blues clues series #1 Para Hills, South Australia, Australia
By bobo95 on 02-Aug-15. Waypoint GC60P3Y

Was in the area, and it looked like only one visit with a group of three Geocachers couldn't find this one, until it got disabled and archived, so I thought I would have a look for it also. After 15 min I gave up - perhaps it is missing after all. Cheerios.

I cannot see any information that indicates the CO has taken steps to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement.

Therefore the cache is being Archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

**Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.**

This is explained in the Help Center article [here](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56).

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Found closer to the fence TFTF

Cache has a cracked lid, letting in some water.

Got you, you little blue buggar! Had nearly given up. No teaching or scrambling required I find out too late. Good to have this off the DNF list! Lovely park!
TFTC!

Spent some time and read the previous logs which helped. TFTC

TFTC bobo95!! Nice morning for caching to start our school holidays adventures. Lovely big park. Extra co-ords helped cheers

After several failed attemps previously today was back with linda (3LG ). Co ords still took us to a likely spot. After reading a few logs we ventured closer to fence. Something stood out and after quick check cache found. Linda has put co ords on her log which may help. TFTC

Hidden Creatures souvenirs challenge begins today. Earthlight & myself targeted several multis along with numerous trads before heading into this evenings Hidden creatures event.

Co-ords take us to a bush and nothing found. Using the co-ords from past logs had us nearer.
Almost ready to give up when earthlight made the find.
Our co-ords closer to cache are: S 34° 48.442 E 138° 39.298

Quick early morning find, TFTC

Took awhile gps out by 10 plus meters

Our first try at geocatching disappointed we could not find it

Found at the second attempt.Thanks for the cache

NinjaPete and Lainy

Found it but not in GPS location, it’s off to the left a little.

Nothing. zilch.

I think the owner of this cache might need to check on it as i cant find it

Found it. Trees recently cut in park by council and it was different from location.

Arrived gz to find a Bush and one tree several others chopped out. After good search came away with DNF. Owner may need to check if still here after recent clean up

Did it

I found it

Found but did'nt write name on note book ( no pen/pencil)

Didn't sign 2

The old and the new... No OFFENCE

Took a lot of searching (in the dark), but finally found about 12m off from where the coordinate put it.

Found after reading previous logs

Have no idea what the clue actually meant,
but a widened search area soon came up with results.
Cache located, signed and replaced.
Thanks for maintaining.
TFTC bobo95

**MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE WAS MOVED BY COUNCIL HAS BEEN PUT BACK UNDER BARK AND ROCK IN ORIGINAL PLACE HAPPY CACHING **

Needs a checkup please.

Unfortunately did not find!

Uncertain of clue. Searched area well beyond 10m from waypoint. No success.

Nope.
Devastation with some of the trees cut down.
Searched amongst the rubbish under the bushes around GZ,
it's really quite messy and I wouldn't want my kids playing there.
Thanks for the challenge bobo95
will place on the watch list and return if it's found or replaced!

Oh well. I did find a new park though!

Since I had been for a 5km kayak paddle late this afternoon - evening from St Kilda for a mangroves cache FTF and another find too, it was almost 9.30pm when I caught up with Moneydork for tonight's caching run
Despite the late start for me, I was very pleased to still find 4 caches as they were ones that I have been meaning to get to for a long time..... since they show on my GPSr every time I head towards town and then back home again.... taunting me
After Moneydork dropped me back at my car, I couldn't resist find the first cache of the Blues clues series as leaving #1 unfound just didn't seem right
So today's total tally of caches for me was 7

After finding the others in this series, I just had to stop here especially since the last log was a DNF.
Wandered in and wondered who chains their dog up in their back yard[?] Not sure if the dog's barks or the rattling chain made the most noise
Made the find at 23:59 and then wandered back to the car and headed home [)]

After recent heavy rains trees have toppled and could not see there today

Reel Fine Elsewhere

Hard fish find at night

Found with vj187. A quick find thanks to the past logs. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. W read previous logs and using coordinates suggested there we were able to find this cache quickly. TFTC

After a previous dnf found it second time lucky

Found with Aliooo91 and geodog. Second time lucky, after following the hints in past logs. Tftc

Co ords a bit off for us too so after reading previous logs also followed the fence and found it easily. tftc

Took me a little while coords off a little. Much easier when i followed the fence line Tftc

Found it

First find

Found

Having previous DNFed this one,

my kind driver stopped here & took me on a guided tour.

No muggles here today, and bonus found cache.

Unfortunately this area has been used as a pit stop (yuk)

Anyway, thanks for the cache bobo95

TFTC!

After searching for a while with no luck, a peruse of the previous logs revealed that a larger search area was needed. Sure enough the snake spotted a probable piece of cammo. The Rat scurried in and the find was made some 10m from GZ. TFTC

We came we searched.
Reread the previous logs
Widened our search area.
The snake directed the Rat to the cache.
Found about 10m from GZ. TFTC

No luck today! Looked for about 10 minutes in bushes and out and couldn't find it! Bugger!

