What a fun idea for a multi. I figured out where i needed to go with the hint and then i walked around in circles for ages until i reached out for help. Seems like i read the map wrong and was on the wrong side of the track. Once i was on the right side i was very happy to spot the cache within a few minutes. Thanks 2secretseekers for all the fun

Not so easy to find, but it is there.

Thanks, had to step back to realise its not what you think it is.

After finishing work in the neighbourhood I head to grab this cache. At placement I gather the information to find GZ. The cache was found not in good condition. Log was not in good shape. But I didnt have anything to replace it.2secretseekers thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.

I came back for another look for this one today. The bush has changed a lot since the photograph was taken and without coordinates there was a large area to search. In the end I spent about 40min searching, reading logs and walking around in circles. Finally I noticed something a little odd, and finally I had found the large cache. I had a moment wondering how on earth I could have missed it, but actually the hide is really quite good and I don’t think anyone would notice it here without really looking for it.
If the cache survives the current burning off in the area, it would be nice to replace the container and log as they are both in need of attention.
 
13-Apr-23
What fun! We found the treasure, a worthy challenge for the family, and a great story too. Treasure chest has seen better days unfortunately but still a great hide!
 
13-Apr-23
The ol’ plastic container has a cracked lid and has water inside, sodden log papers. Want help replacing it?
 
14-Feb-23
I was in the right location and I couldn’t even find a bush like the photograph. Maybe it’s still here somewhere but I can’t find it.
 
01-Feb-23
TFTC. Took a bit of searching but found it in the end.
Looks like a bit of water has got in!

Beautiful day out. Thanks for the cache

Very fun with a nice little walk. The views of the city were lovely and we saw some cool birds too.

Mr CuriousQuest needed to find a multi today for a challenge that he is working on. This was a fun multi. TFTC

Out today finding a few caches with Selva Girls. It was a lovely day. Nice little fun multi Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC.

This evening, I headed up to Green Hill Reservoir to chase a few geocache types. I wasn't sure what to expect here, but I was rather surprised by the nice murals along the reservoir, and terrific views of the city and surrounds!

It was only upon my arrival at the posted coordinates at the reservoir, that I realised I didn't actually need to visit here after all, as there was nothing to be found there, and the numbers were contained within the hint. Nevertheless, it was nice to check out the murals, and there were a few dogwalkers about. I completed the numerology method, and soon had the makeshift map in front of me, trying to match its features with what was around me. With sufficient information to deduce GZ, I returned back to my car and made a short drive.

After parking near the *Rocks of Warning*, I made a jog towards GZ, passing by other features. When I thought I had arrived close to GZ, I started to search around, and I think I must have just gotten lucky, as I found the cache within a few minutes of searching in the dark. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks 2secretseekers for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. I did enjoy this different type of multi-cache experience.

An attempt on this one this humid afternoon.
After doing a big circle I spotted the cache from uphill.

Thank you for hiding this geocache and keeping me entertained 2secretseekers

This a different and fun style of multi. Not having exact coords hubby and I walked around a bit then I decided not to worry about it. We had a mountain to climb. On the way back which took considerably less time than the way up I decided to have one more look. Hubby went more that way, me this way. Was about to say not to worry about it (I don’t won’t to put him off caching forever) when I spied something worthy of a good look and yippee there it was. TFTC 2secretseekers.
 
05-Sep-20
Found easily once we read that the OTV sign was missing and the numbers needed were in the hint. The hand drawn map is spot on. It's not far from the track but luckily no-one walked by when we were there. The chest has fallen apart and not so well covered now by the bush. There was a soggy little plastic bag and no other place to sign, so left a few sheets of paper in a plastic bag and a new pen. Tftc.
 
30-Jul-20
I started this some weeks so it’s great to finally get the cache. It was fairly straightforward, although I did wander around in the bush for a while wondering if I’d got it right! TFTC
 
21-Mar-20
I took a look at this multi recently and visited the posted co-ords.

From there, I came home and had a good look at the maps to find the right spot. I picked an area to target at a later day.

