Best for everyone if I archive this one

Residents have moved into the house, think this now needs a new home.

Found it

GeoDan had this before GeoDad got anywhere near! Tftc

Found It!
Quick find today. I really don't know how I missed that last time...
That house wasn't there last time I was here either...
TFTC

Quick find in between the occasional cars passing by. TFTC.

Thought it might be gone due to building but it is definitely there, good hide too

Couldn't find this one.

Quick find as muggle neighbour went inside from mowing lawns

Found on a lovely autumn morning out caching in MB. It was all happening on this street, painters, roofers, builders all at work. The lot behind this cache is now being developed - I hope the cache's hiding place is safe... TFTC.

An easy find and a good hiding place. TFTC

Good to go, new cache container & new log book.

Easy find. Needs more paper!

More paper required, a notepad etc

New log required.

Found it a while ago with friends only marking today as i now have my own account!! Otherwise it was a gd one when I did it!!

....

I don't know why people would want to live in lego-land houses this far from major centres? A real shame seeing the farm / country areas being destroyed for housing. Found quickly and easily and the challenge was to get past the thick spider webs to retrieve the container. Number 8 of 11 for the day. TNLN. Cheers.

Mr Tardis and Toddler Tardis were on a quick caching run around Mt Barker while Mrs Tardis was at the shops. This was our first stop. We waited in the car while we waited for the local muggle kids to ride down the street, then it was a quick find for us. I'm sure this area will be full of houses in no time.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache clare007.

Find No. 259. Found with FUF009 at 8.02pm (SA time)
On our holidays to follow the Tour Down Under in South Australia, we decided to hit a few caches in our spare time. As we were staying in Mt.Barker for the week we were able to do quite a few in the area.
This was our last cache find for our holidays in Mt.Barker for this year - but we will be back again next year. A good hide with a quick pick up.

Out for a day caching with Farmer--brown
Nice driveby

Another quick easy drive by, tnln Tftc.

I remember driving up this road, caching of course, several years ago. There were open paddocks on each side of the road. They call this progress? And it will be the people that move in here that will be jumping on the band wagon to try to stop further urbanisation of this area of the hills which we all pay for ultimately. This land was good for market gardens and dairy production. Now the farmers are working land further out which is poorer quality and has lower rainfall ( read: cost of production increasing) and this also involves increased transport costs (increasing the price we pay at the checkout and greenhouse gas production.) Another way we will pay is all the additional runoff from the paved areas/reduced absorption of rainfall in the soil leading to increased flooding down stream. Enough of the lecture.

I give this cache 12 months, after the houses are built here it wont be in a tenable position. There was a kitten (baby rabbit) huddled against the tree trying to be invisible, it didn't work, I saw it, gave it a pat on the head and wished it good luck. (It was too small for a meal.)

Thanks for the cache clare007.

Good to see that all this food producing land is being converted to bricks and mortar.

Went looking last night bit hard in the dark. Relatively easy find in the daylight!

Tried last night but didn't find. Went back today with slippers and found it.

Third time lucky. Each time I have tried for this one previously I have been thwarted by muggles! Today no muggles! Found quickly. Interesting new housing development. TFTC

Finally found it on a beauty of a day. Thank you.

Found on a short caching afternoon in Mount Barker.

Boyz found very quickly, took nothing, left yellow bike:)

Quick easy find. Took penguin eraser left ring. Tftc

After looking for this awhile ago, 2 of my young geochildren went on their own and found within 30 seconds!!
They are hooked !!!!

This almost had us scratching our heads, but it's amazing how the container hides so well behind some things!
Nice to have found this one before the construction gets any closer (we remember when this was all open paddocks).
TNLNSL. Our last for the day.
Thanks Clare007.

Found while working in the area. Luckily had a truck to use for cover. Well hidden. thx clare007 for the hide.

Ducked out on my lunch break to do some quick caching. Found this one quickly enough. Then took a "short cut" and bogged the ute. I was an hour late back from my break! TFTC

Seemed like it should have been an easy find but no luck, even after returning with kids.

A quick find while in the area. TFTC.

Unless a digging implement was required, I would have to agree with the previous persons post as there did not seem to be anything there.

A nice quick stop while passing through the area this afternoon.
Cheers & TFTH.

I think it is gone unless I was barking up the wrong tree. Thanks for the hunt.

A quick grab. TFTC

Impromptu caching /

Found on a day out caching with Witch of the South. For some reason we signed everything for the 5th, not the 4th. Nice quick find and sign.

Thanks for the hide,
clare007.

Kids loved riding to playground via cache (we live close) tftc

Neat hide, just passing, stopped for a smilie.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Nice little hide. Easy find. TFTC!

Found with brisal5

Found during a quick stop to 'inspect' the nearby land sales. Thanks for the cache clare007!

This won't remain an easy driveby for much longer. It will be very near housing and stealth will be required. TFTC clare007.

Another quick find on the Mount tour. This area is developing fast. Good coords.

I thought West Parkway was in the Colonel's suburb.

Thanks to clare007 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Glad I found it now as once a house goes up on the block right next to GZ, it could make for an interesting search. TFTC clare007

A quick find on a mornings caching trip with mogni!! Thanks clare007 for the hide!

Found while out doing some local caches with CPwanderer.
Thanks

Found with StClair clan and shelley bobbob !! TFTC !

Yay!! TFTF!!!

A nice quick find after visiting a friend in the nearby housing estate.
The difficulty on this one will surely go up in the not too distant future! The development speed is incredible!
Took $1000 note and TB, left purple butterfly.
TFTC!

this will be an interesting area once all the land plots are sold & built on eh? TFTC TN L-TB

New developments everywhere! Plenty of new caching opportunities

Cheers clare007.

TFTC! Early morning drive by with pyjama wearing kids

Woohoo, ftf. This place has certainly changed since I used to wander along the dirt road with my grandma, chatting with the local sheep.
