We Are Not Emused! Bowden, South Australia, Australia
By Nomad Penguin on 22-Sep-06. Waypoint GCYF36

There has been extensive gardening renovations here, possibly as part of the nearby Bowden Village development. There does not appear to be an immediate suitable relocation site, so I am going to archive this one.

Thanks to all that looked for this cache .

Unfortunately the local council has done a great job removing nearly all bushes in this reserve over the past few days and with it the geo-cache. No sign of it now.

Found after a rare working on a saturday day in the city,took homer tb...TFTC

Found with Geocats23 and Groobsdter whilst out cycling together today. Loved the emus. Havent logged for ages - having a catch-up day today. TYFTC

We were running early for a meeting nearby so what do you do - go find the nearest cache! We thought the nearby artwork and cache namesake was great and the cache was quickly found which meant we were still able to be on time for our meeting. TFTC

Found with Bigblueal and Devilslilsister

Found with Norfbiartch and Bigblueal took puppet now named Jeffrey - left medal TFTC!

Huh, a wombat.
Took nothing, but left a pen and some heaps free freshness.

We were not amused by the furry animal hand puppet in the cache. Geez, I thought it was a dead rat at first.
Thanks for the cache, it was slightly exposed so tried to cover as best I could

Not hidden much at all, tried to cover a bit more. Easy one.

Nice little park easily missed! Thanks

It was our first Geocashe find. The kids loved it. We're now hooked and looking for the next one.

Noticed that a few people .. like me .. have stomped around before reading the hint.

An easy find on a quiet public holiday morning, no muggles around this spot, although I left a large number of them with the family at the major venue down the road. Thanks nomad penguin for a nice walk and find. TFTC

Dropped Mum off at the airport and then made a long slow trip home to pick up caches along the way. Found by torchlight. Luckily there were no muggles around. Thanks for the cache.

Sorry,no joke today.Not feeling punny! Left orange golf ball,took eraser.

Found this one a bit tricky, but got it eventually. TFTC

Sixth find of the day with Cranas. Mrs Cranas and I chatted with a mum playing in the park with toddler son and 3 canine babies, distracting her as Mr LB & Mr Cranas searched for the cache. She got a little suss so we gave her a quick and dirty explanation of geocaching and she was both fascinated and happy for us to continue. The boys located it without much ado, and we took a photo of the Steel City babes travel bug with the emu prior to dropping it in. Will try to upload that soon.
Oh, the boys felt a little pressure to perform today as I have been working in this street for a few weeks and often sit there having my lunch, unaware there was a cache on location, and they were under strict instructions to find it or I ould be tortured every day knowing one was still there undiscovered. Thankfully, I don't have to worry!
TN L Travel bug, SL, TFTC.

A fairly quick find today after an event at the Entertainment Centre. TFTC TNLS

found at 18.06 one of 35 for the day! tftc

Out Caching with Muggle friends who like caching with me but sadly not enough to do it themselves.
1st one for my current company and they loved it.
My eldest cub found it though then ran off to ride the big metal 'goose' nearby!

Nice emus. TFTC

Geokid reckons it's ok treasure hunting when you get to play on so many playgrounds! TFTC. Took superball, left badge.

I don't know if this is the exact date but for some unknown reason this cache isn't logged. i am trying to check the correct date
But at the time i found this cache i also found a stash of tablets which after calling the police and then having to explain why i was were i was.
it turned out that they were a heap of weight lifting nutriments.
the police took them and then left me to the cache they had a good laugh at my expense

Great find on a cool night TFTC

Caught the new tram to the Entertainment Centre and walked up the road to grab this cache. Needed a torch but found in the second place I looked. TNLN. Thanks.

Easy find, and then I was discovered by an interested older lady walking her dog, while I was filling out the log, I explained what I was up to and she was very interested. Replaced the cache and was on my way. Cool metal work. TFTC

Thank you very much for this cache and showing the area.
Greetings, Colonel Dago from Germany

Second cache on this nice warm night no problems at 10:30 at night. Geohubby who normally has a corny joke at the ready has drawn a mental blank. We just might be sitting on the bench here for a little while until one comes to mind

Quick find the second time around after having a muggle the first time we visited. TFTC

We stopped to do this and was muggled out so left it for another day OR so I thought... Me being navigator got my wires crossed and finished up back at GZ some time later and to our surprise no muggles... A bonus for us... Thanks Nomad Penguin for the cache

Easy find. TFTC

We found this cache as part of the Gangsters Team as we had our Invasion Weekend around Adelaide. Thanks for the adventure.