This being the day, I made my way to my proposed gz and slowly wandered around. I did a couple of laps, and on my second pass was drawn to a particular spot. Thank goodness I followed my cache-sense as I was thrilled to have found the cache. A little happy dance then happened.

I was unable to sign the log inside the cache, everything was soaked. I did sign my name on a leave and left it in the cache, replaced the cache into its hidey hole and covered it a little better. Might be time for some maintenance on this as the exterior part of the cache is falling apart, and the cache itself is cracked at the bottom.

Great idea for a multi, I loved it, a fav from me.
 
18-Dec-19
The OTV sign is pulled down and the number missing
 
14-Jul-19
Found this cache already so why did we not get clues for Mystery at the Museum??
 
07-Jun-19
Took a wander along the tracks, and after a little poking here and there, the big box was spotted. Cool contents, though sadly the logbook was missing, so I did what others had done and signed a scrap of paper.

Log signed at 15:28 and cache returned as found. Thanks for the smilie **2secretseekers**. This log is trackable.

Found it on our third go (the first two times we went late in the afternoon and it was too dark)
 
25-Apr-19
Interesting multi. Read the hint first!!! Saves going from
Possible location to another possible location! Once on track we had a quick easy find! Tftc
 
25-Apr-19
Was in the area mutt watching and collecting a cache, decided to look at the two multis on offer. With what was though was the correct combination, Gcoven and I went bush bashing. After searching what we thought was the right spot, then a rough search of every other spot, re-read the description and hint . . .

With the correct spot targeted, we split up and the cache was quickly spotted once leaving the path. Great to get some collateral damage while in the area. Thanks for maintaining this multi 2secretseekers.

Having driven out this way to turn the nearby Coot-tha Butterfly Hut from green to yellow, I was surprised to notice on my way back home that this one wasn't yet a smiley on my map. I've found it at least a couple of times before; I guess I must have just forgotten to log it!

To make amends, I parked at the trail head rather than back at the posted coordinates, and quickly ran down to find the container in very good condition. The log is not faring so well, and if I'd known I'd be down here today I'd have brought along a fresh one. (If you're passing by, do this one a favour and bring some paper in a zip-lock bag!) Managed to scrawl my name nevertheless. Thanks for the fun treasure hunt and cache, 2secretseekers.
 
21-Jul-18
Slowly trying to increase my number of multi finds for some challenges. This one looked fairly simple, but I did a bit of extra walking trying to spot the final. The log has seen better days, but my replacements had completely run out so I could not help. TFTC!
 
01-Jul-18
Found it took about 15mins to find with Geodog

Four days of geocaching all over Brisbane, mostly because I looked for nice natural places.

Well made cache, there are other ways to show the final than "simply" calculate the coordinates. The start could be changed a bit though, so that the solution does not need to appear in the hint.

Thank you for the cache!

I was on the opposite side of the world already and could not resist a short hop from New Zealand to Australia. In a week I visited Coolangatta and surroundings, Byron Bay, some other parts of Gold Coast, but most of the time was spent in Brisbane.

Out with MinnieMoo for a couple of hours and this one hit our radar for a bit of adventure before she had to leave me. We went to WP1 and then realized we didnt have to. Our numerology skills were questionable but we did devise a plan for GZ.
Around a likely area we searched everywhere but where we shouldnt but quickly came up with a find.

I really like how this multi cache was done.
Nice container at GZ but the logbook is not useable at the moment.

Maybe next finder can bring a 200ml systema and logbook to add to the cache container.

