As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache [red]within the next couple of months[/red], just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
 
29-Apr-11
30 Day warning given at beginning of March.
 
01-Mar-11
Please archive.

Hey guys... are you still holding this spot to replace the cache?
 
10-Feb-11
Any advice yet as to whether it'll be maintained or archived?
 
08-Nov-10
Over a year since the promise of replacement. Time to go.
 
08-Nov-10
We will investigate the garden this weekend & advise if it is to be replaced or archived.
 
02-Oct-09
We have the new cache ready to go but we are waiting to see what is happening with the garden before we replace it. We may need to go to plan B & use a different container type & move GZ slightly.
 
05-Sep-09
Went to check on the cache & couldn't even find it. The garden bed it was in has been cleared & I checked the others without success. We will order a new cache & replace asap. Stay tuned.
 
02-Sep-09
We will check out the damage probably on the weekend & if needs be will take off line until we can order a new cache.
 
22-Aug-09
We think we found it. This was our second visit to this cache and thought it was going to be another DNF. Determined not to be defeated, we persevered and geokid 7yo finally says "I found it". It was right under our noses, but it has definitely been muggled!. No log book, broken cache bottom but one trinket left inside.
Still not sure if we've found the original or the replaced cache. Either way, it was a beauty... and such a shame that is has been damaged.

02-Aug-09
Spent quite some time searching around for this one, but didn't find it.
 
01-Aug-09
Could not find, darksidelemm and I looked for quite a while.
 
21-May-09
That took some looking - including opening sprinkler valve "caches", working out a loose knot in the pine sleepers with a 'tool' that happened to be left at GZ. All to no avail. Google maps helped a little, and all along I'd was right there under my you-know-what! Great camo TFTC.
 
19-May-09
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 11:30am. Looked in the wrong place for a few minutes before some other cachers came along and helped out. I was very pleased to meet 'Ciril' and 'lioness and milkman' at the cache; an easy find then. It is a great camo job too. TFTC

Met a fellow Queenslander here though I'm afraid I have forgotten his name, Perfectly camoflagued cache. TFTC!
 
25-Apr-09
We finally found this one on our third attempt, fewf, it seems so obvious now! TFTC
 
31-Mar-09
Interesting to look at the Art of the noses. Thanks for bringing me here. Smile
 
29-Mar-09
Pulled in and got off the bike, and wandered across to GZ. I have been fortunate to find quite a number of similar hides, using the same cache container up in Queensland, so let Mrs Bundy, who was a few steps behind, have the fun of searching for it. Admittedly, there wasnt much to hide it, as the garden is pretty bare.

Found at 1400 hrs.

Cheers
Bundy
 
Hooray!! Have been to look here before but it eluded me (and the 3 other people who were seraching with me!!). It was actually very simple. I guess it is the obvious ones that are so easy to miss!!
 
06-Mar-09
Find 525 without a GPS at 3.00pm
Almost had given up because it can’t be hidden here must have drifted elsewhere.
No, it was there Google Earth was within 2 metres.

15-Jan-09
Our first for the day and we couldn't find it. The exact spot that we were looking at was completely devoid of ANY garden - which had us wondering about our GPS. We will not be beaten - and we WILL return for further investigations. Thanks for the challenge.
 
15-Jan-09
Very aromatic! We love our local library but Mrs and mini Trigg-A-Nomics weren't here to log this one with me.

Found this cache with froghoppin and have since created my own team name and currently logging previous finds after discussions with other cachers at a recent event TFTC
 
10-Jan-09
Nearly gave up on this one, read up on the spoilers then started thinking outside the norm and found it easily TNLN TFTC
 
05-Jan-09
Tried once and failed, came back with K8eus and found it very quickly second time. Brilliant cache guys, love it! TNLF
 
09-Dec-08
Add another DNF from me. Spent a fair while looking but to no avail. Approaching the end of a day's cyclocaching.
 
30-Nov-08
for the life of me we cannot find it. Looked everywhere, looked under the nose and pushed around in the herbs, but nothing. Not happy jan.
 
