Sadly this cache has not been found for over 12 months with 4 recent DNFs. Can CO or previous finder please confirm if the cache still exists? Thank you.
 
30-Oct-14
as this one has gone missing again, it is with much sadness that we are now archiving this cache, this now frees up the spot for another cache,
Cheers,
Mark/Gayle

Pretty sure I calculated the correct coords but couldn't see it after searching for 15 mins.
 
03-Jun-14
A great spot.
Sadly, no cache was found.

EPIC FAIL. Twisted
 
04-Jan-14
Ismartis and I looked high, low, in, from above and below and could not find the cache. Could be we were getting tired, could be it was night, could be its gone. Our last cache attempt for the evening. So off to home we went.
 
04-Jan-14
Visiting here with Knightyme, we did our calculations and then went exploring the lake and its structure. He valiantly volunteered to do the knee thing whilst I remained on 2 legs but we both had a very good look in many many places but left empty handed. Not sure if this one is still here. TFTC Flipper&Co

TFTC - I had worked this one out some time ago, and also located the cache at GZ, but have always been foiled by the many muggles in the area.

Today was all good as i managed to log the visit in between the few muggles out walking etc.
 
That took positively ages. Of course it didn't help that my geomonkeys with me. Just as I was getting down and dirty they both started screaming thus drawing attention to me. Red Face I don't think they'll be coming with me again. Signed the log and was about to replace the cache when Bacon8100 and Winston approached! It was lovely to meet him. TFTC
 
11-Jul-13
After being slightly off with co-ords, we tried with the correct digits & got it without a hitch.

Gotcha!


Finding the first WP was pretty straight forward, but the final had me beat.


Searching in the dark always makes it hard, but so does searching in the wrong area.


I was not far out, but a previous finder was able to turn me around and have me looking in the right direction. So second time around, in the dark again, the cache was found surprisingly quickly!


Thanks


ZZzz..

It took 2 shots but finally got it good hide TFTC FLIPPER&CO Smile
 
05-May-13
Finally found the little blighter, as we were looking for something a lot bigger as was indicated. I think it needs to be updated FLIPPER&CO Smile
 
27-Apr-13
Very creative hide
 
23-Mar-13
I tried here some indeterminately long time ago, but it was offline or maybe I didn't solve the puzzle. Anyway, I came by today and found it fairly quickly after doing some laps of the structure for OSM purposes.
Had to get down and dirty to reach it, but as the water is down a fair way, that was easy. Put it in ascot where it can be reached from above.
NB no longer a regular sized container, so couldn't drop a largish Trackable coin in it.
 
17-Mar-13
Had the coords for this one about a month back when we were at the playground with the kids. Finally returned today to make a find. Definitely not a size 3 though! Someone might need to update it to be a micro. Coords were spot on for us though. Smile TFTC. SL. Smile
 
24-Jan-13
Took the scenic route, the replacement cache was smaller than I anticipated. great spot for families.

Found with Arthur and ttrogg, very hot out today, so it was nice to get the quick find. Thanks Flippers.
 
03-Jan-13
I'd uncovered this multi many, many months ago after going the back way home and discovering this massive lake by accident..
Armed with a photo of the sign, I solved the cache at home later that night but not managed to return.
I'd taken the geosquidlets for a wander right the way around so we walked past the back of the pony club (I'm guessing this is where the name of the cache comes from?) Smile
After seeing this close to home cache back online, locus headed up for a quick adventure...
We went straight in tonight, so I didn't check the new hints/clues etc..
Locus went one side, I went the other, she read out something about getting down or low or something but while she was closest, I'd already spotted it..
A bit of help from a go-go-gadget-arm and we signed the log.
I corrected ttrogg's log date of 03/01/12 and made it 2013 Wink
We were oohing and aahing over the eight baby ducks peeping away and just enjoyed the scenery for a while before moving on!
This is a gorgeous piece of land, deep in suburbia, isn't it?!
Smile
Thanks FLIPPER&co for the cache & to DarknFlipper for the replacement
 