Cheers to the 2secretseekers

Out here with dahumbug and I didn't have much longer before I had to play taxi duties, so a quick check of our maps and we decided we could make a stab at getting this multi done today.
So we drove up and checked the first WP. Ok so that means. ###.
But then reading something else from the CO we figure instead of ### it is actually ***. A look at where we were supposed to head and a check of google maps and we figured where our map was referring to so made the short journey to the starting point and headed past the ROCKS of Warning and began our trek. Passing a family as we headed up and they headed down we then realised we must be about there and wandered off to begin our search.
Well after looking in the likely spots we headed back towards the path, with dahumbug wanting to check a particular tree, when all of a sudden....
"STOP! It's HERE!" I call.
How on EARTH did we miss that?!?!
Well I pulled it out, and talk about heavy! I figured it must've been full of water, and as I opened it up I realised it was full of many heavy things, and yes water was one of them. We drained the water but sadly the logbook is unsalvageable, so a quick message and photo to the CO, who had kindly and cleverly provided a phone number in the cache, to let them know of the condition. Then we rehid quickly as we could hear more muggles heading our way, and a response from the CO, who is currently interstate but will tend to the cache soon.
Thanks for the cache 2secretseekers, and the fun adventure dahumbug and I had here today.
 
08-Feb-18
We had looked at this rather mysterious multi-cache on a number of occasions, and wondered just what it was all about! It seemed like it would be some sort of fun adventure!
About two weeks ago, we headed to the starting point, and found three numbers, which, with a little thought and maths, ended up with a possible number. A little later, after reading the hint, we discovered we had the wrong numbers, but ultimately it had all amounted to the same requirement. So we were good to go.
It was Mrs Domsky who first decided to interpret the secret treasure map, and under her guidance, and across The Big Road, and up Heartbreak Hill we soon found ourselves some suburbs away. Things were not looking good for a find on this day, however, no problem, as there was another geocache hiding nearby, which we gleefully logged.
We headed back home, sad to have not found the elusive chest of treasure.
Today, two weeks later we were back. This time it was Mr Domsky’s turn to interpret the hidden secrets. Clearly, his map reading skills are so much better than Mrs Domsky’s!
It was straight to GZ, and then about a five minute search until we could claim it as our own!
The map has been updated with another pirate signature (photo attached) . Happy to report that the gold is still well-hidden.
That was a fun adventure!
Thanks 2secretseekers,

Domsky

Wow! What a clever multi. Such a good imagination to come up with this concept.

We did some trial and error and surprisingly did a quick find. Pure luck?
Favourite point for the effort, love the map and the logbook!

TFTC 2secretseekers. All good with this cache.

Visiting the local area with E(: today before teaming up with RoddyC and patrol14 to look for a few caches. This is the first time I have been involved in finding a 'map only' multi but after we had spent the day finding other caches around here we were getting familiar with the various tracks and found the best way to get us to where to start looking for the treasure. As luck would have it we picked the correct tracks to take and RoddyC walked straight up to it for a very quick find.
Loved the idea of this multi and the treasure itself was well crafted although in need of a little TLC due to the elements and also liked the big log sheet inside the container with all that 'gold'.
A favorite point from me, TFTC 2secretseekers Smile
 
18-Jan-18
We came across your cache, 2secretseekers, while visiting with snickersallan, Patrol 14 and E.

I like old map mysteries.

After comparing the map and the supplied hint to the Maps.me offline map on my phone, I had a pretty good idea of where to go. So after convincing the others to let me drive to a closer entry point, it was only a quick walk up the track to the 'confluence' and yep - I was able to walk straight to the cache.

Log signed and replaced at 3:44 pm on 18 January 2018. TFTC.
 
18-Jan-18
Worked out where we needed to be to find this cache. Took the shortest route and arrived at location and cache was found quickly. Box falling apart but cache still good. Log signed and replaced as found. Great cache!
Out with RoddyC, snickersallan and E.

Found on 18 January 2018 at 3.51pm. TFTC, 2secretseekers.

Today we were trying to log 10 cache types in a day (not quite achieved, as the only webcam available was offline). We had attempted two other multis earlier in the day, but barely managed a start on them, so chose this one as it looked fairly easy, and as it was already late in the evening when we started it, we were hoping it would be fairly quick and straightforward. Unfortunately we didn't read the clue until after we had started searching for the cache, but fortunately the set of 3 digits that we found at the cache co-ordinates actually luckily added to the correct total, even though they were not the correct digits at all, according to the hint! It was good to have some things fall into place for a change, after a day of many frustrations.
We discovered at that stage that we had walked a bit too far, and back-tracked a little. Once we were searching in the correct place, and had turned on our flashlight apps in our phones (much brighter than our failing torch!), it didn't take us too long to find GZ with the spoiler photo, even with just a phone light to guide us. A cute cache, though the lid no longer locks shut and the log is slightly damp and quite mouldy. This was a fun cache and we hope the CO gets there to do some maintenance. We loved the walk in the cool and dark of the late evening, peaceful and silent. TFTC.
 
