Despite our maintenance effort this one has not been re-enabled so I am requesting it be archived.

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

Ninety-eighth of 128 finds on "The Big Adelaide Assault" in company with acts2youthgroup and HawMorFords. We thought the log book was unusable, so we had come equipped with a new one. There was a new log book in the cache already, but there was no stash note. Acts2YG had a spare one, so we put it in the cache. We found this one at 1700. I made no exchange. Thanks to Team BaggyGreens for the cache. Cheers, dak.

L.L.T.R.A.

Ninety-eight of one hundred and twenty-eight cache finds on the "The Big Adelaide Assault" the cache was found at 17:00 in company with dak's Emu Mob and HawMorFords. We found the cache with no problem at all, I brought my cache maintenance kit from the car and did complete maintenance visit on the cache, new log book, new stash note, silica gel sachets added, new bag and all damaged and useless swaps removed. Cache container is now nice and dry- A sistema may be a better option.

Thanks for the cache. Team BaggyGreens

17:00 - Find #98 of 128 on our Big Day's Caching in the company of dak's Emu Mob and acts2youthgroup.

We found the cache quickly but it was water effected and pretty grubby. A2YG completed a maintenance run and his log will provide the details in due course.

Thanks to Team BaggyGreens for the cache.

The duck pond is drying out, it has been hot for days, weeks, but the cache is STILL wet and the contents are slimy! The first log book is thow out able in its little plastic pack. I dried out as mauch as I could and put all non soggy swaps in plastic bag with current, still damp log book)
Need a new container or to move the position to a slightly drier spot.

FINALLY.......AFTER 4 tries!! First two were muggle thwarted and the third try at night had the torch die. But at each try the GPS was could not make up its mind where to settle. Thanks to C.A.S. for a hint. Even so it was still nearly a no find. Just as I was about to give up a likely looking lid caught my eye and..YES!

The Duck pond is drying out....(receding heaps!!) but the cache is still VERY WET!
T: Compass and marble and left croc to suit this wet spot and peg to dry out your swaps! (only two things in my bag of tricks that I knew would stand up to the wet!)
Hope your seeking is muggle free!

Found by Mary & David at 0945. Lovely spot! A novelty for us to smell cut green grass coming from Melbourne with its Stage 3 water restrictions. Plenty of ducks, too. TNLN. Our thanks to Team BaggyGreens.

Grabbed some lunch and sat down to enjoy the surrounds. Surprised the ducks didn't come over to investigate/bed for food ... probably already overfed. Found cache secure but contents and orginal log book still very damp. Unfortunatley today was not good drying weather. TNLN Thanks TBG

Easy find on my second attempt (too many muggles on first go). This cache is badly in need of some maintenance, the container is not waterproof and was completely full of water with all the contents being soaked. I left a new logbook in a new ziplock bag so future finders may have a dry logbook to write in, but there are no guarantees.

Found the spot but couldn't do anything as too many muggles around. Oh well, have to come back another day.

Decided to revisit this cache as I thought it was an appropriate spot for the travel bug "adventure island". The cache was filled with water most likely because of the storm on the weekend. I emptied out the water but the contents are still soaked. Couldn't sign the log as it also had been soaked.

Our first cache and we found it without a GPS. Little miss MODU found it easily with directions from mr MODU, while mrs MODU looked on. Unbelieving Teenage Mutant Ninja Muggle With Attitude was left at home, she doesnt have the bug yet. This looks like a lot of fun, will have to get that GPS soon now. left small compass took Knuckle bone TFTC.
aussie MODU.

found with the two youngest members of polkys quest. this was our second visit and found after a short search.

Looked for 1/2 hour but couldn't find it. A tied two year old didn't help but the ducklings made up for a no find. Will try again soon.

And the mumma duck said quack, quack , quack, quack and the the 2 little cachers came back. Lovely spot and fun feeding the ducks. Thanks and everyone be sure to bring some duck food.
Cheers and thanks for the cache.

Found at 8:00 PM, a night find. Kids, dads, cars, muggles galore. Good hide but gave us a lot of trouble to find.
TNLNSL Tanx TBG

Quick and easy. Took a snake-in-a-box and left a buffy watch.

