Saw there was a find for this cache yesterday so came back to try my luck again.
No luck.
I am convinced this cache has gone on an adventure.

Has been pushed in too far to get out....

Edit: Returned 19/06/20 used stick to get out what thought was cache...it was rubbish so DNF and rubbish cleaned out of inside of pole. Is cache missing? Not sure where else it could be (but kind of a noob so might be blind too!)
 
22-May-20
Good find
 
21-May-20
Can't imagine it being a hard find, so either it's been taken or I'm blind.
The absolute obvious place it would be (well I thought) it definitely wasn't there.
I'll come back again

Today with COVID-19 requirements still in effect (but starting to be relaxed), I ventured out to the west this evening after work, and headed to the Glenelg area. This cache needed some effort to retrieve, but otherwise didn't take long to find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks light venturers for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Cache #2145. First find in May 2019.

Today I had a conference to attend in Morphettville. After the conference, I found some caches nearby. Tried 4 and found 3.

This was a quick found. The container was been placed in the wrong direction. After signing the log, I put it back in the right way.

Thanks for the "Shortcut to the Girlfriends" cache series, light venturers.

As we walked towards GZ we saw a couple of interesting spots and we were lucky to locate the well hidden cache in the first place we looked. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks light venturers for the cache.
 
30-Mar-19
Thanks light venturers. I see I had four options and it had to be the last I looked in. It’s that kind of day. Good fun. Good hide. Say hi to Helena for me
 
04-Mar-19
Visiting Adelaide once again and a caching catch up with Brisal5 and Firesafe. We checked all the places and could not see it. Torch on from the phone and I spotted it deep inside. Off to the car for some tools and after two goes was able to extract it. Replaced so its easier for the next finder. TFTC
 
04-Mar-19
Nurseyjulie was in town once again for the motor sport event over the weekend. Once again she had a plane to catch later in the day but a whole day to go and find a few more hidden boxes. Razz So off we went and made our way to the beach for a go at the Kids Trail. It's for kids, surely experienced geocachers should be able to find them.Big Grin Yeah Right. [B)] Of the seven left we could only manage four and three DNF's. Firesafe had joined us so we headed to Hallett cove for a walk and hopefully better success! [8)] After mixed success there he left us and we cached our way to the airport and at last a DNF free run of finds. [:o)]

Oh dear. We could see it but the last finder had put it back in backwards the extraction aid facing inwards. Twisted back tot he car for some extraction devices and Nurseyjulie did a fine act of retrieving it. Smile Back the correct way should make it easier for the next finder. Wink

**Thanks light venturers for this cache. ** Big Grin