09-Jul-17
Thanks for the adventure!

TFTC! Thanks for the effort you have put in here. Fellow explorers Please take care opening the cache, it's a little fragile these days. All dry inside.

Quick find while out on a bushwalk. Thanks

Have just been to the funeral of my best friend's Dad at Chapel Hill Uniting Church. He loved bush walking and photography - so much so he is being buried in his hiking gear! So because I was in the area and in memory of Stewart who loved bush walking so much, I thought I would come and do this multi - through the Chapel Hill / Mt Coot-tha bushland. TFT treasure cache! Popular trail even in the 1pm summer heat!
 
27-Dec-16
Sorry for the delayed logs (now late March) as I have been very slack lately. My home PC is up and running again and I have a day off due to the rain. So here we go....

I was visiting the nearby "Eclipse" cache and spotted this multi.

A great wander in the bush and an interesting treasure hunt.

Thanks for the cache 2secretseekers. Cheers!! A favourite point is coming your way.

I wanted to take my dog to a park I hadn't been to so I headed to green hill reservoir on a lovely Saturday afternoon. Lots of people waking, lots of dogs running, lovely view.

I couldn't see the clue at the coordinates but thought I knew the right spot from the description so headed off. Quick find. Great cache. Kept walking up the Mt Coot-Tha lookout to see a beautiful sunset.

Tftc! I had a great afternoon in the area.
 
28-Aug-16
Another kiddie one today. The kids loved to follow the map and were thrilled when they spotted the treasure chest. They couldn't spot the logbook straight away as it is quite unusual. TCTC

TFTC , kids loved the treasure chest.

I was out and about today with barbb and Mrs JAT and this multi appeared to be close to our target cache start point. We had got the info already for WP1 and knew which trail to take, however weren't totally sure where to start looking. This is where I love the caching gods. Some days they seem to put lots of obstacles in the way and no matter how hard you try you will never find the cache. On other days though, they provide you with heightened geosenses or give you insight into solving the hardest puzzles. Well today the gods were smiling upon us and as we were walking to find a different cache, we noticed something that brought to mind the treasure map. We looked at the many distinct features on the map, and sure enough we were nearly standing at GZ. In our best pirate voices we shouted "Aha, there be treasure here!" and we started the search in earnest. It wasn't long until we had found the loot and signed the log book. TFTC 2secretseekers, I really enjoyed this one because you had to rely on your geosenses rather than the GPS Big Grin

Mrs Just a Trifle had another great day out caching with barbbowman and Raynersinoz. We had a few specific caches we wanted to find today, although we did think that with the hills to be walked, we may have bitten off a bit more than we had bargained for Sad As it turned out though, even with some uncertainty at one point, we did manage to find all the caches we had targeted for the day [^]

On arriving at the 1st waypoint we didn't find anything, but from the information on the cache page we knew where we needed to go, if only we could orientate ourselves Surprised Anyway, we put the information aside and continued with our other tasks for the day when what to you know, barbbowman shouted we were where we needed to be for WP2 Cool Well what do you know, after a short scout about, we found a terrific treasure chest Big Grin With our names added to the log book, we continued on our quest Razz

Thank you 2secretseekers for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy Cool

I have been spending a lot of time out in the western suburbs of late - cleaning up interesting caches.

A week or so ago, I was walking on Mt Cootha and on my return back to my car, called past the listed coordinates. I didn't find the number, but on reading the description carefully, I realised I didn't need to.

Today I ventured to my chosen X, where I soon spotted some vegetation as per the photo clue. Many thanks 2 secretseekets

This was quick find and nice cache.
 