23-Nov-08
Obviously I don't have a nose for sniffing out the more cleverly hidden caches! Red Face GPS had me going round in circles and even with lots of clues from previous finders... I still stank! [xx(]
Nice garden area, lots of muggle readers coming and going, and kids had a ball playing on the bridge over and in the dry creek bed. Cool
Like Arnie says...I'll be back!
 
21-Nov-08
Fiiiiiiinally found this one (okay, yes I admit, my scouts actually told me what to look for)..

I spent a *lot* of time looking in a more developed part of the garden, but today, armed with a very big hint, I found it straight away.

Fabulous hide - took us a while to sniff it out. GeoKid swapped the pet rock for two tumbling beans.

We found this a long long time ago and obviously forgot to log it.We recall it was a Friday night and we were with a friend who was joining us Geocaching for the first time. It took us awhile as well. TFTC
 
19-Jun-08
Hmmm... not over there, the GPS says over this way. but there's noting over here except ... Aha!

A nice find. It was so out in the open I was amazed! I tucked it away a little better.

Left pet rock because it would fit Smile.
 
16-Jun-08
Obviously didnt find/select the right nose!
 
15-Jun-08
... took a while looking for this one. Clever micro. In the end it was right under our noses. Ha ha. TNLN. Thanks.

A quick stop while in Adelaide for work.
Thanks
 
28-Mar-08
Tried to stick our fingers up all the nostrils we could find, but they were all blocked [B)]!
Well, if in doubt, follow your GPS [8].
Eldest geoson quickly worked it out.
Nice hide!
TNLNSL.
Thanks team Phrodo & Ranger Family [^].
 
18-Mar-08
I tried for this one several months ago with no success. This time I had it in about a minute! Must not have looked in the right spot. A neat hide and thanks.
 
14-Feb-08
Our first cache in Australia! Over for our son's wedding. Looks like the garden could do with some soft Scottish rain - we have plenty! Thanks. The Webbys.
 
06-Feb-08
Found during 24hr cac-hunting run, Accompanied with Varuna and Mrs Snapper!!!, Everlasting as our Driver, Found 120 caches out of 137 including 17 DNFs and the missing caches. Thanks for organizing the cache and hunt.
 
06-Feb-08
24hr cache-hunt run by snapper!!! and varuna. The cache was found quickly and signed, before heading back
to where Everlasting (Driver) was waiting in her car, to drive onto the next cache. This cache was one of our 120 finds. Thanks for the cache and the spot.
 
05-Feb-08
Although SatLoc was erratic I found the cache after a little bit of hunting around.
Due to watering restrictions the scented garden is a sorry spectacle – one wonders how much longer it will survive. I don’t think I would fancy anything from there in my Vindaloo!
Anyway, ‘Thanks for the Cache’ Ranger Family.

25-Jan-08
This place was certainly on the nose today. It was a pleasnt smell however as I sat down on the nearest bench to outwait a council worker who was cleaning up some leaves. As soon as he was gone i commenced the search and soon had cache in hand. Signed the log, replaced the cache and jumped back in the car to accompanying residual smells left on my hands.

TFTC
 
15-Jan-08
Find number 1277, Mr MadMyers and I found the cache fairly quickly before heading back to the car for Everlasting to drive us to the next one. Thanks for placing this cache which helped us find 189 today. Cheers The Nanks
 
15-Jan-08
Out on a long night and day of caching with MrTheNanks - we found this one. On holidays from Queensland - what better way to spend a good few hours than caching!! Cache found, log signed - now onto the next cache! Thanks for the South Australian cache!
 
11-Jan-08
Found the cache at 2.45pm. Excellent one, love your cache so much. SL. Thanks Ranger Family for organising the cache and hunt.
 
05-Jan-08
Check out all those DNF's. Takes a couple of victorian cachers to have a successfull find it seems. Didn't take us all that long either. Plenty of nice fragraces here some of which tended to linger on our hands after touching the plants. We pulled up here and ate our lunchtime sandwiches.
Thanks indeed.
 