03-Jan-13
~*KittyKat*~ rang while I was still at work..... apparently this cache was back online! Cool

So after work, I headed for her house where she again proceeded to kidnap me for what was meant to be 'just one cache.' Wink

That one became two for me! Wink

We both oloved the ducklings swimming near GZ, too! Smile

SL. TFTC FLIPPER&CO Smile
 
03-Jan-13
After many visits, and thinking we got the sums wrong. We contacted the owners and found that we had the right location... after confirming it was defiantly missing, we went up this morning to place the replacement and claim the find.. A well deserved one I might add.. know this location a little to well lol.


Thanks for the cache Flipper's and bringing me back to this location heaps hahaha Very Happy
 
03-Jan-13
Found the replacmemt cache Smile been here too many times recently. Very happy to have this cache going again Very Happy thanks flipper@co and thanks darknstormy for replacing Smile
 
03-Jan-13
Great to finally get a smilie in this location.
Thanks for the cache FLIPPER&CO
and DarknStormy for the replacement
 
03-Jan-13
ttrogg dropped by saying "there's a new old one, let's go".
It was too hot for muggles, even the ducks were in the shade, so log was quickly signed.
TFTC FLIPPER&CO and TFTR DarknStormy
 
02-Jan-13
After having a chat with the owners, and checking the location a few times it was confirmed it was missing... Today I have replaced it with owners permission... Extra hint... Elbow
 
02-Jan-13
So does this make the cache Pegasus III? Wink
 
24-Dec-12
I had come here once before and spent quite some time looking, to no avail Sad
After speaking to current CO some time ago, I came back for another look tonight.
The water level was down today and so I even went as far as to crawl underneath, again to no avail! Sad
I am really starting to think that there is no cache here but then again, I have been known to be wrong before Wink
 
24-Dec-12
Could of saved u a trip Locus if you read my previous log :p.

I was told exactly where to look she's deff not there... I have not containers atm.. so it needs to wait a week.
 
24-Dec-12
I have been a little slack... went there today and climbed under the structure and found nothing, she is defiantly missing... next time I go I shall place a replacement if the flippers don't beat me to it.

Same result as Darknstormy. Spent lots of time on our knees, but no result. Sad. Will keep an eye on logs, as seems to be one that people have trouble finding.
 
19-Aug-12
Check and recheck coords. Landed at area that suited. Looked all spots possible but no luck today Sad.. will watch cache for other finders.

26-Jun-12
The signs are no longer faded Smile
All *shiney* and new now Smile
I accidentally found this place a few weeks ago and opened the geo app, as you do.... And this popped up!
Glorious weather for a day out with the geomonkeys!
We walked right around the lake with the tiny monkey in the stroller (great walking paths), and checked out the playground on the way out Smile
Popped the monkeys in bed and sorted out the clues..
Needed to read, and re-read clue D as I was over analyzing the clue, and under analyzing the sign lol
Realized where I was going wrong, and the co-ords I ended up with are in line with the logs.... Will swing by when I get time to check out GZ.
I'll take a loaf of bread for the friendly locals who were pinching the yo-yo biscuits from our hands today Smile
Funny thing was, as I wandered around today, I walked "here" and thought "hmmmmm"... I should've had a look Smile
 
26-Dec-11
Not for me today will be back.
 
14-Nov-11
Got down on hands and knees and searched until knees cried ENOUGH. Even went on stomach to check uphill and decided that getting wet was probably not a good idea so left disappointed, maybe next time.
 
22-Mar-11
We had wandered around looking for this one before but by the time we got to near GZ the geokid was not in the mood for caching anymore and this one definitely needed more than a quick look around! So we came back fresh today and just when we were nearly ready to call this one too hard for us to find we came at it from the right angle and the cache was in our sights. After a big of jiggling around it was soon in our hands too.
The log was a little damp but still able to be signed. Thanks for a great walk around a nice area - we also saw the rat family and the geo baby was almost nibbled upon by an overfriendly horse. Overall a great caching morning out!
 
