Had a look after the nearby events but due to muggle children playing cricket in the street the look was very brief even with 4 pairs of eyes searching.
The CO needs to check on this one as there have been several DNFs so I would say it is MIA.
Had a quick look on the way back to the GeoMobile after the nearby events but no luck for us. We reckon it is gone but happy to be proven wrong!!!!!
Find number 24083
I did these caches on a night time raid with Semik.
We had a fantastic time - Thanks for the caches.

Last cache for the day on my way back home from a caching foray into the northern suburbs. Thanks for the cache MightyMidgets7!!
If that had happened to me, I would have been a goner. Finding a nano seems to be less hazardous than doing surgery on oneself. Shame about the Kittens.
TFTC. Cheers

Gotcha!
This one is just down the road a bit from where my son has fencing classes, so I had an opportunity to grab it just before collecting him.
Thanks MightMidgets7
ZZzz..
Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Only had to look in one spot for this which made me wonder if it was in the right spot ? Happy with the smiley and if it wasn't for daylight I might not have found it. Replaced where it was found but will contact CO to make sure. No sign of nosy neighbour on a work day. Thanks
Grabbed on a late night caching run to clean up some of the caches near home that had been taunting me for some time.
With quite a few recent DNF's I wasn't sure I was going to be able to find this one, but I managed to place hands on it in seconds. No sign of the nosy neighbour but I was here in the early hours of the morning. TFTC MightyMidgets7!
PS Cache only has 5 or so more spaces on the log.

Found by The Boofs TFTC ☺. My kids have got better eyesight than me to find this !@#$ nano.
We went by today, but didn't find anything. A neighbor across the street called out to us, asking whether we lost something there. Apparently he saw two other cachers recently, and has been wondering what we were doing. Didn't seem to buy our explanation.
Around 7am ish.
Been a long night cache hunting.
This one did not want to reveal itself,
despite much searching, and thinking it could
take 127 hours and a sacrifice of flesh to get results..
However the neighbour on the corner came out,
thought it was to early to be surveying things, and
after a quick explanation re caching dot com and all the
rest of the spin, was not convinced.
He seemed to think not only was I looking for money there,
but I had a good chance of finding some.
(Which sadly I didn't)
Possibly this corner is a haven for secret drug deals,
maybe the neighbour removed the tiny object (bushes were squished),
or it could be that this cat was blinded by the dawn and needs to look harder,
when the neighbour isn't around.
Might be worth a check. cheers, m

Yeah !! I remember seeing a documentary on tele about this chap and his ordeal [:o]
Not something you want to happen !!
North Adelaide suburbia didn't seem to hold many perils this morning at 7:00 am, certainly not of the rolling rock type
The nano was found in the first place I looked !! [:o]
Hmmm ?? That was easy
I quickly looked up to check I wasn't about to get clobbered by a falling piano [:o)]

Mr Tardis made a detour here on the way home from work. I spent a couple of minutes searching, until I had a better look in the obvious place and found it little blighter.
Every time you hide a nano a Dalek kills a kitten.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache MightyMidgets7.

Seen a documentary on this one, amazing what you can do when you need to survive, we survived the muggle cars zooming around here for a quick find and sign TFTC
Dropping the daughter off near by to see a movie, but not sure she'd enjoy this movie. Haven't seen the movie, but did see it on the TV show "I shouldn't be alive". Sometimes I wonder if I'll share the same fate with some of the spots I've been caching over the years.
Anyway, a nice quick find having determined what it is
- just think of the kittens next time
I also stopped and smelled the roses - nice fragrance.

Nano rant nano rant nano rant nano rant!
Nice easy find though, of course it took longer to roll the log scroll back up than it did to find it in the first place!
The story is one I already knew and still sends shivers down my spine thinking about what he had to do.

Found it nice and easy. Wow.. hard to believe that Aron cut his own arm.
Thanks MightyMidgets7 for the cache

A quick find despite being a nano (a good thing as it is 37 degrees C!). Oh, and what Freddo says about nanos.
Thanks MightyMidgets7.
Thanks MightyMidgets7.
Owl loves a cache that is exactly where she thinks it should be and that she doesn't have to climb a mountain to find. For being almost all it should be, Owl will spare you the requisite nano rant.
A very slow jog from home for Pirate Pete but luckily a quick find at GZ. An even slower jog home! TFTC MightyMidgets7!
No pen to sign with as I was on a break from work. Few muggles around but found the little treasure in no time. Thanks for the new cache in North Adelaide!
Second time around I found the silver bullet. Luckily Aron didn't use it to solve his dilemma. Thanks MightyMidgets7 for the adventure.
I was thinking of kittens. I was also thinking of Aron with the rope. Incredible story! Tricky silver one to open for some reason. Luckily I had the handy cache plyers at the ready.
Clear skies to MightyMidgets7 from TeamAstro.

Was heading out for dinner with Ismartis and we had just found another close by cache and she suggested I drive past here to get this one that she had found previously. She stayed in the car while I went and made the find...not in the first place I looked. 
Was just picking up the cache when a muggle came out and got into his car right next to GZ. [?] Don't think he had any idea of what I was doing. [?] Had to wait out another muggle walking past before I could replace it. [?]

Needed a cache for the day & decided a trip to North Adelaide would be nice. Found the cache quite quickly just before it got dark.
I remember when this event happened, what a very brave man to do what he did!!

Close to home but this one appeared while we were caching in Iceland, so 6th name in the log is fine. TFTC
Was running slightly early for a lunch in North Adelaide, so took a detour for this one. Hardly needed the GPS after reading logs and scoping google earth. Quick grab then took longer to put the log back and screw the top on properly. At last a nano I could fine easily. Thanx.
Forgot to say that I taped a late night film on this chap's story. Thought it would be a bit boring, after all not much scenery and only one actor, but it was compelling.

Woohoo! I'm no surgeon but that almost needed surgery to extract the log 
On my way to work after a meeting and saw some new caches published. *FTF* at 10.56am.

Second to find 15mins later. I found the cache Bob style. No working GPSr in the car. Bloody nanos etc. Think of the kittens.
With a specialist appointment at 1400 I was way too late for first or second.
I did get a bronze though and was able to admire the nice pink rose.
Found and signed.

Found It!
A nice little walk and a quick find. Thankfully I didn't have to cut my own arm off...
No kittens were seen at GZ but we all know why that is don't we Freddo!
