Obvious place fits clue and spoiler pic but nothing there Sad

Went to look for this one and went to what I thought was the obvious spot, but no joy. Then widened the search and still no joy and no other place where the hint made sense. Came back to my original location to have a better look/feel and came across a geocache size pencil sitting along the groove. I think this one may have been muggled and needs to be checked. Thanks for the hunt smersh. Smile

Hmm. I found a spot that made sense with the clue, but in the fading light I couldn't spot anything and eventualy moved on.

Our 3rd day of caching in Adelaide, today we teamed up with Earthlight & with her local knowledge of the area made this a very interesting & successful day of caching.
This was one of the caches we found during the day.
Thanks smersh

Made the find pretty quick. Always a challenge to remove these ones quietly. TFTC..

Little laneways always feel uncomfortable but cache quickly located and on way. TFTC

Mother and I were feeling a little slumped at home, but we all know what the cure for being bored is!? GEOCACHING! We thought we'd go and grab some of the city caches near South Terrace because we'd never been there before. Sooo glad we went! It takes you away from the hustle of the city and you can begin to really enjoy the beauty of Adelaide!

This was cache 7 out of 9 for the day, with 1 DNF that we'll grab another day.

I felt a little James Bond-ey creeping around the back streets, thankfully, no one came out to say hello! Nevertheless, mother actually found this one, she's turning out to be a better cacher than me! haha Very Happy TFTC smersh!
 
23-Feb-13
A great day out with 'Liz and Bruce' and 'Moneydork' doing some caches in nearby suburbs of Adelaide.
We found a number of caches, this being one of them.
Many thanks for the hide, smersh.
 
16-Feb-13
It was very quiet around this area today, without a noise to be heard. It did feel like the windows had eyes though. Thanks to the good hint, the cache was located within seconds. The most difficult part was extracting the log from the tin. Luckily we carry tweezers with us for such occasions.

I don't think I've ever watched a single James Bond movie. They just don't appeal to me. Nice cache though!

Thanks smersh.
 
10-Feb-13
Found on a night caching trip with LionJRB in the Adelaide CBD. I am from Ballarat and I have very much enjoyed finding caches in a city I have never been to before. TFTC Smersh
 
22-Jan-13
After tea decided to head out and try some caches in the city. After waiting for some people to leave it was a nice quick find. TFTC
 
16-Jan-13
Found with gfherkominator and papa gemelli on our night cache. Met with the owner of the house, he wanted to know what we were doing. TFTC
 
16-Jan-13
Out on a bit of night caching with Papa Gemelli and Astro Mistro... TFTC

Met the owner of the house, he just wanted to know what we were doing.
 
11-Jan-13
I needed to use the hint to find this smoking gun. Thanks for the hunt.
 
09-Jan-13
Well, that's a pretty cool cache if it's golden! Found in a maze of alleys as number 3 of the day while out getting some supplies to repair our christmas lights. Had to be quiet due to the people in the house! Great cache and definitely golden! TFTC.
 
05-Jan-13
Cool - found a golden cache. thanks smersh!

Good hint!

Found the golden cache ... hidden in these back lanes and alleyways of Adelaide.

Added Seek3rs sticker and date to the log.

TFTC Smersh
 
20-Nov-12
Nice one! Definitely felt like a bit of a spy creeping round these back alleys. Very nicely hidden little cache. Got the right angle and spotted it. I guess my find pretty much coincides with the release of the new Bond film too (give or take a few days...) TFTC, Biggles.
 
31-Oct-12
Been here before a long time ago, but was scared off by muggles. This evening was able to make a quick find with no muggles to worry about. Interesting halloween decorations at a nearby house! Smile
 
24-Oct-12
So quiet down here tonight, I was scared to even breath...

The Gps went beep I shit a naughty work and I pointed "there there" I whispered... and there she was..

