After no reply from CO and needs maintenance being present for a few months it’s unfortunate but time for this to go and free the space for future caches

Thanks to all that have enjoyed the little multi.
Time to archive

This a cool little multi on a street that I would never have known was here without this multi. As previous finder the cache is well at the end of its age and needs replacing TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Another attempt today and success, no more nasty stinging critters. A smiley at last. Thanks for the cache and placement Richmond Street ___ Find Number #4344 at 11:11 Hours

This needs a complete overhaul. The original container only has a lid remaining. Logs are wet and dirty.

Rode out again on the pushie at lunchtime from the city with another set of coords that seemed a lot more feasable and closer. (Looks like I need a few extra lessons in maths and stonemasonry). Found the cache at the coords I had, and yes, the bees are still there - had to dodge them - fortunately there werent too many of them. Signed log.

Rode the pushbike out here from the city in my lunch hour. Went up and down the street to get the info. Calculated some coords that were 1km away... that doesnt seem right... its gotta be closer. Went up and down the street again to check... Thought I had the right answers.... apparently not. Went up and down the street a 3rd time - counting houses - still not a feasable set of coordinates. I must be interpreting some of the questions wrong. Had to get back to work quickly as my lunchbreak was coming to and end.
Putting this on on my DNF list to revisit again.

I knew of this laneway and the local quirky buildings due to my partner living in the area. Today I needed a cache, and despite seeing the warning about the bees, I decided to give this one a go. My first set of coordinates were wildly inaccurate and had me by Mary McKillop college, I decided to go back to the laneway and re-count building features. This time I had a much more likely set of coordinates and soon had the cache in hand. The bees seem to have moved on now, there were one or two buzzing around but I think they weren’t from a hive at GZ. TFTC!

Although the cache was visible it was not accessible, maybe disabling for a while until those nasty stinging insects have moved their abode?

A return today with better mathematical workings and the hidey hole found. We can not log a find though as the cache was inaccessible. It is now a dreaded bee hive. A return visit maybe when the hive has moved on. Thanks for the cache and placement Richmond Street ___ Find Number #3868 at 11:35 Hours

What a gorgeous little street. And yes found due to geocaching. A couple of trips up and down and I soon had the numbers I needed. Luckily the bees were sort of friendly at GZ. But their buzzing is loud when you get that close. TFTC

I recall gathering the clues for this multi a few years ago, but it was missing at the time. Today I was in the area with time on my hands, so I re-did the calculations based on the revised formulas and soon had the revised GZ. A short search soon revealed a container lid, old logbook and cachenote, together with a new container and logbook. Thanks Schatzsuche1 for the cache.

Luckily I had some previous finders with me as this area seems to have changed a bit. It was a fair way off from where I had looked previously.

Thanks for the cache schatzsuche1. Found on 27 Feb 2018 at 8:43 pm. Find #5885.

Out with Brisal5 on a lovely sunny Tuesday.
Caching here and there.
Mrs Rat stamped the log and we replaced the cache. Tftc

We came but failed to find. From reading previous logs this cache needs attention, we searched in the dark but still had no luck.

Worked through the puzzle (little ones were entertained) found the cache, as mentioned though only the lid and logbook remain. Needs attention. TFTC.

Worked out and found by The Boofs

Heading down to another Freddo event at Norwood. Having solved the latest BFE puzzles the night before contacted a puzzling partner and arranged to go and get them before the event. Even so I arrived a bit early and found myself doing this cache whilst waiting. I grew up 2 suburbs east and had a paper round in the top half (above High Street) as a teenager. So it was a pleasure to come back near an old stomping ground. A quaint little street and soon found myself in the park but as is usual there was a muggle exercising his dog. So I sat in the lovely shelter and read some previous logs whilst I waited. Once dog and muggle disappeared the reading made for a quick find. Thanks schatzsuche1 for the experience. As per the previous log, needs a new container.

