Mother Knows Best 1 Fyshwick, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By Awesome Princess on 30-Jun-12. Waypoint GC3PK8T

I am another of the group who came and found this at the end of the epic cache and winery tour after the breakfast event on the 21 March (I am the slack one who is way behind with logging things - oops - sorry)
TFTC - probably a good thing I did the last leg of the journey with the different carload I jumped in with - one of the passengers was nice and tall ... not sure what would have looked worse though one or 2 girls trying to reach up to ... That ... Or one girl and about 3 blokes gathered around her while one fiddles with ... it - lol
what a pity that such a ... Tittilating ... cache has been archived ...

well finally all good things must come to an end.

Missed doing this with the geocaching winos yesterday, so thought I might grab it on a quiet Sunday morning. That didn't work. I looked far more suspicious being the only one in the street skulking around precarious places that smelt of urine.

TFTC Awesome Princess. Tough take and return.

What a great way to take in the scenery around the ACT & NSW, spend time with like minded people, find a variety of local caches and taste some of the regions signature wines. Fortified by the latter, a group approach was made and the cache was quickly fully exposed!

Our thanks to Awesome Princess for bringing us here.

I have been a little nervous going for this one on my own, but with safety in numbers a quick subtle grab TFTC

Grabbed this cache while on the winery tour with MTrax, Mr JD & the very friendly geo-schnauzers. Well this one was a bit naughty. Outside an "entertainment establishment" in a naughty place. Tftc & fun AP.

Joey Loves Treasure organised a few of us to go out on a tour of wineries and caches after a social breakfast in Kingston. I was in a car with JLT and ZQX, but plenty of other cachers joined the tour! Breakfast Club?

This was the ninth or tenth cache of day - lost count by now. My sometimes caching companion HypoHippo had done this cache already, so I knew what to expect, but it was still fun to see the retrieval and, even more, the replacement, of this cache! Nice hide for sure

Thanks awesome Princess - not suspicious at all - a group of 6 or 7 people lurking out the front of this establishment!

This afternoon, my grandad and I found most of the caches around Fyshwick. After a short drive from a previous cache, we parked near this one. Luckily no one was around - but it turned out that there was a muggle sitting in the bus stop while we were searching. [8)] An interesting location and hide for a cache...

Thanks.

Took a while but got it

Grate hide, lucky almost got spotted by a few people but didn't thank god

Found with mad dog bb

Hehehe found with MVU. Tftc

Yes ridiculous! Thank heavens it's Christmas Day and ridiculous antics to retrieve this were witnessed probably only by those who won't tell. Difficult to return to hiding place.

Found @ 1:58pm on a meandering drive from Manuka to mum & dad's after online scoring the T20 cricket where the Meteors (ACT) lost to the Fire (QLD) on the last ball

Fortunately I had a tool in the car with which to reach this one, thanks Awesome Princess

My second attempt at this cache. Yes, I see it (hence a note, not a DNF) and I came armed with my extender magnetic doo-hickey. Magnet vs magnet. Mine lost. I'm giving it a favourite anyway, which must seem odd for a cahe I haven't officially found.

Found it but too short to sign the log

Accompanied with Dragon1982... Hide well... Thank

Dropping off a hire trailer across the road, and wondered if there would be any caches in the area.
I uncovered one and soon had it in hand. Tftc

Best hiding spot I have ever found

Gross positioning

Couldn't reach it but still found it

Found it! Interesting place to hide it though TFTC

Great day out for caching with Everlasting & skyejam - enjoyed this area. Thanks for bringing us here ★★★

OMG... Glad I have a good tool to retrieved the bison tube. and signed the log. Thanks Awesome Princess...

Found the cache with sevabo & Everlasting. TFTH.

I will have to trust mother as I have never been to such places before. My arms proved just short of the task but some body movements helped bridge the gap.

