Found it, log to follow

A challenging find. Great to find this old cache. FP from me. OCW Gavingo4. ?? TFTC Team Webguy

Wow. That was fun. Tunnelled myself into a few deep spots before finding the right one. Thanks for the great hide.

Lost too much light on this one.

Was meant to be a quick park and grab after work to keep the streak going; that’ll teach me to read the terrain ratings properly! Another time! ️

On a rainy day, we decided to do some caches and try our new gumboots. Initially looked in a slightly deeper cave but nothing found. Then looked around and found the correct cave and the cache. TFTC I love caves!

Great hide..love the location TFTC

Just trying to catch up logs from the past month, please accept my apologies for the delay.

In the area today with SueDan83 for our weekly Wednesday caching expedition. The Sutherland Shire is an area I really haven't spent a lot of time exploring up until now, so it has been great to discover lots of lovely new locations on our weekly trips.

Ha! Yes this was a bit of a challenge to get down to, especially for my short little legs lol. Got there in the end though, and if my memory serves me correctly we found a better route out. Typical! TFTC!

Ahem. The cache was in the wrong cave. I chose the one that fit the descritption to a T, made the find anyway, and I have the dirt to prove it.

Dan teamed up with The Crow for a day of bushwalking caches, although this was only a drive-by. The Crow flew into the first area that looked like he would get dirty. Dan, following the rule "slow and steady wins the race," found the correct hiding hole and didn't get dirty.
A nice hiding spot. TFTC Team Webguy

TFTC,
It's a big day today and a big day deserves a special activity to make sure it is a day to remember.
The problem at present is that we are under LGA COVID lockdown. We are so lucky that there are still plenty of caches in the Shire that we haven't attempted.
We could have selected a day long bushwalk into Heathcote National Park but given the BOM's EWN's warning that a storm was going to hit mid afternoon, we looked around and selected 2 caches at Barden Ridge by Rainbow Spirit and Team Webguy instead. They are almost drive to but have Terrain ratings that should be a bit special.
This was the second one and I still can't recall why I haven't made the trip over to get this given I did #4 (now archived) so early in my caching life.
Here today and as usual, from our parking location, I follow the GPS in the most direct way. Nana is beside me and I hear Oh................ where are you taking us, there must be another way. A bit further on and I listen to Nana and find another way to GZ.
Looking up from our location, Nana felt it would be in that cave. I said well yes of course it will be, after all it's a Team Webguy cache and when seeing photos of his caching exploits, the only thing you ever see is his feet on the outside of a cave.
We both moved up to the level where 2 people can get to and I made the final exploration. A bit dark in there and I asked for a torch. Well Nana had to almost climb over the top of me to get it into my hand and some people have said the cave was to small for them! The extra light helped and there were tools in there that I could use to recover the container. I passed it back to Nana and she completed the logging with our joint stamp before returning it to me. Not sure if I pushed it back as far as I found it but gave it a good go.
Recorded the special information and have no idea if I got any information from #4.
Love caving, adding a favourite and visited trackables.

Parked the car Wazza9 always take the most direct way to GZ, you would think by now I could fly. Anyway we took what looked like to easiest. Only to find a much easier way on the way out. Arrived nearby GZ looked around for where we thought the CO would hide a cache, yes next thing Wazza9 was asking for a torch, we soon had the container, stamped log and replaced left a trackable to go on another adventure. Thank you to Team Webguy for a nice walk in the bush.

In a neat little cave

TFTC. Quick find at GZ.

Good find. Especially coming back to it 8 years later

From June 1, travel restrictions are being eased in NSW. Cache on!

In light of the current travel restrictions and the requests by regional councils to stay away etc, I am disabling all my caches until the COVID-19 situation has passed and things return back to normal. Please respect this and do not go looking for these caches.

Found the entrance, fairly quickly. Made the scary climb in. Thank you for the cache!

Out with my Grumpy mate on a Shire expedition. I took the decoy and he made the right choice and came up with the goods.
SL TFTC

Another grumpy find on our overcast tour of the shire. Finding this was one thing. Getting our hands on it was another, but we did in the end and made sure the next expedition would face at least as much of a challenge. At the current rate of progress, I should have these aliens cornered in about 40 years. Thanks Team Webguy.

