Shortcut Cowandilla, South Australia, Australia
By Woolly_ on 11-Jan-13. Waypoint GC446P2

After a dnf previously we walked up with firesafe and locus we found it

I managed to catch up with the Honeysuckers on their flying trip to Adelaide and cache for a while
firesafe joined us and in between shopping, a nice tea at the Glenelg footy club rooms where we were joined by some more lovely geocachers and caching, I ended up with 7 smilies including 1 archived cache

Thankfully, Honeysucker had this on his GPSr still, as neither firesafe or I did!
Thankfully because it was still in place and a quick find was made for my first cache for the day

TNLN. SL. TFTC Woolly_

Honeysucker still had it in his GPS and we found the cache so logging a find TFTC

Assuming this one is gone. Thanks all.

Couldn't find on the first attempt but found easily today. GPS had us pinting to the wrong side.

Flying back to Perth on a 2:35pm flight so spent the morning wandering around logging some finds. Thanks for this hide.

With berad

Tonight we head out to grab a few caches with squeaky and earthlight, this is our third time here and tonight we strike gold, we checked the obvious spot many times and as we are getting ready to call it the prize is pulled 7 metres from GZ, a very tricky hide this one. TFTC

Out with 3LG and earthlight. ""Sneaky Squeaky™" Woz ere" A quick but enjoyable find. From Me To You From SQ72 T.F.T.C

Finally found with 4pairs of eyes and bright torches

Didn't find this one as a muggle was cleaning a gutter nearby.

Found this a while back but my log didn't work! It took a few turns but I got there in the end. A perfect distraction from my long afternoons studying! Tftc!

More clues?

Great Cache
TFTC

After returning for second look, found it. We'll hidden. Obvious spot but didn't try that angle yesterday

Alas I couldn't find it.

You have to be lucky some of the time ..... put my hand on it in seconds!!!! Thanks Woolly for the hide!!!

You got me. I couldn't find it. My mind keeps making look along the fence but its probably way of hahahaha. Have no idea.

Not too much hunting was required to get this magnetic cache in our hand...about head height. Quiet alley in beautiful Cowandilla. Found with two junior cachers. Freenie x

Doing this cache at night gives you a taste of what it must feel like to be a burglar, and I must say I don't have the nerve. Found it though, great hide, but didn't have a pen to sign. Thanks!

Forth time back I finally got it! Nice hide!

TFTC!

No luck! I will be back...

TFTC! Been wanting this one since we started caching. It is still there

Apparently this ones still here. Good luck

This cache is still in position. Not sure if you still want to have it disabled

Well, after a couple of attempts to try and find the cache, I got a hint from sushilord, so Donnazev and I went back again to have another look.

Lo and behold, there it was. Obviously just had the blind caching goggles on last time. Thanks for the cache Woolly - it's there safe and sound. And thanks too sushilord for the hint.

Fourth attempt at this one but this time I was with partner Genghicat & of course this time it was found. Yayyyyy lol. Can cross it off my list now as it was frustrating me

After attending the event we set of to go and get some caches and this was one of them, i still had it showing on my gps so we thought we would give it a try, found a very likely spot where it should be but no luck for us.

The rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated ... It's definitely there.

I was passing through the area to make an early morning delivery and didn't realise that this cache was temporarily disabled.

Thanks for the cache Woolly

From the posts I guess it must be gone again, Will check when I get some spare time

Cheers everyone

Sadly couldn't find this one - Donnazev has tried a few times too and neither of us were able to locate it.

Will have to try again at a later date.

Have looked for this a few times & still can not find. Wondering if it is still there?

Spent a bit of time looking around here, there seemed to be lots of spots it could have been.. Guess I didn't get to the one where it is hidden..

TFTC

Spent quite a bit of time looking for this one.

Will have to bring Genghicat with me next time. Hopefully have better luck then

We were in the area with previous finders and headed down this little lane. My GPS had me on the wrong side of the lane. Luckily the friends gave me a clue and after a couple of attempts I had my hand on the cache. TFTH.

Found with geo grandson. Shortcut was very quiet - no muggles today. GPS spot on.

Damn! No can find

Nope looked up & down the old waste lane

I was in town for work.... so Brisal5 kindly offered to take me caching for the day.... A great location and few people out and about due to the heat.
Thanks

Mogni was coming to town and that only means one thing...caching. For her it actually means work. But to me it means caching. .
I was so hot we decided to head home to an airconditioner. Decided we could just stop for quick caches only. It was in the first place I looked...er felt. But I didn't feel it until I looked...er felt there twice! Thanks Woolly.

Doh !!!
No wonder I didn't find it today [:o]
Caching with week old information !!

Thanks for the update [^]

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 55.820 E 138° 33.555

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 55.825 E 138° 33.555

Distance from original: 30.6 feet or 9.3 meters.
Coord update

Yep it was gone. Cache replaced in slightly different location.

Thanks

Found on a great afternoon of caching with Moses on the Move. We navigated to GZ using our GPS and the phone and we were a little surprised that they were quite a few metres apart. But we had become used to the phone being off at times, so we used the GPS..... for awhile. Then we noticed the owner had been on the trail earlier in the day and that the phone was more reliable than the GPS on this occasion as the coordinates had been changed. Armed with the new coordinates, we had a quick find. Thanks heaps for this cache!. Your diligence in maintaining your caches has earnt you a favouriate point.

