Switched to a new geocache

Geocache needs fixing after the flood waters.

The cache at WP1 was full of water and soggy paper pulp, so I couldn't proceed any further. Could the CO please check on the cache and perform maintenance. Thanks Ciobi12

Nice hide. A little damp and hard to write on. But SL. TFTC.

After dropping the kids at the beach there was a small window to grab a cache so with the heat we figured this area would be muggle free and it was. A few water dragons about as we headed along the track. Fortunately we made good selection and soon hauled in the cache and completed the signing duties. Some of the logs are a little damp. TFTC.

I had hoped the incessant rain might ease off, but it didn't. Still, I pressed on, even when I realised it wasn't as straightforward a task as I had expected.

It was quite enjoyable, though, despite the drenching.

Nice one, thanks Ciobi12, have a favourite

[NS1D32 is a virtual trackable which travels about in selected “Found it” logs. Feel free to discover it, and please mention where you saw it.]

Our fourth time!

Happy caching everyone,

Fun walk, ran through a few spider webs coming down from the north trail.

Found them this time - #3 first, then #2 then#1, ha ha! Last time we were here we found a long lost cache instead of these three! Beth

Found it - took a while but great fun. I think we were the first in 4 years from what I could see from the logbook??

Stopped off on my way home from work this afternoon to have a look at this one. Came in via Dawson's Farm, parking the geomobile in West Street, and then following the bush track down past the Dawson's Farm ruins. Continued down the track to Flat Rock Creek, following it to the creek crossing, then crossing over the creek and on to the posted coords.

I made the correct choice here and was soon at WP1, quickly finding the nicely "packaged" clue sheet. Another correct answer soon had me at WP2, and reading the next question. Made my choice and headed off full of confidence, soon arriving at a likely location. Spotted a very familiar chunk of caching camo, opened it up and pulled out what I initially thought was a log sheet.

But no, it was just a message to advise me that I had incorrectly answered the last question (at WP2). Yep, can confirm that no smartphone was used, well I couldn't have used one as I don't actually own one! Replaced the message & camo as found, and then headed back to WP2 to "revise" my previous answer .

Now with the "correct" answer I was soon at the "correct" final GZ, where I soon spotted the tell tale signs of a "cache in hiding". Retrieved the cache container, signed the log sheet, and then replaced as found.

Thanks Ciobi12 for a fun little multi in a nice cool bushy location. It's something a little bit different from the usual multi cache and that, together with the pleasant bush location and nicely "packaged" waypoints, earns a Favourite point from us.

Find #1467

#3482 (2 of 2 today)

Geoson #3 needed a lift to Artarmon for some product testing, so if I drive home I can go for a cache or two until he needs to be collected. Mind you he told me not to go too far...
Managed to grab a traditional and a multi before getting the call to return. Mind you, it was a 700 metre walk back to *The Hademobile* first!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Came to a park where I played cricket back in my school days a *few* (ahem) years ago... Well the bridge doesn't appear to have changed.
Like a recent finder, I had to pretend I had a trailer as the main car park was full thanks to three cricket matches in progress.

Made the walk to the published coordinates - then waited for the muggle behind me to go past.
Then I made my choice - the right one happily - but it took me a while to find the right spot. Obvious once I got there, though.

Again knew the answer so went to the right spot first time yet again.
Off to Waypoint 2 and it took a minute or two for the penny to drop. Oh, there!

Not 100% sure of my answer to the third question, but again I made the right choice, and this time it was a quick find. CIH!

As others have noted the cache is damp inside, but the log was signed without problems.
Replaced and... Geoson #3 is ready to be picked up. Well, I have a walk back first! Mwhahaha!!

Nice short multi. Good job *Ciobi12*.

A grey and overcast Saturday, but at least the rain had ceased. Parked at the suggested location, where I had to pretend that I had a trailer since all other parking spaces were taken. Took a walk in the park, past three ongoing games of cricket. At WP1 I took the right turn, and found the second WP easily. Another decision to make, and then on to WP3. From there it was not far to GZ, where the cache was soon found. The contents of the cache were wet, but thanks to the 'plastic' paper the log could be signed and replaced.

Finally returned here after a DNF in January. Mrs Gaztek just couldn't see the container at GZ last time. Today it was a different story with Mr Gaztek on tow and the container a bit more obvious. Lots of activity on a Sunday afternoon. Great park. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

The geocache has been fixed and the hints are now updated.
BTW the moose came all the way from Skagway, Alaska; make sure it travels as far as possible.
Other than that, enjoy the cache and best of luck.

