The Pineappleishere Bella Vista, New South Wales, Australia
By steveishere, adopted by Mr MR on 23-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3R2VX

After much consideration, I have decided to archive this one. It has been problematic ever since the original GZ was destroyed in a storm, significantly compromising its comic impact and context which was its essence. In addition, even though it is still easy to access the cemetery, the gate is now locked which suggests that entering the precinct is no longer sanctioned by the powers that be.

I may lament my decision as I drive past every day, but I think it is for the best.

After 113 consecutive days of not finding a cache we decided to find a few today.

This was the first cache that we tried to find today and we weren't off to a good start. We noticed in the logs that the geocacher before us had not found it, but we thought that we would give it a try.

After a while we decided to give up. All we could find was a wasps nest.
We will come back later to find this cache.

TFTC.

Hmm, it after a couple of DNFs and negative comments by the most recent finders I think I should disable it until I can investigate what the situation is. Hopefully, I can get it back up again in one form or another.

After completing 'Possum Magic' I decided to attempt this cache. I had worked out where to park made the walk to GZ. Given it was the middle of the day, there was not much traffic so crossing the road wasn't a problem. I made my way through the fence and followed the GPS until it count down to zero. I looked in several places but nothing came up. I decided to PAF but I didn't realise that they found it in a previous incarnation. I decided to check anyway but nothing appeared. From the state of the cache noted in past logs, this cache might need a CO check.

Located the cache that is getting the worse for wear.

This was interesting. I found this cache in clear slight just off the pathway. I went to sign the log then realised that the previous finder didn't match to the cache page. In doing, I realised that this was in fact the OLD cache. The log was slightly damp but I still could sign it then retuned that cache to where in believe in was due to evidence of 'cache holding material' at the location.
Well I still have the NEW cache to find now. Looking in the previous finder log, I needed to search near a different tree and again, I found the new cache in clear slight to on the ground. Sadly, something or someone thinks that this is real and has started eating the cache away. Again, the log was ok so I signed that.
Anyways, interesting little spot here, driven past a few times, never knew this was here

14/08/15. 11:45 AM. Cache #2828. Streak day #418.
4th of 6 today - picking up some of the new caches from this week and a few extras.

After my DNF of this in June, Mr MR confirmed that it had been muggled and gave me a a bit more info about where I'd been wrong in my search. Ohhh, haha I get it....

Today, I had just found a new cache not too far away ("Which Way?") and as I headed back to my car from that one, I saw that this had been re-enabled, so decided it was next. I parked closer this time, at the top of Warooga Ave, so just a quick cross of road to GZ.

After navigating fence and bushes, I went around to where I now knew it should be. I spotted it from one side and circled around to retrieve it. Glad to redeem this DNF, I signed and replaced it. Back to the car, brushing all manner of wattle pollen and other plant matter off my sleeves. Now off to Castle Hill for another new one, "Hoof Hearted". TFTC.
} : )

Cache enabled.

Cache replaced. Thanks to YGAT for sourcing the container. To counter the muggle issue, it's hidden a little better than before.

We stopped on the way home to check the cache. Sadly, it's missing, probably muggled as, remarkably, there are signs of partying in the area. I had a look about in the dark but there was no sign of it. I was interested to see that the gate is now padlocked but access is still easy through the fence.

I will disable the listing until we decide whether or not to replace it. YGAT will be looking into it while I am away for a short time.

So, stay tuned.

23/06/15. 1:05 PM.
Came here after finding "The Rabbit Burrow" and found parking reasonably easy at Plymouth Cres to the southeast. Reasonably safe ways to cross Old Windsor Road here, even though the drivers seemed to ignore the zebra crossings at the corners.

I spent over half an hour at GZ with no luck, climbing back and forth over fences and looking on all sides of the flax plants, with the various members of the Pearce families looking on in ghostly amusement. Emailed the CO, but had to leave to pick up Yelyac. I shall be back.

My 3rd DNF for the day...

found it and first to sign the new log. but it not in the position it was when dad and cousin found it. they found it hanging on bush back when they found it.

The cache is back in place waiting to be found. Cheers.

Cache removed for maintenance. It should be back in about a week.

Thanks SeEpAyNe for reporting the issue with the log. I will disable the listing and rectify the situation as soon as I can.

