As we were snooping around, a shop owner came out and asked us 'are you playing that game?'. He pointed to where it used to be hidden, but told us it had been taken away a couple of years ago. The last logs are from May though, so we'll have to go back and check ourselves sometime.
WOW!!! that was tricky...I don't know why I didn't look here before...I have seen these hides before...
Ventured into town today to attend the pancake event this morning with clare007...

Here with hevwalker today grabbing a cache before the nearby Pancake event. Looking in the obvious spots, we were coming up empty handed & running out of places to look. The camo was so good it was overlooked, very clever & tricky. A favourite thanks for the hide
Out and about on a quest turning into on a perfect sunny but fresh Autumn day [^]
This one was beginning to tick me off a bit so I decided a more aggressive approach was gonna be launched It turns out that wasn't necessary coz the shop was closed for some reason and GZ was 100% devoid of any 'Non-Geocaching Folk'... how we 'Geocaching Folk' like it [^]
An immediate find was made only because I had the correct mind-set of where I was meant to look and what kind of hide it was I will admit after I DNF'd this one I had about 2 more attempts but hey! once it's DNF'd it's DNF'd right? That blue face ain't gonna get any Blue'r ha ha.
In all seriousness, I was glad to wipe this DNF away coz this spot can be severely Muggley at times with that sitting area nearby making any real attempt a timid affair [:o]

Had just been to the Annual Christmas Event and decided to grab a few caches as I slowly made my way home. [^] Had a fun time in an area I don't frequent all that often.
Took a little while to suss out the hide, but after reading the hint and looking at everything, I uncovered the cache.
Cache is not an eclipse tin any more, just a log in a plastic bag as a previous log stated.
Thanks for the cache ConnietheKombi.

Had a good look and even asked the shop owner. Not found where she indicated it should be.
(Sun 22 Oct 2017 about 13:35) Even on a Sunday I was a bit nervous about looking around this spot. Hats off to this clever and tricky hide it defeated me..... today. I will return TFTH ConnietheKombi
Thanks for the cache, a nice hidey hole that we didn't go straight for, on the 1 year anniversary of our move into the area
The regular Tuesday night caching crew with Moneydork and SEMIK. We started in the inner west and slowly made our way out to the north eastern areas of the city, picking up the new listings that have appeared since our last foray out this way.
I was sure I had DNF'ed this one in the past, but as we arrived the area was not familiar, so I must have confused this with another cache. Found quickly enough after trying a few other more obvious spots.
This was find number 2 of 7 for the night for me. TFTC ConnietheKombi!

Cache # 1507.
This Sunny Sunday afternoon, I went to Morialta Conservation Park in Rostrevor to attend a geocaching event. After the event, I tried this cache on my way home.
Parked my car in the carpark, and walked to GZ. Searched around, but found no cache. Went back to car, checked previous logs, and realised the cords were changed. With the new cords, cache has been found fairly easy. Sign the log sheet, and put it back.
Went to the shop to take a look, before leaving there.
Thanks for the cache, ConnietheKombi.

Using the coords the cache was soon on hand. Tbh though it was the first place i thought it would be. TFTC
A beautiful sunny morning on which to jump on the bike and grab a few caches. I had a previous DNF here about 16 months ago so I was hoping for better luck. Initially I was left scratching my head after looking in the obvious spots. After reading the previous logs I noted that the coordinates and the container were different. With this information in hand it didn't take too long. TFTC.
We have been here before with no luck. So whilst we were in the area we decided to do a little cache maintenance fo th cache owner. We had to place it elsewhwere as the orignal hide is gone.tftc
Visiting for a second time hoping this would have been checked by the CO after the numerous DNF,s and an earlier visit with a previous finder it has been a thorn on our map. Ok so we have replaced this one also for the CO who really needs to check on their caches. Our placement co ords are S34 53.500 E138 40.876.
Day 3 in Adelaide and we thought that we would have a walk around Morialta Conservation Park. We started with a walk to the first falls then went along the harder route to the deep view lookout. A very pleasant walk on a wonderful sunny spring day.
Had a look on the way back to home base but with no luck...

First for the day and it's always good to start with a find .
We'd been here before without success and today seemed no different, our GPS wanting us at the enclosure again .
Read some logs and were happy to hear the owner knows about the cache [^]. Then read someone else thought the coords were out a bit [:o)] - then Mrs DISK quickly had it in hand .

Thanks ConnietheKombie.

Sneaky! Tftc and thanks to the deli man who said 'are you looking for that thing?' And then we dropped it and it's kind of hard to pick up.. Anyway it's back in place & waiting for the next finder
Suprisingly the area was deserted on a Saturday night. Made searching alot easier, and the cache was soon found! Thank you!
A fitting finish to a bad day of caching! Found the first nano... grrr.... missed the next two but found the last! Thank goodness.
First visit really muggle interrupted. Found today with ABLEA86. Nice way to finish an average days caching TFTC

Took a few minutes but found it in the end:-) Tftc! A new log book might be nice thought
Another find on the way home from the Xmas event in town.
Sorry for the late log I have fallen a bit behind in logging.

I was just riding the bike home from Morialta and saw this cache showing up on the map.
As soon as I rounded the last corner, I realised that I had been here a few times before [:o]
Oh no !!
Not the takeaway again
All was quiet, and I read the cache notes .... again !!
This time around something made sorta sense.
And within a couple of minutes I found the cache [:o]
I'm sure I looked there on past visits
I was lucky this time though
TFTC, Yum !!

We think we've got the right spot according to the hint but have yet to find it. We'll be back!
Out doing a few caches in the area today as we stayed here during our holiday.When we pulled up it was quiet but soon after all sorts of people stopped to get their lunch or so, which made it impossible to search further.
As we approached GZ we though we had a few muggles milling around. Turns out we found another family of Ceocahers. They we even good enough to give us a clue. -Thanks.
Found with 2011*turtle. This was our second visit to this area. Today there were no muggles and we saw the meaning of the hint. A clever hiding place. TFTC
Out and about for a spot of night caching with Team Waldron
Quick find, cool cache

A Saturday night at a friends place saw my in the vacinity of this cache so it seemed like a good opportunity to grab it tonight. Thanks for the hunt this evening, great to explore a different location.
All previous attempts to find this cache have been foiled by muggles. As it turns out my GPSr was also a bit out. A recent conversation with the CO made today's find easy.
Today marks day 365 of this streak.
Thanks for the cache ConnietheKombi.

Found It!
This is my 3rd visit to this little shop I think. After a hint from another cacher I found it quickly this time. Future finders may want to look about 10m to the SW of the obvious spot at the listed coords.
