Description

Cache has been placed to boost hides prior to "Battleships" game commencing

This series of caches has been placed for the upcoming midyear game "Battleships"  (It would be to your advantage to wait until 1 June to find this cache if you want to be part of the midyear games)

Game Period: 01-Jun-2021 00:00:00 to 31-Jul-2021 23:59:59 AEST

Play Battleships. Sink the enemy ships before they sink you!

On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing area with a number of sea tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 sea tiles making a total number of 400 possible areas you can target in your game of Battleships.

A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force. For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a sea tile and see whether you have make a hit.

There are a number of different sea tiles that will be revealed when you take a shot at your playing area . It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.

You only receive points for a hit on a ship. Alas, shots that miss a target offer no reward.

Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides. A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:

  • The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
  • The geocache was hidden and published prior to the game commencing
  • The geocache was logged on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
  • The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
  • The geocache is not owned by you
  • The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period

The geocache is one of the following types:

  • Burke and Wills
  • Traditional
  • TrigPoint
  • Augmented Reality
  • Beacon
  • Gadget
  • GeoArt
  • Multi-cache
  • Night Cache
  • Podcache
  • Reverse
  • Unknown or Mystery

Cache is placed in the Gordons Hill Nature Recreation Area, dogs allowed on lead.

Please bring your own pen and rehide as found.

Suggested parking: S42 51.212 E147 21.709  Track access off Cottesloe Court, Lindisfarne

Hello whitewebbs thank you for this cache.



Today I was in the area and noticed this cache on my unfound list so I went to find it.
After finding a close by parking spot and walking up some steps I thought to my self I've been here before.
Once I found the cache I had a look through the log and realise I had already signed the log.

I remember finding logging this cache on the 6/6/21 on that occasion as I arrive near GZ my GPSr went flat and I couldn't load the app onto my phone so I had to go off what I could remember of the hint after a search I found your cache.

Found on 30 March 2022 at 1725.

TFTC.

After a quick walk across Risdon Brook Dam we had just enough time to detour to Gordon Hill to look for this cache. Mrs Y'stassie made the dash up the hill where she was able to make a quick find of a well hidden container. All was in good order.

Thanks for this cache Whitewebbs. We hadn't been in this area before and enjoyed the views.

Hi whitewebbs

Down south early to find a bitterly cold and frosty Lindisfarne.

As I headed up to gz it seemed to get even colder...like being inside a freezer.

Accurate coords enabled a quick find with cache in top nick.

Quickly scooted back down to find a few rays of welcome sunshine.

Many tftc...much appreciated...cheers ST.

Hi whitewebbs
The need to find plastic hit strong today - it was satisfied with a few finds
The most taxing part of this cache was the climb up the step from where I parked; the rest was relatively easy
The find was quick
The cache was Sainted at 1158 hours
Thanks for a good hide
Cheers OldSaint

A heavy overcast day - but no rain as such for a little while, so decided to go and find a few caches.
Wandered around Gordons Hill, Natone Hill and Risdon Brook Dam and managed to find every cache I was looking for.
Started with Geo Kid E, but after I dropped him off I start on the Natone Hill caches.

TFTC to find during the Battleship games

Was driving past and thought I should try and find this one
