When I placed this in May, 2004, I never expected it to last more than 6 months as the hide was fairly obvious, and could even be seen from the right angle.
But it just kept hanging on, and even though it went missing twice, it survived for 5.9 years!
However the latest round of mugglings have me admitting defeat. I have to admit that I am fast losing interest in urban caches and as this is the only suburban one I have, I have decided to save myself the ulcer, archive it and let someone else have the spot (if they want it [^] )

Looks like this this was destined to stay muggled. Disabled until I can get there and sort it out for myself.
Outmuggled by a council worker spraying all sorts of nasty chemicals near GZ.
There was some velcro stuck under the seat but no cache assuming I was in the right spot...
The cache is back and ready to go. Many thanks to smersh for taking the trouble to assist with the maintenance of this. I owe you one mate .
The cache has been physically removed for safekeeping, so I have to take it off line for a while for repairs.
Could not replace the cache in any way. Please contact me as I took it to keep it safe. Thanks.
Found with Dennisc52. Nice mural with no graffiti but that doesn't really look like a ear.
A quick find with FPN in tow. The mural looks like new, with no graffiti evident . TFTC.
now we have the 100 find trackable we are just getting around to logging it through.
What a great way to pass time on a trip to the childrens hospital. Thanks for the cache.
An absolutely beautiful park and waddya know, found, SL, re-hid and as I was walking back to the car a swarm of kiddies on bikes, a man with a dog and a power walker came by.... Talk about timing was greatly impressed with how well kept the area is. Drive by every day and never stopped to look. TFTC
I haven't had a good look around Prospect before. There are some great sculptures and murals around here.
An easy find while sitting down watching many other people in the park. TFTC.

First of 8 for the day. It has been a while so it was great to head out caching again. Found quite quickly and lucky the park was empty today. Cheers.
This cache gave me the fright of my life! I grabbed the cache and when I retrieved it from its hiding spot, I noticed that there was the biggest FUNNEL WEB spider right next to where I had placed my hand! Any closer and I might not be logging this cache now. Anyway it is a dead Funnel Web spider now!!!
Easy find on a quick trip down from Darwin. Looks like I brought the hot weather with me.
Dropped my geocoin in for a quick visit.

Found this cache as part of our Invasion Weekend in Adelaide with my fellow Gangsters. We had to use extremme stealth as puppy school was in full swing. Thanks for the hunt

Found this cache on our Adelaide invasion trip with Steeba, The Rats and FarmerFrentzen. What an amazing wall! As the others said we took the stealthy option for this one.
Thanks Nibs for the cache.

After we fought off the hoards of muggles and their dogs we managed to covertly find this one. Another cover to put it back and we smelt the rose before moving on.

I've got a container like this somewhere - what a good idea to use it for a cache. 56th of 55 finds today in the company of the penguins. This shows that somewhere I got my count wrong. ??? TFTC
Found on the way to the Pub Lunch... Dazzatron went looking while I used the facilities.... There were two ladies and their dogs having a chat nearby but posed no problem to finding the cache... An interesting wall... Love the idea of listing previous logs in the new log book
Tks Nibs for the cache and bringing us to this park...

Located it fairly easy just had to wait for the people in the park to be looking away so I could retrieve it but after a short wait my opportunity appeared and I retrieved it and signed and placed it back.. Great hide. TFTC
This really is a great little park tucked off the street. I had a wander round and took a detoured approached to GZ, very enjoyable [^] Zeroed in on what I thought might be the hidy hole and stepped back to squat and have a look.... Erm yep, that's it... Made use of the convenient seat to conduct business before meandering back through the park to the temporary Gunniemobile.
Cheers Nibs.

Logbook replaced and annotated with previous finders, and an elasticised velcro band to keep it sealed. Please ensure it is always used.
Visited today with the intention of possibly relocating the cache. I couldn't have picked a worse day - the Mother's Day crowds were thronging about . All I could do was retrieve the old container (which was sitting there in plain view ) and think about it some more. A work in progress .
I'll have to take this off-line until I can investigate the possible problems with the location and put in a new log book.
Yep definetly a talented artist!! Still no log book, but that doesn't really worry me! TNLN TFTC
Log book required and it could do with a visit to see if relocation of the cache is required before the structure is relocated.
1774. Have to agree that it is a lovely little park, however the item that the cache is hidden on is no longer attached to the ground and there was no log book in the container. I had to sign the magnet swap as evidence as I didn't have any paper on me.
TFTC and the interesting area.