Interesting hide i have to say.
Good thing the cameras are pointing the other way.
Many thanks for the hide

TFTC

Found it. Nice location, classy spot. TFTC

Quick easy find in this nipply weather... Lucky I had my muggle friend's 15yr old brother to assist with getting the CIH! He's now had his first visit to Fyshwick...!

Had a giggle watching Genghicat trying to put his hands on this one. Fantastic location & hide.

Have no problem where it is & Im sure kids would not have any idea that this is at a strip club. All i can say for those who dont like the location: Dont get out the car....or keep walking.

Fave for me

Think this one deserves a favourite point - despite some objections to the cache being in a "questionable location", there is nothing really forcing people to stop and look for the cache. It's fairly obvious before you get out of the car what the nature of the local business is going to be.

As for the cache, I will raise my hand to being a little self conscious and was almost going to try returning on the weekend when it was quieter, but spotted the cache and decided to get it. But how to get it....? Fortunately I had the "stick of geocaching" with me and was able to use the trusty tool to assist in retrieving the tricky hide.

Quickly signed log and returned the cache back to Mother's protection, all the while hoping I wasn't looking like a total boob. Thanks for the cache Awesome Princess.

Tftc!

Took a few looks here and there , but finally got it.
Great hide and enjoyed the theme.
Many thanks for the cache.

A perfectly fine spot. If you don't like it, just keep walking. Nice hide.

Nice hide. TFTC

Easy find in a naughty spot

Naughty

Got a few looks as I was searching for cache with my 7 year old geoson. Quick grab. TFTC

An interesting hide can see the amusement that it causes. TFTC. Found with ScruffyBlake, Charli_Bear & Me_to

LOL! had to boost Me_to up to get it. Figured a little practice couldnt hurt him. Lol.

Found with the family. The S's Me_to and Charlie_bear TYFC

TFTC awkward place

An awkward hiding spot but thanks for the cache.

Tftc

found with queanbeyan geek on a no work on day

With the cooler weather, The GeoSchnauzers and I have been going caching much more often. I'd planned a caching run for this arvo, and was looking forward to it. Then me mate Knighteck rings me up - his wife has hurt herself, and can't drive. She's at work, with the car, at Fyshwick. Knightech, having had a rotten day, now need a lift out to Fyshwick to retrieve Mrs Knightech and the car. Clearly, he needs to go geocaching to improve his day. So, I pulled out a quick Pocket Query for Fyshwick, sent it to Knightech, loaded it into my trusty eTrex, packed me and the dogs, and picked up Knightech. From there, the day improved. We picked up the car, and Knightech then found that Mrs Knightech would be able to get a lift home, so we're free for the rest of the evening. Right, first of five!!! This was an easy grab, and definitely an, er ..., interesting business. TFTC.

Quick cache with mister JD after a hard days work - No1 - tftc

Not quite what I was expecting to find when I plugged the coordinates into my GPS, but that's what caching is all about! The satellites were putting me about 8m inside the building, and I was thinking that can't be right surely. I casually leaned against the wall next door to ponder my options, and then I spotted it! Nice one. Even better, I now get to red some of the amusing previous logs for the cache!

TNLN - Thanks Awesome Princess!

Find 14 of 18 for the day and #1615 in total.

So much you can say about this one but why spoil it.
Gets a favourite point from us even if it is only for the laughs we got from it.

Echo 8 - Spice 6
("\(0o0)/") Thanks for the caching fun!

{Sent from a mobile mind, not just a mobile device.} °°° +

We saw some of the local 'talent' when we went to grab this one. Yep, nice one for the boys

Quick grab on a lovely afternoon caching. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

Tftc.. nice one lol for men

Tftc

TFTC, nice one!

17km on a mountain bike in the scorching 35+ degree heat. Finding this cache was all that made the lunch time ride bearable. Owner of establishment came out to say hello - didn't seem to get the idea of caching as he thought we would take the cache with us.

Got a leg up from Gumby Maca because neither of us could just reach up and grab it. Glad it was a quiet day around town because I felt soooo wrong.