Good hide but unsuccessful removing log... She's stuck!!!

Hey! I think the log needs to be replaced! It's a tad soggy and stuck in the camo

Looked high and low dnf. Trees are down to the left of the main headstones. Will watch this.

I had need to make an early start Sunday morning and my journey took me right past this cache. I was able to stop safely nearby and search for this cache. GPSr indicated a particular GZ which at first I didn't believe (the heat had addled my brain perhaps?), I persisted in searching far more difficult places for a couple of minutes before reading recent logs and returning to where the GPS said it should be. After that it was a quick find. SL Thanks for adopting this one Mr MR!

Have been looking at this for awhile as its in an awkward place to get to. Fortunately, my work bus goes past this everyday, but do I really want to stop after a long day at work? Of course answer is yes and made it today. All is good with cache and can't believe I have no pen in my bag!!!!!! Took photo of log as proof incase makeup pencil smudges. Unable to read do
E of the inscriptions but enjoyed looking around while peak hour buzzing in all directions. TFTC

Distance from original: 65.4 feet or 19.9 meters.
Yesterday, I received an email from jmaxadventures kindly informing me that GZ had been damaged in the recent wind storms. I visited with YGAT today and found the cache still in place but felt that it would be in jeopardy should whoever is responsible for the cemetery decide to take remedial action. We therefore decided to relocate it and were struggling to find a suitable spot until YGAT found the perfect place for it.

The cache is now slightly more difficult to get to but I don’t think it warrants an adjustment to the terrain rating.

Will try again, was too hot today to look for long!

Now I have a pineapple waiting to be eaten at home. Much sweeter than this.
The log was difficult to extract.
Thanks for the cache.

Nice camo tftc

A quick find in an interesting spot that I didn't know was there. A very clever container.

Nice container. TFTC

Cache back online. Enjoy

New log inserted. The one I brought was slightly the wrong size but I adapted it to fit and it should be OK for now.

The Pineappleishere was transferred from steveishere to user Mr MR.

When we found this cache in May last year we were impressed and awarded it favourite points. So when it came up for adoption I had to make an offer to ensure it didn’t disappear off the geocaching map.

I will shortly install a new log sheet and re-enable the listing.

Thanks steveishere for transferring the cache.

accompanied with Everlasting, clever hide, thanks for bringing us here ★★★

Interesting about the history, I am sure I have been there long time ago... anyway the log sheet is full as cant sign the log but took some photos. With Sevabo. Thanks Steveishere. ☆★☆★☆

This cache is up for adoption.
Please contact me if you want it.

I've been here before. In fact I recall finding a cache and a wallet with cards scattered everywhere. I signed the log, took the wallet to the cops and that was that. This time around, the cache was harder to find. I thought I found the right spot. Alas, I wasn't reading between the lines. With a little help from a friend on Google Chat, I found the cache. Log is VERY VERY FULL. I found a spot.

A quick and easy find, left my pen here, oh well, did find it at another cache a few weeks ago, so must be a communal pen now.

Log IS full. Manager to find a spot to write TW. But really needs a new log asap.

Log is completely full, needs replaced thanks.

As others have said, eventually the name made perfect sense . Log is full.
TFTC.

Studied google maps carefully for best and safest parking before attempting access to this little hideaway cemetery. Carefully crossed between breaks in the traffic and quickly spotted what I thought may have been the influence on the name with a likely hidey hole nearby. As the arrow settled however, the name actually made more sense once camo spotted.

Very clever!

Great cammo definitely a fav log signed and is full needs replaceing

very pineappley hide
tftc

Very funny - I had a nuce little chuckle.

I also really liked the history of the cemetery having just come here after finding nearby Pearce Trig (TP5875 - visit geocaching.com.au for details).

Thanks steveishere. The cache is in good shape but the log is getting full (I didn't have a replacement in me). Found at 1:25 pm.

Interesting history. Thanks.

Finally! How brilliant is this one. Bribed the Geokiddies to find this one and it worked. Thanks for bringing us here again.

Looking around for a bit when geohubby pointed at something. Walah!! Got it!!! TFTC!!

#7 This took a while but fruitful in the end

Hunted around for a bit and then the cry of "got it" rang out from karbonator. very clever hide in a lovely old cemetery.

Out for an early morning ride with quarksta. Loved the cache container almost looked good enough to eat! TFTC!

