It's gone again so have decided to give up on this one. Sorry

I have successfully found this cache before. Checking very carefully this morning it is clearly gone.

The container is not at the location. This needs to be replaced. Thanks!

No luck. Could not find the stairs

Knew what we were looking for but only found blue tack. Bummer as son was looking forward to this one

Also found the blutack but no container. Assuming this was where the cache is supposed to be.

We didn't find the cache, but we did find the blue tack! Taken by muggles or street cleaner perhaps? Sorry we couldn't sign the log . . .

Cool stuff

Cool stuff

Looked everywhere with darksidelemm and Laighside Legends for quite some time and did not see it.

Awesome cache!!

Could not found it may be because I did not look for long or it may not be there still any way looks like a cool idea for a geocache

TFTC but little grouse. Log book is full and it seems like everyone is logging in over the other logs ... it needs a new log tiny paper (: ... really tiny... sorry we couldn't replace it

Spot of night caching with Team Waldron
Quick find, cool cache
TFTC bananabros

A quick find while out with TWDG.

Found it in the last spot we looked.

Log book found.

TFTC

too hard, too many muggles tonight

Wow cute didnt write a log tho. Thanks my first on area

Great little find after coffee at Argo

Very clever little trick. Took me a while

Dropped past with Mrs Frog for a rest on the Parade,
logged it (saved for later). Amazing what you can do with blutack!
tftc

Looked for this one before.This time success with Maddycat after rehearsals. Bluetac still holding.tftc

Urgent. Please check.

Oops! The lid was broken so it fell on the ground and it was too small to find....Sorry.
Manage to sign a bit of paper to fit inside but how to reattach?
Stuck Chewbacca back on with blu tac; not sure how long it will last.
TFTC. Cheers

Haha that was awesome!

No trouble with muggles late on a Sunday night. Interesting to see a cache that isn't like all the others I found today - thanks.

Found while walking back to the car after breakfast. Needs new roll.

Managed to extract log with tweezers, but no room to write. Nice hide!

Miss GG and I decided to go grab some caches after a nice home made pizza... Gotta burn off the calories some how

We had not looked at recent logs as it had not been updated on the gps since i put it on there, so I was unable to replace the log... but we did put some sort of mark on it..

This one need attention now its very sad..

Thanks for the cache Bananabros

Today Darknstormy were bored of being home so we set off to gather a few caches

This one has been on the list for so long but today we finally got up there to claim out find..

The log book is very very full but we found a tiny space to initial, we didnt have the supplies to replace the cache

Thanks Bananabros for the cache

Log book completely full

Found on our third visit. Got too tied up with Star Wars instead of Chewie. Got some hints from Dr Owl some time ago to make this a successful visit. Luckily I had some tweezers on me for log extraction. Log book full and needs replacing.

Very, very, very early morning find ..... and even then the place was muggle central!!!! Thanks bananabros for the hide!!!

Mr Smirch found it first but gave little Smirch a clue to find it .
TFTC .

Finally found this one!
Very sneaky hide
Was unable to sign log, it was in poor condition
TFTC

a late night grab didnt end up in a sticky situation

Ah I've seen one of these before. One of my caching friends had one. Couldn't feel it but had a look and there it was. Most excellent. A sneaky hide. Tftc

Seen this before in the city. Don't know which was hidden first. Gotta hand it to you its a good hide for this area, it should stick around a while. Thanks bananabros!

Found in the very early morning, on our way home from an evening of night caching.
A quick find with no muggles about.

Have looked for this one twice but no luck. Will try again next trip to Adelaide.

No luck today no time to wait out muggle who sat down as I walked to gz. We will return.

Finding this cache was like finding a wampa in a blizzard on Hoth. After numerous tries and pesky probe droids we finally were able to retrieve the cache and sign the log. Found with Bek-theraccoon. TFTC

Ahh finally! Helps when I'm searching on the correct side of the side street! Have searched out the front of Argo's every other time I visited, but checked the co-ords tonight and found almost immediately. Found with Alex-thesquirrel, TFTC

When we saw the name of this cache we had a pretty good thought of what kind of hide this one was - and we were wright. But unfortunately whilst we there was a muggle staying in the place we were fairly certain the cache was at. He eventually left and allowed us to grab the find.

A great hide, first time we have found a cache like this. Find #197. TFTC.

Got this one at last, tftc

Catching up with my friend Gral4 today and helping her with a couple of nemesis caches. This was one of them but together we found it. Foe no longer. A tricky hide in a high muggle area. Good one bananabros!

