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 watch out for muggles as they can appear from nowhere, bring your own pen and rehide as found.

Suggested parking: S42 51.654 E147 21.563 behind Rose Bay High Cnr Cornwall Street and Kaoota Road or S42 51.678 E147 21.806 behind City View Motel

I hope you enjoy the series.

All hides will have you 'thinking outside the box'. The cache is not the usual box.

Hoping to collect some ammunition for the Battleships Game we headed out today to reload our cannon in preperation for firing.

An excellent Geoart series that we enjoyed finding.

The variety of hides kept us guessing and we weren't disappointed.

Many thanks whitewebbs for placing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience today.

We highly recommend this series and appreciate the time and effort gone into creating the variety of hides ClappingClappingClapping

Had a few hours to spare before our grandson's football match at Queenborough this morning so came back to finish this series. This was the first one we tackled.

Our GPS took us directly to the cache and read 3m when we found the hide. Not 10m away this morning.

Thanks for this cache And the series Whitewebbs. It was very quiet here this morning.

out and about with Lil Rafa caching for the weekend to get shots for the battleship GCA game and this was on the list to Find. TFTC TNLN log dry. . Coords may wandee up to 10 m is that what you call Rock and Roll.
 
These have been on my radar for a number of weeks but for whatever reason I have not got to them until today.
Today they were the last caches of the day but we had planned it this way and we were here well before it was getting dark unlike last week where we were still caching down passed Huonville in the dark.
So it was far more civilised finding very well made different caches in a dry and light environment.

Thank you to the COs for all the hard work that has gone into these.

Finally, after promising ourselves for weeks that we would find this series, we are here! This was the first one and we took a bit of a roundabout route to it. We'd seen a few of these today and despite being well covered I spotted it quickly.
Thanks whitewebbs

Hi whitewebbs
Thanks for a really enjoyable series
The variety of caches was impressive
All were found quickly, with only two making me search just a little longer - but not too much longer than the others
Saw a few roo as I went from one cache to the next
Only three muggles seen all day
I expended 1018 calories; taking 4673 steps to cover the 3.53km walked
A quick find here: the co-ords were good for me
Sainted at 1121 hours
TFTC, TFTS
Thanks for the fun and the exercise
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

"Hello whitewebbs thank you for the cache.

As I left the car park I recognised the other car in the car park.

This is a great series of caches this one was quickly found even without the hint as the cords are spot on.

Found on Sunday 06 June 2021 at 1514

Thanks for this series of geoart caches whitewebbs.
After a little wander around Natone Hill earlier this afternoon, the GeoGSP and I then headed to Gordon's Hill to search for this series of caches.
We parked in the car park just above Rose Bay High School and headed off. I really enjoyed this series - no two caches the same, and some hide types I'd not seen before.
This was our first search. A nice quick find thanks to the hint. Cache is all in good order.