Another lovely area, unfortunately no food for the ducks with us. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Found while still part of Beaker's Bunch.
Thanks

Another nice and easy find. Mini muggles busy feeding ducks weren't at all bothered by us.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Nice location. Found cache rather easily as it was in the most likely location near the coordinates. Surprisingly no muggles were there.

A great find after a long look. It was really obvious in the end. T: Silver necklace and glow earrings and left enough to match that. TFTC

Took a while to find but once we found it it was worth it-got a travel bug from it.

Should have believed the GPSr when we first got there, because there it was! Poodle-Smoodle had it half logged before she let on that she found it! Found with Poodle-Smoodle and Pryor. TFTC

(Number 50)
Like TeamHurtle, spotted the cache before reaching GZ. Nice park. TNLNSL. TFTC!

A nice cache. You never know what you'll find in the 'burbs. Bit cool for swimming anyway.
TFTC

Nice easy find, loaded with goodies.
T: Super dog toy
L: Pair of small glowsticks.

Also Dropped off "Bouncing Around Australia" TB. Had for a wekk now, took to the zoo, decided it was time for the tigger to move on.

TFTH - Nice area.

Was walking to the tricky hiding location when I noticed I had walked straight past it.
Quick find although it was tricky to find a piece of un-pooped -on lawn to sit on.

A very nice park on a busy road, no-onee would want to see me swimming here! Saw cache from about 5m away. Nice hide though.
Left a patch TNSL
Thanks TBG

Impossible to swim here tonight, but the ice skating would have been fun. Forgot my skates.

Thanx Baggy’s, clear skies, TeamAstro.

Found on a drizzly night with virgin caching crew, jfer and myself. No writing tool, so didn't record entry. TNLN Cheers!

found with Team Willy Wallies after having a wrong number previously

Took TB
and a koala wearing a hat

left fighting dog dude, and toy camal

Well this was a little harder as there is a fair amount of foot traffic on a Sunday afternoon and it seems as if there is a waiting list to feed the ducks as one lot would leave another would arrive..

The funny thing is a little girl with her german shepard walked past (while mum fed the ducks) and asked us what we were looking for.. but for her inquiring mind a few moments later the dog decided to chase the ducks and you guessed it pulled the little girl in well mum came running and that got rid ot those pesky mugglers..

T: Frog
L: Necklace

TFTF

Timed this one perfectly between the muggles - suprising giving it was a beautiful Sunday.

We had just placed a cache 995 metres away, and thought we find this on the way home to log it. Easy find, Barra4 wanted to go into the tunnel.

Cheers from The Barramundi's

Pleasant area

Found at 17.20hrs. Nice view at that time of night. We had to be carefull as there were some young muggles fishing nearby. They actually caught a fish!!. Took Wibbles Evil Micro Geocoin left Australian Wanderer TB.

A quick find thankfully, on my way into town after doing a 20 second cache that took me 3 days!!
TN left the 'Evil Micro' geocoin here.
Cheers

And they swam, and they swam, all over the pond.

My son REALLY likes ducks, very dangerous taking him here. Didn't want to leave.

Took the Key to the Heart
Will add to the pile soon

Thanks for the cache

Nice and close to home I found this one with two water-loving dogs, they couldn't read the no swimming sign. Took red racing car, left boat. Dropped off Key to the Heart TB.

As soon as I approached this one and saw the sign, I couldn’t help but laugh . Found it quickly and sat on the lawn with the ducks while I filled in the log. Took a krusty tazo thing and left a mask. Thanks TBG.

Everyone had gone out and this was very close to home, so I thought a bit of night caching was in order. Easy find, in what feels like an exposed area when looking around with a torch! Took a car, left a koala. Thanks Team BaggyGreens.

Go past here many a time but never stopped.
GPS was out a little and at first lead to a dead duck.
Widen my search a little and found.
Another nice suburban park.

A terrific GeoCoin I hope everyone gets to see it over time...

Followed Skippy over from the other cache released tonight.
Dark by the time we got there .
Out came the torch and the cache was soon in hand.
Got to be the first log for this cache.
Grabbed the Geocoin.

Who would want to swim here, Not me.
TNLN
Thanks Baggy Greens
