On the Buses Theodore, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By ADAcache on 06-Jun-06. Waypoint GA0465

Since this cache seems to have been removed by the council I will archive it. It was a nice cache while it lasted.

Huston, we have a problem!


Ever had GZ disappear completely on you?

Yeah. The bus shelter that was there, is gone. Completely. You'd never think there was a bus stop there before.

Arrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noticed today (ironically enough, whilst on a bus), that there's a big fence surrounding GZ. Not sure if there's an entrance or anything, but we could soon have a problem.

i clearly didnt want to get rid of this one.
This morning, first bus stop i went to? Three police cars, and a few security guards were surrounding the bus that was stopped there. Ah, i'm not going to try there!
second one? It was too see-through.
third one? hadnt someone already used this seat?
fourth one? ok, it was about..500m away from where i grabbed it! where's the fun in that?
fifth one? ..oh my god where did i put it? OH! it's at home, in my other bag!

Went back tonight, to put it in it's new place. I believe buses dont even use this terminus anymore, (they stop on chippindale instead) so i could make this an awesome park-and-...place!

Yoooooooooooink.

Nice and easy find on the way home.

Going to replace the container, there's no lid...and im sure i'm not the only one who's not the biggest fan of creepy-crawlies inside caches. :S

Took Grandgeokids for walk after school and planted this. No good taking geogranny, does not know what a bus stop is and sees buses as moving chicanes or road hazards to dodge around.

LOL - I thought that since it hadn't been moved for such a long period of time I would grab it today and move it on. Had a big look and no luck. Was going to place a DNF but I could not find the cache name again associated where it was supposed to have been on North Bourne Avenue. Now I know why. After so long without moving 2 people go for it in one day!

It was there for a long time-busy bus stop though and on a main road.

I have this in my hot little hand, stand by to read its liberated destination in due course.

Was expecting this one to move on quickly being so close to the city. Checked it tonight and it is still where I left it.

Moved in closer to the city

My first movable! Picked this up out near Hackett and brought it in closer to the city.

Moved to a bus stop on the edge of suburbia. Less muggles - more desolation! Have Funn - Finno!

Found today in Watson - had to use a stick to remove all the spidery webs - ewww!

Found near my place - thanks Sam_Walkers!
Will move it on soon with the next trip out and about. The lid is missing, but it should keep dry inside a bus shelter!

Mmmm-oved again!

Placed in another bus shelter. This shelter is the one I get off when coming home. So if you are around 3pm you might see a mr_roo hopping around he might even have a pathtag

After trying this one with Albida a week ago I saw it was close by so decided why not go for a bike ride. Found quickly. TFTC

We were driving home from Her Majesties Postal Service cache and stopped near the bus stop. Dad told me there was a cache in there then told me I could get out and find and move it. So I got out found the cache and moved it to the next spot on my walk home.

This is the first time I have been caching alone.

Placed as instructed in a bus shelter.

Found in Tuggeranong, after meeting Psychokat and her movable cache!
A quick easy find on a cool Sunday afternoon.
Cache lid is missing, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Time will tell if I am blind or if someone has moved this one before I visited. Thanks. Albida.

Moved it today to a much busier spot with lots of muggles. have fun

Found!!

Placed this today. I found the perfect place which suited the colour of the camouflage perfectly, and a good fitting place for the container as well. I also added a couple of trinkets to add to the find You will need your own pen still. Hope you like the spot, it shouldnt be too difficult. The bus shelter I was going to put it in had no appropriate hiding places and so I had to go down the road. it isnt in a shelter as such but it is very close to bus pickup spot.

We found this today, it was very busy at the time and quite a few muggles were watching from within and very curious as to what we were doing. Also, parking was insane and took forever because of this certain time of year So yeah it's with me at the moment but we will find a new spot for it shortly. Very well camouflaged!

Moved the cache to a busier spot. Well at least it is busier for one month of the year. Time to stop and smell the roses.

Pick up after coffee this morning. Will move it to a busier spot

A quick touch up of the camo paint and back in business.... well the business of avoiding muggle bus riders and waiting for cachers!

Crystal warrior and I were passing through Kingston today and stopped to find the cache. We had classic confusion where we both thought the other searched the spot so, we missed it initially.

The outdoor diners seemed completely non-plussed at our arrival on the motorbike and as we went about our business. I will touch up the camo and put it out soon........ It's nice to do something different!

Rated: for Overall Experience

A dirrerent type of bus stop from the one I picked it up at and a different type of hide. Also a high muggle factor now.

My first GCA cache and my first moveable cache. I was stalked by a stray boxer on approach to this cache that I didn't like the look of, so a quick jog down bugden was in order to put some distance between myself and my dog, and it. This gave me time to make a quick grab (glad it wasn't on the roof!)

Rated: for Overall Experience

Moved to an almost identical sheltered spot just a couple of suburbs over. Log is taped back together and bagged now.

Crikey!.. this was almost in my front yard. Better move it before I get an infestation of cachers. A quick walk over the road and there it is just hanging around minding its own BUSiness.
Now to find a suitable resting place for it, the log also needs some TLC as it's falling to bits but I will fix that up.

Moved cache to a busier route - works on the 67 Tuggeranong service!

