No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 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.

This cache needs to be archived, the current owners of the cache have not been on site since Sunday, 23 March 2008. Yes there is a gentleman living nearly on top of the cache and has been there for at least the last six months. We had a lovely chat with him tonight and he told us that the cache was removed when the council did a clean up of the area early this year.

He is still on campus.

Uh...not sure if this cache still here, scared off by nasty troll living in makeshift tent on site :O

ETA - Ha! Obviously we newbies should make sure we check previous logs before diving into unknown bushes! Was a fun start to the nearby event tho

Found on a night out caching...contents of cache were scattered everywhere.. however we managed to find the bits. We didn't have a container to replace but did secure the original log book, pencil, and some toys in a couple of plastic ziplock bags and put it back under the bush and covered it for a bit of safety until the container can be replaced. (sorry we didn't have a container)

Tent owner was still there, mr scoobster actually nearly FELL OVER the tent cause he didn't see it.. owner was tucked away in the tent having a nice sleep!

LOL. There is a tent within 5 metres of GZ ... but you know that already

Amelie and I gave it a go anyway, hoping the resident was out --- he wasn't . "You lost something?" was the intro. Had a very brief chat and he believes the cache is probably gone and the council did a clean up recently. He had a groan about people dumping rubbish around his home - it makes him grump (dont bring it up!). He informed me that he has lived here a while, and all things considered, it is a nice camping spot - if not the the constant traffic noise.

Can I suggest a visit from the owners please. It will be near impossible for finders to determine if this cache is still here with the resident camper. he tells me he has been here a while and I gather he likes it (ie not moving in a hurry). Perhaps the cache owners could check that it is still there and possibly could be moved just a little further away from his home.

TFTC

Dude still living here. Didnt wanna go snooping arond his house.

Cache keeper still present went with fix bane and brother but forgot to bring bribe of sorts was quickly denied by peering eyes

The camper was still there today and pointed to the location and said he didn't mind "our mob" looking for the cache near his temporary abode. There is nothing temporary about this cache as it's been here for nearly 10 years. Thanks Northern Invaders.

found on second visit to area. Infact i was told where the cache was by a person camping about 5m from GZ. NOT to worry as he now understands why people are nosing around ' HIS AREA ' and agreed to leave it for others to find. I understand this is not the ideal way to go caching. in time he will move on and all will be forgotten. TV

out night caching with my dog henry[the other half of tv caching].he becamevery upset to find aperson camping in these bushes next to GZ.will return in day light to find cache. not a good spot for young ones right now.

I have been twice, but currently someone camping at GZ. Will need to try again later.

The sign says no swimming, pretty obvious really as there is no water.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Someone's living right near GZ. Not recommended that you take small ones there.

Early Sunday morning, strolled into the bush to find a cache but found a tent, left them to a Sunday morning sleep in!!
Maybe next time ?

Nice cache, a little wildlife in suburbia Thanks

Found OK - watch the traffic tho'. TN, left a seashell.

Tn left crab. I arrived at gz before the rain poured down on my bike. Lots of cover though.

decided to do this after our grandson's 1st birthday party. this was an easy find. that is after finding a secure spot to park the car and cross over the busy road. TFTC

Lots of trinkets for kids but very busy roads.

Quick find.
Thanks.

Well hidden.TFTC

I was rapidly running out of daylight which probably contributed to my unsuccessful search here today.

Good one in a busy spot but hidden well. Took travel bug.

Came here about year ago but didn't find it back then.

This time I found it quickly.

Dropped of travel tag

good

4:53 PM Find #453
TFTF... finally! Third times a charm... or is this my fourth visit?

Wow, the biggest cache container I've found in Adelaide. Thanks for the cache

After securing parking nearby we crossed across the busy road and headed on a bee line for GZ. This meant passing through the urban scrub to allow geoP to make the find.

Took Nothing
Left Pathtag

Once gps settled - it took me straight to the cache for an easy find! TFTC

Incredibly. We didn't find that cache. Even as it was supposed to be so easy.

A nice day out ...easy find!! TFTC

Last find of the arvo, easy find. With the duck.

