No powerlines their perch shall be,
Free on the beach, they soar wild and free.

When I solved the puzzle I didn't take any notice where the cache actually was as I thought I had Buckleys of getting to find it during the MMMM. But then suddenly along came an opportunity which proves one shouldn't make dismal predictions. I was going to look for it even though it really wasn't on the way. On the way, not really on the way... pffft, not much difference there.
We turned off to look for the cache. I don't know when we were last going down this road, too long for it to be even remotely familiar. It was quiet where we parked, in fact everywhere was quiet. After a bit of a wander we spotted a likely hide with a big cache full of goodies as well as the thing that makes us do all this meandering around, The Logbook. With the photo taken and cache replaced we went off for a look around.
A fun puzzle and sensational location but the thing that steals the show with this cache is the bird that doesn't like wires. TFTC MattyRx.

I was in desperate need to get out of the house today so decided to head to the beach. At first I had no idea which one to pick. Then I remembered this cache and decided this was the spot.
After pausing to find 2 GC caches and another GCA cache, I headed to a little favourite spot of mine in the Billinudgel Nature Reserve - the little spot with 2 giant Hoop Pines and stuff hanging all over them like decorated Christmas Trees. They're just magic. Then it was on to the beach.
And what a perfect day to visit the beach! I went for a little wander through the water at the edge of the world and paused every now and again to try and see any whales out yonder, but the vantage point on the beach is pretty poor. I looked toward the Byron Lighthouse a few times considering heading up there for a bit. I like sitting up there. But when it came time to go I was feeling a bit tired so decided to just head home instead.
I found the very shiny and new looking cache easily. Lots of cool stuff in there, including a mini-lego unicorn which I was very tempted to grab because I've been a bit bored lately. I still have a bird one of those at home to do though so decided I'd leave it for someone else to enjoy.
I enjoyed the wander to the cache, the cache, the area, and the puzzle for this. Clever idea. Thanks so much Mr Rx.

Tried making this harder than it was till I realised all I’d achieved was a lot of mumbo jumbo. Solved for the MMMM, thanks MattyRx.
Currently spending a couple of nights at Lismore and day tripping from there. We have been solving puzzles for the MMMM games when not caching. Today 0ur target zone was planned around finding this cache and A Quick Response.
Once at GZ a quick find was made. A very robust cache container and well stocked cache that we were impressed with.

Had a little bit of deja vu on this puzzle this morning. Haha. Looking forward to finding this one.
I bought the world’s worst thesaurus yesterday. Not only is it terrible, it’s also terrible.
