Please be aware that the nature of the change has changed. So a PAF before today might not help youDescription and hint are updated. Happy caching

Cache missing again!Alright I feel someone from the store might know about it?I will re hide on a different spot within the same coordinatesIll update you all soon

TFTC - first logger in the replacement log!

I walked pass today and noticed the cache missingThen I went inside and purchased the replacement Once the staff figures out I cant control my urges they will keep muggling the cachePlease be stealthy and replace where found Ps: you may use a pen to retrieve. No need to push all the way in when placing back Happy caching

Cheeky very cheeky spot

No find today. Must be a good one. But it is busy this arvo.

Found eventually. Looked usual suspects , the bowsed inside for some items. Coming out from store it just appeared. Nice one cache owner.

My third attempt here, to-day quickly spotted and signed. Yes once you see it you can't unsee it even from a long way. TFTC.

Took a few minutes but found the sneaky little hide. TFTC

TFTC smile19918 Out and about on a Sunny day with geofriends picking up LGAs as we go signing as 6 for Qld what a great spot for a chache Thank you baristayan for placing this cache for our enjoyment

Out with Tankengine, youban and dty73 after the lunch time event. The others had found this, but stopped so i could. Urges controlled... today! Thanks for the cache!

Wow wee. Took a few goes to find this one. Good thing I needed something inside the shop. Nearly gave up on this one. Definitely walked past it half a dozen times trying to look inconspicuous. Cannot unsee it now.

Took a while to spot this one. Thanks for the fun

Well, that was a very different sort of hide. Now that Ive seen it I cant unsee it as its in plain sight. But it certainly wasnt where we were first searching! Thanks for a very good hide

Still roaming around Fyshwick with LuckyL10n and this was our next stop. Checked a couple of spots and then Luckyl10n spotted the nicely hidden cache. Log was signed, cache carefully replaced and we were on our way again. So quiet out here today.Thanks for another one baritayan....fav point for the cool hide.

#19478 - 1:32:00 PM; Met up with my old partner in crime Sol de lune at Geobash Central this morning for a day of meeting, greeting and caching. After registering for the Mega, completing some adventure labs, swapping some pathtags and geobanter with other cachers, we set off towards the city and on to Fyshwick to refuel the geomobile and collect some newer caches along the way. All caches were found in good order and returned as found once signed. Checked a couple of options before I looked to the skies and spotted something worthy of further investigation here, which just happened to be the cache! TFTC baristayan

Another day spent Pre-Mega geocaching. Today we are chasing caches along Sutton Road north of the town and across to Murrumbateman and down. Log sheets as "5 for QLD" to save space and time. I really had to control the non-stealth urge!Log signed and cache replaced as found on March 25, 2024. TFTC, baristayan

A lovely day out and about with geofriends and picking up a few caches before and after events today.To save space on log sheets, we signed as 6 for QLD, then 7 for QLD as a new team member arrived.Of course, we had to go inside as we needed to stock up on write-in rain paper for replacing full logs.Thanks, baristayan, for the good neat hide here.

Out and about after the Mob Event on Black mountain.Caching with and signing as the group '7 for QLD' and having a great day.TFTCache baristayan

I needed another cache for the streak today but was more concerned with locating some supplies for future hides!That brought me to Fyshwick: The Industrialist's Middle Of Nowhere where all of those supplies appeared to be located reasonably close-ish together!Seeing as though I had to enter this building as part of my plans anyway, I thought this cache would be the one to tick off today!There weren't too many passing muggles today - certainly not as many as I'd anticipated - which meant that the obvious spots were subjected to thorough scrutiny.No luck there though, so I decided to head inside and ponder it some more - thinking to myself "I really must check [that spot] when I come back out".Of course, I proceeded to purchase my eclectic assortment of things, come back out, and immediately not check [that spot] for all of about five further minutes.Once I bothered to remember though, something awfully suspicious stuck out to me and I wondered how I hadn't seen it prior!Extraction proved more difficult than I'd envisioned, although one of my new purchases ended up being what I needed to access the logbook (which totally justifies the cost in my eyes!)Luckily, I'd brought my pen with me which saved me from having to race back in and buy another one (though, with all the pretty colours on offer, I did have to control my urges to not bring the cache inside and write my name in every pen available!)Thanks for this creative hide, baristayan!

