Found this little fella sitting there drinking coffee at 1130pm and not knowing it was archived at the time we had a good look around so it felt good to grab after so many tries and so many muggles sitting here drinking coffee
CRAZY is what any attempt on this cache this morning would have been. Diners outside, just above GZ. Caching could well have become a spectator sport. Not today my friends!!
Nice kid's cache! Since we didn't have a kid, i got dirty instead. I still dont get the movie ref, but hey, we are only 23...
A relatively quick find with sunny bunny. Unfortunately we did start the hunt on the opposite side. TFTC Peskette
Found on second attempt tonight, with only the occasional "Big Day Out" attendee walking around. There were too many muggles sitting in the cafe when I had tried earlier today. TFTC
Tricky one to find it did not take to long but it was quite hard it was a good cache and I enjoyed it
Found the kids about 5:30pm today. My 4 yo son was small enough to disappear and come back BEAMING with the cache in hand. TFTC
A quick break from the Byways of Burnside to pick this one up. The peak hour traffic was a challenge, as was the smoker outside the restaurant on the verandah, but EsromL had to fix up his shoe and cache quickly retried and replaced. TFTC
#4 in a Monday arvo adventure. This one involved tying ones shoelace numerous times as the lights changed and people strolled and cycled past with curious eyes.

Thank goodness for shoe laces. I think that I've tied them 4 or 5 times while caching today. TFTC
Cache raid No.30
Night time again,so it wasn't too bad.I took a pretty good guess.I just had to time the traffic.

Our 5th cache - a good one too. I needed a little help from Mum. The movie clue was a big help. TFTC
Found quickly - the seventh of twenty nine for the day on my second caching outing in SA. TFTC
Easy find in peak hour.. love muggles who r more focused on their laté then the world around them. Tftc
with the GPS pointing in all directions on this cloudy day, it took a while to find, this sneaky cache.
good hunt anyway and understood the hint only when the cache was in our hands.

Came passed here earlier in the day, but there were a few muggles around and a very curious black lab! ...but on the way home saw that it was now closed - making for an easy find, one quick swoop and then a grab. Thanks [^]
July School Holiday Fun - Day 2: Four in our team today CM1 (friend), CM2 (me), CM3 (geocousin), CM4 (geokid)
Found 15 out of the 18 we visited - we are now batting over 300
A total team effort this one... CM1 (the movie buff and navigator extrodinaire); CM1 (the "likely spot" finder), CM3 (the scout) and CM4 (the retriever)
Great coffee too [:X]

My notes say this one was a good one to find at night. Can understand during the day this would be a crazy place full of suits drinking their half soy latte's.
Nice quick find to keep the mojo flowing.

I love these "high stealth" caches. It was peak hour when I hit GZ and there were customers on partaking in the offerings of the adjacent venue... So no shortage of muggles... Fortunately, this one is a very east grab, even with the odds against you... [^]
I took a seat in a very convenient spot and extracted the container without any form of twisting or contortion... Nice... Replacement was even easier and after a quick shoelace review, I stood up and wanderred off... Everyone around me was non the wiser... Love it...
Cheers Freddo.

Like the "link" to the cache name for the cache location - cute. Found quickly enough.
I did like this one!!
So did my Cub!
He spotted it and with great relish, retrieved it for us to sign!

Bike caching with mates Chris & Glenn
We like riding now and again
Easy clue, easy find
"Bike tyre" turns muggles blind
Today's fifth - we're aiming for ten

Had heard that there was something in this area but had never had the time to stop! Now we know why the log book was empty! TFreplacing it
After solving the clue and checking with a previous finder I decided to ask for help at the recent American Pi Day Pub Lunch. WD thought that it might be suffering from a little cache creep so I returned with a torch to try the brute force approach. No luck, I fear the cache is gone.
Armed with the answer to the clue (It's not 39 Steps is it?) and an explicit description from a previous finder I went back to try my luck again. I suspect a diner needed an after-dinner mint and made off with the tin.
Out muggled here today. Will have to try the shoelace trick next time I'm wearing shoes.
Found the cache while out and about with Team Waldron.
A love this sort of cache.
Thanks for the cache.

I'd just done some shonky work while gadding about and gave this one a try.
I knew where this one would be when I drove past a few months ago but I never get out this side of town.
A quick find this morning.

Found after the Paint it black event cache and luckily nobody within sight of GZ today. Nice easy find. TFTC.
Found after the Paint It Black Event. Quick grab and then on to the next. (and umm I was in muggle clothing now, so as not to stand out!)
Out on a night mission with Seapig, we stealthily rocked up with headtorches a blazing. Quick spot and retrieval, signed log on last page - so log book will need replacing very soon. TFTC

The Gangsters (The Rats, Big Matt & Shell, Farmer Frentzen and Steeba) found this cache as part of our record breaking run around Adelaide. Who says you cant cache within 3' of muggles without them seeing you. Thanks for being part of the hunt.

Found this cache with FarmerFrentzen, The Rats and Steeba on our Adelaide invasion trip. This is find number 22 on the Australasian record attempt.
Thanks Alfreddo for the cache.

