After seeing it had been archived, I went to scout for a possible replacement location. Guess what I found, the cache, minus its camoflage, exactly where I remembered it was. The last finder was Andrew & Leesa on 18/4/06, according to the log scroll. It's all still there, under some leaves and twigs and stuff! What now? - UNKA DAVE

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Not sure if ths one will be replaced or not but for now will give it a rest.

I had a good look for this one and I am sure it is not there. Maybe disabling this one would be a good idea until it is replaced. That way we would not have to waste our time looking for it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Had a good look here, and then was confirmed by "cached" that the box is gone.

...and I've been here before. But, it was dark, and we were in a hurry.

I check here about once a week, as I work near here.
And I still can't find it.

This is getting irritating...

After talking to a previous finder of this cache, the original camo was not there when we found it (rather quickly)

cache now has new camo but it may blend in a bit too much, cache owner has been contacted and advised of the repair we did.

One J had a very very brief scan of the area while other J turned the car around at the ortho carpark across the street. not quite the area I was expecting, but now we know where to come next visit.

found fairly quickly.
Cache was a bit damp inside due to the large hole in the top.
Luckily i had a tube of silicone in the car for some reason and i was able to fix it up. TNLNSL! thanks!!! A&L

Had a quick look at where google earth said it should be before work, didn't find it...

I need to get myself a gps

Not sure wether to be relieved about finding this one so easily on this visit, or frustrated about the time spent searching on the first three fruitless visits!
TNLNSL
TFTC!

Got it this time, very clever, TNLNSL.

I recon I have looked for this one about 4 times now and now I am wondering how I couldnt find it, its actually pretty easy.

We were here only the day before and had a coffee around the corner. Didn't think we would be back that soon. But that's what cacheing does to you. TNLN lucky to find a carpark close by. Thanks Bonebabe

Yes, a very clever hide. Well done (and it is a busy street).

Very clever hide. Took a bit of looking to find in between waiting for passing muggles. Took nothing but left a glass stone. Thanks Bonebabe

Had to do lots of waiting for Muggles to pass, as it was a warm Saturday Night. Took cupid left Croc. Very clever cache. Cheers from the Barramundi's
PS: No 11 for the day

Was pretty simple having found a similarly hidden geocache only 10 minutes previously even right under the nose of the muggle with the mobile phone stuck in her ear and another group about 10m away standing on the footpath waiting for some friends, our group didn’t look out of the ordinary at all. A good sneeze feigned and the cache was in hand. TFTH

Another clever hide that looks a part of the surroundings. TNLN TFTH

Clever hide!!!!
Touk us a bit of searching, but we have seen one like this before in Dubbo! We signed it quickly and put her back before being seen!

Thanks heaps

Went there today, but way too many muggles for a good search. It'll wait 'til next time

Found it without too much trouble. We have a cacher in Brisbane who is an expert at camoflaging caches so when I saw the GZ I knew this was going to be similar.
TNLNSL
Thanks for the Cache.
Meeka

Great cache with only one give away clue, where it is!
TNLN

Well this was about the 4th attempt to retrieve the cache, away from the stares of MANY muggles. We knew where it was on the 2nd look, but was unable to retrieve. Was on way to work early this morn, so decided to have another try. Managed to grab and replace within about a minute! Most of that time was spent re-rolling the log! Was quite a simple task really, but when in a hurry it always seems to take longer!
TNLNSL
Thanks Bonebabe

Found this one today whilst shopping, my first ever to be logged (I have found other caches before with friends, but this is the first under my own volition). Nice hiding spot, took a while to get to it. Took whistle, Left Foot.

Found it at the second attempt having read the logs. Great camo. If only aeroguard kept muggles away it would have taken me a lot less than half an hour to write in the log

second one today that we couldnt find. Have to go back a little later in the day when the muggles arnt around.

Think I might know where it is now ?

Great disguise, took along a muggle friend and he couldn't believe it. Too bad I didn't introduce him earlier we could have looked for some on our drive over from Canberra. TNLN TFTC

This was my second visit here and as soon as I rode onto the street, I recalled what happened last time. This time I spent quite a while longer looking and still am none the wiser. Maybe next time?
Swampy

Went for a walk some days ago to look for this and as I looked the area over one of the sayings of a famous detective came to mind. "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".
With heaps of muggles around I just needed to confirm the location. Bounced the tennis ball a few times and it landed near the cache and while retrieving it confirmed that it really was the cache. Too many muggles to retrieve it at that time.
Did a slight detour late last night and parked close by. Cache was soon in the hand, log book signed and replaced.

