All The World's A Stage Queanbeyan, New South Wales, Australia
By Trillian-N7 & Magpyre on 25-Aug-08. Waypoint GC1F8YV

I've been a bit out of touch lately and don't have time to cache much so it is perhaps time to let this one go.

looked everywhere at around 7am, nothing found, I agree with the previous posters, this may have been muggled. Looked for around 30 minutes with noone around at that time.

Had an afternoon hunt with geoboy, but found nothing.

When Hoojar and I first arrived here we looked high and low. I thought that i came upon the cache but it lead nowhere. We were confused as to where it was. We ended up leaving that night and by calling a friend we were able to get a clue. We headed back on Sunday and still came up empty handed, but we were still drawn to the same place and "ring" that I had initially looked at. With another call we confirmed that this was indeed supposed to be the cache. It is no longer there sadly.

This cache needs replacing.

As chip said, we had a DNF on Thursday night, and then again on Sunday afternoon. A call to a previous finder seems to strongly indicate that the cache is no longer there.

Was able to park next to GZ in the wee early hours.
JABs.

Took about 5 minutes to locate this one as i looked at greener option first then spotted the cache ! to easy really ! thanx for the cache

found cache quickly and we were off ! many thanx

Puk ed found this one and then insulted me by saying "I'm too quick". I think he mean't I just dart around without being the slow zen master of caching that he is but we all have different techniques.

TFTC

Spotted this one before lunch, but a Muggle over the road made it hard to get. CAme back after lunch for a quick drive by. Thanks

Good hide. Another one with P from PUDDLE GANG. TFTC

Made a half hearted stab at this in the dark, but without a torch and unsure of where I was actually meant to be looking, I'm not surprised at not being able to find this micro.

Had a little time to kill so tried a couple of caches, found easier than I expected but I have seen these before, clever. Thanks

good hide found early in morning

A few muggles around this afternoon so it was the fluro-vest and clip board disguise, soon found it signed and replaced quickly.

Excellent cache. I guess the term TNLN is a bit superfluous for this microcache
While I was hunting aroung the Loading Zone signs, my workmate found it no worries. It was his first cache ever! He always had an eye for detail

Thanks for a great chache.

A fishy find for this one. A nice hide in a spot I checked twice, before Mrs Bunny spotted the tell tale to the cache. TFTC

After a run of DNF's I was glad to find this. GPS had me at the wrong entrance and it took phoning a friend to identify the error - the GPS just wouldn't settle down. TFTC

Was watched closely by a construction worker - had to hang for a while before proceeding.

[:o)] Woo Hooo! My first find! Found on third attempt with Knightjosh as my wingman and trusty mugglewatcher. Sneaky indeed. I looked there on second attempt but didn't notice anything fishy. This go I had more muggle-free time to check a bit closer. iPhone GPS did not help at all, as it had us looking about 30m away from GZ on the previous attempts.

So, so happy to finally have a successful find. Oh, and first to sign new log.

Now, off for second attempt to find that sneaky little Star Walk hide.

Thanks for the great hide.

This was a cool cache. I swear the iphone gps had me and 7Thunders walking around the block looking very shifty. We looked everywhere, we probably broke a few of those rubber stops below airconditiong units in the front of businesses, we looked like we were mugging elderly people at the disabled ramp, at one point we were both running our hands disturbingly over the Q building. But kudos to 7Thunders for the find. Thanks for a great hide!

Easy find-I liked the double container as the rubber seal on the outer is perished.

TFTCsl

Searched and searched for this one over a couple of mornings, and just couldn't find it, even with the hint.

Was umming and arrhing over doing this one.
Got to GZ and decided that I was "loading" a cache so park nearby.
Walked past and back and to be honest I though it was a bit near the cache but hang on whats that?
Cool, problem is trying to run away with the cache is not possible.

Got the log and took back to car.
Then lost log in car as I had to shake it hard to get it out. Took me longer to find it in the car than it did the cache. LOL

Log is full. Someone has added a bit of white paper but I think it needs a replacement.

Cheers for a cool cache.

