I'm not the CO but I will drive over from Melbourne near the end of July to replace the cache with a suitable sized container, log, pen/pencil etc. but I can't maintain it. Your thoughts please?

Looks like this one needs reviewer attention, last found 14/3/17, maintenance request 23/4/17 with a string of DNF's including a previous finder
Another DNF to add to the string. Found the clever hide/s, unfortunately nobody home
This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.
Seriously, it's gone. I've been here to place TBs several times and know exactly where the cache should be. This morning under cover of darkness I arrived with two larger than usual TBs that I brought across from Vic toria. I found the cache was gone. *grrr*. Now I have only a few hours to find a cache big enough to fit these big TBs.
On a relatively quiet muggle free day we decided for a look for this one but despite our efforts we did not spot it today, either a case of cache blindness or it has disappared will watch and have a go another day till then TFTC
A morning in the city picking footy tickets had given us the opportunity to locate this cache.
caching with The X-Trailers.
Our phone wanted us at the other end towards the garden bed.
After a more thorough search cache was located.

A trip on the bus into the city today with Earthlight

After doing this we headed off for a walk along the Torrens and pick up a few caches along the way GPS had us in the wrong direction
Widened our search and we located the cache
Cache and contents all good

We spend the whole day at Adelaide Zoo and visited this cache as we walked by the river towards our hotel. I dropped in a TB from Finland and took one with me. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland! W/Katiora.
Found on a holiday trip in beautiful Adelaide and dropped our travel bug IGELZ COMING HOME FROM AUSTRALIA - let him start his long journey! TFTC!

We are two winter weary travelers from snowy Maine, USA, seeking warmth and relaxation in Oz. Ane we are finding it! Just flew in from Alice Springs to join the Indian Pacific train to Perth this evening, and are awaiting a fine meal at Jolley's before boarding the train. Thanks for providing us a little diversion.
Not one to do on a very hot day but enjoyed the cheeky hide. Thanks for the fun.

With a few hours to kill while the Geo-spawn rocks out at a concert, Beaker and myself had time to do some urban caching. Nice hide! Thanks
Found by Geosister whilst in the area. Only one of 3 trackables was actually in the cache. tftc.
Found while enjoying a nice dinner, close by in the park. Had me stumped originally as i didnt know how to get it out, but on closer inspection i found a way. Thanks for the hide.
The olde push bike sure came in handy for this cache find
I soon saw the cache in it's hiding place,
and Yep !! ... it would not come out !!
Option two tried,
and I soon had this giant of an urban cache sitting on the back of the bike,
while I signed the parchment

I'm spending the day in the City with my daughter because she wants to buy some summer stuff - the stuff that we get at home in Germany obviously aren't special enough. Whilst we are here I found a couple of csches and this was one of them. I left a TB.

Great to find a large cache this close to the city. GPS was off but that did not stop us. Took some trackables.
Boxing Day and no interest in shopping. After visiting the SA museum we had lunch and grabbed a couple of geocaches. After 20 minutes of looking in the wrong direction it finally dawned on me and the cache was quickly found. This was a great hide. Easy and yet tricky! In your face! Gets a favourite point. Picked up all of the TBs and dropped off 4 from Canada. Almost at the end of our 4000km road trip in Australia. Hello from Calgary, Canada. TFTC.
Doing our Christmas day wander around Adelaide and found this marvellous building with a very clever cache in it. We took 4 x TB's and L 4 x TB.s. SL TFTC
A nice way find after an awesome meal at a near by establishment TFTC 20/12/2016 11:17 pm Find #1704

Thanks to the direction of some previous finders I was able to quickly grab this one before we went off in search of another cache nearby. Great to see a cache this big in the city, sadly no trackables in their to swap with, so just a visit today.
Thanks for the hint!! Took us a bit to work out what it meant but we got there found be geoteen and geomum. Took pin left ropeman TFTC

Two Norwegian travellers on vacation/geocaching in Australia. Travelling by car from Brisbane to Adelaide with stops in interesting and not so interesting places. Started with the Sunshine Coast to warm us up and since then when travelling to the south and west the weather have not been so good as we hoped. Lots of wind and rain with only a few sunny days in between. We have now travelled through the east and south of OZ for more than 6 weeks. Yesterday we arrived Adelaide after 5000 kms on the road. We have visited the outbacks (nearly) , the Great Ocean Road, the agricultural areas, the apple growing regions and at the end the wine regions, like Coonawarra with their good sparkling Chiraz, then McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and ended up in Clare where we enjoyed their good Rieslings.
Now we are relaxing in Adelaide before starting a new adventure to Tasmania on monday.
Sunday in Adelaide,the streets are quiet and we will visit some historical sites and log some caches.
Huge! Great!
Favorite!
Tb out.