With some time to kill while Dino was in town I decided the head the Fyshwick way for some caches that needed my attention. Nicely done on a hide and container for it! This was perpelexing at first but fun. Not too much of a rush here this evening so searching was not too bad and no one came past. A very fun hide well done a FAVpoint for the great idea. Thank you baristayan for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

I have had a very quick look for this one a couple off times before, but am always in a hurry. Today I had some time and saw it straight away. Thanks baristayan

I found this on a cycle ride. TFTC.

found it, full log later

I was headed to a nearby cache 'Need more coffee?' to try to right a DNF. Walking along in dreamland, and then I realised I had passed the turnoff to 'Need more coffee?' and was now closer to this cache, but no problem; I kept walking to this instead. The other cache can be for another walk another day.Well named this cache being where it is. Very hard to "control your urges" once entering the wonderland. So I didn't . Lolly shops, jewellery shops have little attraction for me and I hardly notice them in passing, but this place, I'm 'gone' as soon as I enter. Wonderland! The office desk I am sitting at with my laptop to write this I bought there, and looking around, several other things.Full car park; very busy here today, with people coming and going. It did take me a few minutes to spot the cache. Coordinates are fine. Cache and log are good. Then the walk home. TFTC baristayan.

Couldn't resist the urge as that was why I came here. Love that I could add a smiley in the process.TFTC

In canberra for christmas, and driving around the area, not caching, but picking a few here and there to get the Summer Soltice Souv.Total Caches Found 15290TFTC baristayan

I was looking in the complete wrong spots trying to be inconspicuous on two seperate trips with no luck. Needed a little push from Toy Hunters to secure the bag!

Fun find, bit tricky to act natural with so many muggles around but was well worth the feeling of accomplishment

Out with Tankengine and Dty73 just roaming around the Fyshwick area. My pals had found this before making it an easy find for me.... kutgw

Put with Youban and Tankengine on a warm morning, hoping for a quieter day on Fyshwick. Not too busy here, easy enough to see as we came close to the accurate coords. Quick grab and sign and replace. Nifty little hide. I like it.

Found with fitzy_1965 whilst out and about in Canberra.Quick find today.

33,741. Found with minniek during a domestics run in Canberra today.We were in town today doing some chores around this area, so we thought we'd grab a couple of caches while we were here. We did indeed spot this as we were approaching, and being pretty quiet today it was a quick grab. Signed the log, replaced the cache exactly as found, then - resisting the urge - went back to the car. Phew - escaped without spending any money....Thanks baristayan !! Fav Point !

I couldn't control my urges, so bought some logbooks while I was here. Found the cache afterwards, nicely done. TFTC baristayan!

Controlled my urge to browse office works. Not necessary with BYO pen. Spotted easily when looking in the right area. Blends right in. Clever hide. Well hidden from muggles doing their shopping. Have an FP. TFTC.

Found it .. tks

Nice to get out and about and tick off this cache.

After some lunch we (Captain Tomato, Chewinprickles and I), dropped into this cache.
We had looked unsuccessfully last night, so a daytime check was in order.
A few more muggles around, but the cache was found quite quickly. How did we miss that?
Thanks, Robmc.

Took us a few visits here but we got there in the end. As soon as you can see the cache you can't unsee it.
Thanks

Greetings from Ireland - this is a generic log for now until I return home / have WiFi - I want to log all finds now so I don't forget them.

FPs will be awarded at the time of this log (where applicable) so I don't forget them. Tftc!

Found as it just started to rain. Had us looking up and down but did find it eventually! TFTC

Cheeky little hide, very fun

The cache has been replaced

Momentarily disabled as I came to visit and cache is stuck
I’ll need to replace it

Thursday has rolled around again, and I had a fun get together in civic with colleagues. As they all have commitments, I took myself off to find a cache and get some supplies. I had looked at this one online and thought I would give it a go, and knowing the goal of the CO, I was looking for something a little special. I spent way too long at the wrong level and even then being further away or not did not seem to make a difference. Eventually with another cache in mind I worked my way to another area, and eventually found this very well hidden cache and was able to eventually sign my name.

Thanks for the cache baristayan

I was running errands and had a choice to make. Do I pick up some needed stationary or find a cache. Then I saw this listing! It took a while to spot and an ad-hoc TOTT was needed but soon enough the log was signed. TFTH

Wow this one was cool. Hidden in plain sight!

Had a preliminary look yesterday but the number of muggles persuaded me to move on. Back today armed with a helpful nudge from a passing cacher and was soon able to sign the log undisturbed. TFTC baristayan

#4323 Green-martian and I parked as close as we could to GZ. There wasn't much to see. Looking around, found nothing, until GM saw the thing lets say in plain sight. Right, that's it. Replaced as found.

Extremely clever cache, very tricky even though you can see it inside your parked car. And during the day muggles pass within a whisker of it. Tftc

Difficulty rate slightly increased.
To me is still a simple park and grab, but i want to honour those who spend more than 5 minutes searching. Happy caching!