Spent a while looking for this one, I was expecting such a devious hidy hole. I love these micros.
Very muggled area as it's near an arcarde and walkway past the library, oh and a bottle shop nearby, oh as well as the people loading into the theatre and surrounding shops :S
Was a Sunday arvo, so was pretty quiet. Some muggles came by just after I retrieved it. I ended up parking my van in front to cover me putting it back, I'm so glad I never sold that thing.

I added a very short trip of paper so that more logs could be made, but I couldn't put too much as it rolled up too thick. Another 15 people might be able to log over both sides of this.

Had a quick look around, but was soon scared off by a bunch of hooligans smashing beer bottles. I don't think Saturday night was a good idea...

Easy find, was all quite so no stealth required, I can however see how this could be a very "Muggle challanged" cache. The log book it full.

Needs a new log book please.

Found easily which surprised me because it was a really clever hide
Someone asked me for directions to a certain shop because he hadnt lived in Queanbeyan long, he seemed shocked when I said I've only been here a few minutes myself
Great cache Gwennie1984 & Magpyre, thanks for showing me the 'Q'.

550. Nice hide there, nearly had us logging a DNF until GeoTeen's eagle eyes spotted something and BINGO . Thanks for the cache and for showing us where to find The Q!

Found with jusojara. Think I told ja to look at the ones that have something. Something gave it away but was a fun hide TFTC

Third stop for the afternoon with mr_roo and after looking in one spot for a while I happened to glance at a location I had previously scanned and saw the tel-tale sign of the cache.

The log was soon signed and the cache returned to it's hiding spot.

A tricky little hide made more difficult by the fact that it took me a while to realise that I hadn't switched the GPSr over from on-road to off-road navigation. Once I had done that, it led me straight to GZ, where I noted something out of the ordinary, and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache Gwennie1984 (or should that be Trillian-N7?) and Magpyre

Rated: for Overall Experience

A nice clever little hide. Fortunately there were very few muggles today and I have seen a few similar hides which made the search easy. TFTC

My GPSr wasn't beaving so close to the buildings, and then the muggles came. I went for a short walk checking out another cache, then retrieved this one on the return.

TFTC.

Found it quickly. Nice cache

It was raining, there were muggles, it wasn't my fault, and anyway it was my RDO....
Don't you hate it when it is eventually found in the first place you looked?
Allrounder parked to provide us some cover, and when the muggles stopped smoking, we started looking. Took a while, until Allrounder found it.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found @ 6:37pm with RobMc

Had to use the hint (which is a good one) only to find that it was in a spot that Rob had already "checked".

This was my first cache for the day. With a keen eye I noticed the out-of-place item which resulted in a find.
Thanks

Can't beleive it took us 4 attempts to find this one, nice little hide very glad to of finally found it

A fairly quick find once I let the muggles go by. Took a little thinking to find it. Nicely done. Cheers Gav [3479]

Left the stairs alone as per previous logs and having clue in hand walked straight over to where it must be. Bingo! One of the better hides going. TFTC.

Couldn't fing this, went to the stairs in the alley like everyone else seems to have done and didn't find anything, like others before me.
looks like I am not finding this just now, maybe after a few more urban discoveries

TFTH

Last one for the day. It took an eye specialist to help me see this one. After the eye drops I had better night vision than an owl ( day vision was very poor though) So may be thats what helped us on our seconed visit to GZ.

Yay! I broke my caching drought again! Dvixen and I had lunch in Queanbeyan, and then decided to wander around looking for a couple of caches.

Found this one without any trouble, after we'd circumnavigated the whole building first! It was pretty much where I expected it to be, once I'd looked at the GZ.

Nice container too!

TNLNSL TFTC!

Found with Eynowd as we took a lunch break on the way to visit a friend. Since it was the first a while for us both - I led us the long way for that last 60m.

TNLNSL, TFTC!

I had a look for this the other day and wound up searching under stairs with no result, after reviewing logs and the hint I went straight to it w/o any issues at all today. No problems with anyone around early in the morning.
TFTC

I headed over this way this afternoon for what was almost a very quick drive by. A clever little hide at a facility that I did not know existed until today. Had a little trouble removing the log from the container but a little persistence with a sharpish object paid off. TFTC.

