Not sure if I was off my game today or cache not there? Saw a couple good hiding spots but no cache.
Another DNF on this one... Am i missing something or has it been muggles again. Once at GZ thought it was self explainatory where the cache was hidden, but alas I owe you 5 farthings said the bells of st Martins =(
Placed extra paper, writing stick and plastic bag in cache ready for summer now!
Took a little while but soon had this one in hand quick drop by while working near by TFTC
TFTC. Never knew this little park was here. It is lovely. Found on the way to the airport to pick up my brother. Thanks for showing me this wonderful little area.
Hubby had his PC parts to drop off across and down the street, so I legged it up the road.
Tried to alternate between direct and driving mode, but ended up doing a lap and ending-up where I started
Hmmm, missed something somewhere???
Okay, try this again, found the right location and just as I'm about to start searching I get a phone call?
Just letting you know I've finished & waiting in the car.
I haven't found my cache yet, oh wait a minute, found it. Be there in ten [^]
After weaving through the traffic, battling against the wind and some power walking I was pretty exhausted.
But glad to cross another one off my list, without getting wet!
Cheers SA_ParrotHead

Was our first geocache and loved it! Log book full but we left a treasure behind
Was just walking past shopping for cars. Looked like a good spot for a cache, we had a look. Unfortunately no pen on us so we couldn't write our name. Tftc
Geomum looked up this one while in the area shopping for Geodaughter's items for her soon to be Ski trip with her school. But what do we do drive by slowly looking for the place it may be hidden drive straight past it, so around the Block we drove slower this time and find the right location to park near the cache area then Geodaughter Quickly found the Cache. An interesting little place that we have driven passed quite a bit and never knew what this little place represented now we know. TFTC
TFTC, container is different from photos but had us stumped for a while, log book need replacing.
Still there. Not too difficult , actually took some of the discarded flora away to build a new innovative geocache for future.
Finally found this cache, i tried before in the dark with no luck, sometimes pays to go during the day NB: new log book required
The hardest part of this cache for us was getting somewhere to legally park the car. Once this had been achieved, it was a short walk to GZ. Accurate coordinates and the elimination of some very unlikely spots resulted in the cache being in hand very quickly. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC SA_Parrothead
it took my daughter to find this one... might want to ask council to clean up the syringes. but fun non the less.
Worked out that with a slight detour, this was on the way home ...
Did this one BFE style today.
Nice little park ... nice bit of history .. clever cache name.
Seek3r-ed and found!

Thanks for the cache SA ParrotHead

Spy Gecko is our team made up of spyjordy and Purple Gecko for the scouts geocaching competition. Thank you for placing caches that assist us during this competition. TFTC SL
WOW why did this cache take us so long ahaha! Quite easy, maybe it was just the heat. TFTC!
Quick find after heading to Aussie Disposals to grab some geocaching supplies.
Thanks for the cache SA ParrotHead!

This was another case of a full on day caching!
I started with 3 caches early in the day while out on my own and then met up with muff1 and TheSA cousins at about 2.30pm.
Immediately, we piled into one car and took off for a potential FTF, as per directions from Mrs muff1 via remote control
By the time I dropped TheSA cousins back at her car at about 3am (Mr muff1 had escaped our caching run at about 9.30pm), I had attempted 20 caches with 19 positive locus cache events and only 1 DNF I also had two FTF's on Saturday and started Sunday with another FTF at 00.50am
Also managed to get two of my nemesis caches turned into smileys
Mind you, we did have a day/night with high muggle involvement as we had to educate a muggle lady (who was last seen heading off to Google 'geocaching', a security guard and his boss and two SAPOL officers.
I have previously thought to get this cache but uaually I am on the wrong side of the road when I think of it! Today, while still solo caching, I managed to park right in front of the park but only because I had stopped to look at a 4WD in a car yard!
Had the father of a client of mine approache me as I got out of the car..... that was interesting for a moment! but ended up well [^]
Find made although I did wonder how that is 1star terrain[?] as it was further than I could have got sitting down

TFTC. A beautiful evening to cache. Taking G/M and geo daughter for a drive. Great cache.
was on the way into the xmas event with the burtons, when lee said pull over. took us a bit to find the cache but we were using a phone to locate. ftfc
Still dusting myself off from last DNF and itching my hands , wish I had bought some gloves along to this one too!! What a strange little park in an odd place ! Cousin gots tried across the road many moons ago I am sure of it. Muggle decided to read the plaque and jeopardise my 15 min carpark. All good in the end and a lovely scent from the gums while writing up this log, almost citrus TFTC
Greetings from Tasmania
Found this cache while on a caching trip to Adelaide. Found some great caches while there including a 5 difficulty traditional (I'm a Bastard 2), a 4 terrain traditional (Tapleys Bird) and many great hides in great locations through out Adelaide. Thank you Adelaide cachers for planting so many good caches. My wife did ask me to pick a favourite, and I think Besser Block Mail Box would have to be it, by Tamam Shud, Zen and the Art of Geocache Maintenance and the two above would be up there as well.
I did manage to find 250+ caches in the 5 days I had caching in Adelaide, and would like to thank Astro and Freddo for taking me on a night cache on the first day and Astro for giving me a couple of hints on some that I was stuck with.
Let me apologies for the generic log, especially if I have found more than one of your caches.

Found after a quick visit to a near by friend. Know the area really well but never knew the park was here. Geopuppy enjoyed the run while i enjoyed picking some local olives off the trees! Nice one SA ParrotHead
Gotcha!
Another morning ride cache.
How many times have I driven past here and not noticed this little park?
Thanks

Decideed to stop and have a break on our way to have lunch with our daughter and visit my mum in the Calvary Hospital. Mrs sewerv rat grew up in this area. A lovely little park. TFTC
Had me scratching my head for about 30 seconds but came up with the goods. So many cars for sale no wonder noone wants to buy mine. TFTC

Parked down the street, walked around the block, then a bit more, then the next corner. Finally!
Went straight in and picked it in the next place to look. Council had just been in to mow the lawn, so it was all nice and tidy. Never knew this spot was here, thanks for another little secret spot.

Found with Mogni and AussieM&M in a break in the rain!! Thanks SA Parrothead for the cache!!
Quick find once at GZ. This hide is well picked. Shouldn't get muggled even by unsuspecting gardeners. TFTC
Found it with vj187. Took me back to my youth when I played netball nearby. TFTC
Quickly found once nav troubles were sorted. GPS kept sending me to the street one back from main road! TFTC!
Sorry for the late logging, but here it is. The GPS took us to the street behind which wasn't really convenient. Worked out where we should be and easily found then.

Easy find in obvious spot just tucked out the way of prying eyes

Lived down here most of my life and have never noticed this park. How unobservant am I? TFTC

:O nearby canine guardians of automobiles were very enthusiastic about their jobs.