Sorry, but 2 caches of this geocache have been stolen. Will replace ASAP

I'm not sure if waypoint one and two are missing or not as I couldn't find them despite good hints. I did however spot the final!?!

TFTC.

Lovely location, always wonder what was below the bridge every time I drove over it, a hidden paradise.
Tftc

Great cache though I'm confused as it said 3 questions and I found the cache where the first answer lead me! The write-in-rain paper was a good choice, soaked but still works after the torrential rain this weekend. Fantastic location and great little multi, lots of points of interest here. The access road was closed by the SES so I had to enter from Dawson's Farm, I needed that cache anyway and the river walk is awesome too. Glad I had the water proof boots on as the torrent was ankle high at the crossing. Definitely an FP, cheers!

We loved this. Thanks.

Loved this multi, it's one of my fav areas, I used to walk my dogs here when they were puppies, nearly 10 years ago - not sure they'd have liked the rain and mud today but I pushed in and there was a break in the clouds.

I found WP1 quickly enough and I hope I got the right answer, I really struggled with the next container and during my search accident my came across the final ..... Oops but yay !!

Fav point awarded for a clever idea and a lovely walk

Tftc

My kids say this is their favourite one so far. Notably, this was the first one my 3yo daughter really got excited about. Really well done. The placer of the cache went to a lot of trouble here. Favourite points from us.

Nice geo cache. Thanks

Giving this one a fav as the work involved in compiling the puzzle questions and nice locations at waypoints.
No leeches but I do expect they would be here, as I'd sprayed my shoes with aero-guard.
Wp1 was spotted easily and deciphered and at WP2, took ages to locate the container.
Quick find at GZ, just as a muggle walked past and caught me in caching terms "with my pants down" or signing log in a tight position.
Didn't see the bike wheel as noted by a previous finder, thanks clobi12

Really enjoyed this despite a DNF. Nice walk across glowingly green cricket pitches with one match being played. Bush is lush after recent rains. Found all but last. Must admit I'm not as good a bush-spotter as Mr Gaztek who was not along today. Clever cache approach and cute containers. Liked it so much that I even checked out the wrong place! Will return with Mr G in tow. Cheers... Mrs Gaztek

What an awesome cache! Loved the cryptic puzzles and clues. If you find the bike chain the wheel is down below. Red herring. Loved the caches. Logbook in all caches are dry. SL TFTH TFTC. Thanks for bringing me here.

Finally....

Wow, nice cache. Took some time but eventually find it!! Kids love it

Nice hide! Had to have help from other geocachers.

We found the first two, but not the final. Any clues appreciated!!

The geocache is still there.

Wasn't really chasing a find today just enjoying a lovely walk along this waterway - we came in from the indoor pool end of the track. Checked the app and found this cache started right where we were taking a break. Found WP1 easily enough and then WP2. Tried to find WP3 with one answer (wasn't sure) but didn't find anything so looked for the other which was an easy find but incorrect. Came back and looked again but found nothing. Reading the logs it seems that people can find the cache looking for WP1 so we went back there. I spotted something that looked like it could be attached to a valuable cache but there was nothing of note there. Looked all around - it's all rather close to WP1 so I wasn't quite sure where to look without the hint of WP3. Hope someone else has better luck.
Next time.

What a team! Mikele and I got all the answers right the first time. I wonder what the notes would have said if we'd have gone the wrong way. Good job Ciobi12. You have my FP!

Nice hide. TFTC

FOUND IT

Really cool way to introduce someone new to caching . Good fun and just enough challenge for us TFTC

I really enjoyed this cache in a great area not far from home. Many thanks, Regards MRG

We were confused. Maybe because it was our first time geocaching. But we answered the first question and found the capsule - but I think this was the final clue and had something to sign our names. No further questions. So we signed our name and wondered what to do. Have the other clues been removed? Lovely location and hunting for a couple more clues would have made for great afternoon. Thanks for hiding and help if you can.

Awesome, great geocache

Well today I took new geopuppy #2 and a muggle friend to do the walk from Flat Rock Creek to Tunks Park. Not wanting to spend too much of my time with a new pup in the bush I thought I'd just collect the 1st stage of this multi and leave the rest for a future walk.