Clever cache Also left a trackable which I brought with me from Upper Hutt, Wellington NZ!
Following a rare night out for the two tallest pirates, we discovered some relatively new caches that we'd not yet ticked off. We quickly found the right spot here but were initially not sure how to fit the very large square peg through the very small round hole. Then it clicked. A fav from us! TFTC WorstCacheScenario!
I've been inside this building. I was on a school excursion here in the late 1970's and one of my classmates kicked a ball into a tree. We went into the building to borrow a ladder to fetch the ball. These days I guess there would be OH&S issues with kids using a ladder to climb a tree... Thanks for the cache, and well done for hiding a regular.
Cal and I were in the city, so thought we'd stop here as we could get a great park. GPSr had us a few metres off, but thankfully with it being a nice large cache, it was a quick find
Have attended many events on the Parade Ground, but have never been inside the building. I must try and do that one day. I think the most fascinating event was watching Bobcats perform ballet on the Parade Ground.
There used to be a train line too that ran through here (back in the 1800s), but I'm not sure whether that was underground, or where the slope is. I'm sure everyone who grew up as a kid in Adelaide would've rolled down the slope.

Did not think of this as a hide! Interesting location , very nice stop on the way to the river. No muggles around. Tftc.
I did some maintenance on this cache on 27 September after the last person found it, put in a new bag and dried things out.
Quick find while walking from one morning meeting to the next. Sorry to see the GeoCoin listed as in the cache has been taken - only the plastic sleeve remains. TFTC.
Spotted a likely cache fairly quickly, though retrieving it took a bit more time and patience. Luckily there was a pencil to sign the log book, as it was a rare moment that Ronso did not have a pen! Sadly no TB/geo-coin was seen... although the small plastic sleeve for it was still in the cache. TFTC WorstCacheScenario.
Found it, but couldn't sign the soggy log. Looks like the last week of rain hasn't helped here. TFTC
It's SO cool to find large caches in the CBD and this one is a nice daring hide indeed. (please accept a Fave point for this particular hide and cache size ) The cache was an easy find but required extreme stealth as I extracted it. It IS where the rain is headed and it looks like Thursday (8 Sept) afternoon's Storms have given it a run for it's money [B)]. The cache had about 3 inches of water in it. I took it away from GZ for a bit and cleaned it all out and dried off what I could, Large Ikea zip-lock bag has a split in it though [:o] The log book miraculously only got a tiny bit damp on one edge, so I provided a smaller zip-lock bag for that so that the next heavy rain won't 'give it a hiding' SL at 14:45 on Sun 11 Sept 2016. The re-hide was a cinch with no Muggles around [^] TNLN TFTC WorstCacheScenario
Tftc nice hide. GCOIN wasnt there. Must have been picked up by previous cacher
Found with the Brood General on a lunchtime caching expedition - nice spring day of 25 degrees - an ideal caching day! Found and signed log. Nice sized container for being in the city too. TFTC
In company with 7 yr old grandson found this one on a quiet Saturday in Adelaide. Left Geocoin ERGRZ9 there to continue its journey through Australia and took a bangle that our Grandson wore with freat achievement for the rest of the day. TFTC
Clue lead to a quick find. Strange day in the city, bright but freezing cold.
The riverbank is really starting to look nice.

Headed into the city with 2 things in mind. Firstly to clean up the few remaining available traditions in the CBD. Then to make it to Freddo's event in the parklands.
This was found as part of the first aim.
Thanks for the cache WorstCacheScenario

As it was cold and wet and there were no nearby activities taking place today, this one was a quick park and grab after work. TFTC. 9/08/2016, 4:26 PM Find #2543
Great hiding place, had to think about how to get it out, loads of ants. Left a travel bug. TFTC
Muggle Kyle pointed it out to me while we were walking towards GZ. Great little hide but I retrieved it the hard way. TFTC.
Felt a bit dodgy... There were some people tidying the grounds... Had to be sneaky...
Tricky hideout!

forced annual leave day means I got to catch up with a old friend who is currently going back to uni. I haven't been here since I was in army reserves, I miss the tax free pay but not the parade drill. cache dry.
Very nice to find a container in this size.
Thank you for the cache, Jobsti.

GPS led me to something that wouldn't budge so widened the search to places that could hold a cache that size and found it in the second place I looked. Thanx
Thanks for the cache, WorstCacheScenario. SL TN Left 2 bangles and 1 dinosaur toy. I also placed 3 TBs, namely: Monkey, Aussie Thong Kangaroo, and The Surf Coast Event 2016. There were no TBs in this cache when I found it.
Awesome cache to get me on a night time adventure out of hotel on a work trip. This wander reminded me why Adelaide is so lovely a place to visit. Tftc
