After receiving a message that this one might be missing again, I swung by today to check up on the cache. Confirmed missing again, and given the amount of broken bottles and discarded tinnies, this location is being used undesirably for a cache GZ.

Seeing this one had been replaced recently, I decided that I needed to drop by tonight. So I had my geodriver make a small detour. After a bit of hunting in the wrong spots, I started looking in better spots and the well constructed hide was soon found.

Thanks for the cache RideTheGeoWalrus. FP added.

Hi pottermad2516,

Having checked the cache, there most certainly is a logbook, and there is nothing for your log date, nor your name in it. I don't know what you found, but it wasn't the cache. In future, the appropriate log for such an event is a 'Did not find'. This will alert me that there is a problem, and also help you track what to exact revenge on. As a result, your log has been deleted.

Regards,

RideTheGeoWalrus

New cache in place, waiting to be found.

Heading past and I saw a dot pop up on my map. A detour to a nice little park. It wasn’t until after I had arrived that I noticed it was disabled. Guess I’ll have to visit another day.
 
28-Jun-18
New cache has been constructed. Awaiting painting before placement.
 
28-May-18
This one has sadly gone missing again. Construction has begun on a replacement.
 
25-Apr-18
Looked for about an hour but to no avail. Tried using hints from previous finds but no luck. Will try again - got too dark!
 
I’ve found the geocache before , but I came to have a look for it again and it’s no where to be seen...
 
07-Apr-18
Out with Getnict for the day getting the planetary points. Targeting puzzles and caches with 10+ Favs.

The hide was too good today or may be it was cache blindness
 
02-Apr-18
Looked high and low
 
23-Mar-18
Since the NM log came from someone who didn't find the cache and has zero finds in total, I'm going to take a hard pass this time.
 
10-Mar-18
Easy find but strange container tftc
 
23-Feb-18
In good condition may need new log paper added.

15 Oct 2017 was when I DNF'd this one last year... Sat 27 Jan 2018 it was finally found Big Grin. I literally parked my deadly treadly nearby GZ and walked straight up to it lol, why couldn't I do that last time ha ha. It is a nice construction and it earns a Fave point no doubt [^] I love creativity re: caches and their cunning hides [^]

SL of this one at 10:54 on 27/1/18. The cache and contents are good and dry [^] TFTC RTGW Smile

Some caches have been so well made, and placed in such a lovely place, that they are well deserving of a favourite point, without a doubt. This is one such cache.
There is so much to love about this cache. It's not quite the type I was expecting though. I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for, so I looked around, under and over, until I saw something which caught my eye. I thought, "surely not", but sure enough, there it was!!!
I guess I was so excited and intrigued, that I didn't notice a young chap had observed my behaviour, but didn't seem too phased. I signed the almost full log, and I waited for him to leave, before placing back, and then returned to my geocar.
I wouldn't have really known about this park, if you hadn't placed a cache here, so thanks for bringing me to a delightful park, I love those dog sculptures. I had two dogs once, may they RIP Sad
Arrrooooooo!!!!

Picnic in the park. Geokids enjoyed howling with the wolves.

F(H)ound It! #2294 - @ 3:45 PM

Me and the Ridgeo-pup are visiting Adelaide for a couple of days. Only a few local caches found as I have spent most of my time logging after the ALEX17 Mega.
This afternoon I went for a walk with my muggle friend, who is a little jet-lagged himself. We loved this one. The RP is quite a fan of sculptures, especially those depicting other canines. The hide was great too, very nicely constructed. Some council-men arrived to remove graffiti but I'm sure they will not disturb the cache as it is so well concealed! Thanks for the cache RideTheGeoWalrus

03-Apr-17
Finally getting around to checking caches after an OS trip. Can confirm as per previous notes that the cache is gone. Will put together a replacement when I get back from Oz Mega at Alice Springs.
 
16-Jan-17
No luck, then the previous logs state it's not here, too.
Please, cache check
 
03-Jan-17
Looks like this cache has been muggled
 
We often come to this park regularly and almost every time, I come and check on the cache, but today it's not here. Looked every and can't find it Sad
 
23-Oct-16
Very nice cache.
Blends in well, even though it is plain sight. Would be near impossible to find if yiu did not know what yiu were looking for.

 
04-Sep-16
Finally!! That was tricky!!
 
27-Aug-16
I searched all over and came out smelling like rosemary, I ended up using the phone a friend option, and as I dialed I spotted something that I did not see before and made the find. Was still glad to have a chat to PAF. Nice one, well done, and a great little park for a cache!
 
30-Jul-16
Loved this one so cool. Brilliant hide, now added to my favs. TFTC. Had fun having photos taken with hevwalker with the howling wolves. Yay got my 10+ souvenir for Mission GC.
 
