DUH! Sturt, South Australia, Australia

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Will have a look at this one to see where it got off to

Yes this one is gone. Perhaps a replacement by the owner or arhive?

We agree with Zytheran. There is a hole where it looks like a cache used to be, but couldn't find it today. Disappointed we turned for home. Stanleys

Well D'oh!
MiniZyth2 reckons he found where it was and there sure looks like a large squarish hole in a round structure.

Found 10/2/06 by the Ferretters

Left: boxing kangaroo
Took: Miss Piggy doll

Calling Team Piggy! There's a personal gift for you in this cache.....

Area was fairly quiet on this lovely Sunday afternoon, so retrieved cache reasonably easily. Had to laugh at what Bonebabe wrote as a welcome to the cache, especially after smelling this damp, rancid cache. Didn't even look at the saturated log book, hope we signed the right one. Took the Wild Thornberry figure, left a lizard. Thanks for showing us your "you know what", Bonebabe.

Easy find, no-one around

There were a few resident muggles out in there gardens and you’d be sure when 2 vehicles pull up, one with interstate plates it might draw some attention but was pretty easy in the end. TFTH Nil swaps, too damp.

Easy find under the nose of a muggle who was mowing the lawn 3 houses down. TNLN TFTH

Found easily, after dodging muggles driving past!
2nd logbook is wet so we wrote in the first one, the cache was also inhabited by bugs!!!!

TNLN

Thanks

Found it no problems after logging Checkerboard.
Took Big Marker
Left Boomerang

Note to cache owner. The log book is soaking, not damp soaking.
It might need attention.

Thanks Bonebabe

Rocked up on the treadly, soon locate the cache. retrieved and went up the street (which one? DUH!) to log. Took nothing, left giant marker pen.
Thanks Bonebabe.
TeamSwampy(-AR)

Easy drive past. Thanks Bonebabe.

Third one of the afternoon.
Had to come back due to muggles out walking their dogs. Getting better at tying my shoelaces as a result

TNLNSL

Headed out on the bike today to check control points for the upcoming SARA 3 hour Minigaine, i had had a breif look for this one before but the bike adds an extra degree of accessability. TNLNSN, cheers.

This was the only cache we managed in Adelaide. Bit of a story here. We just arrived in Adelaide and were having lunch in a rather interesting park. One that was part of an old farm. Still had grape vines growing as well as all sorts of trees including fruit trees and natives, also duck ponds etc. I had no caches printed off for the Met area but I thought this is a likely place for a cache. I thought it would be great to log a find without co-ords or description so I'm looking in every likely spot. Finally I called my son and asked him to do a search on the co-ords of the park and apparently there is none there but he gave me this cache as the closest, so we went and got it.
If you are a local perhaps you could place one at the park. Can't remember the name but it's about 1.5 km in a North easterly direction from this cache, near the railway line.
Thanks Phelix. (No swaps)

Obvious where the cache is hidden once at the location.Police Patrol doing a couple of drive bys made it a bit difficult to look innocent.We managed .Left a plane .

After a quick break in muggle traffic the cache was found, logged and returned before you could say “wash your handsâ€.
Many thanks Bonebabe for the cache

This cache will have you driving around in circles
Ran into the second GeoCacher for the day. And of course he had the cache already in his hands when we arrived.

TeamGeo (bg60)

Just beat bg60 to this one. Great hide in such an open position. First time we've overlapped another cacher, they looked rather disappointed that we had the cache and their 'find' was ruined - sorry guys.

Second find for the afternoon, had to wait a bit until the coast was clear. TNLN

i liked this one. it was fun! a sort of hit and run.

took the 'babes box back to the car and had a rummage before returning it in a quiet moment.

we left a small pepper shaker and its matching silver tray

took a small lizard (got one from point riley too)

i'm sure the neighbors know what's going on. either that or they think it's a dope drop!


thanks bonebabe, see you at your next one.


vitesse team

Made a dash between prams and dog walkers.

TNLNSL

Thanks for the cache Bonebabe

We agree with Cached. Hopefully people walking by don't look that way. Easy find. Not too busy today. Left koala keyring and klem bear and took rabbit. Thanks Bonebabe.

