I have been advised that this cache is on Private property and as such it should not be returned to an active status.
I am archiving this listing.
If a replacement cache is created it needs to be moved away from this property.
Thank you

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No luck and really not comfortable here. Think cache is missing from all the dnfs and the co not logged on since april 2016 so maybe tome to go?

Had a bit of a dig around with no luck

Great found

02-Apr-18

This afternoon I was out and about caching with my friends gral4 and mugglebro in the Grange area.

Found this with the help of previous logs, we also had the cache 10m south from the listed coordinates.

Out caching with Ismartis and Mugglebro for a very enjoyable half day getting some we hadn't been able to find, finding puzzles we had solved for a while and enjoying the quietness of Adelaide on a Good Friday. We had an exceptional day with no DNFs and lots of great caches, hides, luck and lovely environments.
Didn't feel comfortable doing this one but we did it anyway. cache is 10 metres south of posted co-ordinates and the scary sign.

After a great event down on the lake battling for the black flag of Captain BlueBeard the Pirate a motley group set sail into the night for further treasures. Big Grin After having coffee and Tim Tams near A (but not THE) Chain of Ponds, the clock ticked down to and past midnight but we weren't done yet. Razz
Despite the hint we all went barking up the wrong trees at first. Then we went and tried the largest and most obvious where the Mule found the prize. Smile Luckily no barking dogs as it was just after midnight and most were asleep - or shoul dhave been!

**Thanks The Nelli 5 for this cache. ** Big Grin

Using mr froghoppin’s log as a guide. Went to the big tree a fair way south and found the cache easily.

Thanks for the cache The Nelli 5. Found on 7 Jan 2018 at 12:13 am. Find #5658.

Too many muggles out gardening and put off by the keep out private property sign TFT non hunt
 
06-Jan-18
Found It!
It's in the large tree 10m to the south of where the GPS takes you. Searching for this feels like you're poking around in someone's front yard. The nearby 'Private Property" sign kinda confirms that.
 
31-Dec-17
Was a bit uncomfortable at first but a neighbour came out and gave us extra hints! At least they’re friendly
 
02-Dec-17
found with getnict. first time here i got muggle out ( solo ) just after the cache got released. Came back with getnict and got muggled out then came back later after getting another cache and found it.
 
02-Dec-17
Tried to find this earlier today but a Muggle nearby made us abort our search. Came back to find it later once he had left.
Found with sir_spectre.

Felt uncomfortable being here once before..... being so close to neighbours and the senior citizens home. Returned this afternoon with my 87 year old mom who provided an excellent alibi as we looked at the garden ..... and for the cache. Thanks Nelli5 for the hide!!
 
04-Nov-17
Tftc nice spot
 
08-Oct-17
Tftc, a bit uncomfortable at the start but reading comments helped!!
 
08-Oct-17
The tree was the clue
 
04-Aug-17
We searched for quite a while without luck. Felt more than a little uncomfortable hanging about in this garden area with a KEEP OUT .... PRIVATE PROPERTY sign only metres away.
 
04-Aug-17
We search for a while but it didn't feel right. ... not sure if this is a great idea for a hide spot.

Returned to this one this evening with Moneydork after reading a few logs we discovered the coords were out by about 10 to 15m and using the tree in the title the cache was quickly found, TFTC The Nelli 5 Wink

A grebt one to finally find

Cache seems to be in a retirement village

Not successful in our search for this one. Thanks The Nelli 5

Found it this time. I felt uncomfortable there. Twisted

Thanks The Nelli 5 for the cache Smile

Quick find on an afternoon of caching. TFTC
 
30-Dec-16
Seemed like a nice day to find a few caches out towards the coast. It seemed like we were in someone's garden at the posted co-ordinates, but we found the cache easily when we looked in the most likely spot. TFTC Smile
 
21-Dec-16
Found after looking up the wrong tree. Just about too give up and found it slightly buried. Thanks for the adventure.

I rolled up,
rolled up,
rolled up !!
By pushbike this morning,
to find this cache Smile

The mere mention of the olde folks home,
had me worried about zombies [:o]
But at this time of day none were rattling around Big Grin

I hurried up and headed for the obvious cache hiding place ...

... where I couldn't find a cache [:o]

Who'd a thought Red Face

I'll be back once I recharge me pacemaker Razz

Holidaying at Adelaide Shores with the family for a week. This morning we visited the amazing playground at St Kilda beach (awesome for kids) and on the way home we meandered stopping for a quick cache or two! This was one of them. A nice quick find. Many thanks Smile

Easy find because of name but GPS out. Tftc

Found while caching over in the western suburbs on a very nice spring afternoon.
Thanks for the cache The Nelli 5

The co-ords had me in the other property, 10 mts across the other sude. Thehe hint and big old tree is the only reason we found it. Felt like I was on private property even though it wasn't.

Caching today with Linda from 3LG.
After visiting sister for a coffee we headed to this cache.
Our gps had us on wrong side of path so glad the hint was there.
The dog barked close by and the log signed.

