The Invisible House? Bayswater, Victoria, Australia
By monch's mob on 23-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1M1FR

We went to fix this cache earlier today, but instead stumbled on a bunch of syringes in a spot where fingers would be inclined to search for this cache. As I don't want anybody to be pricked when searching for this cache, we've decided to archive it and put another cache somewhere else nearby instead.

Sorry about the inconvenience, but it really wasn't a tough decision to make.

Taking it offline for a little while so we can fix the container

Found nice and easy tftc tnln sl tin is hella Rusty and magnet is featured but log is dry

This took a few mintues to find.
Found my self on private property thinking it was a public path. I sse the point of the cache's name now.
Anyway found cache a few meter from GZ, in the open, return it as was found.
Nice food at the Bistro which the GZ is only a few meters away found, good prices too.
Be careful of Muggles on bikes.

17.25pm. i was on my hols caching around with Lochb when we arrived here and went the wrong side for quite a search,then after a while we went around and both just walked past it just like that. we had just started to re read the cache page when a neighbour who had been watching said you might wnat to look there and boy was it easy.we really made a meal of this good one. so we thanked the man,did the biz and left.thank you for this cute cache and greetings from a cold,frosty,snowy england.sltn.patandjeff=bones1.

Ahem... sometimes it helps if you read the hint. GZ placed us on the green side of the fence rather than the yellow side. We eventually figured that we had to be on the other side. The owner of the house started to watch us and said "you might want to look over there'. . Found in the company of Bones1. TFTC

Too easy. the cache is easily seen as the magnet has gone missing
TFTC

So obvious... but we walked past it twice.

Descide to do one hour of caching around one area 2 of 5. walked passed it. very good spot. Mr_X_02. TFTC

Found it - but the magnet has come loose.

the magnet needs maintenance

Felt a bit doggy doing this late at night. TFTC

Very yellow wall. Didn't find the house??

Yey, finally got to log this one today! We had come here a couple of times in the past but it has been way too busy so we hadnt attempted the cache, however it wasn't too bad this morning - GMelb has a day off work so we are having a caching morning before he goes to teach chess at the MMelb's old Primary School.
TFTC monch's mob - amazing place to have a house! At least the shops are really close by but boy you'd get a lot of noise from the train line!!

Found @ 6.30pm, #399
Out and about for work, so I thought I would grab a few nearby caches on the way home.
TFTC

Found on the way out to see friends. TFTC.

Found today while passing through the area. Parked nearby and made a quick find and log sign. TFTC.

The container is very rusty and the tape holding the magnet looked very frail.

but the coffee served an awesome coffee.

TFTC

The hardest thing about this is the amount of muggles around. Found this with DectectiveWades Inc. One was "lookout" while we confidently went straight to the cache. Don't be shy [8)] Funny how a cache can be in such a busy spot and only geocachers find it. Well done.

Easy find with Sherlock Mal (he has no fear) despite the many muggles. TFTC.

Took a bit of working out where i was supposed to be as the GPS wanted me to go to those green areas! Eventually worked out where I should be and found the cache. SL TFTC.

Found at 10:00 am. Yes the muggles do appear from nowhere - almost got sprung with this one. Nice easy find

Yet another day caching in the area with Skip2992 as co-pilot and Hazey1 as ballast.
Nice easy find. TFTC

TFTC, A day out blitzing with Saulman1010 and Skip2992. Nice and easy cache.

joint find with saulman1010 & hazey1

Out with my lovely assistant Anne again today we found this cache @ 14:16hrs
We stopped off at the Bakery just around the corner from this cache for some lunch and that's when I realised that there was a cache very close to us.
TFTC SL

found the nice easy cache. TFTC

Didn't see the house either but there's a letterbox and a freshly delivered newspaper? Quick, easy find, TFTC.

Quick find on the way home from a weekend away. SL. TFTC.

Thanks for showing me this facility. I'll come back and enjoy the products on sale at a later time.