The walk was great, well signposted, lovely rainforest, lively birds and what a view of that bridge!

At the bottom my muggle needed the loo and so rushed off leaving me to do stage 1 of the cache. I hunted in the backpack, hmmm, no GPS. Then I noticed a sign, yes I could remember the original question and info so I set off taking XY steps. OK, where too now? I looked around and something I saw rang a little bell in the memory about the info. A careful scan of the environment revealed something out of place. Bingo! Stage 1 solved. No muggle friend returning so I made a guess at the answer to the question and set off. This led me to a spot that geopup was very excited about and after some searching I spotted something that matched the info. Yes! Muggle friend returned and said oh you've found it, great container! I explained this was actually part 2 and began to follow the new directions for the final prize. I approached from one direction and my muggle from another who immediately said I can see it. So a smilie when I least expected it!

We continued to walk to the bay for lunch and on the return spotted one of the "wrong answer" decoys.

TFTC #1064
Great walk, geopup exhausted (finally something to tire him out), muggle friend loved it and I'm very impressed with all your effort Ciobi12 so its a favourite from me! Oh and we'll be back to do this walk again, thanks for showing us. (I'd done both ends before but didn't realise they joined up.)

Awesome multi! Very very cool cache to introduce my 3 best friends to Geocaching! Unfortunately no pen but a photolog instead!

Thank you very much for an awesome experience! Favourite point for sure!

TFTC!

A very cool first cache. We had an awesome time. Thank you!

The geowife and geodoggie joined me for lunch today, and afterwards we had a lovely walk. We parked at the water and strolled along the edge of the fields, making plenty of friends along the way. (The doggie that is).

At GZ I was struggling a bit as there were a lot of nooks and even more crannies. A couple of texts in the right direction got me over the line. Took the TB.

Thanks for a great reason to be out in the sunshine today. TFTC

13/5/15. 2:35 PM. Cache #2495. Streak day #325.
I parked at the given parking WP at Brothers Ave near the oval, then looked at the distance to the published coordinates (about 750m beeline) and thought, surely I can get a lot closer to that.. Drove back to The Boulevarde and scored a spot about halfway along. I walked along the Suspension Bridge towards Northbridge and looked down - such a long way down to the cache. As I neared the bridge's NW corner I saw stairs leading down and thought I'd found a much quicker way down to the cache. Followed the steps down only to find that they stop about halfway down and end at the top of a cliff. D'oh!

Back to The Boulevarde. A set of stairs that start at S 33° 49.070 E 151° 12.928 does provide a slightly quicker option (if I hadn't wasted time crossing the bridge). The stairs were steep but in no time I was at Tunks Park passing all the schoolkids playing soccer, and a few minutes later I was (finally!) at the starting point.

I already knew the answer to the number of countries question (although if I hadn't known it, there seemed to be nothing obvious in the vicinity to provide that answer, so I don't see how Google could be avoided for those that don't know). I chose the path that applied to that answer. Now, thinking I had only answered the first of three questions, I thought I was looking for something other than the cache that would provide the next question.

After over twenty minutes, looking in every nook and cranny around, I finally saw an item that looked out of place. I used this to retrieve a container, which upon opening, revealed itself to be the cache. So I only answered one question instead of three - don't know if that was just dumb luck or is the description wrong? Anyway, I signed as 3TF (mrnoo17 was here on the 10th but not logged yet) and discovered the TB (think I've had that one before). Replaced cache, then back up the stairs and then off for home. TFTC.
} : )

From the beginning, this seemed like an odd hide, however, I enjoyed it! Since I didn't quite get around to logging this on time, I have been able to read KRS' log. Unlike him, I opted for the non-Google option. The first question I answered what i though was right. Turns out the message i found in the container said otherwise. Hmm, lets try the other one. Thankfully, this gave a better result. I won't go into too much detail about the rest, but I can say that I was impressed. Although this might not quite live up to the "best in Sydney" list which the CO alluded to in the description, it is certainly worth stopping to do. With a good assortment of waypoint containers, set out in a slightly unusual, but effective manner. Only small problem is the one that KRS must have stumbled upon. I personally think the waypoints are a tad too close, but apart from that, this has to be the best "first hide" caches that i have seen. TFTC!!!!

Found this with a lucky call out to a client nearby. Cool cache! And nice walk in from near the leisure centre.

Thanks for the cache

Just to show that there is a trackable in the geocache.
