Couldn’t find anything that matches any hints/logs. Didn’t want to mess with the water pump looking thing. Will return
we couldn’t find the cash fire ages but we fand the list out of it on the grand we have put the list bye the pole so if you are looking you can just eight your nome and that’s in
the cash was broken but we fand the back it would of been a great cash me and my sister find the list so we put it in a pole so maybe don’t go looking for this one
Took us forever as it's our second time geocaching. Could not have done it without other peoples logs. Fantastic cache. Thankyou.
My first find in 15 years! What a great way to get back into it. A very creative hide, fantastic hint.
This evening, gridge98 and I targeted the Burton Wetlands for a multi-cache there. Following that adventure, we headed north to Waterloo Corner and Direk to complete a number of the *Adders Addle* series, before returning back south towards Salisbury. A nice sunny afternoon and balmy evening to be out and about.
This geocache had been on my bucket/priority list given it had received 40 Favourite Points (FPs) as of the time of my find. So I was looking forward to seeing this one. We needed to wait for a muggle cyclist who had chosen the exact time and spot for when we were going to get out of our car to start searching, and after a few minutes, we walked up to GZ. The cache was quickly spotted, and I could see the cleverness in its hide. The cache container and logbook were in good shape, although there's a few random pieces of paper in there now, so it may be nice to have a proper logbook in this one. Thanks Motylki for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Parked up and made our way to GZ, the cache was spotted and pulled apart, a clever hide and a good one to find. Blends in with the area cache is all good
This evening I headed out with Davidwazza to the north suburbs in and around Salisbury, with nights getting longer it’s getting better to cache late into the evening. Came away with 17 finds.

Toured the Mawson Lakes and Burton areas in search of geocaches after attending the 'For the Early Birds! #21' and 'CITO - George Street Wetland' events earlier in the day. Came to the conclusion that caching around Mawson Lakes was not all that easy, with some tricky hides, difficult parking opportunities and a few caches that I couldn't find, some presumed missing. Looking forward to heading out north that way some time soon to search for the caches I didn't get this time! Thanks for the cache Motylki!
The great Southeast Saunter down to the Millicent area was over. Back to my 2020 caching goals. Only one of the three set at the start of the year was now possible and should be complete by Christmas. [^] So pressure off and back to caching when and where the whimsy takes me whilst I ponder some targets for next year.
Today I was headed out to the badlands for a meeting of the Befuddled puzzle solving group. May as well grab a few caches on the way. I spotted the cache hide pretty easily. [^] Got the first part of the field puzzle with undo undo but then it wouldn't budge. Squeeze this squeeze that if just wasn't budging. I though about the hammer I had in the geomobile but persistence paid off and I was able to access the log. Putting it back was much easier but then it wouldn't come apart again to expand nicely into he hide slots. More squeezing and finally it was back in place as found. I think the hide if losing it's flex. [B)] FP for such a great hide. [:X][:X]

My first find for a while. Enjoying cycling season before the three-corner jacks appear.
That's a really good one!
I put a bit more paper in.

On my way to a lunchtime event so I went a little bit out of my way to try and clear up this little area.
Didn't succeed in that but managed to get a few anyway.
A quick find today.
Excellent work.

Very hard to find. Had touched it a few times but was worried I would break. Found it in the end. 10/10
This was our first find! So much fun. Made me realize that I need to think outside of the box!
This one was some how missed while we were logging a bunch in this area, excellent cache, kids loved it. TFTC 17/09/2019
Sports activities were in full swing when I rolled up. But sometimes more people around makes it easier to be ignored. With a hint like that, I figured it wouldn't take long to find. Very clever.
Thanks for the cache, Motylki

Traveling for work atm. Had a few minutes between meeting so I had time to get a cache.
What an awesome creative cache. FP from me

Wow this one got me good, I even looked at it so many times without even realising it, if it wasn’t for the clue I wouldn’t have bothered!
Sneeky sneeky sneeky lol my son thought this one was awesome! So awesome he gave up his lego man lol quiet a hard one to find, but well worth is. Hint did help but only once i worked it out!
That. Is. So. Clever. FP from me hands down. I pulled up groaning because although it’s 745am on a school Friday ... this area was abandoned so perfect for the task despite the glaring g proximity to the open windows of the Mums and Dads around. Perhaps their closed shutters more indicate a different crowd. I don’t know. This is by far the most clever cache I’ve personally found and I thank you. It took me a little while to approach it because ... I don’t generally touch these kind of things. I looked and looked and tried to remember if normal, non cachy versions of this had that odd thing too. In the end, I just approached with high suspicion and a dog on her leash - thank god I have a dog - and I was right when the thing was not a thing - well, it was the thing I was looking for. Great cache thanks for hiding it. I’m bringing my (sometimes muggle) partner here to watch him go spare trying to find it I was a kid and had a swing whilst here too.
Had to wait out some muggles on the swing but spent the time giving the location a good look over and one object stood out to us. Didn't really know what it was but when the time came the hint made sense and eventually I had the log out. Missed Michells&hound by a day. TFTC
Was supposed to be leaving work at 1pm but as it was end of month stock take didn’t end up leaving until 2.20pm which cut short my caching a little this arvo.
Had hoped to collect 20 but only managed 13. Had 3 dnfs which all took up a fair bit of time, but converted 2 prior dnfs. All in all a good day out but still many to come back for in this neck of the woods.
Came back here to try and convert my previous dnf into a find. Spotted it immediately on approach think this was missing last time I searched. Very nicely done not seen a hide like this before. FP TFTC

Gps was a bit dodgy here today. Found something that looked like a possibility so examined a bit more closely! Very sneaky, fave. TFFT!
31 Favourites... make that 32
This one was quickly located but i was unsure if it was the actual cache so as a Cacher does the fingers came into play and the needed requirements to access this cache were successful and it was quickly in hand and it's log was signed at 15:42 on Sat. 30/3/19, so i'm hazarding a guess that was it? lol... a log book within would be sufficient evidence lmao
TFTC for a well designed and created cache, Motylki
The log within is in A1 condition and is dry [^]

Although I found this one quickly this afternoon, I thought it was a really good hide!
Thanks Motylki for the cache. A favourite point from me for the clever construction and effort!