We read the recent logs for this one, which helped us considering the heavy cloud cover today. Binni* was a little reluctant until I beckoned - I found it - just a little beyond my reach. Then came an interesting conversation, as I was crouched, giving her a boost. Suffice to say, simply yanking it wasn't on the cards, but instead an appropriate twist and we had the cache in hand. Awesome hide Princess - absolutely loved it

#1252 - 17:30; I had attempted this one once before, but the vertical challenge proved too much on that occasion. Afternoon rain put a stop to my planned walk along the Centenary Trail to burn off the Christmas lunch calories, but provided an opportunity to slip out for this one with nobody around. Loaded the trusty milk crate into the car and it was off to GZ. No need for a GPSr today as I knew what I was looking for and exactly where it was. The grab signing and return was achieved in under a minute. Seems people either love it or hate it for the location. I'm in the former camp and was amused! Some people just don't see the funny side of things I guess. I did chuckle about the recent entry complaining about the location, but despite the bleeding obvious, felt the need to proceed to make the find and log it regardless TFTC Awesome Princess

I am posting this Needs Archiving note, so that a reviewer is aware of the location of this cache. The cache is in perfect order. However I believe it's placement is poor and it should be removed.

I feel that this cache is innapropriate due to it's location and am upset that the description does not make clear that the hide is at a strip club. Furthermore I am upset that the attributes do not state it is not suitable for children.

Also the actual placement of the cache (it's physical location) is quite adult and tasteless - please contact me for more information if required, I do not like to post spoilers.

I realise each cacher has the right to choose what caches they do and that I did not HAVE to do this cache, but without proper information how can I make and informed choice.

Found it, but not very happy. A description of where this cache is would have been nice, a strip club is not my idea of a suitable place, had there been some indication I would have chosen not to do this cache and most especially not had my sons with me.

Nice hide tftc.

Quick stop and grab! TFTC

Found with Wasptor and Fraggle, TFTC!

Day 300; cache 300. hmm spotted it straight away but it just didn't sit right with us. especially with the camera out the front. Anyway we were both excited that we have made it to day 300, with three kids we really didn't give our selves much confidence to pull it off, but here we are with only 65 days left!!! Woot. TFTC!

2013: 300 Days In A Row - I've found a few caches in dodgy locations before, but I wasn't a fan of this one... Had the three kids along, and we made the find quickly. TFTC

Found it. Not sure what the owners of the premise think about the additional interest in the cache location - there's a CCTV camera pointed right at it!

TFTC

The Booos grabbed this one after dark made for a very quick find awesome cache thanks

The Booo's are visiting Canberra for a weekend away and to grab a few cache.

After finding another nearby cache and making many jokes about it's name, and the location this one just put the icing on the proverbial cake. A nice quick find once geo-wife pointed out where to look.

Oh dear, what a location! Spotted the cache after reading previous logs, and noted the one about something sharp near the cache location. There was no way I could reach the cache (and I'm fairly tall!). So took my magnetic extension tool out of the bag, and grabbed the cache that way. I knew it would come in handy some time. Final find for this trip. Thanks to everyone for hiding so many caches in Canberra! I'm sure I'll be back from Melbourne in the near future. TFTC

Normally I like a plausible excuse to be near a GZ, here at a busy time of day so contented myself with a photo and will need to search properly another time.

Geocache #720.
Found on Wednesday, 11th September 2013 at 3:46 PM.
Conditions: sunny.
Current streak #42 days.
Today's finds 16 of 29.

My 619th find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013. With just over a week of the competition remaining, I had some leave owing and decided to take it for a geo-adventure in the Australian Capital Territory and Canberra. What a way to celebrate Canberra's centenary, as well as the Federal election!

On day four of my trip, and after completing a number of caches in the CBD earlier in the day, goughy2012 and I continued our hunt into the afternoon. Once at GZ, it was a quick find and we soon had the CIH and signed the log. Favourite point awarded for the provocative hide, TFTC Awesome Princess!