06-Mar-11
Yes the cache is still there, a nice stroll through a lovely park, was spending the day caching with Mrs Flipper and was fortunate enough to be on hand with the owner doing a cache check, on the way back we spotted a family of rats, playing by the water TFTC
 
19-Jan-11
This cache has me stumped! I have been a number if times now and it frustrates me! Can someone please give me another clue before I rip my hair out! Lol
 
15-Jan-11
We got down on our knees, we stuck our hands everywhere we could and still we couldn't find it.

Maybe Next Time
 
15-Jan-11
It's great when things work out in your favour. I was able to find two other caches in between starting and finding this cache. The final for this cache was also on the way back to where my car was parked.

I spent a few minutes looking for the cache at GZ, keeping half an eye on some nearby muggles while I was at it.

Dropped off 'Lord of the Caches - Fire Geocoin 2'

Thanks for the cache Flippers.
 
06-Jan-11
Found it finally - last time we look the water was up to high! TNLN - No pen to sign log book but managed to come up with something. TFTC. Saucehead (and Brodie for his first find ever! and couldnt have done it without his boat)
 
02-Jan-11
Great afternoon for a ride around the lake. Dropped off 2 trackables, was a bit of a squeeze, but I am sure they will get relieved of their cramped accomodation soon enough. TFTC.
 
27-Nov-10
Nice Cache hide. Took marble left torch. Thanks Flipper and Co for a very easy to work out Multi
 
17-Nov-10
Another part of the world I didn't know existed. TFTC

29-Oct-10
Lovely park. Enjoyed the walk to GZ.. TFTC
 
22-Oct-10
No muggles around today as it was overcast and threatening rain. Found it but it required kneeling in the mud before work which resulted in very dirty knees. Left geocoin, took nothing. Thanks for the cache.
 
21-Oct-10
Very easy to get the coordinates for the second waypoint (isn't it amazing that councils always focus on what you can't do) unfortunately once we got to the GZ we didn't have any luck, tried looking for cache from "both sides" of structure. At knee height and laying down (one side only though) no luck and LOTS of muggles! Need to do this one again when less muggles out I think.
 
14-Oct-10
TNLNSL TFTC
 
30-Jul-10
Spotted the cache from the other side of the "structure", and had to get on my back to reach it, as it had been pushed in too far to feel and reach for, on ya knees. A wet and mugless day, took the Rubics PT, left Roo. TFTC.
 
31-May-10
Found at 3:18 PM after two previous attempts and significant help from Flipper & Co. Mind you we had been looking in the right place, just not hard enough. Just as we retrieved the cache several mini-muggles appeared on the horizon from the nearby school so processing had to be done very quickly.
TNLN
TFTC
 
16-May-10
Found the clues easily enough and set off to find the cache with Gemini7, searched for a while, a lot of muggles around so difficult to get "on ya knees". Walked back to where we had lunch and tried again later, found by Gemin7 spotted from above. Sneaky hide Flipper & Co.
Taken : Flipper Pathtag
Left : Crock from Qld

Thanks Fliipper for the cache and hunt.
 
16-May-10
We almost gave up with this one. Roma123 and I searched our hearts out. It was very difficult to get into it being a beautiful sunny Sunday everyone decided to take a walk in the park around this lovely lake. We walked back to our picnic spot to get reinforcements. With four of us now searching we eventually had success.! Thank goodness we felt we earned it. What a great surprise when we opened it to find some beautiful pathtags in it. Made it all worthwhile. Swapped pathtags re-hid it all without being seen. Thanks for the challenge.
 
08-May-10
Back in action
 
28-Apr-10
sorry to have to put this one offline for a while.