Thank's Bonebabe

Hooray! My first 30 finds, all in 30 days. 02.10h Amazing spot. I use this area often and never guessed or even thought to hide something here. Very cunning. Thanks. Took - Blue jewel (I hope it's worth a million dollars) Left - Plastic whistle

This one had us stumped for a good 20 minutes... frustrating when theres not much to search around! was our coords right, what is the clue??? hang on could that be it??? It is!!! what a cool place! TNLNSL. Muggles made the going a bit tough for a while!

Great disguise! TN/LN
Thanks Bonebabe
Regards Mr. Coffee and the Coffee Clan.

found it on a sunday, not much foot traffic which made it easier.
the hide is excellent. well done bonebabe.

took a glow in the dark jelly bean thingy.
left a blue jewel (which i am sure is worth a million dollars)


thanks 'babe

the vitesse team

After a dismal day with 3 ‘no-finds’ so far, I was pretty pleased to get this one, especially as it had eluded me on a previous occasion. Great camo. No wonder my eye passed over it last time. TNLN. Thanks Bonebabe

Finally found, at about 8am. Very low level of muggle activity, which made the short search easy.

Returned to the car to sign log, and look through contents, before replacing the cache at an oppertune moment.

TNLNSL

Have tried this one a few times in the past.

Impressed with the hiding method - just a pity the community choose to litter this area.

Thanks - no swaps, just the stamp!

While I was in the area I grabbed this one as well.
It's all about the camo isn't it!
TNLNSL. Cheers.

Spent some time looking for this one, at about 10am, just as the muggle activity was increasing. Figured it was time to give up on this one when an old lady muggle asked if i was working, and were the tree's going to be cut down.

Will return in the near future.

You South Australian's are a devious lot! I had a look for a few caches that just looked too hard for the amount of time i had - this was one of them.. but it was near my hotel.. and i HAD to go back into Glenelg to get this pair of boots i was eyeing off on Sat night..

So.. i did my third walk by - nasty muggles around so i had to search thru my bag and pretend to be messaging someone on my phone lots...

Found the black box.. looked around.. couldn't figure it out.. then on a last ditch attempt decided to check that one last thing.. and BINGO..

Took a little man pin - left a charm clip i got from a cache in Bowen - QLD in January.

Thanks for the frustration

After a couple of casual walks past the target area, I can only reinforce the comments about muggles, muggles everywhere. Timing is everything. I also found the used nappy referenced in an earlier log before I found the cache - they really do take forever to break down. Very clever - top marks for a challenging cache! TNLNSL.

Another cache gave me a hint to this one. This was the second visit and I really needed to get this one out of my hair.
TNLNSL

A very cool hiding place - took longer to get and return the cache than to find it... I think the mugglers were just following me around...

TNLNSL

Had a reasonably good look - it'll be there, but we'll have to look harder.

All I found was a used nappy and a glass in a tree.

Very clever, excellent hide. Luckily not too many muggles around this evening. TNLN.
Thanks Bonebabe

All fixed and going again.

I noticed that this one was falling apart so I picked it up to take and do a bit of work on it. Should have it up and back in a few days.

Goblindust will have this one fixed soon.

Parked alongside without realizing. Quick find. A few muggles around as it was Saturday. Took dice. Left another 5 cents. Thanks Bonebabe

The log was full so we left a couple of extra sheets of paper. Muggles were as pesky as flies around here today. TNLN. Thanks.

Very clever disguise, found by Josh 5.06pm(amazing thing the young mind),TNLNSL. While waiting to log this one on our second visit(too many people earlier),think we may have seen team Waldron. We were the 'muggles' in the Gold Landcruiser parked nearby Good cache - log paper is nearly full too...

Found at 15.35 Second of 5 for tha day.

Parking is a bit of a problem in the summer.

Very clever hide.

TNLNSL


Thanks

After driving around in circles for a few laps I realised there was another side street that I had been pushed past by the trafic and not wanting to look like a tourist. Found a park, found the cache, wait for muggles to move on, retrieve cache, Ahhh.

TNLNSL

Finally got back to this one... took stickers and left a bowling man stick pin.

Thanks.