Aww and shes gold too Very Happy:D

Thanks for the cache Smersh Very Happy
 
24-Oct-12
It was scarey down here tonight.. i was so scared to make noise because it was completely silent. When Darknstormy replaced the cache he made a little bit of noise and i ran ha ha. Im such a scaredy cat Razz TFTC
 
30-Sep-12
Found at night with geowife........good fun....had a giggle or two.......TFTC.
 
29-Sep-12
That was easy Smile go Sydney lol tftc
 
20-Sep-12
Found quickly after the exercising muggles closed their roller door! Two out of three for the morning - urban caching takes a lot of time in nice weather like this.
 
08-Sep-12
On our last day in the lovely city of Adelaide we decided to scout out a few urban caches early in the morning. On approach to GZ we felt a little unnerved as it was so quiet here, Keego spotted the cache but retrieving it quietly was the trick. We then had to replace the cache and as we did the occupant of the property came outside, so a quick placement and then scarper, SL TFTC smersh
 
18-Aug-12
We had a wedding to be at later in the day, but still a few hours up our sleeve before we had to start getting ready. What else would we do but cache? We haven't cached much in the city so we threw the bikes into the ute and off we went!

We had enough time for most of the traditionals in the south-east quarter of the CBD and a few in the parklands. It was a nice day apart from a little bit of drizzle at one point. We only had a couple of DNF's and came across a few creative caches along the way.

We started our search and just as Mr M-SEZ was about to start pulling out something completely wrong we could hear someone nearby heading for their car. After ducking round the corner and waiting them out, we returned for a quick find. TFTC
 
17-Aug-12
Amazing what you find in lane ways.
Thanks smersh.
 
10-Aug-12
I'm sure 007s car could drive through these walls due to Q
 
20-Jul-12
Tftc found after a bit of searching
 
11-Jul-12
Found on the way home from work while navigating the dark streets of Adelaides South East. Quick find after reading the hint, as gps was all over the shop! TFTC Smersh!
 
02-Jul-12
Struck gold today. Found exactly where I couldn't find it a week or so ago. Go figure. Thanx
 
01-Jul-12
We were very close to here so walked over and into the back streets.

A little searching between clare007, ~*KittyKat*~ and myself and ~*KittyKat*~ did the locus cache for us.

Not quite where we would have expected it to be after reading the hint however I have learned that searching the area is also a good thing to do Wink

This was number 21 out of 24 caches for me (14 of which were Freddo's) and, I think, 11 types for the day.

SL. TFTC smersh Smile
 
01-Jul-12
Found It!
I've had a few goes at this one but eventually I rang hgl for a hint...
Sadly, since it's PM only I can't see the description so I'm not really sure why this one is here...
TFTC anyway
 
01-Jul-12
As we were in the area after completing Stop & Smell the Water lilies challenge, we wondered into a maze of urban car parking. KittyKat came up with the goods, eventually.
 
08-Jun-12
got a Very Big Hint from a geocacher on a chance meeting at St John's church recently. So I think I was where the height changes and felt where I thought the cache would be, but no luck.
 
02-Jun-12
While Di was in the nearby medical establishment I went for a walk in very quiet streets.
No luck for me though.
 
01-Jun-12

12-Apr-12
Thanks for the quick find it was in the 3rd place I looked.
 
31-Mar-12
I approached this from the North. There was no chance of me getting the Mighty Mirage around that tight corner, let alone an Aston Martin.
 
18-Mar-12
quickly found golden brick and moved onto next...thanks again smersh
 
18-Mar-12
Found the cache and started signing log, heard a stir in nearby houses. Put the cache back and rode off

Tftc
 
24-Feb-12
Had a bit of a look but it was too hot to hang around too long...
I can't read the description since its PM only which doesn't help...
Will be back one day... (when its cold and raining!)
 
13-Feb-12
Think an Aston might struggle with the corners. On foot is easier James. Tftc
 
07-Feb-12
Quick stop at 7am, quiet as a mouse here...
 
