My Street! Locationless, Locationless, Locationless
By zactyl on 21-Aug-06. Waypoint GA0544

We are not likely to find a street with our first name or or cacher name so we are going to use or surname which we found a sign with Winwood on it.

It was my second day in Helsinki and I had already fallen in love with this city. I had just returned from Temppeliaukio church where I was interested in the science and design concepts of its construction. As I’m walking down a random street thinking about my day I saw my name on two large signs, “Wayne’s Coffee”. Fair enough, let’s do it. I walked in and said Hyvää päivää, my name is Wayne and I would like a small flat white please The lady laughed, probably more at my awful pronunciation of a formal Finnish hello rather than me being called Wayne. She then proceeded to make an excellent coffee, kiitos. I enjoyed that experience in a quirky kind of way haha. I also saw a Wayne’s Coffee in Estonia.

Of course I had to get a selfie, I figured it would come in handy one day
Thanks for the cache

A street named Gulliver Street in Townsville Queensland. Our surname is Gulliver. TFTC

My caching name Cybergran V - the V does not represent the Roman Numeral for five. I’m not Cybergran the Fifth.
The V is actually for my first name - Val
In the town where I was born is Vale Street, but I wasn’t able to block out all of the E, and Muggle Hubby’s eyes are not as good as they used to be when focusing the camera, so this is the best we could come up with for this challenge.

I have a very unusually spelt first name. So it is unlikely I will get the correct spelling. So I am substituting a town, which has a whole host of streets. I hope the CO will allow this.
Location is Roye in France Co-ords 49°42′03″N 2°47′28″E - taken from wikipedia - it is in the Somme region

Finally my moment to shine. There are many great Edwins in the world, but only a few have managed to get their own street. In Sydney there are two, and yesterday I was privileged to drive past one. I immediately stopped the car, jumped out and caught the moment of two Edwins at the same location!

After googling streets avenues roads I final found a place called tankee place, so grabbed a pen and got to work to make Tanso

Malcolm Place in Toowoomba

Found this street sign with my name on it. To high to get the GPS in the image.

Street with the English version of my caching name.

Not many street signs with my name on it and this street only had one as it was not a through road.

Sadly my street is one of the most pathetic little streets in Hobart. Its really more of an alley but we will take what we can get! A fun idea for a cache.

This cache is an expensive one for me. I came to my nearest Kelly St, that's just one town over, collected coordinates and took a photo on my phone which was its death knell. So blurry that you couldn't even see the street sign let alone read it. So, that afternoon, I acquired a new phone which has taken a much nicer picture this afternoon. TFTC Zactyl

Working in the CBD now gives many more options for locationless so while I dont do them regularly the summer games has me on the hunt again! Zalgar is sometimes referred to as "James", and odd name really, a bit hard to pronounce. However due to its amusing sound it was chosen for a street near Wynyard Station in the Sydney CBD. Cheers!

Found out my street name is a couple of blocks away from where I work on Friday's so off I went in my lunch break to get a pic. It's in an industrial area of Campbellfield with a Cafe right next to the street sign. Looks like a popular place too.

My name, my street!
If you believe that my name is Peter (which it is) then attached to the log is a photo of my street with my GPS (rather blurry, the phone camera doesn't do nicely with two things at different distances).
Peter Street, South Yarra is a short street, maybe 50m long if you wavered as you walked and you could literally throw a rock from one end to the other. Still, short street, long street, it's all a street and it has my name.
Thanks for listing this cache which is also being claimed for the Summer Scavenger Series.

I've always wondered if there was a road with my name. I found one in Ballarat and since then have wanted to go and find it. I didn't think I would get there, but alas a trip at Christmas took us there. I could not help myself but to go and take a happy snappy. The funny thing is, the town I live in has street names for my two elder sisters and their best friends, but sadly none for me and my bestie nor my eldest sister and her bestie. Great cache idea. Thanks heaps.

I found this cache today and was so inspired by it, I went out and found a street with my name on it right away. This is something I have been meaning to do for years (well technically, I wanted to pinch a sign, but my older more sensible self is just as happy with a photo)
Thanks for coming up with this cache I really enjoyed it.

Saw the locationless published recently (Aug 2015) and went out to get photo and when I went to log it saw note that there was an earlier similar locationless. There is a Chris Street and a White Street in Launceston. I got the White Street which is a tiny one way street

With the name of Pamela I didn't think I'd ever be able to get this one but today while caching in Launceston we drove past this court. After grabbing the cache we were after in the nearby park we backtracked to grab the required photo. Thanks.

