Definitely entering the 'nemesis' category for this one as I have tried probably 3 times to find, at one stage enlisting others to help me, all with no luck. I caved in and asked a previous finder for tips, which were gratefully supplied.Armed with this knowledge, I zeroed in on the location - yet despite this, it was still a bugger to find - but find it I did - yay!Thanks for the challenge, gurtyy boi.
Out for a bike ride between Port Adelaide and the Outer harbour area.I had a decent idea what I was looking for, and got lucky. Found it in less than two minutes. TFTC.
Found it! This was not a quick find Eventually located after searching in more detail!Today is forecast to be fairly warm so headed to the coast with the aim of finding as many caches as possible starting from North Haven and heading south along the coastline. TFTC!
TFTC. Back to avenge a previous DNF! I wont tell you how long we looked last time vs how long it took us this time! we found a coords very accurate . Sometimes you have to think outside the rock I mean box! Happy caching and safe travels!
Found after several minutes of in depth searching in the rain. Sent a message to a PAF but found just before I needed to see a photo narrowing the search area.Sneaky hide!TFTC!
TFTC. A quick trip to Adelaide to help youngest child move and try out recently purchased camper trailer … why not pick up some caches!
Happy caching and safe travels!
40min search and no luck. Tried the Google maps suggestion but that didn’t help us either!
Have messaged CO for support.

Sadly I’m going to have to DNF here too……muggle free so had a good search around
Couldn't spend much time here due to the feral yelling at something (not me), so didn't feel particularly safe. Maybe another time.
Back to Wednesday Wandering for some members of the Befuddled Puzzle Solving Group. We gathered at the Rat Nest and myself, Blackadders and S.A. Sewer Rats headed out for a day of caching in and around Lefevre Peninsular. Except for one cache that is currently off line and 1 DNF we managed to find all we looked for. As usual there were a few laughs, a picnic lunch and these are the caches we found [B)]
This was a very quickish find for me. Didn't even need the others who had already found it and thought it might give me some difficulty.
Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers from over fifty to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

I had been to an early morning event, then into the city for a while and after that decided to come out this way and find a couple of caches. [^]
I had been to look for this one last time I was down here but left without finding it as there were a few muggles about. Today GZ was clear so I had another look in the spots I had looked at before and eventually spotted the appropriate container in the last place I looked.
Thanks for the cache gurtyy_boi.

Called past mid morning and no surprise muggle city so left for later, fast forward to early evening and darkness had descended we called past on the way home to a empty area, a short search turned into a longer search and just as we were about to call it quits the hide revealled itself

Thought it would be nice to stop for a cache on the way home. Had no ideas here so had a bounce on the trampoline on the way out. Bitten by mozzies and the plants stinking of dog wee made for quite an unpleasant experience. I’m sure I’ll be back. TFTH
Out and about with Trail06 for the morning.
Time to clean up the peninsular.
All caches were in good order.
A quick find. Been here before but too many mini muggles. Today the coast was clear.

After a enjoyable wander along the PATOG series for about 12 kms with Mattycat we turned our attention to a few on the peninsula, way to many muggles near GZ will check another day!
Good find. Good search. Out with Triple J.
Log was full so added another piece of paper for log.

Hard to be stealthy with so many people around but it was well hidden, was hunting with CFOsNanAndPop. TFTC
Out and about with a geo-newbee and found this geocache, the previous logs helped!!! TFTC logbook is very full...
A quick find with all the Muggles engrossed in the soccer (it’s Saturday arvo). Thanks for placing!
Thanks for the cache found with Webberg, this one has frustrated us for a little while, glad to finally get the smilie!!’
Arrived here today and not a human in sight. Walked over to the GZ and after a few laps the cache was found nicely hidden
Today I went out to do some caches around port Adelaide that were yet to be found. 12 caches in total.

4th time is a charm! Every time I came back here in the last 24 hours it was riddled with muggles! Even when I came back for this 4th time which was past 6pm and dark, there was a muggle. Thankfully they left within less then 10 minutes. Glad to finally have this cache, I sure worked for this one!
I put the coordinates into google maps and found it much quicker.

Spent the morning and early afternoon cycling around the area - a beautiful day for a ride and the headwinds weren't too bad. Found 16 caches and DNFed on 4. Skipped the ones with a sequence of recent DNFs which was lazy but expedient.
Lost enthusiasm for this one because of all the rubbish - just didn't feel like rummaging in that. It's a bit disturbing that the local authorities don't make more than a superficial effort to clean the area

That was a lot quicker to find than expected. Looks like a well kept little park for the kiddies. Thank you for the placement of this cache gurtyy_boi find number 7329 at 3 February 2021 12:22 pm
First for the day and it's always good to start with a find .
Quickly found . TNLNSL.
With the place deserted, it was time to check out the interesing climbing set .
Thanks Gurtyy_boi.

Hmmm what a sticky spot for a cache.
Glad I've used these containers before and spotted it quickly!
thanks for the hide and the smiley gurtyy_boi

Avoid the bugs (except travel bugs of course) - avoid people completely if you can
- get out and cache the regions !
Returned to this after having been muggled out some time ago. Searched with clare007 and hevwalker ................................................. eventually Clare made the find!!
Came back here today with CPwanderer and hevwalker to find an empty playground.
We all had a good search with no luck, so I scrolled back through the logs and found a clue.
I had drifted a good ten meters away from gz, so found my way back and found the cache under some mislaid rubbish.

