Sorry. But this cache has been stolen or removed by some low-life with no passion for adventure and intrigue!!??
We will consider seriously if it is worth the effort of rebuilding this ingenious cache in the future.
Some just spoil another's enjoyment. We are not happy!!

We needed to rectify the three DNFs before us, so we searched high and low around this location, but we fell to the same fate the three before us did. I think it may have been muggled. Team A3, please check this out.
Passing by today on a bike ride in the area, so stopped here to rectify a previous DNF. Spied something different this time and while I had the right idea, I also had the wrong location! Widened the search area and bingo, found it. A nicely cameoed cache was found and as I was signing the log two muggles drove up a short distance away on high speed lawn mowers! Muggle deception technique No.4 was used – just drinking & recovering from a bike ride! After five minutes they were off again and cache was replaced. TNLN SL Thanks for the cache Team A3 and for the previous info with my DNF.
A clever hide, worthy of more than 2 stars difficulty. Those with me were amazed. TFTC
We have not placed a Red Herring here, so this cache is not a Film canister. Team A3
Out and about caching with hevwalker and clare007 after an event. Was a lovely sunny day perfect for caching. Very clever hide. Found what looked like a cahe with no log book but it didn't seem to match the cool hide that the logs described so we continued to look. Until clare007 spotted something and yes we had made the find.
Favourite for us.

Out & about with clare007 & Getnict doing a bit of caching following today's event...

Clare spotted something just a little different and ta! da! she soon showed us what she found...great hide...fav pt...
Ours was the first & only names in the log since replacement...
I have removed the film canister from the area...

Like the previous searchers, we had a good look around but the area was quite exposed.
Found the red herring film canister, but this would not have attracted all those favourite points so it couldn't be this.
Sometimes a sit & think renders results & I noticed something curious.
A clever, camoed cache, a definite favourite point thanks for the hide Team A3

Update: just read your log 7/4/17. Is cache off line or not [?] It’s not disabled.
Out in the area with time to kill while the geo-mobile was being serviced, so came for a walk by the river. A DNF here – I think [?] Did find a wet & muddy black film container wedged in a tree fork at gz, but no log inside. Had a good look around, but found nothing else.
If this was the cache then I found it – but it’s been muggled.
If not, then I didn’t . I’ll stay tuned to see if any body else can find the cache.
Oh, after 20 minutes, noticed the nearby building has eyes

Will do some quick maintenance on this one. Will be off line for a short time. Team A3
Clever hide, found after a short search after exhausting the more obvious spots, log is full and damp.TFTC Team A3
Out on a morning walk with geowifey.
She was into me, that we needed to return to the van park to take the family out, as we are holidaying from Sydney. This one stood out to me as its not quite in its hole. Debrie must be preventing from sitting true.
Great hide, worthy of a fav.

Thought I had found a lot of different types of caches but couldn't find this one whatsoever. Looking at previous logs I believe your log is also full.
I was looking in all the obvious spots to start with to no avail but the co-ords were very good which kept me in one area and the clever hide was soon revealed and the log was signed. A full log with one small spot left to sign. SL at 11:00 on Fri. 4 Nov 2016. Log is dry [^] TFTC Team A3
A look Here and look there, nothing.
The snake put his hand on the cache.
Sorry I did not have a log to replace the saturated logbook. TFTC

Another sneaky hide, after a short search a "I wonder" moment and yes the Snake was right. The log is full and needs replacing. TFTC and the hunt.
Loved this cache. So well hidden and it was only experience that allowed me to find this one. Love it. Lucky we did grab it when we did as a car turned up afterwards and waited in the area. TNLN. Cheers.
Out and about on a spontaneous caching run tonight with CPwanderer.
Woo hoo, what a cool little hide!!! Very clever indeed.
Thanks for the cache Team A3

Day 167 of "consecutive days with finds". Cache #1267.
I enjoy changing "green boxes" into "yellow smiley faces". This cache was the nearest "green box" to my workplace.
Today, I had a try before going to office. I parked my car off the road, and walked to GZ. Cannot spot any place to hide a cache, except there. When I checked there, I did not have much expectation, but the cache was actually there. Nice hide. No wonder there're so many favourite points!
Signed the log sheet, and carefully placed the cache back.
Thanks for the cache, Team A3.