In the Old Port area of Echuca. A very busy street as it's one of only two crossing points along the Campaspe River in Echuca.

Thanks zactyl.

Well that was a gruelling effort. I had to toddle all the way down to the end of the street my sister lives on to snap David St. You could say my sister lives on me. Nooo, that didn't come out quite right. The cache name might be a problem though. Plenty of TARred streets but not many TAR(dis) Sts. I could do my middle name though - John St is just a stone's throw away.

In Kingaroy today and I knew this street was here but no hurry to take a photo of it. William Street Kingaroy Qld. William is a family name that has been given to the eldest son of the eldest son on my fathers side since the mid 1780's. My Father was born in Cornwall England and all his forebears were either born in Cornwall or Wales. Tradition, where would we without it.

This is for all those Nannas out there who deserve to have a laneway named after them - just add your Nannas name.

I was off to have a look for Cluedo-White2 (GC4C5GA) and decided to walk down 'my street' on the way. Unfortunately as I was on my own, I couldn't get my mug into the shot but the O3 was there in all its glory at around 12:15.

WanderingAus wandered by on the way to checking on my cache GC12CTM Survey Marker (Hill Street Walk), and as I travelled through South Kalamunda Tomtom was telling me to turn right after three streets. I noticed Lewis Road was the first on the right, so I turned early and parked at the next intersection.

WanderingAus wandered by on the way to checking on my cache GC12CTM Survey Marker (Hill Street Walk), and as I travelled through Crystal Brook I started to wonder whether Tomtom was leading me astray (as it often does). I decided to turn off Welshpool Road at the next intersection so that I could pull over and check, and the next road on the left just happened to be Lewis Road. As it tuned out Tomtom was correct, but interestingly it chose a completely different route for my return journey.



My favourite camera died last week, so I had to resort to my Samsung PL120 dual screen camera. With a front LCD screen, it's very easy to frame a shot with yourself in it, but it has the disadvantage that it uses a Lithium Ion battery - the dead one used rechargeable penlights, which I carry for the two gpsrs as well.

WanderingAus wandered by heading to the Waroona Visitors Centre to give some advice on Geocaching to the Visitors Centre Manager and her colleague from the Harvey centre. They are enthusiastic about attracting people to the district through geocaching, and plan to buy several gpsrs to lend out for free. They also plan to place a number of geocaches to supplement those already there, and probably will also hold an event sometime in the future.

As I was approaching Serpentine I stopped to take a "Your Name Here" Waymarking photo for Lewis Road, which I wrongly thought I'd claimed several years ago for this cache. I've probably passed this Lewis Road more than a hundred times, and my son was married at a farm less than a kilometre down the road. My attempts to take a photo while holding the camera had some framing problems, but was nicely focused. Then I sat the camera on top of the post at the far end of the sign and used the self-timer, got perfect framing, and it was out of focus - probably focused on the top rail of the sign.

This photo is of my father, in front of the sign for the street named after our family. The Clarks were among the early settlers in the township of Eumundi, living there from the 1880 until the present day. The building in the background was previously "SunnyBrae", the Eumundi Hospital, where my Dad was born. I believe it is currently a community hall located at the new sportsgrounds.

This spot is a short walk away from GC18ZYC, The Black Stump.

Wise Court, Devonport, Tasmania
One of Mr y'sTs uncles lived in a neighbouring street and had a considerable amount of land behind his house. After his death, the land was subdivided and the court was named after him.

Was driving away from Mt. Victoria in the Blue Mountains when rogerw3 pointed out this street sign!

I had forgotten all about this particular Locationless but assumed one day I'd find this common name . . .

Anyhow, my only regret now what that I hurried with the photo, and my iPhone camera set its auto-focus on the GPSr and not on the sign. I should have asked rogerw3 to take my photo underneath the sign.

Anyhow, you can read the 'Patrick' fairly well . . .

WanderingAus wandered by on day 63 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after taking a run down to Coolalinga to refuel the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) decided we should get to Palmerston shopping area by a new route.

By sheer chance she drove past Bill Lewis Park in Bakewell, a residential suburb of Palmerston. I asked her to turn around and park to take a photo for me, and she was kind enough to oblige.



In the early 1960s as a teenager I was boxing under the name Keith Lewis in Perth. At the same time another boxer named Keith Lewis was fighting in Melbourne. Unfortunately one of his opponents died during a bout, and the news upset me so much that I gave up boxing, and started using the name Bill Lewis, my first name being William.

I was still using that name when I met my future bride, now the WanderingMrs, and it wasn't until the day before our wedding that my mum told her my name was Keith. One of Enola's brothers and his wife still call me Bill.