[:(!] Over from Perth to visit our geoson (RevolutioSolutio) and his family for a couple of weeks over the festive seasons, the geoson with his to geosons went shopping in the afternoon and I went with him and while he did his shopping I went and did a bit of geocaching in the surrounding area and this was one of them, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

This was an awesome cache

Great cache! TFTC

Found with Palya100

Found with DKBONE61. TFTC.

out for the night with honeysucker, mongi, apty, and later 3lg & earthlight

well that is a sneaky hide

apolagies for the late log, have been busy on the farm and with life

692

I had tried this one once before.... A quick find this time.
Thanks

Clever hide but we were on to you. I'm sure it would be much harder to retrieve during the day.
Many hands make light work, and Mogni's light showed the hide quickly.
Log was rooted so Honeysucker had to go to the kit bag and find a replacement.
TFTC bananabros )
11:16 pm - Find #1512

The three of us parked the car and took a rest. Dad and I chatted, while the geowife wandered around inspecting the structure. It wasn't long before the sticky situation was resolved. Tftc.

I always knew what I was looking for here. A quick find between muggles. It just has to be that way! Clear skies and trendy looks.

While geo-boy had his karate lesson, Mr M-SEZ and geo girl ducked around to the parade for a visit to Cibo. Whaddaya know, there's a cache up the road we haven't found yet!

After a short walk we stopped for a 'rest'. The best thing about caching with a 7 year old is...oh, what's that? You dropped your ball? I think it went over there! TFTC

Came down from Kadina to Adelaide for a couple of appointments so while in the area did some hunting for caches ..however this happened to be in muggle central at 1015 am so trying to find this hide was going to be tricky ..sat on the bench and felt around for a nano ..nothing ..was looking and looking around at where one could be from the bench but no can see , this a tricky hide , thou my iphone gps was not settling as it had gz inside the closed shop at one stage and then the bins beside the bench the next ...may come back if I get the chance but maybe at a better time like after midnight ...sometimes their easier to spot under torch light..thanks for the hunt anyway..

tb visit

During an early morning bike ride and thanks to a clue from another cacher my third visit to GZ was a bit more focused. Soon had cache in hand. How did I miss it before?
Excellent camo.
TFTC

Owl had a pretty good idea what she was looking for, but today, escorted by her cache-nappers Earthlight and Locuscache, she was informed that her GPS had been sending her in completely the wrong direction. Stockholm Syndrome started to set in when Earthlight made the find and Owl was able to add her name to the log.

Found with Dr Owl and Locus cache .
A quick easy find on a quiet sunday afternoon.
Took trackables to visit.
TFTC

I have seen a few of these types before, quite sneaky.

Wow! The street was still busy after the shops were closed. I managed to find it without being noticed. Good one... It almost put me off.... lol

Thanks bananabros for the cache

Second visit. Looked and sat and knew what I was looking for. Lots of muggles so could not have that 100% it's not there feeling when I left........ I will return.

Yet another visit here! Not too many muggles this time. Had a good search and came up with the goods. At last! Signed with initials only, on the barest of scraps of a log-scroll, extracted by the trusty Inox #4 entomological forceps. Thanks for the cache bananabros!

Spent 10 mins looking, sitting, and thinking. Not today. Will reflect on possibilities and return.

Had found this little pink chewing cache years ago with vj187 but had not logged it. It was close to my favourite parade coffee spot and such a clever and well concealed cache. I love the caches that are there and in your face but just not seen by juggles. I am sorry that it is gone. TFTC

very good

Thanks Team Wibble for adding a log!
Well done guys!
bananabros

Thought we'd have trouble getting muggled out of this one but once the GPSr settled down we realised we'd be able to look inconspicuous (especially after grabbing a coffee from the nearby establishment).
Spotted the cache and extraction was easy... it was the log extraction that proved impossible! Even with keys, pins, and other usual log extraction devices it seems that the log has turned into a hard carbonised lump surrounding the edges of the container and is stuck fast. After trying every trick in the book, we resorted to adding an extra bit of log rolled up in the middle (plenty of space for it) with our log inscribed.
Thanks for the (albeit frustrating) early morning caching experience, and the lovely container! We have one at home that we are yet to find a use for, this was a great example of a good placement for this type.

Deserted this evening made it easier. I have seen one of these before. It was so difficult to remove and replace log that I can hear Freddos rant in my mind. Thanks for the challenge.

