Was visiting my son around the corner and as I had dropped a traveller into here at Xmas time and it hadn't moved I decided to check if it still was here.

I had a good look in the fading light, but to no avail,
On the up side, if anyone wants car parts, there are 2 wheels and tyres with suspension, a fan and a bumper bar, all in good conditions dumped at GZ

Searched with previous finder Adrian Mc, but couldn't find. Had a good look around surrounding bushes with no luck.
Beautiful calm evening. Found by JP after a very brief search. Cache was lying in a very conspicuous position! Left our thoughts and then left. JP Took TB - first one eva! Will find a suitably interesting place for it to move to. Thankyou for the cache.
Found by Sammi and Grandy. We were at uncle Adams party and this was in the next street
We were at a party in the next street and someone needed to get more provisions so I volunteered to drive them on the proviso that I and one of TheTribe look for this cache on our way.
We found it easily and our friend was so intruiged by the secretness of geocaching. He couldn't spot the cache but S from TheTribe was right onto it. He was amazed there was a bike track here as he bikes everywhere and lives 2 mins away. Our muggle friend became a convert. Actually I am reasonable sure that we gained another convert back at the party as our friend was telling another couple what we had been doing and they were intruiged as well.
Thank you TheBarrumundi's for being the catalyst that got a few more players into the game.
Signed the log. Took nothing, left Berlin TB.

All quiet at the BMX, except for the lorikeets getting drunk on the blossom nectar overhead. Took the TB. Thanks Barramundi.
Mr PWC spent such a long time in his childhood at BMX tracks, with all the public insurance sagas it's great to see them still being looked after by the councils.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. My first 'after dark' find. T dog. L pterodactyl. Thanks.
Nice and quick find after waiting for some people walking their dog to pass. Replaced the pencil. If the next finder has a spare snap-lock bag please bring it. The note books aren't in one (but they are both dry). TFTC!! Wish I had a BMX.
Too hot in a record heatwave for BMX riders and Muggles. An easy find in an obvious place.
There is a pencil sharpener in the cache but no pencil.

Found the cache at 6.40pm. Enjoyed walk along to the cache and SL. Thanks The Barramundi's for organising the cache and hunt.
The joint was empty today, just vacant mounds of dirt to mark the track.
Thanks, Robmc.

Last one for the afternoon before getting a bite for tea and moving into night caching mode later. My eldest son used to race BMX. In fact he got as high as number four in Australia. Brings back memories of carting him all over and interstate for races. All seems a while back now.
Thanks for the cache and the memories.

An easy if only because the cache was completely out in the open, although apparently unharmed. Hid it as best I could although there was not a lot of cover. Thanks for the caceh.
Found 16:15, a nice quiet location today, but we can imagine that it might get quite busy on a weekend.
TNLN, CSI=2, thanks to The Barramundi's.

I'm out finding your caches and your in my front yard talking to my daughter. Thanks for the cache.
A quick trip in here to log the find. Thanks.We left a camel and a lizard and took a book and a ladybird
Thought we would stop off and do this cache on the way out.
Noticed the cache needed maintenance from the logs.
So have replaced the whole cache container and thrown old one out, Also put in new log book as the old one is just about to run out. Only problem, cache container clear, so found some black electrical tape, just enough to do the body of the cache. There was no way we could hide the cache and keep it camo'ed the way it was as container was bigger, we have moved it 1 meter, so it is still under a smaller one, life expectancy should be longer that way. Sorry didn't take new coords and not that far away.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

An easy find, although I could come up with no good reasons for hanging out by the cache, with lots of people running past on the path!
Lets just say I looked like a lurker! Needed some kids to be running around in the area!

Would love a dollar for everytime I have passed by this location, having grown up just a little further down the old train line.
The piles of dirt have been here for many years, with the local kids finally sculpturing them into jumps.
Quick find where I thought it would be, but GPSr led us astray, but then took us back. Let the mini's hunt it out as it could only be in one spot.
The pigeons really love the nearby seat, so sat on grass and signed log.
Cal enjoyed turning the plastic bag and then the lid into a kite.
Took a worm, left some stickers and replaced the plastic bag which was no longer waterproof.

