Muggle Central in Moana Moana, South Australia, Australia
By ThielFinders on 29-Jul-20. Waypoint GC8XGFG

Found this cache after a fair bit of looking while on a walk with mum yesterday. But as we didnt plan it I had not brought a pen, back today to finish the job off. Nice little hide. Tftc!!

A wonderful sunset today! TFTC! A bit of height would help.

A park and grab as I start to head north again after a CITO at Sellicks Hill. The cache was in the first place I looked, but only after returning to it for a third time after checking all the other spots too. Quite a few dog walkers out this morning, but not really the weather for other beach activities.Thanks for this cache ThielFinders.

Evil nano found. Thanks for the cache

Good find

Jesus that is evil, looked looked like a screw and it was dark so I had to use flashlight on my phone, TFTC

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Aldinga for a few days and ranging from there to grab some finds. After scouring the roof for a good ten minutes we were about to log a dnf. Then we decided to check the ground and there it was. Thanks for the hide LNCU

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. We're staying in Willunga for a few days, hunting down some nearby caches. Thanks to the COs who have placed caches along our route.Just as we decided that it had gone, there it was. Thanks for the cache. LNCU

Quick find by M in the dark.SL, TFTC. ??

Last one found on a day out with friends

Out for a day of caching with Mrs Mellison and Paulf76. We love this area and are having an excellent day. Great hideTFTC

Last cache of the day. Great little one, lucky we had tall people. TFTC

Trying to end May on a high. Mr Suelee made short work of this nano . Log signed and nano replaced Tftc

Left home early, picked LB up and headed south for a day of caching before going to a southern CITO.Naturally camoed over time makes this little fellow blend right in Third time lucky for LB here today, must be the company you keep TFTC ThielFindersKeep smiling

Out and about on the way to a CITO with Jolly0, caching as we go.We found your cache today.Jolly0 put her hands on it and I finally get a TFTC TheilFinders

Cache all in place and ready to be found. Not stuck. Cache on!

Cache has rusted in place. Unable to retrieve to sign log.

Nailed it. Took me longer than I should have. Being a nano a had a fair hunch I knew what I was looking for. Sussex it out during the arvo and came back later at night when less muggles were around. Man that thing was jammed in there!!! Took a fair bit of grunt to get it out as it appears to almost have rusted to its hiding place. Got it in the end and have replaced as found. TFTC

Oops, i was checking my map and noticed I had forgotten to log a find on this one. I found it with sir_spectre who has a height advantage over me.Thanks

Looked with friend but couldnt find it

Found it! Was about to give up on this one but spotted it at the last second! #400 TFTC!

Found while passing through the area. A quick find with nobody around the GZ on a wet and windy day. TFTH

Looked for a while then found it

We DNF'd this a couple of months ago, and was in the area again today visiting a friend nearby.

We wandered over for a look before lunch, and as we were casually chatting, I looked up and spotted the little blighter without even trying.

Funny how a thorough search was unsuccessful, but a casual glance got the biscuits!

TFTC

Checked on this one. Definitely still here ready to be found. Cache on!

No luck unfortunately
I've read the logs and thoroughly searched the structure. I gloved up... then groped and poked in all the hidey bits but still couldn't find the evil hide.
No in plain sight cache to be sighted.

All caches are good caches... except the ones that are DNF's

Found with Mogni. Another day down in this streak souvenir event. Third visit here and the first time the cache has been here. quick find this time. Lucky for us the muggles were at the other shelter.

By this time of the trip, we had lost the company of Micaparamedic as he had commitments but Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 and myself were making our way back to Victoria.This was not one that we were targeting but we happened to look at our appliances and found we were only 40mts away. No way that you can pass up on something so close. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

Unfortunately half of the team needed to stay behind to look after sick friends in Western Australia and the other half needed to head home for a doctors appointment. I joined forces with Papi4506 and Geoturle37 at Maralinga and we have travelling home via the Anne Beadell Highway and Oodnadatta Track picking up whatever caches we came across.

One of our main targets on the way home with this bad weather was adventure labs and Earth caches as they normally don't require too much standing around in the rain. Being that we were so close to this one we thought that we would give it a bash and for a change we were not cursing the weather as once at GZ we had the entire area to ourselves. This was good as it did take a little while to locate the cache. We signed the log as TC to conserve room before returning the cache to how it was.

Thanks ThielFinders for the cache.

No muggles today so we had a good look, but no luck for us. We'll keep an eye on it...

Found it, great spot! TFTC

Couldn't find it anywhere I will be back

Nice hide and good spot

Checked into the caravan park next door for a few nights and headed over to this one on our way to the beach.

Hardly a muggle in sight, very quiet today !