30-Jul-16
Had fun finding this one with scramping...especially the photo session with the wolves...camera on timer so running back & forward from where it was set up on the table...the cache was a brilliant hide...another favourite point added...TFTC RideTheGeoWalrus

Swung by tonight and placed a fresh log sheet in the cache.

What a lovely little park. On approach I could see part of the park was fenced off for re-paving. Thankfully the GZ was still accessible.

After a few minutes searching I found the cleverly crafted hide. It is definitely worth a blue ribbon from me.

Thanks for the cache.

Today we had to travel to the other side of town to do some business, so of course we couldn't resist the chance to do a few caches out there where we don't normally get to go to find them. We found the Howling Wolves and were surprised that there was no plaque there to explain them. They are great!!!!! Sure enough there was a muggle mum and child at the playground but they did not take any notice of us. This gave us the opportunity to find the cache unnoticed so after a bit of a Geocache Walk we soon found the well hidden cache which I am sure should be safe in its hiding spot. TFTC - Oh and here's a Fav Point too.
 
14-Mar-16
Nice little spot that is clearly popular with muggles! Loved the dogs and found the cache without too much trouble. Nice hide
 
14-Feb-16
Finally no muggles when I was going past so stopped to get this one. Great container!! Well done. Fav from me.

Thanks RideTheGeoWalrus for the cache Smile

05-Feb-16
I was out & about with JJ52 tonight to look for some caches that had been nominated for awards.

I loved the cool wolf sculptures and the nice job on the cache too!

A favourite for me, TFTC RTGW! [^]
 
05-Feb-16
Ismartis and I were out on a Friday night targeting some of the caches we haven't done that have been nominated for awards. Big Grin
We had just finished our dinner and this was next on our list. It was dark now so we were able to search under cover of darkness with no muggles to bother us. Big Grin
Looked at everything where the GPSr was pointing and then noticed something just a little out of the ordinary...cool container. Cool
Thanks for the cache RideTheGeoWalrus, another favourite. Big Grin
 
26-Jan-16
With max stealth to avoid the remnants of the Australia Day cricket match, we hunted around until we spotted something that looked a little odd. Certainly a very well constructed cache and so a fav point coming from the pirates. We added a blank page as the original log is now full. TFTC RTGW! Smile
 
05-Jan-16
No muggles in the park today; and after puzzling about it and looking under benches and in bushes we finally spotted it. Quickly signed and then put back where it comes from. Thanks for the cache!
 
04-Jan-16
Very smart cool hide we were stuped for a lottle while
 
18-Dec-15
Found this one after I finished a job in local area. Temperature is above 40 degrees, which keeps muggles indoor.

Interesting howling wolves.

Cache was easy to find. Nice hide! One of the cache in my recommended list.

Pencil and log book is outside the container, but in good condition.

Thanks for the cache, RideTheGeoWalrus.

12-Nov-15
Another sneaky well made hide. We must have walked past it so many times although our GPS took us some 5 meters away. TFTC and a fav from us.
 
12-Nov-15
This one had us searching about 5mtrs away.
We probably walked past it a few times.
Loved the sculptures in this pretty little park. tftc
 
03-Nov-15
Found it. Clever thinking! Thanks

Haha that's well done Very Happy took a little while but founnddd it Smile TFTC

Out with Andy and CP and this was our favourite cache of the day although out of 4 caches, I gave away 3 favourite points.... Oh dear. Loved the work on this hide, loved the statues. CP really loved one that reminded him of his geopet. A big favourite from Aussie Mary.
 
23-Oct-15
What a great hide!!! Very impressive!!! Found with the considerable help of AussieM&M and Andy Colombia ..... a favourite!!
 
12-Oct-15
Tcfc very creative tootook a while but we found it

Déjà vu on this one Red Face.
Think it's the third time we've been here to find a cache [8].
This one looks good and should last awhile Smile. TNLNSL.
Thanks RideTheGeoWalrus.
 
12-Sep-15
Very creative hiding place. TFTC

The hiding spot was pointed by a fellow cacher. Really nice camo, just blends in nicely. A bit of persistence was required to retrieve the cache. If I could I would post you its location.
 
01-Sep-15
Went out for a little caching this evening. Found this one. Really nice cache. Thanks!
 
18-Aug-15
A lovely little hide and nice construction. This one had me looking around a little (like I had before at this locus). However I sensed something different and I was correct. I didn't howl, but almost! [^][^]

Thanks to RideTheGeoWalrus and clear skies from TeamAstro.
 
17-Aug-15
Good camouflage!

Great find as part of our weekend away in Clare hitting the local trails.
Lovely location.
What a Rattler of a day.
Nice to do some caches that areb't part of the trail Smile

Mr Tardis and Mr Scoobster were heading for the International Geocaching day event in Salisbury, and we stopped here on the way.