@19.12 - Ive been near this cache before but it was for the fine coffee nearby. Since then I have discoverd geocaching and given up coffee SL TFTC

Our first cache for the day, out with caughtatwork proved to be quite amusing. We tried to access the cache from the back due to the lack of parking out the front only to find a chef having his morning puff [xx(] and he didn't look like he was in a hurry!
So we turned the car around to try and find a spot out the front. As we stopped outside the cafe, who should come out from the path and head inside, but the same said smokey chef!!! He must have thought we were stalking him!
Well at least we knew the coast was clear so we drove out back again & did an ultra quick find using the clue, so we didn't block anyone in.
Thanks for an adventuresome cache experience .

Found by caughtatwork at 11:15 on 26/06/2010
Talk about impossible to park. We tried the front, then the back but came across Chef having a smoke, so tried the front again, then finally the rear. We decrypted the clue to make it a quick in and out so as not to lock anyone into their car park.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks monch's mob for this cache experience today. You're not wrong with the parking, very challenging indeed.

I went looking for this one , but did not feel comfortable hanging around at the location, walked down the right path twice but did not stop, car drove out of next door driveway while there.

We also came here today in mid-late arvo after doing Future Champions (and meeting Bruce3mn) and then again after doing Show me the Money but didnt want to walk down the pathway as there were people sitting out the front of the cafe right nearby. Will come back another time

Found with The swaggie's on a cache clean up day around the Heathmont area,the cache was in had almost straight away,leaving us free to hunt down some more cache's in the area.
Thanks for the cache monch's mob.

This was the second time we had looked for this cache. The first time was about 6 months ago or so and while we were looking for the elusive cache. we interrupted a couple of burly lads who were in the process of breaking in to a local shop. They chased us around to the front of the shop where fortunately the amount of muggles in sight kept them at bay and us safe. Later on when we thought the coast was clear we went back only to find ourselves surrounded by them in the back lane and things were looking pretty grim. [xx(] However faced with a car driven at them by a maniac (me) they did disperse and we could make our escape. So you can see we did put off going back there fore quite a while.

Today however with Mr Jibblets we felt a bit safer and we were able to get the cache in the first place we looked. It was definitely not there last time. So with a quick log we were off again to live for another cache.
Thanks to Monch's Mob for the experience.

#367 Found at 11.20am. A quick find for The GeoPrincess - love these areas with loads of parking. Must admit we didn't see the invisible house

Found it! It's the first geocache I've been able to locate.
Even though it was just a log (nothing else) still stoked to find it!

found @ 6.50pm Edited on 25 March 2011 at 12.06am to increse the Verbosity of the post aswell as the Average of 39 words per log that I currently have, aswell as the Shortest log of 4 words on Moveable Geocaching Australia Captain Whitebeard by PrincessDiala which will soon be a different cache due to this creative writing, copying and pasting.. peace out.. May the inner gnome within you get out there and explore..

This one was found prior to a street orieteering event that was starting over the road at the train station.. Thanks Monch's mob for the cache and highlighting this interesting situation...

Found @ 1:55pm Third track/path lucky - should have been a lot easier - a parked motor obscured the right path. SL THTC

Wow, a tug of war to get the log out! The toolkit was called upon and Earthbound Chief had to use the trusty pliers to get this one out. There was a muggle walking along the adjacent path as I was returning the cache to its hiding place, he surprised me. I hope he wasn't paying too much attention to me lurking alongside the building!

[This entry was edited by Earthbound Chief on Friday, May 21, 2010 at 12:17:46 AM.]

A fairly quick find @ 23:20 in the company of the geowife and emeraldflame. This is certainly a very familiar area as I used to live down one of the nearby streets. At least at this time of night the only interruption was an annoying local dog and somewhat rude owner of said dog. If only we had parked in the main car park out front we probably wouldn't have had any problems at all. Anyway, we signed the log and got back on our way.

Thanks to monch's mob for the cache.

found @ 23:20 with mum and dad (ross47)

an easy find on the way home. apart from the noisy dog, we had no problems.

TFTC

Our mission today...to get to our 100th cache. This was another quick one, but had to resort to the clue. Once we read that, we had it in hand in a jiffy. A discreet walk past and lift the cache was required because of muggles, then a similar walk past and slip it back into place after signing. TFTC.