Out for a morning ride along the M7 with Elad82 and thought we'd stop off and get this cache. I can't believe I've never noticed this cemetery here before. Love the cache design, although in this environment it was easier to find than it would be in some others I can think of TFTC!

Finally I get to tick this one off my list, fairly quick find this time with Nightfairy85, can't believe I missed it previously. TFTC

Rode up to this one with Geoson to keep my Sydney in 50 streak going. Didn't even need the GPS for this one. Walked straight to the likely spot and found it immediately. Even Geoson who can't find his socks in a drawer spotted this one in record time.
Very clever! I like the way you think Steveishere!

Oh I get it now. Lol. Come past here all the time and never noticed the small cemetery. Respect to the Pearce family. TFTC.

Had a frustrating search and even after reading logs didn't find it. Hint didn't help today and past logs made me want to find it more. Mmmm - we'll be back.

I remember the previous cache at this spot, and while doing some caching after today's event this was the last spot I visited before the trip home. Parked over the road, and made a fairly easy crossing. First thing I spotted was the munzee so I scanned that, not that I think it is where it is supposed to be as it is just wedged into a crack on the fence and a bit crumpled. A bit of a search and soon spotted the unusual pineapple. Then it all made sense. Thanks steveishere.

Absolutely loved this one! Even laughed out loud when I spotted it and then it all made sense. Very clever & creative with a first-of-its-kind cache container for us. Have driven by often and didn't even know this place existed. That's one of the great things about Geocaching - exploring new & interesting places. SL / TFTC

Found a cache here when we were novices and just had to return. At first misinterpreted the clue but by putting our faith in the GPS we soon found true meaning!

Look around at all the places it could hinding but no luck

No find for me, and also lost 5 bucks somewhere so next cacher might have a bonus lol

We drive past this graveyard most week-days on the way home from work. We have been aware of the presence of this cache for some time but it is always too busy, and now too dark, to stop and cross the road safely at that hour. Today, we had been shopping at Winston Hills and decided to give it a go as we felt the traffic would be relatively light on a Sunday afternoon.

We parked in the side street across from the cemetery and had no trouble crossing Seven Hills Road. It took a while to find the cheekily located container. We were rummaging about where our GPSr devices were pointing when YGAT calmly inquired “Is this it?” D’oh, of course... !

A clever and amusing idea coupled with a fascinating place, it gets a favourite from me.

Thanks steveishere.

I loved the cryptic clue and this isle of the dead in a sea of traffic. Thanks for the cache steveishere, it certainly deserves a favourite.

I had deciphered what I was looking for by the time I had crawled through the fence, are you sure about the hint? Nice camo and I will award a fav point. SL #823 on streak day #306 TFTC

hahaha! creative!

Sensational!! Best find yet. Nearly walked away. Love that feeling of about to give up only to find it

An easy find on the second attempt today.

After work, headed out to find this one. Already had a clue in mind from a previous attempt after a phone a friend.

Sure enough, only a brief search was required today and I managed to find it. Very clever, brazen and sneaky. Nice spot too.

Thanks for the cache!

GeoMum and GeoSon M went looking for this one tonight while GeoDad drove off and parked a street away. Searched for about 10 minutes and was about to give up when GeoSon M moved around and the beam of his torch illuminated something.
Could this be what we are looking for?
Yes,it certainly is. SL and returned.
GeoMum is not a fan of graveyards, especially at night. Everything just seems spookier!
TFTC

Came to this one getting quite late at night. Not too spooky though, and despite all the cars, a very quiet and peaceful spot - I like it.

Found Pineapple, found what I was certain was the spot, but no luck. Searched and searched before messaging a recent finder who has been helping me out for a hint.

While waiting for response, searched more possible spots, but I was so focused on one particular spot that I think I wasn't looking where I should have been.

Got the hint later, and am looking forward to returning.

Thanks for the cache!

With a serious lack of caching this year and this cache being just up the road from a friends house, it seemed like a good opportunity for a quick hunt.

With friend in tow we entered the small graveyard and spent a short while reading the headstones before commencing a search. Initially following the phone we concentrated our search in one particular area, but nothing could be found. Giving up on that idea, I decided to re-read the cache description and some previous logs which then lead us to search a nerarby area. After a few minutes I spotted the obvious and we had a bit of a chuckle. The log was signed and returned, before we stood back and just looked at how obvious the hide was in hindsight.