My first multi cache in South Australia! I did this one as part of my challenge to log at least 10 caches of the three major types (traditional, multi, mystery) in every state in Australia. The only states/territories left to complete now are WA and Northern Territory. TFTC and I really liked the bluestone homes.

Was in the area visiting a caching friend when we ended up doing this cache. I do love a nice mulit. Thanks for this cache, sorry for late log. Am now catching up on various caching days from last year including caches done AC's old area.

We live in the area so we walk around all the time, a very interesting multi, we love the final location.

On yet another cache-grab bike ride after work, I made my way to lovely quaint Richmond Street . I love how all the old fashioned places are almost touching each other, narrow street. Quickly worked out the cache location and like other logs mentioned there is only the lid of the cache with (Thankfully a dry log sheet within 2 zip-lock bags) SL at 16:10 on Tue. 19 July 2016 on lovely warm day and even warmer tomorrow (wish I had the day off work so I could go caching all day ) Thanks to schatzsuche1 for showing me this lovely street that i never knew existed [^]. TFTC, re-hid the upper part over the bag and used a bit of natural camo to hide it out of Muggle view and of rain hopefully

I thought I did the sums right but couldnt find anything at my GZ. I ran out of time to double check so will come back again another day.

Found with GoodLook on a quick night time hunt. Couldn't locate it at first but eventually realized where GZ was. There was a cache lid .... there was a double bagged log .... but no lower part to the container! Thanks for the hide!!

Found with the lovely CPwanderer on a wet and cold Friday night. We hadn't realised the park went around the 'corner' also, so were initially looking in the wrong area. Once CP realised this it was a quick find.

The cache could do with some owner maintenance, but the logbook was signed and the cache was replaced to GZ.

Thanks for the cache

Found with vj187. A lovely area. A quick find. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. A lovely street!! Enjoyed finding the cache. TFTC

I attempted this one unsuccessfully a couple of weeks ago, so it was good to complete it today. TFTC

I could win an award for most caches found but not logged online. Please forgive this very generic log. If I admired your cache you'll get a favourite point from me and I'll likely come back and edit this log once I've caught up. If this generic log makes you unhappy - delete it. Life's too short to worry over it, I had fun finding your cache either way. Cheers!

I was out night caching with Moneydork, Locuscache, ridethegeowalrus and semik. We stopped to log this cache. Thanks for the hide.

Out and about on Tuesday night with Moneydork, SEMIK, locus cache and .K.B. for an excursion into the south of Adelaide. We cached long into the night, some of us longer than others, with a return journey just after midnight.

Moneydork and I had a go at this one earlier and came up with nothing. We did get some coordinnates in a park, but not the park we were expecting and my caching sense told me we were wrong. Some aid was enlisted from others who joined us and shortly after the cache was in hand. No baby possums were seen, but mum tail was visible higher up.

This was find number 1 of 13 for the night for me. TFTC schatzsuche1!

On this lovely Saturday morning, we went to this area to do caching.

It was really a nice little street, with fine houses. Managed to get the information we need to answer the questions. However, the final locations is not where we expected. Maybe we got one answer wrong. After playing with the numbers, the final cords looks feasible. It was easy to find the cache, or I should say, the lid and log book. Signed the log book and placed it back.

Thanks for the schatzsche1.

Coming from a sandstone villa, cat came out on a hot day to note some found heritage.
Ended up discovering much more than a cache (well cache lid and log), The rainbow
lorikeets watched on as I carefully extracted the prize from next to a sleeping baby possum!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Well another multi bites the dust. Lovely little street with lots of character. Solved this one without leaving the computer but after parking the car in a nearby street I did check the answers as I was wandering to the calculated GZ. All good. Spotted the hide from a long way back and as per previous logs all that was present was a completely sodden log in a zip lock bag that was worse for wear and a lid with No container. Took them for a walk to the car and made a new log in a new zip lock bag. Took them back to GZ and surprise surprise there was a muggle sitting nearby. So engaged stealth mode and luckily angles were in my favor so I replaced the lid and new and old log and kept walking. Ended up getting back to the car by walking around the block. The exercise was great. Just as I reached the car the muggle came skate boarding out of the street which surprised us both. Jumped in the car and departed with a smile and a smiley. Gratias pro cache.

