Description
This is a puzzle cache originally hidden by Mix on 19/04/05.
The puzzle is as originally created and the cache container the original as it stnds the test of time. New log book has been placed in it and a new listing created here so feel free to claim FTF or refind the cache. The paths in this reserve are not posted and are overgown or undefinable. Please be prepared with a decent GPS and clothing and footwear to wander through long grass and bush. The park is bounded by roads so you can find your way out eventually without a GPS if you don't go around in circles. Remeber to mark where you entered the park. Given coordinates are at a good entry point to this geocache and a few others.

Fiddling around with the puzzle years ago didn't achieve anything so it was put aside, possibly with a note to self to leave it there. But puzzles have a way of surfacing when you think there's a good chance you'll be passing by so I looked at it again. Time sometimes works miracles with puzzles.. it did with this one. Solved it in a way I wasn't expecting. I liked this a lot.
We walked to GZ.. a bit wet in one place, got a few burrs and MrG's experiment showed he really was the target of a free-for-all feed for ants... but a too easy find once at GZ. The cache was laying exposed out in the open. Without a hint we didn't know where it was supposed to be so we made a hide out of a piece of dead limb that was wedged in the ground close by.

I really wanted this cache - for the unloved and the current Battleship game.First I needed help to gain the correct coordinates so thanks to PAF, he knows who he is. Then came the real challenge. It has been raining since before we left home at 6:15 am and the track I wanted to walk along was a raging torrent, just a slight exaggeration, ok completely exaggerated, so by the time I got back to the car my shoes, socks and trousers were soaking.
The pain was worth the effort though as the rain stopped as I approached GZ, the cache was found remarkably quickly and the unloved is quite a BIG bonus. TFTC NO_TOMORROW. SL TNLN

Checked on cache today. Doing great. It's crazy how this is the old commander from the original barcode cache and it's doing better than my "waterproof" PVC one nearby. Haha.
Had this puzzle solved before we left for this caching trip to the 'big island'.
Took the slight detour from the highway as we headed north and parked near the gate. Mr Beetle waited with the van while I walked to this one.
Was nearly at GZ when I heard a vehicle approaching and tried to hide behind a tree but obviously I wasn't clever enough and the vehicle turned around and came back. There were 2 young muggles in it and they wanted to know what I was up to so I explained about geocaching but made sure they didn't realise how close we were to the cache. They offered to help me find it but I explained that I already had.
It was then that Mr Beetle, fearing for my safety when he saw 2 dubious looking characters driving in, appeared.
I think that they were quite harmless despite the ute, the dog on the back and the tattoos. And this was a good one if they did look up geocaching as it was a puzzle cache, so they wouldn't just be given some coordinates.
Having a real day of muggle interference today. Thus only 5 caches at quarter to 12 despite an early start.
Thanks.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon caching around the Wongarbon area and driving around the Beni State Conservation Area.
What a delight it was to find some nice, big, well stocked caches. Reminded us of finding geocaching.com caches a few years ago.
Sadly many these days are just mint tins, micros or devoid of any swag for the littlies
We had an extra bonus too because this was a puzzle we could actually solve
Many thanks No_Tomorrow for hiding these great caches for us to find

#GA3285 - 17:10; A plan was concocted with Sol de lune to hit the road for a few days to try and work out whether it really is the destination or the journey. We hit the road early on day one as we headed for Dubbo via Canowindra, Manildra, Yeoval and Narromine. After a couple of stops on the way through Canowindra, then Manildra, Yeoval and Narromine, we were now in Dubbo to wrap up the day. Collected a few caches around town and then headed out towards Wongarbon for a few in that area. Parked near the gate and headed off through the damp scrub. Did a quick solve on this one before we set off from home and managed a reasonably quick find on arrival at GZ today. TFTC No_Tomorrow

Off on a 3 day road trip with LuckyL10n up to Narromine and Dubbo on day 1, then through Dunedoo, Gulgong, Mudgee before hitting Bathurst on day 3.
A neat little puzzle that fooled us at first, but then LL cottoned on and the co-ords were soon in hand. Grabbed today while walking round the area.
Thanks NT....a puzzle idea that I'm going to steal....

Arrived in Dubbo today and so many new GCA caches to find where do we start? After rescueing a collection of moveables trapped by the spell of the Evil Emperor this one was another on our list. Managed to solve this one in the car on the way and another quick find,

Out for a wander this weekend with Just a cacher and decided to drop in and grab this cache while we were in the area. A quick find here today (and a *FTF*) after a pleasant stroll to GZ.
Thanks for the cache and the little puzzle No Tomorrow.

Out and about with Black Bunny doing dragonny-type things. I saw these come up earlier, and planned our route to allow a closer look.
Joint *FTF* with Black Bunny.
We found the log book empty, but sopping wet. I suggest a different idea for cache container for this one.
Thanks, No_Tomorrow!

Found archived cache. Reviving it here. Original container. New logbook. Some small swaps - some original, some I added. Ready to be found again.
