By ozglory on 26-Sep-15. Waypoint GC6439A

I found it, before logging the paper I said theres no way this is it and sure enough, fiddling around with it theres the log paper and the clue for itTFTC!

Clever cache! Loved it QW

New log on stone paper new 3d printed clue

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Staying in Kempsey only 2 nights, today was planned around finishing the Monopoly series and visiting Smithtown, Gladstone and Crescent Head.Managed to grab a yummy pie and sausage roll at Crusty's bakery in Gladstone. Didnt try the cakes but they also looked yummy. Weather was kind to us today. [^]We didn't need the info here luckily but stopped by due to the high faves. TFTC ozglory

That's a funny spot for that! Found with Portstevo on our way to golf! Had souch rain in Port last night we're pretty happy to find dry ground up here. Tftc

Tftc. Very creative hide. Doesn't seem to be any clues here though. Found with red_ear_slider

Found with nissan65 on a day trip caching. Thankyou for your contribution to geo caching

Found with cullum 68 on a day out caching. Thank you for the cache

Quick find, tftc

Log is very full, needs replacement please!

log replaced

Excellent cache. I spotted it almost immediately upon arrival, and looked at it in several ways, but couldn't find the log, and from previous finders notes I thought I was looking for something bigger.

So I wandered around GZ looking to see if there was anything else. There wasn't, and also every bit of logic in me was telling me that HAD to be the cache! So I went back, and fiddled around a bit more, and finally found the right way to access the log!

The extra layer left by the previous finder was quite thick and I couldn't get it back into the cache with the original. Luckily I managed to find a tiny bit of space to sign the original log, and returned it without the extra paper.

FP from me! TFTC!

Log is pretty full, Added some more paper

Tftc
Great hide

Super clever cache, very appropriate for water works!!

Late night cache found, well hidden very smart placement

Find number 300 for us!!
And this one was a great tricky hide to mark the occasion
Replaced the bag to keep the log dry, but the log is almost full
TFTC

A quick and easy find compared to the previous tortuous experience. TFTC

What a beautiful container! Unfortunately log is a complete congealed mess. Unable to sign. TFTC

Another quick park and short walk in the bush to find this prize. TFTC

Touring NSW with our van Hilda the HiAce. After visiting friends in Forster we decided to continue our way north. Last night we stayed in Kempsey showground and this cache was chosen this morning because of all the favopoints. Nice quick find, tftc!

TFTC
Fav point from me

Oh i loved this cache it is really clever and really fits in with the theme of the series. Def fav point deserved. Thanks for the cache ozglory tnln replaced as found sl

Great themed cache. A fav point from me

Covid19 allows caching again. With restrictions.

guess why. will enable when the drama finishes.

sorry for the delay I forgot this was disabled

temporary disabled whilst we swop over to the upgraded series.

Thought we would do a round of Claytons Golf this morning. Jumped in the car to leave, switched on the GPS only to find nothing was loaded even after checking last night. Remembered that I did a software update and this must of wiped the caches. Back in the caravan and loaded and off we went. Picked up those along the road getting there and on our way home, before it got too hot.

A quick find with a unique cache container, a favourite point from me. Thanks for the cache.

Loved this cache which was spotted very quickly, but it took a little longer to extract the log to be able to sign it and to find the clue. We are slowly getting closer to the end of the game.
Thanks for the hide ozglory.

Love the idea of the container again fitting in with the whole monopoly theme you must have had a great time brainstorming the whole concept for us, fav from me
Thank for put out this cache and maintains it out with aussieBen and shifter brains on a warm and windy day scoping out the sites of Kempsey 2020 Mega in July

Very good hide.

Well this was the start of something "NEW" for us !! after finding the cache ,started to investigate what this the" MONOPOLY" was about!!! Thanks ozglory , we are off to discover more (maybe )

No need for tears here
A short wander around the roadside revealed what could only be a geocache
It it wasn't ...
... then I was going to get out of there pretty damn quick

TFTC

LMAO
That was a lot of fun. I cant explain what happened because that would give it away.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

We have headed south a few weeks early to have a little holiday prior to attending the Oz Geomuster Mega event. We have found ourselves based in Port Macquarie for a few days which has enable us to spend some time exploring some of the nearby towns.

Today, we took a drive out toward Kempsey to explore the area and find a few caches while we were here [^] We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way

Thank you ozglory for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Finally time to get some caching done in Kempsey. After meeting ozglory we were keen to check out their caches and we were not disappointed. We are still working on completing this fun series. Thanks to ozglory for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Tftc very clever

Today we spent some time around Kempsey to find a few caches, this was our fifteenth for the day.

After a short search we found the clever and very appropriate "container".
Thanks for the cache, worth a favourite point

This was a great spot to pull over and let the geokids have a find on their own. After a few circles, and some prompting from Geodad, they made the find. Both loved the camo! TFTC

Reperio at 0155. Found in the company the_garbageman!

Well what started as an innocent look at a few puzzles in preparation for the upcoming HAVOC Incarceration camping event, soon turned into an impromptu all night caching run when we managed to solve all the puzzles.

Heading home to Newcastle, we decided to find a nearby cache, and then proceeded on to this one. No sooner had we found this one we on were our way to ticking off a few more in the series. We had a lot of fun tracking them down.

Gratias ozglory.