Accessed this far easier than i thought.... and found it quickly!!! Left yoyo tool Eagle geocoin. TFTC

After a bit of Sunday shopping, we decided to pop around the corner and try and find this cache. It turned out to be a good litle treasure trove. We took a bracelet and rubic's cube keyring and we left a pretty shell, a ring and a 'clapper'. We also swapped a travelbug for a geocoin. TFTC!

Found today during our stay in Adelaide. Dropped off a TB! TFTC!

Found in morning raid. I have never been caught up in so many spider webs . YUK.

Found quickly on a trip to the nearby Bunnings. TFTC

Found on a late night run with team honeysucker. TFTC!!

What a random little place in the burbs.. Wonder if there has ever been water here.. Will have to return another day to sign the log left the pen in the car. sigh*. Took TB's left rubiks cube and deck of cards.. Cheers.

Had to avaoid the knights who say "ni"
TFTC

A nice easy find. TFTH...SL...Took nothing, Left 3 X TB

What else do you do on the first day of the year TNLNSL TFTC

no cricket on today so a quick find it was
Found with Datruk and Farmer--brown

1030hrs

Out today with Honeysucker and Farmer-brown to complete the year caching.
FB geoteen was off across the road before the older memeber could.

TFTC

Searched around without luck.

Found today while geocaching with Honeysucker and Datruk on the last geocaching day of 2010.

Find #10.

We parked across at the SANTOS Stadium, and dashed across the road dodging incoming traffic from btoh ways. The geoteen ran across, and got it found and open before the adults could catch up. Nice to see larger containers in cities instead of micros.

TFTC

GPSr had me looking in a couple of different places but it eventually settled down and then made the find. TFTC

Found with Shellnz after a DNF a year before Sorry for taking so long to log find, finally catching up on putting my log diary online. TFTC

found it with Mr Chillipips. Glad to have found it at last, after posting a DNF a year ago on a particularly record heatwave afternoon of unsuccessful searching, and never expecting to visit Adelaide again a year later. Weather was much kinder this time and our GPS much closer to GZ so had the cache in hand in a very short time. Realised on finding the cache that we just missed e.gregory1 as we spied someone getting back to his car in the nearby parking lot on our way to the cache that we thought looked like a furtive cacher ..sorry we didn't stop him for a chat. Certainly easier this time round and we can't believe the hours we spent last time...maybe we are just more experienced, or maybe it was the heat last time.. TNLN,
TFTC
Cheers

Found today while out with Jacqui&Steve, parked at the Adjacent Sporting complex car park. After a quick read of the hint the cache was quickly found.

nice location, Regards
Jacqui&Steve

Found at 14:15 after some weekend shopping at Bunnings. A great locations for a cache. Still tucked away here safe and sound. SL. TFTC.

Simple find while on a Bunnings visit TFTC

Good area for a cache. Found it no worries.
TNLN TFTC

Found it but could of been better in the night but couldn't be helped. TFTC peace out

this ones better in day time we missed it the night before sneaky hide tftc

This is a great hide and it would better if done during the night but done it during the day. TFTC

Easy find, my new GPS works a treat, what a way to spend your lunchbreak!!!

What a quant little spot in the middle of suburbia

Found TNLN

Had a small break between arriving and departing on the Indian Pacific so went for a walk to some nearby caches.

This was the 3rd and last cache before returning to the station.

Had trouble finding the actual cache but eventuall spied it in the end.

Thanks for the cache.

After a long geo-rest, Challenge Me is back in the saddle again! [^]
Still no luck with this one on my third attempt... but I will not be deterred
Better luck next time.

Wandered over after visiting the nearby Art Gallery. The coordinates were spot on; however I wasn't. I went straight to GZ, missed the cache and then spent ages looks around all the nearby spots. Eventually returned and found the cache .. one of those days. A great spot, we could have a party in hear and no-one would know or care. SL Took TB TFTC

As the cousin would say is it a swapper and to have them in surburbia is cool cheers . TFTCSL took GC left gecko

TFTC

Ah ha!! Found the cache. I wonder if this swimmin' hole ever fills up? A strange pocket of bush in an otherwise urban wasteland. Dropped a couple of Tb's.

