Quiet Street? (aka Feeling Awkward?) St Albans Park, Victoria, Australia
By Nosey Neighbour on 26-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4TNJ3

Time for this to go. Thanks to everyone who has found and logged it.

Such an easy cache that seems to cause a lot of confusion even with the hints telling one where to look and virtually where it is.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Down in Geelong for the arvo to meet some friends, we then had some time to find some caches before heading home. We attempted this one and once we looked at the clue concentrated on the said area. We had no luck getting access though as we didn’t want to damage it and couldn’t get it open. Thanks anyway Nosey Neighbour

Presuming we were looking in the right spot, cache housing was unable to be opened/accessed

TB trip n dip

Almost impossible to open.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

DNF it was a bit awkward finding it with the neighbors looking out the window, we also didn’t have any tools on us so we’re trying a different one.

Ahaaaaaaa

Second time round but no luck off to look for another one

Nice cache and a tool was needed
TFTC

Pretty hard but doable

TBs dip n trip

Both my sisters teamashy and destiny ruler have both done this cache, so i had to do it while visiting them. Our friend Matt helped retrieve it. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Waiting for postie to disappear then when coast was clear made a dash for it. Yes. Definitely awkward.

Easy find that needed a confident hand. Showing a Muggle the game while having a break from a nearby Birthday party. Clever hide and well suited to the location. TFTC

Just a little awkward at night with torches :/ good hide. Tftc

Interesting cache very clever!!

Phew that was very awkward! Lol quick find on the way into town. Tftc!

TB trip n dip.

Thanks for an interesting cache although we got a bit of help from two little cachers

A cache friendly householder i assume.
Tftc

Easy find

After several attempts at this one dragged my friend out with me who had a keen eye for caching and he was able to find it. TFTC

I wasn't the least bit awkward, mainly relieved that I didn't have to climb a tree, scramble under a bush or climb a hill on this hot morning.
Thanks for this audacious hide

Out and about on the bike today, after not caching for a long time due to educational activities, it was time to get out and use some million dollar satellites to find some Tupperware containers!

After riding from Geelong to Moolap and beyond, I am pleased to say that I accomplished my goal of completing Bushfire's part of the G2Q trail. I small achievment in the eyes of others (especially Phetlern who I bumped into today with their 17,000+ finds!) [:o)]

Some great hides have been found in this part of the trail, hides such as 'All aboard', 'Gates to nowhere', 'H20', and 'nowhere to hide' really stick out in my memory as great caches.

After completing the trail I veered off and found some other caches by Darth Briji which were also great fun.

Was able to swing by and collect this guy today. Luckily I have been eating my green's as this cache is a hard one to remove, replaced more softly.

TFTC TNLN SL all good here

Yep

TB trip 'n' dip

2nd visit and some curious neighbours but found our first one!

My sixth day of my geocaching holiday. I had quite a few to find today in order to reach my 7000th find tomorrow. Unfortuately I had found most of the power trails already so had to find the scattered caches around the area.

Thanks for all the caches!

Quick grab. TFTC.

Been in Victoria for three weeks walking the Great Ocean Walk (100k) and the Goldfields Track (200k). Spent a day and a half in Geelong before getting the bus to start walking from Apollo Bay. Spent some time finding the local caches. TFTC.

We found it! Our first one. Took us a while, feeling very sus.

3 down. More to go.

Felt VERY awkward in this suburban street on a quiet Sunday arvo...found it and high tailed it outta there lol

Looked at 13, nope i was wondering if it was a fence but nope, geomum found it straight away, along with a cracked egg in the cache

Nice easy one

Found it

We attempted this one early on in its publication with no success and noticed the hint had evolved so it was worth a shot today with some spare time up our sleeves. Our cache ninja skills were so honed Darth Briji didn't even have time to spot us before the fullish log was signed and we had departed with the wind! Just needed a neat soundtrack to be playing... TFTC and at long last a smiley.

As I pulled up I assessed the GZ area and had an idea or 2. Fortunately my geosenses were tuned in and I managed an immediate find. I signed the log at the car and with the coast clear (I think), I quickly returned the log. TFTC Darth Briji.

We went out first time and saw someone at the window so we ran back to car
Then a man walked up the road and we all hid we looked at the hint and tried again after two more attempts of searching and reading the hint again we found it

Got it

Went back for the find tonight. Quieter than usual there.

Easiest find yet. Because I'm sneaky and tagged along with jrandombob and geopup! Muahaha.
And yes. Very awks. Even in quiet night time.

Took one of the geopups for a wander past this one. DNF at this stage as I figure three passes might be a bit sus. Pretty sure I know where it is for the next pass.

We tried! Even had a guy yell out to us where it was but we were not strong enough lol

My first attempt at finding a geocache ever- felt so awkward with muggles watching me gave up after a few minutes. Not as easy as it seems.

new the hide, very simple but new it was there. construction workers in the yard were about to tell me to knick off so i couldn't grab this guy.

Day 4 of our geoholiday in Victoria and after spending the last 2 days on the bikes we decided to tackle the drive byes to give our legs a rest, the street was fairly quiet and found the cache in the first spot i looked, its great when that happens : ) TFTC

The title says it all! This was super awkward sitting across the street trying to subtly figure out which brick or bush or pole or crack it was hiding in! I took the leap after letting the cars go past. Tried one spot..no go. Tried the second spot with geo-gf muffled directions from the car. BINGO! Grabbed it, dashed to the car and signed the log. Had to act cool putting it back, as there were some muggles 2 houses down doing muggle stuff.
Very sneaky and exciting hide

JH & SB

Where was it near I've look 3 times now

Felt very awkward so my partner got out and did it. Tftc

Talk about feeling awqs haha thanks for the cache darth briji

Nice find

TFTC!!! Took my friend to her first ever geocache! Placed mt Wellington token from a cache in Tasmania!

