Multiple DNF. CO may want to go and check if the GC is still there and rectify the matter, if it's moved, damaged or been muggled.
Spent the morning and early afternoon cycling around the area - a beautiful day for a ride and the headwinds weren't too bad. Found 16 caches and DNFed on 4. Skipped the ones with a sequence of recent DNFs which was lazy but expedient.
Couldnt find it but Im not convinced it isnt there - just couldnt get a lock on it despite findinga few likely hiding spots

I used to live in Manly in Sydney and always dreamed of finding one of these at Shelly Beach or Fairlight. It never happened; this will have to do. TFTC.

A beautiful autumn day for a drive around the Le Fevre Peninsula/Semaphore/West Lakes area - a dozen caches were sought and 11 were found. Thanks to all the COs for the efforts in placing and maintaining their caches.
On my way into the city this morning for the tour down under I stopped by to make a quick find here, the cache and contents are all in good order.
Thanks for the cache

Thanks lib for this cache. Another amazing park I would have never seen if it was not for caching. Good condition
Thankyou!! Walked to work this morning and logged a couple of geocaches on the way 
a truck driver has to have a 15 minute break in the first 5.5 hours of driving, then another 15 minute break between 5.5 hours and 8 hours plus either 2 x 15 minute breaks or 1 x 30 minute break between 8 hours and 11 hours then they can drive to a maximum of 13 hours. This cache was found in the first 15 minute break. A short walk farther along from the last trad. quick find.
Had to wait for our return trip for the muggles to pass, but nice easy find. Signed and replaced TFTC
TFTCRare leave pass on a weekend to go caching and so I arranged to meet Anymules at a morning event and do just that. 
We considered a long walk in a park but the weather didn't appear to be clearing so in the end decided to hit the Port and clear out a few there. 
Wowser, none of this was here the last time a came through here.
I feel old. 
And Anymules made the find whilst I looked in the wrong places. [:(!] Bugger, I feel really old now! [B)]
**Thanks LíB for this cache. **

After a really crappy day at work I headed off home via caching to get my daily cache. I had planned on just getting a multi for a challenge but decided a bit of fresh air and walk would do me good to clear the head. So headed to this little trio of LiB caches.
It was a beautiful evening and my mood improved as all 3 caches were found. Enjoyed my short walk, the sunset was lovely and I found my happy place again.
Just one family still playing in the park as the sun had set, but it was a lovely evening so mild compared to recent freezing nights, so good on them for getting out for some fresh air.
Cache found quickly in the first place I checked, love it when that happens. Nicely hidden.

Some mums and tiny tots in the playground, but luckily they couldn't see what I was up too.
Thanks for the cache.

Despite accurate coordinates, it took a minute or two to locate this very well hidden cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 3LG for the cache.
#3322 Nice play facilities nearby and a quick find. Visiting Adelaide for 5 days from Canberra on this very hot summers day. Found a total of 76 caches. TFTC 3LG.

our luck stayed with us as we discovered that we away from the majority of the muggle occupants.
A well hidden cache with good coordinates, thanks for bringing us here 3LG

Visited the area with my family to show them the massive playground that's here, decided it would be an opportune time to look for this one! Nice quick find, TFTC!
Cache #1928.
Normally, Sunday is our outside day. In cold weather, we go East to go hiking in hills; in hot weather, we go West to play water on beach. Today we went to the Snake Pit. Noticed three traditional caches nearby, and all three caches belong to the same cache owner.
This was the second find today. I don't know there are such an interesting playground, if not for the cache.
Cache was just steps away from where we park our car. Found it quick and easy.
Signed the log sheet, and hid it back.
Thanks for the "Animal Facts" cache series, 3LG.

Almost gave up but a final poke whete we had already looked revealed the prize. Tftc
Out west for work so decided to do a little 'caching' on the way home. Was a little worried I wouldn't find this cache as lots of workmen renovating the park. Is going to be great when it's finished. Anyway they were knocking off for the day & cache was well away from the upgrade. Tftc
Well what to say didnt take to long to find and car was not to far to sign log then a van pulls up .
maybe just wright short version of story let say they unloaded there van and hung round gz leaveing me to wait ages before could return cache to its spot.Tftc there also was to many muggles near your other cache for me to add my nane to that so back another day

We were in the port of Adelaide for the day on Holland Americas Amsterdam. We had a 6-hour tour in the morning that took us to the town of Hahndorf. We knew we could get a few caches there. On the way there, we did a photo stop at Mt Lofty. Wow! There was a cache about 400' from the viewpoint. So Marbles zipped down the trail and bushwhacked through the forest to get that one.
We had two hours of "free-time"in which we had a great German lunch and were also able to get a cache at either end of the town. The group returned to the ship, where we changed into our "geocaching clothes" and out we went for the rest of the day. We did a large 8-mile walking loop around the beautiful port town and were able to find 14 caches before we had to head back to the ship for dinner.
So we wound up with 17 caches on the day, with one DNF near the end of the day. Great day!!!
Thank you to 3LG for 12 of the 17 caches and to each of the other COs for their efforts and for their caches. A special thank you to 3LG for the "walk through the animal kingdom" via cache Descriptions, which were full of great information.