My second for the day and the first one i have done in the Alien Abduction series.
A beautiful summers day (i.e. not too hot and just enough drizzle to keep you cool while scrambling over rocks)
I think i checked out every decoy location in the area before finally finding the correct spot.
After signing the log and taking a photo of the clue as evidence of alien activity i just sat under cover for a while and listened to the bird chorus.
Thanks.
#312

Very difficult for someone like me who is a bit taller and wider than others. Got very dirty and put myself into some scary positions but got there in the end with a bit of improvisation. TFTC.

When I visited the SSFTFH series last week, I noticed some interesting caches in this area. So returned today to cycle-caching a few along the fire trails here.
- - -
8th find and a deceptively straightforward one ... in other words, far from it!
After exploring the 'decoy hide', re-re-re-read previous logs and deduced that, yep, that was a decoy location. But it also help narrow down to places to search and FINALLY, the right location. Having encountered a red-belly black earlier in the same terrain, was a bit spooked but ... in for a penny and all that ... so a bit more of getting down-and-dirty and CIH!!!
I'm now also intrigued and will track down the rest of these Aliens.
TFTC, and the adventure Team Webguy ... please accept another FP.

Got down and dirty
tftc

#1134
It was only 11km to here from #4, but my flying saucer is in for repair so I had to go the long way via road. Managed to pick up a solved puzzle along the way without losing too much time. I'm so close to these aliens I can almost smell them.

It was only a short scramble to the nest from where I parked. Quickly slipped in without knocking and collected more evidence just around the corner. This included a nice TB connected to a '67 Pontiac Firebird. If only I'd had access to that earlier I would have gotten here much more quickly.

TFTC Team Webguy

Found it.

woweee what a treck!

On a very windy morning I headed down the path and with only 40m to go I was soon at GZ. I think I came in from the right side because once I hopped over to the rock shelf I spotted what could be the potential hide, having reag many of the previous logs. Looked inside but it was dark, so I turned my torch on and there it was! Not as far in as I expected! Thanks A44!

Sat on the shelf and took in the view. Signed the log, posted this log then returned it. But much further in than I found it. Just as the CO requested! Good luck to the next seeker. You will get a bit dirty, but it's dry in there.

A fantastic hide in a fantastic bush setting. No sign of the trackable that was placed here in 2012! Dropped in a new TB and made some swaps. TFTC. #658

Flushed with success after find HowFAR I wanted to clear this cache as well. Hard way in, easy way out....yes I hear you say I examined the first likely place and I too had fallen into the trap, so looked further and found a rather awkward place and decided to investigate. My luck was in, there it was. With creaking bones I got the container to a place I could do business. Visited a trackable and returned the cache to its resting place. TFTC Team Webguy.

It was black from all the backburning earlier this month. I tried to find the GZ but couldn't figure out how the location according to my GPS worked out with the location of the cache after reading the logs. To be continued.

Well the alien must have brought his neighbor as i was looking in the crator next door. After i had got right up in there and saw nothing. Geodog wanted his turn at looking he found nothing either. We then moved to the next crator and down a bit further and hey presto! Will have to look up the others in this series. TFTC

TFTC. Awesome hiding place , Get your body right in there and reach for it

#3,447

We were on this area today to find a few more caches for the Sutherland Shire challenge, and saw this one pop up on the GPS screen. Perfect - a suburb I didn't have yet, and another cache in my very slow quest to find the alien base.

We parked incredibly close, and soon made our way down through the rocks. It was incredibly slippery today, and I managed to lose my footing at one point (damage partly to my pride, with a graze to a knuckle (ready to leave DNA evidence on the log ).

I tried a few spots with no luck, then saw a spot that looked very promising. But from where I was, I couldn't get directly there. I had to go back up a little, work my way around & get down on the other side. Once I was at the spot, I knew it had to be the hide, but getting in presented a small problem. I wasn't quite tall enough to make it directly, so I had to do a few interesting manoeuvres. Bikerbuddy was watching me from below, keeping a close eye on what I was up to. Not sure if that was concern for my safety, or just making sure he knew where to retrieve the car keys!

