Twelve Caches Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia
By Bells Angels on behalf of Santa Claus on 10-Sep-12. Waypoint GC3TBME

According to a log and the listing this cache is no longer there so is archived.

The first line of the description says "Cache archived".

Can it be archived?

I started walking to this one, but as I read the description I began to think this one is gone?

Is it still there?

Or is this going to be archived as your note says?

Thanks to the Christmas Present by BA, TB54Q7M is now active

Zalgar & Zhaomin's Linking "Z" is made and ready to carry out a special mission. Zal and Zhaoy have been separated by nasty visa restrictions and this TB wants to travel to China from Sydney to bridge the gap between them

The SkULL had its first event today. The Victorian cache awards for 2012. Lotsa emails.

My TB went to Germany just before Christmas with Oermser.
Since then it has moved a bit and went to an Itialian themed event yesterday. Here are some of the logs translated:

At today's event Koblenz I could admire this beautiful piece. Thanks for it says CADS11
Discovered on the Gc Stammtisch! We help you to travel!
Discovered on the Koblenz GC Stammtisch. Have a nice trip
Discovered at the 43rd Koblenz GC Stammtisch - Una sera italiana
On the one I'm missing for my old secretary. I wanted to take him on.
At the 43rd Koblenz Stammtisch seen. Thanks for pointing.
Today at 43 Koblenz GC Stammtisch-una sera italiana.
Seen very beautiful piece.
Thanks for the show.
TFT TB + Coins Lombo1
Oermser discovered it Visit Log
I know that key
I have seen it at the event "43 Koblenz GC Stammtisch - Una sera italiana"
Greetings from germany
February 16, 13 DieWallis placed it in 43 Koblenz GC Stammtisch - Una sera italiana

Not sure if Google is really up to translating geocaching logs that well but it seems that the key is certainly meeting lots of people.

Finally found something suitable to be my tag mascot, Wayamba Wundarra - Aboriginal for turtle warrior
2D36A5 mission is to find my aboriginal ancestors, I will be using him to log my distance travelled on my next 1038 caches - I am on 962 today and he will be let go on my 2000 cache

Until next time.. I'll put some statistics in the listing before archiving. If you are releasing a TB please still let me know as I will set up a way of keeping track of them all (probably will use tb-run.com even though it's not a race(it was going to be originally but was disallowed))

This cache will be archived this weekend.

Fantastic tree tftc merry belated Christmas

Such a thoughtful Christmas present! Thank you. It was very nice meeting you and your family, as well as georover. I took a TB (and wrapped present) and left a TB as well as piece of mica from the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA. And thank you also for all the entertainment you've given me with all your hides. You certainly have a creative streak in you...

ALL Travelbug presents are now gone. Congratulations to Melelina for getting the last one.

I will be creating a publicly shared and editable google docs Spreadsheet to track as many bugs as possible (This was originally going to be a travelbug race but it would have been too much work )

I will email the link to the doc to everyone.

Really lively idea - merry Xmas TFTC

Thank you so much for all the joy you have given us this year. We will try to send the bug off flying

Find #1328 - 1 for today. Found on 14/01/13 12:45 PM
Merry Christmas and a Happy new year, thanks for the cache, grabbed one of the travel bugs will release it as soon as I can. SLLN

Final find for Saturday! We arrived chez BA to find the much applauded cache still festively in place. I signed the log, and jnr CC took a TB for him to send out into the world under his own steam!

We tried the door-bell afterwards but, sadly, the BA family seemed to be out, meaning an intro would have to wait til another day!

TFTC, and the generosity, BA!

Christmas Bells from Bells Angels Travel Bug No. TB4Y9RY will start it's journey today in Geocaching world. Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for the right decoration to attach to the Travel Bug

Easy find once I paid my dues to the cache guardian.
T tb geobash and present
Thanks for a great cache

Been looking at this for a while but a recent spate of Night Caching has kept it off the radar. Today with high temps predicted and heading out to see the Hobbit this evening I decided to pop out early and grab a TB while the Grabbing was good Sadly this meant Zhaoy was still being a sleepy head and will have to come back another day. Spotted the prize and while I sat to sign rang the doorbell for fun and sure enough Mr and Mrs BA were home for what turned into an extended chat for over half an hour... (both of us procrastinating work ) Also picked up a bonus or two on sight and a free glass of lemonade

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year! TFT-TB! We already have plans for it

Rated: for Overall Experience

We had already done some os Bells Angels caches and really enjoyed them. It was great to find this one and be able to meet one of the Angels and there lovely cats!

