Trainspotting: Runaway Train Kadina, South Australia, Australia
By Team Ermalesh on 15-Oct-06. Waypoint GCYXF5

Seems that the train has finally left the station, chew-woo, chug a chug, woo-woo. .

second maybe third time i've tried to find this one but no luck again

Good chance this one's gone. Didn't spend a lot of time though, after the past few logs.

I came up empty on this one as well spent 20 minutes looking bumped my head 4 times and eventually gave up.

We looked for quite a while early this morning when we had the place to ourselves. There are just too many places on these things to hide something. Tried all the usual ones and even got the torch out to check the shadowy depths, but had to give up when my back and knees protested too much [xx(].

Easy find today the cache was on the ground under the runaway train, I retrieved the cache and relocated it, I will send Team Ermalesh a PM to tell them where the cache can be found

The container was found in the open with nothing in it - so looks like it needs to be replaced or at least archived

Empty black sistema box on ground suspect muggled

Found the cache at 7.45am. Excellent hide spot. Lovely park... No swap. SL. Thanks Team Ermalesh for organising the cache and hunt.

Kettle kid knew exactly where to look having found a few on other trains and found it in seconds. Too cold and wet for any muggles today. Sorry, didn't replace the pencil as we got sidetracked with syncronised swinging nearby. A great park! TFTC

I receive some on-the-job training in group stealthing from a couple of old hands. Parrothead kept up a convincing trainspotter patter while retrieving the cache from under the noses of the family that had camped out 10 metres away, while Skippy and I ran diversion. The missing pencil is my fault, I managed to drop it during the replacement action .

TNLN (hey, you don't do swaps during a stealth operation!)

Thanks Team Ermalesh!

Full scale stealth mode for this one. Luckily we have seen so many in the last couple of years we can discuss models while inspecting components.
Well there was one problem we didnt put the pencil back. Sorry about that. Hopefully there nect cacher will have a pencil they can spare.

We found it!!! Kids did a few swaps. Very quiet day at the park. Very excited kids, great fun!

Last cache on our way home to Adelaide and a great spot to give the kids a final run around. TNLNSL TFTC

Great cache. Helps if you can fold yourself up a bit!

Great! This was a fun challenge!

Been here many times, but never imagined there would be something hidden here. Good hide, Team Ermalesh. Well done!

Took necklace, left Rubik's Cube.

Great location - no muggles around today - must have had something to do with the heat! Rocky Glen Grommets found this after a relatively quick time - Grom 2 found this - sometimes being small helps! Took torch keyring and left a highlighter. Bob Grom helped as well.

A quick find on my way to the ferry at Wallaroo. Actually I'm on the ferry now logging this find.

Took a Cow, and left an Army Man.

Cheers from Barra

Looked and looked and looked

Lots of muggles around so we didnt have much of a chance to look to closely

Will get this one next time

Lots of muggles around today, but I engaged the services of a younger geocaching cousin to secure the cache during a game with some muggle children, thus no-one was any the wiser!!

Lots of Muggles about which made it tricky to find without looking strange clambering around under the train. Well disguised box.

Cache # 16 of 20 attempted today. I was fortunate that it only took about a minute to locate this one. Many times it takes me forever to find similar caches. My thanks to Team Ermalesh.

Went searching for this one, but as we started about 50 muggles turned up for a bbq. So maybe next time.

A quick search left us empty handed, we will return when we have more time.

Stopped for a play, been here many times.
Co-ords spot on.

Thanks

Searched all over the train gaining several strange looks from the teenagers using it as a hang out. Have no idea where the cache could be.

Easy find while playing chasey with the daughter around the station.

Cool little park for all to enjoy.

Cheers and thanks for the cache

I enjoyed this one. Cache was right where I thought it would be!

Thanks

The brat boys have been on this train a ridiculous amount of times in the past, guess they'd probably have looked a little differently if we were geocaching back then - TFTC

Lots of muggles, and playing hide and seek in the exact same area I wanted to search! So I had to become an instant avid fan of these objects. Found quite easily when the geomuggles ran in the opposite direction.

