Archiving this due to poor location but I am learning. Thanks to those that have found or tried to find this.
Glad to see I got Feathertop to go up the tree before we realised it was archived 
Both of ended up with yellow paint on our hands from this one.
Thanks, Robmc.

Thanks, Robmc.
Rob convinced me to do this one so up I went and boy did I feel self-conscious!
Rob logged it, tosssed it back up and I was relieved we were not questioned.
Probably sensible to archive I think.

After a caching weekend I have discovered how much I hate caches so close to peoples houses, just because I know the people in these houses and I know they are loving the cache being there, I didnt think about the people looking for it. SO I have disabled this cache and will be archiving it as soon as I have picked it up. If you want to log it please hurry.
Sorry to those people I made feel uncomfortable - if this wasnt my cache I wouldnt do it due to where it is, I admire everyone that has logged it.

I found it, but couldn't retrieve it as there were some young muggles across the street doing things to their car.
I left and came back about 1-1/2 hours later to find them still doing car things. This is my last cache to do to complete all of emily~angels hides, so I will be back.

I am sorry I have deleted the posts from people that have claimed a find for this cache but not signed the log.
I came, I saw and I smiled, and the laugh is on you: I felt too exposed to try this one in day light. Maybe if I'm out here one evening I'll make an attempt at this cache.
Fun find!! GeoGF did all the work!! Took- gekko toy. Left- army men x2. TFTH!!!
This one made me smile. I had my son, aussie-icon with me so I made him get it. I enjoyed it, thanks.
Meh, I'm willing to play along for a smiley. Unfortunately it looks like I need to go do some pullups to develop more upper body strength, lose some weight, or bring along a ladder (or maybe all of the above)...
After arriving at GZ, the cache was immediately obvious.
I then paused to ponder why this cache was actually placed here. Place of beauty?, some interesting place of historical value? Methinks the only reason it was placed here was for the amusement of the owner and neighbours. As my main reason for caching is to visit interesting places, I hardly think that the front of someone's house is interesting, and for this reason I won't be logging a find.
P.S. and I don't pander to peoples voyeuristic intents -my idea of caching is to use stealth and to go unnoticed, not to be the object of entertainment.

a neigbour came out and scurried off to do something leaving us alone to complete the task, lucky we had jnr with us today with him climbing like a Koala
Found this one on my last caching Sunday for this year. 
This time I had 58 founds all in all.
It will be continue in 2010.
Time to go home for x-mas and new year’s day.
Thanks again for all the experiences. Greetings from Germany
Special this one was fun. When we found the location and still were sitting in the car.
The cache owner’s mum was already waiting behind the door.
And when we stepped out of the car, she jumped out terrified us to death
and offer us a special tool that is helpful for this cache. But we are strong and don’t need such a tool. [^]
It was a very funny situation. Thanks mum….
It’s a very lovely country but some of your birds are extreme ugly[xx(] (see attached picture)

Find# 606
9th find of the day.
Took: Nothing / Left: Nothing
What else to do on a great summer's eve than to go caching! Out and about in and around Elizabeth with AdrianMc. AdrianMc was elected to scale the tree to retrieve the cache.
Thanks for the cache emily~angel!

Seen it, smiled, laughed, climbed the tree, first time we ever signed the log book in a tree. Roflmao. Tftc
Found it, nice and easy... but didn't attempt to climb the tree as it was early in the evening thought about trying to push our three year old up to it, but in the end good parenting seemed more important planning on returning with a slightly older child...
thought about trying to push our three year old up to it, but in the end good parenting seemed more important planning on returning with a slightly older child...0933:26 - Arrive in car directly under tree. 0934:36 – Depart in car after finding, logging and scarpering. I used speed as my stealth – blink, and you would have missed me .
– blink, and you would have missed me .Easy peasy in the middle of the day while everyone is at work.
No branches were harmed in the caching of this cache.
I have a work car with 5 ladders on board.

I spoke to a neighbour by the tree last night and said I have to come replace the log book...
I woke to a phonecall of someone wetting themselves laughing asking me who fell out of the tree? I was a bit confused and told the person I hadn't been up the tree yet and for the next hour we were both laughing at images going through our heads.....wish I had seen this.
The broken branch has since been cut up and placed in the appropriate bins, with neighbours not happy they missed this visit.

O is for over weight frog, oops wrong series 
That wasn't thunder you heard but a frog coming down in a hurry

You had to be there. [:0]
We sent the one who jumps up the tree. I should say leaps. Skippy and Astro watched and took pics.
The Frog nearly fell and we had to both hold his ass up to keep him in the tree. We were smiling though the near by people must have been watching TV. No laughter could be heard.
No visible damage to the tree was done in the fall. We removed that.
Clear skies from TeamAstro.
(PS, take hand wash when caching).
Freddo the Frog was elected as the monkey for the evening. Skippy gave me a boost to get things started. Sorry I broke part of the tree. It seemed like a strong branch when I grabbed it but 100kg of tree frog was too much for the twig.
All quiet here at 2:45pm this afternoon [^], even though there were vehicles in the drive next to the tree.
Quickly climbed up and took a seat to open the container.
TNLNSL. Second visitor today.
The log book bag is badly broken already and needs replacing.
Thanks team Emily~Angel

Called by earlier and sussed out the location then went for a walk in Parra Wirra and thought about it a little.
I returned at about 1pm with a cunning plan on how to get this bright little fella.
All up it took me less than 2 minutes to retrieve, sign and replace the log
There were no blinds open in the nearby windows and surprisingly no cars in any of the driveways either so I'm pretty sure it was a success.
Cheers again EA.

LOL!
Not sure about smiles - we had lots of laughs in the late arvo!
clambered and climbed and waved to all and sundry!
Claimed by Gum-Nut - coaxed from her book and the car
Thanks for the fun!

Laughed at this one and waved as people arrived home next door, grinning!
A look at the Ants quickly covering the Seeker's body as he attempted the climb, soon had us calling for the long legged Gum Nut.
I was sitting at the computer when it came up and thought I would have a look.
Parrots are very shy and when I rolled up minutes after midnight took one look and flew away.
Will have to come back with the grandkids

Went out at 9pm and it was a lot cooler now. Headed back to this one with a piece of equipment and SA Mystery inc. Dog across the road started up as soon as we got there and didnt stop. It was still barking when we drove away.
People came home across the road while I was engaged with the task but they left us along.
I must have made an interesting sight.

An unscheduled reinstall of the computer finished just in time to get notification on this one - only 750m from home! With Mrs O tucked away in bed, Mr O went for a midnight FTF hunt armed only with a maglite/club in case any local predators got too close On reaching GZ, a quick shine of the light upwards revealed the cache and the retrieval ensued.
That first page - "Everyone is laughing at you now as they watch you" (words to that effect) - made me realise that there is absolutely no way, ever, that we would do this cache at any time other than in the small hours. We're shy cachers [8)]. TFTC emily~angel.
