Description
ehcacoeG esreveR
For information about a reverse geocache visit the Geocaching Australia wiki. https://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Reverse_cache
Use your smart phone with GPS enabled to find this reverse geocache.
- Click or tap on the link "Reverse Geocache Tracker" in the Actions area of the geocache listing page.
- Give permissions for the Geocaching Australia website to access your GPS.
- Note: Geocaching Australia does not use your co-ordinates for any purpose other than calculating the distance to the Reverse Geocache.
- Take a note of the distance that the geocache is from your current location.
- Move in any direction by half the distance shown and "Refresh the page" to see the new distance.
- Note: You may only take a reading every two minutes, so be wise with your choice of distance and direction and remember that your GPS will never be 100% accurate so small changes in the distance may be evident.
- Continue to plot distance from each point taken until you can determine the direction to hone in on the geocache codeword location.
- Once you are at the location the codeword will be provided for you to unlock the geocache and additional information may be provided as to where the physical geocache is located.
The geocache is an 850ml clip top container containing a preform tube (giant test tube) and a 3 digit combination lock. When you are within 10m of the geocache the final co-ordinates will be revealed along with the code to unlock the combination lock. Use the final co-ordinates to locate the geocache. Take the box over to the seats nearby. Enter the code on the lock and press the silver button to undo the combination lock. Make your log on the log sheet (pen included in the container) and close the combination lock. Please set the combination to 000 for the next finder.
I hope you enjoy this ehcacoeG esreveR.

Well this was a little bit of different fun.
I took a few different readings at a few spots.
This could be right I thought.
A little closer to an approx gz and I was digging round here and there.
Soon enough I discovered the trigger point.
Then a little confusion set in what to do here.
A quick read of the cache notes helped me out here.

Today we spent our day geocaching in the Caroline Springs area, This was one of 28 finds. Having solved this one before heading out we were happy to make a quick find. Cache and contents are in good condition. Swapped pathtags and returned cache to it's hiding spot.
Many thanks Caughtatwork for the effort gone into creating this cache, we enjoyed the hunt for this one.

Temporarily disabled while construction works are underway. The cache appears to be in no danger and will be reactivated when the fence is removed.
As mentioned in our log this cache appears to be in a construction area surrounded by a VTF.
It may need to be relocated

We had added this cache to our to find this as it was another that would enable use to fulfill another research task requirement.
We were surprised that we were given the final cache information after one try. Off we went excited to look for the container.
When we reached the hide area we were confronted by a VTF cutting off access to the cache. Our GPS was indicating that the cache was 11m behind the fence.
As the area was deserted we walked the length of the fence but there didn't seem to be any way in. We were leaving when we noticed a small gap between the corner of the building and the fence. As there were no signs forbidding access one of our team popped through the gap, found the cache, liberated, signed and replaced the log then the cache before coming out the way he went in.
Thanks for a very good reverse cache caughtatwork. You might like to check the area and relocate the container while work is carried out. It would be sad to see such a good cache lost to constuction work.

The difficulty here was not so much in the 'finding' of this cache, it was most definitely in the 'replacing' the cache. 
Arriving nice and early and the carpark had only a few vehicles within. Whilst signing the cache at a nearby 'structure' a few more cars showed up. One of them parked a few bays from the GeoPrado and the driver merely sat there! Still sitting there... Oh well, time for a bit of a wander and perhaps snap a few photos.
Returning to the carpark 15 minutes later and... yep. You guessed it. STILL SITTING THERE! How inconsiderate.
Eventually I decided to move on to find a few other local treasures and as I started my car, so did the muggle. Why didn't I try that sooner?
A quick dash to GZ and after making sure that I wasn't being watched, the clever cache was tucked away neatly to await it's next finder.
Thank you for the ehcacoeG esreveR, the #FTF# and pathtag and the fun little adventure caughtatwork.
Well worth the drive over from the South Eastern suburbs.
Now it's time to look for a few more local treasures whilst I'm in the area.
Oh yeah, by the way. As I drove off I realised why it was so busy in this area.
The facility across the road is currently a COVID vaccination centre.