05-Jan-08
Nice park. Great sculpture too, pity that the garden is not being maintained. Not sure I would use that in a vindaloo, but each to their own. Smile
The adjacent carpark was a bit busy, with lots of book laden muggles walking to and fro.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
23-Dec-07
Checked on it today & it still there Smile, sorry guys. Better luck next time. When a ranger hides something it stays hidden. Razz
 
12-Dec-07
It was a bit tricky with all the muggles around, so I think we called it off as we were out-muggled. Cheers Gav
 
12-Dec-07
Kiwi Cache Raid: Was very busy here and so we had to be a bit restrained in our search. At least now we know where those lovely curry smells come from. Many thanks,,,,,,,,,
 
12-Dec-07
Alas we couldn't locate this one after a extensive hunt
 
12-Dec-07
Missed this one one the record attempt
 
12-Dec-07
Attempted unsuccessfully during our 24 hour record attempt.
 
12-Dec-07
Muggle central so searching a bit restrained. Couldn't spot it.
 
23-Nov-07
FINALLY!!!! looked at this one many times, but seemed to have had the wrong coordinates. Very clever hide
Cheers

It is an apt name and a clever cache. Looked past it a couple of times. TNLNSL

Ready to go again, Good Luck. Twisted
 
06-Oct-07
We have a new container in the works & hope to have the cache up & running in a couple of weeks or so.
 
14-Sep-07
We are currently assessing the viability of camouflage for a new cache. Watch this space.
 
28-Jul-07
Disabling until we can find a new hide location as the original hiding spot has been cut back.
 
22-Jul-07
The cache is definately gone, which is a pitty as it is the first cache that we ever found Sad. The surrounding greenery has been cut back so will no longer support a cache in that exact location. Will email the owner as they have not been on for a long time to see if they want to replace it, if not then with permission we will seek to adopt the cache.
 
16-Jul-07
strange sculpture yes!!

Found the sculptor, but no luck with the cache. I was all over the place in my 3 metre radius. Will come back another day.

Cheers
SS
 
15-Jul-07
Interesting sculpture but unfortunately no luck with the cache. Thought we were looking in the right spot but obviously not
 
15-Jun-07
found on a visit to the library. No one ever seems to notice this little spot! TNLN
 
12-May-07
I see that my friends trail06 had been here most recently before me and had left the cache very neatly concealed (as I would expect). Great garden- I will definitely revisit to enjoy the smells again. Took a ball and left a cowboy. Thanks for the interesting cache. I don't understand the sculpture though. I guess that is art.
 
22-Apr-07
Found with Oenze on day 1 of our caching trip in Adelaide. We now knows how this cache got its name. TOok us a good while until comonsense kicked in. Thanks for the cache.

Been to this park before but did not know this section existed. A great concept. Desparately needs a good drink and some new plantings because of the drought.
A pleasantly smelly activity.
Took dinosaur and left a ball.
Thanks!

18-Jan-07
I have known about this park for years but wasn't aware of the sculpture. Nice hide.

Found it with Fore! on holidays. Easy find in a cute location and naming reference. Cache doesn't have geocaching notice in contents to assist if found by Muggles...

This was the 26th of 29 successful finds for caches in Adelaide that Shadow! and I (from the ACT) tackled over 4 days whilst visiting my family. What a great excuse to go caching in a new environment!

Found this one at 3:08pm on our last ditch effort to get some caches before returning to the ACT. Nobody nose how much we liked this cache!

Nice spot, and the coordinates were right on the nose Big Grin ... I think I took a couple of good photos - will see how they turn out. Smell you later!

After passing some muggles making out in their car this was a quick find that had me worried to start with as the lid had come away from the container as I grabbed it & the contents were falling out.

T stubby holder so I could get the lid back on properly.

GPS and scent off, but both settled when the sculpture was spotted. Took a while as I thought the cache was titled "up your nose". Oh well, found at last! TNLNSL. TFTC an interesting sculpture