Hmm. I think Mrs Biggles is telling a little porky! We actually marched down the driveway before 'I' retraced 'my' steps and approached the cache from the correct path whilst Mrs B tut-tutted from 'the other side' and said it couldn't possibly be there. For once I was right, but alas being male I will ALWAYS be wrong regardless.

Found without too much trouble and we were lucky as there was nobody around.
TFTC

Found while on a caching day out in the drizzle but did not see the invisible house ?? - thanks Monches Mob , tnln

Found it with Phoebes on our way home from work. Very nice hide, TFTC

After a DNF down the road, it was good to get in and find this cache. And no passers-by to get suspicious!
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,

I like to trust the gps before rading the hints

but after reading the hints
we found it eventualy

thanks for the cache
nice hide

Found at 1245 hours, Strolled to GZ, this house must be Invisible because you can't see it from GZ.
Now this will stop my Tom Tom beeping at me when I drive past here next time.

Nice cache. Have been a visitor to the "house" previously. Lovely old property. Hope they don't get too many misguided down the drive.

Found at 11.30am

After taking ages to find parking and dodging many a muggle, this was a fairly easy find.

Find # 816 @ 13:20 & 11/26 finds for the day.
Trust me to go the long way in. Soon found the cache. On the way back to the car I was approached by the house owner who asked if I was looking for the Geocache thingy. I said yes and I had already found it. He confirmed where it was so he definately knows about it. Remember, there is a hard way and an easy way to get to the cache. I suggest you may like to grab a coffee at the cafe and ponder the easy way in.
SL Thanks for the cache monch's mob!

Nice and easy, had to wait to get to cache, a few muggles around.

We checked this one a couple of days ago and it had gone missing. We've now replaced it with an identical container, and there's a new log inside.

Sorry for any inconvenience

255. As was the cache for me.

Cool hide... very clever! (CMB)

I almost went down someone's driveway.

Not too hard, it took perhaps 30 seconds.

TFTC!

Second find of the day as I found myself in Heathmont. A neat little spot. Looked for a magnetic, but soon found the cache on the ground, but safe.

TFTC

Found 13:35, like others before I missed the small sneak way between the shops and the fence and had to back track to get to GZ I was almost about to right this off as a DNF when I spotted a likely object on the ground. It seems the Magnet has fallen out somehow [?]

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks monch's mob.

It would seem that the magnet has gone missing and needs replacing. Without the magnet I was force to leave the cache in the north end of the doorway.

[This entry was edited by Biggles Bear on Saturday, November 07, 2009 at 2:05:59 AM.]

nice little spot.

I read the first logs on this cache and was interested to check it out when I was next in the area. I missed the pathway on the first passing and had to come back to it. The cache was found in a logical spot so I didn't have to spend too much time searching. I have to agree, it is a strange place for a house. They must get fed up with traffic!

Ta,

Found quite quickly, saw the invisible house slighty because I went down the driveway first. Thanks for showing us this strange house, a cool cache!
SL Kaztrekka.

Found quickly, cool place thanks.

Found on our 2nd attempt,
The reason we did not find it on the 1st attemt was because we used a pocket query, our GPS does not tell you if its a multi or a puzzle cache so we decided to return to the cabin and find out some more, confirmed, its a traditional, used the clue so we knew if we where supposed to be searching on sombodys drive way and found in no time.

Found 1550

it was cold; it was dark; it was late Sunday night and we stepped on something green. Oops. I thought it was the track to the railway line. After getting on the correct side of the fence, we found the cache and signed. We had ended up in the area thanks to the Age Cheap Eats which recommended Sweet Chilli Thai across the road. SL.TFTC

Located this one in the dark.

Tried twice in the dark but had to revert to the clue.

TFTCSL

Abandoned. Too many people, too public, and it felt too much like I was sizing up the area for a theft or something. Thanks, though.

We probably wouldn't have found it without the hint. Our second find for the day.

