Description
Cache has been placed to boost hides prior to "Battleships" game commencing
This series of caches has been placed for the upcoming midyear game "Battleships" (It would be to your advantage to wait until 1 June to find this cache if you want to be part of the midyear games)
Game Period: 01-Jun-2021 00:00:00 to 31-Jul-2021 23:59:59 AEST
Play Battleships. Sink the enemy ships before they sink you!
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing area with a number of sea tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 sea tiles making a total number of 400 possible areas you can target in your game of Battleships.
A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force. For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a sea tile and see whether you have make a hit.
There are a number of different sea tiles that will be revealed when you take a shot at your playing area . It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
You only receive points for a hit on a ship. Alas, shots that miss a target offer no reward.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides. A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
- The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
- The geocache was hidden and published prior to the game commencing
- The geocache was logged on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
- The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
- The geocache is not owned by you
- The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
- Burke and Wills
- Traditional
- TrigPoint
- Augmented Reality
- Beacon
- Gadget
- GeoArt
- Multi-cache
- Night Cache
- Podcache
- Reverse
- Unknown or Mystery
Cache is placed in the Gordons Hill Nature Recreation Area, dogs allowed on lead.
Please watch out for muggles as they can appear from nowhere, bring your own pen and rehide as found.
Suggested parking: S42 51.654 E147 21.563 behind Rose Bay High Cnr Cornwall Street and Kaoota Road or S42 51.678 E147 21.806 behind City View Motel
I hope you enjoy the series.
All hides will have you 'thinking outside the box'. The cache is not the usual box.

An excellent Geoart series that we enjoyed finding.
The variety of hides kept us guessing and we weren't disappointed.
Many thanks whitewebbs for placing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience today.
We highly recommend this series and appreciate the time and effort gone into creating the variety of hides
Just when I thought I had come to grips with these hides, this one stumped me...just couldn't lay eyes on it and not through lack of trying.
Not wanting to leave unfound I did resort to paf...omg...there it is...in my defence it was covered a bit
Another exc hide....thoroughly enjoyed the cache and ...all in top nick.
Many tftc...much appreciated...cheers ST.
Thanks for another beautifully crafted hide Whitewebbs. We look forward to finishing this series tomorrow.
What an impressive series, I totally loved it. Thanks to you both.
Today they were the last caches of the day but we had planned it this way and we were here well before it was getting dark unlike last week where we were still caching down passed Huonville in the dark.
So it was far more civerlised finding very well made different caches in a dry and light enviroment.
Thank you to the COs for all the hard work that has gone into these.
Thanks for a really enjoyable series
The variety of caches was impressive
All were found quickly, with only two making me search just a little longer - but not too much longer than the others
Saw a few roo as I went from one cache to the next
Only three muggles seen all day
I expended 1018 calories; taking 4673 steps to cover the 3.53km walked
A quick find here: Sainted at 1246 hours
Thought this was a great hide
TFTC, TFTS
Thanks for the fun and the exercise
Cheers OldSaint
All the caches in this series were very clever and tricky to find in the night

Lil Rafa and I spent a bit of time trying to this one.
As Lil Rafa was talking to you asking for a hint I spotted the clever hide.
It was nice to get a *FTF* on this one
