Wire We Here Punchbowl, New South Wales, Australia
By steptoe on 06-Mar-10. Waypoint GC24MP5

Having now vanished two times, I am archiving this cache.
For the record, the clue was
Crushes lizard, but vaporised by spock
which means ROCK.
For those familiar with rock/paper/sissors, the newer 5-way version made popular by TV's Big Bang Theory is rock/paper/sissors/lizard/Spock.

What CC said, and no idea what the clue means.

It was a very very hot day today when we turned up at this location. We searched for a while and what I kind of hate about these types of locations are that either people are parked in cars (BECAUSE ITS A BLOODY CAR PARK) so they think you are trying to break into them or the local store owners are warey because you are searching all around their back yards...

Look high and low but couldn't find this one. Maybe one of those car owners viewed the last geocacher and now has moved the cache? just a thought??

I stopped off a week or so back and checked this cache, and was was indeed missing, but I forgot to log/disable. Sorry to those who attempted since then (Christmas long weekend).
Giving it a rethink, but likely this one will be archived.

Disappointing end to the day - got to GZ, and the roller door next to the Scouts property was open, and 3 people were parked there pottering about in clear sight of GZ.

They weren't going anywhere in a hurry, so I tossed in the towel and vowed to return another day. There was a fair bit of bulky 'stuff' at GZ...it that always there, or is this spot susceptible to illegal dumping, steptoe?

Cheers,

CC.

Quick find for our first Sydney find, short walk from hotel. Log book was wet tryed to dry out a bit. Tftc

Found fairly quickly but log is very damp. Sorry I couldn't wait around to dry it in this morning's sunshine. TFTC

Took Geobuddy chuggers along who found the cache for us! Some slugs decided to linger on the cache, which was kinda gross. Nice hiding spot, a fun find!
TFTC!!!

I like the container. GPSr was a little off but perserverence prevailed.
A quick drive by after the GeocachingNSW AGM event.
Thanks steptoe

Luckily a quick find as I had to double park while other cars circled for premium spaces. Cache literally dropped out of it's hidey hole as I honed in on the most likely location.

Nice easy find! Descriptions were awesome

Loved the cache container.. or should i say the hide... Thanks

Nice easy find. Found with club_bindi. TFTC. Loved the camo.

Took a little bit to find as the gps couldn't make up its mind. On Chippyroo's Sydney 24 hour Cache Hunt. TFTC.

My GPSr was unkind to me today.
Eventually I got where I needed to be. Nice camo.
SL, TFTC.

Good one and enough clues for beginners

came in from wrong direction and had to reconfigure, eventually found it and logged thanks to steptoe another nice cache

As usual when I was at GZ replacing the cache, a muggle, in this case a cub scout, came out of the building, probably saw me, not sure if she knew what I was doing though.

Thanks for a simple fun hide.

Quick and easy find. Great geocache for beginers.

The last time that I was here searching for the cache the cache was MIA. Today the cache was found within seconds Back to the car and off home after being in the area for work.

Cheers

Easy finds!

Easy find!

Nice hiding spot. Quick find with kids this afternoon.

Waited for locals to split before I hit GZ. Grabbed the cache. Great camo container. Good work. SL TFTC.

Cache Hunt 272; GAFF1; Weather, Sunny; Helpers, None; Cache condition, Good. Find of the day, 1st - STATUS - Found
Coming past here, I checked gps and saw the updated logs by CO saying all was good and cache was back in action. So stopped off and followed gps to gz. Many cars around, but all still shopping or at work I guess, as all were empty. Went straight to possible hide, and ohh there you are little fella. Nice camo Did a quick SL and returned. Used to come here to this hall as a scout and venturer. TFTC.

Easy peasy tftc

Sevabo and I were diverted and stopped here and found it by sevabo, when we were on the way to 5th Annual Illawarra/South Coast Get-together Events. Thanks for bringing us here. SL

On the way to 5th Annual Illawarra/South Coast Get-together Events, quick stop and found it easily with skyejam Thanks for bringing us here.

Great cache and a clever hide. The hint was intetesting, but too oontuse for me

Nice and Easy Find Thanks

After a long break, I have this re-camo'd and back on line.
It has also dropped a size, to become a film canister instead of a key case - the key case was out in the open, the new container is out in the open, but fairly well camo'd.
As a result the hint has been changed as well, although it could be obvious enough without one (you may or may not understand the hint, google will help if you don't).

checked this morning,
gone.
will rethink with suitable camo.

Back again during the day this time and still no luck, might have been muggled?

On my way to Sydney for work today and I decided to make a quick detour. Sadly I could not turn up the cache anywhere.

Thanks anyway.

DNF, did not see, too many people doing "it" in their cars made this one an awkward cache to try to find at night. Might retry this one during the day, if we get over the emotional scaring of what we witnessed during the night.

DNF, was too dark, couldn't see anything too obvious. Lots of people threw us off, kind of awkward with a lot of foggy cars around..

Found around 10am on a Sunday- Scouting Geosons 12th Birthday.
Just as we retrieved it a troop of scouts and ventureres emerged from the hall- making the placeback a bit of a wait.

quick find on a trip north with dunko TFTC SL

Quick find with Slink1 on our sojourn into NSW for a mix of business and caching TFTC TNLN SL

An early drive through saw me visit this spot and I soon had the cache in hand. was in the second place I looked. Nice hide in suburbia. TFTC

A quick find, not in the spot I thought, but it was visible through the cracks, SL TNLN TFTH

A nice find, with no muggles about today. TFTH...SL....TNLN

Started at the front, no that can't be right. So headed around the back to scratch our heads for a while before it was finally spotted. Being into shortwave and FM radio reception I felt at home with all the antennas. Thanks steptoe.

A quick early morning find as I headed over to Potts Hill.
Thanks

I thought as well, what am I doing here? Untill I saw what the building is used for and all made sence!

Right about the wires. Found easily. Plenty of Parking on a sunday afternoon

You can be lucky with parking some days with a muggle just pulling out of a spot I was only meters from GZ. Soon found the cache and the fresh log book. TNLN thanks.

EASY FIND THANKS

Cache has been dried out and a new log book with a ziplock bag has been added.

Hey steptoe, the log is effectively dead Soaked and unusable. Needs replacing and perhaps a ziplock bag

Grabbed instantly but as reported no zip bag = dead log book Squeezed as much water as possible out of it but it will need replacing. See Maintenance Log Cheers!

Rated: for Overall Experience

was very suspecious by next door restaurant or so, with official tie they thought I'm from city council lol.
BTW the log book is so wet that I couldn't even write in it!!

TFTC

Had a good hunt for this one, but it beat us, and we decided to move on. Cheers Gav

This one had us beaten.

You don't want to be short for this one, Took a little while to figure out where the cache was hiding while trying not to look suspicious but i found it in the end.
Thanks for the cache

The cache was found easily enough but didn't quite seem to be in the right spot- maybe it was though. Put it back where found and on our way again. TFTC!

Gee's it looks like they squeezed in this funny little building here, wasn't sure where to look for the cache without looking suss but eventually got there, Thanks for the cache

This is one block away from my normal drive to work.
Felt very suspicious lurking around the back of the shops but as always, no one gave a second glance.
Nice job lads.

5am - YES my very first FTF!!!!
Been trying but always beaten by the seasoned Cachers.
Back home now (Liverpool) relaxing.
Caching is good! Bacon and eggs is good!