That is as cunning as a bag full of weasels! If only finding a pen in our car were possible. Did not sign log TFTC
Gotcha!
On my way to find another clue or two as part of Cluedo and I found myself walking straight past this one.
It took some hunting, but I found it!
Strangely, it took some hunting because it was lying out in the open! Right where I was not expecting it!
Thanks
ZZzz..

A great hide, to finish my cache run today. That's 10 out of 10. A favorite point for this cache.
Tftc went ove the right one once but not thoroughly enough. Second time a more thourough investigation revealed the treasure
Sebastbat and I came with the pup to see the bikes do their tricks.
Oh... not so much bike now, but one did ride by.
After kicking some rocks, a neatly hidden cache was soon revealed nearby.

Found myself over this side of town and found a little cache. Took a little while but I have seen one like this recently. TFTC.
Looked around in all the obvious places here, before thinking about the options more carefully and making the find [8].
Not the sort of hide we expect in a place like this . TNLNSL.
Thanks Team A3

Been driving past this one for a while but always had muggles.... Today was the day to find this smiley. Don't know what made me look but glad I did. TFTC
Today was Day 4 of our Adelaide trip and the plan was to spend a bit of time at Thorndon Park. To get there I opted to bike and cache up the Linear Trail. Now on the way back. A great hide and a quick find. TFTC.
# 7598. A mild and lovely morning in Adelaide, and as our caravan park has a gateway onto the Linear Cycle Path of course that is what Robmc and I must do this morning. Such an enjoyable ride and so many others taking advantage of a Saturday morning too.
Heading homewards now and just a couple left to grab. Annoyingly it was Rob who discovered the odd one out although I had tried several of the others. Oh well. A very nice hide that should remain muggle-free, especially now this is a fairly deserted area.
Thanks for the cache.

Day Four of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747. Today we spent the morning riding up the Linear Trail beside the Torrens, not sure if we could call it a river up here at this time of the year, but it was a nice ride. Up one side and back the other.
Just a few mounds of dirt around might have suggested a track, but all the teenagers were on the skate park when we arrived.
Fortunately the cache was a distance from them.
Very nice hide.
Thanks, Robmc.

Extremely clever find. The signal took us a few metres away. Having read some logs it became obvious. TN, LN, SL. Thanks!
So out for a drive and decided to see if there were any fireys about but alas none so anyway we parked and golly if the cache was a snake it would have bitten us, could have reached it from the car, but no we got out and ambled around and kicked things and eventually bent down and cache in hand signed and returned to it hidey spot TFTC
Found while taking the geomut for a stroll. Mrs Tiedyesmileys walked straight up to the cache and had it in her hand even before Mr Tiedyesmileys had a chance to look. Nice camo.

Well constructed cache. I surprised myself when I found it in the first place I looked. Thanks for the cache.

In Adelaide for work again, so lucky for me brisal5 was happy to take me out for a drive and collect a few caches.
Thanks

Our second attempt at finding this one... wow that was so hard but we found it pretty quickly with some clever thinking
Great hide, very sneaky.
I don't know what inspired me to look at that
but I would have been looking for ages if I didn't.

Wooohooo! After many tries and a few geocache videos....we finally found it! Awesome we are chuffed! TFTC great learning curve for us.
Second time and still could not find it, we are novice but if a 6 yrs old could find it surely we could too. Would really appreciate if owner could check if still there . Thank you WWEX4
Found after a search that took longer than what it should have
I had an inkling from the start but it turned out not to be. Turns out I was right, I just had to wander further down to find what I was looking for!
A very clever hide indeed!

What a shame that the BMX track is no longer here - my kid's enjoyed riding on it previously. With 4 of us looking, it was the smallest (6yrs) that found this one! He was very happy about this. TFTC
Very clever hide. Found while waiting to do a job. Best way to pass time. Cache is in good condition still. TFTC !
Mr Tardis drove up to GZ and started to have a look around. Pretty quickly I tried something that ended up concealing a cache. A nice hide indeed.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Team A3.

BMX Bike Track cache in now back in play for your pleasure following some minor maintenance.
You will no doubt notice that the Council has now removed all of the BMX bike track mounds and jumps. All that is left now are the memories of what had been..... and the fun our children have had.
Enjoy

Found with Magic [8] will need some TLC as log is saturated. Did not sign but photo taken to prove the find. Can post photo if requested.

Have never pulled into this little car park before.
Walked straight up and found the cache in the first place we looked - a really satisfying feeling when the hide is clever like this!
The log book is almost mush. We managed our stamp on the wet paper but writing on it is now impossible.
