Was not in the most obvious place and on talking to another cacher later in the day, this one may be in trouble.

We've looked for this one before but like others, we were here at the wrong time of the day. Had no hassles today, used Mrs O for cover from some seated muggles in the park while we found the cache and signed the log. Wonder how long it'll be before surrounding buildings start falling as the sinkhole expands. TFTC.
Located the hide quickly but retrieving proved to be the challenge and had to bring in the rest of the team for appropriate cover and distractions. Traded a pen for a keychain. Thanks for the cache and bringing us to the interesting garden and cave nearby.
Located this one yesterday arvo, but the area was to busy to retrieve.... returned in the evening still muggles everywhere, returned again at a rediculous time of the night.... more muggles in the park.... Last try at 7am in the morning.. Finally no-one!!

What an interesting spot. Thanks for taking us here! TNLNSL

Found this one with DisSister, a muggle was examining the garden so we had to be a bit tricky. Great spot.
We were in the city visiting relatives and had the chance to grab this cache while we were there. Left GC trying to make it to WA. TFTC This is lovely at night too.
A quick find this morning while the council workers took down the Xmas decorations nearby. TFTC
found ok , the only thing we could find to write with was a yellow pencil , so it's a bit hard to see
Glad we did this one after dark.. Ran into the security guard but he was pretty cool. TFTC
found on an exciting night of caching. It seems richlink have been very busy !!!
Love these sinkholes and they are so beautifully landscaped. We had just returned cache to it's hidey hole when two council muggles turned up to weed and fertilize the garden.
It was just on 9am when we got here, so there was only a small amount of traffic around, which was just as well as I had to look a couple of times to spot the cache, which was in the spot I had picked from the car. From here we walked into the cave to enjoy the gardens. It must be spectacular after some rain in there.
No sign of TB’s in the cache.
No swaps today.

Found with Apple Sauce and it was such a clever hide. Took a dinosaur and left a marble. Thanks
Found after a few minutes as there weren't too many (only found one actually) places to hide a cache.
The kids liked this one.

Thanks again UdderChaos

It's strange to think when driving through this grand old city and stopping at such a beautiful location that this was once a dump! The cache hide was pretty good and we were thankful for a break in the pedestrain traffic so we could log it.

2Dudez and Team Rubik's Week Long "2008 : A Cache Odyssey" trip to South Australia.
A very quick find, We had this one 30 seconds after parking the car, a quick look around to see that nobody was watching, had the cache replaced and we were back in the car.
A great urban cache, Udderchaos

Twice attemps. Found the cache at 9am. Phew! quick grab and SL. Thanks for organising the cache and hunt.
Another quick MG find, it seems that we either find them quickly or not at all on this trip. TFTC.

Would the next finder of this cacher please check and see if my geocoin is still in it? Thank you so much.
A cache right across the road from the pub? what a town this is
We were just going for a counter tea and paused to grab the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

It was early evening and while Robmc and I wandered around to find somewhere to eat we stumbled apun this cache which was well hidden in a logical spot. Nice little cave nearby too. Thanks
Found in the company of The Batgirls and couple of mugglish friends on our easter camp down south! The Hedge and The Big C opted for the pub instead of the caching this time! TFTC!
Found today on a quick visit to the gardens. The cache was quickly found when most of the muggles around were busy watching a muggle wedding party in the park.

A handful of muggles around today but the hiding place was pretty clear and the cache easily extracted and replaced. Fine piece of spotting and placement that! Well done.
Found this one on our holiday trip on the way to Adelaide.
The weather was fine and caching down under was great fun for us.

There were a few muggles around for this hunt, I arrived just after they found it as I was distracted by coffee and croissant Cheers Gav [1375]
Got my caches mixed up, found just after town opened for business, but no problem with muggles.

Tricky to recover. Took a ring , left a mermaid. Had to wait for local trick riders to make way for us and go to do their tricks elsewhere. Enjoyed the history as we waited.
Found on second attempt. The first one there were to many muggles around so tackled it on sunday, still busy.
Filled in the log. Thanks

The gps was pointing to a completely different place to where the cache actually was but we thought a certain spot looked like a perfect hiding spot so the prisoner and I checked but found nothing. But when thirdman checked he pulled out a little cache.Maybe my arms are too short.TNLNSL thanks udder chaos
This is located near a very cool water feature. And even better for a Mt Gambier location it is not a micro. Cool hide. TFTC TNLN SL.
Second of 16 for the day in and around Mt Gambier. Nice hide, the area was muggle free at 7:30 am.
We found this one while we were in the area as we went out for breakfast for Father's Day.
Thanks for the Hunt Udderchaos

My nieces' first successful geocache find and I think they're hooked. When we go back to Adelaide and leave them here I think they'll be bugging uncle to take them out... Sorry Uncle! (hee hee hee).