Well done steveishere!

LOL! Yep that's gonna require some maintenance. TFTC

I drive past this most days, so today I found a place to park, took care crossing the road, stepped through the fence and began looking around. The GPS initially pointed somewhere slightly different so I gave these a good inspection but ended up perplexed. I decided to have a good look around in case I'd overlooked something obvious, and eventually came up with another possibility. I then rechecked the GPS and saw the pointer aiming directly at this location. One more 360 and I spotted it. So realistic! Thanks SIH for making such things a reality.

rogerw3 and I drove past GZ on our way back to the Blue Mountains, but the extremely heavy traffic daunted us, and we decided not to try to add this intriguing geocache to our afternoon's searches. In hindsight, we should have scouted out a suitable parking spot, sorely needed in the hectic 4:30pm rush hour. At other hours of the day, this GZ might well be easier to approach.

Like the Camo thanks

Car GPS sent me in all sorts of directions for this one trying to stop right outside which was impossible of course. Once I worked that out I found a park not far away and braved the traffic to get to GZ. Never knew this was here - graves date back before 1838 which is a long time ago for this area. Explored the area and then made the find in a forehead slapping moment! Fun.

Thanks!

Nice, very nice, found with mrryanmurray and Fairbz. SL-TFTC

Devillishly clever!! Nice easy find with JYGE and fairbz.TFTC.

Best ever!!! TFTC

Looked for the grave of granny Smith but couldn;t find it. Searched hard enough to enjoy the fruits of my labour. Clever one S. Sl..TFTC

Cleverly put together. Just like keeping up our streak, one a day. TFTC

Had time to kill after dropping Geokids at afterschool activities. I was here a few years ago doing a cache that has now gone to geoheaven, so it good to be back! Searched the likely spot for about 10 minutes and decided to change searching style and I came up with the goods. Haven't seen a container like this before, well done steve.
Cheers

An interesting piece of history inbetween all the roads. We managed to park in the half driveway (luckly we bought the small car to day) and in a few steeps where in the GZ zone. A quick look around and we soon had the cache in hand. The kids had a good laugh at the hide. Good enough to eat perhaps!. We completed the signing duties and replaced. TFTC

Amusing but don't think "pine"apple is quite accurate. We came across the road safely using the pedestrian crossing at the lights which is a better option than jaywalking and safer, especially with geokids.

Oh Steveishere I'haven't stopped laughing I stated in my previous log I didn't have my geocaching eyes on well it now appears I must have had them shut . went today for another shot at it and Oh my god how did we miss that last time. that gets a favourite point from me as I love a good laugh

Very funny steveishere, very funny in deed, this cache would be even better if it was in Eastwood....
Thanks for my second chance to come here, as I was here some years ago looking for another cache.

AAAARGHH!!! I looked everywhere for this cache. We spent around an hour searching everywhere, but to no avail...

Wish I could have found this one- it looked like fun!

1st one of the day and we didn't have our caching eyes on yet looked high and low for about 30 minutes and moved on. we did find our eyes by the next cache ...so we'll be back another day. Great spot passed here many times and never stopped.

1345, GAFF3, we parked the Geomobile not too away and did not know this placed even existed, some Pearce history in here.

After a hunt around we did not located the cache so we resorted to the hint, it still did not make sense.

Geoson headed back to the Geomobile and I persevered and eventually located the hide, now I get it, very funny steveishere.

SL, cache in good condition.

TFTC and brining us to this amazing place steveishere, worthy of our next Fav point

very clever

Haha what fun. As usual a good fun cache by steveishere thanks for what should be fairly quick, but in the dark turned into torture lol!

Quick DNF for the help given. Lots of fun

I'm just a bit bothered by the fact that I must share SIH's particular sense of humour. I had a vision of what I'd look for as soon as I'd read the page. Even so, I was searching for quite a while before my vision materialised, exactly as I'd imagined. Nice work Steve, deserves a fave.
Oh, yes, I found the pineapple too!

Like it. Not only have you bough us to a little spot tucked away the cache is well place and there is humor involved with the cache. TFTC. Also gets a favorite point.

