The Shadowman Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

Creeping into the shadows...

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

I found the spot where the cache should be- but no cache? There is still velcro of where it should be, so this cache needs maintenance ! Very easy to find this cache if your thinking about the hint.!

Wasted time looking till I read logs alrhou nice spot

Yes it's seems gone but stopped by anyway and spotted the velcro. Howz that Chief?

This one needs to be replaced.

Cheers

Found the Shadow Man and found the velcro and found no cache.

This needs replacing. Sorry i had no spare caches on me to replace it with.

I like to try and replace caches when they need maintenance.

I thought I might get this one this time, but alas no luck.

MADSTARS

Had plenty of time to look. Found the Velcro but no cache. This needs Disabling until proven it is there.

What is it with this one? either very tricky or have a serial muggler!! will try again when next in city.

Made A New Account Found It On My Old One TFTC

No luck for us either. Poked, prodded and felt in every nook and cranny we could find, but nothing came to light.

After searching almost everything we could imagine we just found two stripes of Velcro. Could it be that the cache is gone? Anyway, thanks for hiding.

Good to see it back in action TFTC

Some interesting art here and nice location. Always nice to see new log paper. Thankyou for bringing us here TFTCSL

Replaced cache on the way to the last day of the conferrence.

Found what was part of the cache ~ but no log book to sign My 4th attempt at logging this one

In town on Saturday night, will try to reassemble a new cache for the area before then.

Found the velcro!

Found the velcro but not the cache!

DNF then read the logs after. I think this needs some attention. The security guards German Shepard probably ate this cache.

wandered down with saggybaggyelephant after work today.

Spent some time looking around and was passed by the obligatory security patrol, no worries.
still couldnt find the cache, so was there quite some time.

on the second pass of security, he asks "are you guys playing geocaching" - our response 'yes'

****He then advised that they (security) had found the cache a few weeks prior and removed it.**** He confirmed we were looking in the right spot tho haha.

will either need to be replaced or archived.

otherwise, great spot, lovely view.. shame it isnt used more for functions and events etc.

Excellent clue... once I figured it out!

Haggis.

I got lucky here today. Last time I tried this cache, the guard and dog nearly caught me and that put me off. Muggles were in full force too. This time the guard was just leaving the area as I arrived so I knew I had around 5 minutes to find it before they returned and nobody was around. It took about 5 seconds to find and was returned in a couple of minutes. Nobody the wiser.

Glad to finally cross this one off the list.

TFTC!

Hey great cache ,had not been down to that part of the city an was supprised by the nice river view thanks

We got it. Nice little hidey hole. Needs more paper.

Found with ADAcache

First cache for the day and only 180M from the motel. Easy find with very low muggle activity

TNLN

Found with linFox and rubai on our quick trip to Adelaide.

There wasn't many people about late on a weekday, so we had the area pretty much to itself. After working out the clue we found the cache. Nice looking installation, I like the patterns and such on the ground.

Thanks, Jezzza Xtreme.

Cache #31 of 39 on our Adelaide trip with rubai and JezzzaXtreme.

Some interesting pieces around here, cache came up right where I thought it would be.

Thanks!

#292: 31 of 39 found with JezzzaXtreme and linFox on our geocaching trip to Adelaide.
An interesting area. Didnt take us too long to find the cache. There was no one in sight in this courtyard. But down the stairs and towards the lake there were a lot of joggers and birds eyeing off our fast food dinner.

Second time here this time no muggles! TFTC

Easy find early in the morning fighting a yet lag from Europe.
No muggles anywhere
Nice piece of art

Nice hide. The name says it all. Visiting from Phoenix, AZ, USA

Our first cache in Adelaide while visiting your beautiful city. Nice cache found easily after a bit of reflexion as the gps reception is quite poor in this area… SL. TFTC, very nice view on the Riverbank, interesting sculptures too.

I was in Adelaide for work but also had a great night caching with my SA caching buddy Trail 06, this one was the second of ten finds. Now I'm looking forward to my next trip over. TFTC

Found 9:50am. In Adelaide for the day and this cache was nice and handy to the Exhibition Centre. TNLN thanks.

A surprisingly quiet little spot.. Clever hide too, the penny droppped with the hint. Thanks.

easy TFTC

Nice and quiet here in the evening. Took a few lunges to find tftc quack

Quick find prior to conference starting for the morning. No one around. Nice views and hide. Thanks

(Found with ywurry) Very interesting and intriquing piece of artwork. Last one for the day before heading down to Glenelg for a bit of salt water therapy, fish and chips and natural artwork (i.e. the sunset). Sorry for the late log... was a very busy period at work before Christmas.

TFTC!

clever piece of work and very apt name for the GZ. Last one for the day before heading down to Glenelg for a bit of salt water therapy and to watch the sunset.

TFTC!

Was about to give up. Actually I did, but I snapped some pictures and ended up at cage again so I thought I'd try once more. Found it! Visiting from Vancouver, Canada. TFTC.
#172

Easy evening find (this time) - pretty sure I checked there last time, however the truth is in signing the log! TFTC

3rd find, TFTC!

TFTC beautiful spot. Time out from the conference. Log full, added paper

Brought a new container down after work today and worked out how the old one was secured, it's all good to go.

Well the log was there and dry but no container to be seen! Will try to make it down here one day with a film canister but might need more urgent maintenance before then. Almost got spotted by guard and dog whilst replacing cache! Woo hoo!

We found this cache as part of the Gangsters Team as we had our Invasion Weekend around Adelaide. We found the log on the ground and soon after we had the container. We had to reseal it with one of our stickers.
Thanks for the adventure.

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

The cache log was lying on the ground and as The Rats noted we secured the container with one of our log stickers. TFTC.

2797.

