Logs
Knew the cache had been archived due to problems with it, but also knew it was still in-situ as others have logged since (although they wouldn't have been able to sign the log book).
Finally going past today and found that the cache wasn't just waterlogged, but had been muggled, with contents strewn around by the creek.
Found the lid, pages of the logbook (which I'll try to dry out - email me if you want it), broken pencils, a plastic logbook bag, a rusty pencil sharpener, and some other stuff which now looked like crappy rubbish, but I suspect was once swaps. Base could not be located, but I suspect it has floated down stream.
Gathered all the bits up, along with some other rubbish and removed; and since removal has been binned.
An interesting little spot.
This will be the final smiley for this cache now.
Thanks Team Willy Wallies and Scouts_Honour for your original placement, I'm sure everyone who came enjoyed the little spot.
Cheers

Didnt record in log book as the cache has been damaged by water. Needs attending to.
found while walking dogs EDDIE & JAKE TNLN as every thing in cache is wet, great spot this time of the year, creek running the boys decided to go for a swim ! to good a spot to archive.
Found it relatively quickly, but needs maintenance. Completely waterlogged (including log book).
Creek ran a 'banker' above hight of cache earlier in week.

Found on August 7 but didn't log the find then - just the fact that it was wet and soggy. Couldn't sign log.
Wet wet wet. Needs new log books and maybe a care instruction on how to put the log awat to keep it dry.
Hide was fine with a layer of water in the container which would not have hurt the swaps but damaged the logs.

The cache is rather wet, log book is unreadable as its full of water. There was an inch of water in the bottom of the cache
Found it ok but unfortunately container has water in it and everything very soggy.
Easily found but the cache is completely soaked and needs attention (as per other logs). We drained out the water but thats only atemporaryfix.
Came along with my son and my daughter
To find this cache all filled up with water
Some muggle was careless
Just lights-on-upstairless!
A maintenance log now I oughta

Some mug has pulled this cache out, had a look and left it with the lid off. Completely filled with water. Everything totally soaked, new log book will be required, old ones still (just) legible. Drained and replaced the cache where it looks like it had usually been hidden, but it needs attention.
We have been watching this cache for a long time & is in serious need of maintenance but neither of the owners has been on since 2008. The location of the cache is also causing damage to the local environment each time it's visited as it's on the edge of a waterway. We have tried to contact both owners in the past re this cache without response.
Found by Mrs 4evermore on way to visit Granny in nursing home nearby.
Muggles zooming by so logged, swapped and out of there quickly.

At 16.30h, it was number 2 for the local newbies. I think at least one of them is hooked! Took - Nothing. Left - IKEA pencil & TB Ferdinand Frog & TB Alien Racer #3. TFTC
It was a bit slippery tonight. Walked straight past it the first time. Took Triceratops and left USB PS2 adapter. Thanks!
Walked along the riverbed before remembering something about a geohighway in the logs, then saw the location straight away. The trail and cache location have become pretty well-worn over the years. Covered the cache with some leaf camo after tucking it back into the hiding spot. TFTC.
Great one to find with the geo-kids. Lots of places to explore.
Took: Whistle. Left: Styracosaurus.

A busy area and started looking in the wrong spot but soon worked out the right path. Didn't have my GPS with me so had to scout around.
After a bit of scratching around found it.

Jagged an overtime shift at Golden Grove Fire Station today so it allowed me to do some of the caches out that way. A quick find on dusk. TNLNSL.
GPS was jumping around a bit so the find took a while. Recent rains have wet the cache contents a little. TFTC
The creek was bubbling away and was quite deep near GZ so I was careful not to fall in
After a couple of false starts I eventually found the correct way into GZ and began my search for the cache.
Found without too much poking around I'm happy to say
The inside was a bit wet, but the important bits of the cache were still dry
I signed the book and removed a few items that were never going to recover from the drenching.

Eventually zeroed in on this one and made it past the spider web. No sign of the flip flop TB but left NZ Fern geocoin. TFTC
Found easily the gpsr settled down. No swaps or muggles today. Drained water out of cache. These boxes are notoriously leaky!

contents - ie swaps are all a bit soggy. Drained cache, but might need a new and more watertight container. Logs safe and dry in the baggy.
Found the cache at Accompanied with Lava12. What pity - river is dry no water... Took Trevor Trout TB. SL. Thanks Team Willy Wallies and Scouts_honour for organising the cache and hunt.
No another TB - "Far Flung Flip Flop" in the cache...

2nd find of the day - cache is starting to get a bit damp and mouldy - we didnt have anything to dry it out with sorry. TFTC. Saucehead, Lulu and ATG. TNLN
Found at 6:00PM by Ray and Maya on the 25th of Dec as we walk off the excess food we have consumed today. Unfortunately the container was full of water. We drained it and dried the contents as best we could. The log book was dry enough to record in. TNLN. Thanks for the walk. The Nomads

7:53 p.m. This cache was found on our record-breaking attempt to find the most caches in a 24 hours period; we ended up finding 195 all up.
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.

Ignoring all of that, relatively simple find. TFTC

took r f d s tb, definetly no far flung flip flop in the cache .... daughter found 1x toy next to cache location, maybe it has fallen out during a night find. it was to busy for me to investigate further.
Took a while to find this one. Mrs S stayed on the other bank and watched. Discovered TB.
Thanks Team Willy Wallies.
Thanks Team Willy Wallies.
visited today and left a TB. picked up a key ring. couldn't see any TB in the cache before we left one.
Lots of tracks around those bushes - the neighbours must wonder what all the attention is about. Thanks for the cache!
Nice easy find and an interesting hide, took skirt for geo girl and left an aray of small toys, a compass and some stationary. TFTC SL
Found by snorky with help from little snorky. The cache is a bit full and the lid is hard to close. Nice little area with good parking nearby. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.
We have sent an email to Scouts Honour re the geotrail as Team willy Wallies have not responded to previous emails & logs.
Easy find by FF1 - geo highways now have parking bays! Sad stuff. Cache was also pretty well exposed so we replaced it with a bit more camo. TNLNSL TFTC
Find 59 without a GPS at 3.30pm
A great little spot for a cache
Well done Willy Wallies

Wee Jock and the Kelda found this one while the rest of the clan were still in bed, the slackers Took a bit of scrambling at first but then we took a step back and noticed a fairly obvious clue
Took travel bug (our first!!!), highlighter and lizard. Left foamies, skirt and sticky tape. Couldn't sign log as the pen didn't work and the log is quite damp
Will be relocating TB in the immediate future
Thanks guys for a quick local cache to keep the awake ones occupied while the rest slept

Found it fairly easily thanks to the geotrails, but had to let muggle geokid with us "Find" it as she wanted to find one herself so I kind of led her in the right direction and said you look under here while I look over there..... Took TB Diabetes and swapped money 90cents for a car. TFTC
Found this cache on my trip with Cooroy Scouts to SA for our final RDMH requirements.
