Monopoly Series: Euston Road Aldgate, South Australia, Australia

Archiving cache as there is no indication from owner they are going to fix this cache.

Another DNF and no action for two months following previous Admin intervention. It might be time for this one to disappear off the map.

This evening with looming COVID-19 lockdown impacts growing closer every day, I was still determined to head out for some fitness whilst we still had the freedoms. Hence, this evening, I decided to head to do a few jogs and runs around the areas of Stirling, Aldgate, and Bridgewater. The weather wasn't the best with it being a little drizzly, which probably helped to explain why I didn't see any other joggers around also. Just a few locals walking dogs, or walking along the roads carrying their shopping around. There were a few geocaches along the way that hadn't been found in quite some time, which also decreased any risk of COVID-19 transmission. Some nice areas about.

I did see the string of DNFs, and thought I would have a quick myself. Plenty of hiding spots around, but no cache found. I even made a PAF to a previous finder, who gave me some comments and hints, but still alas, no cache. It may still be here, but I think it's time for the CO to pay a visit to this one to confirm, thanks anyway Bushwalker53.

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.

Just couldn’t find it

Had a pretty thorough look but couldn’t find it

We didn't find it but it's dark so will try again

Too tricky for us today. Spent about 15 minutes searching but didn't come up with the goods. We thought the clue would help us but still nothing. Thanks for the hide anyway.

Rode from Stirling after the stage finish. Thanks for the hide.

Poked around without any luck.

Looked everywhere. Couldn't find

Looked all around, nothing :/

Nice find on way home from lunch at Bridgewater inn.

Lovely to see the old station being repurposed. All good. TFTC TNLN

Great spot the kids loved hunting for this one.

Heading up into Stirling to run some errands I decided to pick up a few caches along the way. Despite the cold, wet and fog a good time was had with all caches being found in good order.

After a long time searching for the cache, we couldn't find it and we are not sure if it is still there

Thank you for the cache

Had a bit of a search. Good clue helped in the end. TFTC

Visiting Aldgate (from Melbourne) for my Sister's 80th birthday. I visit every year or 2 and always check to see if a new cache is around and was pleased to find this new one was here to be found. Thanks for that.

After caching around the eastern suburbs yesterday, we decided to go a 'bit country' today - more our style. Loved the hills area, would like to spend more time around here. Thanks Bushwalker 53

Found by EET 27/4/19!! Dont overlook!!

Tftc well done olly

Found myself near this cache as I headed home after a day in the city so dropped in for a quick find …………………………………………… after …………………………………………….. an old local decided to give me the history of the rail line. When I mentioned my own interest in country rail lines in South Australia (particularly in the Murray Mallee) he looked at me as though I was his long lost brother and proceeded to give me his life history!!! When he moved on I found the prize!! Thanks Bushwalker53 for the adventure!!!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Been doing the monopoly series but this one had eluded me thus far. Was in the area today and decided to head out and make the find.
Parked nearby and wandered to GZ but as I have been finding all day the GPS is taking a long time to settle down. Wandered round in circles looking at every thing that looked like the hint. Then it settled and a cache was found. Log signed and cache replaced. Another in the series off the list.
Gratias pro cache Bushwalker53

??

It was an easy find fun to do with friends!

awesome hiding spot. i love this area near the train tracks. peaceful.

Having driven by this cache a while back when the local men's shed was in full swing I decided to make a little detour on the way home from the Adelaide 36ers home game. The GPS wanted me at a different place to where I eventually found the cache which was in hind sight the most obvious place to put one. Oh well I am in the book now and on have Bond Street (road) left to complete the series!

**Thanks Bushwalker53 for this cache. **

My 2nd Monopoly Series Cache for today was this one. I literally drove straight up to it and found it in the 1st place I looked... I am a fan of that, believe me [^] Reading the hint first has become a big habit of mine, memory allowing

The log was signed [amidst balls and a cross] at 10:27 on Sunday, 16 December, 2018

Found someone’s sacred balls

Quick find once we read the hint. TFTC

Gracias. Lo encontramos. No trackable.

