Bruce's Tree Kingswood, South Australia, Australia
By braybanks on 20-Aug-06. Waypoint GCXV7V

Dropped by here with Teamastro and it's definatly inactive. I think there is another good spot near by to hide a micro cache.

Will archive the cache until I can think of a better hide for it.

didn't realise it's gone until we were actually there and then read the log. Bummer.

Didn't realise it was disabled, but the inch ant that bit me didn't like me looking!!

Cache is gone. Will replace and re-activate as soon as I can.

Another CNF for the list. dodged several muggles and poked around with some sticks in the dense underbrush. Plenty of camo but no plastic detected.

Dnf - From seeing that ive been preceded by two other dnf's, I suspect that its gone walkabout.

-Please confirm whether its still there?-

-Bek-theraccoon

Had a good long look for this, but alas - a DNF.

Came here at night while Dan was playing volleyball. Couldn't find it with our one torch and limited time. We will return. TFTH

There are not many places to hide a cache here so you have done well and after dodging the muggles on their way to school I made the find.
Thanks.

Searched around the base of the tree for this one but with no success. Found a place in the bushes around the tree where it looks like the cache could have been but it looks to have been taken.

A quick stop on the way North. Lovely suburb. Thanks Braybanks for the cache.

A quick stop while in Adeliade for work.
Thanks

An easy find for geomum [^].
Took triceratops.

Thanks braybanks .

Just doing some gentle caches while here in Australia. Thanks. The Webbys.

Easy find. a few muggles around (4pm may not be the best time to go caching!) TNLNSL Thanks

Found during 24hr cac-hunting run, Accompanied with Varuna and Mrs Snapper!!!, Everlasting as our Driver, Found 120 caches out of 137 including 17 DNFs and the missing caches. Thanks for organizing the cache and hunt.

24hr cache-hunt run by snapper!!! and varuna. The cache was found quickly and signed (sticker), before heading back to where Everlasting (Driver) was waiting in her car, to drive onto the next cache. No swaps was made. This cache was one of our 120 finds. Thanks for the cache and the spot.

An easy find while waiting for the car to be serviced. No bees today.

Cheers from the flippers

It continues to amaze us what hidden little treasures we manage to find during geocaching! Thanks for sharing this beautiful little park with us. Our second find on a quick adventure on the way home from a Citizenship Award Ceremony for a friend at Carrick Hill. Quite an easy find with a lovely spot to sit and sign the log book. Thanks for the cache!

Nice little street corner park with a bench to relax on. Blink and you will miss it.

Took nothing.

Find number 65 of 70 on Stage Two (Adelaide and Surrounds) of my Melbourne to Katherine Relocation.

Nice an easy find if not for the muggles all up and about drive their children to school!

Find number 1278, Mr MadMyers and I found the cache fairly quickly before heading back to the car for Everlasting to drive us to the next one. Thanks for placing this cache which helped us find 189 today. Cheers The Nanks

One of our favourite roaming cachers is called Bruce - or Brucie to all of us. So this was cool to visit. Thanks for the cache.

Found the cache at 2.30pm. Nice park. SL. Thanks braybanks for organising the cache and hunt.

Not such a rare space I'm thinking. Adelaide seems to have hundreds of these tiny little parks. Most probably a bit bigger than this one though.
Anyway thanks for bringing us here and thoughtfully providing a seat on which to do the logs.

Lucky we weren't driving otherwise we would have missed this park (block?). Great tree though.
Thanks, Robmc.

It is great to see some of the great trees left in the suburbs. Thanks.

What a marked difference between my last log for this cache and this log. Last time, pouring rain. This time, it was probably already 34 degrees before 8.30 am.

TFTC.

Last time we had to give up due to an extreme downpour. Dry today though

Walked up from the nearby mall where I had a coffee. Easy find early in the morining and a great tree! Thaks for putting a cache here Braybanks.

It was starting to get warm so we appreciated a bit of shade from a big tree! Cheers Gav [1509]

Finally getting around to logging the record breaker Thanks!

Kiwi Cache Raid: #112 @ 12:30. A nice old tree. Many thanks braybanks.,,,,,,,,,

12:30 p.m. This cache was found on our record-breaking attempt to find the most caches in a 24 hours period; we ended up finding 195 all up.

Thanks to all the cachers who placed these interesting caches in Adelaide.

I only wish we could have spent more time appreciating the locations that we visited on our whistle stop tour.