Felt a bit too intrusive locating the cache, luckily it was a quick search. Thanks for the cache The Nelli 5!

Found it after reading other logs. This was slightly out!

Finally a day off and a chance to grab some caches within the home zone.
I parked some distance away and walked to GZ. With workmen nearby they didn't notice me walk to the big tree, and thankfully it was a very quick find. I continued walking, opening and signing, but turning back a lady asked if I was okay. I just said I was enjoying a morning walkSmile
Replace and walked on past the big park back to the car.

The cammo is only good thing here.
Why do we need a cache outside elderly muggles windows?
 
27-Jun-16
Found at base. Get in quick as the ladies became suspicious and asked a few questions,said we were playing a worldwide game. Smile
 
25-Jun-16
Out for a drive along the coast on this lovely sunny winter day picking up a few stray caches along the way. [^] After finding the caches along the coast I headed inland to get some other strays. Big Grin
Wasn't too comfortable here but after reading a few logs I went to the correct tree and made the find. Big Grin Signed the log and was quickly away. Surprised
Thanks for the cache The Nelli 5. Smile

Dr Owl was driving with me along for the ride, the two aims for the day being to do some Whereigo and for Dr Owl to get find number 5,000. Laughs aplenty along the way, some misunderstandings leading us up the wrong road at times but an excellent day out all up.

Dr Owl sums up our efforts succinctly. Following the clue and the gps we started looking in the wrong spot some 15m north of where we found the cache. I felt extremely uncomfortable here (coords out, people around, poking around in somebodies pride and joy garden) - this cache is a prime example of why my urban caching efforts have died out.

Thanks for the cache The Nelli 5.
 
13-Jun-16
Having abandoned the Wherigo tutorial in favour of earning Owl her 5000th cache, the race was on for Sushilord and Owl to find 9 more caches. This was an uncomfortable find, with muggles in the street and some very close dwellings. Eventually spotted the cemetery further south than the coordinates had them and the cache soon afterwards.
 
04-Jun-16
This one had me hunting for a bit. I knew it wasn't on private property - so it had to be near the gum tree. Players, it's not on private property. Check the tree base. Don't scare the old girls in the units!

Thanks to The Nelli 5 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!




 
31-May-16
Private property???
 
28-May-16
Looked around to no avail [B)], so had a read of some logs and looked in a different place further south Smile.
No success Sad.
Started searching over again and spotted it by accident Big Grin.

Thanks to The Nelli 5.

Found with 2011*turtle. Our gps led us to the wrong area, but after reading previous logs we found the cache. TFTC

Found with vj187. A beautiful day to be out and about. TFTC
 
18-May-16
A bit dubious about the nearby homes but no muggles came out in the dark.
Relatively quick find in the torchlight. Neat hide Cool

Beware of the scary man who lives there.
 
28-Apr-16
Got it on the second attempt.
I was a little uneasy about searching somebody's garden at first.
Coordinates put me a few meters away, or was that just the large Gum Tree interfering with the signal? Eventually spotted the tricky little hidem though. Nice camo. [^]

Find #1526
 
24-Apr-16
Parked at the end of the street and walked to GZ, a very clever hide that took geomum a few minutes to spot!

Besides being asks "geocachers are you??"... we are sure we weren't spotted
Nice cleaver hide. Feeling the cold, we were about to give up for the night but then spotted the cache.

Found @ 2240. Smile
 
13-Apr-16
Wandered down after this one was published. Felt very sketchy looking around GZ, not sure this is the best place for a cache location. Looked in the obvious place based on name, a good 10m from GZ. Left after a few minutes empty-handed.

At a time when most people are sleeping but we had not long finished watching a Vin Diesel movie about witches out came another cache.
Hmmm, down there. No, not tonight...I've had enough late nights lately [)]
Then I saw RTGW's DNF log roll in and it was like a red rag to a bull! Wink
Brodie, muggle partner and I headed out in the pitch black of night for a drive.
Arriving near GZ it was not pitch black for long as a sensor light went on and off and on and off Surprised
A quick look at where the GZ coords had us before we moved over to a more likely place.
Ah, pet cemetery... we must be getting closer Smile
While I was one side, muggle partner was the other and you can guess who found the cache Red Face

Woohoo! *FTF* Cool

Loved the camo on the cache Cool
I'd suggest though that this cache container is a micro rather than a small.
No barking dog was heard and no muggles were seen! Cool
I can be quiet at times..honestly! Wink

We headed home and got 2/3s of the way home when muggle partner realised that he didn't have his ecig anymore Twisted
Back we drove and he got out and looked in the very first place he had looked for the cache and there it was.
So as we drove home almost 2 and 1/2 hours after leaving, the sun was almost up and the traffic was flat out. I sure hadn't expected to be gone so long! Wink

This is urban caching at it's best.

Took a while but we eventually got or name in the log book.

Nice hide.

The back of Burke was nowhere to be seen in this interesting area. The cache is a very clever hide. The cache name is perfect. Expect the unexpected.