Greetings from Portugal, hope you can visit there soon!
TFTC!

Geobrother had spoken very highly of the famous Bells Angels mystery caches, some of which i still have not solved, but thats another story. Well we were in the area and when he told me the location of this cache i could not resist not stopping by. Met Mrs BA, had a nice chat and logged our find. Also got secret info about another cache buts thats another log altogether.

Very Nice cache and a great hide .

Found it, thanks bells angels. picked up morsee horsee and my very own non activated TB to invent and send on its way soon! thank you so much for the xmas gift bells angels. ps i won't forget your birthday and will add where i will place a tb close by for you to find which i currently have my possession.

Hope that travel bug shows up. If it makes you feel better, I've just been away for a week and whilst I logged my finds online, I've got a weeks worth of travel bug movements to log online.

Unfortunately our new TB http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TB4Y9RZ appears to have gone AWOL from it's first cache. I have checked the actual logbook and contacted the finder who has not logged on line but to no avail so far. Some things weren't meant to be

This is the second cache we have found on your doorstep. Was so nervous the first time around! This time wasn't so bad We knocked on the door but no one was home, except for the cat (gorgeous by the way and so friendly and affectionate!) Saw the pressies but hadn't read the description properly so didn't take anything as we had nothing to leave! LOL. Thanks again for another fantastic cache. We always look forward to doing yours when we come up to Sydney

On the way towards the twentieth (and final) find of the day, thought I'd go and visit Santa Claus.
Thought I might have a chance at finding one of the left-over Christmas Pressies.

But alas, couldn't find any pressies (did chuck out some old plastic bags - or at least I hope they are trash), and Santa Claus wasn't there either.

A very belated Happy Christmas .. Ho, Ho, Ho!

Belated merry Christmas from delta squad. Such a great idea! Will drop off at one of our next finds. Cheers bells angels!

Travel bug now activated. (TB4Y9RZ) Just need to drop it in a cache today or tomorrow to start it's journey before Christmas. Thanks Bells Angels

Looks like Santa has topped up the travel bugs. There's now 9 more left!

Only four days until Christmas. Shelley (TB4Y9RV) has begun her journey, properly kitted out with the passport she picked up at the Twelve Caches.

It's my first trackable; thanks for the kick-start into this new (for me) aspect of geocaching.

After knocking on the door and meeting the whole family went to look for the cache . So tough! Thanks for the present and the conversation, look forward to grabbing more of your caches and possibly meeting at an event.
Cheers Morley 196 TFTC

TB drop. Dropped my TB gift back into cache to get moving and a gc.

Merry Xmas to you and your family. Great idea, nice decorations and veggie garden. TFTC and have a great holiday. Took a TB will have it on its way soon. Also dropped a TB off.

Had a short conversation with the angels wife. Nice lady. Have a merry Christmas.

TB is activated and can be viewed at TB code: TB4X0Y8.
As suggested by BA in the description, I have attached a miniature arm sling.
TFTTB, Merry Christmas!

Found this afternoon, I like the cache, left a Boomerang Trackable and took gold ingot Trackable and also picked up a Christmas present, Thank you Bells Angels. Lovely to meet you both and thank you for the coffee and chat. Merry Christmas

WOOOHOOO. My first traceable activation. Thanks BA!

Awesome, met the bells angels wife! Thank you for the cache, the Christmas present and the lovely chat!
With Pirry and DiOnlyBob.

Thanks for the present. With supasmile, pirry

Thanks BA for a nice chat. Always good to meet other cachers, especially one with such interesting hides and mysteries. Thanks for the TB also.

I found it with the help of Pirry's idea. This was a weird experience at first because we had never been welcomed into the friendly CO's front yard and whilst we retrieved the cache many times we double thought the idea of ringing the door bell until Pirry got his gusts together and went for it. Don't be affraid to say a friendly hello to Bells Angels, they are very friendly and quite funny plus you get to meet their adorable cat. TFTC and Chat.

thank you for the prezzy and have a very merry christmas, tftc

My Christmas Tree was stolen last night. I hope someone needed a tree for their kids and it doesn't get thrown off a cliff or something. In the mean time until I can replace it, don't rely on the hint.