Looked directly at this several time and completely dismissed it as natural. Even the clue did not help!
It was not until D' casually examined it that all was revealled. Near miss with a muggle, he thought we had lost something, he went on to explain that he had found a black bag on the footpath last night.
Ratty, rabble & friends (18:20)

Found at 20:00, whilst "down The Bay" for new Year celebrations. 50,000 people wandering around and just us on this street. I walked along the middle of the street until the gpsr pointed 90 degrees left, turned, and found the cache immediately. Absolutely spot on.
Thanks Bonebabe, wherever you've got to.

Took us a couple of walks up and down along GZ before I spotted the “Thing†out of place. TNLN

sid while visiting town went for a drive with local lad darryl. gps spot on an when we paced it in we had it. top is loose but all ok. thanks bonebabe

When I arrived at GZ, I knew I was in for a performance! There just weren't many places it could be, which usually means 'difficult to find'. Also, it was a bit public, so a discreet search was going to be a challenge. Then I had to contend with a parking officer, who was concerned for my welfare! After a while I noticed something 'funny', checked it out, and had the cache in hand at 1140. The glue holding the cammo on has long since given up its adhesive qualities. The next challenge was getting the log back into the container. The final challenge was replacing the cache in the manner in which I had found it. All accomplished under the noses of the muggles. Sixth of sixteen Western Suburbs caches for the day. TFTC. TNLNSL.

Found with not much trouble.
Was very surprise that it was still there and hasn't been lost. I think someone working here must be in on it.

Thanks

Found by 4 Men and a Lady at 1715 on 13 October 2004.

Very well camouflaged but dont quite understand the cache title.

Welll!!! Talk about muggle hassle.

Every time we approached GZ a different muggle car parking space would either be taken or vacated. Muggles parking to prepare sales calls, muggles parking to answer mobile phones and muggle kids dallying to admire the orange beast (Jaffa).

After four phone calls and wandering up and down the street finally grabbed it and logged in the vehicle. Nearly as difficult replacing it but finally did so

Pheww!!

Left Coin
Took Shell

Many Thanks to Bonebabe

GPS took me around the block a couple of times for this one, and back and forth on both sides of the street before I spotted it. Loved the camo. TNLNSL.

Note to self, don't go looking for an urban cache in this part of Adelaide on a perfect spring day... It took 1/2 hour of walking back & forth, of tying shoe laces, of revisiting the logs. Brilliant!!
T Penny & $2. L Toe ring & Stickers.

Found 10:25, great camo job on this cache

TNLN thanks Bonebabe.

This was our fist time out. My old GPS was playing up, so I looked up the co-ords in a CFS map book, and found it at night no less! Great hide, particularly like the camo. Took: Small ear rings
Left: Pencil Sharpner

Love your work Bonebabe!

Found this one at 5:30pm. While there was a bit of activity on Jetty Road, surpisingly the side streets were quite empty at this hour.

The clue about the black box really helped us with this one, as we had problems with sat lock. Ingenious little hiding spot.

Took elastic watch/bracelet, left $2 coin and angel.

NOT found by Team George Jetson, even when teamed up with Canyonero on a midnight run, Sat 14/8/04.

This was 3rd attempt. Spent approx 30 min in total now. Even hint didnt help (noted 2 black boxes, up power pole, but no other boxes in area). 5m north would be on footpath outside private residence = no hidy hole.
Going to have to give this one a miss. Thanks !

Hmmmm... trying to find at night was a good idea ie. no people around, however this one had us stumped.

I think i found the item mentioned in the clue, but sat lock was throwing me all over the place.

The obvious spot where i think it is supposed to be has recently been "whippersnipped".

Oh well, next time...

NOT found by Team George Jetson on Sat 7 Aug 04

Too many passers by to get a good look. Will be back.

Great container, well done. We had a lot of fun finding it then acting as if nothing was up when muggles passed by.
TNLN

Found by Mary & David at 1130. Nice camo. Not to mant passers-by so we had no trouble and had parked right across the road. Took dime, left silver shell. Thanks to Bonebabe.

Great hiding place - nearly fooled us. Not much muggle traffic at 6pm on a wet Saturday! Took tiny frog, left a dime. Thanks Bonebabe.

Romana totally stumped by this one. Shaun not stumped:) Wow, a toughy, and muggles galore today! Very clever:) Took snake, left a Harry Potter dice - referring to too many muggles....

Found @ 2:55pm
Lala didn’t believe me that was the cache until she kicked the cover as she thought it wouldn’t move but it did.
Nothing that small to swap TNLN
Thanks Bonebabe

Ok... we must have missed something - where did that name come from ?
A very clever disguise here, but trial and error led to success.
We took the 2 buck note, and left a rope watch. (had a hard time convincing the kids that the note was ever real money)
Thanks.

