GA20000 Queens Domain, Tasmania, Australia
By Budgietas on 14-Feb-21. Waypoint GA20000

After completing several caches along the Domain Joggers Loop including the necessary ones to find this cache, I was heading for the final and the phone went. There was an urgent delivery at work so I had to cut it away! However, as soon as the delivery was done I snuck back out and went back to the Domain to find this one! TFTC!

In July 2021 we found the first two caches in this series but had to log a DNF on Series 3. Consequently we could not generate the coordinates for this cache. Today we returned hoping to find the Series 3 cache (although the last log was a DNF) but with a backup strategy in case we only had two of the three sets of data. Thankfully we found the replaced Series 3 cache and so we were able to generate the coordinates for this cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks BudgieTas for the cache.

When will GA30000 be published? Our guess is that it will not be in the near future.

Hello Budgietas thank you for the cache

Finally managed to find your cache.

After getting all the information needed we returned to GZ for this one where the cache was quickly found.
Thoroughly enjoyed this series and our short ride around the loop track today.
Thanks Budgietas.

Wasn't on my to do list until this morning when I thought what can I do for a couple of hours while I wait to pick up my father from day surgery. All the required coords where gathered and onto the finally. Congrats on the 2000th ga cache.

little Lewis was more excited by the dead frog than the cache, oh and elmo joined us too

Once I had collected all the information and picked up the quiz cache, I started heading to the final cache in this series. And here comes the rain.
Found the cache after a shortish search but managed to get wet enough to fog up all the windows in the cachemobile whilst I'm logging the series.
A couple of muggles jogged past me and then I found it.
TNLN, thanks for the cache Budgie.
PS the night life around here is running very early today - so far 3 cars have stopped and looked at the fogged up windows. Only one person got out and went for a walk!

well TFTC TNLN log dry. Thanks for replacing the third cache Budgietas, while talking to Lil Rafa, she mentioned that number 3 had been replaced, so I stopped here on a shopping trip before going back to work tomorrow, a cool clear day just what you want for a small walk. I got to the GZ of number 3 and read the hint and found out I had to revisit the other two caches to find the GZ for the multi, so on the way back I called in and gathered the info.

Back in Hobart and this series was on our to do list.

Enjoyed the walk and the challenge of solving the puzzle.

Many thanks Budgietas for creating this series and congratulations on being awarded the 20000th cache.

Congratulations on being awarded the 20000 cache hide. We were heading out today for lunch to celebrate our 41st Wedding Anniversary and decided to find a few newly published caches. We enjoyed the series and soon had the words solved to find the multi. Very cleverly done. A lovely walk on the domain. TFTM

I can't believe I found this based on cachers tuition. I had no idea what any of the words were or how to even get numbers from them as no letters had u or y on them. This puzzle was way too confusing for me so I gave up, then thought where and how would you hide this. So with no coords I checked a number of locations and found what I was looking for just as I was going to give up. Maybe not the most conventional way to find a cache. But I had no help and my name is in the logbook, so I'll take that.
Congratulations on being awarded the 20000 cache hide.

Hi Budge
Congrats on being given the honour of hiding the 20000th GCA Cache
I enjoyed the walk from each and back to the car
The thrill of the find is always good
Tracks were busy here this morning

TFTC and cheers

Righto, final calculations completed. The checker wasn't happy but we were pretty confident we were at least close so we went to look anyway. We found the famed cache at the second place we looked.
Well done on GA20000 Budgietas.

I'm glad my girls came with SSR and I to enjoy it too.

A bit of impromptu caching on a Sunday. But how could I turn down the chance of FTF on GA20000!
I didn't see the notifications for these until about 40 minutes after they came out, but after a quick look and seeing they hadn't been found yet I messaged Goose to see if he was on his way to find them already. Discovering that he was still at home I offered to pick him and his girls up as I was passing and we could all try for a FTF on this iconic geocache.

With all the info in hand we went and found some shade while we worked out where the final would be, we were on the right track from the start so it didn't take us long to come up with some coords for the final, these were checked with the checker but it didn't agree with us so we reworked it and came up with the same answer. Knowing that one of the methods used in this puzzle can provide differing results we went with the hunch we were correct enough to find the cache.

After a short walk in the afternoon sun we soon found ourselves in the location with a couple of spots that looked right and as it turns out the cache was found in the second one.

Thanks for the FTF on this iconic 20000th cache.