I can't believe some loser stole your tree... that's a pretty low act.
We will have out TB up and activated soon and will let you know when it is.
Cheers and Merry Christmas

So today when I went to get a new tree from K-Mart at the metro a guy took my parking spot. I had to walk further but then I found a Christmas tree chucked out with some other trash.
SCORE!
It's better than the old one (and i've bolted it down too)

TB now activated. I will be bringing it to the Twelve XII event at Strawberry Hills tonight. Cheers

Hi Bells Angels - I have activated my trackable "Devil Inside (The Cache)". He'll be released into the wild very soon but first he'll be visiting RMS's event caches tomorrow night with me.
Cheers! KRS.

Tiny streets and a tiny yard made me feel very exposed on my approach but a sizeable container and an easy find soon made the visit quick and inconspicuous. Not too many pressies left but accepted BA’s generous gift and already thinking about my first attempt at releasing a TB. Merry Christmas to the Angels and all who seek “yonder stars” at GZ. May the caching elves continue to provide more goodies for us to log in the New Year.

I have activated my trackable and it will soon be in the wild: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TB4Y9T5

Thanks again Bells

Rinsemesocks - outstanding log entry! You may just win the same reward as last year.


I have started linking to released trackables in the listing.

It took me a little while, walking back and forth, to decide that I'd found the right front yard; and then in I went and took a seat. It was a relief to find the cache, and know that I wasn't in the wrong place. So nice to find someone spreading the joy of the season. Thanks for the cache, and for the trackable, which I shall send on its way very soon.

Swung by today after only discovering this new cache on my GZ map yesterday. Noticed lasts years Christmas cache while I sat down and discovered this new one. I took a TB as I had one go missing in a muggled cache in California earlier this year and another of my TBs has not been logged for over a year! I will have to come up with something to attach to it. Thanks Bells. I also left a traveler for you to have some fun with. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your front verandah next year!

Found this wonderful cache with Rat&Brats. Loved the garden, wish ours looked as good. It felt a little strange to be able to sit and relax whilst filling out the log. Bells Angels, thankyou for the cache and the trackable, and a merry Christmas to all.

Saw the notification for this one when it was listed, but, couldn't get over there. I saved it on the app (gotta love the app!) for a later possibility.

I was going through saved lists today, looking for a possibility for my daily cache, pulled this one up, counted the logs and was very surprised to see that it hadn't been visited that many times.

I grabbed JustR and we headed over.

It was a bit weird going into someone's front yard, but, we went in, sat down & grabbed cache from it's hiding spot.

We sat for a while, reading previous logs & admiring your garden. I like the way you've got your beans - I think I'll try mine like that next season.

Signed the log, took a TB and will put up a notice & picture when I work out what to attach to it.

This was certainly a cache with a difference and very generous - gets a fave point from me!

Thanks very much for the cache, Angels.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas

ps. Loved the Twelve Days song - it was cute.

I was standing at Redfern Station when this came alive in the other day and was tempted to head in the opposite direction. But as always time constraints prevented me. So after a very busy weekend I made sure I had a little bit of time left to go and celebrate with a bit of caching christmas cheer down Marrickville way.

This cache with gift trackables displays the generosity of the Bells Angels clan. I thought I would quietly sign and leave thinking Sunday afternoon was down time but I was sprung in the act which was followed by a nice long chat re all matters geocaching. When I started geocaching I never expected it to be such a great way of meeting people but it has certainly turned into that. I even thought I saw Whitlam at one point but it was a different feline.

Thanks for your generosity Bells - the trackable will be on its way overseas soon and I will advise of its tracking number when I organise it.

TFTC - Fave!

The first bug is in the wild.

PREMIUM status removed.

All going well planning to attempt to find this cache today sometime between 16h00 and 17h00

I did notice that decoration. I forgot to mention it. I also forgot to mention how friendly your cat is. It was sitting on the seat, then jumped off and was rubbing itself against my legs. Btw, it's molting fur. All over my pants. Haha...

