Description
Prince Pondicherry
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.
Prince Pondicherry - a side story about how Willy Wonka built a palace entirely made from chocolate for a Prince. The Prince and Princess were living in the palace on a particularly hot day... and you can guess the rest...
This series of caches plays homage to the ultimate fantasy - owning your own Chocolate Factory - and the final reward for this series is just that! There are three sets of six Traditional Caches, each with a clue to the seconds of a Mystery Cache. Find the three Mystery Caches, and you unlock the key to the final Mystery Cache - The Chocolate Factory !
This set contains the following:
Trad - GA10132 - Mike Teevee - with the value of N
Trad - GA10133 - Mr and Mrs Teevee - with the value of P
Trad - GA10134 - Arthur Slugworth - with the value of Q
Trad - GA10135 - The Great Glass Elevator - with the value of R
Trad - GA10136 - 5 Golden Tickets - with the value of S
Trad - GA10137 - Prince Pondicherry - with the value of T
Leading to
Mystery - GA10138 - Oompa-Lumpas at S35 00.NPQ E149 06.RST
The Oompa-Lumpas have a clue leading to Mystery GA10139 The Chocolate Factory.
Enjoy !

Out grabbing some caches with GLISS! After meeting up with some of the crew at the goo. Bit of community maintenance on this one. Thanks for the cache.
Chipping away at this trail - this time in the daylight. We searched in all objects matching the hint and looked around the general area without success, so have replaced this one with the co's permission. TFTC.
After the FTF adventure on Spring Hill this morning at sunrise, I still had some time before I was expected back at home - better not get back too early and wake them 
. 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 in the open and the lid has a first crack but inside is currently all dry and good.

After a great visit to Shellharbour parkrun volunteering to as marshal I left home rather late with a full packed car for a long weekend of caching. Took matrass, boat and walking/climbing gear so prepared for most situations. Slowly made my way through the highlands to pick up pieces here and there and then a quick run towards Canberra. Most of today's planning however was just outside the ACT but close to the border . Picked up the trails around Murumbateman and then towards Hall. Got pretty warm along the day, I think I saw 38 at some point. Luckily no long walks and all caches found quick, thanks for putting them out there!

The new film is my favourite.

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.

We found this series while staying in Yass on our way to the Mega TFTC
Out by myself today as Joolay is back at work, so decided to come back and finish this seeries. Unfortunately the first one was missing and I had already done 3,4,5 and 6 but I had lost the the required information so had to do them again. It was good to gather the required information from this cache and apply it to the given formula which enabled me to find the mystery caches. TFTC Fitzy_1965. Great series. SL

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.

Went out with KittyKatch and Joolay picked to grab this little series for the SoN game. This was the last one so getting excited that we have we the last clue to work out 3rd puzzle and found quite easily. I really enjoyed this series particularly that we had to get clues to work out 4 puzzles, an awesome series and puzzles, very different to others but I really enjoyed it. Thanks for putting out and maintaining Fitzy_1965

When we stopped to look for this cache, the last of the traditional caches in this set and in the series we had a good look at the area. We noted with interest that the land on the lower side of the road was lush green grass with willow and hawthorn along the banks of a creek and well fed white beef cattle grazing on the sloping fields. In contrast the land on top side of the road was drier with open structured gums and sheeps graizing on the hill sides. We found this interesting
Cache was found without incident and all was in good condition. We had the final clue which enabled us to calculate the coordinates for the location of the Oompa_Lumpas. It was time to move on.
Thanks for this cache and the others in the set Fitzy_1965 we felt sad that we were almost done but happy with the journey and excited with the prospect of the final puzzles.

I haven't done many GCA caches, so this trail was an incentive. Started at the highway and followed the trail in order. All caches found OK. Still a little wet on the roadsides, but with care it was OK.
Thanks for the series.
Thanks for the series.

With no rain as per the forecast, I decided to head out this way after checking out a few element caches.
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.

Out today with Just a cacher to grab this series and make the most of a pleasant day. Most caches were a quick park and grab after finding a suitable spot to park and all caches were nice and dry after the rain of yesterday. Bumped into Boot65 while on the series run and had a quick chat before heading our separate ways.
Thanks for the series fitzy_165 ad our vote is for the Gene Wilder version.

Off for another short foray into the world of pain and misery (caching). Weather was much better today, though, and we stopped to eat our lunch at an oval where there was a soccer game going on. Nice to have a floor show.
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.

#GA1706 - 15:58; On a beautiful Canberra afternoon, I headed out for my third attempt to complete this series and I'm pleased to say that today, I made it to the end of this interestingly themed series. This one took a bit longer than usual as the GPSr took a while to settle, but once it did, the find was there for the taking. Now for some calculations before I head off again! TFTC fitzy_1965

Headed back out today to finish the series after deciding on another new series yesterday. No problems here and the cache was soon in hand. Log signed and I was off to the next one.
Didn't now much about Prince Pondicherry, but a quick google revealed a little more....
Thanks again fitzy.....