"JordsAU

This cache is amazing. not much more to be said neither "JordsAU nor my self could believe where the cache was hidden. Easy grab yet harder replace.

Awesome Princess this is one for the Best of book simply awesome loved it very much very deserving of the Favourite points wish i was Premium member now to give the point. Please finish the series so we can return from sydney to do more.

tftc, lovely walk through this area despite all of the traffic would make for a much better night cache run.

Found at 1045 - I've had this one on the list for a while, and have been randomly checking the logs to stay abreast of how it's faring. I was in the area for work this morning, and decided to mix business with pleasure and take care of today's cache for the August challenge.

From previous logs I had an inkling of what to expect, though it still wasn't quite what I'd imagined. I employed the 'taking a photo' ruse until the cache was spotted then briefly pondered my next move, cursing my shortcomings all the while. I could probably retrieve it ok, but if I couldn't get it up again I'd feel like a total boob!

A quick burst of effort had the cache in hand - and unfortunately a small fragment of hand left where the cache had been - there's something seriously sharp there! The next few minutes were spent alternately unrolling and signing the log, and sucking down pints of claret trying to keep the paper untainted.

Returning the cache took twice the effort of the retrieve - the first attempt left it a little too exposed for public decency so it needed a bit of a tweak. Once satisfied with the positioning, I attended to the wound - given the location of the cache, I thought a 'sterile strip' was quite an appropriate dressing!

All in all it was quite a titillating way to spend the morning - thanks for the cache Awesome Princess, it was certainly a mammorable one!

One of my first caches! Found this ages ago but haven't logged it in yet!

Very interesting cache. Friends taking me around to see the sights of Canberra via caches. This is where they took me first. TFTC

Definitely a cache for two. Dusk is a good time to do it, too. Relatively quiet. TFTC.

Man that was hard. Ute dog II was no help at all. Thanks Acko

Log paper is replaced

Haha! I knew where this was as soon as we pulled up! Nice one! Geo hubby was looking in the bus stop LOL.

The log is completely full and desperately needs replacing.

Quick find on a quiet Sunday. Lots of muggle traffic though. Log is full and needs replacing =]

mrs crump didnt want to have anything to do with the retreival of this one so it was left up to mr crump. interesting place. tftc

I could tell it was a cold day... TFTC!

A relaxed Sunday afternoon caching wander with BatgirlandCo and geohound.

Well, this was...different. Have to admit that I had a chuckle at the placement. Definitely not sublime.

Thought this might be a quick park'n'grab...but then realised one shouldn't grab such things. Oh well - maybe in this location people want to more often than not but probably still aren't supposed to. So.....I made Doppelfrog go and get it.

Yep I found it, but I'm about 30cm to short to reach! Yes, I could have knocked it down, but I wouldn't have got it up again. When I visit again it will be early on a Sunday morning again.

Easy find. I drive past here a lot and never noticed this location before. TFTC.

Great hide.

Out with Black Bunny to grab a few caches and make the most of a pleasant Saturday morning.

A quick park and grab here today.

Thanks for the cache Awsome Princess

Out for a morning cache run with Just a cacher to pickup a few caches.

A quick grab here (thankfully) on a quiet Saturday (thankfully) morning.

Thanks for the cache Awesome Princess.

Not the best of locations. It was difficult to explain to my gf the location as she arrived back from bag shopping.
Nevertheless thanks for the +1
Tftc

A great day to be out caching, and especially with Secret Squirrel who teamed up for the day.

We spotted the cache straight away, then it was a case of "you go", then "no I'll watch you get it". Being the taller, I gave in and had the cache in hand quickly. Returning it was just as much fun.

A wonderful Autumn geocaching day with colour and sunshine
thanks for the company Captain Tomato

yes I am a nipples fan too

Not quite sure if the location of this cache is really as family- and child friendly as Geocaching is supposed to be.

This was an... INTERESTING hide. While we were looking in the bush shelter, Hagar was looking elsewhere... a strange cache to bring the geokids along to... TFTC

Ouch!!!!!!
