Description
The cache is not at the posted coordinates all though at dead low tide you can actually get to this location.
if your are scouting in PENGUIN make sure your playfair with eveyone else.
You will need to solve the following puzzle to find the caches true location.
QMGABDQACOFABZNGDQTQDZKHQSSZRPUANUQNGQWUSQOCVNVFUROVNTPBGNWUSQFDGPQUQGCQOQGNMEUBQNIMQSSZOCZBNUQNGQWUSQOVNTIVBPOQGNPAELZUNQTFBPDZGQ
The cache has a pencil, a logbook, and a stash note inside. It has room for some swaps but have not added any at time of publishing.
This area is regularly used by locals so stealth will be needed.
Becareful of the steep drop right behind GZ.

Logs
Solved this one fairly quickly but made quite a stuff up of the find at GZ.
There was an easy way to get up there but I went up a very steep dirt track to the west not realising there were steps on the other side!!!
Then I worked out where GZ was and poked around there for ages but all I uncovered was a green bottle [which I forgot to grab as I left].
So I expanded my search and spent ages poking around everywhere else before I went back to my original choice and then heard that lovely sound of wood on plastic.
Thanks DEZ055. P.S. I went back to the ute below the sensible way!!!

Another puzzle that was quickly solved and ready for a future search. We had not been to the top of the hill before so enjoyed the walk and the splendid view across Bass Strait. Then it was time to search. GPS was insistent that we should be in a specific area so the search began. It didn't take long for the sound of metal on plastic to be heard and Mrs y'stassie carefully extracted the cache container.
Thanks for the puzzle and cache Dez055 and for bringing us to this spot with its great views.

The puzzle didn't take long at all. Had 2 keywords selected and thankfully one was right.
Went in a circle before realising where the pcache was.
Accurated coords led to a quick find and a bonus ftf.
Lovely views from esst to west.
Many thanks DEZ055 for placing the cache which was thoroughly enjoyed....cheers ST.