Catching up on logging after a day out caching with my geomum, Doctor Owl, as I was in town, which means we just have to go caching. With no real plan for the day other than needing to do some maintenance, we wound our way through the hill until I did some calculations and realised I was only 5 caches away from my 600th cache so naturally the plan for the day developed into making sure I got my 600th cache.
We continued our drive to my/our third cache of the day and this one popped up on my map. "I didn't know there was a cache here. I didn't know Adelaide had a Monopoly series," I said. As I spend a lot of my time in Geelong for uni I am very well acquainted with the Monopoly Geelong series - although that series doesn't use the actual Monopoly places but it does have really adorable caches. Doctor Owl informed me that it is a new series all over Adelaide. I have visited this train station a number of times, largely due to my Year 12 research project where I looked into the factors that needed to be considered to extend the Belair railway line to Mt Barker to improve the community experience from the Adelaide Hills. This lead to me visiting all the train stations between Belair and Mt Barker. This, of course, is one of the old stations that is still in a good condition. A nice easy find. TFTC.

Dropped off some sacred balls ;D

Came up today to do some cache maintenance after a controlled burn destroyed the cache. Gz was empty and able to make a quick find.

Found eith KLCed on a sunny Saturday afternoon, TFTC

Tftc sunny day with anvic

It’s moved from position

Took a while, but Katie found it, well done Kate!

The pencil is missing from this one but still a couple of swaps inside

Here seeing a client & this cache was just down the road.
It seemed that near lunchtime was a good time to call in.
After a bit of deduction, I took a stab at gz & came up with a cache..
The only muggles nearby were two wood ducks minding their own business.
Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53

Little bit of a search but soon found it. No 50 for this newb TFTC

Quick find by torchlight on thee way home from a day in the city
TFTC Bushwalker53

After a nearby appointment Owl was in the mood for a cache. The Men's Shed was in full swing, so muggle deception tactic no 33 (my GPS is a phone) was employed and the cache was soon located.

Quick easy find with Beary Organised on wintry day. Hint spot on. TFTC TNLNSL

Found this with CherryRose while escaping from the bookwork this afternoon. Easy find. TFTC TNLNSL Picked up TB

Found on this visit. Found in the last place I visited. Lovely location.

very quick find, thanks

Looked in all the wrong spots and when found it couldn't believe how obvious it should have been.
No trains today.
Tftc

Found it

It took a long time to find it but found it anyway. Hard spot

Woohoo

This cache took us a little time to find. We identified GZ but didn't locate the cache. We widened the search area and soon found the cache about 5m from the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Bushwalker53 for the cache.

Epic fail you pwned us n00bs... Lost my mojo.

Having a great day caching with hevwalker and TT016 and the kids. Will have to come back soon to do the rest. Tftc

Caching with scramping on our way into the city. We stopped at this one which was located after a short search...
TFTC Bushwalker53

Found It!
A quick find here on a quiet Saturday morning. No trains were seen...

Another in the set. Slowly collecfing them all.
A quick find with the improved coords.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Another quick find in the big city. This was always a handy series to get - relatively cheap and people could afford the rent.. like real renting, people could pay every round of the board and you simply kept them poor by bleeding. [xx(]

Thanks to Bushwalker53 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Found while out cleaning up a few recently published traditionals.
Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53

Called past for a second time after a fruitless and muggled-out search yesterday. Went straight to it today! Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53!

Another nice cold wet day to go caching in between committee meetings and photo shoots!
With all the cloud cover sat lock was a bit dodgy. Searched everything that matched the clues,
and eventually came back to the easiest option. Who would've thought the Train Station was on Euston Rd!!!
Could have been a Community Chest, with the community shed nearby too! What's the Chance?
Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53

A quick find near home. A beaut spot with lots of rail history. Took Travel Bug, left Lego Piece. Cheers.

I didn't have anything on this morning and it looked like it was going to be a nice day so I decided I would go for a bit of a drive to find all the new Monopoly caches.
I hadn't driven through Aldgate for a long time and it was just lovely this morning. [^]
Parked the car and followed the GPSr which took a while to settle down and ended up wandering up and down the path for a while, before I found the cache in the last place I looked which really was the most obvious spot.
Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53.

Just dropping a travel bug off on my way past

Enjoyed a cuppa and cake at one of the local cafes. Looks like I got silver. Quick find. Thanks Bushwalker53.

A rare *FTF* for Mr Tardis today. I was on my lunch break in Aldgate running a errand. A quick search around GZ in a few likely places, and I found it thanks to the hint.

I've supplied the co-ords I found it at, about 8 metres away from the published co-ords.

Another one found in the Monopoly series.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53.