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen and The Rats on our Adelaide invasion trip. As the others have mentioned the log was not secured and we did our best to ensure it was more secure when we left.

Thanks Team Ermalesh for the cache.

We also saw a Starman waiting in the sky Thanks Team Ermaleash

Nice hide and good clue.
The small container will not click closed and allows log sheet to fall out. Suggest replace container.

I FOUND IT - with a phone call to Postiegirl for some help thinking she had found it too, but instead, I have given her some clues to find it herself! I was wandering around for 30mins between two different sculptures because the GPS has difficulty getting accuracy around so many buildings, which is obviously what happens to the owners of caches in the city. hahahaha, hey, at least I thouragly searched both sculptures to find it.
Wonderful nook you've got it stashed in though.
[Love the container, looks like a Gamecube Memory Card C

No luck today, nothing was found, think I was in the right place .. there's a man on the ground?

Did not find this one, had trouble with signal bouncing around and security looking at me funny too

A nice cache we found with Struppi & Strolch after greeting the security-man.

Log is completely full

found with polkys quest

found with little sammy on our day together caching town! ran into another cacher at gz and combined our efforts to find the cache!! tnln tftc

I was about to give up on this one. Despite the fact I had a fair idea of what the clue was hinting towards every time I tried to look there a security guard rounded the corner (this happned about 2 or 3 times!). Luckily, just as I was about to give up I spotted another person arriving with a familiar piece of kit in his hands and the usual geocacher trying to avoid detection look on his face that we've all used at some point. I then confirmed what I had suspected and with help in hand we located the prize. Unfortunately, neither of us had a pen so I was unable to log my visit, still it's always nice to meet fellow cachers out and about. TFTC!

GPS was useless today. The latch broke off the cache when we opened it so we used a bit of white tape to secure it. Thanks for the cache.

I mentioned this cache to Sparky the muggle as we walked past on the way to a work function at the Hyatt, and he insisted that we find it on the way back to the car. Imagine two guys in suits searching this artwork for the cache. At least there were no muggles, or any of our colleagues for that matter, here at 11pm.

GPS was way off in this area. Not helped by todays cloud cover and the tall buildings that surround GZ. So, it was cache by cache name and scour the area for something that looked right. After discounting the other potential Shadow Man, I placed my focus on the right one and had the container in hand shortly thereafter. It has been some time since I have been around this area. I had to meet a friend up the other end of O'Connel street so I took the opportunity to walk along the river and head up the hill.


Cheers Team Ermalesh

Cheeky little hide...great container

First of 5 finds for the night in a whirlwind interstate trip. Found in the first place I looked. thanks!

Thanks for taking me here by the river. TFTC

not too hard, it sure is small though. Interesting art form.

Found in the arvo... also found some money on the artwork. Score!

really cool!!!
thanks for that.

Had a bit of trouble with GPS accuracy here, had the general area, got interupted a lot by passing muggles, found it eventually though. Not far from our motel room for the night. TNLNSL TFTC.

Fairly straight forward find between muggles... who mostly rang the bell before they appeared... How nice of them!

I'd tried this one about a year ago and for the life of me couldn't find it. Today presented no difficulty, and i was scratching my head as to why i couldn't locate it last time!

TNLN, TFTC

Nice area and neat little hide. The area is so different and new now with cool artwork around. TNLN. Cheers.

Beauty walk along to the cache - not many muggles at this time. Easy found it. SL. Thanks Team Ermalesh for organising the cache and hunt.

Gawd!! This find was so easy I almost feel ashamed to admit I have searched the shadows before for it and failed miserably
So I won't admit it and will just say that I had an enjoyable first visit to the shadowlands to look for this cache today
TFTC.

Actually a nice easy straight forward one. Mrs Bundy provided the human shield against the one lunch eating muggle nearby. Found at 1120 hrs.

This was disappointingly and surprisingly, our one and only cache find in the centre of Adelaide today. Tonight, however, was a different story.

Cheers
Bundy

I really enjoyed this one, I never knew this was there, and I'm sure most muggles who walk past this regularly don't know of its existence either
TNLN
thanks

I wasn't sure whether to call him Joe or call him Sam. I called to see who would answer. Nobody did, so I just had a look for the cache and found it in a couple of minutes.

Finally found it after several previous time-limited visits. Tried early this morning but was out-muggled by a man with a squeegee. Returned in the afternoon and there were no squeegees in sight. I had thought the cache would be bigger so the final item was a real surprise!

Lots of stealth required for this one. It's just on the back patio of the hotel where I was staying. TFTC!

Quick find right near our hotel. TFTC.

Found while on a business trip. TNLN

A very hot day but still grabbed lots.

Interesting place. Thanks!

First find in Adelaide - visiting for Leonard Cohen concert.

Found this one relatively easy. Not too may muggles about at this time of evening. Found at 8:05 PM 19.01.09. Third cache of the day on day 1 of a 3 day Adelaide business trip from Melbourne.

Out on a lunchtime walk with Trail06 and did this one on the way to Cache 99.

This cache is only a (long) stones throw from work, so its good to finally get it done.

Found with Racing Stripes. Nice hide.

Found with Justcameron, run past this at least twice a week, but had never noticed it before, TFTC!

Not too many muggles around on New Year's Day. Now on my second attempt I found the box. A new year of geocaching is officially opened

Easy find. TFTC

Carols by Candlelight to night, so carried on the family tradition...I STARTED last year... Nab a spot, then nab some caches, then get back in time for the family to arrive a few hours later. This time I had the pleasure of the company and skills of THE SEEKER!! (but the Keeper spied this one!)

Finally found the Shadowman in between trains but got sprung by a Security Guard with a German Shepherd! Time to the next train was short so I'll have to try again another day.

Nice hide. Nice vista.