Thought we'd be muggled out on this one this morning, but went and had a look anyway (as we do) [^].
Easily spotted the hide and were able to discretely retrieve, sign and replace the cache with no-one any the wiser .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Bananabros.

Found, I have to say that is a very good camo! Tftc. Found with my geogal sicathecat!

Almost at our 500th find, chasing 8 more tonight, only 3 more to go. A quick & easy find for Locus Cache, TFTC.

I had not been going to cache today, apart from one quick find and then back home for an early night, but an sms from 3LG blew that idea out of the water!
So, after another late night and a huge effort from them on reaching their 500th cache in a month of caching, I had managed between their finds to locus cache 5 times

I had this found and was extracting the log, which took a couple of minutes, while 3LG were still searching
Then I handed them the cache and they were both surprised as they had not seen one like this before

A few months back, May the Fourth wasn't with us, resulting in a failed attempt. After seeing that it had in fact been replaced and relocated, we figured it was worth another shot. Fresh from seeing The Wolverine at the nearby cinemas, we decided to make a late attempt on ol' Chewie with a muggle friend of ours. This time around, the Wookie was located swiftly, but the real challenge lay in removing the log. Luckily, Mrs Jedi's boba pins saved the day. Thanks heaps for the hide!

Found with 2011*turtle. I had forgotten to log this. Very clever cache. TFTC

Needed a find today and bombed out. Didn't go out until late and no plan B if we didn't get this one.Concerned as there hasn't been a log for a little while. Looked low, got torch out. Hung around while the last patrons left the restaurant, but nope. So now I Have a gap that will mock me for a whole year. Will keep an eye on any future logs and I have a long stretch in August to fill.

Found it early in the day, with my bestie, before any passing foot traffic appeared.
Claiming a FTF on the new location.
Thanks

Found early on American Independence Day - I could see it from the car! So glad to finally cross this off my DNF list - love the hide, SL thanks from postiegirl

Back today. Have changed coords slightly. Go get that cache!!

Coordinates changed from:
S 34° 55.258 E 138° 38.250

Coordinates changed to:
S 34° 55.268 E 138° 38.250

Distance from original: 60.6 feet or 18.5 meters.
Thanks everyone!

Not where it used to be, I have checked. But every now and then somebody finds it. Weird. Will replace in the next week or so. Thanks

We didn't find it. But we did find a rather grumpy looking cafe owner starring at us despite it been half past midnight...
If you do decide to replace it I suggest to talk to the cafe owner about it before they call the cops.

Was with Laighside Legends on another mission, and yes - we didn't find it.

You pwned us n00bs.

We will return.

Looked with the FTfinder - nothing. nothing. nothing.

Thanks to bananabros and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Came by early morning with hopes to beat the crowd, if it werent for a couple having breakfast I might have succeeded! Took a seat and looked around but couldnt see it, will have to do a proper search another time

More of a Did Not attempt. We pulled up walked back but way to many people around to attempt it.

Next time.

Not sure about Chewbacca but there was no way we were going to get this cache at this time today... Looked and shook our heads and left.. Another day..
Thanks bananabros for the cache

It's a very very sad day for The Geo Jedi's, when the force isn't strong enough to find chewbacca even on our own special day! Unfortunately the area was crawling with Sith and it was dark and despite our best efforts at using the stealthy side of the force, we could produce nothing! We even made the special trip, just for today! But we will be back when hopefully the force is a little stronger with us.

Out with sars12 finding caches for the scouts competition. TFTC

Found on 2 attempt

TFTC
Out with TPP

For caching competition

TFTC bananabros. Like McCaches1111 I was innocently 'tying up my shoelace'.

We arrived at the cache at 11:20am on a busy Friday morning. There were endless muggles hurrying pass, but luckily none of them seemed interested some innocent people 'tying up their shoelaces'. We spotted the cache but didn't have tweezers or a pencil. Tftc bannabros.

Geoson enjoys Star Wars so put this on the agenda. When he heard the description he had a good guess at what it might be. Lots of muggles here this afternoon on ANZAC day. One shop was closing so it looked a bit more promising. However a muggle sat down on a chair near GZ outside another store. Had a quick superficial look. Not able to find anything without drawing attention. Decided to move on. Maybe next time we are in town.

Interesting container... TFTC

Found with muzungu10. TFTC

TFTC! Muggles were hopefully preoccupied with eating lunch.
