Cache will be removed by the end of March, thank you to all that have came out and enjoyed the area.
An afternoon of geocaching with BratKat finding a few caches and enjoying a lovely Saturday afternoon and evening.
Thanks to Rod81w from mogni

Mogni magic struck again; while I was feeling the heat she dove on in, looking in each cranny. Muggles were very much not interested in us
Plenty of muggles around but bear and moose enjoyed exploring the rocks while Mumma found the cache. Bunny helped put the cache back safe & sound. Nice breezy day to be out caching the area
Took a few minutes of hunting around to find this one, which was well hidden. I found it by touch rather than sight, but a great little hiding spot! Happy to have in hand. Signed log just before the sun set. Thanks Rod81w
After a rainy morning suddenly a bit of sunshine, yes found it! Great spot!
Thanks for the cache!

Luckily had my partner with me today, he's a good little monkey and is able to get into the hard to reach places. He helped me find this one on a lovely day out caching. TFTC
After having a massage and needing to write in the log of a previously found cache but didnt have a pen with me, decided to try find this one as there weren't many people around today. Had a bit of a look around then suddenly spotted something out of the corner of my eye. Great spot and very clever. TFTC.
Had a few options here - upper or lower walk, left side or right [?].
Eventually found, made easier by the paint wearing off the container .
As Astro said; 'perfect fit [^].' TNLNSL.
Thanks for one more Rod81w.

Wouldn't like to try to find this one on a busy day, luckily there was no one about today. TFTC.

This one took me longer than it should. Cache found in the last place I looked. It had to be where it had to be. Perfect fit.

We found ourselves in Adelaide after attending the awesome Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs.
I actually used to live in Hallett Cove when I was 12, and as such this was our go to beach. We were in the area after shopping at Colonnades so I decided to pop down and check out the beach. I actually found this one in the very first spot I looked, such a nice change from normal!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, and the nice wander down Beach Rd.
TFTC Rod81w.
Rod81w, I found your cache Boardwalk on 22/4/17.
This is my find #3360 and find #1 today.

Out grabbing a few smiley's.
Very clever hide. We were lucky that today was nice weather for a walk but not nice enough for many to want to be at the beach.

Find #754

A quick find whilst enjoying a walk along the boardwalk and beyond.
A well hidden cache soon found and signed.

Found it thanks to the owner, Rod! It's really well hidden and is a great challenge - which we failed miserably! Thanks Rod - great meeting you!
I was on a special tour today seeking out some of the more difficult to find southern caches with a great group of cachers. A lot of fun was had chasing elephants, lifting lots of rocks, cursing rocks , looking for micros, attending a lunch event and we even saw Superman on our travels .
We had a lot of hunters looking for this one and it turned out to be another one sniffed out by Hevwalker!
TFTC rod81w!

Out & about with a group of enthusiastic cachers after today's event...with GPS in hand & the caching gods in my favour, I was lucky enough to locate this clever hide...Thanks for the cache Rod81w...good job
In a break from rock-shifting, a mass attack was made on a boardwalk, with Hevwalker again proving her worth as a master cacher.
Out with a small group of searchers today with the aim of seeking a few of the challenging to find micros down south and any others along our path, having visited this one once before but it was muggle city, not so today and with many searchers it was soon in hand TFTC Rod81w
In town for the weekend to attend a couple of events on Saturday and Sunday...and to do a few caches as well! There was a group assault organised for some of the "Harder" caches in town. The group congregated at this one and after a short search, Heather had the cache in hand. Stunning views from along here. TFTC

Found It!
The mother and her child that were sitting at GZ seemed a bit confused when 10 people showed up and started looking all over the boardwalk! Soon hevwalker spotted the cache! Some wrestling was done for Geosportz and the attached photo was taken...

A group find with locus cache, Laighside Legends, froghoppin, Ismartis, SA Sewer Rats and others during a day of caching in the southern suburbs. This one had beaten me once before, so the CO offered to give me a hand with it next time I was at Christies Beach. The sheer weight of number prevailed here though, and we found it after just a few minutes. TNLNSL
Thanks for the cache on my favourite Adelaide beach. Stunning and definitely underrated.

Three times in one day !
First - just too many muggles.
Second - this one muggle had to quiz me on what sort of insect I was looking for in the rocks and under the boardwalk.
Aaaaarrrgghh.
Third - the Rocky event group turned up, and one of them found it right where I'd just looked - almost - just one space along!!!!
YAY - I can stop singing "Under the Boardwalk" now....

