Thought GeoKid was up for vandalism for a second but nope was all ok! she now thinks she's a GeoGenius
Finally found it. Had to search a little bit but we got there in the end. Had to make sure the place was nice and tidy of rubbish

Dropped in & found this enroute to Virginia... Grabbing some caches around Murray Bridge that I didn't have time during the Oz Mega... A pleasant day to be out & about...
A bit of a search, made the grab, signed log & replaced... Nice area...

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Great hide! Indeed you don't have to go in the garden. Tricky!
Thanks for the fun !

Thanks for the fun !
Sometimes its really good there's two people in your team, when one overlooks the cache, the other finds it with a proper look! Thanks for the hide.
With a tip up our sleeves from a cacher who had previously found this one we were able to make an easy find today.
It is sad to see that many cachers are obviously not reading the description and are leaving a geotrail into the garden bed
Many thanks for the hide FLIPPER&CO[^]

We have been staying in Murray Bridge for a couple of months tackling the hundreds of caches available in the area, many hidden specially for the Mega event at Easter. Some caches we felt would be better attempted after office hours so early this morning we decided to have a go at some of them.
We arrived at GZ (or one of the several that the Garmin was pretending were possibilities) soon after 07.00am and were amazed that we actually had to wait to begin our search here. There was a young lass hoisting several flags on the poles outside the Council Buildings. After she had returned inside we began our search. Definitely didn't have our geomojo today....couldn't put our hands on the cache so went away with nothng but a sad blue face
Many thanks anyway FLIPPER&CO[^]

On my Round Aussie Trip, travelling with IolantheK,from Brisbane, who flew to Perth to drive the Nullabor with me. we found your cache. I am staying with my brother here, so was wonderful to catch up. TFTC
Almost gave up on this one. .. sigh. Glad it was a quiet Sunday morning. Worth the perseverance.
Found after visiting the shops across the road.
Never got around to looking for the previous cache that was here so thought we should find this one.
Took a bit of time to find partly due to signal jumping around but mainly due to Mrs Gizmo being approached by a local muggle who noticed she was photographing the artwork and wanted to point out other locations nearby that were worthy of photographing.
After the muggle and his dog went on their way, the vampire had a more thorough look and came up trumps. Signed one of the many logs that were inside and then waited for some more muggles to move on before replacing the cache.

This was a most frustrating hunt, not because of the regular muggles which went by, but because our GPS units were extremly erratic in this location and took ages to settle. We were certainly doing the geocachers dance. After about 5 minutes, things started to settle a little and one area was being favoured more than others. We then started to search likely hides and after a minute or so, pausing to allow muggles to pass by, we located the cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Flipper&Co.
We weren't sure if this was going to be a quick find or a bit of a hunt but thankfully it was the former. TFTC Gayle & Mark.
Found after spending the day at the Murray Bridge Poultry Show. Deja Vu at the civic reception. Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO!
The road trip was on! Since we both started caching the Dak’s Emu Mob multi which ran from Melbourne to Adelaide was sitting about 1km from work taunting us (me for only 2 years but TurnerFamilyFTG for 3 years) as our closest unfound cache so we had to do a road trip. This and another multi from Melbourne to Adelaide and one from Adelaide to Melbourne where are main goals along with 100 in a day (including the big signal the frog trail) on one of the days of our quick 3 day trip. A lot of driving and “Woah stop , stop, stop here” was done.
The weather was terrible most of the time, raining, stopping, raining, stopping and really cold but it is winter.
So the car was loaded up with a heap of junk food and snacks, changes of clothes, pens, notepads, batteries, torches, etc and we set off from Melbourne at 6am. A lot of sudokus were solved in the weeks before the trip for the trail we were going to be doing as well. We were away on our biggest caching run ever.
This was trip day 2 of 3 and our challenge today was to get 100 caches. We managed 103 which was quite good considering we mucked around trying to solve some multi clues until 1pm and had only found 1 cache until then and we were still in Adelaide near the CBD.
This cache took a couple of minutes to find until I stopped looking at the wrong places obviously. Managed to sing and return in the dark just before a group of teenage muggles started walking across the car park.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

What could be better than taking Monday off, making it a long weekend, visiting Murray Bridge and bagging a couple of finds?

Took me a while but I got there in the end. Need to follow GPS and not over think it.
Missed this one during the recent OZmega, so we picked it up today. Just had to watch out for the muggle learner driver parked close by.
After we dnf's in this a couple of days ago. Heard it had been replaced do thought we better grab it! TFTC...

Found during the Oz Mega.
Out cruzing the town picking up a few caches.
Tossed this one into the mix with the Flash mob event nearby.

Spotted with relative ease, my last cache before having to leave Murray Bridge to go back to my job. I'll miss this place, and all the wonderful people I met while here. TFTC
After circling this cache all weekend on our toing and froing, finally strolled over to here after popping into Woolies to make the nice quick find. We saw other cachers leaving as we arrived, then more arriving as we left.

We are leaving Murray Bridge today, our time at OZ Mega 2014 is almost up. Before what is bound to be another cracking cooked breakfast I decided to attack a few caches.
I found this in a likely location yet it didn't seem to be hidden in the manner I would have expected. I looked around for its original location but couldn't find it. So I just rehid it the way I found it.
After signing the log, of course.

YIPPEE!!
I am at the SA MEGA and it is the last official day of the MEGA.
I am out and about findings caches. The biggest decision was where to start.
This afternoon I stayed in town and found all of those caches I had missed over the last couple of days.
A big thank you to all of the cachers that have been involved with the MEGA.
Thanks for the cache.

Another one that SanguineDragonflye found with ease. A strange use for this kind of container - still, a good find in a nice piece of Murray Bridge. Met another pair of cachers as well - definitely a sight I got used to over the weekend! Cheers