After I'd manoeuvred myself in as far as was comfortable, I could just reach the cache at full stretch. Glad someone taller hadn't put it back further!

A great cache, thanks

PS: I'd hoped to get the other alien cache down here, but had to leave it to our next trip down here.

Great cache. Finishing up for the day and dropped into this one as my last stop. Looking down I thought is it really down there? Looks a little difficult but was good fun, was in the second place I looked.

Reperio at 1205.

As I happened to be in the area today to pick up some furniture that the geowife bought online, I had a look on the GPS for interesting caches, and as soon as I saw this one...I made a bee-line for it. Parked nice a close, and soon found myself down at GZ with plenty of options around to hide a cache. As I got all the way down, I noticed a fantastic spot...and thought 'That's got Webguy written all over it'. Sure enough, after getting down and dirty, the cache was in hand. Collected the information needed and then it was back to the car to get out of the heat.

Gratias Team Webguy.

I never thought a cache so close to the road would be so difficult, but difficult for all the right reasons (no muggled cache or dodgy co-ordinates here). As always when offered with multiple possible hiding places I pick ALL the wrong ones first. Glad I rode the bike as the helmet comes in useful for spontaneous spelunking.

Well thought out and placed cache in great condition, with all clues intact. Hope to one day get out and do the others in this series. a favourite point from me. TFTC took a travel bug and placed one of my own

Great spot - shame I found another cave close by and spent ages checking it out before finding the right one - looking forward to more of this series

TFTC

So I decided that i want to do this cache series. It looks awesome. It might take awhile though...

Having already found one cache in the series today was the day to drive out to woronora and find this one.

We approached from the wrong angle at first but then I saw something and I new it was GZ. Sent geodad in as he loves a bit of cave action.

Thanks for the cache. How you find these spots I really don't know!

Webby, finally the 6th for me. Only taken about 4 years since #1. The hard part now will be to find the hints that I scribbled onto pieces of paper years ago. Hmmm that is a difficulty 5 task in itself. Hopefully I will find them all and then be able to search for the final. Thanks I enjoy your caches, I assume "seemyshells" has not found any of your terrain 4.5 caches before, blue mountains offers plenty of 4 or 4.5 caches. Left a bus travel bug from England. 8D

I decided to go for a trek today with a few friends to introduce them to geocaching. I chose this cache as it was nearby and promised to be a bit of a challenge. More so as my GPS had for some reason reverted to locking our position to the nearest road and would not show us getting nearer to GZ. Strange as this has not happened before on my GPS geocaching profile so I had to delve into the settings to find and disable the "lock to nearest road" option. After that we soon found GZ and located a likely hiding spot, now I am short and the area was wet from the recent rains so it was quite a challenge to negotiate the slippery terrain and it was a dirty job to reach into the hiding place, with my short arms, and retrieve the cache. I’m glad it’s not summer as I didn’t consider there may be nasties hiding in there. Once the cache was in hand, I noted the clues and left a D10 dice then returned it to its original location, deep inside. TNSL TFTC

I knew I shouldn't have worn my coat and tie to this one!

After deciding to do a few Caches this arvo, I didn't think I'd be caving ... TFTC. Terrain may be more a 4-4.5..

This was a challenge but very enjoyable to round off an hours caching in the viscinity. Great hidy hole. Had to think about my approach and be very careful. I love these kind of caches. A couple of rippers, back to back, sets me up for the day. Thanks Team Webguy A fav point from me + I don't recall seeing the Skater TB in there.

Need a torch!!! Good spot.

Need a torch. GOOD SPOT!!

I was surprised to see this so close to the nearest street. Quite unusual for a Team Webguy cache. However, it wasn't easy to get to GZ. Very careful navigation to the spot was needed and a fair bit of care needed to get the cache. Didn't need to look for the cache for long as a trademark hide presented itself upon the arrival of GZ. Great hide and nice views to the east. More pieces gathered to solve the mystery!!! TFTC!

A fun hunt Thanks - very glad to find this, I was starting to get worried. Cheers.

