With a maintanence log 6 weeks ago and still DNF's being logged its unlikely the cache is still there, the last visit by the owner to the GC site appears to be January 2014 and may not be caching any more so this one needs disabling.
Does this one still exist we searched everywhere couldnt find it good luck to next geocachers
No luck with this one and since a previous finder has stated it is missing its time for a check up visit, will watch with interest Thanks
Did not find it
It was our first one and kids were really disappointed
It was our first one and kids were really disappointed
I've found this one before but I was just walking past and it looks like it's been muggled
After two long looks today still couldn't find it. Found old log page lying in the leaves so wondering if it has been pillaged.
Set out with earthlight to grab 12 caches so i can hit my milestone tomorrow on our first year anniversary of caching, it took way longer than it should have but we got our 12 finds in the end after trying to avoid the rain that wasn't really letting up to much so tomorrow we celebrate : ) you may want to edit the listing and change it to a micro as i overlooked that spot as a small wouldn't fit in there.TFTC
Took longer than it should have and the hint only made sense after it was found. Thanks

MM+2 was in the local area checking out the "wall of beer" at a local bottle shop so we thought we should pick up a cache while we were out. Seemed at appropriate cache (don't drink and drive - ride the bus!) Took us a bit to cotton on to where the hide was, but eventually found the little blighter and took a seat to sign and return the log. TFTC grimecat.
Camped at Murray Bridge, on our 2nd trip around Australia.
Drove to Adelaide to attend a CITO event, and picked up
some caches while in the area.
Pulled up in the bus stop, for a quick find.
Many thanks for the hunt, grimecat.

A quick find with Dr Owl as we headed to Belair to pick her daughter up.
Took trackables to visit.

We were on our way to Dinner at Hahndorf and this cache was on our way. We found the location easily enough and without much though decided where we would hide it and straight away Mr Sandalwood Cottage said it is not there where you are is it? And sure enough it was, so a quick sign and we were soon on our way. TFTC
# 8027 Found on the SA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure, while at Belair for a few days.
Not many muggles around and a not so quick find after a good search around.
Thanks for the cache grimecat,
Roostaman.

This was our first ever find. Took ages to locate it mainly because we didn't read the description properly. Our 5 year old was the finder in the end. Was one small item inside, replaced with same.
Had to go to Mt Barker to get a battery checked out. By the time I got there they were closed.
No point in wasting a trip, why not cache?
Found in the last place I looked which wasn't the first.

Stop 1 on our visit to Crafers to clear up a few caches. No buses or passengers. Log sheet is damp but manageable. Thanks grimcat for the cache.
Was out for a drive with muggle friend and was driving past this one so just had to stop.
After a quick look in the obvious places the cache was found after expanding the search area.
Signed the log which is damp then replaced in its hidey hole and continued our drive.

I was hoping I would find it before the bus came along. After a few minutes I was a little concerned I wouldn't have the fare ready. Then I looked properly. Yummy, another mint tin. A little find "on the way" to work.
Searched this pristine for ages before I finally found the cache. Threw out the shapeless soggy lump in the bottom and put in a couple of clean pages to use until there is a new log book. TFTF
Day 6 in a row for 31 days of caching in August. Luckily I have this week off to drop the geodaughter at a course..which = all day caching. Joined by Mrs. M from Aussie M&M for todays frivolities. Mrs. M made the find whilst I fiddled elsewhere. Log and container very wet. Needs to dry and have a new log. Wasn't gonna happen today. We were grabbing this in the showers. Lucky somebody put a bus shelter here to sit on and write the log out of the rain. Thanks grimecat.
Not the usual spot for a bus hide. I found it by thinking outside the square. The cache needs a new log and tidy up inside. Took advantage of the bus shelter while logging this one. TFTH.
I'm aiming for the 31 days of August and I've been muggled out of a few suburban parks this arvo so it's time to use one of my close-to-home reserve caches. Eight o'clock, late enough to be quiet, early enough so I don't feel like the midnight stalker.
Lots and lots of looking with no result until I use my phone-a-friend option - who doesn't answer! Two last looks before giving up...How did I miss that?
Thanks grimecat.

Good bus stop hide as it's a bit different. Took us a while, but we got it.

Found quite quickly. A little damp but that's hardly surprising after last night's downpour and the log is still signable. I have no idea what the hint means!
Thanks for the hide grimecat

A quick find today. Only an occasional muggle about. The log is mush with water. Added a temporary log in a dry plastic bag. Thanks grimecat.
Was very wary looking for this cache. I am sure there are eyes looking at me from the houses all around. Eventually found it but the book was soaked and unusable. Looks like this one needs replacing and requires better water-proofing. Number 5 of 10 for the day. TNLN. Cheers
Looked in the obvious spots ... then looked elsewhere and found the little critter!!! Good hide!! Thanks grimecat for the cache!!
Found It!
After giving the shelter a good search I looked a little further afield...

Had almost given up on this one, it was late at night and thought i'd come back but when I checked once again before leaving, made the find. TFTC
I realised this morning that I needed one more cache to complete the A - Z 0 - 9 challenge cache and it had to start with a '5'
After looking at possible caches, I decided that one cache just out of town was the perfect one for tonight after work.
However by the time I arrived home much later I had managed to locus cache at 12 diferent caches and even scored a FTF too!
After having found that cache, I now know that it was the PERFECT cache for that day and possibly for a log time to come! [^]
To anyone who has not yet done GC31HFF.... do yourselves a HUGE favour and go find it!
Drove right past so I had to stop and make a very quick find.... it helps when Muff1 has his torch right on GZ

Owl thought the cache had been muggled during obviously recent maintenance on the location, but persisted and found it. Well done on hiding it in the last place you’d expect an eclipse tin to be hidden at a bus stop!
Found after sussing out a couple of likely-looking spots. Thanks for the cache grimecat!
Cache found in the last place we looked, which was as usual not the first place we looked. Thanks for the cache guys.

Out with the boys doing a few caches in the dark of night. This was one we targetted and were able to find.
Nice work thanks to grimecat.

Dropped off the car at the Auto Electrician and made the 4km walk home via a few diversions.
I agree with Astro - the first rains and the cover will "melt". TFTC.

Arrived trying to get FTF and ran into muff 1 who had arrived a few minutes before us. I finally found the cache after searching for quite a while in all the wrong places! Opened the log and saw 5 people had been here before us! TFTC. Oh, and sorry for the late log!
A quick find. I'd say if it rains heavily, the camo may "melt".
Thanks to grimecat and clear skies from TeamAstro.

After our find up the road, the caching entourage drove down to this cache one to make another find in the fading light at 8:50pm. Not found in the first place we looked, but it was found within a minute of so.
cronlays: It's always good caching etiquette to put a time on the cache log sheet when you're first to find so others know that you've found it after the cache has been published, and not just friends with the cache owner. If I'm mistaken I'm sorry, but it seems amazing that you were at both these new caches so quickly given you're not a premium member and not receiving notifications when caches are published.

Again, this one is miles outside my normal territory, but after finding the nearby "Three billy goats gruff" my group and Mr Tardis headed straight for this one. Beaten again for FTF but an enjoyable chase and hunt all the same! Great to finally meet Mr Tardis after not managing to introduce myself at the Christmas event . TFTC grimecat!