Was a bit worried that this would not be a good cache to be searching for on a weekend but when we arrived there was no-one in sight. Whilst we were logging the cache we did see one woman with a dog but she stayed away from us.
The tape is coming off the cache and could probably do with some attention when you are passing (not urgent). Thanks Barras

Actually found this a couple of weeks ago after attending Test Dummies, but forgot to log it back then. Whoops!
Hey went looking for this one with my dad he was telling me about caching and before he said anything else i snapped it up and headed back to the car to log my visit. [:p] P.S Sorry for the late log.

1st of 32 finds for the day while waiting for my plane and also my 1800th find. At 7am there was little chance of BMX bandits so I got off to an easy start here. TNLN thanks barramundies.
Found at 12:15PM on the 8th of June by Maya and Ray. We are in Adelaide for the 2007 Aust National Square Dancing Convention and we have a free day today till 7:00PM when the action starts again, so we are enjoying the caches in the local area. Fourth for the day, we got off to a late start. TNLN. Thanks from The Nomads.
third for the day had to wait until nightfall as bmx track was being used. I don't know how as the track needs serious maintenance

Found this one on ANZAC Day on a trip to Adelaide from the ACT to give a couple of golfing lessons to a relative...
Brought geomum along for this cache - We drove past my old house in Fitzroy Avenue, Camden Park whilst we were in the area!!! What a blast from the past. I used to think it was a big house... noooooo!
Made use of the mobile phone wandering concept to get this one back into its hiding spot, until some muggles ceased to hang around.
took nothing, left spider

My final Adelaide cache for this trip. What a weekend it has been....
75 or so caches logged
351km's driven or walked.
Beer was drank. I wobbled.
Pepsi Max and Coke Zero was drank. I did not wobble.
Much fast food, that was sometimes SLOW food was eaten. (At least it was hot!)
A fine dinner was had and some most excellent dining company was had.
Some video was shot.
A cacher was strangled.
Another faced his fears.
I got to remove a metal object from a budgies butt, and replace it, and was not arrested for it.
I racked up my 1000th find, though not quite how I expected.
I saw a lot of good caches, and some sad and needing TLC.
I made some new friends.
I wandered the streets late at night, and failed to have a coopers bottle, well, don't ask.
I slept on the plane coming home.
I saw much of Adelaide.
I totally had an awesome time and I owe it all to ABOWIE. My friend YOU rock!
Oh, I signed the log of this cache and headed for my flight.
Goodbye Adelaide, and thanks for all the fish!

Found the cache. It looks fine but the BMX track is in need of repair. It has deteriorated badly since we last visited it. Get the bobcats back!
First attempt foiled by muggles and their mutts. Easy find second time around. What is it about a few wet drips falling from the heavens that keeps everybody indoors? TFTC
Seventh of 14 finds on the way to Adelaide Airport in company with acts2youthgroup. We found this one at 1000. Fortunately, there were no BMXers about, so we could search, undisturbed. That type of cache container doesn't usually fare well in the great outdoors, and this one has succumbed to the elements. The lid is cracked, and the black tape has lost its usefulness. Needs maintenance. I made no exchange. Thanks to The Barramundis (BTW, you don't use an apostrophe to indicate a plural ) for the cache. Cheers, dak.
Eighth of Fifteen cache finds on day four of the "The Big Adelaide Assault" the cache was found at 10:00 in company with dak's Emu Mob. HawMorFords had left us and we had a few more hours to kill before our flight so off we went to get a few more. Wow these jumps were huge; this was a nice quick find.

With the day heating up the Coffee's were on the move and this cache was next on our list. After arriving at the cache location it was an easy walk to the GZ. The cache was found easily by Michael yet again and after logging the find we headed off for more caching adventures.
Many thanks to the Barramundi's for a quick and fun cache.

Think the heat today scared off the muggles, none in site, a nice easy find on a hot day.
Went for a morning bike ride to find this one. There was no one on the jumps and they were way to scary for me. TNLN TFTC
Found very quickly in first spot I looked. Cache was a little empty was didnt take anything but left
- tweety head
- mini sharpie pen
- skizm card
Nice spot.
We should thank the Geocaching Gods for computer games as it was a georgeous Sunday evening when we hit this one and not a sole was in sight - TFTC
Nice spot, went for a ride tonight to look for this.
