Well, I had originally planned to pick up the remaining Lighthouse series caches at my leisure, but it appears that is not to be.
I had solutions to all the outstanding caches except four WIGs. Quickly solved one of those at home, and with a rough idea about another I could just about clean them up.
Went for thirteen and found twelve of them.
Good to get so many, but such a pity the series didn't last. I do agree with many though that too many of the placements had issues.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Fun idea of a puzzle. Got the right idea early on and so it wasn't too long before I had the coordinates.
Not that comfortable at GZ but thought if I get in and out quick...
And I did.
Nabbed, signed and replaced, then out of there.

Well after some reorganisation of our intended travelling it was decided to make the return trip to the Mittagong area and with it the WLS series was on the radar as it was soon to be archived with only a few not solved and some that have already been archived it was now the day to see what we could find.
well not my fortae however eventually found the necessary informaiton to decipher the page to eventually obtain the correct informaiton and it was a simple search that provided the cache in hand.
Thanks ozgeomuster for placing this series however it is a shame it has to be removed from the map.

TFTC!! These puzzles were absolutely amazingly tricky and I had a lot of fun trying to solve them! With some help from a partner geocacher
This will be a copy and paste log as I found so many
It was a lot of fun solving the puzzles for these caches. I'll admit I did get some help from a fellow cacher on a handful of them and it was great to have someone give me an extra hint
The puzzles themselves very standard but I did enjoy them and the area. Overall it was a great experience!!

As StrangeTrousers posted it has been a while since we were at the OzGeomuster and getting a chance to now play with the artwork and pick up the puzzles that we had worked on as a group prior to the event and due to time constraints picked up the other fun things on offer like the Lab Caches back then. It was another great day in the sunshine with a Garmin in my hand and exploring places. We had a go at CacheTur and having just got a new phone I reverted to using its map feature. Going to spend a little more time using CacheTur for planning my upcoming caching days. Ditto what ST mentioned about Picton Rd – scary. Loved that ST had a “hight enhancer” – ladder in his car for our travels and that it got put to good use at the end of the day. Had never seen a koala fence before so that was something new to come across whilst down there. Big thank you to everyone for all the work on the caches and puzzles and a special thanks to ST for all the driving.

#5705 16th for today
Logs stamped as "Kayak Cachers" being the team of StrangeTrousers and CBRChic.
It's been quite a while since the OzGeomuster at "The Gong", but collection of these solved puzzles comprising the Lighthouse series has been outstanding. Today CC & I made the short journey from Canberra back up to Appin/Wilton to grab these caches. It was a lovely calm, but warm day hitting about 29C for most of the afternoon. We tried to use CacheTur's routing to gather the caches, but it quickly became apparent this wasn't going to work as we drove past places we know caches were located. It seemed to make no sense, so we quickly abandon this reverting to our GPSr for the next closest. We didn't enjoy the caches along Picton Rd so, much, the traffic was scary. We had to duck across the road on a few occasions, which wasn't all that fun. Not too many misses today. Sorry for the generic logs, puzzles were solved as a group before the Mega, so I can't remember too many details, but we had quite a few fun evenings of puzzle solving.

We were on our way home from the Queensland Oz Geo Muster and decided to go via the coast home. We had camped near the start of this series and Diane noticed them in the morning. Being quite early we decided to try our luck at a few as we had the answers from before the Mega but did not get this far afield.
We started off well and decided to keep going until lunch time then start heading south again.
We were very happy we did as we managed to collect 47 of them with 4 DNF’s
We thank ozgeomuster for all the effort in setting up the puzzles and hiding the caches and apologise for the generic log but with so many caches found in a short time they blend into each other but we can say we did enjoy each one.

Having sat on the answers to this fun geoart trail for too long, today was the day we finally managed to get out on the hunt. It also worked well to coincide with then Mystery at the Museum challenge.
This one was a good puzzle, something I hadn't seen before.
The cache was quickly found with a good sway collection

Did a bit of a run this morning up around Wilton to try and finish off the series. Managed to get through most of them pretty quickly which was great. TFTC!
some others and I found this cache whilst out and about. I am now catching up from some geocache logging after the ozgeomuster and the rest of the weeks full of geocaching. TFTC co's. i apologize for all of the generic logs
Thanks to everyone involved in the creation of this geoart! While I plotted the shape & wrote a lot of puzzles from back home in Brisbane, it was a team effort all around. I was very happy to finally get onsite and see it in the field.. thanks to:
Kyzabra for numbers 1-4
Burgo for number 7, 18, 19, 56
Seemyshell for the final placements and coordinate collection &
MizMaz for local support fixing them up as best we could!
I grabbed all the art, (except the challenges under my geoname) over the course of the weekend! As usual. My fav part of mega geoart is bumping into other cachers in the field