TFT

Ocw the Bebes. A nice quiet day as far as juggles goes. We were staying in the caravan park across the road and had to pop over and collect this one. Tftc

Cool little micro. Good hide. Had to come back during the day to find it.

Cheeky little nano hidden in plain sight

With 3 pairs of eyes it didn’t take too long to find this cache.
Luckily there were no muggels around although it was in the middle of the day.

After nearly giving up, we found it! TFTF

My quickest nano find to date

And, now for the compulsory nano rant: "Nanos Bloody Nanos! Infuriating to find, infuriating to sign and infuriating to roll. Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who hides Nanos."

TFTC

Found after short search. First trip sth for nearly 6 months. Cache all ok. TFTC

Easy find at gz
Located after a stroll along the foreshore
Tftc

Not too many muggles today

These damn micros! Turns out even with the muggles, they don't blink an eye while the grand final is on. Tftc

That k you got the quick maintenance!!
On the verge of giving up when I spotted the little bugger.
Tftc

Back in place and ready to go. Cache on!

doesn't seem to be there. Smartich0ke confirms that he can't spot it after previously finding.

Not today couldn’t find it with poison55 and Smartich0ke (a previous finder) couldn’t see it either so thought it lost

Revisited with 2 friends Chubly09 and Poisin55. who hadn’t found it. Looked in the place I remember it was and a lot of other places without any luck.

Seems to have gone missing according to previous logs. Will check or replace soon. Thanks

I will check in on this one soon.

dnf with mogni. Even made a PAF call and confirmed i was looking in the right spot.

Muggled out... they literally within a metre of it. Another time.

Out celebrating the June long weekend my own way by picking up some caches and completing some adventure labs that I've had my eye on for a long time. I'm not down this way too often but I was staying at my parents so I made use of being closer while I could.

I wasn't going to go out today, until I got notified of the new Signal's Labyrinth this morning.

With my sense of adventure reinstated, I went where the roads lead. They ended up taking me around Happy Valley, Morphett Vale, Onkaparinga Hills, Reynella, Noarlunga, Port Noarlunga South, Seaford, Seaford Rise and Moana.

A total of 31 finds for the day and 5 DNFs, an 86% success rate.


The muggles had cleared out... so I returned.

Easy find... being 6'6 helped.


Cache retrieved, I left my stamp at home so I signed with good old fashioned pen.


Tweezers, torches and other useful tools of the trade are always on hand for necessary cache retrieval.

As well as a first aid kit and gloves for when things get messy.


Thanks ThielFinders for this cache.


This cache brings Goldy's total find count to 1172.

On the lands of the Kaurna people.

Easy find just before muggles started to show up
Log getting full

Had been here before but was always muggled out!!! Returned today with Andy Colombai, Lukas SkyWalker and JJ52 for a quick ........................... if teeny ................. find!!! Thanks for the adventure!!

Tftc!

Lovely Day to be out beside the beach. Not many people about today. Good as it took me a while to make the find. Thanks for the cache.

You got that right, this is definitely Muggle Central, we have been eying this cache off for months but every time we cruise past there are people everywhere!! Swung past today and decided to take the anti geo dog for a walk around the park, she is such a pest she would spook anyone away from the seats when we went there we decided, but we no sooner were out of the car than the people wandered off anyway. Awesome, today was the day.
Peered, squinted, stared and there it was.


Muggle is used in informal English by Mensa members to define non-members or any person with IQ lower than Mensa level.[citation needed]
According to the BBC quiz show QI, in the episode "Hocus Pocus", muggle was a 1930s jazz slang word for someone who uses cannabis. "Muggles" is the title of a 1928 recording by Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra.
A muggle is, according to Abbott Walter Bower, the author of the Scotichronicon, "an Englishman's tail". In Alistair Moffat's book A History of the Borders from Early Times, it is stated that there was a widely held 13th-century belief amongst Scots that Englishmen had tails.
Ernest Bramah referred to "the artful Muggles" in a detective story published decades before the Potter books ("The Ghost at Massingham Mansions", in The Eyes of Max Carrados, Doran, New York, 1924).
Muggles is the name of a female character in the children's book The Gammage Cup by Carol Kendall published in 1959 by Harcourt, Brace & World.
Published in 1982, Roald Dahl's character the Big Friendly Giant uses the word "Muggled" while describing a good dream to the other main character, Sophie - “And the whole school is then cheering like mad and shouting bravo well done, and, for ever after that, even when you is getting your sums all gungswizzled and muggled up, Mr. Figgins is always giving you ten out of ten and writing Good Work Sophie in your exercise book.” – The BFG. Roald Dahl also names a family of monkeys "The Muggle-Wumps" in The Twits and other works.
Muggle was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2003, where it is said to refer to a person who is lacking a skill.
Muggle is used in informal English by members of small, specialised groups, usually those that consider their activities to either be analogous to or directly involve magic (such as within hacker culture; and pagans, Neopagans and Wiccans)[6] to refer to those outside the group.
In online forums for people with herpes, Muggle is used to describe someone who (presumably) does not have HSV.
Muggle (or geomuggle) is used by geocachers to refer to those not involved in or aware of the sport of geocaching. A cache that has been tampered with by non-participants is said to be plundered or muggled.

