Time for this one to go.

When they removed the bee hive they took the cache as well.

A small amount of damage has been done to the garden, so I'll let it recover.

I think the bee-hive has been removed and the cache has gone with it.

Will replace shortly.

No joy here today.
We will be back.

Found with Snowball 6&7 TFTC

Found but forgot to log in april.... nice hide

Buzz, buzz, Buzz !! TFTC SL

Took keyring
Left fish and turtle.
Beware of bees
Tftc

At a child's birthday party across the road in the hall, so had to wander over to find this one. I didn't even need to use the GPS, just looked for the tree with the bee's in it and there it was with it's angry swarming guardians. An appropriately sized stick and the cache was easily extracted and signed.
TNLN
Thanks for the cache!

Not so much a DNF as the cache was in plain view, more of a DNG (Did Not Grab).
Last month we were at another cache with bees in a tree that were 1-2m away from the cache that became quite agitated with us and attacked us and Mrs TiedyeSmileys was stung.
With a lot of bees at this one only centimeters from the cache, we decided to give it a miss.

Watch out for the bee's TFTC

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh! Muggles everywhere!! Pass for now. Damn this great weather and Aust Day public holiday.

Went early morning but too many bees. Got it late evening.

Found it!
My first. !
Watch out for the bees!!!

This is one I knew where it was saw it but do you think I could reach it, NO. Went back another time this time armed with tongs that should get it NO, too short again.Went out again this time with tongs and box for standing on too many muggles. I know I'll wait for emkid to come and stay after Christmas and with geo-grandkid use them as cover.

Today armed with tongs, box and emkid plus geo-grandkid we sallied forth to retrieve the illusive cache. Guess what couldn't get it out and the guardians were getting stirred up so decided not to sign the log but use this as the only log. TFTC Team Waldron you devils.

My first find with theoldrev.
Couldn't reteive it even standing on a box.
Unfortunately couldn't sign log.

Located this one without too much difficulty but also located the bee hive. Managed to retrieve it without worrying the bees and get it back (more tricky) TNLN TFTC

Thankfully, found this cache with Stormshaker. At 6 foot 4 and not allergic to bees, he made it an easy get.
TFTC

This one has been on the books for ages as an easy pick up whilst taking the kids to the park but for some reason they've voted for Olympic park. Finally got there and was excited with what I found. Nice little Cache with trinkets galore.
P.S. Watch out for the Bees, there an active bunch.

I was even looking higher than where it was,lucky for me not many muggles around.tftc

A bicycle comes in handy for all sorts of things, including things not imagined by the manufacturers, but in caching anything goes.

I swung past here once before but there was a tennis lesson taking place across the road at 6:30 in the morning. Give me a break. They were here again today but went inside, which gave me some uninterupted caching time.

Thanks Team Waldron

one of 48 for the day! tftc

Found as a part of Team SaintsMadHouse and now that the kids have grown we each have our own accounts to finddd geocaches with separately wherever we go!Left car, Took nothing, had to pretend we were smoking (and we are non smokers) coz of the muggles over the road. I got on my hands and knees so that Sandalwood Cottage could climb up for the retrieval. Great laughs and dont need the chiropractor visit now.

Now this is team work - even though we knew where it was height was our problem and we definately could not have this one alone - I had to walk all over Saintsmadhouse to get this one in the dark, with torches and those chain smoking muggles across the road kept on coming out to annoy and watch us. TFTC

Found this one on a Winters night with some old friends, had to watch out for muggles peeping out of curtains. TFTC

No muggles around at 11pm on a Saturday night. Trickier to get to than suggested by the terrain rating.

Another day’s cacheing while holidaying at nearby beach caravan park. Left eraser and keyring. TFTC

Think that some children, doing what they do, may have stumbled across this one given a few of the entries in the log. Still intact but no trinkets.
TFTC. Regards.

I know where its got to be.( I think) Had some help with me today but not enough. I'll be back.