There is a person going around asking for hints to find this cache, this person has been a member for 6 months and to this date has not logged one cache!!

we think this is very strange, we have even asked him to look for this one AFTER he has a few finds under his belt, but he is insistant on finding this one, he has not indicated to us in any way on jusy WHY he needs to locate it. He has even gone to the trouble to email past finders for hints and has emailed us asking where it is!!!!
So, Mark went up to GZ late last night and retrieved the cache, it is now at home sitting on the computor desk until further notice


Sorry guys,

MARK/GAYLE

Jeez, this area has changed a lot since December 2008 when we first looked for this cache! We did this in two separate stages so it was straight to GZ today, with no Pegasi sighted (but we did have a pat the first time we visited). A much better hide than the last one, we've been told. Nice to see it back online again, TFTC Flipper&Co.
 
10-Apr-10
Was planning a trip for next week when I saw this had pathtags in it.....couldnt wait til next week so quickly took off to find a few tonight.

What a lovely park.

Saw where we thought it would be, walked over and went to the searching.....nope.....nope.....nope......I CAN SEE IT........but cant reach it.......
finally had it in hand, signed and put back.

Thankyou so much Smile
 
07-Apr-10
working out WP1 was easy GZ stumped us for about 10 mins before found. took GC left keyring
 
18-Mar-10
Nice hide. TFTC
 
14-Mar-10
Great spot. Love finding these hidden gems. Had to wait for muggles to finish feeding the ducks and then signed the log. T.F.T.C.
 
08-Mar-10
Great hide, good to finally log this one. Took pathtags, left small swaps, signed log. TFTC
 
06-Mar-10
Lots of muggles around today and we found it just before the rain on our hands and knees.Took Mr Pete coin and left lettuce go geocacing coin. TFTC.
 
01-Mar-10
An easy find and lovely walk on a cool monday morning.
Placed geo coin Joe Cocker meets Mr Pete.
TFTC
 
27-Feb-10
Was greated today to the sound of mini jet boats. After being amused at the retreval device for when it runs out of fuel. The muggles viewing the boats left and allowed us to retrieve when the boat was out and running. The boat was a great decoy. TFTC thanks for adopting. Left ozmega mckee clan PT took rosella PT
 
23-Feb-10
Coin dip
 
23-Feb-10
Nice hide and nice camo. Been wanting to get this one off the list for about 12 months. Pleasant walk around the park on a sunny afternoon. Took a Flipper pathtag. TFTC
 
23-Feb-10
Finally able to cross this one off as well. Especially great as we frequently walk and jog around here.

20-Feb-10
As the original hider, I am quite happy for this to disappear if it needs to. Thanks Flipper&Co for the maintenance since I left Adelaide.

It's a great spot with lots of good hiding spots for others to do something, I was originally thinking of being nasty and choosing the island for the location!
 
19-Feb-10
Second to Adrian's log. There hasn't been a cache here since before we first searched in December 2008, and it's a great spot for a cache. Please free it up Smile
 
19-Feb-10
Had some glitches this end, but this is not dissapearing, have a new cache, just need to get our printer working so some stash notes can be done and we'll have this one up and running in a new hidey spot.
paitence, it is going to be back.
Gayle & Mark
 
30-Jan-10
After having been to feed the ducks again today and still no cache back in place I request this one be archived so that someone else can use the spot. Namely me, as I have a good idea for a cache here.
 
02-Dec-09
"works" are virtually all finished.
I take my kids here to feed the ducks so have been watching the progression of the improvements around the lake.
There are now a few better spots to hide this cache so the multi may need rejigging.
 
02-Dec-09
We've been, we've sussed, we've re-built, now just need to re-jig the numbers and put it all back in place.
Gayle & Mark
 
01-Nov-09
we have checked this cache out, just as soon as the "works" have been completed, we will put this one back online.

Sorry for any inconvieniance.

