Tea Tree Gully Council intend to remove the Lookout (it may have already happened).
The area is to become a car park.
[Below is an extract from the notification with aerial view of the proposal](https://www.teatreegully.sa.gov.au/files/assets/public/documents/community_engagement/information_sheet_and_concept_plan_-_wynn_vale_oval_carpark_and_access_road.pdf)
What’s being proposed?
In conjunction with the Fund My Neighbourhood project and King’s Baptist Grammar School, a
proposed concept plan has been developed to improve parking, traffic flow and pedestrian safety
in the area and around the schools.
The concept plan includes the construction of an additional sealed carpark on Wynn Vale Drive, as
well as a one-way access road (with parallel parking) coming off Endeavour Drive. These two
elements would be jointly funded by the State Government Fund My Neighbourhood program and
King’s Baptist Grammar School.
Further details about these two elements are provided below and are shown visually on the
attached concept map.
The proposed carpark
• The carpark would be located between the Salvation Army and King’s Baptist Church
carparks and would be connected to the existing church carpark
• Lighting would be included, consistent with the neighbouring carpark
• Built in 1992, the lookout was an initiative of the Lions Club of Para Hills, who are no
longer operational. Following consultation with the Lions Club of Golden Grove, the
lookout will be removed from this site.

If this cache is on your search list it maybe too late.
When next in the area I will check the construction progress and post an updated log.

The cache owner may wish to recover the cache if it is possible.

Tried the climbing spots and the ‘fell down’ spots but nowhere to be seen.
 
09-Jan-19
Climbed and looked at the possible spots indicated by the hint - no joy. Then read some previous logs and found it nearby at T1/1.5 territory.

I have returned the cache to where I found it but pretty sure it has moved from original location.

Anyway another smiley so I’m happy.

Thanks for the cache.

Found the cache but was a bit confused. Looked where suspected per the previous logs and no show. Went low instead and there it was. Not sure if it's been moved on purpose or not? But TFTC. Driven past here many times but never stopped to enjoy the view.

Found with Ryvez after a visit nearby to get a much needed hair cut! The hint confused me but after some clambering around the cache was soon in hand. An interesting view, thanks for showing us today:)

Funny watching superman_22. Great hide and great found.

This was a very easy find thanks to the help of the clue. I took my friend with me to introduce him to the game, and told him where he might look, and he didn't believe it was there, until I told him to just trust me, and sure enough, it was where I suggested he looked. I love the hint. It makes it so much easier.
Muggles arrived shortly after, and sat in the rotunda, so we got there just in time.
I never knew this beautiful little place existed, and what a beautiful place it really is, such lovely views still, thanks for bringing me here.
 
27-Nov-16
Beautiful day for caching. At the GZ it became apparent that there many places to hide this cache. I would have been searching for ages if i hadnt read previous entries. Happy hunting. TFTC
 
27-Nov-16
Logged this wrong before. I did find this cache
 
07-Sep-16
Staring muggles in a car made me give up. Boo!
 
06-Aug-16
We had a list of caches to find today to fulfill requirements for our [GeosportZ 2016](http://geocaching.com.au/dragonzone/game/geosportz2016/ladder/) assault, and this hide wasn't one of them. But upon passing, the area was deserted and looked interesting, so we pulled in and chanced our hand at a find.

It didn't take too long to work out where the cache was going to be, and we soon had it in hand. Neat hide and good coordinates! Awesome views all round from this location.

Thanks JustInKache.

I nearly gave up on this one, then read of few of the past logs and realised that there was some spots I had not yet searched.

I found the cache and returned it back to its spot.

After a great night out catching up with muggle friends, we still had to find cache for our streak :cO Heading home, and a quick search on the app for an for a likely find, we decided to give this one a go. We started searching in the wrong place and ronso was considering a DNF :c( Then red did a little bit more reading and, bingo!! Cache in hand, signed and ten minutes to spare!! That was close :cP TFTC!!
 
20-Aug-15
Was bewildered by the hint. Eventually it dawned on me. Thanks JustInKache.