I am amazed this is still here - its' barely hideable and barely hidden.

Took a bag, left a sewing repair kit.

My second attempt here, and this time I got it! A CITO clean up of the area allowed me to grab the cache snd then it was a wait for a quiet moment to replace it. I took an ant and left a spoon.

what a place for a cache...

took glue, left something (long day) Coins I think...

I can't believe that this one has lasted so long in its location.
No old lady around today but went for it and found the GZ after a bit of surveilance.
TNLNSL

Luckily we picked a quiet time but had to wait for a lady to finish sweeping her front path. Tried looking not too obvious, found easily. TNLNSL.
Thanks Bonebabe.

Busy place but easy find although it felt like neighbors were watching! TNLNSL. Cheers

We searched around and around for this one and persistence paid off. Took an elephant and left a bangle. Thanks.

The passing cars kept interupting my search but the final straw was the local lady who came out to put her garbage in the bin....three times!!!! Time to move on and return another day.

As we approached I couldn't understand why everyone kept mentioning the traffic on such quiet streets...Oh I see...Miss Adventure from Team Langy came in very useful for this cache (as she had several times during the day) as she was conviently blamed for having thrown something out of the car window. Cache found. TNLNSL, cheers.

#6 of another Langy & BaggyGreens Cache Adventure. MissAdventure accompanying.
I love accusing the kids of throwing something out the window & then castigating them loudly as we search for the item. People tend look the other way!
TNLN

An easy one, as long as you wait for the right moment to swoop.

Signed the log, took a paperclip, and left a plastic dinosaur.

More a drive around than a drive by, I circled the wagons and grabbed this one in a quiet spell. Wasn’t hard on a quiet Sat arvo. TNLN. Thanks for letting me grab your box Bonebabe I signed your log

Very hard to not be obvious. But pulled it off... We think

Ahh - nice easy find, and no one about this early on Boxing Day morning! Mind you, the clue didn't make any sense? Took Sequins, left Koala.
Found by ThomasS, MattS, BiancaS and SueS.

Second for the day.

Hard not to be caught out here.

Only 2 of us tried this one and I found it quite quickly but eldest daughter took some time to locate it.

Took the glass swan and left baby doll from Small Soldiers.

Found 17:30. Nice and simple this one. You can see this one a mile away . Bumped into fellow cacher "waterlogged". Took Kanga, left Rabbit.

Second attempt at this one.
Sent Jnr Parrothead out and she did a better job of finding it than me than my first attempt. I think it leapt out at her as she walked past.
It was a nightmare trying to find a break in traffic to put it back.
Grabbed the 2 TB’s in cache. TNLN

My first Cache, it was made easier by some other geocacher's showing up at the same time,and helping me through my first

Needed to drop off a couple of TBs so came by to do this one. Picked up some garbage and remove the small Koala who had wet itself in the container.

Finding this one was not the hard part. In fact, getting it out wasn’t too bad as there was a lull in the traffic, but replacing it required a bit more patience. There was a guy vacuuming his driveway after he had mowed his lawn. Eventually replaced it when his back was turned.

No exchange was made. Thanks for the cache, Bonebabe

Sid with B I L Darryl got this one no problems with traffic. Left nothing but took out assorted rubbish from surrounds.thanks Bonebabe

First of three caches this afternoon (other caches being: Checkerboard, Arkanoid).

Found 14/11/04 (14th November) @ 5:30pm by Paul (Team Stargazer). Spotted the cache easily enough but retrieving it was a bit of hit & miss affair ... how busy can a road get[?]
Thought my way was clear and my chance had come to grab the cache when this red Falcon pulls up out front of a very nearby house, pops the boot and then starts unloading it
... wait, wait for it, act casual, wait ... ah, there he goes inside the house ... finally, my chance ...go, go, go! ... GOT IT!!!!
Contents of the cache were wet and I dried them out as best I could and put the swap items into a new Ziploc bag to keep them dry.

Noticed there was a separate bag in the cache marked for Team Piggy only ...

Returning the cache was far easer though then getting it.

Took: Jel pen pack
Left: Young American yo-yo and a black ant

Also took TB: D U D E! with me to continue its journeys ...

