It has been smothered with the tree and no answer from the owner must mean ..............
 
18-Nov-12
No luck, looked all over but couldn't find it. As mentioned before probably due to the tree being split in half and maybe burying it. Could the CO please check to see if it's still there?

Nope

We couldn't find it.

2/09/12 12:48 PM. Looks like the tree near where it had been hidden - judging by the photos - has come down in the recent high winds and has possibly buried this cache? 7 pairs of eyes couldn't find this one.

This sounds like a simple find but we had no luck today. The tree has recently split in half and I wasn't sure if that meant the cache had gone or was buried, or if I was just not looking in the right spot.

Pulled up at GZ park and had to wait for the muggles to walk by. The GPSr problems continued with it taking us off the path into the reserve. A re-read of the cache description bought us back to GZ. We put the GPSr (20m and 16m accuracy) away and made the find. SL, took TB and repalced

Nice quick find, actually the first thing I spotted was the cache pen on the ground nearby. Then had the cache, signed the log and put it all back with the pen on the inside this time. Thanks JuniorNsiyeti.

A quick find late in the afternoon. I dropped six trackables into this listing, four of which were retrieved by my partner in crime today, Smurfyguy. A few seconds after returning the cache some muggles walking a dog appeared up the steps. Phew!!! That was a close one!!! Big Grin

The clue had me thrown for a while. After I ignored that and started looking around it was fairly obvious where it was going to be. Nice little spot.

Reperio at 1720. Arrived here just on dark, bit didn't quite need the torch for this one as the cache was in the most logical spot. Couldn't see much of the reserve, but what I could see looked nice.

Gratias.

haha nice quick find , but watch out for the cranky neighbour who told us to make sure we take our cans and bongs when where done. Tried to explain the art of caching to him but i guess he see's to many kids here to listen.
Cheers

Today we had decided to pick at least 8 caches - to reach our goal of 1700 found. It had been raining all night, but a goal is a goal. This was the first cache today.
 
19-Mar-11
This one was still nice and dry (on the inside!!) anyway!! Parked at the bottom of the steps - it was quite like scaling a waterfall getting to the top... Today really HAS been one of 'those' days!!! TnLn, SL, TfTc JuniorNsiyeti Smile!!

I pulled up alongside Hayle Street in St. Ives, near the corner of Athena Avenue, feeling pretty confident that the CO's clue would take me to the geocache immediately.

And so it was. I quickly achieved CIH and attended to the logging formalities.

The cache container proved to be in very good shape and the contents -- including the log book -- were nice and dry.

TNLNSL.

Many thanks to JuniorNsiyeti for placing and maintaining this cache.

Nice little cache. Many thanks.

A nice quick find thanks. The description gives it away though.
I hope the regeneration people don't remove it, this is a nice area.

After a short walk through the park we were disappointed to spot the cache easily from some way off. After logging we tried to apply more camouflage. TNLN, thanks anyway for the hide.

Found with Akkatracker. TFTC

As I got here some two hours after publishing I knew all hope of a FTF was long gone and so it proved with the mocking name of alfyboy, the ubiquitous FTF hound, there in first place! I noted a footprint exactly where I was about to tread as I climbed up to GZ so I knew it had been found. Not sure this is the best spot where it is placed, it was difficult to replace the camo. Also the cache is a small rather than a regular and needs a pencil, I would have dropped one in but I didn't have a spare. Still in all good to see some new caches in a reserve that no one probably knows about.
Also dropped in a GC which akkatracker has grabbed already by the look of it.
Thanks!

Cache Hunt 290; GAFF1; Weather, Sunny/overcast; Helpers, none; Cache condition, Awesome. Find of the day, 2nd - STATUS - FTF
So on I drove to Banksia Reserve and pulled up pretty much in front of the path. Description was very descriptive so didn't need the hint this time. Down the stairs, a likely spot, Ahh CIH!! Was a little open, camo isn't doing it justice. Not sure how secure this one is in the position it's in, as Yurt mentioned, but a nice hide anyway. SL and * FTF * BooYaa Wink Replaced and tried to cover up cache, but camo wasn't playing nice. Thanx for showing me this area NSIYeti. TFTC.

Found with the hope of an FTF. Sadly we were only TTF.
A nice cache close to home.