2846.

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen and The Rats on our Adelaide invasion trip. We found this one quite quickly, I haven't seen one of these in the wild for a while, they used to be everywhere when I was out western NSW.

Thanks Nomad Penguin for the cache.

Found on an Adelaide Invasion in the company of Big Matt and Shell and The Rats.

A nice quick find while being watched by the local. TFTC.

An easy find to pass the time before an appointment.

very easy find thanx for the cache.

Found in the compay of the owner who handed me the container.
I thought I was doing a clever thing by Googling "penguin" and "joke" and came across this site with "clean penguin jokes". But my investigations also resulted in what appears to be a strong case of plagiarism. The joke site appears to have copied previous finders' jokes from the logs word by word without acknowledgement! Or was it the other way around? I thought that was funny. TFTC

Found tonight on a quiet Friday night after a nice dinner out.
Took: GC

Cheers Nomad and happy caching.

Nice and calm today thanks for the hide.

Found @ ~12:30, nearest cache to Entertainment Centre not found.
Took CoinPal Geocoin (mystery how it got here...) and left a superball. TFTC Cheers 'scargoes (P)

We got close but a guy was re-painting the stobie pole art near gz and he was taking his time. Why do these people come out of the wood work when we are caching ???? We will be back.

This was a very emutional time in the park when I found it!! TFTC

On a bicycling tour I wenty
To get me some caches aplenty
What a nice little park
What's that under the bark?
Today this was find 10 of 20

found and thanks. Definitely no travel bug here.

This reminded me of an old skit on some comedy show with Queen Victoria having an audience with 2 guy saying "We are a road in London, a Street in Birmingham, an avenue in Chelsea but we are not a mews" it then pans around to show them holding a street sign we Queen Victoria Mews on it.
Unfortunately, we couldn't think of anything punny to put in the log.
TFTC

Found easily, took geocoin which seems to have not been logged here. Also I didn't see the TB that's logged in here.

found at 11.43

Cool statues... had the park to myself so I found the cache straight away. TNLN. Thanks

nice very quiet park left 2 stickers TFTC

Found the cache with 4 cacherkids on a nice afternoon. Easy one. Nice area.
Now we come to my awsome joke:

A: Shall I tell you a secret about butter?

B: You'd better not. I might spread it.

TFTC

It was actually my wife and kids who found the cache and dropped of Joey. Finally he has made it. Now back to Pennsylvania.
TFTC (in my family's name).

Found this one easily and didn't write a joke in the book but here it goes.

How do penguins drink their Cola?

On the rocks

hahahahaha

Oh well thanks for the cache anyway

Last day of the month and not a single cache logged! Something had to be done, this was not acceptable!
So, convinced one of my co workers to act as a spotter for me, while I conducted my investigation. Found promptly after I chose the correct garden.

TNLNSL TFTC

In keeping with the theme:
I'd tell a joke about a pencil, but it doesnt have a point!...

Oh I feel so lame now! hehe [:o)]

A quick find in an interesting little park.

The Kettle Twins Favourite:
Q Why do Gorillas have such large nostrils?
A Because they have big fingers.

Thanks for the cache.

All good.

We popped by GZ before another cache on the same journey, but persistent basketballing led us to head elsewhere for half an hour. Upon our return we found the cache, exactly as described, and happily added our mark to the log.

TNLNSL.

Its been months since a log with a bad joke or pun
Hopefully this log might start them off again:
Q: Why don't you see Penguins in Britain?
A: Because they're afraid of Wales.

Q: What do you call a penguin in the desert?
A: Lost.

Q. Why did the penguin cross the road?
A: To go with the floe.

Q. Why are igloos round ?
A. So that penguins can't hide in the corners.

Q. Why are penguin's shops so busy?
A. Because the fish fillet.

Q. Why don't polar bears eat penguins?
A. They can't get the wrapper off.

Cheers

Many thanks for this one.