Thanks Bonebabe

When I arrived a woman was watering her yard and I had to wait about 15 minutes for her to finish. Did a casual walk around area but it wasn’t obvious to me so wasn’t able to do a quick grab.
Given location I wasn’t prepared to stand around searching the garden bed.
Another day for this one.

Well, I don't quite know what to say about this one. We visited this site about a month ago and after searching for 15 minutes ultimately logged a DNF. At the time, there was smashed roadsigns as a car had clearly driven over the site itself, and the cache was no-where to be found. Not to be beaten, I returned today not only to find the accident had been cleaned up, and some gardening has also been done and low and behold, I found it in under 10 seconds! I can only presume the cache had been removed by a council cleaner-upperer type person who later realised what they had and kindly put it back. The cache was very wet as previously reported but the logbook survived so I've replaced the zip lock bags and dried the rest out.

Took: Super Glue
Left: TB The Dude

My GPSr decided that it had had enough at this stage, and started telling me that I was in the middle of the gulf! Nothing I did would get it to behave. Fortunately, I had plotted the caches I intended to visit on the street directory, so I had a fair idea about where to look. I found it at 1610 sans GPSr. I have to admit feeling a bit conspicuous at the cache site. Eleventh of sixteen Western Suburbs caches for the day.

IN: Glass bird
OUT: Penguin

Found by 4 Men and a Lady at 1115 on 12 October 2004

One of the hottest October Days in Adelaide's history.

We found fairly quickly despite some damage to this feature.

Perused and swapped in car so as to avoid heat and muggle motorists

Left Streamers
Took Key Ring

Many Thanks to Bonebabe

Took a long time to find this one, amazing since it was quite obvious when finally located. A few people around so had to resort to pretending to fix something on my bicycle (this trick frequently comes in handy!). Evidence of the car accident is still there, but no, it hasn’t affected the cache location. Contents of the cache were a bit wet and disturbingly slimy…. But the log book itself is dry. TNLNSL.

Found 11:55, despite the concerns expressed in the previous log the cache was found in essentially good condition just a little wet and slimy due to the water that had entered the cache container. Time for some maintenance.

TNLN, thanks Bonebabe.

Try though we did, we just simply couldn't locate this one. There has obviously been a vehicle incident here lately though and I wonder if perhaps the cache was injured?

Decided to go caching today south of the divide…well south of the Torrens River!

Pulled up to GZ just as a muggle on a corner property decided to mow the front lawn! No chance of here of being inconspicuous so we headed of to try some other caches with the plan to return.

Returned two hours later, around 4pm. The ‘lawn mowerer’ was finished and probably inside having a coldie. Sparky’s first attempt was woeful. Victor’s recon came up trumps. Extracted the Oven Mit and left a set of GEL pens. Thanks Bonebabe, Cheers, Rav 4 Raiders

Team Phrodo's second cache. Spent some time admiring the local avian population while waiting for a break between cars in which to retrieve the cache. Took cow keyring and left Stimpy bookmark.

At first couldn't believe that it was there, but found after many searches in between cars going by. TNLN.

Thanks Bonebabe

Found by Mary & David at 1245. Main problem was the occasional passing car and one pedestrian, but we soon had the area to ourselves for long enough. Took US coin, left Egyptian figure. Loved the pigeons on the corner. Thanks to Bonebabe.

Thought I would have a 2nd crack at this after hitting the new Staircases down at Hallet Cove. Easier find this time, partly due to the lower muggle presence and also some of the camo is coming off the container. Took a butterfly eraser and left some weird cartoon figurine I picked up somewhere. Thanks Bonebabe.

Our first cache! We were on the bikes with our two smallest ones. Thanks for the great excuse to be out and about with them:) Our nearly 3yo was quite excited to pick out an item..took a ball, left a penguin.

Thought the "Duh" might have stood for "Dove" - there were plenty sitting on the roof of a nearby aviary. Eventually resorted to the obvious and had the cache within seconds. Took rope watch and left a ball and packet of sequin hearts. Thanks Bonebabe!

Found @ 3:55pm
My second time here, This time the cache jumped out and nearly bit Lala on the leg.
Took Stickers and left Kangaroo & Koala
Thanks Bonebabe

as we got closer we wondered if it could really be in there... sure enough We took a Bob The Builder PEZ dispenser, and left a rope digital watch thingey.
Thanks.