It's been here a while - maybe ACtion have changed the bus routes? Will place on a busier route

Found a hole in the map where this one could go.....

Grabbed this one after a long night at work. Will scout a new home for this one!!

Moved to a new location.

Found with Gwen.

Thanks.

As this poor thing wasn't in the ACT, Magpyre and I had to launch a rescue effort. Will find it a new home soon.

Love the idea of the cache though.

Found this after being told about it by another cacher
and as it is allready green i moved it to another green shelter
but you will have to look low

I love caches close to home!

Rated: for Overall Experience

SORRY for the delay - but its back sporting a new colour (will rub off) to make it a little more inconspicious. An interesting fact about this kind of cache is that it can hide very well hence its delay in being placed. The delay was because I lost just after finding it as it got stuck under the car seat and up..... All good now just had to pull the car apart to retreive it. Yes that is in A.C.T.

Grabbed this little bit of fun and have a special bus stop for it he....he.... he.....

Not a big move, but closer to home for me

Easy find close to home

This is a nifty idea for a cache, and one we are glad to move on. Only moved to Weston, but it travelled around in my backpack much further, including to places in Namadgi where strangely enough I did not find any bus stops!!

After a DNF, then a bus stop full of people up near Dickson (didn't even try) we found this was nearer home. Done!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Moved this cache along to a new bus stop.

I was in Canberra for a short visit, and thought this cache was interesting. Found quite easily on a cold morning in Canberra.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Just a small move

All I had with me were the coordinates for this one so I wasnt sure what I was looking for, but still managed to find it quite quickly.

Thanks SS-BJC for moving it to a convenient northside spot for me!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Ok after the excitement of 3 cachers simultaneously finding it and a couple of virtual drops, this is a real physical drop and it is now located in a bus stop in Northbourne Avenue near Dickson. Unfortunately the hide is not as tricky as where we just retrieved it from - as they have said previously, not all bus stops are created equal!

1(+859=860) 3pm with Captain Tomato

After a Namadgi cache, I traipsed along with CT for a couple of other southside caches. Then we went to pick up this one.

CT and I had done a preliminary search and were about to restart the search particularly on one "difficult" spot. A car pulled up and they said "Have you found it?" It was great to meet up with the Aussiepuschacks and have a chat. Mr AP had the strength to deal with the "difficult" spot, and hey presto, suck eggs winglen (just joking)

Well-hidden mbo and thanks ADAcache for this fun moveable cache. This is my very first GCA cache.

Logged the move, but not the find (still have my L plates on; thanks secret squirrel for pointing this out!).

Rated: for Overall Experience

Dropped it off again so Secretsquirrel-BJC can move it on.

Found this one on our rounds today. Met up with aussiepuschaks too - great to meet you both.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found this after some initial doubts due to Winglen's log (and a bit of help!). Now located on the northside.

We have often meant to pick up this cache while down here. Had a good look today and did not find it. Either we missed the one hollow where it is hidden or it is actually in one we looked into - or it isn't there. There are not that many possibilities, althought there are a lot of spiders!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Dropped off in a new bus shelter, In Canberra's most Southern suburb, on a stop for one of the Intertown 313 series.

Gotcha on my way home from work on the bike. Will drop it off in a SOUTHERN, VERY SOUTHERN bus-stop in the ACT soon, Coooeeeeee.

Nice quick nab then took it for a drive across town but not too Far(rer) away.
TFTC LivandMez!

Nice hide.
TFTC LivandMez!

easy find at the bus stop, just near my house. lots of chewing gum near the cache. have to be careful and wash your hands afterwards!

First I tried to place it at the aptly name GeoScience Australia bus stop, but there is no bus shelter there.

It has ended up outside my first ACT "home" (McQuarie hostel), now being rebuilt as The Realm Hotel and appartments.

There are two bus shelters close together. It is placed in the more cache safe one (orange seat)

For the life of me, I couldn't extract the log from the cache. Fortunately a pocket knife in my car had a pair of pliers in it.

Reentering coordinates? do not know where that express bus went.

Not quite so central. I have dropped it off just up the road.

Took a run out here to see what we could see. cache was quickly found after we stopped at a local sporting ground. That Magnet sure is strong. Will drop off after work tonight. Maybe somewhere very central.

Kept Cache in Weston Creek.

Closer to the Stars is closed so a quick move done instead

Cockatoos.

Had to wait for the bus and then outrace a commuter to the shelter to nab.

Rated: for Overall Experience

This should be easy to "peruse"...

Realised this was not too far from home, so grabbed it on my way past - googlemaps showed it on the other side of the road, which added an unexpected degree of difficulty, especially as I hadn't bothered taking a GPS. But all was well in the end - that magnet sure is strong! TFTC.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Hmmm - not as easy to relocate as I thought! It seems not all busstops are created equal!

Nice easy find... Although could be tricky at different times!

DID IT VERY QUICKLY

oh yea my first gca cache boooyaa.
tnln

Put into the bus shelter.

Found the micro at 2.30pm. Love your cache and SL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

Quick stop before the next bus come along.

Seems to not get logged as a find unless I log it AND move it.....

Got this one under way whilst in the ACT for the weekend. Moved to a similar looking location.