Wow, thanks for the effort and wishes Bell and Angels. Lets see how fast the gifts are collected. I will try either today or tomorrow, it would be a great Cache to mannage on my 276th continuous day.

30/11/12 8:14 AM. Cache #270. Current streak: 82 days. I don't get out here caching too often but it looked like too much fun to pass up. Have a fave point, Bells Angels, TFTC & Merry Cachemas to everyone.

Thank you Bells Angels for the cache,
Merry Christmas and all the best for the festive season. Thank you for the chance to share a festive exchange and meet Geo wife & mum.
Your cache has made it very enjoyable and easy for me to add day 276 to my personal challenge as I attempt to reach 366 cosecutive caching days including the 29th February 2012 (90 days to go).
I visited a group of trackables helping to attempt my challenge and learn about local caches. I am sure the owners will be impressed with this cache, worthy of a favourite.

This is a really cool cache!!! Easy to find, comfortable seating to log and a travel bug gift to set off on a journey. What a great idea. Found with "The Neighbs" on a very hot morning. Thanks Bells Angels. Loved the Christmas carol too! Merry Christmas to you all. Took the gamecube travel bug to move on as geohusband and son will love that one! Thanks for placing this cache. Gets a favourite point from me!

I thought it was only fitting that I come and retrieve a gifted travel bug from this cache since I was used as an example in the cache description and I am so experienced with the sling. Nearly ended up in it again yesterday after doing a bush cache. I think I will ban myself from them for a little while...

And, yes I will attach something of the like to the travel bug.

I finished work today out at Penrith and thought, It's a long drive home anyway, why not detour right out of my way to grab this cache.

As I approached GZ, it was quite obvious where the cache was hidden. I parked up and went in to find the cache. It appeared no one was home. I signed the log, took a TB and also dropped a TB for someone to move along.

This is a brilliant idea for a temporary cache. Thanks Bells Angels and have a Merry Christmas. Great song too junior Bells. I will post up a photo of the Tb once I figure out what to attach to it.

Once again Thanks for the cache!!!

Great idea #mrryanmurray and thanks for visitting.

All - when and if you release your travel bug, write a note here.

I wonder if you noticed our Christmas tree has a decoration from the swedish emporium?

PREMIUM CACHE status will be removed this Sunday.

Found on a warm morning with "Sat down". What a fantastic cache! Thanks for the cache and the TB Bells Angels =) Earns a favourite point from us.

Nice idea! Merry Christmas Bells - I am not sure what I could leave though - something crazy.

Nice idea indeed. Shame we do not live a bit closer. Merry Christmas

Hopefully the Zargfinders don't visit. Don't think you want a Zarg left at your door

Impeccable!! On serait la avec des chocolates. C'est just a cote d'un Australien oublie que je cherche aussi!

Second to find. Missed it by about an hour.

I am lost for words BA, so I thought I would sing it to you instead (to the tune of White Christmas):

I’m dreaming of a BA geocache
Just like the one I found last year
Hidden on his front porch
No need for a big torch
To find that geocache hanging on the line

I’m dreaming of a BA geocache
Just like the one I found last year
Where the cache just glistens
Whilst I just listen
In case BA springs me as I find

I'm dreaming of a BA geocache
With every caching log I write
May your caching be merry
And searches not scary
And may all your caches be online

Merry Christmas and thanks for the Cache!!!

PS. Pardon the bad singing. I'm tone deaf....

Will be at Newington on the weekend so will try to come here
Looks great

FTF 17:30
Fantastic cache Bells Angels I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas but this was an extremely well decorated and cheerful cache it brought a smile to my face:)
No sign of Whitman today sadly however it was great to sit back an watch the world go by for a moment while I signed the log and claimed my prize:)
Hopefully if the tree is still out by the time I get back from my next adventure I hope to add to it before Santa arrives:)
Until next time
TFTC

Congratulations to Holyman54 for FTF and rinsemesocks for 2TF

Equipe des fous - Santa a dit qu'il ne veut rien en retour, mais quelque chose de fou attaché à une TB serait vraiment genial!

Have a Good Christmas!

TB drop

Just to clarify, you don't need to bring something here to attach to a travel bug. Take one, take it home and do it when you can, release it in the wild and watch it travel the world.