Great hide. Had me guessing and looking for quite some time! Higher D rating deserved for this one, I reckon. Thanks again, baristayan!

We stood back, and we looked. We also went closer and we looked.
We searched so many places and then went home instead with a new ergonomic chair, computer desk, 2 laptops and 25 bags of jelly snakes ( good rewards for geocaching finds).
Back today and acquired a new phone, 5 pens and 20 plastic folders…ooh, and our name in the log.
“ Control Your Urges”!?
Thanks baristayan. Sneaky!

PS we are heading back tomorrow for some gel pens.

It's dark and probably the busiest place in Canberra. I did a lot of "texting" on my phone between feeling for caches, but didn't come up with the prize.


Will have to come back another time.

Ha, after acquiring some more information about this I went back.

I had to wait for the last employee leaving and sitting in his car for aaaaages - with full view of the cache area - before being able to resume my search.

All I can say is "But I looked there".... ... and I also walked past it about 6 times.


Sneaky hide.

As the store was now closed it was rather easy to control my urges. .... I did have a look at computer screens earlier though....

#3839 Meeting up with DeadThief once again for a Friday post tech jaunt and this landed on the radar today. Moved in on GZ and scanned the general area for some options. Soon enough something unusual caught my eye and we soon had our names on the log. Thanks baristayan for the cache. Wouldn’t you know it! Ran out of printer paper the very next day.

The title of this cache and part of Canberra it is hidden in seems like a little hidden message and a bit of a laugh. Even a few things in the description made me laugh with this thinking. But I honestly can't tell if that was on purpose or not

Either way, this was a very strange find! Definitely not a D1.5, I would say it is a 2.5 or 3! Myself and DSD struggled to find this cache for quite sometime. The coordinates are actually pretty good, but we felt like we had exhausted our options. We had to get a point in the right direction from a friend in the end, and was surprised when we finally found it!

Quite a sneaky and different little hide!
Thanks

Signed dsd thanks for the cache and the Adventure.

Just a lovely cold morning just a quick find log and placed back where it belong before it get busy muggles

Well that was a little unexpected. Took a few minutes of searching the obvious places before I spotted something that just had to be what I was looking for. On closer inspection I was right. Signed and replaced as found. Hope this one lasts. TNLNSL TFTC

An afternoon caching. Cache soon found. Clever hide. TFTC.

Hmm, this one has me stumped, I'm afraid. Both a micro and the biggest cache container ever, sounds like a good riddle. Will try again later!

TFTC!

Found on our way through. Didn't stop for any shopping. Found by StarsAligned. TFTC

I wasn't too blue about eventually finding this cache having to rely on the hint, and my binoculars. Our GZ was out by about 3-4m so good to locate the cache as quick as we did. TFTC baristayan.

A tricky find (well, for me most urban ones are) spotted by my caching buddies.

Thanks, baristayan.

Well, after my previous DNF, the CO reached out to me with a little further advice - and as I was still in the area, I returned for a second go.

Trying to follow the hint provided, I noticed something that ... didn't really look like a cache ... but ... I didn't have any other ideas ... so I checked it out ... and lo and behold, made the find!

Fave point for the very clever hide and the helpful message!

TFTC!

Found after a lovely country drive around Carwoola getting roadside caches. I was still at the Rutherglen mega when this was published otherwise I would've tried for another baristayan FTF chance! Took a few minutes to find this one, needed a PAF. Hope this one lasts, it is indeed the biggest container of all time. I come here often to scan documents and laminate caching related things, I'll make sure to check on this cache whenever I come. TFTC baristayan!

Up nice and early on a Saturday morning and headed to Office Works with the CO. She went inside and I was left to go searching at ground zero.

I observed the clue and took myself across the road for a look from afar. Just as I was loitering on the road, a familiar face drove past and pulled up to say gday (no doubt wondering what the hell I was doing ). We talked local rugby league for a few mins before he took off and I resumed the search.

Yani came out of the store and said ‘I can see it from here!’ Soon after my eyes clapped onto something and I ventured forth to sign the log. Think I agree with a previous log…this might just be the largest container in the world!

Great hide ️

A sneaky little hide in a place of many possibilities.
Found and signed at 7.30 am .
No purchasing today but I do keep their sales figures ticking over at times.

Thanks for the cache hide.

Found with O319. Took a minute or two of searching to find. TFTC

Found with SJG66, good to see more caches in Fyshwick. TFTC.

Chooo ooo [FTF] on a nice sunny day! Nice find here! Mind you some of the attributes mislead me a bit! Thanks baristayan!

Doing a few days around Canberra. TFTC.
Interesting container. Most be a world's biggest. Nice hide.
