Cachea Gardens 3 Acacia Gardens, New South Wales, Australia

We came to this to see what was causing the concern, as we are new to this. Now I understand. Clever, though. As others found, not on the GZ point we had showing.

Edit: Oh, it appears that it was archived some time between loading details up yesterday and getting back after outing today - I logged the find while we were out and about. I guess that's an oops. I hadn't realised the updated/archived status while we were out today.

TFTC SL. Sneaky hide

Didn't realise the Sword of Damocles was hanging over this one. Close to a playground which doesn't win certain fans. I found it a bit off the coords but going by the previous log I had an idea where it might be. I had a slightly different idea having found a couple similar in Townsville recently although there the whole structure had been placed by the CO. I don't know, it's not harming anything that I can see but that's in the hands of the powers-that-be.

Thanks!

Clever hide. TFTC

As per the guidelines, a cache should not vandalise man made objects nor be buried underground...Now whilst there are varying types of hides that push the boundaries of these notions, this one blatantly ignores those concepts...which is why I'm placing the NA log. I'm not sure why other cachers seeing that there was a problem haven't placed one here before this. I won't list the hiding the method here in case the reviewer decides it's ok, but they can contact me if they wish to find out more.

.836 got me close enough to notice what's out if place. Certainly the hardest of them so far, however still straight forward when you get there TFTC!

Reperio at 2135.

After attending the NSW Geocaching 101 event in Carlingford, FarmerFrentzen and I decided to make the most of the day by finding a few caches. This was the last cache for the night, and once we were at GZ, we hunted around in various different places before widening our search to look at other options. It was only after reading the logs and reading that the hide was potentially against the guidelines did we think to look in one particular spot 5-6m away from GZ, and sure enough, we found the cache, as well as the reason that it was causing concerns for some. No doubt about it, this goes against the guidelines for two main reason. Needs to be archived.

Found with Marcus Vitruvius during a quick run following the Geocaching NSW 101 event.

Found this one a little further west than where we made GZ after a reasonable search in all other places.

As others have noted previously, I too have some concerns over whether this one is in line with the guidelines on two fronts......

Anyway thanks Blundo Busters for the find.

I wasn't sure where this was..... So we stood back about ten meters and then it was obvious. Loved this one. TFTC

1130, GAFF3, Geoson and I were not going to let this one beat us after 2 DNFs nearby.

We were wet and heading back to the Geomobile when something caught our eye.

A sneaky hide SL, cache in good condition.

Found with Browngang on a trip to Sydney for footy and caching. The GPS was a bit all over the place here which made made life a bit difficult. After a long search we finally located the cache in a very tricky location, loved the hide especially since we found it. Thanks Blundo Busters.

I swear I touched this hiding equipment before Blackie_71 had another look and came up with the cache.
Nice one. Found about 7m out of my GZ
Cheers from Browngang

Talk about being frustrated! Hawkeye747 and I spent a long time here, we prodded and poked and finally gave up. We were not happy when we left.

After DNFing the CO's latest in this series we came up here to get some experience in their hides. We spread out a little from the where the XL had GZ and soon saw something that perhaps might need a little more exploring. We gave the camo a bit of a tug and we soon exposed the cache. We completed the signing duties and replaced. Now off to Cachea Gardens 2 for more practice and then back to Cachea Gardens 4. TFTC

Our first and the most difficult of these 3 of the same name today. This proved to be a bit taxing until bikerbuddy came up with the goods. As Raggs has said, not sure on the legality of this one, but clever nonetheless. Thanks

Mum and dad found this one!

Garks and I gave the play equipment a work out while mum and dad looked, but dad won out in the end!

We searched at least 30 min for this one and came up empty. TFTH

NickoHeap and Garks were happy to muck about on the play equipment nearby and there was no one else about, so we were willing to give this a bit more time than usual (usually a few minutes, tops) We searched all the usual places and objects we would normally search until I found that the GPS seemed to be settling down and favouring one place over others. That's when I noticed something suspicious. Something that stood out to me. When I checked my suspicions proved true. A little sneaky, but if I got it, it can't be too hard. Thanks

Thanks Blundo Busters for another clever hide. Nice and quick on this occasion. TFTC.

