Description
Mike Teevee
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1964 children's book written by Roald Dahl, with a sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator released in 1972. A third book in the series was never completed. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been made into 2 movies, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) starring Gene Wilder, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) starring Johnny Depp. They are both favourite films in my household. I'm sure we all know the story about the 5 Golden Tickets and the tour of the factory - as well as the interesting characters and of course the Oompa-Loomps and their quirky songs.
Mike Teevee - found the fourth Golden Ticket. Obsessed with TV and (a) in the 1971 version with westerns and guns, and (b) in the 2005 version with shoot-em-up video games and technology. A smart child - bought only one chocolate bar to find the golden ticket after working out the 'algorithm' to their distribution. Furthermore he doesn't even like chocolate - somethat that sets off Grandpa George very funnily ! His TV obsession leads to his downfall in the factory. The Oompla-Lumpas had their say about him...

. So I did a number of GC and GCA caches along Nanima Road whih I had missed on earlier trips. Thank you for this big series Fitzy! A great effort. I very much enjoyed my morning joy ride out here. Most of the caches are still in good shape, a few are waterlogged and I will try to mention them here at the end if that is the case.
This one was total mush inside.

Enjoyed this series that kept us on our toes collecting clues and collating them right to the end. Even though a couple were missing we still managed to work out the mysteries. Dug this one out as it was well covered - log book is saturated but managed to make our mark in it.

Found with Kittykatch and Darzee Di on a SoN GA finding day. Very interesting series and appreciated the effort the CO has gone to. We did do a bit of back and forwarding but eventually worked things out.
After admiring the wombats work we located the well hidden cache container and found container and contents in very good condition. We noted the clue that we would need tolocate our family favorites - the Oopma-Lumpas. With everthing back in place we headed back to the car and the short journey to the next cache in this set.
Thanks for this cache Fitzy_1965 we are looking forward to finding the Oompa_Lumpas.
Thanks for the series.
Hence I started this series from the northern end and did have to add a few extra kilometres to complete them all, but a very pleasant drive in the country. I even got to have a chat with Just a Cacher and Black Bunny during my travels, so an added bonus.
Thanks Fitzy_65 for the fun and the cache.
Thanks for the series fitzy_165 ad our vote is for the Gene Wilder version.
Thanks for putting these out, FITZY_1965! It was a pleasant drive and fun to find them. We even ran into (not literally) Boot65, whilst we were out and about.
Thanks again fitzy.....
An easy find, and an easy park.
Timing finding between cars today was a PITA though. oh well!
TFTC Fitzy!