Over the last few weeks I had to work a bit of overtime, which is unusual for me. Always good to make it up with a day off - but what could I possibly do with a weekday off to myself? Gardening? Not likely. I think there was only ever one choice ....

So, off to Woronora for some kayaking. Got here early, which gave me some time to do some extra difficult caches. And I figured that this one would be more difficult than its rating indicated, after hitting a few Bad Man caches recently. Reading the description right through gave an interesting story, plus some good intelligence on where to look. Found it in the second place I investigated.

6 abductions to go

After almost giving up on this one and another huge rock climb I found the hidey hole. Safe to say thus was one of they most challenging ones with back burning going on across the gully. Thanks for this one a real challenge.

That left a couple of scratches

Not Found[Time to Find: 16 min]
1st day of my holidays and what a day to cache after all the bad weather.
No joy today

Another in the series complete. Clues taken and cache signed and rehidden a little better than how I found it. Was kind of looking forward to getting dirty as the description says, but didn't have to as the cache was easily spotted and retrieved with little issue! Definitely think the next person will have to get dirty!
As for the location, I don't know how you find these spots but once again, another great one but would say that it was one of the easier alien finds I've made in the series so far.
Thanks Webby. Looking forward to number 6 when I get up that way!

I probably approached this one from the wrong direction- by the waterboard property. When I noticed the signs I went straight to bush. With plenty of experience roughing it I made my way across to gz.
Now which "all the way back" nook is it. I found at least 5 others before I got the right one, destroying GIANT orb spider homes along the way.
Left by way of the much easier access to this site.
5/7 for this series. 1 more until I can find the new base.

Another warm day for caching. Approached via the pumping station. Not the easiest of ways. Didn't take long to get to GZ. Loved the location.

Another cache completed in this series.

Cheers for the hide.

Found on a hot summers afternoon.

Great spot just not the best idea to do a night find in things but now I have learned lol

This one was indeed a high-level effort, especially due to the high heat levels of 'the flatlands.' (It was even fairly warm back up in the Blue Mountains.)

I have to say that this logging would never have happened without the enthusiasm and extreme efforts of rogerw3!

Truly a worthy and challenging Webbie cache . . . and, happily, no geocachers were killed or injured during the making of the log. Thank goodness.

TNLNSL.

Many thanks, as always, to Team Webguy!

Found it today with pjmpjm in the heat and high humidity, took a while and had to check a couple likely places only to come up empty. In the end found GZ but had to get to the right level once there the retrieval was in fact quite simple and after making note of the clues the cache was returned to its hiding place, perhaps a bit further back than it was to start with!
Thanks for the cache and the location.

A quick find today whilst in the area. Lucky someone had left a trusty retrieval stick nearby making for an easy find. No TB in the cache though. TFTC.

Went out to hopefully find a lot of caches with Rainbow Spirit today 8/31/2012 this was our first on the list.

We parked a little to far away but walked to GZ after climbing around the rocks up and down, looking under we came across it. Thanks

Out with new chum cacher 2deka. We had two choices to pick from, and fortunately we chose the correct one straight up. A typical TW hide. Thanks for the fun we had here.

1740 - 1800 (GAFF0, as in, only had the name and coords in the GPS) Wish I'd had my phone with me so I could have 'phoned a friend'.
I did step on some leaves that were covering hole between rocks, and went right up to the groin. A bit of a surprise, and it took a bit to extricate myself. So, cacher BEWARE.
Probably did see were the cache lives, and should have brought my abseiling glove with me.
TFTC experience, I may be back.

#1316
After my Alfyboy Adventure up the road, I thought I'd have a tough time here as well. I pulled up and walked down towards GZ. As I came around, I spied a place dark and dreery and went to check it out. No mushrooms, but a cache was found. WHAT, so easy, no I must be dreaming! I SL, Took the TB to move and replace back even further in. Now reading the description, it was the right thing to do...hehe Thanx for another in the series TW, where will the next one take m? TFTC.