Found at 8.15am after dropping my 4WD off for a minor repair. Nice easy find. Lots of traffic about but all the drivers appeared to be staring straight ahead as soon as the lights changed. Took Gnome, left a bear and a frog. SL. TFTC Northern Invaders.

GeoDaughter found on a night out walking the dog TFTC. TNLN.

A brilliant day planned, all fell apart, but at least we found this, the last of the day.

Made a nice walk having a few hours before getting to the plane on a one day stay in Adelaide.
This was one of the 11 caches found

After sitting in the stands of AAMI stadium watching my beloved Crows get a thrashing it was time for a spot of night caching.
Managed to park accross the road only 60m away.
A quick stroll and search found a nice cache.
It's good to find a city cache that is not a micro.
Thanks for a good cache.

Thought the coords were spot on and whilst a little concerned about our proximity to passing muggle traffic, no one seemed to care that we were there. I drive past this spot every single day and never knew there USED to be a pond in here (no fear of swimming, it is dry now). We parked over the road, accessible from the other side of Sir Don bridge and walked to GZ.
T a moosehead eraser
L a gnome with watering can
SL TFTC.

Found on my way south after work.

An easy find walking on outskirts of town.,Very little traffic this time of morning.
Quick stop into Bunnings on way home.
TFTC

Found at 16:20, didn't get much help from the co-ordinates but past logs were enough to point me in the right direction. TFTC

Nice quick find. Found and signed. Thanks.

Did this cache while in adelaide for course got a feeling the chap that was getting in his 4 wheel drive in the car park
opposite was a geocacher was going to asked if he was doing caching but he drove of. gps was going off and on as batteries were going flat but got enough to find this cache TFTC SL good hide bring on wagga wagga . walked about 10 klms doing caching. happy caching travel safely.

Yes in it was took TB thanks Northern Invaders

Found with help of previous logs.
Left TB UNJ09E

Easy find on a lunch time walk. Took Barre Brau TB, may use it later in the day to open one

Having been given the heads up that the co-ords were slightly out I found this one rather quickly, TFTC
B

Certainly needed previous logs, especially note about being close to traffic control box to find GZ. Left two TBs-one to be collected by owner's friends to return to Germany and also a Christmas eraser. TN TFTC

Found with family and youngest geokid at side. TNLN TFTC

Found @ 4:08pm

As noted by others my GZ was about 10m out. Thanks to the tips in other logs I managed to find this one eventually. TFTC!

This was a try to get on way to airport. Alas time was short and GPS had me going back to the same spot every time and there was definately no cache where it was pointing. Was really hoping to get this one as I had a travel bug needing to get back to Germany. Had to give up and maybe return to Adelaide another day for some more Geocaching.

Took us a while to find this one. Like others before us, stay within 5m of the traffic box. Thankyou for organising the hunt. TNLNSL. Cheers.

Searched high and low with Shellnz, taking all clues and logs into account but this has us stumped. Too hot and thirsty to continue after almost an hour of looking so admit defeat. Thanks anyway for bringing us to this area.

Though we searched long and hard, neither Mr Chillipips nor I could find it, despite new coords and all the logs. Had to give up eventually as were searching in 40deg heat and needed to find a drink, having walked from the world's largest..
Unfortunately only visiting Adelaide so no second chance on this one

Found with the Lioness, TFTC

Thank goodness for previous logs that helped me in the right direction, finally found with some poking and a suspicious looking stick that looked like it was pointing at something!

Didn't get much help from the co-ordinates but recent logs were enough to point me in the right direction. TFTC

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 34° 55.841 E 138° 34.559
Distance From Old: 30.3 feet
Updating coordinates.

Seems awhile since a log appeared with the correct coordinates in.
So here's one to help the last few DNF'ers.

Finally found it! Tip: start scraping!

After a short search we decided we had bigger fish to fry.

We didnt find this one but it appears we were using the old coords. Oh well, maybe next time.