Found with CPwanderer & clare007 on a windy afternoon...I think the wind kept the crowds away...no-one playing today except for 3 cachers
Lots of looking trying hard not to damage the bushes...
Came out smelling of said bushes...
Clare eventually came across the well hidden cache but not what I was expecting...

Came to play with Poppy and Alfie. Wrote their names in the log. Thanks for the cache.
I was initially looking for something bigger (as you’re supposed to be able to fit a TB on to a “small” sized cache, I stared searching for something smaller.
After lots of bush bashing, I found the one that contained the hide.

Out & about with earthlight after attending her early morning event to farewell The X-Trailers. Finding a cache or 10 while on a maintenance run.
Spot on co-ords!

Owl collected SA Sewer Rats for a girls' caching day out, which then needed a plus one after the Owlmobile collected an unwanted screw in a car park (with a DNF to add insult to injury!) Blackadders added an extra pair of eyes and some more chatter to the day and a good time was had by all. This was the first of the day and it took the womenfolk a while to narrow down the options, with the Rat's beady eyes finally spotting the cache.
The low flying Owl had collected a scurrying Rat for a girls Day out caching.
This was our first for the day.
Took a bit of searching.
But the beady eyed Rat soon had the cache in her paws. Tftc

Muggle partner had eye surgery again today[^] and so Rex and I attended the Banh Mi Park event then drove down South to pick up muggle partner[^], take him to Eastwood, wait for him[^] and then return him to Morphett Vale safely afterwards[^]
While he was in surgery I grabbed cold rolls for lunch and let Rex have a run in a park while I ate[^]
Once we got to MIL's house after surgery, I saw that the bonus cache details on the Coots and Moorhens adventure lab had changed, so Rex and I said goodbye and headed off to find the bonus cache before publication, which we did!
Then it was off to the Largs North dog beach for Rex to have fun before we got 1 more cache on the way home for a total of 3 cache finds today
Found this cache in the darkness after spending a couple of hours at Largs North watching the sun set[:X] and Rex playing

Found during a caching foray onto Lefevre Peninsula after attending the Banh Mi Park event. The place was deserted, so came up with the goods after a short(ish) uninterrupted search. Thanks for the cache gurtyy_boi!
No mini muggles around on this windy, overcast day, so was able to retrieve this cache without looking suspicious l!

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 one took more time than it should have. No one around today as I was poking around. A bonus when it comes to play grounds.

On the way to GZ had a bounce. Found the cache and had another bouce on the way out as there were no kids about so early.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Saw this published recently, but with the WFH thing it is difficult to get out. Today I was out and about and with it being lunchtime it was opportune to make a detour and make a find. Travelled to the area and parked nearby and wandered over to the area of GZ, but the GPS was wandering all over the place. Put it away and tried another device. Got to a point where the area stabilised and was within 2M. OK, now start the search. Looking, looking and hey presto, what's that. Found just as muggle family wandered over to the play equipment. Took the cache for a short wander, stamped the log and then waited till all backs were towards me and replaced the cache. Then wandered back to the car starting the log and reading past logs. Wow, sometimes it does pay to wait to make the find.

Stopped here with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang for a cache & then lunch.
We had an initial search and came up with nothing.
Having to abandon the area for muggle kids and parent.
We left to get lunch, hoping this would give them time to play & leave.
Actually the reverse happened and more kids turned up...
Wish the cache was a bit further away from the playground.

Searched with clare007 and Gizmos Gang but had to cut it short as a family moved onto the play equipment. We got some lunch at the nearby takeaway hoping things would quiet down but instead more and more families / kids swarmed on the playground. Will have to return!!
First for the day and had been looking for nearly 5 minutes when Squizzie arrived. After a nice catch-up chat got back to looking and soon after Squizzie made the find in an area I'd already given the once over. Good co-ords, we both had cache at less than 2 meters from our GZs.
Thanks gurtyy_boi for putting it there

After seeing the co-ord correction last night i thought I'd try again with this one this morning, Tuesday 8 September 2020 hoping there would still be a podium spot
Arrived at a deserted GZ with overcast skies leaking
Looked in probably what was one of few spots i didn't before ( i feel like a goose coz the co-ords weren't out by much at all )
SL at 09:29 as STF, hunched over the log so the leaky sky wouldn't spoil the paper
Returned the cache exactly as found.

Only once i arrived to this one and after a 5 minute search with no luck i delved into past logs for hints an realized there [logged online so far] was only one. {Sweet i'll try and get Silver }
I was so lucky to have this whole area to myself for about 25 minutes searching in vain in between rocks, under rocks, on equipment, in trees, logs and bushes.... i had to 'call it' as Muggles started to arrive [B)]
I will keep an eye on the next lot of logs for maybe a slight hint. No podium posse for the Wee Blue Birdy here today [v]

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 21.0 feet or 6.4 meters.
Due to multiple DNFS we returned and redone the coords so it should be at GZ. It was about a meter of the radius

First to find, for the win!! About ten minutes searching, widened gz a little, to have it in hand. Tftc, cheers cobber.
With a GZ in the middle of the rocks, and spreading out to a 10m radius, and no hint. I gave up after 20 mins...