Well this is the second time I have been to this small historical cemetery as there was a cache here years ago. It is amazing what you don’t see driving by like this location except for Geo-caching that takes you to these hidden treasures. My Geo-wife grew up less than 3klms away from here and had no idea that this cemetery existed. It took awhile to find and then the cache name actually made sense. I had another idea of what it could be which of course was wrong. A very clever cache and nice container, thanks.

A gorgeous sunny winter’s day presented itself, so why not go poking around in a cemetery in the middle of suburbia???
I had a quick look around the obvious places and came up empty handed, so I decided to have a closer study of the coordinates, and was so focused on my phone that I did not notice I now had company, as a BlundoBuster appeared form nowhere! Nice to meet you
We had a chat and did a bit of theorising about what the cache could be whilst searching some more. Then BB said – “WHAT IS THAT?” and we both had a laugh, not only at the cache itself, but the fact that we had been within a metre of it for about five minutes and neither of us had seen what was right before our eyes. I am sure Steveishere would have been havign a right royal laugh if he had have been watching
So I will log this as a find, as my name is on the log, but I can’t help but wonder how long I would have been looking for if it were not for BB, thank you.
Thanks Stevehishere for a great cache, favourite point awarded.

I was driving along Seven Hills Rd near this hide and I told myself that I could squeeze in a 5 minute search without being late for my next client.

So, this time in a car and not on a bike, ran across the road and straight to GZ. Doing so suddenly realised that I was not alone, as TheBidgies was standing in the middle looking at her phone - Nice to meet you.

So I gave her the rundown and I was about to leave again after a small search, otherwise I WOULD be late, suddenly saw something RIGHT in front of my eyes! It was as if someone had placed it there when I had my back turned.

So, log was retrieved and signed.

Fave point from me SiH!

BB.

Found without the GPS after others helped locate GZ. Then we just had to located the cache. Eventualy!?!

TFTC.

This came up today, and I decided to get it for my 100th day Geostreak. I drove over and after making a wrong turn, finally got to a parking spot. I then crossed the road and walked into the Cemetery. The GPSr had me near one tree, and it was at this time I realised I didn't even know what type of tree I was looking for. Then I checked the iPhone and it was pointing in the other direction. Low battery on the GPSr, so I'll use the iPhone.

I walked closer to GZ and then started searching around. What would this camo be? Steveishere did tell me once, that he had something, but I never found out what it was. I looked for about 5min in the failing light bfore I called the CO to question a pineapple tree He said I was in the right spot, so I kept him on the line while I continued my searched. I went here and there, but the little bugger wouldn't show itself. I used my little torch and after it shone in a certain spot the cache presented itself... HAHAHA...Funny SIH, Clever!!! I SL and replaced. Great to make my mates hide my 100th day streak find, nice one Steveo and a FAV from me. TFTC.

Found the little bugger second time round with Sensible Sis. The annoying part about finding this is that I was so close the day before when I DNF'd it. Nice one SIH. CobTod.

Day 28 of Dry July (oh the pain!)
Dropped by after visiting my parents and found a Blundo Buster lurking around in his cycling clobber. We searched here, we searched there, we searched everywhere for about 20 mins until BB headed off empty handed. I continued on in earnest and within minutes had this hilarious cih. I felt sorry fire BB who had helped earlier. Very very funny!
Thanks SiH!!
SL TFTC

Was out on a ride, and was close by so thought I'd check it out quickly. Well...quickly became a while! Was looking around at everything pineapple and not pineapple when a familiar figure appeared running across the road, good to see you again PPE.

We looked and looked and looked for a good 15 minutes when I had to get back on my bike. Left PPE to keep searching.

Because I rode in on a bike, parking and crossing the road was not an issue, but finding it was!

I'll be back.

Cheers, BB.

Searched in and around what I thought was halfway to being a pineapple tree but with no luck. Tried a few spots in the cemetary with the same result. This would probably have been a DNF but lucky for me CobTod turned up and had some idea what he was looking for and quickly had CIH. Thanks for the help and good to meet you. Great camo, at least I was sort of on the right track.
SL TFTC

I told Mr 4DXPLOR to wait but he wanted to go for the FTF as if we were in our geo4WD it wouldn't be a problem we would park right next to GZ...I've been told it's worth crossing the road for & now I know that there is a munzee there I will have to go back to zap it & have a look at this great cache
