It would appear that the Council has cleared the lane and the cache has gone with the clean up. Now the lane is too clean to hide anything so it an archive of this cache.

Lane is totally clear and no where to hide a new cache.

We came but didn’t find. Gave a good look on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

These Alleyway hides are plentiful in my former home of Adelaide and i reckon i could count on one hand the ones that didn't make this wee-blue-birdy nervous Big Grin

Such things as: A dog exploding into an endless barking fit directly behind your search area... a Muggle walking into the alley as you are deep into your search... Big open house windows that can see you from above or at the end of the alley... Someone over the fence working quietly (quiter than you can search, which is when you crunch a brittle stick or leaves under your feet Big Grin ha ha)

These are just some of the reasons why i was so timid but as time and years passed i learned to develop a few Geocachers' "MDT's" (Muggle Deception Techniques) [^] and now i actually enjoy the humble ol' Alley Hide such as this cool one Wink
I saw the booty here today before conducting a search (that the longer it goes the more the nerves set in [:o] Big Grin) so today's was a breeze, still i had to SL and that small time of loitering can be masked with a number of MDT's that look so legit Big GrinWink

SL at 11:30ish on Monday 26 April 2021.

The cache and contents are in good shape [^]

Today I decided to head down to Hobart for the day and collect some targeted DT caches and some others in amongst them for the day, apart from the 30mins of rain the day was quite pleasant for caching.
All up 49 finds and 10 adventure finds.

Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache GoldJ. Have been meaning to do this series for ages, but have just never got around to it before today. Unfortunately, I've missed out on a couple recently archived.

This is my last full day in Tasmania, I am flying to Sydney tomorrow. I will be attending the MEGA out that way. I am here visiting Australia from the state of Minnesota in the U.S. and have enjoyed every day of the month and a half spent exploring this beautiful continent! You cache added to that fun today. Thanks so much for placing it. Cache and log is in great shape.

The last one found by us today in this series. Guess number 5 and 7 have gone to caching heaven as they weren't showing up on our map!!
Another easy one and then a pleasant ride back to the van which was near no 1.
Some of these houses near #6 have massive yards. They're going to be busy mowing in the coming months!!
Thanks for the smilies and the great ride.

Found it on what's promising to turn into a hot day! TFTC Smile

We're half way through our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley Smile On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we have a whole island of caching fun ahead of us!

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

Now staying in Campania, after all the rain yesterday today was such a pleasant day although still cool.

We loaded our lunch, jumpers and bicycles and headed off to explore new areas.

We managed to find your cache whilst in the area. Fun series and the 2nd for us to complete on our geobikes today.