Dropped in Sid the Mac Park Kid TB in here to start his Journey for the students at McDonald Park Primary School.
Quick easy find here for Biggo. Spotted the potential site from afar as well. extracted it easily, but replacing was a bit harder. Had to take the cache on a little drive with me. returned later to replace it easily. Thanks Udderchaos.

I was a walk up start for this cache find
Spotted the likely hidey hole from afar. There must be a blue moon soon as I actually found the cache there too

The pouring rain kept any potential muggles indoors as I loitered near the toilets at night. I eventually found the right facility, signed the log and went on my way before anyone questioned my motives. Thanks Udder Chaos.
Indeed, it ISN’T in the toilet . Found it quickly this time just on dusk. TNLN. Cheers Udders
Found by Mary & David in company with GeoJo at 0855. We found the original cache 2½ years ago, but this version was a whole new experience. TNLN. Our thanks to Udderchaos for the chance to find the new location.
Having been here previously, maccamob decided to bypass the GPS and take me straight to GZ. Unfortunately the cache was no longer there, so I decided to follow the GPS and soon found the clever hiding place. Great spot to hide a container - TFTC.
Our second find on the hiding day of the CCC event. Plenty of shopping muggles about on a Saturday morning but we had little trouble retrieving or replacing the cache.
TNLNSL Thanks for the cache.

Found at 11:50 with Cached & Burton's, it helped to have a group to create Muggle cover when retrieving & replacing this one. TNLNSL TFTC Cheers 'scargoes (P&F)
2nd find of the 'hiding day' of the CCC Event. A very nice hide, with muggles galore at 11am! TNSL Left magnet

Found 23:45ish. 22nd of 26 FFTD. Second night joining up with chizbeki and Team Hurtle for a night time caching frenzy. Great Hide, no muggles this time of night. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Mt Gambier is such a pretty place. Its just amazing what's sitting right in your backyard so to speak. Found with cached and `scargoes.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

An exceptionally easy find for us as it was in the hands of the whitedoggang, who in turn caught us with our mouths full of biscuits (yep, a geocachers lunch was in progress) - TFTC
I found this one while the family was off shopping, a quick easy find. Cheers. MODU.
We found it & Wacky's found us with it. So we logged & then handed over to them for the replacement there of.

Thanks to the benevolence of the cache owner I am able to log this again. I had a bit of shonky help.
only one place it could be really... easy find but more difficult to return after the old lady staggered out of the building across the road and watched the two suspicious characters as she waited for a taxi...
A much better hide the second time around. A nice easy find in the middle of the day.

FTF on the new cache!! Looked for it the previous day but had entered the co-ordinates in uncorrectly and left me a fair way from the real GZ but looking at a great spot to hide a cache..
Once the DOH factor hit in the next day I searched with the right co-ordinates and come up with the cache..
A great hide and a fantastic replacememnt for the original!!
Becareful when retrieving this cache as you can be watched on every angle, especially if they are sitting down having tea at Jens!!!
Thanks Udderchaos

That would explain why we didn't find it . Although, to be honest we didn't try THAT hard. Just looked quickly in the obvious spots around GZ. I'm just not comfortable lurking around dunnies.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this cache has gone missing. I logged the cache yesterday, so I knew exactly where to look. I revisited it tonight to drop off one of the Shipwrecked TBs, but it wasn't there. I feel very bad about this, being the last visitor just last night. I was pretty sure that nobody saw me at GZ, but maybe I was wrong. I hate it when a cache goes missing, and I was the last visitor.
Twelfth of twenty-four caches on my first day in Mt Gambier (urban day one). I had visited no less than five caches earlier that I had to put aside for a later assault. However, I had definitely earmarked this one for an after hours assault. It turned out to be an easy find at 1830. It would have been a nightmare between 8 and 5! It's a micro, so I made no exchange. Thanks to UdderChaos for the cache. Cheers, dak.
An easy find when the office is closed for Christmas holidays. Can imagine it would be another story during usual office hours.
just viewed log and saw this had been found did a evening search the next day but on luck here will go back for a second look later on hopefully with a better result.
4:22 pm - This cache had been muggled. Probably by kids, as there was scribble on the log and the cache was loose, but hidden. After speaking to cache owner I removed the scribble page. We put it back where it should have been. At least we found it. Also removed "shipwrecked" Travel Bug.