I needed a find today to make up for still not finding the other Blundo Busters hide near here. Geokids and I made our way to GZ just on dusk and started searching where arrow was pointing. the accuracy was not so good today so away went the GPS and we started searching the likely objects.
Geodaughter noticed something and Geoson took a look and almost missed it.
Very sneaky, a great hide and glad we found it reasonably quickly.

Clever hide. Came with ruffasgutts4x4. TFTC

Sneaky hide this one and bordering on guideline breach but still good for my money Thanks for bringing us here

DNF

A DNF for me today.

Tks ... Blundo Busters ... GazMag

lucky last for the day, nice easy one to finish, kids also loved the park nearby tftc

Back to have another go at this one ... this time confident on were I would find the cache
It was in fact a quick find
Not sure about this one but well hidden
TFTC SL

After waiting for a muggle mum and three kids to move on, pretty sure I had quickly confirmed a bold GZ. However, needed to remove a thick layer of wet mud to actually reveal the cache itself.

Searched everywhere but couldn't find this one! Will be back.

Found with happypaintball. Loved this one so much it gets a favourite point. SL TFTC. Used the revised coords from the logs

Nice just found it with ThaFlava very sneaky!!!

thanks found with Booosdad and Booo Booo

After reading some logs and thinking about it. Eventual found this sneaky little bugger

TFTC .

Did this cache with no muggles about and with a better idea where to look with better Co-ordinates, Found it straight away. Sneaky Hide. Thanks BB for the cache.

Tricky find

Thanks For The Cache
nice quick find for the day thanks

Definitely the hardest of the three today. Luckily the past logs gave me revised co-ords which certainly helped. A great hide. I was a bit wooried that the neighbours might be watching but went for it and found the little bugger.

Great hiding spot BB! Very satisfying to find. I too found it closer to .836. tftc

Picked up a hint last week and sure enough I found it closer to E150 54.836. Very sneaky and could be difficult with muggles in the park, thanks.

OK, OK we pafed this one. Perhaps we should have asked a German, or a Hungarian, or a Russian, or a ....

We found it a little west of where our GPSr wanted us. Thanks BB.

This one sure is tricky!

There is no need to trample the gardens to get this one.

TFTC.

After finding the other 2 successfully, I thought I'd try for 3/3. I parked, and wondered through the bushy part to GZ. Once there, read the desciption and started searching. Saw the caching trails and paths being made but couldn't locate the cache. Then I expanded my search and came across something intersting. Hmmm...should I check? OK! It was dark so no one could see me anyway. I checked and found the very clever camo and cache. Nice one BB. I SL and replaced. Definately not one to find with muggles about as PPE said. Not sure how long this will last, but clever nontheless. TFTC.

No luck here today, now reading some of the logs may have a better idea where to look, until next time.

A quick look here before we had to head off to pick Daughter #1 up, area sure is being trampled.

Cheers

Only had ten minutes to find this cache as I had to get home so that Geowife could go out tonight. Anyway I looked at the likely places for a hide and came away empty. I'll be back soon.
Cheers

Hmm, back for the third time and even with some further knowledge I had difficulty with this cache. Interesting idea, however I have contacted the CO with some concerns. Please don't try this when the neighbours can see you or there are peopl in the park, you might end up in some difficulty!
Cache was very muddy, but I manged to SL.

Ok so I pulled up at the gardens and it looked all normal untill I got down to what I thought was GZ! I could see the typical cachers tred around the big tree. but I had a feeling it was not around there.
My intial feeling of where it could be had me exploring aound what I later had confirmed with a fellow caher on line told me that I was in the right spot.So the serch began. I dismissed something that I had a good look at and went on to the next then the next and so on. I then got a call and we discusssed my thoughts. It was then we decided that I had looked at it but not found it so after a re serch I then spotted it. I am not sure relly if would have with out the extra go but I did.
SL and Rntd safe.TFTC

No luck here tonight even with a bit of direction from a friend.
Hmm - I'll be back.

Yay FTF with Team Sunderland....we found GZ almost 7 meters out & terrain would match for muggles not the cache....still a very sneaky hide....T4TC

Had a quick look for this one. GPS would not settle, lots of places to look for this one, I might leave it for PPE to find as he has just got 2 Second to finds after us today.