Dropped B off for a girls afternoon high tea and saw this just around the corner so decided a small detour was in order. Kids used to go to the school just down the road but this was not here at that time. Quick find on arriving at GZ. TNLNSL. TFTC

Quick find thanks for the cache. Smile
 
20-Jan-15
I should not be having to do gymnastics like this at my age! Just where are the grandkids when you need them? Anyway, with limited options for the hide I came up with the goods in the second place I tried. Nice views from here! Thanks JustInKache

Third time lucky for this one. We finally found it with the hp of the photos
 
17-Nov-14
There were lions here !!
Concrete ones Smile
And a cleverly hidden cache too !!

I fell for the clue and went searching in the wrong place first up Red Face
But there was a more 'cryptic' meaning to the clue, so I did some acrobatics, and found the cache in the next place I poked Big Grin
Good that there were no muggles around to see me making a monkey of meself [^]

TFTC and views Smile

25-Oct-14
Today, after the event to celebrate Dr Owls recent significant achievements (I'll leave others to decide which was more important), I found myself in a group with the necessary tools. This time is was my turn to climb, and shortly had the cache in hand...

Then had a huge giggle to myself at the name of one of the sponsors. The business phone number only had seven digits, implying an old time frame but I'm pretty sure that if 'Mine Craft Engineering' is still around the owners are extremely happy with their choice of name now! TFTC JustInKache!

CACHING - Cachers [green][B]Acquired Caches[/green][/B] Hunting In Nomadic Groups, especially when younger legs and tools are required. After attending a breakfast event a small splinter nomadic group ventured out for a successful day of specialising in caches that required above normal height elevation. A quick find and some interesting older signage was noticed TFTC
 
25-Oct-14
Still travelling with the 'random' bunch of cachers we found, Timotatus and I came in for the kill.

Lions already tamed by RidetheGeoWalrus, frogs, owls and others. Made an easy find Smile

Awesome hiding spot, climbing is a necessity though. TFTC
 
14-Sep-14
Tricky hide thank goodness for geoteen
 
14-Sep-14
Good spot. Only found it after spying the hint left by a previous cacher. Someone who can climb or is very tall is a must with this one. Good thing we had someone who was both!! Thanks for the cache!! Very Happy
 
10-Sep-14
Running errands and I time to grab a few, 'kind of' local caches that
didn't yet have smileys.
Not too many options for a hidey hole once the bushes have been
ruled out so it was a quick find for me here today.
TFTC Smile
 
06-Sep-14
Eventually found this one with a bit of cache creep Sad so had to post this log . TFTC

Out for the afternoon with the ranger family exploring previously unknown areas for me being a southerner. Big Grin
My GPSr was pointing to one place and while ranger 1 was exploring the trees I looked elsewhere. Called ranger 1 over and asked him to look there and cache was soon found. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache JustinKache. Smile

Home for us is Perth's Northern Suburbs but we have recently embarked on a trip around Australia with our Cat and Caravan.

Now touring SA after attending Oz Mega we headed out today to hit a few local caches. Big Grin

We parked the car closeby but there was a boy and his mum at GZ. On our approach they skuttled so the coast was clear. hmm well the GPSr took us into the bushes but soon enough we returned and soon had the cache in hand. Phew.

This had mee looking around for a while, until I saw some sneaky marks from a previous finder.

Another cache where I had to do Dr owl's dirty work! No lions were spotted here today.

Thanks for the cache JustInKache.

 
10-Mar-14
A shy sushilord who didn't want his photo taken put on a gymnastics performance for Ismartis and Owl at this cache, and there were some nice views of the Adelaide Hills as well. TFTC JustInCache
 
10-Mar-14
Owl had already scoped out this cache and decided to come back with climbing equipment. However, today she and Ismartis brought their famous Sushilord extendo-arms and no equipment was required, with the cache being found exactly where Owl thought it would. Great views from here, but no lions spotted.
 
07-Feb-14
A great little spot that I didn't know existed!! Figured the hot afternoon sun would mean Id have the GZ to myself and I was right.... only mad dogs , Englishmen and Geocachers go out in the midday sun!! Thanks JustinKache for the hide!!!!