Found as part of attending the W R E C K event which was great event with a huge turn out even more so being winter. The few spots of rain and clouds soon disappeared for great paddling weather up to The Needles. The caches up and down the river provide good breaks from paddling. We soon got the hang of the multis and which ones had co-ords for the other ones. Thanks to Sky Dog for maintaining the caches before the event. It was certainly beneficial to cache as a group as more eyes the better although we did overload some of the landing spots and almost needed Harbour Patrol to direct traffic but it was all good fun.

Once back at the W R E C K start and waiting for a few paddlers to come in we ducked off to quickly complete the nearby Muddy's First cache where we collected a Travel Bug. We also took the opportunity to find talk to a few others for other good near by cache suggestions.

After leaving the event we got a nearby park to grab Woronora River Bridge. Certainly great views and after working out the camera locations we spotted the cache in between muggle breaks. After conquering our fears we had the cache in hand and completed the signing duties before re hiding.

Toxic Butt Syndrome was recommended to us at the event. We had a little trouble getting a start point but eventually found the right side street but missed going in on the most direct route at the end of the street which we found on the way out. It was a bit of a climb to GZ but worth the views. At our GZ we could not locate the cache but knew it had to be nearby some where so we expanded the search. We had the right idea on the hide and after traversing north with a few tricky turns and manoeuvres and found the cache and picked up a travel bug after signing the log. We noted down the clue for its sister mystery but did not think we could solve it on the spot so returned the cache to its hide and moved on.

Alien Abduction #5 The Point of Contact was next. We read we would get dirty but after some of the mud at the event we where dressed for this. Just as we where about to hop out of the car an other car pulled up with a kayak on top so we knew it was a cache mobile. We teamed up made the short distance down to GZ. The cache was in the right spot and nice and dry. With the signing complete we grabbed the code clues (looks like another series we will have to complete!) And made our way back up top. J + J.au were kind enough to give us some pointers to the other nearby cache we had ear marked which was next.

Armed with a few pointers we made the short distance into Woronora Wonder and saw the great view and where we had been before for Up The Creek. We carefully got to the right level and traversed Bella style to spot the cache. You certainly need to watch your footing and hand holds hear. We completed the signing duties and then began the trip home north.

We spotted a little run of caches on the way back which was The Garden of Eden, Henry Lawson Drive View, Along the Boardwalk and Numbers 1 and 2 which we all found and signed. The ones with nano's talking a little longer to grab.

Great hide. Very quick find in obvious spot. Took TB. TFTC.

Nice hide. Tftc

Found this one with MickLovin. I crawled into a different cave thinking it would be in there and when I came out there was a brown snake looking at me from a gap between rocks. I almost gave up out of fright but I'm glad I didn't as this cache was a very cool hide. Left a trackable. TFTC

Found with "The Neighbs". A bit of rock- hopping required to get to GZ. No snake spotted. The Neighbs dropped a TB here. TFTC

Our second visit here, this time with SESBLOCKER. Realized we werre in the wrong spot last time. Had cache in hand after 10 minutes. Left trackable.

Top Hide

Haha great hide

Found the likely spot for the cache. We approached the location with the torch and found 2 gleaming eyes staring back at us. It was a brown snake. Backed out and legged it back to the Geomobile. We will return again.

Great hide brought me back to my days when I used to go caving but not as tight and not as dark, but a great hide. Took the footy cards and left an Alien, a snail and a toucan (kinder surprise toy). TFTC Webguy

The last of the Alien Abduction caches before I head to the final. This one is classic Webguy, although the walk is relatively short. It didn't take too much scrambling until I was standing in an obvious location for this cache. In I went and retrieved the cache. I felt like I'd become a born-around cacher after making the find. Placed a Red vs Blue CD in the cache for someone with as warped a humour as mine. So log was signed and cache returned. Have all the clues, so off to find the final.

Took ages at midnight

took some time and entered the location numerous times obviously not venturing far enough but found it eventually, got a bit dirty but definitely worth it, thanks webguy

No log since such a long time, for this beautiful cache! Almost like a FTF! RTF - Resume To Find! Good, that was 7-8 months - if it's over a year, groundspeak should introduce special benefits for that!

again easy to jump down the rocks like a yellow footed.
Took me a few moments longer than the just done Woronora Wonder cache in the vicinity - maybe 10 mins to spot it. Hmm, how to reach it? Well, The Arkaroo has long arms - but not long enough - even from the other end. Not too difficult to find a tool - actually another cacher must have left it here, and there it was! Again, relaxing on a rock platform and enjoying the bush land - what can be better?