Started off on the wrong side of the building but soon had things sorted out and found the cache without a hitch early in the morning.

Done late at night on the way back home, not a muggle in sight
TFTC

Found with mtrax, we nearly got muggled with this one. As we were signing the cache a car pulled up. The driver got out, he gave us a funny look then carried some stuff towards the road.
I'm sure he's still think what were they doing.
TFTC

this took a small bit of searching and after a small amount of searching we found it...
got the log but just as we where about to return it someone pulled up so we had to wait till it was muggle free to return the log.. and move on to our next cache of the day.
thanks

I forgot to log this find last Sunday, It must have been my 12th for the day with McPhan. Thanks for the cache, have been to a number of shows here and never been disappointed.

1465. A relatively quick find after wandering over from Visit Queanbeyan. Even got to walk past the old CBA branch where I was relief manager a couple of times. Of course once the log was retrieved we had to wait for the young'uns with their pants three quarters of the way to the ground to move on. Surely it's gotta be hard to walk like that, and I guess running is almost impossible - not a good way to be in QBN .

TFTC and the clever hide.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found at 1415. As DJ said, we almost walked by this one until we decided that we'd actually better start following the arrow, then we looked at it...it said 1m, we turned and saw the cache. Now why can't all caches be that easy.

Thanks guys.

Almost walked right past this one as Marcus and I were deep in conversation. I have a dozen of these containers at home, all waiting to go out. Interesting to see how others use them for a few ideas.
Cache spotted when we were right on top of it.

TFTC, Cheers.

Found with SuperJaz, Bewilderbeest and Ultra Violet Z on our Queanbeyan outing [^]. This is a well hidden cache.

Thank you thank you!!!

What a neat little hide - very nicely done. This was #6 for me on our Qbn run today. TFTC

Dunno how to describe it, just:

TFTC

Very nicely done, thanks. Would have looked for ages, if SuperJaz hadnt peaked at the clue.Fortunately the mugles were sparse enough we were able to take care of business without attracting suspicion.

Its good to see caches hidden in these locations - this is yet another edifice that wasnt in existence during my 20 years living in Queanbeyan. Very impressive it is too, good to see some culture in the ol town.

Thanks Gwennie & Magpyre, a very enjoyable cache for an old Qbn boy.

Rated: for Overall Experience

I am starting to learn the sneaky way things can be hidden around here, so found without too much trouble. Good hide, with luckily no muggles in sight.
Thanks for the hunt, Gwennie1984 & Magpyre.

Found this one really quickly thanks to the eagle eye of Urch. Fortunately we were out of sight of any muggles - as it is hard to not look suspicious when loitering here. TFTC.

Saw this cache last week on the GPS and thought tonight was a good time to grab it, cool hide nearly missed it, luckly for me wasptor was on the ball. TFTC!

Once the GPS settled down, we managed to find this one without too many issues. My thoughts were on the right track luckily, and spotted it pretty quickly. Was our last cache for the evening, and then it was off to dinner and some late night horticulture...

Nice and easy on our way back from Bungendore, thanks Gwennie and Magpyre. Nicely concealed. I was even allowed to hold and use the other half's Oregon!

Quick easy find Why ? no one about signed the log and departed

#354 - 3rd find on a Queanbeyan visit. A sneaky hide. Nice container with the inner capsule. Thanks for the cache

Of course Whilst I found it quick enough, when it was time to put it back, people started dribbling out of the buildings rear. There was a gap and it was safely replaced OK. Thanks.

(#109) Found 1900...finally! This was the 4th attempt with Team Dean, and like others before us we needed assurance about that alley! Another search and bugger me if we hadn't stuck our fingers into THAT hole about 50 times previously!! TFTC!!

Found 19.10 with HumphreyBBear

We had been up and down that alley time after time after....finally we found it! What a great hide.

TFTC we FINALLY found it.

