After logging a DNF here a few weeks ago on one of my very first cache hunts, I spent some time thinking carefully about this one. It paid off. Miz Wacket and I returned tonight and found it almost straightaway. This is the first one like this that I've found, and it gets an FP for cleverness and consistency.
There's NO WAY I would've found this without steelpaw today-very clever hide(in plain sight). Thinking outside the box indeed!! TTFC!
Had a fun day out picking up caches on a soggy Sydney morning this was the second last on the lst. At GZ, I knocked out a couple of pull ups whilst the muggles passed by then it was time to find holey prime. I was definitely looking in the wrong spots at first due to the title of the cache, then after some lateral thinking and quick calculations I soon had cache in hand. Excellent cache. Thank you Bells Angels.
This cache is missing something that makes it unique but is still there. Maintenance incoming
#1522 (6 of 6 today)
Needed a cache or two today before installing a TARDIS at Sydney University for O-Week. Yep, one of those normal days.
So I headed out this way to see how many I could grab before needing to head back. In the end I managed to make 6 park and grabs.
HUZZAH!

Still had a bit of time, so doubled back to grab this cache.
Quite a few people in the park, but the only ones near GZ were facing the other way.
Spotted a likely GZ, so checked it and spotted the cache. Made the grab and took a short distance to complete signing duties.
Then back for the replace.
Still have some time. I can grab info for Jack in the box...

While in the area we dropped by, but someone was sitting close to where the phone was suggesting. So we retreated and returned a couple of hours later to find no one about.
The phone still pointed to a particular place and we could see that some searching had taken place before - but we found nothing. Then a recheck of the phone moved us a few metres to the side and there we spotted it. Precious little space remains in the log but some ink was added.
Thanks BA for some more fun, and maybe it's time for another log sheet.

Geomum and I had difficulty finding the cache because we read the logs. Geodad found the cache because he didn't look at the logs
The log was full but I managed to write in a corner.

On my way to "We are the screaming Jets" with Amy the geodog, Muggle_Kings called me to ask my help in finding "Its really quite grassy!!", so I negotiated that she would meet me at the Jets and then ferry me to Grassy via this cache.As the rest of the geofamily had DNF'ed this one back in July, I was keen to find it.
Upon arrival, M_K, who'd already found this cache, sat back on a comfortable seat to watch the proceedings. No, not the transformer box as suggested by the coords. No, not the weird little plastic box perching strangely high up on the side of the metal pole. No, it's not tucked into the depths of this tussock plant. Ah hah!
I was aided by the fact that I've seen one of these caches before, although that one in the east was harder as the camo was weatherbeaten and looked much more as if it had been there forever. A very clever hide, thanks, BA - have an FP!

Was even able to leave a nice tradable for the next person! More log paper needed. How do I tell the maker? I'm new to this. TFTC.
In the vicinity today and headed for this cache. Took me around 5 or so minutes to locate this "prime" cache. Clever, simple hide. Signed the log and visited two trackables. TFTC Bells Angels.
Excellent cache! We a all but newbies and still <10 finds. Took as a bit and had to read some logs but got there!
Thanks for the effort.

Had bussed into the inner west on a FTF that was unfortunately aborted due to muggle activity. While disappointed, I decided to make the most of my trip and find a few other nearby caches. This one was the second find on my journey, on arrival at GZ I had my suspicions about where to look for the cache and my hunch was confirmed quickly. I do enjoy these clever types of hides and have seen a few around lately. SL TFTC Bells Angels!
You clever woman! Finally knocking this one off the to-do-list, after a long extensive search we stopped and started reading logs. I had an idea and voila! I can't believe we hadn't found it earlier! Thanks Bells Angels
Had a look for awhile and couldn't find this one, will have to come back another day for it.
Excellent hide. No swaps or drops here. Log is full and managed to sign on last available spot. Loved the graffiti on the wall on the way to the cache. SL TFTHBTFTC
Luckily we live near here because it took several visits over an afternoon to find it. Very excited when we did!
Reading previous comments led me to spot one thing but couldn't reach it - don't know if that was it.
I found this cache maybe two years ago and thought it was very clever. However when I went this week with some friends who had not yet found it I noticed that the cache is missing what made it so special in the first place. I'd recommend the owners go have a look and see if they can restore it to its former glory
My last days in Australia and I try to get my 800th find.
Nice type of hide. I saw this one more often in Australia than in germany. TFTC