08-Jan-16
**The number is not at the first location, check the hint!**
But you do need to go the first location to orient yourself on the map.
My kids enjoyed the walk from the trailhead to the actual cache. We were all wearing thongs and carried the little ones so they wouldn't fall on the steep climb. Thank you for the fun cache! We left behind gold tidings of cheer!
 
29-Dec-15
What a great cache, had heaps of fun, thanks
 
26-Dec-15
Thankyou for this great little multi. We checked out GZ (even tho' we'd read the Hint) as we were in the area collecting other info for another cache.
We had a little bit of trouble deciding on the scale of the map but after a bit of walking to and fro we worked it out. Big Grin
Cache is in good condition. Signed the log. Took nothing.
Thanks for the fun we had and for placing the cache 2secretseekers.
 
17-Oct-15
Didn't realise clue at first waypoint is no longer available until after we spent a while hunting for it. Went back to waypoint 2 and found the treasure pretty easily. Nice cache!
 
10-Oct-15
This was a very fun cache to do. I went to WP1 and found where the info should have been but it wasn't, but luckily I looked at the hint and was able move on. Found the cache using and it was awesome Big Grin. Signed the log, took some photos, and continued up the hill. Nicely executed design. TFTC
 
05-Sep-15
A great cache! A little tricky to work out the numbers & if you do find the treasure it's worth the trek to the top of Mount Coot-tha! Amazing views!
 
13-Jul-15
Had a DNF on this one a while ago, returned today to make amends. Poor map reading was the culprit last time around - I was kicking myself with how quickly I found it this time. This cache is really something special, an easy favourite. A great cache for kids Smile
 
21-Jun-15
I decided that this cache had more than enough favourites to warrant a special trip west early in the morning. The sun was up, the temperature wasn't . I had had a good look at the tracks and decided where I should head but went to the tower to start off the other multi.

Half an hour later I was near the designated spot. The other cache was supposed to be part of a needle-in-haystack. This had some similarities. But I crept along the path with print-out in one hand and an eye on the trees. I then spied a faint trail and followed it, right to the cache.

Showing a few signs of age but still dry on the inside.

great cache.

Out and about today with IolantheK looking for a few caches. Smile
IolantheK had a photo of the necessary info as the sign has had a little 'touch up' by the powers that be. Razz So now I can use the map and eventually headed to GZ. Big Grin
A quick find once there. Some nice touches at GZ. Cool
Thanks for the cache.
 
10-Apr-15
Met up with IolantheK for a few hours of hiking to get 2 caches...... 8 hours and 12 caches later!!!

Checked out WP one on our way to get Coot-tha Resting Part 1. Unfortunately the number needed is no longer available (I only just read the hint which helps with this issue!) but luckily IolantheK had previously found this so gave me the numbers needed.

We finished our hike and were heading back when IolantheK realised I hadn't grabbed this one. So we had a quick look at the map and quickly located the treasure.

This ended up being my 200th find and I'm so happy it was! The cache is amazing! I loved the log book, and digging through the treasure to find one for me! Thanks for putting in so much effort! One favourite point just isn't enough! Smile
 
01-Feb-15
Hmmm been bush walking river falling and slope slipping... Just not my day. The vegetation has certainly changed a lot. More clues please
 
23-Nov-14
Nice one! Really liked it, deserves a FP. Tftc
 
02-Sep-14
This wasn't all that difficult in the end, a case that can't be missed really. Circled about for a while, looked at the map, looked at the picture, looked at the flora and repeated that many times. Eventually bush bashed away from the mud map tracks looking for some greenery. Sadly it has been a bit browned off but the wet season might appear soon to return the lush vegetation. Smaller bushes are still about but the picture is not as it is at this time, the bush shown is not as lush as it is in the picture.

However, struck gold with many rocks and a great setup. I would have been a lot peeved if the find was an eclipse, or clip lock, after negotiating the terrain on the way. This was the second trip here after wandering past it on the quest for the Coot-tha Resting #1 waypoints. Forgot to check the map. Well Done CO.
 