Cruised around the block, expecting a back way into this park, but couldn't find one .
Read some logs that indicated this would not be an easy find [B)], so we looked around for awhile before expanding our search area and coming up with the goods .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Bobo95

No luck today.

Searched for 10 minutes. Hope the next person finds it

Having tried to get this one once before, I returned again today and made a quick discovery.

Cheers Theshattells

Searched for 45 minutes

Iamsuzyful and I looked for about 45 minutes and couldn't find anything what so ever we looked extremely hard and moved and looked through a lot of hints and nothing found

Out with CPwanderer for some quick caches. The coordinates are still out, but thanks to some inside information at least the smilie has appeared on the map.

Well finally!!1 With dr Owl and using Hurtle's co-ordinates we eventually located it. Very pleased to get this one done!

Returned to this again .... this time with clare007 and soseofficer. After 30 minutes we still couldn't find it.

We were hoping to collect the set, with extra people and more accurate coordinates we were fairly confident that we could find this cache.
It was quickly apparent that we were either in the wrong place or the cache was AWOL.
Our first DNF for the day, will keep our eye on this one hopefully it will appear.
Thanks for the hide bobo95

After a recent failed attempt on this one I found myself in Adelaide and so I thought I would visit this as it had been replaced. Search for 30 minutes before the heat started telling on my 85 year old mother who had insisted on coming with me. My GPS was leading me to a large low bush but no cache was found. Either its buried.... the co-ords are off or..... more likely .... I'm going cache blind!!! Not happy.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

TO EVERYONE WHO THINKS IT IS NOT REPLACED I WAS THERE YESTERDAY TO REPLACE IT WITH A PROPER CONTAINER THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAD TO WAIT FOR IT TO BE REPLACED

Hey sorry people i have been back yesterday and have put a new one there so it can be done again
Happy goecaching everyone my other new ones shld be up soon

This cache has been known to be broken with glass all over the serving/receiving area of the tennis court and surrounds since the 20th of October. It should have had maintenance done before now. I suggest it would be best for all users of the park if it was archived. If the CO wants to put out any more caches than using camo'd sistema/plastic containers or ammo cans/mint tins are all more appropriate and are within the guidelines of geocaching.com Glass containers should never be used as if they are broken like this one, there is immediate possibility of injury to the public.

Needs urgent attention or archiving

Extensive search of the GZ with Andy Colombia and AussieM&M eventually yielded the broken shards of what obviously had been the cache. Very disappointed with this as this is a nice little park that does warrant an active, viable cache container. If you plan to replace this cache then use a painted systems or plastic fruit container that are in keeping with the guidelines.

Came armed with a prior finder who confirmed that the cache is missing. The shards of blue glass all over the tennis court and lawn is a demonstration as to why glass containers are not suitable cache containers. The CO might like to bring a broom to sweep us the now hazardous clues.

Found the glass jar eventually, after a PAF, about 10m from the actual listed co-ords. Not sure what 'clues' we were supposed to see here. Not a big fan of glass jars as a cache container. Perhaps read the guidelines to get a better idea on a container? Plastic is better!

Luckily I was not in a blue mood so was able to spot this one quickly between showers. No action over that fence, luckily!

Thanks to bobo95 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Took a while but found in the end. Thanks bobo95.

Owl is completely clueless.

Yey!!! Found it.. Kids first find! Very exciting

Easy find can't wait for the second one bobo95

Found.

If anyone has problems with this cache being there i have put it there for kids mainly as it has a play ground and basketball hoops sorry for seekers having that problem but im not moving it as it is a gd place for kids to play and geo at the same time have a fun geocecheing fellow geo's

TFTC nice little park that I never knew existed. Geokids love the playground and basketball hoop..

Another nice little park in the middle of suburbia! This one is in walking distance from home and I have often thought this park needs a cache! . I'm too slow off the mark obviously! Dodged the poor fallen tree and wandered around a bit, hoping I wasn’t about to set a dog off barking. Eventually spotted the clues and then the cache. TNLN SL Thanks for the cache.

A hint that makes perfect sense when you are holding the cache in your sweaty palm.

After a couple minutes looking in the wrong spot I was starting to wonder whether the council had cleaned up the cache. Then I spotted something cluey.

Thanks bobo95.

Find #1240

There were council workers in the park this morning cutting down a tree with a chain saw. They didn't take any notice of my activities as they had important work to do. The tree didn't look sick so I guess it was just it's unlucky day. I wandered for a little while until I noticed something of interest. Then I pounced and signed the log. The cache was cold this morning but the smiley warmed me up. Thanks bobo95 for a morning adventure.