Needs new container and log.

Finally got around to doing this one as we were nearby. Why is this cache not found more often? Some of the GiantInflatableFrogs lived almost literally a stone's throw from Richmond St a few years ago. Nice to visit this gorgeous street and the park again. As previously logged, there is just a lid and a zip lock bag - which today was keeping all the water in rather than out. Log sodden, couldn't sign. We would have replaced but didn't have any supplies. TFTC schatzsuche1.

Caching with earthlight and The X-Trailers we cached this area today to clean up our unfounds in the area, Found GZ not to hard but this is defiantly not a 1 terrain, all we found was the log sheet and the cache top, can not see the base as i can not see that high, a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets are nesting at the end of this branch so please be careful and don't stick any sticks down any holes , the cache can be seen with just looking in the hide spot. TFTC

First time when I counted the houses I had got the numbers I found out that I had done them wrong. Well hidden watch out.

Wow that's what I call a hard cache!
Got there with minucci1 after a awesome sleepover and also accompanying me was geoaunty hannah and her two year old daughter Olivia. Answered some of the questions and went to follow the co-ords. Got it completely wrong and had to go back to check one or two of the answers and sure enough we got two questions wrong and that's all it needs to not be able to find a multi one question can be the difference. So with the new co-ords we set off till we got to ground zero and after reading some of the logs about reaching up we did exactly that and cache was found. Signed log and had a play on the playground very near the cache!!
TFTC!!!

Fascinating little lane, thanks for bringing me here.

Met a grandfather with his grandson on his shoulder and he asked me what I was doing, so maybe in a few year's time he and his grandson will also be finding this cache (and many others).

Easy find, once I managed to count _exactly_ what the questions asked. Great wee park.

TNLN. TFTC.

Catching up with my friend Gral4 and working on some multi's in her patch. This was the only one we managed to complete today. An interesting little street with quaint little houses. Many of the houses had their front doors open! We counted carefully and then made the find, taking care with the muggle making a phone call nearby. TFTC schatzsuche 1

Our first multi for the day after trying two others with Ismartis. Tftc

Tried google maps but house numbers incorrect so walked the streets, did the numbers and found the cache. TFTC Cheers

Found with special friend. Did the info gathering aged ago finally got back to collect. Lovely park... wonderful street Great fun tfct

I dragged earthlight out very early to go and see some episodes of McCleods Daughters at Channel 9 so we lost half the day to start with before we could commence to locus caches.
Once we started caching, I scored 15 smileys with 5DNFs (for a variety of reasons) then we had an early night and I was home by 8.45pm

Finally!
Thanks Dr Owl because yesterday I was here was here and couldn't make heads or tails out of this mutli.
Today earthlight and I struggled again with a myriad of conflicting numbers and just couldn't make things fit!
Frontyards and schools don;t make for good cache hiding spots.
We tried the brute force method and walked and walked, while a couple played Bocce and drank their wine nearby.
Eventually, Dr Owl flew to our rescue and met us and walked us straight to a spot that we thought we had checked
Oh to be just a foot taller!

TNLN. SL. TFTC schatzsuche1

Found with Locus cache and Dr Owl who could fly as high as this cache was for us.
Had searched but just not high enough to see what I had exposed earlier.
By the way forgot to say I loved this little street with the bluestone cottages.
Took trackables to visit and headed off with the others to locate a couple more caches before Dr Owl had to fly home for her roast lamb tea.
took trackables to visit.
TFTC

Like many had to rejig the calculations a little, still once that was done an easy stroll to the cache.