The funny thing is I've been to this park before to find the previous cache that used to be here, but never noticed the howling wolves before. Today I walked right past them and also found the nicely built cache after a short search. A favourite for your routing skills.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache RideTheGeoWalrus.
 
15-Aug-15
Found on way to event
Tftc.
 
09-Aug-15
Quick find on second attempt.

First attempt was in the dark without a torch. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it.

That's find number 440!

Thanks for the cache Smile
 
30-Jul-15
Actually a quicker find today than when I was looking for the previous cache here. Still, this one deserves a fav point. Thanks RideTheGeoWalrus.
 
19-Jul-15
Was out with my muggle friend Nell she found her first cache Smile cool cache had to wiggle and push .... Then it was open sesame ... Signed and replaced. Awesome camo, great lil park.
 
18-Jul-15
I tried to find the previous cache in this place with no luck.
So I remembered the wolf pack Smile
Fingers crossed that I would have a bit more luck this time around.

I poked around a few likely spots .... mmmm !! Lavender Razz
Smells nice, but not a nice place to hide a cache Wink
And after a few minutes of cacheless poking, I turned me attention elsewhere.

Not much later I spied something 'odd'.
Odd to a geocacher, but obviously not odd to muggles [^]

Congrats !! GW's, that is one of the bestest bits of camo I've seen for a while [^]

TFTC .... fave dance time Big Grin

As we were heading to GZ we were sure that we had been here before. Sure enough we have a year and a half ago almost to the day. We were newbie cachers back then the cache we found here was only our 9th find, aahh the memories, L has really grown since we were last here as the photo shows. It was a fairly average hide previously at this site nothing like the one here now, a great hide and another favourite point coming your way Smile

Suscoe was out and about caching in the very good company of the Random Walkers this morning.
Another sunny day in Adelaide and we could put up with the chilly start to find a few more caches.
We continued our walk up from the river and arrived here to see some fantastic sculptures.
The cache was soon found and the log signed.
Thanks to RideTheGeoWalrus for placing this clever cache here.
 
Found almost a month ago, forgot to log it. As I recall, it was a cold day and it took a while to make the find. It was actually my vacation cacher bestie who spotted this tricky hide. Nice camo. TFTC.
 
22-Jun-15
Headed down to pick up muggle partner from his mother's while also picking up eldest son's number plates from the towing yard on the way (after he wrote off his car last week) and drop them into him so he can cancel the rego.
Decided to grab a couple of caches on the way as I was in this area and they were showing up on the GPSr.

I'd been leaving this cache for the 15 years of geocaching challenge in the hope that it would have 10 favourite points by now but even though it doesn't have 10 yet (only 9), I figured I'd better come and see what the wolves were howling about Wink
Wandered in and thanks to darned accurate coords, I had the hide in my hands within a minute.
Very clever [^] Cool
If this hide was just aged a bit more, it would probably rarely get found!

Last cache for the JLWE 2015 trip, just before I had to get to the airport heading to Sydney. CO watched me look in various places as my ipad had me going in all sorts of directions.
Looked around and the winds told me not to step on things that live. So I turned around heading back to the car and spotted something different from the others nearby! Aha! Gotcha! Nice camo! FP awarded!
TFTC and everything else before this cache! You're a gem, cache owner!

Very creative Smile

Snuck in after dark on the night of a full moon.
Dodging the watching beasts, expecting a sneaky hide, I went straight to it.
Good coords had me right on the spot. Great hide for an open place Cool

I could win an award for most caches found but not logged online. Please forgive this very generic log. But you see, its SAGA nomination/voting season and my votes won't count if I don't log my 2015 finds... If I admired your cache you'll get a favourite point from me and I'll likely come back and edit this log once I've caught up. If this generic log makes you unhappy - delete it. Life's too short to worry over it, I had fun finding your cache either way. Smile Cheers!

I found this cache whilst night caching with SEMIK.
We had a great time - TFTC. Big Grin

Enjoyed a visit to a nice park, admired the interesting sculptures and fossicked about until the penny belatedly dropped. Doesn't get much better than that! Thanks for the cleverly crafted cache RideTheGeoWalrus!
 
17-May-15
out this way for a family function and took the chance to pick up a cache on a lovely afternoon. A great hide, this is the sort of hide I love for a cache, just the gloss gave it away. Cheers. MODU.

Mrs3LG had an appointment so while i waited i headed of to do some ingressing, arrived here and saw there was also a cache, what a bonus : ) as i ingressed i checked out GZ each time i went pass and soon spotted something that needed a bit of further investigation, yeap that it : ) TFTC

Stopped by for 'just one more' on way home.
Certainly better cammo'd than previous 'box under a bush' here! Smile Well done. Took a few minutes to spot the odd one out. Certainly is a lot of windows around this nice park.

Thanks