Thanks for maintaining your caches. As we searched in hope for this one, Trail06 checked his phone only to see a change of coordinates. I traveled a hundred kms to get caches today so glad it was here. Thanks.

Gone again????

First find with Ollie and JoJo

Found it with Michaela and Geo Jedly creeping up on us

A nice easy find. TFTC

Found with i, dax when we escaped from a nearby Bagladeshi festival to go caching. The scraping behind the fence was the chooks... I think.

I was pleased to find this with all the DNFs that have been posted. Was well hidden and I was about to give up and then I suddenly I put my hand on it! TFTC

Took a bit of time but once i let my fingers do the walking it all came up good,tftc

Last trip here was a DNF as the cache was missing in action. So I was pleased to discover that the replacement had happened. On a windy Wednesday I returned, I searched and after 5 mins I found. Thanks for returning the cache.

With a spare 24 hours in Adelaide I grabbed a hire car and went caching. What else was I to do!

Sadly I did not find this cache. It may well be there, I only allowed myself a short search in order to keep moving.

Next time!

Found with 2011*turtle. No muggle guarding the area today. TFTC

Found with vj187 on our second trip to this site. The first time there was a muggle at the entrance to the lane. Made a long search impossible. This time it was all clear and I had just started my search when vj187 spotted it half out of its hiding spot. We quickly filled in the log and returned it to its spot. TFTC

Found It!
Still took me a lot longer than it should have but eventually I spotted the well hidden cache!
TFTC

dnf maybe next time

had a good look but no luck for us today
looks like we were to early

Might be time this was checked on...

No joy for me today but I could hear the chickens scratching around behind the fence.

Certainly did need maintenance because the cache was gone! Have replaced it in what I remember was the same spot. Happy caching and good luck

Had a quiet, but thorough look and we were stumped by this one too.

I spent some time here also but still no cache to be found. And I poked a stick or finger in every gap on the fence!

No luck on this one TFTC

Had a look for this one on the way home from work this morning but no luck

Find 1858
Found on the end of the GPS arrow during another FeatherWaite and BFE public holiday cache clean up, this time in the western suburbs.
Thanks to Woolly for the cache.
Fine Elsewhere

Didn't find, but my 2 TB visited none the less.

This one took me longer than it really should have but I got it in the end. TFTC

Called in on this one on my way home from work. Did lots of feeling before I hit the jackpot, and no cuts from sharp metal. Thanks for the cache Wooly.

A quick find today. Thanks Woolly.

A local was hanging around the area for a while, but quickly found and signed as soon as he left.

A quick find in a lane way I didnt know about, despite living close by for 12 yrs. Thanks Woolly.

found on second visit, good find. left a small octopus, and took a sticker which has travelled on

Tftc

While spending easter in Murray Bridge we had arranged to have dinner with Honeysucker in Adelaide and we tried to find a few caches before meeting up with them.
Thanks for the cache Woolly
Regards The Coffee's

dark alley, sharp fence. small tin what else could you ask for.... great hide!

Quick find, well hidden.

Heading past in daylight, and after waiting for the nurse to head in doors made my way down the lane.
Checked a couple of spots that I'd tried in the dark, before seeing a spot I'd missed altogether in the dark and easily found the cache that had eluded me previously.
Alas, no planes flew overhead whilst I was here today.
TNLN, TFTC Woolly_

Cheers

Quick find with Foxbane after work. TFTC

quick find with schnail after work

Didn't take us too long but I didn't even knew this lane existed despite driving past it every week for years!!

Travelling around the outer suburbs of Adelaide with Alansee collecting a few caches on a very hot day.
We have seen a lot of these byways today but for us this one was not a shortcut as we parked and walked in so we had to walk back again.
At least in this heat there were only mad dogs and geochachers out so we had no muggle troubles while we searched, so we had a fairly quick find and our names are now added into the log.
Thanks Woolly_

Found with Team Crackers on a rather hot day today. Mrs Crackers made the find in short order.

Quick lunchtime dash'n'grab with Team Waldron
Easy find, nice spot
TFTC Woolly

Lunchtime cache run with TWDG. Found it in a place he had checked.

TFTC

Easy find while on my way out on my birthday,

Nice and easy but fun.

all good. not sure if it was any shorter distance on my walk to woollies, but anyway... tnlnsl tftc

Did this as a driveby, not so sure it was best option, as there is cacti bits all over the place, made a hell of a noise! lol
Coords, good, found easily.
Thanks

Relatively quick find TFTC

It took me a while to find it.... I was worried about the dog because I could not hear if it was barking or not.

Thanks Woolly_for the cache.

Found early in the morning. Struggled with the search but got there in the end. Thanks for the cache Woolly!

Took ages found the pencil on the ground before the cache lol tftc

Found whilst out with Polky and missmad. Tftc

Did this just after dusk, so was caught out by lack of light.
Did enjoy having an Emirates Jumbo flyover as I was there. It seemed quite low, and was extremely loud - guess I should've taken advantaged of the noise
I'll be back in better lighting.
Cheers

Heading home from the library, Owl decided to find a shortcut. Fortunately no muggles to watch her antics.

Had to be careful of a barking dog, muggle even called out to it for barking at 'nothing'. Luckily we weren't here too long. TFTC

TomTom couldn't help by showing us a way in, so we started driving around the block until we spotted it [8].
You'd think the council would at least keep the place clean [B)], even if they have no intention of improving the laneway (although residents could be a little more proud of their surroundings as well).
TNLNSL.
Thanks Woolly_.
