Babel Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

AussiePam: Sadly, I need to archive this hide. Its location on a public wharf where crowds of people come to cast a fishing line, I had thought, was its own camouflage. So much going on that a reasonably discreet searcher could easily get their hands on a small geocache.

However it seems that the "so much going on" may have included some activities of a much more nefariously fishy nature - warranting police presence. The mind boggles a bit: a spy dead-drop - if those still exist?; a pharmaceuticals vending point?; an anarchist outpost - in genteel Mosman!?; a people-smuggling landing point?; a pedophile ring?; a toxic waste dump?; or just people not doing the right thing when they catch undersize or otherwise protected denizens of the deep?

Perhaps we shall never know. I'd have stared this all down. It adds to the street cred of a hide. BUT - the cache has vanished once again. This time, perhaps impounded - as Exhibit A - by the Officers of the Law.

Babel will be reborn - in a safer, if less arresting, spot.

Geocache Description:


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Douglas Adams

Don't Panic!

This is a very simple and straightforward cache. You are absolutely NOT being asked to find the answer to the ultimate questions of life, the universe and where to get the best coffee.

Soak up the sunshine and salt air and look at the boats. This will calm the mind. You will note that they are floating on the water in much the same way that lead balloons don't. You might even be lucky enough to spot a whale. However, it's infinitely improbable that it will ever have any kind of interaction with a bowl of petunias.

.................................

But enough babble - you're here for the cache! Watch out for Vogongs and Muggles. It's a busy area and ultra discretion is needed, please.
Space might be big, really big, but this cache isn't - though after, mugglement, the original nano has been replaced by a micro.
Look for a tastefully camo'd magnetic mint tin about half a metre from the earlier placement.

Ignore all that... by some celestial tomfoolery, the original nano is back, in its original postition, and the replacement tastefully camo'd magnetic mint tin seems to have promptly vanished in a puff of logic!