Enjoying my time at the OZmega and having a look at the Wooloongong area.
Caught up with AyKayEm and we hatched plans to do as many of the Lighthouse series as we could this afternoon, before returning to camp for the talks and talent quest.
We decided to go out and do some more of the series this evening and were merrily on our way when we confronted by a barricade on the other side of Appin. Oh no!! Disaster!!
In spite of numerous large signs warning not to, someone who should not have been in charge of a fully loaded B-double, but was, decided to take one through the Broughton Pass, getting it stuck and wrecking the narrow bridge guardrail. As there is a tight hairpin bend at each end of the bridge, the wonder of it all was that he managed to get the truck to the bridge to damage it!
What that meant for us, was to go halfway to Sydney and then come back down on another road to reach the caching area. It involved an extra 55 km each way as well as the extra time and petrol.
Cursing the idiot driver, we did the looong detour and eventually ended up on the same side of the pass as the caches. We visited 16 caches tonight before again taking the looong detour back to camp, creeping in sometime after 3am.

I was up here for the OZGeomuster, went to the CITO with echocage1, then we decided to head out and find a few of the lighthouse caches before the late afternoon seminars. After the seminars, and the evening talent show, we decided to head out for some night time adventures, and find some more lighthouse caches. We didn't get far before we had to "do a youey" and go the rather long way around to get to the area - thanks to some idiot who thought it would be a good idea to ignore all the large "No heavy vehicles beyond this point" signs, and somehow manage to drive a B double around the hairpin bend and onto the bridge, where he got stuck, and destroyed the gaurd rails in the process ... (and as a result, the road was closed for the night, and for at least another day or more, meaning I also had to take the long way home from the Mega as well). We had fun, until we eventually decided we should head back to camp and get at least some sleep - we arrived back at camp after 3am (oops? lol)
TFTC - Sorry for the mostly generic logs, but (as far as finding them went) these were mostly generic caches - lol
(I did scribble some notes for a couple of caches, so I am including those at the end of the log, where relevant ... )
This one was the last cache we looked for/found that night, and apart from the (temporarily?) relocated WLS #6 (which was signed the next morning, at the OZGM registration desk, where it had been relocated due to a problem with the neighbours expressing their displeasure at all the strangers coming and looking for things near their home), this was the last WLS cache find for me - the next day was time to pack up camp and head home (via a few other caches I wanted to find) ... I might have to come back some other time and do the rest of this series ... not sure when though ... might be a while before I have time.

I always like a bit of geoart, and particularly am a fan of those utilizing multiple cache types. There was a good range of caches within each type too, showing a lot of effort had been put into the cache design. So this was a clear must grab while attending the OZGM. Did not take too long to grab these, with the traces of increased foot traffic over the weekend lending a hand for a couple of hides. TFTC!
Today we were out try try and get all the lighthouse series and others finished before we head back home tomorrow morning after enjoying the 3 days of the Oz GeoMuster. It has been an awesome few days. This was the 14th find for the day. Thanks for the fun

Today team novo x3 on day two of our OZGM2019 mega area tour, doing some select caches from the Stanwell Tops and Thirroul areas, then down to Kembla Grange for a group assault on an Adrenalin Addiction cache, and then finishing the day on some more Lighthouse caches as we slowly head home. It was a great way to start the school holidays!
Another rather unique puzzle which had a very unfamiliar puzzle flavour to it! However, the first glance of this one looked like something I'd seen before with one of it's features giving it away. On consultation of the hint I was able to hone in and figure out that I was close but not quite right; I'm very familiar with another of the ~3 other... let's say "platforms" which this could represent. The final bit of the puzzle took me a while until the penny dropped with what I had to do (something completely unrelated!) and then I was home. This arvie I sat in the car while the geokids took it in turns collecting these ones. TFTC and puzzle, ozgeomuster.

Last day of the Mega event so it’s fitting I finish off this series. Had about 20 to do and the effort was sped up thanks to Muppet who knew the locations much better than I did.
As I thought of the first haul I had for this series there were many questionable GZs but I still managed to safely get the smilies... kind of.

Quarry Lane is a street you don’t walk down if you value your sense of smell. The proximity to the Cattle Yards give it an agricultural air.

I’m over in Sydney for work and managed to add a couple of days to hit the OZGM.
Teaming up today with Gunnie69 and Ghostgums, we made our way down from Sydney to Wollongong, collecting a number of solved puzzles and other caches on the way. Teamed up today with Sharkiefan as well for today’s run.
This was one of them.

Generic Log to follow…….
The Stumble’s met up with Gr8cahes whilst having a dismal attempt at solving our first ever Lab cache. Instantly they became our new best friends and helped us to complete two of them!
We left camp both days to collect some real geocaches. All in all, we spent the 2 days travelling around the area including Bald Hill and the Sea Cliff Bridge. Whilst we didn’t collect a huge number of caches, the fact that we were spending time in great company and met sooooo many fantastic and helpful cachers along the way made the weekend worthwhile. Its always nice to put a face to a cache name!
All caches attempted were successfully found except one and it was fun watching Daniel jump in and out of the car like an excited kid, racing off to claim the find. Some were really easy to find whilst others took a bit longer or required the skills of a monkey to locate!