Good hide!

Tftc

A nice quick find after a night out at the circus. Been here once before but couldn't search properly as it was anything but quiet that day. TFTC!

TB dip n trip

Found it after about 10 mins of looking. A good fiddle around is needed. Street gets busy and a few dodgey people around.

As we approached GZ the app decides to crash, at the same time some muggles appear, the geomonkey and I decide to sit on the curb and reboot while waiting for another quiet time to attempt our find, as most of the muggles leave a voice comes from behind us... It's mrs Darth Briji! Had a quick chat, found the cache, and were on our way again! TFTC and loan of the pen while you sharpened the pencil! Cheers!

Second time here easy now lol.

Sometimes timing is everything when Geocaching,had just finished signing log when a car drove out the driveway.Thanks for another cache Darth Briji
Tnlnsl

Here I am just minding my on business with geo-baby and some weirdo in a car pulls up and starts going on about something hidden here. I'm thinking to myself what sort of weirdos just tell people stuff like that. Quickly look again where I had already looked and still nothing. The weirdo comes over and struggles aswell. A quick tool and bingo I had the log in my hands. After signing the log geo-baby and myself headed back into a nearby house where the weird I followed. Turns out it was his house. Haha.

Log signed and replaced.

TFTC TNLN.

Couldnt find it first try. Gained some experience, came back, found it in no time. Tftc

TB & Coin dip

No luck for me here today.

One of 8 cachers on a great day following a verry slow trip fron Burwick to Ceelong with Roostaman while in Melbourne for the megga
Thanks for the cache Darth Briji

Couldnt find and felt like a creeper looking around.

It's funny watching people pretending to be on the phone feeling around for a cache! hahahaha Thanks for the entertainment

we found it. It was fun. It would still be their.

We found it. It was fun. Took us two attempts.

Found it late at night ... Such a quiet street at night shhh! A quick find great work ! TFTC!

Grabbed this one at 2am with Duffmmm. Pretty sure we escaped undetected, although the smallest noises we made rang out through the dead calm night. TFTC

hated this one haha had to be quick in case someone was watching. found with ambarta

Thanks. First go, kind of thought I was looking for something a little bigger...good spot.

Drove down here to see some people looking at their phones and looking puzzled. Fellow cachers! This was their very first cache and I was pleased to be able to help them out. TFTC!

Found it (kind of). This was our first cache and we didn't really know what we were doing. We stood around for 5 minutes confused as to where the cache could be until Maggiedot arrived and saved us by finding it immediately.

Not a bad start to geocaching. Thanks Maggiedot!

I didn't take anything. This was my first geocache and was under the impression there was something to swap in each thing sorry for the confusion!

Found it, sad though cause no one ever left anything in it, just took whatever was there and didn't leave anything in return

Hmmmm... VERY worried about last log. MICROS don't have any swaps in them. Wondered what you took

Feeling awkward? Ah.....YES! Geez a very uneasy feeling looking around at the front of houses... Knowing the CO I had an idea where I might find it.... Gotcha! TFTC

Found on an afternoon caching run with RoadRunna....TFTC

With BROWSIE52 we did a sneaky walk up to the cache or did we, we signed the log and did a sneaky drive out of the street. TFTC.

Another trip to Geelong this afternoon for some caching fun generally had a great time touring around with a lot of quick finds. Many thanks to Darth Briji for the effort and placement of this cache. TNLN SL

Nice day out caching down at Geelong, good sweep of the area. Tftc

Back to Geelong today in company with Slink1 and JT123 for some caching activity. The weather was iffy at best but the rain held off for the most part. Thanks to the cache owner for the placement of the cache and the time taken to look after it. TFTC TNLN SL

Found it

Our first find for the day. A nice cache hidden quite well for a one difficulty. SL. Off to the next cache. TFTC.

In Geelong today to get a few more smilies towards our next milestones with bogonghazy and Tess. Definitely a quiet street and definitely feeling awkward. Fortunately BH made the quick find and we were on our way. Thanks Darth Briji

With a Friday off before having to work the weekend, Sorceysal, Tess the geodog and I took the opportunity to head down to Geelong to cross off just a few of the multitude of caches placed here since my last visit.

Well, awkward is only the start of it here. Cars coming and going, pulling into the houses opposite.
Thankfully, we had our hands on it pretty quickly, so were on our way again.
Thanks, I think, for another of your testty caches today Darth Briji.

That's really hard thanks for the help great cashe we felt arkward

Found and conquered

Finally found it giant weight off my teams shoulders, it's been a while

Thankfully went right to it otherwise would have felt a bit uncomfortable and exposed.

After 3 or 4 failed attemps, finally accessed it! Thanks to Darth Briji for his very prompt first aid of cache. TFTC

Hello Chris I was driving past your house on Friday on saw two people which I now know are rebel and poppet climbing all over your front drive. I slowed down wound the window down and shouted out the window. So I didn't hold up a car coming the other way. I think it helped as I got a thank you from both in the logs.

not found