The term Muggles can refer to an online subculture of regular solvers of the Wall Street Journal weekly crossword contest. The name refers to the fact that they are competing to win a coffee mug.

Thanks TheilFinders for the cache, phew at last we have found it!! TNLNSL

Knowing this one was a Nano, I came past this one today wit Trigger_Fish. We searched higher than required at first before making the find at a lower level. Log signed as MuleFish.

Thanks for the cache ThielFinders.

Find #14990.

As the famous explorer Vasco Panama once said “I can find some of the caches some of the time, but I can’t find all of the caches all of the time”

A nice easy find

Nice quick find in an interesting spot I haven't visited in a while. I love finding nanos but getting the logbook in is always a pain! TFTC TheilFinders

On an afternoon out with Gral4 to do some cache maintenance down south, once the duties were done we kept going with some caching.

No plan we just made it up as we went and had a great time. We started in Port Noarlunga and ended up in Willunga where we met a friendly cat at a multi location and eventually we had tea from the Chinese Place. I was glad it had survived COVID-19 and was still there.

TFTC ThielFinders, I was glad it didn't take me as long to locate as I thought it would!

Quick find while working out the nearby multi coords. Tftc.

Staying at the caravan park made they find on the way to a pizza from the Cafe TFTC

Found it with Firesafe and The Barramundi's
We are camping at the caravan park, we are hosting our annual family fun day tomorrow 6th Feb, anyone is welcome

Found after Firesafe had been looking for a while. Cheers from Barra.

Out with hevwalker today doing a spot of caching down at Port Noarlunga.
We found gz completely void of muggles today.
It seems that the humid weather kept the public away.
So it didn't take long for the three of us to locate the cache.
Thanks for the location ThielFinders

Enjoying catching up with clare007 for a caching day down around the Port Noarlunga area. My semi-muggle friend, Bron came along for the drive. It was a hot & humid morning. We started with the Adventure Lab caches then found regular caches.

I think the heat kept everyone away from the park today as we had the place to ourselves. After a short search the cache was located, retrieved, signed & placed back as found.

Found while out on evening walk with Geoson. A lot of possible hiding places for a nano, but eventually found the right one. Tftc

New Years Day cache after a very long and warm day on the beach. Was a fast but sneaky spot by CinemaBuff. Tftc.

Found it

Found it

Found by The Boofs while out on a drive TFTC . Quiet today as it's a bit rainy, still - bloody nano!!

Tftc

Nice one

Bit harder than the others but found it.

Looked for a few mins then spotted it. Log signed

Found it. Smallest one we have found yet. Thanks

that was really good

Wow, stumped us for a little while but very impressed! Thanks for the cache!

Beautiful morning walk. TFTH

I sat here and stood here and wandered here for quite some time this morning (a Sunday). It was much less crowded than Sat morning. Still, the little fella beat me, not sure where he could be. There is one location about 8m from GZ that looks a likely spot, but as we were on dedicated holiday my TOTT was still at home. Thanks for the challenge.

Easy to find hard to get

Broke magnet tool banged my head one the pole (ow) and mum got a splinter...

The hard bit was putting it back up my magnet tool broke so I had to climb the post and then it wouldn't come off the magnet (grrrr) eventually got it up to its hidey hole

Wait for it,


Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

TFTC. Easy find.

Looks like it may have been taken

This evening, gridge98 and I planned to visit *Onkaparinga River National Park*, and explore another section on the southern side. We then headed to *Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park* just as the lightning show started, with various extreme warnings feeding through our phone's notifications. We managed to complete that walk just as the heavy rain started to feel, and then proceeded back north towards home, stopping for dinner and a few miscellaneous geocaches.

We thought geocaching was over for us this evening with all the rain and lightning, but it must have passed through as we were eating dinner, thereby opening up a window to stop at a few more geocaches in the area. Consequently, within a break in the storm, we drove and parked at this location, and after about five minutes, I finally found the darn nano. At least at this time of night and weather, there were no muggles about. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks ThielFinders for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Even being 9:30om there were people around here after standing on the table looking everywhere Davidwazza made the find.
STOP HIDING NANOS

This evening Davidwazza and I headed south to collect a few caches, after a walk in onkaparinga we went to aldinga scrub then collected a few on the way home.

Cold day.
Freezing wind.
Some showers.
Bright and early.

No muggles!

The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked.

Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...
