.

Favorite point given.

Thak you for nice hide.

Greetings from Slovakia

Mr M-SEZ had the day off, so it was off on a cache date with Mrs M-SEZ while the kids were at school!

Strolled over to this one from 'Watching St Clair'. Had to wait it out for a while. A bunch of muggles came out of a building on the other side of the carpark just as we got there. Found a fantastic cache once they'd left, however. Then we got out of there real quick. TFTC

Timed my visit well as within a couple of minutes every woman (man) and their kids came out of the hall. Nicely constructed container. Been a long time since I've seen one like that. Thanks CS.

Simply a noice piece of cache art/engineering/design/placement. It all comes together here. Just watch for muggles. They have no idea. No eye contact is the key. Caching rule 105. 4 after 101.

Promise I did not leave a plastic dinosaur! Thanks to Charles Sturt and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Well that's different lol tftc

Gps died as neared gz, but didnt take long to spot the cool hide.
Retrieved betwee muggles arriving and departing for their games..
Replaced the same way.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found it, signed it, loved it!

Great cache, thanks! Luckily it was quite muggle free at about dusk

Found It!
Much longer than I thought. I don't think anyone saw me...
TFTC

Got to GZ and it wasn't that long before geogirl found the cache. Signed the log and replaced when the muggle tennis players were walking the other way!
SL @ 16.00, TNLN, T4TC

Not wrong about the muggles. Taken a few attempts to get back to this one. And now school kids hanging around too. My favourite sneaky one. TFTC. Excellent!!!!

Five out of five today. Found with Lil Tish, geogirl and puppy this one had us using our brain to retrieve as there were muggles everywhere, but they were all occupied in their own sporting activity. We all stood around gz watching the soccor pulled out the cache walked off as if we had a walking stick! soon signed log out of muggle view and returned cache, sat around gz watching some more soccor play and then headed to the next nearest cache. TNLN. TFTC

The hardest thing i've found when kids join geocaching is that not all are able to become premium members and thanks to Charles Sturt + MtnLioness you have given my little friends a chance to make some more finds and complete the logs online [^] so THANK YOU

And that's HOW LONG!!!!!!!!

Had to wait a loooong time for a muggle free grab..TFTC

Out for the day with The White Dog Gang.

We found all but 4 for the day and found had a good day out.

Thanks to all who placed caches.

Great sunny Sunday morning caching with Team Waldron.
Loved the caches in this series, great initiative that should be adopted by other Councils
Thanks for all the effort gone into these Mtn Lioness [^]

Wow! What a cache!!! OMG! That long one!!! Good one.. Fav from me..

Thanks MtnLioness for the cache.

Have been along Woodville Road many times. One thing I've noticed over the countless journeys is how busy St Clair is in the afternoon/evenings, but that the mornings are quiet - even more so with school holidays and no students cutting past GZ or playing tennis.
Hence it was a nice quiet morning to grab this cache and with no muggles around stealth was no problem.
Cache quickly found, although I do get annoyed when previous finders leave the retrieval mechanism hanging out - it is just tempting fate with muggles (I have a cache with a similar mechanism, which is forever left exposed) After a quick game of tug-of-war the log book was in hand, signed, and then replaced.
TNLN, TFTC Charles Sturt + MtnLioness

Cheers

Love it! TFTC.

Love this hide - very clever concept - Thanks Charles Sturt!!

I nearly walk away from this one. I found it with out drama but I had to wait for a gap in the muggle traffic.

TFTC.

What a great cache, never thought it was going to end. Pretty well muggle fre this morning. Thanks Charles Sturt for the cache.

This was a bit different . So that's how long [:o)]!
Imagine if it was all twice the amount [?].
TNLNSL.
Thanks Charles Sturt + MtnLioness.

waited for the mughles to turn away, here I go.... what is this!7!?? tftc

Found at 16:34. Love the hide.

How long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?

Well, your friends with their fancy persuasions
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.

And you said you were never intendin'
To break up our scene in this way,
But there ain't any use in pretendin',
It could happen to us any day.

How long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?

How long did I wait? Not long
How long was it? About that long
How long did it take me to work out where the log was after twisting and turning? Too Long.
How long did it take for me to put it back? Not very long

Thanks for the cache MtnLioness

Its was the most perfect night for caching tonight Thanks MtnLioness

I had to do the retrieval and replacement of this. I think CP just wanted to laugh at me. Cool hide. TFTC.

Got there! Nice hide....Beware the Muggles! Great morning with Mtn Lioness and the new caches! - fab hides for kids! Good Stuff!

Probably my favourite for the day!!!! It sure is long!!! Thanks C.S. for the hide!!!!

This is the song that never ends,
it just goes on and on my friend,
people started singing it not knowing what it was
and they'll continue singing it forever just because it is song that never ends,
it just goes on and on my friend,
people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because it song that never ends........

ok you get the point, you grab the cache and it is like a magician pulling a hanky out of their sleve.

Thanks Charles Sturt and MtnLioness for some lovely new caches in the area.

Silver for us. we arrived at gz and mrs scoobster commented.. oh. bet it's in there. and it's one of 'HER' caches.. stuff it... go-on.. pull... pull... pull.. yeah.. long is an understatement.. just knew it.. LOL

well done.. Would love to be nearby when a muggle stumbles across it (not that we WANT that to happen).. but would love to see the look on their face! ..LOL

Great hide.

Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet ! Are we there yet !

Got there just in time the class finished and all the Kids disappeared so a silver for us

Another location that I know very well. St Clair is a fantastic community sporting hub. Our Geodaughter plays netball here every week and our geoson has played soccer and footy on the fields at the back.
It can therefore be amazingly busy here at times, so I was mightly glad there was no one around this morning at 7.20. You don't want to get caught with this one and try and explain yourself....

Thanks for this cache and the whole (upcoming) series Charles Sturt and MtnLioness.
This initiative is definitely worthy of a favourite point!
and as an added bonus..... **FTF**

The expanded convoy of Honeysucker, Team Scoobster and Owl walked across from the nearby caches. The muggles playing some form of football were a challenge, but 3 teams can create an effective screen for a retrieval. Silver for the group, who have nicely allowed Owl to go home and log early. Thanks all round!
