Description
An "Old School" Slide Night
The cache is not at the published location
Well this may take a little explaining!
I have "recovered" (a few years ago) my old slides from about 1975. They were taken with my 110 Kodak camera (see here for how small the film was and here for my camera).
I spent a lot of time at Eaglehawk Neck, as our family had a shack there.
So enjoy the old pictures - Be warned I have many more!

It was a short search and we were soon adding our names to the log.
thanks for yet another great cache Spreyton22
An opportunity today to make the find after a nice little walk
Thanks for the cache, Spreyton22 !
Thank you for the cache
Had trouble trying to get the right viewer to see the pictures properly for this cache. A good friend told me what programme to use and that certainly made it easier to work out the puzzle.
Enjoyed the walk to the cache today.
Found and replaced it at about 1530hrs.
Enjoyed the cache thoroughly.
TFTC and cheers

It took a very long time but eventually the coordinates were retrieved and the puzzle solved.
Today I enjoyed a lovely morning walk to retrieve the cache. Thank you Spreyton22
Hardest pic by far for me was "Lake Pedder". At one stage I almost gave it away, but the perseverance paid off...thoroughly enjoyed.
Well - at least until a few of the slides completely stumped me.
Working through some logic and a bit of guessing later, I was able to work out what the missing co-ords were.
So with a couple of new cachers in tow (they hadn't chosen a name yet) we went and found the cache. Co-ords seemed slightly off, but the clue made it easy.
TFTC!
Tricky little puzzle....had to wear the strong specs!
Accurate coords.
Many thanks Spreyton22.
