# 21627. The puzzle solver Robmc has had these done for a long time now. While the weather is still pleasant and with all the autumn colour in full force we decided to team up with Chewinprickles and have a nice ride and some harder walking to knock over this series.Not on the side I was expecting so had to wait for the GPSr to settle and then follow the others. Another good hide, names added and back to the car.Thanks Ronice88

Drove to the first few of these caches before resorting to Shanks pony for a few more. Impressed with the size and detail in many of these hides. Thanks again Ronice88

Chewinprickles, BettyBoo3747 and I decided upon today to try some of the F.L.A.K.E. puzzlesSo we loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Harrietville.We had solved them all when they first came out, but had not got around to look for them. We had to look at the puzzles again as so many of the hides were well themed.Nice puzzles and great hides for this series.An interesting lid inside the cache container (another good sized cache)Thanks, Robmc.

We had solved these caches bit by bit when they came out and what great puzzles they were! We had asked our niece about the weather up here and she said it can be warmer in summer and cooler in winter so we waited thill the weather was cooling down a bit in Melbourne and on the spur of the moment on Saturday we booked a place for Mon-Thur! After taking pretty much a whole day to get here yesterday and catching up with our niece late arvo there was no time to do any caches here yesterday so we made up for it today!! We headed north out of Harrietville and this was the next cache for the day. Cache was a nice easy find in a very pretty areaTFTC Ronice88 - GJMMelb

After a couple of days walking out and staying overnight at federation Hut , Mt Feathertop with Purplepeopleater. We had a go at doing caches around Harrietville and surrounding areas. With Puzzles solved and traditional cached to get, it made for a busy day of easy and not so easy terrain ratings. I will be back another day to finish off some of the ones we missed.

Down in the Victorian Highlands for a couple of days hiking and geocaching with DKMakka. Perfect weather and a welcome relief from the Sydney humidity.Solved the Flake Series in anticipation of our trip, and enjoyed the well themed and innovative puzzles. A lot of work has gone into the caches themselves and it was great to discover some monster size caches mixed into. An excellent series and loads of fun (and effort) Thanks Ronnice88, I will be back hopefully sooner than later to this wonderful area.SL TFTC

Found at 11:54 AM GAFF3.Took a bit of searching to find this "Large". Finally found it at a distance of 10 metres from GZ. A nice big container,Thanks to Ronice88

I was honored to get a mention from Ronice88 in this clever little puzzle. I found with this one with kbucky while out on an early morning adventure. I loved the special edition found in this cache and I have to give this one a favourite point for another imaginative puzzle and container

The Snow Flake! I was a bit late to the party with this new geoart and needed assistance with most of the puzzle solves but I managed to get a few to collect whilst in town with the geokids this long weekend Awesome work with the hides again Ronice! Big caches are something you do so well! And the kids appreciate it!Lots of hard work has gone into the creation of this series. Thank you! Its a beautiful place to go searching for caches in.

The day was starting to get away from us after our grand afternoon out up her chatting at the event and picking up some of the pre-solved puzzle caches.These last 5 were solved by the Queen on the fly this afternoon and when we picked them up we were surprised that we were only second to find on them.Each one was found OK in a really cool spot.Loved the different containers that the CO puts out up here, better than a sistema thrown under a tree.

Found. I was in Harrietville chasing some FTFs and this was near some of them so I found it as well. An easy puzzle that I managed to stuff up on my first attempt. Knew what to do but used the wrong data for myself, no-one to blame but me, I should have known better. TFTC