On an all-night geocaching adventure with MV on his birthday from Newcastle to South West Rocks seeking some FTFs and high D:T combos. We left Newcastle at 5:30pm and arrived back at 12 noon the next day. 42? caches, targeting D2:T2 and higher. Steady drizzle, dark, no sleep, higher terrain = fun

We were targeting the Torture Time cache nearby and did this on a whim. Next thing you know we're chasing another series tonight... still more work to be done though. Just as well the geofamily and I will be back in the area in a few weeks.

I liked the effort on the container here too. TNLN TFTC

We are back out again in the Kempsey area for our forth day of caching. Kempsey has really turned it on, with magnificent winter weather (we're Victorian!), shorts and Tshirts every day-except when we're scrambling around in the bush!
We've driven through Kempsey many times over the years and never thought to stop here. Since we have discovered geo-caching we took another look at the area and saw all those lovely caches just waiting to be found. Add in a good cheap place to stay in our caravan at the Showgrounds. Thanks to those who have had the foresight to cater for us old folk on tour.
We were looking for a simple straightforward cache after just completing the Torture one, but we didn't find it here! Quickly found the hiding place, and as we have a similar cache with the same hiding spot it was easy to liberate the log.
Love the fact that it fits the cache description! Very appropriate
TFTC

Hi there ozglory.

We found your cache **"MK- (Water Works)"** at 1:21:00 PM today. (This makes our total find count 17530).

Our plan for the day was to finish the game of Monopoly that we started a couple of days ago. Little did we know that it wasn't possible to finish the game so easily, because we kept getting side tracked.

We had a most enjoyable day & found 26 caches in a variety of container types and sizes (& DNF'd 2). Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

Loved the camo.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

Found with Felicity85

It is always a lot of fun to find a different and fun kind of container and this is one of them. We extracted the log after finding exactly where it was hidden and soon had the job done. We are giving this one a favouite point for the fun and appropriate container. Thank you to ozglory.

Love this one...this has to be my favourite yet!!

Nice one!...fun...tftc

Tfc found with earthly 65 cool container

Spotted this creative cache, and then the next problem was working out where the log was. After a few incorrect guesses it was finally found. Have enjoyed the monopoly series, it's taking us a while, but the utilities are by far the best ones! Thanks for a great cache.

On reaching GZ I looked around all the usual hiding places until something was spotted - what a clever hide ozglory. A FP from me today.

After Torture Time we continued to this but not before we passed half a dozen pairs of colourful undies strewn on the road. That sort of Water Works?? Fortunately not. A neat hide for this location . TFTC ozglory.

Log book & place card replaced.

Found @5:22:00 PM.

I had found a cache nearby a year or so ago. This one had me a little confused when it came to signing the log. There were only 2 names on the rolled up sheet, mine and the previous cacher. I think I looked in all the right places for the official one.

Thanks to ozglory for the cache

Very clever. TFTC, I will use a generic log and go into detail at the final mystery cache. Picking up the odd cache in this series over my visits to Kempsey.

Log was just mush, no bag. I replaced with a temp bit of paper inside the inlet pipe, sorry but I had no zip lock bag.

**# 14435** Found on our extended 2016 winter escape trek.
An excellent warm winter day for a drive around Kempsey looking for caches.
Mainly Monopoly caches and a few others along the way.
This one was a very good hide too.
Not many muggles around here today.
Thanks for the cache ozglory,
***Roostaman***

Favorite point. Took Nothing Left nothing Slgned Log

Found with Doogle06. TFTC

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.

Went to the Water Works and found the cache, loved the camo - great idea.

Enjoying the Monopoly series and how all the utilities are located at those locations.

TFTC

What a fantastic cache. We opened it every way possible before we managed to get the right one. We loved this one, thank you

Awesome!!! Love this one <3

Love love love this cache

Didn't even get my feet wet

Yeah! Why are only the Utilities getting clever cache designs? Like this one - water works!!

Found at 4:19pm on 15th December, 2015. TFTC.

Found at 1:31 PM GAFF1 in the company of DiMorgan.
A nice themed cache - we are so impressed at the time and effort put into this series and some of the "Utility" caches
Thanks ozglory.

Today we travelled with pprass & found many interesting & varied caches in the Kempsey area.
Even though we have found the final we still this utility to find. This is a great hide great , we had glimpses of the dam from the fence line.
favourite point given
Thanks for placing this cache ozglory

First of the monopoly caches that we've found - love this cache! TFTC ... Found with nudge74 and nambucca vents

Cache #1 on the geocaching camping weekend at Wittitrin Event found with Anissa288 and Nambucca_vents

Cool cache first in the series of monopoly caches, looking forward to the rest of the series.

SL TNLN TFTC

Another one to mark off in the monopoly series. Clever hide thinking outside the box. Hopefully using this won't drain the dam

TFTC SL, well that was unusual.

TFTC great hide nice spot

Found by Pat & Cheryl at 6:07 PM. Thanks for bringing us to this great location and helping us to increase our tally. Really enjoyed this cache ozglory and this is #889 so far for us.

Wow, what an amazing cache... Walked past it twice, and then thought 'surely not' haha... TFTC

Loved the cache container. Well done. Loving the series

Making a start on the Monopoly trail and was amazed to get a FTF - yippee!! haven't had a FTF for ages. Been down here before for another cache in the vicinity. Just loved this one, very clever, well done ozglory
