Cache is no longer there. I walk past this cache often and tonight it didn't appear to be there. As the last log said, they dropped it behind the fence. Needs replacing otherwise it should be archived.
Quick grab. TFTC

On a mini Cache hunt to day. 2 of 3 caches found, here I find myself at #3. Had a quick look while waiting for a bus, but was unable to put gauntlet to cache. Given the last entry was a while back, perhaps a check.
Nice easy spot by Eagled-eyed Donnazev. Signed log and continued on our Merry Little Way.

Fortunately a quick find as I felt very exposed so close to the nearby houses .... thanks Woolly for the hide!!!
I like to think that the cache has made the neighbours' dog's life somewhat more exciting. Thank you.
#2138 - 15:50; Day 5 of Sol de lune and LuckyL10n's great big SA Road Trip was now drawing to a close as we had cleared all of the caches on our Adelaide 'to do' list. It was now time to collect a few extras before I headed to the airport and home, while Sdl continued caching his way to the OZ Mega in Murray Bridge.
This was one of the finds we made as we wrapped up our day meandering around Adelaide. TFTC Wooly

** this is an old log, found before the cache was archived. This is what I wrote on the day** I hate having to go to work on my birthday, but I've only been at my workplace for 5 months and don't quite yet feel as though my taking a day off is acceptable. So instead of moping about on my lunch hour in front of my computer, I went out to find a cache. I had to wait out a student aged girl and boy to turn their backs so I could reach for the cache. Had to wait again so I could replace it. Thanks Wooly
A nice easy quick find even with the damn dog barking not far from here, log was full so i dropped a new log in there so that should keep it going for a while : ) TFTC
The last time Mr Tardis was here ( a year ago) I couldn't find it. Today I walked straight up to it and found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Woolly_.

Was in the area tonight after work grabbing the caches around this area. No muggles around so was able to search without being interrupted. Found the cache after a bit of looking. Log is full and needs replacing.

Found on a great afternoon of caching with Moses on the Move. We found an assortment of caches, including a few that I had attempted previously but where I had failed dismally. We were fortunate that the owner was about and about ahead of us today as a few of their caches were replcaed just before we arrived. Beautiful timing! Thanks heaps for this cache!.
Quick find on a beautiful morning. Visiting Adelaide for Christmas from Canada. Tftc.
A semi-lengthy search around a nearby tree resulted in nothing. However, walking back to the car for a read of the logs, the cache was stopped. TFTC.
Was in this part of town to see an old friend so I picked up a few nearby caches after our chat. Took me a few minutes of looking in the wrong places to expand my search and the cache was quickly found. Funny how looking in the right spot does that. Tftc
With a spare 24 hours in Adelaide I grabbed a hire car and went caching. What else was I to do!
A late night find, at least the rain has stopped.
Cheers

It was such a lovely day why not go for a walk to find the Truffula Tree cache which is not far from HQ. Last time I looked there were muggles about so I was hoping it wouldn't happen again. Sure enough just as I arrived at GZ muggles arrived to visit a family close by. So a walk around the park while they went inside leaving me time to find the cache, sign the log, replace and leave. TFTC Woolly
Was nearby, so thought I'd knock this one off on a quiet Friday morning.
Thankfully no muggles nearby and with a good clue it was a quick find, in a type of area I never like to linger long.
Took the cache for a walk to the nearby park to sign, although I had to sit for a while as a muggle was doing laps for exercise and I didn't want her looking in my direction when I was returning.
It was also time to reflect on a late sister as we got lost in this area on our bikes when the area was first built. There were so many twisty streets with deadends and cul-de-sacs and I remember us riding around for 30 minutes, trying to get back to the Golf Course road Good memories.

Muggle partner just happened to leave his phone in Warradale when he was down there working yesterday, so back we came today, which gave me the chance to get a few more caches in an area where I have many to do
We attempted 7 and locus cached them all
Not sure which the Truffala Tree is/was but there are several 'dead' remains around here
A very quick find though and then I was allowed to go back and find the cache in the park we had just passed while getting into here

Found with 2011*turtle. Waited for the neighbours to disappear and then easy find. TFTC
Found in the company of Dad (mtbikeroz) on a cold wet night out caching in an area we both hadn't cleared out.
I like those furry trees, but my Uncle has one and gets really shirty when my boys break a bit off, not sure why. The neighbour came out once we had found it so we ran, hehe.

A quick find on the way home from a friends house. We were quite interested to see the Truffala Tree as Joey was in a school play ... the Lorax! (He was a bright orange swommee swan).
There is another Dr Suess Cache ... Suess me a tree (watch out for that bee) GC2Q3ME placed by chillibutts that is worth checking out.
Thanks for another quick cache Woolly

Out with Aussie M & M on a mission. Find a specific number of caches for a specific reason and don't come home until the mission is complete. So away we went with a list of caches.
Another quick find for Mrs. M. Got one of them Truffala trees in the back yard. Thanks Wooly.

Nice find while on a holiday around the area.
Thanks for helping make my visit fun!

Very quick find today while looking for the Lorax of the Truffula Tree in the nearby bushes. No Lorax spotted, but there was a cache! TFTC.
Found It!
Didn't see the Lorax or a truffula tree. I would have been amazed if I did!

Out caching with Mr Honeysucker today and this was one we found. Thanks to Woolly_
Cache run at lunchtime with TWDG.
He found it while I checked other spots.

But which one is the Truffula Tree? When they are not in flower, it's so hard to tell!
It took me a few minutes to find it. No peek from the neighbours.
Thanks Woolly_for the cache.

Yeeeeehaaaaa!!!! Howdy Partners!! Tonight Mr & Mrs M-SEZ moseyed on over to the wild wild western suburbs to lasso us a herd of caches!!
We arrived at GZ some time near midnight. It was hard to be quiet and search for the cache, but we managed to do it without waking the neighbours. TFTC

Was heading out to Speedway for fire crew duties and made a few stops on the way to grab some caches.
Hardest part was finding the right road into here. TFTC.

Mr Tardis had a high-vis vest on and pretended to inspect the council's infrastructure.
Two barking dogs and a very suspicious neighbour meant it was time to leave. I did manage to check a few spots but didn't come up with anything

I was so fortunate here - I was mere seconds away from being busted! And now I have a few photos of the truffle tree! TFTC

We have this movie on dvd. A vhs tape would have given up the ghost by now!
Quick find, albeit a few metres off, but hint is good.

I figured this was gonna be on the zebra. They usually are. Do zebra's eat those trees?
Thanks to Woolly_ and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Ah. Byways of Novar Gardens. Found in the last place I looked, which was not the first. Urban caching.
Muffy's name was already there but I must have been a Very close 2nd.
Nice little area - and now I know what a Truffula tree is! TFTC

FTF. You have to love technology. As I am at Nullarbor Roadhouse and new notifications came in, I was straight on the phone to the other half of Muff1, by the way did not answer. He called back and I gave him the co-ords for three new caches and he was on his way.