Out for the day with a few geocachers who like me, all had rocks in their heads
Lunch was an event, so by day's end I had 1 event attended , 2 DNFs and 20 found caches for 20 cool smilies
My son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren also attended the event [:X]
Throughout the day, we geocachers saw an elephant , superman and a geocacher (me ) sitting on a cache
With so many of us looking, it wasn't long before 'found it' was called
Seems there is a little spot, just there, where this cache hides but it didn't elude hevwalker

After being the first to arrive at the previous cache location, we were last to arrive at this one. The hunt was well under way when we arrived. Not long after the sound of "Got it" was heard and the cache was retrieved from o good hide location. Then a tussle started between Mrs y'stassie and Laighside Legends which was captured and had been added to this log. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks rod81w for the cache.
Many thanks to the previous finder for not replacing the cache in the correct spot and just placing it on top of the sand. Cache has been placed back in its original position.
I really must invest in a proper GPS device. My iPhone had me amongst the rocks, then under the Boardwalk, and then back in the rocks. I've read the activity log, and knew this was going to be a tricky one, but with a GZ of 10m+ and frequent muggle activity I wasn't able to zoom in on this one.
Thanks for the hunt. Will come back another time with better technology.

After spending a long time last time getting nowhere, this time just walked to GZ and "oh, there for sure" and the cache was in my hot little hands in next to no time. Go figure...Thanks rod81w.
After a yummy breakfast at the new Deja Vu Café across the road where we had been sitting on the deck admiring the beautiful view of the beach we wandered across to find this one. Various levels had us confused for a moment however once we circled in on Zero at GZ we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
4 sets of eyes hunting high and low but to no avail. Few muggles about prevented belly crawl hunting. I will be back......
Found this while out hunting for a FTF nearby with Geoson Goldflow and the CO.. nice easy find and now heading back to find that elusive Southern Calamari. Thanks Rod81 for placing and maintaining this cache . cheers Tomboy 711
Woop woop.. Finally yes it's a smiley, after many many times a trying I found it yay.. Lots of scratches broken nails, muggle waiting and scratches knees I found the little critter Ohhh I must say rod81w nice little hide you got there tftc
Ok so I've tried this one twice, thrice and still no findeth for me, maybe I'm over thinking, maybe the gps jumping with the waves has me off balance clambering on rocks, ducking under, walking over and around and around.. Gonna hit this one up at night when I come back with a torch.. Will be over the moon if I find this one haha outsmarted me for sure hehe
Nice quiet day down here today. Hardly a person on sight. Good thing I have small hands as I was able to reach in and grab the shiney. TFTC.
Found on second attempt
Was with Sir_Spectre who signed log with me because his pen ran out when he found it

Harry dad and smeegle found it. Tricky one but got it. Couldn't it cos of no pen but thanks
Found it when took daughter down beach, log not signed due to pen out of ink. Can see why peps over look it, good spot
We were very happy to find this one, don't think we would have seen it from above. TFTF
Spent ages with the Elf- felt sure we had spotted a nimble fingers spot- but alas nothing there
Let the daughter loose with the gps and gradually found it, having small fingers helped her with the extraction
Too good for us today , clambered and pulled apart a lot of the fixings , nothing thanks for the hunt
Too well concealed for us.
Groped around a bit and twisted and turned to get a better view but came up empty handed. Checked for a hint and then just gave up.

Out with CPWANDERER and Aussie M&M [^]
We had finally made it to the coast via Macclesfield and Morphett Vale.
We wondered if we had bitten off more than we could chew, and plenty of muggles at the beach on a hot day looking at us curiously
Mrs M's eagle eyes and nifty fingers, (plus a handy tool) had us spying a shiny object with great relief [^]
The location was a delightful sight along with finding the cache and the cool change.
Thanks for the sneaky hide rod81w

If I had been by myself I wouldn't have tried this but if there are a few of you, then muggles have a tendency to ignore you. Clambering on rocks is fun no matter what your age and I do not think anyone except CP was bothered by me ducking under the boardwalk and not reappearing. This was a hard find, Aussie Mary had an idea, checked and her patience paid off. The cache was hard to get out, a tool was used and all was good. TFTC, a true challenge. Glad we got it on our first attempt.
Finally can claim a smiley for this one. Managed to get it done after checking out from the Christies caravan park and then finding an accommodating resident who allowed us to park across her driverway entrance. A well hidden cache luckily I managed to get my fingers to it to do the extraction. Thanks to rod81w for placing this cache and for the hints . Fav point alloc
Checked on cache 2 days ago and had crept from the original position by about 4 mtrs, has been rightfully returned to roughly it's original location. Happy hunting