Drove past again at 10PM.. still there.
*phew*

found on the way home from work.. i too was a little confused if the gates were the private property or the alley was the private section.. the mailbox is a giveaway.. my gpsr decided to play funny buggers so i went for the hint to minimise muggle factor. ran back to the car to sign log. bit worried about someone who came out of the building nearby and went towards gz..hung around in the parking to catch her and explain for a bit but she never came back. hopefully just walking to her car... ill drop by later tonight and check it.. also did anyone notice the water bowl for dogs at the entrance to the nearby cafe?? tnlnsl tftc

I went marching through the gates looking for the invisible house until I realised I was on private property. Lucky a big dog didn't come marching out to meet me.
Easy find with the help of the hint.
Thanks for taking me to an interesting area.

Nice easy find. Not bad coffee near by.

TFTC

Cheers Ric

First of six cache finds for the day. I had no trouble locating the cache and I sure had no idea there was a house in here. My Thanks to monch's mob for the cache.

Made my way through the coffee crowd into a much more secluded area and quickly made the find. While I was putting my mark in the logbook one of the rseidents of the Invisible House drove by. I wonder if they have to give their friends GPS co-ords to find such a well hidden home?

Cheers monch's mob, I didn't try the coffee but scones from the bakery kept the little one's hunger pains at bay.

This was the Monch's mob's first cache that they had hidden, and we had been meaning to get to it for ages. It was fitting then, that it was found in their company. An interesting spot that that Invisible house is in. Thanks for the cache monchs, and thanks for the coffee.

~13:00 King Jnr - My Queen and I (with Geokid#2 in the back) were out shopping a few km away and decided (ok I decided) to take the long way home (in the opposite direction!) - my queen remarked what we dont have a home - yep that is where we are heading to an invisible home GC... (sigh from the seat next to me....) A quick find but I did use the clue. Thanks monch's mob for the diversion. I tried to stuff in a stubby pencil I had on me but it would not fit.

We stopped off for this cache with team Crackers and after a slow start Mr.Coffee had a quick look and found the cache.
All that was needed was the perfect disguise and a bit of luck and a nice logged cache.
Our thanks to Monch's Mob for the cache in a location that I was in no hurry to leave the nearby establishment.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "Who cares about the invisible house I am here for the Coffee" Coffee Clan.

Mrs Crackers was out with the Coffee Clan whilst Mr Crackers was still home recovering from his recent hip replacement and this was the first cache of the day. The two girls attempted this and not feeling confident about not being seen they returned to the car where Mr Coffee had the perfect disguise and he soon had the cache in hand
Thanks for the cache Monch's Mob

I felt less than invisible while searching for this one, but we found it without incident in this interesting, and popular, spot. The plantings along the rail line are lovely.

Thanks to monch's mob.

Me and Peta have gone to Barclays every weekend for breakfast for about 2 years now so yesterday we got down a little early and knocked off this cache =D

Was a really good hide, glad we looked at the hint before heading out because wouldn't have found other wise (and the first one Peta found herself).

Thanks for the cache,
Tom and Peta

found at 9.50am with Dolly2cv6, did need the clue, think we may have been wandering in someone's driveway for a bit!
TFTC

GPS was all over the place here and we spent a bit too much time on the invisible house's driveway before resorting to the clue and realising exactly where we should have been. Then it was an easy find! Have had many good lunches in the coffee shop too. TFTC.

Took me quite suprised to find such a secret little spot. Very suprised to finally find cache as co ords went all over the place. Being Sunday and a lovely day muggles were out and about, retrieved cache (thanks to the clues). Thanks for bringing me here.

Like muzza I felt a bit odd in this location but felt much better when I found the nicely hidden cache. This was not quite what I expected for some reason, thanks monch's mob. Nice to meet you for coffee the next day too!

Stopped in to do this cache on the way home.
I was surprised there was a house behind all the shops.
TFTC

Found @ 16:45 while on the way home tonight. Took a little while to find as GPSr wandered a little. Like the invisible houses garden.

TFTC SL

Being Easter Monday, the shopping strip was relatively quiet. I was a bit wary about where the GPS was pointing me, so I checked out the clue. From there, it was (of course) an easy find. Thanks for pointing out this hidden house and for the cache.
