Description
Its all in the words.
The cache is not at the current location.
The location is interesting, I had not been out in the area before and it was nice to have a drive in the country.
I decided to do a take on the word Mount Fairy and so did a word search puzzle about mythical people and creatures.
You will find the word search in the Gallery.
Container has log book and has room for trackables and/or swaps. Please replace in original hiding place.
You may wish to find the other caches along this road.
GZ not too far away.

Today I am out on a mission to find enough GCA caches to finish off the Battleship and hopefully the Patrol boat too in the current GCA game of Battleships. All caches that were found were in good condition and the logs signed. Thanks for this cache Joolay. Mission accomplished for Battleship but will not know about the Patrol boat until I have finished logging and then firing off my shots.

Black Bunny and I went out for an afternoon drive with our geo-puppies. The weather was fairly iffy, but the caches were fun.
Good find. Dry log.
Thanks, Joolay!

Out and about with Tassie Trekkers finding caches and this was one puzzle we had solved prior to our visit to the big isle. Happy now to finally have a smiley face on the map. A lovely area for a drive. TFTP

We enjoyed the wordsearch associated with this cache. It was one of the puzzles we solved last winter when we had decided on our route to the Parkville event.
It took us a little while before we located this well hidden container. Darkened lens make peering into dark holes difficult. After removing her sunglasses Mrs Y'stassie spotted the container but had to call on the other team member to open the lid. All was well with the container and contents and no unwelcome guests emerged with the container.
Thanks for this cache and its associated puzzle Joolay. It is always nice to find a good sized cache container.

**The Cache**
Log signed and replaced in it's hide'y hole.
**The Day**
I don't really have a *The Day* log on this occasion as this was more of a family camping trip to get in a little camping and swimming before school goes back, and as it's been occasionally cold and mostly super hot in our neck of the woods we have not done much over the holidays . Combining camping and swimming seemed like a good idea, so we ventured to Braidwood for four nights. It's been a disastrous trip for us, a caravan blow out and the wheel falling off due to the other half forgetting the nuts need tightening, and then a flat tyre on the car heading through Mt Fairy Rd, followed by a torrential downpour between Tarago and Goulburn and I couldn't see the road very well and nowhere to pull over with a caravan on the rear. The farmland around Goulburn was flooded, rivers had risen, and the streets were severely flooded !! Never seen anything like it there. I am most disappointed that after all the effort I went to, to solve all the caches around here and intentions to collect them, this is the only find as we had to abandon the quest.

Back out this way again to finish some unfinished business. No dramas with the puzzle and the cache was soon captured.
Thanks Joolay for the cache and the fun.

#GA2251 - 12:55; Headed out with andrewbt and Sol de lune on a 'States of the Nation' mission across the border into New South Wales to plunder some treasure which has recently appeared around Mt Fairy. The plan was hatched with abt at a recent event and after the return of Sdl from OS the finer details all came together and today was settled on to head off on the scavenge. After a wrong turn early, we were now rolling along the dirt roads pretty well. There were lots of big words involved with this puzzle, but this obstacle was clearly overcome in preparation for our visit today, as we managed another quick find once at GZ. TFTC Joolay

After a bit of time away it was time to head out and start grabbing a few of the new GCA caches with LuckyL10n and AndrewBT for the current Summer Game. Puzzle was solved last night in prep for our day out and once at GZ, the cache was quickly found.
Once the cache was replaced, we were off to the next one and a few more points for the ACT.
Thanks for this one Joolay.....

12th of 26 today. Out with LL and SDL for the SotN comp. Hopefully some more points coming our way
Kittykatch, Joolay and I went out to hide some some caches for the SoN game and wow what a day, 12 out there to help with the game. Waited to log find until someone got the FTF to be fair. We had a great day and lots of fun and some tough decisions about the puzzles. We each tested each others puzzles to ensure they worked and the FINAL coords were correct. TFTC Joolay.

Three of us set out to hide some caches for the State of the Nation game but held off logging the cache until the FTF was completed. So I am claiming the cache now. It was so much fun exploring this area and hiding the containers. Great to get some more GA caches out there. Thanks for the cache

Joint [FTF] with Goldenwattle. An animal had moved this into the open. Did my best to secure it in its original position.
Found on a drive in the area. TFTC.

These puzzles are not hard to solve, but they do take time . Amazing then when scanning for the letters how they can be missed, but eventually had the coordinates . (Slower, more speed .) I am always impressed by their creation; now that would have taken time . *FTF* with Decrypter. TFTC Joolay.