Dropped off the Shark TB, picked up the Budgie TB

Dammit, Jim, Owl is a historian, not an architect! So it took a couple of visits to get the numbers right and then Owl needed to make some adjustments until she got a viable set of coordinates (which might account for the cache being further north than she expected). Today she hit a brick wall in her writing, so the walk down the street to a lovely park was welcome. She left a TB to encourage others to do this fun little multi. Now, back to writing....

This is quite a remarkable street worthy of mention. Nice park too.

TFTC schatzsuche1

Really admire these Richmond Street.
Found it nicely after worked out multi.
Thanks schatzsuche1 for bring me here and cache

Found It!
Great street, great park, great multi and a great cache!
TFTC

What a beautiful little street with a wonderful park at the end. After initially calculating the GZ in someone's backyard, some brushing up on my architecture led to a more sensible location. The cache was found quickly from there and surprisingly, for such a lovely afternoon, no muggles about. TFTC!

What a great little street. Some lovely houses and history behind them. tftc

Gotcha!

Second, or is it even third time lucky on this one?

I remember attempting this one ages ago and ending up miles away! I must have got a crucial question wrong. [B)]

This time I still had a question mark over one of my answers but a bit of intelligent guessing gave me the correct coordinates!

Met an old(ish) lady with a rather slow moving labrador. "He's old and does not move so good." she says. "Nine years old." I nod and smile.

"Not old." I think to myself. "Just fat. He's Huge!"

Thanks

ZZzz..

Alex-thesquirrel and I attempted this one a month or two ago and picked up about half the answers. Came back with the squirrel, Jasmin-thelemur and the Traut half of Traut+Wombat and after ironing out one number issue, the cache was soon in hand. We then went and played on the play equipment at the park at the end of Richmond St... its a bit of a funny sight really, a 25yr old, two 23 yr olds and a 20yr old all on the play equipment! TFTC

Like bek-theraccoon (geo-wifey) said...

Fun times were had with bek-theraccoon and co on the playground!

Thankyou for replacing the cache in it's new location and altering your questions slightly.

Yes, we found it! Enjoyable again doing some counting in this quaint little street.

TFTC

tftc

After getting the coords wrong a couple of times, we decided to make a mud map of the street so we didn't look so dodgy walking up and down pointing our pens at the houses... In the end I don't think we got it quite right, but we had the cache in our hands

Thanks for the cache Schatzsuche1

I think the residents were about to call the Police as Darknstormy and I were having a few interpretation issues. We were 100% sure of the South co-ordinates so we just walked the line until we made the killing.
TFTC SL

Another multi that a can scratch of the list TFTC

Oooh nice new log book. what a cool little lane. Thanks for placing thus cache. TFTC

Fail.
Hmmm.
Maybe I got my calculations wrong.
Maybe I had my muggle goggles on.
Either way, no cache for me.

Ahhh, that would be why I still can't find it after 2 goes. Need to recalculate!

The cache's final location has been changed, and the calculations accordingly.
Have fun in Richmond Street.

I found this one months ago myself but wanted the rest of the family to appreciate this street before we log it and I found this multi very enjoyable.

Unfortunately, the cache was not where it was when I found it, therefore I am assuming it has been muggled.

Will wait for you to replace it and I will let the geo mum & kids find, complete the logbook and then we'll log as a find.

Thanks.

attempted to find this tonight but was unable to find it! After having worked out the clues a while back I had been looking for an opportunity to find the cache! GPS was right on top of the spot however random muggles walking dogs, talking to the birds and muggle family arriving right at GZ with picnic in hand made it impossible to look further... will have to attempt this one again at some point!

Had tried this before with no luck - think we were off with GZ. This time we found them in one of 4 very logical places. TFTC

interesting area to collect a cache and a few clues

Once we had worked out what quantifies certain type of real estate we enjoyed a pleasant stroll collecting the clues, quick find at GZ TFTC

No cigar! Will come back with the GPS next time. We will not be defeated!