Cheers from the FLIPPERS,

Gayle/Mark
 
18-Jul-09
The Horse has flown the coupe, will have to re-jig this one when we get a chance to scope out the area.
 
18-Jul-09
Look forward to seeing what development is going on. Are they turning the horse paddocks into more housing? Can't imagine them being that close to the lake though where the cache is..
 
18-Jul-09
As i live only a stones through away - thought i would check this one as have found it previous.
There has been a lot of construction around the area with srubs cleared.
It is safe to say that this one will need to be taken off line.
 
21-Jun-09
Agree with others
 
02-May-09
With the previous DNFs and the time between finds, I think it's pretty safe to say this one needs checking...
 
28-Mar-09
Geoson wanted to run his remote control boats so we decided to kill 2 birds with one stone (no animals were harmed in carrying out this) and give this cache a go as well.
Like the last couple of lookers, we came up empty handed as well. It didn't help when our GZ coords (checked and rechecked a couple of times) were just in the water (as confirmed by Google Earth when we got home).
 
28-Mar-09
nice walk - looked for 20 mins or so but no joy.
 
14-Mar-09
No joy on this one. The bushes are suffering from the lack of water as they give very little cover. No sign of the cache. On the bright side I did come across the Pegususes. They seemed quite content in thier paddock.
 
13-Dec-08
This is the second time we've been here now, and again, we couldn't find it, even after searching for over half an hour. From all the clues we've worked out from previous logs, and from what we worked out from the first stage, we were positive we were in the right area, but even after searching every nook and cranny, we still turned up nothing...
 
09-Nov-08
A nice multi in a pleasant little park. After gathering the info I decided that I would walk right around the lake.
The cache too some finding but I got there and on the way back I saw three young girls feeding carrots to the horses.
A nice cache all round.
Thanks
TNLN
 
19-Oct-08
Quite a busy day today. The warmer weather certainly brings the muggles out. Easily solved and quickly found. TNLN, TFTC.
 
02-Sep-08
What a beaut billabong to be wandering around Smile
There were plenty of muggles hanging around the first waypoint but for once they were not a problem as the new coordinates guided me to a much more cacher friendly side of the lake Big Grin
Found after a few minutes of scratching around. TFTC.
 
21-Aug-08
Took 2 visits to find this one... but i did find it [:d]
 
14-Jul-08
Went geo-caching today with goingtheredoingthat. We were both down in Adeladie for a few days and decided to do some caching togther while we were there!!

I used to frequently walk around this lovely lake when I lived in Golded Grove. I was dissappointed not to find this one. The 3 of us spent quite a while searching - but couldnt find it.
 
11-Jun-08
Accompanied with Everlasting ane Joan. We enjoyed our brief walk towards the cache. I left TB "Jumping Joey".
Thanks Flipper&co for the cache. Smile
 
11-Jun-08
Accompanied with Lava12 and Joan, We enjoyed walk along to the cache. No swap. SL. Thanks Flipper&Co for organising the cache and hunt.
 
Nice day by the lake took about half an hour to find this one, well hidden to avoid the numerous muggles that frequent the area. TNLNSL TFTC TCBW
 
25-May-08
Made 2 visits today with small GeoCousins, couldn't find it.
Nice friendly Pegasi to chat to, but no joy!
 
23-May-08
Find 254 without a GPS at 2.00pm
Easily found it was partly exposed, but now covered with a little leaf litter.
Took the telephone note book. (it will soon be a log book in a new cache)
Left $50 keyring
Thanks richary and flipper & co
Found on first visit to final location
 
17-May-08
Found our first cache. Enjoyed the walk with the family. Funny enough we only live a stones through away from the lake.
Left Rodgers property - took ninja turtle
 
12-May-08
Lovely place, a pleasant walk around the lake on Monday morning. Bad satloc puts GZ in the water but, thanks to the clue, found it without too much trouble.

L: phone book
T: skull keyring