Found by Barry and Beryl at 2.50 pm
Plenty of muggles about however it was quite acceptable for Barry to inspect the playground equipment in close detail, took nothing left an Australina keyring.
Thanks Team Ermalesh

Checked this one out oin the morning and collected late afternoon when no one was around.
Took the travel bug Millhouse and left a cow
Thanks
Moses on the move

Found after a brief search,at 10:30pm (no muggles around).TNLN TFTC.

Found after a bit of searching just on dark,as to avoid being spotted by muggles.Dropped off "Millhouse" travel bug to begin his journey from here.TFTC.

Love these old things

Left squid and crab

retrieved geocoin - moving east

At 13.30h, I found another lonely RX in a playground, but better than in a scrapyard though. Took - Nothing. Left TBG GCC 1st anniversary geocoin #2 & an "aqwa" badge. (Aquarium of Western Australia) TFTC

Logging this cache with my new user name. TFTC

This was a goody whilst picknickers and kids crawlwed all over the location, it tested our abilities to the fullest!

matmob had to get up early to catch the ferry so postiegirl06 stopped in by herself on the way home.
It was good thing it was only 8 am at Muggle Park!
It usually takes me a little time for these sneaky train caches but I found this one pretty easily!
Lovely Park - As it was Australia Day there was a bit of setting up going on at a distance and I enjoyed the music!

A great spot for a bit of play. Again the muggles in the area made it necessary to use some stealth. Took RUSSIAN BEAR for a drive to the Adelaide Hills where we will send him on to continue his journey. Left badge. SL

Bright sunshiny day - found by geoboy junior with the aid of a keyring torch! Isn't it great that the boys (big and little) can go scrabbling around and inspecting all things mechanical without looking suspicious! Fantastic park and cache spot! Took boomerang keyring. Left Russian Bear TB. SL. TFTC

Found with geo kids J, K & JC, Rufus, geo Aunties and geo Kim+. GeoKid K was the one to actually find it, and she was very chuffed with her find. This is a great park, but we were surprised to discover the maze was gone!

There was a lot of swapping!
Took: Platypus, finger puppet, bracelet, purple shell.
Left: Necklace, boomerang, marble, pet rock.

I was very relieved to find this train cache, as the Topsy Turny Train at Morgan has eluded me twice now!

TFTC!

Love caching on a train. The one place in a park a bloke can be allowed to crawl around and look like a bloke. More trains please.

DR.E and Clo-Co were climbling around for a while looking for this one finally Tricky found it right where DR.E was looking! nice hide. muggle enqired as to our quest and wondered if she should help. Tricky told her we were playing hide an seek. Took sids badge left platypus. TFTC.

Spotted this one along with the lovely flowering bougainvilleas. Spotted it in the obvious spot. Left Blue band, took TB Kangaroo.
Thanks Team Ermalesh and clear skies for the Stockport Star Party tonight from TeamAstro.

Had a good look everywhere with MiniZyth2 but no luck. Found some good hiding spots but only found a old water bottle hidden in the metalwork.

dropped in Jumper Jack Travel Bug

Another quick find, Lambchops and I were thinking of putting a cacher here before as we come here half a dozen times a year.
TNLN
Thanks Team Ermalesh

Brought Tower TB for a drive to Kadina

Headed back to Victoria Square at first light so we could search in peace. Still took a while to find the cache, managed to find someones stash of dirty magazines though. Eventually found it in a spot that I had searched before, just not thoroughly enough. No swaps today. Thanks Team Ermalesh.

Stopped by twice this morning but due to mugglets we doidn't even get out of the car. We just don't seem to to have any luck with caches hidden on trains. Will come back very early tomorrow morning while the town is sleeping.

Found in the night, being rather covert so the muggles didn't see- having once lived in the area, I knew those muggles weren't to be messed with!!!

TNLN, TFTH!!

First FTF for no 2 son! Yee Hah ! GPS seemed to hate location and had us moving everywhere, so relied on description and hints. Found in fading light by MWFA - much to the disgust of Gum-Nut. Took bouncy ball. Left stickers. TFTC