25-May-14
Lovely late afternoon stroll through the bush. Good map. Hide bush is really dry and doesn't look the photo today. Found anyway.
 
25-Apr-14
What a great ches of treasure, kids had a ball!!! Thank so much we loved this one, now to get everyone back up the hill!'
 
05-Apr-14
Signs down so updated hint
 
05-Apr-14
I came to this one with my geodaughter in tow and enjoyed the theme thoroughly. I sang 'Going on a Bear Hunt' to her I enjoyed overacting all the great names like 'River of Despair'!!! I tried to get her into the spirit of the whole thing....but it wasn't to be. Apparently sixteen year old girls just aren't into that sort of thing. Who would have thought!

After arriving at the starting point, it wasn't until after we realised something was amiss that we looked closer to the hint and knew where we had to go. Soon enough we arrived at GZ, and I must have passed this one dozens of time over the last few years, and had never looked in this direction. Such good cammo for such a large hide. It does look a little drier than when the photo was taken, so not as much foliage covering it these days.

Great cache, thanks for the afternoon stroll!
 
21-Feb-14
Having solve the puzzle nearby, I decided to wander over to find this one. The hint provided the number I required and I wander off down the treasure trail. A good bit of mapping, no need for a GPs on this one! Nice container too. TFTC
 
06-Feb-14
Sadly the Aquarian society of South East have obliterated all traces of numerals at the published
location, but a short sail away to treasure island with a sharp eyed lookout in the crows nest soon had the treasure chest in sight. TNLN TFTC.
 
06-Feb-14
As noted by the last couple of finds, the sign in question no longer has digits visible. Finders have to look at all the possible spots!
 
11-Jan-14
Team nwaldrofamily ventured out for this one dressed in our best piratey attire, with much arrring and ahoying. We got some funny smiles from muggles and muggledogs. We went to the wrong number because the starting clue didn't work out for us, so after much searching we decided to look at every checkpoint and sure enough found it. The treasure was spec-tac-u-lar! Tftc a favourite from us.
 
21-Dec-13
Couldn't find the numbers on the initial sign but loved the view. After a not so short look we eventually found the hidden treasure.... And many golden orbs, ants nests, snakes and the list goes on. Thanks for the cache!
 
06-Dec-13
Swapped over 1TB for another.
 
16-Nov-13
This was a lot of fun to get the info and then follow the map. Great cache with lots of treasure. Took one of the trackables to move on. Left the other for the next visitor to pick up. TFTC Smile a favourite point from us!
 
16-Nov-13
Great cache! Lots of great treasure Very Happy
 
15-Nov-13
Came for a few in this area this morning. Found the signs but couldn't work any numbers out. I'm not good with Maths. So I thought I would enjoy the ex cervidae and. Is it them all. Was very happy to see the fantastic treasure. Took nothing left 2 trackables. Tftc.
 
14-Nov-13
Muggled out by a fitness group for a nearby puzzle this became the next closest. Did not look like too long a walk. Strolled down the hill, folowing the treasure map. Nearing GZ I saw a likely spot. Nope, but it was near enough to see GZ. Great container Smile
 
13-Oct-13
This was our last cache of the day and the best one we found. Thanks for putting out a fantastic cache, we had great fun finding it.
 
01-Oct-13
Our chance to find a real pirate's treasure chest! Took a piece of gold and chess piece. Thanks for a really excellent cache.

Approached the initial co-ordinates to find a muggle jogger standing right where I needed to be reading his mobile phone. No problems I'll just wander over here until he moves off. Ok I'll just walk balk here at bit further. Gee it must be an important message. Still no movement. Right this is getting ridiculous. Arghh, are you playing a game of statues or something!!?? Finally he decides to move off and I move in for the required info. Thanks to some scratchings I had the necessary numbers and did the maths. Made my way to GZ following the very accurate ancient map, and soon spotted the quite obvious hide. Extracted the parchment and quilled my name. Dropped of Pirate Pete TB (Couldn't be a better place to leave a pirate !) TFTC

