Description
The cache is NOT at the listed co-ordinates above.
This geocache was placed to assist Tasmania in the 'States Of The Nation 2017/18' summer game (Go Tassie!!).
Amongst many other challenges, geocachers are required to hide and/or log a Mystery or Unkown cache, with points being awarded for size (the larger the better), difficulty, terrain etc.
So with that in mind, here's a large puzzle geocache!
If you are not playing the game, well just have fun finding and logging the cache as per normal.
Once the puzzle has been solved (check with GeoChecker), the cache itself is a large plastic container. Get in quick as LARGE containers are easily muggled.
Also in order to prolong the hide as long as possible, it would be appreciated if you can cover the cache up again as best you can when re-hiding.
The cache can be found at...
S41 (The Reptile Room)(The Austere Academy). (The Bad Beginning)(The Vile Village)(The Bad Beginning)
E147 (The Ersatz Elevator).(The Vile Village)(The Vile Village)(The Ersatz Elevator)

Have fun!

GZ is starting to get overgrown with the prickly type, but this will help keep the cache secret
A comment to stainless steel rat on Thursday night turned into a plan rather quickly over the following 24 hours. After a later than expected Friday night I dragged myself out of bed while the clock still started with a 5, Urgh!
My first stop was the Rats Nest to pick up stainless steel rat and after loading his things in the car we departed at 6.05am. Our first stop was Mood Food for coffee and to find some lunch to throw in the esky for later, followed by a much needed stop at the train park in Perth (to offload the coffee), then it was on to the house of TazScout for another round of coffee.
We spent the whole day caching in various parts of Trevallyn Reserve and then picked up a few other caches as we left there late in the day. We found traditional caches, puzzle caches, a trig point, some moveable caches, a pod cache, a reverse cache, a beacon cache, a gadget cache, a night cache and a multi-cache. We also found a cache of EVERY terrain type from an easy T1 right through to a ‘fun’ T5.
After a late dinner in town, we returned back south with a couple of fresh air stops on the way. After dropping stainless steel rat back at his nest, I arrived home at 11.45pm absolutely exhausted.
This trip was a spur of the moment thing only first dreamed up on Thursday night, GooseandEgg wanted to clean up a few new caches in the North so with the weather looking good for today we left home at 6am and got back home at 11:30pm. Thanks for great day out.
We had solved the recently published puzzles in this part of the state so targeted nine that were in close proximity and a reverse cache. This one was the first on our list. We were interested in the topic of this puzzle as we were not familiar with this series. After consulting Wiki we soon had a solution that the geochecker agreed with
While Mr y'stassie answered a phone call Mrs y'stassie headed off to look for this cache. She had not been off track in this area before and after a close encounter with a very active little snake in a stump yesterday she was being a little wary as she made her way through the grass, blackberries (it will be a little while before these will be ripe but they look as though they will be nice and big) and debris. Accurate coordinates soon had her at GZ were she found a nice large container well stocked with items our two older children love. Container and contents were in excellent condition. After signing the log we replaced it as we had found it taking care to make sure the covering material completely hid the container.
Thanks DaFiChNi Team for the puzzle, the large cache, the SOTN points and the simply but very effectively hidden cache. It was a great cache for our 4000th GCA cache find.
Not familiar with this series of unfortunate events so had to research some information to solve this mystery. Another well stocked large cache with accurate co ordinates.
Many thanks DaFiChNi Team for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience.