Third visit to this cache. This time the cache was spotted straight away and quickly logged. TNLN. Thanks.

Found by Barry and beryl with Rebecca and Nicole at 12.00 noon
Avery clever cache, thanks for the challenge again, the clue did help. luckily not many people about. Took Fasta Pasta Voucher and Bead bracelet. left $2 Australian note.
Thanks Bonebabe

Great hiding spot!

Found it after searching for about 10 minutes, but as soon as I had it out, a group of muggles came to a car right next to me. I had to sit and wait while pretending to write in my notebook for 20 minutes until they finally left and I could replace it.

Found this one after looking straight at it at least five times ... very ingenious camo.

Took : International Coin
Left : Wrist Band

Love this one. Great hiding hole.

That'll stuff 'em

Took nothing and left a $100 note (I think)

We had to be very sneaky while looking for this cache as lots of people came out of nowhere, we were kicking ourselves when we finally located it

WoW! this one had me stumped for a while. The clue led me to empty space. Some things are not always as they seem. Thanks Bonebabe.

Not sure of the significance of the name, and the clue didn't help much ... guess I just didn't see the logic others have managed. I did manage to find the biggest red back spider I've ever seen, however!! Will be back another day to try again.

Dropped by this one today and it seems to be all in place. So good luck to all future hunters

Second trip. Lyn found it in seconds while I was still counting to five. Brilliant camo! Thanks!

...What's the name mean?

Freddo, ya still pickin ya feet in Poughkeepsie?

Say it, ya picked your feet!!

Were you in Poughkeepsie?

You’ve been to Poughkeepsie haven’t you?

Did you ever picked your feet in Poughkeepsie?

When’s the last time you picked your feet?

I did, yep, I did. Please don’t hit me Popeye.

We looked at the spot and looked elsewhere and looked at the spot and....Found it! A very novel cotainer. TNLN. Thanks for putting in the effort.

Team Raider (Mike & Emma)
WOW! This one was interesting.
Got a good sat. lock that kept pointing to vacant space.
Didnt know what to do and the clue wasnt really helping much so a quick call to Richary confirmed it was there the night before.
Back into it and more searching located the cache cleverly disguised!
Excellent hiding spot.
TNLN...

(Then ran back to replace Opportunity Knocks [8)])

Cheers
Bonebabe

Too hard for us today. Had a couple of visits but no cigar.

2nd try lucky, had a look when it was new without luck but spotted last night on the way for a night out. Didn't have a writing implement with me, thought as it was big enough for swaps it might have had one. Will try to drop a pencil in there tonight. TNLN. Cheers!

Nicely done - thanks Bonebabe. Took koala pin and left NZ coin.

Thanks for placing this one back Bonebabe! It had us stumped for a little while but then logic took over. We did not have any small swaps and so took nothing but left a 5c piece - felt right to leave an OZ coin on OZ day. A few Muggles walking past giving us strange looks, don't you feel sorry for the clueless ones..............or are they all just potential Cachers???
Thanks again Bonebabe!

Long live Poughkeepsie! Back on line and improved. Come and get it guys!!!

Bonebabe

Taken in for maintence by Team GeoCoopers.
Please note the cache is not there at the moment, as I went past it last night and it was sitting out in the open.
I have contacted the cache owner awaiting further instructions.

I was going to do this cache tonight too .
I was so close, at Opportunity Knocks, I drove past anyway, just to see where the cache wasn't.

[This entry was edited by Team Unicycle on Wednesday, January 21, 2004 at 3:35:03 AM.]

Felt a bit silly wndering around GZ scratching our heads, one lady even asked us if we needed help, we gave her a quick run down on what we were up to and she said we were a bit odd! Lucky for her we pity the non cachers, they don't know what they're missing. Found it eventually tho. TNLN. Thanks Bonebabe.

Great Cache, pretty easy though.

We took the Halyard as it was too hard to fit everything else back in with it there, left a ring which tinkled nicley. Got some great looks from 'muggles'.

Interesting cache . Left a stickpin, lanyard and a car. Grabbed the RED LED light as this will come in handy for reading star maps (red light does not affect your dark adaption!!). Great cache.

clear skies, John

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
Found at 8pm. It was Brooke's first find where Team GeoCoopers are first to log the cache. It took only minutes to find.
Great hinding spot, Thanks Bonebabe.