Found at 20:30 on the way to pick up Em from the pictures. One of my unrequited high school loves lived on this street.
Took emu, left a fat cow (that's for you, Sarndra).
Thanks Bonebabe.

Found by Barry and Beryl with Rebecca and Nicole at 9.55 am
Found by Nicole the youngest member of our team as she looked less conspicious however the barking dogs did make things a bit awkward. Took TB Picturebook Left Australian key ring and Butterfly eraser. Left TB Happy Wanderer to continue his journey.
Thanks Bonebabe

Finally grabbed this one tonight, after many visits and "drive by's"! A great cache location, with a wonderful and varied stash of goodies. Thanks heaps BoneBabe!
Left : Golden Emu figurine, USB -> PS/2 Convertor, Tube of Super Glue.
Took : TB 'Happy Wanderer' (will take him over the state border in a few weeks), mini promo cd, old coin.

A late night trip to grab this one.
Had to drive around the suburb whilst waiting for the young lass in the car near the cache to finish "entertaining" her boyfriend or whatever she was doing!!

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
Late one night we drove past and grabed this one. As other times we stopped past the was always people around about the place. Placed TB140C Picturebook in this cache.
Thanks BoneBabe.

This took a little time to find as we knew it had to be here somewhere on this island. Once we found it, it was a matter of slipping out without too much attention from prying eyes. What would a couple of people be doing on here anyway? Took nothing and left nothing. Cheers.

decided to do this one in a round about fashion. left me going around iun circles trying to get closer than 2 metres to the DZ in the Karmic Love Wagon.

Had to walk the last 2 mtrs in the end. Left Bob the Builder and took Robin's breasts to perve on.

Nice little cache, We didnt go driving around in circles when on the hunt for GZ. straight in and grabbed the cache, a few people about today but we timed it right so we didnt get spotted.

Found easily and escaped off the island. Took phone and left cd. Thanks Bonebabe.

Found this one easy. Thanks it was a great day for getting a cache! In fact I got 15 today. Left a place mate thing and took a digital clock (handy) See Ya around till our next crossing

Got slightly dizzy doing this one. It was great to meet the C.A.S clan at GZ (well, 15m from GZ!). I was completing the log, looked up and Mr TimTam greeted me. The cache was passed over with a smile . I showed TimTam exactly where to replace it as I had to leave! I really like those new ones with the Tia Maria in them, perhaps a bottle of that in a C.A.S. cache please!! Took LED and left a LED/Compass/Whistle combo camping aid.
Clear skies, TeamAstro.

With MintSlice by my side, MilkyWay, Smarties and Freckle in the back we decided to find this one as soon as we could. We knew S&S had been in the area earlier. We soon found GZ and parked a safe distance away. Looking back behind me what do I see? A man holding something in his hand at GZ ... a gps!!! Caught Team Astro filling in the log back at their car (I didn't think this was a mobile cache ) Had good chat, took camping aid and left Astro stickers.

[This entry was edited by C.A.S. on Saturday, February 21, 2004 at 2:13:32 PM.]

Very quiet around GZ when we arrived, but we had the excuse ready if anyone did ask.....My mobile phone fell out of my pocket while I was running across the road. Took piggy, left little digital clock. Had been buy here earlier, 3 logs before ours today.
Thanks Bonebabe.

Bridesmaid again. Somebody beat us by a day. Not Astro though.

There is no easy way. The cars kept coming. The metal was playing. See it, get it, put it back, Duh.

Mike from Team Raider found this one at 2250 tonight!

I've been in your BOX Bonebabe A virgin no less

Easy cache in an easy to get to location!
unfortunately the muggle factor here is huge.
A guy bringing a friend home from work decided to stop outside and chat for 40 minutes before I could go get it in private.
Vehicles everywhere for what I thought would be a quiet location!

Took: GOOD MEDICINE geocaching badge
Left: Piggy Keyring!

Also removed GeoCoin to travel more

I tried this one earlier in the day than Team Raider, on the way home from work about 5:30pm. But just too many people around to have a decent look for it. Will have to go for a quiet time.