What a quaint little Street. We did have a couple of little dramas though. Not really knowing much about real estate terminology, we spent quite a while trying to figure out what a single fronted place meant to work out S. Spent a while debating this before making a guess only to then find out that S is not used at all so no idea why it is in there.
Arriving at GZ we had to wait for some dog walking muggles to leave. Our GZ was more or less in the open. Finally found it in what was a more obvious spot not too far away
TFTC

My parents in law live very close to this lovely old street.
A nice cache to do on a lovely sunny winter's day. Thanks schatzsuche1

What a quaint street and lovely hidden park we discovered!

really fun cache, thankyou!

Found on the way home from work. I love this old street which I've walked down before - my Mum lives nearby.

I got busted by a dog walking muggle while I was searching near GZ. She wondered if I'd lost something. I said no I was studying what types of insects are here. She was satisified with this and continued walking. Shortly afterwards I found the cache TFTC.

TFTC

A nice cache to pass the time before the lunchtime event.

An easy find.

TFTC

Richmond Street is a delightful little collection of cottages
Well worth the stroll along to find the cache at the end [^]
One of the large gum trees right next to GZ didn't survive the wet and windy weather and I hoped the cache wasn't hidden somewhere underneath it
GZ was in the clear and I found the cache in the fourth place I looked.
TFTC.

I had heard good things about this cache and it didn't disappoint. And I was slow to realise that it was back on line.

Several days ago I visited a well kept secret in 'Leave it to Beaver' and was blown away by the views. This cache brings another well kept secret to light, and today I was blown away by the architecture. Richmond St is so secret that I rode straight past it and had to turn around and come back.

Thanks Schatzsuche1, for bringing me to this great location, and for a simple, and well thought out, multi.

I feel sorry for those cachers that don't/won't do multi's, they dodn't know what they are missing here.[8]

Took a stoll up this quaint little street and collected the clues, then found the cache right near where I'd parked.

Glad this one is back online... Had first half solved ages ago. What a beautiful street!
Cache is still safe and sound!
TFTC

Found this in the GPS and had forgotten to log it till a month later oops.
Found in the evening, what a nice little street
TFTC, found fairly easily - nicely hidden.

Found on Monday night on the way home from work after receiving some inside info the cache was back on line
Coool little street.....

TFTC
Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

Back online folks, the cache is back in place in a slightly different spot but same GZ.

will check if the cache is still there...BRB

Margieh said it all will give it a try another day.

Did a bit of this on Google Earth but decided to drive the street just to check the figures... After doing the sums we headed to GZ and started searching... The only thing we came up with was a couple of 'gold' coins that someone had left on the ground... A hint maybe but couldn't find the cache... Will check the figures and logs and try again later... Thanks Josie for the cache

found it, it took a while to find

What a beauty . A quaint little street straight out of a fairy tale (just don’t ask me which one ). Phoned a friend to confirm GZ after OUR working indicated a point more than 700m away. Acting on their description of the final loc, we searched all over the items, but couldn’t find it.
And I still don’t know where we went so badly wrong with the calculations.
Despite the no-find, this was still a great spot and many thanks to J for showing it to us. Cheers .

Couldn't find this one, even after Skippy confirmed the spot with the owner.

I was confused at the start

My first multicache. Definitely a great one. Was worried about the GPS coordinates, but was happy to find the cache.

Great one thanks..

What a pretty little street. How come I didn't know this street was there or the park?? Quick multi and fairly quick find. Then had to retrace steps a short way as I left my sunglasses right next to gz. Not expensive ones but still didn't want to leave them behind.

Thanks J. Enjoyed this one.

With Lava12 for the day. Thanks Josie for replacement the cache. Lava12 found it before me. SL. Thanks Josie for organising the cache and hunt.

Accompanied with Everlasting. Found it nice and easy. Nice park.
Thanks Schatzsuche for the cache.

Cache container replaced and ready to go.

seems the container has been muggled, will replace soon,