Lol I can't believe it took me thirty mins to find this one - I saw it about ten times before I checked it - very sneaky !!!
Loved the art so beautiful... enjoyed wander around this area... Thanks Bells Angels.
It was very quiet at this location around the middle of the day - not a soul in sight, That made for an uninterrupted search. Accurate coordinates and having seen numerous hides of this type led to a quick find. The cache was in good condition. Thanks for the cache Bells Angels.
I continue to live up to my sobriquet. I have been here too many times for such an easy cache. I was blind but now I can see. Hallelujah. Log is full so have started on the reverse side. Might need replacing.
Did not take too long to find it had a quick look around and a rough idea of what I was looking for thanks for the cache it was night time so did not get to see much of the park
Took much longer than it should have due to muggle activity. Luckily I had the kids with me and the playground offered a great excuse to wander around and not look too suspicious. Finally the teens hanging out on the warm-up equipment vacated and I moved in to make a find!!
Sneaky!! Thanks!
Sneaky!! Thanks!
One of rare occasions on which I drove to work meant I could scout around in the afternoon for a few hides that were within my 10km radius from home. All of them were between 9 and 10 kms so have been left for quite a while.
Cache #1 of 4. I am a big fan of BA hides, he has a very diverse range and as far as I am aware no two are alike. When I got to GZ I leapt up to try to dislodge a piece of attached infrastructure - but it was attached quite firmly. The real hide was easier to dislodge but it seemed not to connect as well on the way back, and may need a little look at.

After a night out with Muggles, I decided to go find the cache in Marrickville. Just when I was about to turn to find a bus home, I saw this cache at a distance of 414m. I couldn't help myself and found my feet moving in its direction!
At gz, the council workers were cleaning the park. I had to wait a bit. I sat and read the logs while that happened. Then I started looking and an old lady with two lil dogs walked in to the park. Had to stall my search again.
This was my first Bells Angels find. So I didn't know what to expect. Looking at the nearby architecture, I expected it to be natural looking. So I put my hand in to the spiky area to turn some stuff around. Nothing was there.
Then I remembered all the different types of caches i have seen (on the internet too). When I looked up, I was like: Aah! There it is. Carefully I picked up the cache. Log was little damp, so carefully I put my name on it.
This is a cute little park. TFTC. FP awarded!

Marrickville Council has done a lot of landscaping maintenance here recently so it may have been disturbed
Found at 10:11am. Arrived at GZ and few muggles present which was nice. Given the limited amount of hiding spots I put the phone away and began. I had an instinct as soon as I started my search and sure enough I was on the right track
Lucky I had seen something similar before, I think I may have struggled if I hadn't. Anyway, this is a neat little park, thanks for the cache Bells Angels

Yay ;0) I tried this a few months back as a newbie cacher and couldn't find it with patsy249, almost 50 caches later and having done one similar a week ago I get the find :0) I actually remember pointing to it the first time round! Should have trusted my instincts! Didn't have pen with me but taken photo if owner needs evidence :0) TFTC
No muggles about today and found this faster than I probably should have given that I haven't seen one like this before. Coords were spot on! Very nice cache! Thanks
Very clever....found one of these way down south in a pretty little town in the Bermagui area...phew!!
Excellent one! It deserves a big smile!
Coordinates very accurate. Found a similar one recently on the Isle of Wight, so it helped.
I also like the prime number facts. Shame about the Pencil Cache, never got to see it..
Thank you Bells Angels!

I had been there once but the cache was damaged. A clever hide, quite easy when you have seen similar ones before. TFTC!
Luckily I saw it straight away. This is the sort of cache you will find straight away or spend ages searching for. Nice fresh log. Great idea! Cheers [:o)]
Wow that was a very clever one. Couldn't write on it, it was really wet, no muggles insight
Eevahnah helped out as well

Extremely clever and ingenious, this is going down as one of my favourite caches! Before we realised what it was (I went with james_black) I stopped and stared at it but didn't realise that that was what I was looking for! Was unable to sign it because the log is soaked. Still smiling about the cache
Aha! Ingenious! Almost got distracted looking in the wrong place until I thought...."I wonder if...." And there it was. Worth another favourite point.
30/05/13. 1:31 PM. Cache #649. Current streak: 263 days. After finding "Jack in the box" (another BA cache), I had time for one more, and this wasn't too far a walk away. As I got to GZ, I quickly spotted a type of hide that I've seen before, so added my scrawl and moved on. Thanks BAs. }:)
Very clever cache and a great one to reinvigorate me into caching. Haven't seen one like this before. Didn't have a pen on me so I'll come back and log it another time. TFTC!
I feel a bit funny about this DNF, but I didn't manage to sign the log despite trying numerous things at the GZ. I can tell this will likely be a favourite point, if I could just...
Waited around for 20 minutes until the pair of guys drinking beer out of brown paper bags decided to move along. But so worth it. This is my new favourite.
57th find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013. Found with sunahlo after watching the the Balmain Dockers go down to the Uni boys at Henson Park. Clever hide! TFTC Bells Angels.
These types of hides have been known to absorb your time but luckily I spotted it early and was away after a few minutes. Great hide, SL, TFTC
One last hunt before I get ready for my flight back to Canada. First I was looking for holes, then primer, then voila!

This took me about five visits to find it. The glue is coming off a little though so may need some repair. Thanks for a great find
Another night of geocaching. So easy to see yet we took ages to find it! Guess we didnĀ“t pay enough attention to the description of the cache!

On a night dedicated to caching around this area this cache fell under our radar. Found it accidentally as out of despair from all the searching i was fiddling around with it until i finally saw it. Great camo and great hide.

Zal was being mean. I have seen one like this before but it didnt click and I wondered why he was going on about holey prime number!