Just recovering from a long week of neutron beam time at the OPAL reactor in Lucas Heights. A collaboration with the Deakin University in Geelong - we looked to cooking steel to make it better and harder. Second cache today, still a bit tires - have two more in mind down at the river. That hill will wake me up, hopefully.

Marked the infos found for this #5 in the series ... not knowing yet where the others are....

oh yes: came here to get dirty - however managed to remain civilized although everything was still a bit humid and slippery from the past heavy rain.

The Arkaroo - who loves the mountains and the waters.

Travel Bugs visiting:

* Blue Desert Drive (TB3ZQ7E)

* Arkaroo's Treasure (TB38AN6)

Wanted a special one for 850! So here we are at another cliffline looking for a Webby cache!

Luckily this one did not involve a long walk but did have a tricky retrieval

TNLNSL. TFTC.!

I came all the way from the mountains today just to nab this cache and #4 in the series. I was surprised to see a lot of rubbish in this area. In fact, I took away a beach ball as a souvenir for my boys. Anyway, GZ was only a short stroll from the car and I soon recognised what I thought to be a Webguy hiding spot from above. I found my way down there and checked it out, and sure enough, I could see the cache. A little squirm and wriggle and it was mine.

So I have the clues for the first five caches in the series, now. Not sure when I'll be able to get to #6 - it's a distance off - but with only one to go before the mystery cache, I'll have to find time to make the effort. Thanks Webguy.

lucky i bought a helping hand with me for this one, great hiding spot TFTC

Dropped TB.

This was near a great Multi that Usat31, Skydog and I had just finished so I decided to grab this one while being watched over by today's team who have already visited #5.
I had a inkling from the cache notes that this was just around a corner but 'how in hell was I going to reach that!'
With the aid of a tool I managed to grab it. While signing the log Skydog flicked in a TB. I should have been quicker and put the cache back before the his deft flick so he would get dirty too.
I have since been informed this was a typical Webguy cache. Oh Oh!
Finished up a good days caching. Thanks Webguy.
(and grabbed a TB)

Very nice hide.
Lucky I've lost a few kilos lately otherwise I might really have struggled!

Tftc

Sent from my mobile device.

good find, well hidden

One of the best cache finds so far soo much fun

ventured up here by accident, definitely a good accident, tftc

Very cool spot. Left the retrieval to the longer-armed hoschke118.
Thanks heaps for the cache.

Found quit some evidence of alien nature around here. Makes me wonder about the rest of the series?
TFTC Wilbert67

Have been meaning to do this one on the way through for a few weeks now but hadn't got there. Was also worried about doing this in my work clothes but in the end that would have been ok.

Not too hard a challenge- enjoyed the scrambling and the cache wasn't too tricky.

It is good to find something though with a bit more of a challenge than most caches .

Grabbed the info needed for the series and left a couple of coins. TFTC!

I remember working my way through the first series of these alien caches and now I'm slowly doing the same with this series.
I was heading up to Sydney for work today and thought I'd grab a few caches along the way and this was my first for the day. My problem was, it was 6am and I had no torch. The best I could muster was the light off the face of the phone, which under the circumstances proved to be successful.
In a typical Webby hide I found the cache in the 3rd place I looked.
As always a good hide. TNLN Thanks

Well it was time to go Alien hunting again today had to sneak past a couple of big spider sentry and there webs.
I came across some wreckage this ship was a bit smaller then the last one searched maybe a Scott ship.
Upon crawling in the access way the light amplification tool showed me what I was looking for same cannot be
said about the spectrum analyzer forget to recharge its batteries the night before.The evidence of the little greys
ever being there had to be hand drawn,that will give the boys in the lab a good laugh.One word of warning through
my bare stomach came into contact with the ground and now I have red welts there..how strange...TFTC..Webby...

