Found by the VIIPERS. There may not be snakes on Norfolk Island, but now there are VIIPERS. We are V(al Cybergran V) I(an icybeetas) I(an Riddell) P(am weirdobiker) E(velyn SciFiRulz) R(onice Ronice88) and S(ylvia Riddell who is with us in spirit.)Arrived at the reserve a little early for my event so took the opportunity to find this cache beforehand. A quick find. The locals picnicing nearby asked if we were geocaching which we confirmed. This is a very beautiful spotTFTC
Visiting the island with a group of friends from Victoria and Tasmania. We have called ourselves VIIPERS, using our initial letters of our names. This was our first full day on the island and we started early, getting a few caches before I held an event at Anson Bay. It was the perfect opportunity to gather the information for this Earthcache. Answers were sent in by icybeetas and permission received to log. This is a very beautiful spot and the geology lesson was easily understood and interesting. TFTC

We are V(al Cybergran V) I(an icybeetas) I(an Riddell) P(am weirdobiker) E(velyn SciFiRulz) R(onice Ronice88) and S(ylvia Riddell who is with us in spirit.)Took a little while to work out where the cache actually was as I went around the outside first. Dropped off a TB that I have had for a little while to continue it's journey.An interesting bit of structure left, which seems a little random sitting there by itself. TFTC

Lovely views, although I actually preferred the view at Anson Bay. TFTC

The attachment of the cache was different to what I'd seen before, but was very effective. I might have to use the same method sometime. TFTC

We ate our lunch in the Botanic Gardens, such a tranquil place. TFTC

I really enjoy this type of puzzle so had a lot of fun solving it. TFTC

I could see it from one side, but had to reach for it from the other. Then down the road a very little way to the other end of the property where we just happen to be staying. TFTC

We are V(al Cybergran V) I(an icybeetas) I(an Riddell) P(am weirdobiker) E(velyn SciFiRulz) R(onice Ronice88) and S(ylvia Riddell who is with us in spirit.)We headed up to Mount Pitt to collect some Traditionals. We quickly realised that it was better to collect the caches coming down the hill than going up. We made it to the top and found this one, then checked out the view from the lookout. TFTC

Made me jump, but still better than coming across a snake. TFTC

We appreciate having some quick ones to do, as we are trying to complete the challenge of making all the finds on the island. TFTC

My tablet claimed we still had about 5 metres to go, but icybeetas said "where would I hide a cache around here?" and spotted it straight away. TFTC

It's definitely not in Sydney. TFTC
Attended my first event that I have hosted overseas. Nice to see all my friends there as well as the local cacher. We had a nice catchup in the sun, and were even more blessed by one of the locals who came over and offered us some delicious coconut bread for Thanksgiving which they were celebrating. We had a very interesting talk with her and her daughter about island life and education.

Then I wandered into the church. Those stained glass windows are magnificent, especially the one above the entrance as you come in. TFTC

Then we did some calcultations and made our way to GZ for a fruitless search. Luckily others in the group worked out an alternate and correct method and the cache was found. TFTC

We are V(al Cybergran V) I(an icybeetas) I(an Riddell) P(am weirdobiker) E(velyn SciFiRulz) R(onice Ronice88) and S(ylvia Riddell who is with us in spirit.)I had completed the Wherigo and managed to copy out the coordinates for the cache, but accidentally deleted the detailed hint before I had copied it down. At GZ I was trying to remember what it was, as the tablet was struggling to pinpoint it. We wandered around and checked lots of places, and had just about given up when we decided to check again and luckily the cache was spotted. TFTC
26-Nov-24
Attended our first event on the island. It was a chance to catch our breath and meet up with the local cacher after our slightly late arrival this afternoon. Then we all headed off back to our acommodation for some much needed sleep after a very long day. Thanks for hosting this event Riddell, and we wish Sylvia could have been with us too.
Found on the way to Norfolk Island by way of Brisbane. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get the photo, as we were on a shuttle bus from our acommodation to the airport, but it stopped here to let off some passengers at this end, before dropping us further along. While they were unloading their bags I quickly hopped out and snapped a picture. It was a bit foggy this morning, but the sign was well lit.TFTC
Found after arriving on the island late this afternoon with a group of caching friends.We had dinner then decided to find a cache before our first event this evening. By the time we got here it was dark so photos were taken by torchlight.I started the morning with a virtual in Melbourne, so a virtual as the first find on Norfolk Island was a nice choice.TFTC
25-Nov-24
Found with weirdobiker on the way past heading to Melbourne. As we were heading past and weirdobiker was working on a streak, we had to stop and make the find. A little bit of toing and froing until we zeroed in on GZ, then a quick find. A little difficult getting the bag out of the cache, but I eventually persuaded it to come out. Signed and replaced as found. TFTC
24-Nov-24
FTF. Found with PapaGrouch on a little Sunday afternoon drive. I had seen the cache get published earlier in the week but waited until PapaGrouch could come too to make the find.We had a little wander along the road collecting the required information from the signboards, then made our way to GZ for the easy find. A few years ago we were coming to Jingellic regularly when PapaGrouch was playing cricket with the Jingellic team, but it has been a while since he played, so our trips out here have been a lot rarer lately.TFTC

Found with PapaGrouch. The final of three Brain caches found today. This puzzle was a bit of fun to solve.A bit of a bush bash to GZ, then a bit of looking around until PapaGrouch spotted it. Then the retrieval took a little while, his hands aren't the steadiest. The return went a little more quickly. Another fun cache and another favourite point. TFTC
Found with PapaGrouch. I had been working on this puzzle for a quite some time. I had the first step completed for a while but hadn't managed to work out the next one. A friend nudged me in the right direction and the cache was solved. Today we went out and made the find. I picked up one of the travelbugs to move along. TFTC
Found with PapaGrouch. This puzzle was also solved with a few hints from friends. Some parts I got myself and others I needed a nudge. A bit of a bush bash to GZ but once there a quick find. A well themed hide to match the puzzle. TFTC
27-Oct-24
Found while accompanied by Cybergran V on a bit of a maintenance run. The idea was she would chauffeur me around and I would find the caches, she would see if any maintenance was required. That lasted as long as it took for us to hop in her car and find it had a flat battery. Take two. Now I am driving with her directing me where to go. Had a fun few hours picking up caches around the area. Don't ask me where I actually drove, I was lost after the first few turns.This was another not owned by my friend but was a clever older hide. Found the log not actually in place so replaced properly after signing. TFTC

Don't ask me where I actually drove, I was lost after the first few turns.This was the first find, it took me a little while to open, some joker left the numbers in another possible combination that had me tricked. Then I stuffed up the closure and managed to drop the cache into its hiding spot but it came open and got stuck. Luckily the CO was able to retrieve and sort it all out.TFTC

I collected the required information last night as we were picking up fish and chips, then as we were driving around we stopped for me to make the find, only to find there was no cache there. After having lunch I replaced this one with the new container supplied by Cybergran V who is looking after it. Now it's time for me to leave Shepparton and head for home.TFTC