Found this one while out for a walk at lunch time. Very quiet today which made it quick and easy to retrieve.
A nice peaceful spot. Thanks for giving me an excuse to get out of the office.

Found with the Duffman. nice spot but cache had a nest of ants and eggs in it, tipped most out but might want to check it out....
Had a very funny experience here. We had found the cache despite several Christmas parties happening in the surrounding park. We were making our way back to the car when we were accosted by a muggle. Anticipating that he wanted to know what we had been doing, we were surprised to be asked to go over to join the group and to draw their raffle. They wanted someone independent.
After drawing about 15 tickets for various prizes we left some winners and losers behind. We were the winners as they gave us a bottle of port for our troubles. Thank you to the Zebra finch society for the port and to Nibs for the cache.

A quick easy find with o'cholio on the way in to the Christmas Event. SL TFTC
It took a little while to find while here with growingupisoptional, and we had to be careful not to alert the nearby muggles to our reason for being here, but the cache was found without too much trouble. Some friends of Mrs O were married here not so long ago, and we can see why. A nice spot. TFTC.
Found 200811021224 . A few muggles were having a picnic on the other side of the park but I was far enough away for them not to affect my enjoying an easy find

Second cache for the arvo adjacent to junior muggles. Quickly located. Took: Unite TB. TFTC.
Quick & easy find for the B-Team late at night - the sole cache find on an overnight trip to Adelaide. GPSr led me right to the spot - "scarily" accurate, but maybe that was just because it was very dark in the park.

TFTC - Good Luck!

What an extremely beautiful park.
Headed to a playground with Cal, and decided upon this park.
We had a great time. The springy swing was pretty neat. I only needed to give Cal a slight push, and then jump on the other and start swinging, and Cal got higher and higher.
The soundshell of the rotunda is fantastic as it gave a lovely echo. Cal enjoyed making dog noises and listening to the echo. Dancing around you also hear a ping from the footsteps.
The old tree next to the rotunda was fun to climb around and Cal had a wow of a time chasing me around it. Just a little to far from home, but the kindy looked like a fun one, with a beautiful bird mural on their building, and a lovely tree providing plenty of shade.
Eventually we got around to grabbing the cache, as we had to time it for when no muggles with their dogs were around. Thought it was going to be in one spot from a distance, but getting closer I could see it was rather exposed. Reorganised cache so hopefully it wont become as exposed again, signed log, and visited a coin through as I wasn't certain of the cache security.
TFTC Nibs it was a great park[^]
(Ooh and I've just realised I've done 2 Nibs in a row)

Managed to make this one my last find before heading back home. Co ords were spot on and cache was easily found. Being wet today helped in keeping the muggles away.
SL @ 1005.
I think I may have missed 2 other caches that were hidden the same as this when searching in the dark the night before, was tempting to go back and look for them but just didn`t have time.
TFTC, Cheers.

Out on a night long night 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!
How did we end up on the wrong side of the wall? I am not sure. Right spot and a dog Christmas party happening nearby but we got it. Thanks

A great hide in a lovely part of Adelaide. Sat on the seat and had a nice chat with Moses on the Move. A rather hot but entertaining day caching with Geo mate Moses on the Move. It was difficult to be inconspicuous with the lovers on one side and the dogs Christmas party on the other.
No ears, all eyes tonight with the team. A quick dash and we had the cache in hand - probably in record time. Cheers Gav [1445]
Kiwi Cache Raid: #48 @ 03:46. Nice little park and art work. Many thanks Nibs.,,,,,,,,,

Thanks to all the cachers who placed these interesting caches in Adelaide.
I only wish we could have spent more time appreciating the locations that we visited on our whistle stop tour.