WIth permission from the better half granted to do at least one cache on the way home, this looked like a top spot to visit. My first challenge was to get around the huge spider on sentry duty on the path in. From there, not so bad. The cache soon became apparent, as did the realisation that trying to sign the log close to the cache location was less than comfortable.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache Webguy!
best wishes,
Wal

Found at 11:00am and made contact with more than aliens! Like others I also found two likely places where alien fog may emerge from. After overnight rain I was truly getting dirty. I asked Geo-wife to check some previous logs, and suggested that there may be some small 6 legged aliens guarding the entrance. That was enough to know I was at the wrong place and then back into where I had previously been. And there it was! I am glad that I have lost 5kgs, as I had to breathe in to reach the cache with my finger tips. Recorded alien writings.

Left TB-Catch Me If You Can – It leads to another cache which is NOT part of the Alien Abduction Series.

This was no where near challenging enough so I decided to do it in my good business clothes - including slippery soled shoes.
Anyway it turned up quickly once you have had experience with the webbed mind.
Nice one mate. Good to do one of yours again. Took photo, left memories.

So the quest continued. Today we'd descended from our mountain fastness in search of our fourth of this fine series, along with a few neighbouring caches which seemed of interest. Parking our shuttle at an access point midst this constellation of caches we set off along a banally ordinary suburban street towards the cache locale. Slipping unnoticed through a gap in the guard rail we found ourselves at a rocky escarpment area looking out o'er a bush clad slope with quite a number of hidey holes at various altitudes. Something which we found to be a common attribute shared by other nearby caches. However past experience with the owner's hiding methodology as well as a careful reading of the notes gave us some indication of the sort of hide we might be looking for here. We checked out one such site to no avail before locating the cache at the second. Very nice hide indeed and fret not – it is most definitely “all the way back and around to the left”. Picked up the requisite clues however made no swaps. Good cache – as expected!

Ak-doss, mi-hu jud-jiks la ag-fs-dik-juf. Gediobiediobieyayaya, frafragoo, kabooki, and Mamboo bars! Enough of that alien talk...
Anyway, we were heading out this morning to do a few caches (this one to start with) and gave Usat31 a quick call first to see what they were up to. Sadly, Mr Us had been alienated from his family and was all lonely out on his own, but coincidentally also about to go for this cache. Being the nice kind of alien he is, he waited a little while for us to turn up so we could claim a joint ftf victory (although it was Mr Us who found it). Admittedly, we were very tempted to head off to try for the lot in the series today but we just didn't have the time today.
This was a good hide and we're looking forward to the others.
TNLN, thanks,

Another of the 'easier to get to' in this series of caches but none the less a bugger of a thing to firstly find and then to retrieve, left the Geoboy at the top whilst this process was carried out, and eventually came up with another crafty hide, expertly rehidden by the caching friends of mine Usat31 and the Hancock Clan, another 2TF oh well it's all good, just glad to take them all in not to mention another great spot. Thanks for the cache Webby the legs are ripped to pieces now on rocks as well as this mornings efforts.........where will it end??

B.T.W. Took the coin

We saw this series of caches go live last night, but knew we had to get a few things done today, so doing the whole series today was out of the question!
However, a quick find on the closest to home cache was always on the cards.
Mr Us headed out by himself this morning & as he neared the Point of Contact, another new Alien to Australia - The Hancock Clan - contacted him & asked what he was up to! How weird was that?
Anyway, they were heading this way too, so Mr Us waited for them so we could hopefully claim a joint FTF. You have to be friendly to these Aliens you know!
After a brief search, the cache was located, and was being protected well by a large family of ants. Maybe the Green Aliens (not The Hancocks) disturbed them when they made contact here, as they weren't the friendliest of ants either.
Cache opened and Woohoo!!!! A joint *FTF* with The Hancock Clan.
We signed the log & extracted all of the required info from the cache for the final puzzle to be completed. The other caches will have to wait for Us to do that, but hopefully we will get through this series.
Thanks for a good cache Webguy - I hope everyone continues to replace the cache as intended.
Nook nothing, Dropped off a Coin.
Cheers.