Spent a long time examining that waypoint, trying to find numbers on it [?]. Walked away in frustration and noticed a couple more nearby. Nope, none of them have numbers either. Hang on, there's more over there. Ahh, a number at last [B)]. I may have been at Green Hills, but it was a matter of forests and trees for me today Red Face.
With all numerals numerologically numeralised, I set off with map in hand and eventually came to a likely spot. Soon found the geocache and was delighted with the contents. You've done a masterful job. I would love to have visited this one with children. Hell, I was excited to sort through the contents Big Grin.
After making my mark on ye ol' scroll, I packed it all away and re-hide the cache. I found out later that I'd picked up two ticks here. It was the only grassy/bushy cache of the day, so I'm blaming you, but I forgive you too ... this one is just too good a cache to whinge about [^].

Out and about today with Aberosenstingel. Thanks to him, we had a solid start going to WP1 and doing the necessary arithmetic.

A very slow amble to GZ with kids slipping and sliding all over the place. Still the promise of pirate treasure kept them enthused.

We closed in on GZ and spotted the hide from a distance. The excitement mounted and the kids closed in. Huge smiles when the skull and crossbones were revealed. Plus a gasp or two when the lid was opened.

This is a cracking cache. Possibly the best yet. And a great log too. Gets a favourite point from 5Meerkats. Keep up the great work SecretSeekers!!

Finally knocked this one off. Great concept, TFTC

I was in the area to get another cache and decided that I should clear this one at the same time.

I was a bit puzzled about the numbers at the start but decided that I could wing it if I needed too so I headed down Heartbreak Hill and started my hunt at the position which I had determined but i didn't spot anything. A call to a friend didn't help as they couldn't remember so I decided to check a few more spots. After wandering around for quite a while I spotted a likely spot and headed over to find that I had discovered the treasure.

After signing the log and replacing everything I headed out of the area a different way and almost ran into a muggle who was sitting in the bush less than 20m from the cache. I skirted around him and headed back up heartbreak hill.

TFTC. Well constructed although I did spend a lot of time looking and don't know how I messed up my arithmetic.

After deciding to gather some info on this treasure I was confronted and frustrated by 5 signs one with no numbers and 2 barely readable. Never the less I had my eye on the treasure and decided to carefully navigate ye old neckbreak hill after nearly plunging to my death I kept my eyes wide and wandered through the jungle. I ventured through raging torrents (dry) lol and avoided being sprung several times by people walking some kind of four legged shabby beast!! After some time I decided I had been past most locations and admitted ye treasure eluded me. As I was leaving I gave one more look around "I see it" I said to myself "could this be it" covered in leaves I cleared a box "I've found the treasure!" Eyes wide open I opened it to find ye old scroll and a gleaming box of treasure!! I had to think carefully as chose my one piece to remember this adventure. Treasure safely left behind and a nice piece in my pocket I walked away with a big Smile ttfc I loved this one!

I gathered the initial information for this cache a couple of months ago and only managed to get to GZ today. It was a perfect afternoon for it though and I enjoyed the stroll through the bush to get to the final location... [^]

Once in the right area, I looked in a a couple of places before I spotted something out the corner of my eye. Hmm, I wonder... Wink I moved closer and yup, that's what I'm after... Big Grin

I removed the nicely crafted container and opened it up to reveal another surprise... Nicely done indeed... Smile I etched my name on the parchment, nabbed the couple of trackables and tucked everything away.

Nice work on this one, it gets a favourite from me... [^]

Cheers 2secretseekers.

Woo-hoo, what a great cache.

First I get to go up the reservoir and get a spectacular view of the city. I used to climb all the way to the top to throw paper airplanes when I was a kid.

I did this first step last night in conjunction with another cache and got the numbers no problem.

Today I stopped by to make the walk down to collect the booty. Just what the doctor ordered a little exercise and a nice stroll. I did go off with the fairies a little and discovered that I had overshot GZ as I was rambling along. Back tracking I soon found GZ and the super cache.

I loved the map. It's much better than my phone is under the tree cover. Thanks SecretSeekers.