The hide was fairly obvious.

A nice quick find - TFTC.

Nice micro park! A little bit exposed to passersby though...

It was good to see this cache reappear in my closest to home list, and I finally made it here to find it.

TNLN - Thanks braybanks!

Found it on the way to the library. Took nothing, left purple squishy lizard. TFTC!

This was a nice find under a lovely tree. T: hotwheels car L: Vicki from Little Britain (She was giving us evils)TFTC

An easy find and I knew the man when I was involved with Council. Bruce was always good value.

Great spot, stopped and had a cuppa
Took Owl and left bracelet

Ouch!

What can I say? It must have been the bees!

Ten months, and lots of caches, later and this was an easy find. Bike problems 'legitimised' my stopping here waiting for a muggle in his car to go away. Why does my bike keep needing attention when it can smell a cache?

Anyway TFTC.

Please note that there is no need to trample the vegetation to get this cache - the recovery since January is incredible.

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. Thanks for the cache.

#52 of 62 cache finds for day two in Adelaide in the company of dak’s Emu Mob.
We had no trouble locating this one, I was glad we did this one at night as I am allergic to bees and with all the talk off them here I was a little nervous.

#43 of 52 finds on my second day in Adelaide, in company with acts2youthgroup. We found this one at 2100. The cache is indeed there, because we found it under cover of darkness. Other than trackables, I made no exchange. Thanks to braybanks for the cache. Cheers, dak.

IN: Nothing
OUT: Bunya's Travel Slug Geocoin

Taking advice from Polky's quest who found it despite it being thought lost - I've enabled it again. Thanks for the update.

didn't read the notes but found it very easily!!! TFTC left slug TB

Sounds like it might be gone. Best to disable it for a while now to let the site recover a bit as it's been exceptionally popular - probably more than the site should be subjected to. I'll get there as soon as I can and assess its future (or maybe move the hide).

After several unsuccessful tries on this cache, even though I was at the correct GZ, I got the exact location from Zytheran, and did a further another search. Will Bruce be visiting his tree soon to see if the cache has been muggeld?
(The plants around the tree are showing significant impact from cacher activity.)

Found it with Fore! on holidays. Easy find although all the attention is ruining the foilage. Take care of the location on this one - no need to get into the bushes.

TNLN Fun

This was the 27th of 29 successful finds for caches in Adelaide that Shadow! and I (from the ACT) tackled over 4 days whilst visiting my family. What a great excuse to go caching in a new environment!

Found this one at 3:20pm on our last ditch effort to get some caches before returning to the ACT.

Nice little spot, although it is copping a hammering. Cachers to follow should please take care and not destroy the "bushes".

T - rat
L - 2 x dinosaurs

First for the day, cache was a bit wet from the rains last night, fortunately log still dry. TNLN TFTC

Only missed the last team by a couple of hours. diesl and I had tea first, then caching

Took nothing, left nothing, but thanks for the cache

My 15th and last find for the day (with 3 dnf's,2 archived 1 possibly muggled). Spotted easily once I got the torch from the vehicle .

Found by Glenn at 7.00pm

Took Geocoin.

Another cache hiding spot suffering from the drought.

just dropping off Geocoin.

A quiet find early in the morning on the bike. Grabbed the geocoin and left a geopin.

A'hh this is caching in style.
Even had the cache delivered to the car so I could log. The others were a bit concerned about me finding this on my crutches.

All the muggles were motorised today so it was a quick & easy find. TN, left Saving Shiloh geocoin. Thanks braybanks.

We read the story of both the man and the tree before grabbing the box. An easy find too. We were very pleased to see a council prepared to spend money on saving a grand old tree such as this one. No swaps. Thanks braybanks.

Tried some night caching yesterday, as I had to wait for the daughter to do a Christian Youth meeting. This was the only one I found, so I think I will stick to days! Though the others were a bit harder. Had to wait about 10 minutes for some muggles just up the road with the headlights on to go away before a fairly quick find. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Quick and easy find on a sunny afternoon.

A quick find, just had to wait for a muggle to finish collecting his mail. "Man! go inside and read your bills."