Oh boy, how do we get that. OK, get that stretch got it. TNLN TFTC

With tennis across the road and a muggle sitting on a verandah stealth was the order of the day. Found and signed and ready to make the escape. We hear "did you find it" from the vernadah bound muggle, the gig was up so we went across and asked what it was we would have found. After a discussion on the many and varied searchers he had spied we gave him the run down on the game. He seemed genuinly interested and was going to lookup gc.com. Maybe another recruit. Caching with the MtnLioness. TFTC

Caching with Ciril and after seeing the neighbor spying on us and as we were unable to wait, decided to replace it anyway. Upon returning to the car, we hear a "Did you find it?"
To which a smile spread across my face knowing we couldn't lie. So we crossed over to his yard, explained why many people were so interested in that particular area and he became interested in the sport!
(and to teasing every other visitor from here on in)

It's 41 degrees & I'm caching. [:o)] There's no muggles today, they are all at the beach. dogtired

Find while muggles played tennis I thought I heard a few it out no its not. Funny TFTCSL

Wow! Needed to visit a couple of times - tennis players and park kids.
Cache was right out of site and needed "equipment" for vertically challanged persons.
Good hide. TFTC.
Took Geo Slug CPOW4K

Visiting the area from the USA and enjoyed the early morning visit on what is going to be a very hot day. Took the Travel Coin and will further it on its journey. Also left a Travel Snail Geocoin from the USA to see where it goes in Australia

A high-lite of my day. A nice easy find, had to time the retrieval and replacement around the coming and going of the Tennis muggles. Park was quiet, probably because of the summer-to-early heat.

Left Bruce TP's Australian Flag Micro geocoin to start it's journey from Adelaide to Johannesburg, South Africa.

Thanks for another great GDTA cache.

Found easy lucky I am tall can reach it.Lucky no muggle there.T.N.L.N

T.F.T.C

Quickly found during our Southern suburbs cache run. Sustained some geo-injuries during the recovery. Hopefully the next person is taller than me, or can easily climb. Terrain rating is not quite accurate. TFTC.

This was hard to extract
lots of dogs here that wanted patting
Thanks Team Waldron

I felt stumped but then the hint got me there. TFTC

Found on the Keeping Ahead Tour 2009.
Found in the company of SA Parrothead and Skippy.
This one although spotted easily was a little difficult to extract.
Thanks for the cache

The Gangsters (The Rats, Big Matt & Shell, Farmer Frentzen and Steeba) found this cache as part of our record breaking run around Adelaide. Another in the tennis series, with a slight twist.
Thanks for being part of the hunt.

2959.

Found this cache on our Adelaide invasion trip with Steeba, The Rats and FarmerFrentzen. This is find number 78 on the Australasian record attempt.

Thanks Team Waldron for the cache. Found a lot of this series today. This one proved to be a bit harder to get to but we made the find and headed off.

Found on an Adelaide Invasion in the company of Big Matt and Shell, The Rats and Steeba on our 24hr record caching run. TFTC.

Found on Adelaide Invasion trip with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Farmer Frentzen.

With all the muggles around we had to use the tree as a shield for the logging. TFTC!

Geo sister found the spot and Geo brother found the cache. Great spot. A few muggles around but didn't stop us! [^]

A father & son day with Willsy
Boosted him up to have a feelsy
And what did he grab?
This cache he did nab
Maybe more now to find, well we'll see

Find 712 My Way Without a GPS at 1.30pm

Once again the plastic detector was useless but the cache was found in the first place I felt.
Thanks to Team Waldron for the cache.

wet day for caching.. quick find for geodad.

Nice wee square and enjoying a great sunny afternoon after many days of cloud and drizzle.
TFTC

Came past this one today with a feeling of deja vu. As I pulled up I coud even see the cache.

Too many muggles around so I just kept going without checking the log book to confirm my find date. I can remember now that it was wet and raining.

TFTC

We were here on a day when it was school holidays and there were a lot of children around. Had to sit a wait till they were not watching us. Eventually found it without drawing too much attention to us. Thanks for your cache

Took a while to get this one and then just as long to replace with all the muggles in the park, met up with the owner later in the day Thanks Waldron

Happy Hunting Shane4

Another one in the set and a meeting with the cache owner later in the day.
Shane is a very agile caching partner.

Found under the noses of some early-morning tennis players (not literally, but they weren't all that far away). Thanks for the challenge of the muggle-deception techniques Team Waldron.

Accompanied with sevabo. Easy found it. SL. Thanks Team Waldron for organising the cache and hunt.

'It's higher than you think'. I agreed have to bring a small steps for us. we found it easily. Thanks for the cache...

Clever hide.

Many Thanks

Found with Kiwi Explorer and The Wonderstuff from NZ on our Victoria and South Australia caching adventure.

Definitely made us smile!

TFTC

Found while on a caching road trip with Konie and The Wonderstuff. Cunning hide. Thanks.

Sat and watched a border collie sprinting around the park for a bit before retrieving this one. Man, that dog could MOTOR.

TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found the nice hide at a nice stretch.
TFTC

Looked in the obvious to start with then read the clue. Had to time retrieval and replacement with a bloke running his dogs around the park.

TFTC

I had a bit of fun with this one as I had to avoid looking silly to those on the far court. I think I managed it okay. The things we do for caching.
Thanks

I had a lovely, though hot, second "tour" day of my first trip to Adelaide.

Thanks Team Waldron

Another happy face!

Used the boost-a-cacher technique and grabbed the cache. Thanks!

Helps to be taller of have the ability to climb trees. Between
J and his mate S they were able to find without to many dramas.
Happy Summer.

I was slightly under the height for this cache, but managed to find it with the assistance of a small create from the car. A group of young ladies in the nearby court were learning basic ball thwacking skills, but were too focussed on their instructor to pay any attention to my performance.

TNLN - Thanks Team Waldron

Found this cache a while ago but forgot to log it. TFTC.

I could just feel it but I couldn't quite grasp it so I press-ganged a nearby tall muggle into service. He was quite amused by the whole process. LN T sticker for the muggles son. Thanks Waldron.

Thanks for the cache,
Bek-theraccoon (and JustCameron and Racing Stripes)

Found with Racing Stripes and Bek-theraccoon during a night's caching adventure. Not dwarf friendly

As Justcameron said, TFTC!

That was a tad hard to retrieve! Nice hide but! Nice little park too!

Found this cache with froghoppin and have since created my own team name and currently logging previous finds after discussions with other cachers at a recent event TFTC

Geo son found this one while geo mum was having a singing lesson nearby just before tennis practice started TNLN TFTC

Tennis muggles were out cleaning up after the rain, but fortunately on the far courts. I needed the clue and then managed to extract and replace the cache without too much drama.Thanks Team Waldren.

GeoWife made a quick find on this one while I was laid up in hospital. TNLNSL TFTC

It started raining again when I pulled up, which was a good thing as it sent the two tennis players back inside the clubhouse. Unfortunately the rain didn’t deter an old bloke from then entering the park to exercise his dogs. I sat in the car to wait him out. The rain made the retrieval and replacement very difficult, but I made it [^]. No swaps. Cheers

A hide that is becoming increasingly popular back home in Canberra. Thanks.

That settles it - shortness of stature is definitely a disability. Quick find, but longer to retrieve. Thanks again Team Waldron.

"What do we have in the car to stand on?"
"The fridge or an ammo tin"

Fridge 15 Ammo Tin 0. TFTC

All the sounds of the night were out tonight. I don't know how many times we stopped our brief search to check to see if we had been spotted

It's always handy to have a fridge in your car, especially when you are out caching. They make great step ladders

We did the right thing and did the whole lap of the square. Some interesting green garages there...

TNLNSL

No trouble finding this cache. Left it just a little more harder to reach. Love the park.

Amazing how exposed the cache is, but I still think it's safe there .
Found between coaching clinic clients.
TN. Left spider. SL.
Looked for the GC, but now see Trail06 has retrieved it, but not logged it out yet.
Thanks again Team Waldron [^].

Got it with my husband's help.
Thanks Team Waldron for the cache.

Very nice hide, there are ways and means of getting this cache. TFTC TNLN

I can see the cache but I could not reach it. I will be back soon.

We grabbed the Canadian benchmark geocoin.

Third time's the charm [^]
Thats how many visits it took before I found this popular spot even remotely empty. Even then I had to wait for the muggle across the road to go inside & get himself another beer!
TNLNSL, Cheers.

I remember 2 things. It was higher than expected. Just out of reach about 5 times. I remember the dogs - lots of dogs in the park and their owners. And the ants. Back in the car, 200m from GZ I was attacked - a number of times.

Sorry that was 3 things. Clear skies and our thanx to Team Waldron

Found 13:40. 3rd of 10 FFTD. An afternoon of caching and tennis with the geokids while Mrs E was at work. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found without any problem. Glad to see you are getting more out in the series. Thanks Team Waldron

Tried for some FTF this morning on some unfound cache! Alas trail06 had been before but unlogged.
Still got silver medal on way to work though!
A nice hide. Grabbed the 'Cruiser's Power' TB
Thanks

Called past here this arvo and I could see the cache but with all the muggles around GZ an attempt at retrieving it was out of the question. If I was a foot taller it would have been a walk-by!!
I'll be back (probably in he dark!)

Found at 15:20.
Despite the tennis court users and picnickers, I managed to retrieve without a problem.
(Only 1 foot, Trevor?)