Found on an extended walk from university,
I was about to give up, just too many people around, but then I noticed something that I would have used as a clue, then I noticed a rather nice earring on top of that, and then i noticed a cache beneith it

Skippy told me it wouldn't be PG's Urban Caching Blitz without finding this one ! What he didn't know was that PG was born here in 1966 - it just happened to be cache find # 66 - that's spooky ! TFTC
2:40 pm We were going to go to the Botanical Gardens, however the skies opened up and we decided to head Hanhdorf-ways. But when a cache came up so close. . .and was so close to coffee. . .how could we resist? And with a warm place to drink my coffee and a dry spot for the netbook, how could I resist not logging it straight away?
Thank you for the cache!
Thank you for the cache!
Thought it was there when driving up to the cache... just a matter of pinpointing it... avoided the diners inside with my stealth
Lucky I got here after midnight because it took me 20 minutes to find this one. The GPSr was not behaving because as soon as I got close to the building I became 35-40 metres from the cache after being 15 metres from it.
I checked up, down and around with no success then I read a few of the logs and tried to recreate their finds and eventually found it.
I can now see why this one would be very hard during business hours. TFTC
Day 232 of non-stop caching. TFTC

After the second visit with the much needed help of the 5Grains geo kids and talking on the GPS like a mobile as a diversion as the muggles walked past eventually found it just before giving up. Helps when the cafe is closed..... TFTC SL
I think that the difficulty for this one needs to be bumped up a bit. Helps when the cafe is closed for the day & there are enough geokids to trip over & search while they are down on the ground.

Watchers of the cache please note the place is closed until 6 January 2009.

We decided to break on our crazy afternoon of caching for lunch, and came over from Burnside (yes I know, it's so far!) to the KFC that, according to the GPS, is just around the corner. Oh well, seeing as we're here, let's do some crazy urban caching! It took lots of tying up shoelace and let's-sit-and-observe-the-traffic scenarios before we could find the cache, before signing the log safely around the corner, then tying up another loose shoelace to put it back. TFTC. Very daring.
Found with JadedOptimist08

This cache was found as part of my City and surrounding suburbs invasion. Thanks to all who placed caches allowing me find nearly 200 caches in 7 days.
Found with Bek-Theraccoon and Stretch 19. Got some funny looks from those inside, bet they were wondering how many times I needed to tie my shoes! Took squidgy frog, left goofy dog. TFTC!
Found pretty easily with Racing Stripes and Stretch19
Got a funny look from a guy inside though.. spose it was the christmas shirt I was wearing??
TNLN, TFTC (I hope the next person can get the log out with the dog trinket racingstripes left in there!)

A nice quick find before the rain came back down again. The good thing about a wet day, is that you can come here at lunch time, tie the shoe laces, and leave again

#375 A realively quick find in the later afternoon before the nearby cache event. TNLNSL TFTC!
It was one of those days. Vegetables - forgot the cook book (reading the logs first would have also helped I think) , Bethlehem - locked , Come watch channel 10 - also found the telltale signs [xx(][:(!], Crazy Urban - remembered the Scene but couldn't get there - there was someone sitting on the cache having breakfast , Scouting About - Yay! TN L Mover and Shaker TB, TFTC , Nano - Ohno! Muggle central AGAIN , 10 Minutes - Muggles that won't move make me mad. Wish they'd get one of these art works up them! [:(!] Come to log and its now offline , Dice Another Day - Another day is right, I'll never get all these things out of my hair , Live and Let Dice - The gods are agin me today. Enough Monk raking - can't we all be friends? , Eye-Key-Ah - Finally! Just about to give up TNLN TFTC, LTC:Q3 TNLN TFTC , Purple #2 Why does everyone want to sit where I'm sitting? . I'm going home now.
Hooray!!! Make it... Found the cache at 3.45pm. No muggles at this time... Phew!!! SL. Thanks Alfreddo for organising the cache and hunt.
Found with FatAnton and Chase That Rainbow on a day out cyclocaching. Could see exactly where it was going to be, and wasted no time retrieving the cache.
Find number 1159. A nice quick find thanks. Mr MadMyers and I managed 189 caches today while on holidays with the family ( fast asleep ) from Queensland. Cheers THENANKS.
Another find on a very long adventure run for MrMad and MrTheNanks. Over here on holidays and what beter way to have fun than to go geocaching! Two Mad Queenslanders out finding some caches at all hours of the night and day. TFTC TNLNSL
Nice clue made a quick find. It took us longer to sign the log than to find and replace.
Thanks, Robmc.
Thanks, Robmc.
Found quickly and no muggles due to the late hour. I wish Calumphing four had mentioned the coffee while we were there. For once Robmc would have been outvoted.
Anyway thanks again
Anyway thanks again
This cache has been on the agenda for ages, but it has never been the right time to retrieve with the venue usually well patronised. This morning even the blinds were drawn, allowing for a quick grab, sign and return. Thanks Alfresco Freddo.
Eighth of 13 for the the evening caching with Robmc and Chewinpickles from Victoria.
Rembered the movie just in time (its been many years since I've watched it), so it was a quick grab whilst the area was very quiet. A coffee would have gone down a treat about now.
Both nephews were served here many years ago. I had to use stealth then, as youngsters weren't encouraged to visit newborns, even though I was their Uncle.

First find for 2008! Was pretty quiet - don't know if it was the forecast for 40 degree heat or the public holiday. Thanks for the cache.
