No response to Needs Maintenance and lots of DNFs. This one needs some Admin or CO attention.
Have looked a couple of times but no luck, caching glasses aren't working very well for this one 
I dont know why I couldnt find it - must not have had the caching goggles on today.
Always a bit nervous doing urban caches, just in case we spook the locals, but not an issue for us, loved the decoration on the verandah of the nearby house.
Good co ordinates on this one made for a nice quick grab, signed the log and replaced safe and sound as found. Thanks Skyflyers for the cache and a Monday detour to keep the daily streak going.

Always awkward when finding caches involving residential houses but the hint was spot on, so a very quick find, grab and go! TFTC
Parked by the phone box and strolled back to this one.
Made a quick grab when the kids over the road weren't looking and continued onwards to checkout the vacant blocks further down the road.
Walked back, returned the cache, and admired the ornaments. Nice Mermaid

First cache Smurfette4444 and I tackled on our attempt to bike ride to Glenelg… thought it might be a good easy cache to start my ‘green’ caching friend on but it turned out she found it way before I did (first time lucky I say…) ^-^ TFTC
Having a free double pass to a movie meant a trip to marion cinemas, so I gathered up Ismartis on my way through the city, we drove to Marion and we watched Love, Rosie. Immediately after, it was time to cache
8 and 1 
for the evening.
A very quick find for me tonight!
Ismartis actually got out of the car, thinking I woudl need help but I had it in hand before she really even got to me.
Have to love a quick find like this, fence or no fence

My second visit here. The first time the area was crawling with people so I didn't even try it. Tonight the coast was clear so I could have a bit of a look around, but I felt uncomfortable nevertheless.
Found the cache and noticed a red back spider that lives in the gap between the gatepost and fence.
TFTC Skyflyers!

Quickly located ..... Ive also got a cache in my front yard in Murray Bridge GC50CBB Thanks Skyflers for the hide!!!!
This one tested my nerves - I very nearly chickened out! Thanks for the hunt this evening, was glad to be doing this one in the dark:)
Found with 2011*turtle. Thanks to the hint it was a quick find which was good as we felt slightly uncomfortable looking here. TFTC
Muff1 brother found this one. Easy find.

Byercat and I sat in the car while hubby went and collected the cache. No need for us to feel uncomfortable at this one as Byercat has a cache at the front of her place that she has placed. SL TFTC
In the company of Goblindust who is visiting from the USA we did a few caches in this locality. Nice work. Thanks to Skyflyers.
Out and about with Liz and Bruce grabbing some happy faces in my sort of local area. Many thanks for all the great hides!
Found It!
Quick find, sign and replace here before anyone saw me...

Took the bike out and headed for this one early this morning. Easy find with no one about.
Not sure if I was spotted, taking a little longer than expected to locate the cache. Thanks Skyflyers!
Mr Tardis made a detour on the drive to work to grab this one. Fortunately there were no muggles about in the street, but there may have been some eyes watching through windows.
I found the cache in the first place I looked - don't you just love it when that happens?
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Skyflyers.

Arrived at GZ and pulled up the description to make sure SAPOL would not be called during the attempt to find. 
Honeysucker and Moneydork gave the spot a cursory glance but just as they stepped away, I saw it! Thanks Skyflyers!
Honeysucker and Moneydork gave the spot a cursory glance but just as they stepped away, I saw it! Thanks Skyflyers!Yep. Felt awkward caching this one during the day.
Many neighbours out in yards.
Had to take away with us as police were in the street.
Came back twice to return with owner in front yard and then neighbours playing soccer in front yard.
apologies for doing this but better than muggles. TFTC

A quick find while Trail06 sat in the car I suspect texting the cache owners.
You'd think he'd know where the cache was as he helped place it.
Found it anyway.

Found on an early morning run. Pretended I was stretching my legs at the gate!. TFTC
Found it in the dark on the way home while my husband stayed in the car. .
Thanks Skyflyers for the cache

Owl definitely felt exposed finding this cache, but the inhabitants were absent, the muggles opposite were oblivious, the clues made it easy to spot and no one else was around. She still managed to spoil the casual retrieve by dropping the cache, but you can’t have everything!
Interesting location.

A great first cache Skyflyers!
Your cache reminded me of this poem called "The Fence" by an unknown author.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.”
As William Arthur Ward once said,
“It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people;
to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.”
Happy caching Skyflyers!
