Tftc. Just watching footy and thought we would go for a walk and add another cache on the list.
 
ha ha.... We reached close to GZ - as we pulled up we quickly observed what we thought was a great cache hiding spot, only one problem.... bees... and I have a bee alergy. I wanted to go look but didn't have an my eppy pen so staying safely inside the car while Ian gingerly removed several rocks only to find the item he thought was the cache was actually rubbish. Time to reassess the situation and take a second look at the GPS. Ah.... the cache was actually a few metres away. Once at the real GZ the cache was quickly located.


thanks The Nigels

After our worst ever day for def's, why not add one more.
We searched everywhere, even removed a straw that someone had jammed into the bees entrance, just couldn't find the cache.
An interesting piece of history, thanks for bringing us here
 
27-Apr-16
Nice

There's a bee hive near it at the moment but luckily the hive is 3 metres away....
 
11-Feb-16
Tftc Cheers
 
07-Feb-16
Geocache is once again active. The geocache can be retrieved without going near a beehive in a closeby location.
 
07-Feb-16
Replaced cache. Not near bees. Good to go.
 
20-Oct-15
Disabled u til another location found. Bees have made a home with the geocache
 
17-Oct-15
Quite a bee hive. Surprised

TFTH. The Nigels

Came by here today to pick up this cache but a swarm of bees have made their home here. It appears very dangerous as the bees got angry as I approached.

THTH. The Nigels
 
22-Sep-15
Too many bees because I'm arllergic thank you but no thank you
 
05-Aug-15
This is another very close to home cache that has taken me ages to seek out. And a very interesting scrap of history hiding here that I had never noticed before.
The cache was found after searching the wrong tree and braving the bees that are still very active.
Thanks for the cache The Nigels.
 
29-Jun-15
The bees are still there, so take care. How many times have we driven by without knowing the well was there? Thanks for taking us there.
 
25-Jun-15
As we approached GZ it was obvious that a swarm of bees had camped where we thought it was - Luckily it was a bit the other way and we managed to retrieve the cache, sign the log and get away without disturbing them, TFTC
 
24-Jun-15
Loved this one! TFTC. A nice easy find Smile
 
21-Jun-15
A deserted park today ensured that we had a trouble free hunt here Big Grin

The Nigels - jinta29 found your cache Stock Well on 21/06/2015 12:22 pm. This is my find #3347 and find #5 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!
 
27-May-15
Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name
 
27-May-15
A nice easy find. Now there was something significant about this find....what was it?....was it that Geohubby stood in some dog poo & stunk the car out all the way home?.....Oh no, now I remember it is the 9000th find for Clan Wallace yeah! TFTC
 
13-May-15
thought i found it. Reached down into a tree hollow and picked put a big rock. that wasn't it. The bees in that hollow were not impressed and swarmed. gave them a few minutes to settle down then approached the area again slowly, looking out for bees. I didn't even get stung. I think the multiple bee hives increase the difficulty and terrain on this one. TFTC Very Happy
 
05-May-15
Took a little time to locate....TFTC
 
03-May-15
Pouring down with rain got completely drenched looking for it. Tftc
 
16-Apr-15
A quick find while up this way today.. TFTC
 
09-Apr-15
Getting my numbers up
 
06-Apr-15
We came home from camping 1 day early so thought we would click up some caches while out cruising around. GeoMum scored this one relatively quickly. No need to go near the bees. Pete said someone was murdered here. Very sad.
 
23-Mar-15
The angry bees are still very close by. Luckily spotted the hide quickly, grabbed the container and recorded our visit a few mts away in safety before returning. Thanks The Nigels
 
08-Mar-15
Found it but look out for some bities that nearly got me... Smile
 
27-Nov-14
Found it on recent holiday. Had same problem with the bees but got there in the end . Thanks The Nigels
 
20-Nov-14
With a couple of hours to spare, we headed down Mandurah way today to find a few caches... When we arrived to this park a muggle was playing hide & seek & hiding behind GZ from her dogs? So we actually searched another tree first... Turns out there was a swarm of bees there & they were not happy that we were there! Jase then grabbed the cache & we ran away whilst being chased by one angry bee in particular... It would not give in & after making some big swishy sticks to fling around the cache was replaced! TFTC The Nigels Smile

Hi. Will fix coordinates ASAP. Sorry
 
06-Oct-14
To be honest I wouldnt know where to start! Within 5 -10m?? Most trees are out of that radious and the one that was definately didnt have a cache. Maybe a change of co-ordinates.

we have re hid the geocache in a different place within 5-10 metres of original geocache.
 
11-May-14
actually tried to show to cousin but cache had been thrown down in a hole in th well a bit dissapointing really ps gz is now a mound of dirt
 
27-Apr-14
Sorry to hear about the demise of the cache. When we visited the council workers were way over the other side of the oval busily mulching trees. We have noticed they've been chopping down and mulching trees on the bypass road and even in our local park ("Tree park") they've been removing trees. Not sure why they would want to remove an old burnt out tree stump..... maybe it's a case of boys with new toys?
 
20-Apr-14
Not having much luck at this spot first one down the well second one the shire knocked our hiding spot over found cache all chewed up will replace as soon as possible Smile
 
16-Apr-14
After a short search the cache was located. Great camo. Found cache intact and in good condition. TFTC and a fav' point from us.
 
19-Mar-14
Had been saving this one for a day when I needed to make a find for the 366 day challenge. Quick find, though the camo and cache were not together. Replaced the cache as I thought it should have been. Thanks The Nigels