Find number 1!
With team ijk... (thanks for un-muggling me )

Took My 3 Kid's geocoin , teddy, left rat

Out to lunch. Surprising how many cars travel these streets. Found the cache quite visible. Took bracelet to place on Mushoo TB and left "My 3 Kids" Geocoin after picking it up in WA. Rehid cache with extra cam. TFTC

Found easy, and was logging when disturbed by a swarm of bees. Got up and moved, and was about to return when 2 near old ladies sat down within a metre of GZ! walked back to car, and sat and waited around the corner for 10 minutes before I could dash back and rehide cache. Got there in the end at least. TNLN TFTC

Found yesterday during Beaker's SA record attempt.

Number 40 of 75 for the day.

A quick find at night, the last and 43rd for the day.

Use to live just around the corner. Found OK but had leering local muggles checking me out really well.
TNLN........TFTC

Nice tree Bruce. Left origami swan, took coin.

A quick driveby, by the time I had found a pen Mrs Kggy was back in the car with the cache in hand TNLNSL and replaced in a jiffy. TFTC

What a privilege. I found Bruce's tree with Bruce!!! Watch out for the photo... hope skippy uploads it!

Dropping Bruce the travel bug at Bruce's Tree for Bruce of Liz and Bruce to pick up.

Got that Bruce!!

Still finding Nemo?

Thanks from Bruce for showing him Bruce's Tree. Enjoyed the experience especially in the company of shonky, skippy and freddo. Got to collect Bruce TB and keyring and left picture frame.

A nice find after work on a Monday. TNLNSL TFTC Cheers TBG

This was possibly the easiest for the day. Nice old tree bet it could tell a story or two..

T: Geocoin
L: Amusement Coin

Cute place - even with the GPS I managed to drive straight past it - I'm blaming the GPS as it's been goofy all day!!

Found 22:05. Just finished an emergency call-in, decided to drive home this way to pick up this cache. Far easier with no muggles around, left geocar running, quick find. Took: Resus mask (seemed fitting for tonight), Left: SAAB Coin, SL. TFTC.

Not calling this a DNF. Arrived at GZ at 08:05, just as every school kid started walking past, and then the neighbour started pruning his garden! Why would you prune at 08:05 in the morning, I wouldn't get up that early unless there was a chance for a FTF or at the very least a place in the medal count . So no search was conducted, will return when able.

A quick drive by for Featherwaite on the way to fill the car up with cheap fuel. Petrol down to $1.17, gas at a crippling 56.something. Voucher had $4.15 off the total. Detour would have come in at about the 3c mark. Bargain! Thanks for the cache braybanks.

Found this one on the way home from work. Such a lovely little park. It was dark and I did not stop for long.

Easyish find while trying to hold a baby at the same time. Great little, did I say little Park.

Was on the way to a conference w/ Team Langy when I decided we should make a quick detour. I assured him that this would be a quick find. As we approached GZ (without the GPS) I said "Oh there it is." To which Langy replied with something that rhymes w/ "Fire Truck" - This was because the cache was lying on top of the bushes out in VERY plain view. It was though a magical cacher had vanished right as we appeared and dropped the container nearly on the manicured lawn. Proud to report that it seemed as though everything was in place and that the cache was re-hidden in the obvious spot. TNLNSL

A quick find. Sat on the seat to sign the log. TNLNSL. Thanks Braybanks.

Parks don’t get much smaller than this! Took a patch and left an emergency resus mask. Cheers

A quick find on my way to Hallett Cove
Took Kangaroo and left Kangaroo
(979)
Thanks braybanks

A nice quick find in a cute little park. Read the plaque and discovered a person we know has his name on it (the CEO)- was bestman in Mrs Klem's brother's wedding back in 1972. Adelaide is a small place! Left magnetic photo frame and a klem bear and took a compass. Thanks braybanks.

At 14.20 hours I met Mr Team Unicycle here. We sat signing the book and swapping geocache notes. See you again sometime. Took - Nothing. Left - Mini compass. TFTC

Found at 14:15. The rest of the team were off doing their own thing, which gave me a couple of hours caching time (or renovations - easy choice). Sat on the seat to sign the book, and a car pulled up. They were obviously cachers, and I must have looked like a cacher to them as Unka Dave came stright over. Sat and talked to Unka Dave for a few minutes, waved to Aunty Dave in the car. I will look forward to your train themed caches Dave.
Parks don't come much smaller than this (except car parks). Did the right thing and read the plaque about Bruce. No swap.

A short walk from my house.

Took stretchy frog, left LED torch.

Logically if it is Bruce's tree I should find Bruce or an octopus bucket. Neither this time.