This one frustrated me and stayed on my mind for a while. First time I went, I had no success in finding it. It was a miserable day and I didn't want to hang around for too long. The second time the weather was just as bad and I still had no luck. After calling in a friend and combining GPS co-ordinates I realised the GPS I was using was leading me too far astray. Once in the right search area, it was a reasonably easy find. Very clever hide.
I recommend taking some tweezers for this one though. The log is stored rather securely!!
TFTC but I'm glad it's ticked off my to do list now!!

The GPS has me going deep into the alley so the first couple of times were frustrating looking and not finding anything. I had to get a clue from Gwennie saying that I wasn't meant to go into the alley. After that clue and searching with sw2029 we came up with it pretty quick. TFTC!

Found at 16:30 with matt_stomper.

Once the GPSr settled down, it led us straight there. I was expecting another type of (very similar) hide with this one, so it was an easy find. The hardest part was getting the cache log out to sign it

Thanks Gwennie1984 & Magpyre

i have spent a lot of time looking for this cache
and thaught i would try again after a meal of balmain bugs
and bingop there it was stareing me in the face

tftc

He he - found it in the first place I looked! The first time I looked as well - decided not to spend 20 more minutes searching, only to find it again in the first place I looked. - Nice hide. Thanks Gwennie1984 & Magpyre!

On my first trip it was too busy but persistence paid off and I was able to find it the second time. It's a busy area so, it's hard to be "normal" while fossicking around!

Rode out here early in the morning, thought it was East of the river, rocked up to a fast food joint carpark, ripped out the GPS, "G'Day MBO" - called out oceau from a nearby car. After a quick chat, I realised the cache was ~1km away.

So off I went, the WHOLE place and the main street still deserted at 7:30am. Parked the bike in a convenient alcove, looked at a few possibilities, then searched some more. Saw much evidence of a squirrel having scratched around!
Found it 20 mins later where I first looked !!!! TWICE - AND FELT! (hey I had my sunnies and gloves on - well thats my excuse)

Great hide Gwennie & Magpyre.

Then it was off to Cook to find another cache.
A great day for caching and Road bike riding, a 91km loop from home, 2 caches and info found for one, Coooeeeeee.

1020(+9=1029) 2:30pm

I should have realized that I would be in for a tough hunt - it is a Gwennie1984 cache. The GPS wanted me "further in" to a location with many possibilities. And I didn't have my reading glasses on, so in the end the last place I looked was the first place I looked - just with 25 minutes in between. I even circled the building to see if there was another alleyway. Of course, my GPSr is so dodgy - that doesn't help.

Thanks Ellie for the fun of the hunt and for showing me the Performing Arts Centre - nice!

2nd of 3 finds for me during a morning run with AusCan.

Managed to grab a 15 minute park on the nearby street and thought that should be enough time. Took about 3 minutes to make the actual find , but then about 10 more to remove the log sheet . Oh dear, I must find those tweezers.......

Thought the hiding spot was great, love the high muggle factor, that's always fun. The log container was cute as well.

Overall, thanks for a great little hunt and find.

Cheers,

540 - Like Sol says this is a fun little find with the added muggle factor built in.

Yes - must add tweezers to the cache pack. And the 'inner' container is quite cute.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

went out for first to find how un fair!!! matt found it on the way back from the air port with shells help we all looked around but matt beat us to it!

After a few days in Tassie, and a lousy trip home with late flights, Shell rings me just after landing saying that there is a new local cache. Driving down the road entering the coordinates I was soon at the GZ (not really recommended at night there are a few unsavoury characters around), after a brief search I was heading back to the car to get some more light and I spotted MCKENNA and Budgie. After lending them a torch, I soon came up with the first to find. That makes two in two states this week!

Thanks Gwennie1984 & Magpyre for the cache and sorry to beat you Budgie and MCKENNA. Now I'm off to Wollongong tonight for a few days.

TNLNSL

One Day I'll get a FTF ...... We had deflection trouble but soon had it sorted bolted round the corner and there was Big Matt BUGGER....... We were real fast but he pipped us at the post..

Had fun great to see you again Matt.

MC KENNA and Redbudgie.