05-Feb-12
Ah. the last trad left for me in the city grid not counting the ridiculous hide in Rundle St!
Thanks smerch, the cache was golden as promised.
 
05-Feb-12
Nice hide. No party in the yard today like last time.
This time the party was around the bend. TFTC
 
15-Jan-12
Visiting for the Tour. Spent a couple of hours caching on my walk up to the criterium tonight. Thanks for the cache.
 
14-Jan-12
Could you actually fit an Aston through these streets?

Finally found a cache in one of these convenient hiding places. I keep looking but they're hardly ever used. Great to look there and find one. Nice colour.

Thanks for the cache, smersh.

10-Nov-11
Reperio at 1900.

The entire time I was standing at GZ, I was thinking how I was going to explain myself if someone came around the corner. Lucky I didn't have to find out as the cache was found swiftly.

Gratias smersh.

The GeoHusband was wandering here and there while the GeoWife was amazed at all the voices behind all those fences. Never knew there were so many little side steets and allys and city dwellers residing here. After several minutes of the GeoHusband pacing and wandering, the GeoWife looked where we have found them before and sure enough, there was Gold Bullion to be found in them there allyways. A resident came out to walk his mutt while we were signing the log but he only walked him to the end of the lane then retreated back from where he came. Perhaps he forgot his doggie do do bag or did he know what we were up to and didn't want to frighten us away. If he was being environmentally friendly then good on him, if he knew what we were up then next time say, Hi. If that was as far as he took the doggie walkies then bad daddy for being so mean to the mutt.
 
19-Oct-11
Was able to leave some paper to sign but will need replacing again in a short time. TFTC
 
10-Oct-11
Love these little back streets, but I nearly got skittled as I wandered about with head down in the GPS. Watch the narrow lanes and quiet sports cars. TFTC
 
30-Sep-11
A quick find. Pouring with rain so no one around.

Needs a new log.

TFTC
 
28-Sep-11
Looked for this one last time we were in Adelaide with no luck. Goes to show that a little more caching experience is all you need. Nabbed this one fairly quickly this time.
TNLN SL Thanks Smersh for the cache
 
27-Sep-11
This took a few visits - four I think. On the first three visits I was disturbed by muggles. (on the third one there was a moving van in the way!)
The log book is full, but I didn't have any paper with me today, sorry.
 
01-Aug-11
Finally got this one off the dnf list! Great hide, and the cache is actually gold!

22-May-11
All fine in place.
 
08-May-11
Will check it out.
 
07-May-11
Please could you check as return back and search but still no container on my hand yet. DNF for me. Thanks.

Watch Listing.
 
01-May-11
Come with bushies2 - too wet so give up. Another time will do. Thanks.
 
27-Apr-11
No joy with this one...even the hint didn't help...felt uneasy for poking around in the back lane so we gave up.

Found a nice yellow car - but no golden cache. Short on time, so I had to bail Sad
 
08-Apr-11
Clever hide in a little secluded lane. Log book is full. Thanks smersh for the cache.
 
01-Apr-11
On a short stopover in Adelaide before returning home from our holiday in Tasmania.
Last cache of the day and our last for Adelaide. By the way, the log book is full. TFTH
 
12-Mar-11
Done it at night. Ninja style thanks
 
28-Feb-11
'Q' had outfitted the pushbike with a couple of rocket launchers and an oil slick maker, especially for this mission Smile
I was riding deep into foreign territory here.
But all was strangely quiet and not a solitary ninja or dwarf attacked me as I snuck up on the cache [:o]
Oh if only it was this easy to save the world all the time Razz
I found the cache and entered my finders code.
After that it was "Goodnight ?" Big Grin

'If' will return in "Pushbikes are Forever"....and "Ride Another Day" Big Grin
 
25-Feb-11
Fast grab after work, but a little disappointed it wasn't a golden pistol Wink TFTC

Sweltering hot day, and gps not working well.
