The 3 P’s Mowbray, Tasmania, Australia
By Tassie Trekkers on 16-Jan-18. Waypoint GA11535

A quick solve in preparation for this caching trip.
After a fairly serious uphill bike ride we neared GZ where the cache container was quickly found. It and its contents were in great condition considering it has been 88 weeks since it's had a find.
Thanks.

I only realised to day that I had not been out looking for Australian geocaches for Blitz 2019 and today was the last day...not much around, probably a couple I should have tried a bit harder to find but I thought I would have another look at this puzzle, I remember when I first looked at it I had no idea...well, things have moved on a bit, at least I have, and I looked at those three words and I realised exactly what they meant, so checked out if that was the right solution and sure enough it was, co-ordinates and a track I knew very well, so off I went and was rewarded with a large cache in very good condition considering it has not been found for over a year. At least I might get my name on the board for Blitz 2019 now!

Another puzzle solved and yet another trip to where I have been before. I should have solved all the puzzles and made one big trip around the area. I must have been so close to this one on a previous trip. I have a feeling I will be back when I solve some more of the puzzles! I must be getting fitter with all the hill climbing but don’t think I will be riding my bike up here as it is too hilly for me. Thanks the puzzles and great hides. All good at GZ

While up North for a few days for family commitments (a 90th birthday) a few caches were found and this was one of them. We enjoyed solving the puzzles as they were published during the summer games, so it is now nice to be able to log the ones we were unable to complete during the games. A nice large, well stocked cache. TFTP

I was trying to think of three other 'P' words to describe how I was feeling this late in the day: Parched, Pooped and Pleased. I was thirsty, I was tired but I was pleased with how many caches we'd found. I spotted the tree but couldn't see the cache, even when SSR pointed at it I still couldn't see it. But I had found the tree so it was a joint effort. We signed quickly and moved on sort of around the hill rather than directly back to the path. Thanks Tassie Trekkers for another good puzzle.

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.

Oh I want to iron Tassie out why is it not flat, this was found after a short search, and out names added to the log., with Goose of GooseandEgg, cache in good order, thanks.
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.

This was another familiar code so again the coordinates were soon found and the puzzle cache added to our to find before the end of the games list.

As we walked the breeze dropped and we noticed how warm the air had become. We were glad that we had brought plenty of water with us.

Again the coordinates were spot on and we were soon discussing the best method of extraction as we could not see what might have been nestled up against the cache. It was quite warm and the local reptiles may have already begun to take shelter from the intense sun. A poke around with our walking poles satisfied us that nothing sinister lurked in the hide so we lifted out the box.
All was well , we signed the log, put the cache together again and rehid it as found.

Thanks Tassie Trekkers for the cache, the puzzle and some more valuable scavenge points to add to the Tassie total.

An interesting puzzle and a creative coordinate system. Enjoyed the walk thru the scrub on a warmish summer's day.. thanks..!!