The lighthouse series was today's aim. Paul_the_Hippy and goingplaces2 came along too. We hit our target and finished the series with no problems and had a lot of fun too. Cache retrieved, log signed, job done. TFTC.
Puzzle: we needed to refer to the Geomuster “help line” for this one,but all was good in the end.

It had always been the plan to solve and find as many of these as possible. It's not everyday you get a Mega in your own backyard AND an awesome geoart for the map, too. So, catching back up to cache with our buddies GR8CACHERS, the geomobiles were prepped, the GPS units poised for the ready, and after a quick and delicious lunch at Appin pub, we were off!!
TFTC! We've learnt so much from doing these geocaches! A little more variety to the statistics!!

Day two of our OzGeomuster event weekend and this series was the target. Off to a very foggy start as Kyzabra, Ghostgums and I left Sydney, we swung by the event site to pick up sharkiefan, the fourth member of our hunting team for today. [^]
With a mapped plan of attack, we took took to the road and quickly ticked caches off the list, completing the entire series in a little under three hours. We only had a visit from one local, who was an elderly guy and very happy to come and chat with us, as he asked "is this the game thing I have heard about".
Thanks to all the hiders who put the caches in place, the puzzle makers, the WherIGo compilers and anyone else involved in this GeoArt. A job well done and a great morning on the trails.
To conserve log space, we signed each log book as GGKS (Gunnie69, Ghostgums, Kyzabra and sharkiefan).
Cheers ozgeomuster folk.

Found during the Mega Weekend.
A Fantastic event, seeing many friends, and making new ones - Bumping into cachers everywhere we went - a great time. First time in a swag too.. I now want my own!
It was my second mega - but the first one where I stayed on site
Caches were found, and with the exception of one or two, most were easily found and in great condition
TFTC!

Found while up at the Gong event.
Solved what we could as a team before the trip up. But I had to go out n find "the Light House art" alone.
Did have the occasional meet up with others out in the field. Thankfully some of those were when the caches became elusive to find.
Thanks to those who gave me a ton of help with the Wherigos. Much appreciated. One day I might get the hang of them.

Arrived in Sydney from New Zealand Feilding on the 5th July and early next morning headed straight to do some caching in the Mega area and happy to finally get the opportunity to collect some light house puzzle caches. a great series enjoyed by so many fellow geocaches great to have a trail and enjoy a Mega close by. Thank you for taking the time to place so many variety of caches we know how many hours it takes to put out a geoart. You chose a lovely area to explore well done. A nice quick find here today cache was all good placed back where we found it. all set for the next fellow geocacher to find. we got this the next day after a fellow geocachers from New Zealand gave us a hand.
Found with Gunnie69, Kyzabra and Ghostgums. Log signed as KGGS or GGKS.
The day took an unexpected turn and I ended up going with the guys rather than sitting around getting bored waiting around, after a communication snafu with my moody travel buddy.
These puzzles were all solved at home except for some of the wherigos where i was just a lucky tourist.
I was grateful for the ride as some of the parking spots were not safe but we were able to grab the whole series.
The morning was great fun with laughter, jokes, lollies, a pair of ripped jeans and catch ups with other cachers.
Thanks for the interesting puzzles, the series and the weekend. Tftc

#9332 - 4:52:00 PM; Originally planned to be overseas this weekend, but a change in travel plans meant I could head up to the 'OZGeomuster 2019 The Gong' Mega instead. After a productive day yesterday, andrewbt and I started off today by wrapping up the 'Mystery at Cataract Dam' Adventure Lab and then set off to do the 'Tour The Gong' Adventure Lab and Coffee & Caches Wherigo and any others that we close along our route. After completing the 'must do' list along the coast, we headed back up the hill to continue the Wollongong Lighthouse Series until sunset, which we had started on our way to the Mega yesterday. All were found in good order and were signed LL & ABT or similar. We were eligible to claim all of the challenge caches we encountered as part of the series. TFTC ozgeomuster
Day 2 of the OzGeoMuster 2019 Mega weekend in Wollongong. After swinging by the mega site and picking up sharkiefan, we made our way to Appin to tackle the WLS series. It was a morning of great fun and frivolity as we made our around and grabbed the caches in the series. When completed we headed back into Appin, grabbed some lunch at the local bakery. Then it was time for us to make our way back to Sydney and grab our flight home.
Signed the log book for ‘GGKS’ for Ghostgums, Gunnie69, Kyzabra and sharkiefan, to help save logbook space on the very busy weekend.
Thanks ozgeomuster for putting out the cache to make a great a great mega weekend!

Went out caching today with ilook4geo and Paul_the_Hippy. Managed to complete the lighthouse series with only the occasional one that took a bit longer. Met quite a few cachers along the way, which was really good. Logs were signed or stamped and we moved on. Thanks to ozgeomuster for placing this series of caches.

Today we are enjoying exploring around the Appin and Wilton areas, mainly targeting the Lighthouse Geoart. This was a fairly straightforward puzzle and a nice sized cache to find. TFTC and puzzle.
