Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. 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 ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. 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.
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
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 has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you 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 unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills
Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)
Traditional
TrigPoint
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced
The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)
The geocache is one of the following types:
Moveable
Traditional
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.

Hello Ryan00 thank you for the cache.
Out and about caching with EeePees in the Launceston area while JunEeePees was at training.
EPs found your cache very quickly as he walked past the muggles getting there photos taken.

Up North for a few days for family commitments, grabbing caches here and there and this one was a quickly found using the hint, after we took our first ride on the inclinator. We went to replace the nano log as we knew it was full, but unfortunately our nano log wouldn't fit so the nano still needs a new log. The Basin is always a beautiful spot to visit and we haven't been in here for years. TFTC

Lots of people at the Gorge today and we had to wait our turn to get near the cache. Thankfully due to accurate co-ords and a generous hint, the cache was quickly nabbed, signed and re-hidden before you can say inclinator. Thanks Ryan00 for organising this cache.
Edit - Meant to add that the log is full so we took a picture as proof of the find.

A day out with SSR and Goose&Egg, was fairly quiet near GZ so didn't take us long to pick this one up. Logbook is full.
I had actually found this one on a previous search but I had no pen, and I decided to finally get back and log it although I put in the wrong date! TFTC.
BTW, log is full, really full.

#GA887 - 11:05; Back in Tassie on family business, so the opportunity to collect a few more of the local caches was too good to pass up. I had collected a couple as I made my way to this one. It was again familiar territory, having spent quite a bit of time here when I was attending the Matric College down the hill. A nice quick find, buit the log is full and I didn't have a replacement with me sadly. TFTC Ryan00

Starting to work my way through the Aussie caches. Thus o e was a quick and easy find for a nano. Log is full and needs to be replaced. I did squeeze my name on it though.

Stood and watched as the "thing" went out of sight, then found the cache with no-one around. Neat little hide at an interesting spot.
Thanks again Ryan00

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Finally feeling well enough to cache, Mr Felix declared today was to be a full day out and about.
So having been in this area for 5 weeks we decided today was the day to visit Cataract Gorge and surrounds. Funny day overcast and cool 1 minute sunny and warm the next so jumper on jumper off was the big game of the day! [:o)]
We made a swift find here and then walked on. But on our way to the chairlift we had a ride in the inclinator!

Luckily the inclinator was closed for servicing so not too many muggles around while I conducted a short search. I quickly had the little sucker signed and replaced.
Thanks Ryan00 for the cache.

First ever find! Thanks. It took a little while as I seemed to time it at a busy part of the day. Great view. O ring is cracked but container seemed to seal okay anyway.

TFTC great autumn day in the gorge. Did not realise anyone could ride the inclinator
No problems here. A quick find after a ride up on the inclinator. Surprised it's free!! Thanks.
Always worth a Visit. only just started picking up Aussie site caches. All ok TFTCRated: for Overall Experience
Zal and I spent 10 days touring Tasmania and it was the most amazing trip ever! We got engaged at Cradle Mountain and saw so many wonderful things. Even the weather played nice most of the time 
Thanks for the hunt, it is always tricky logging lots of holiday finds so apologies for the cut'n'paste log, Zal included more details

Glorious day at the gorge with a much smaller than expected crowd. Great to see the density of GCA caches in Tassie. Grabbed this one after a walk around the lake.

All deserted at GZ , allowing for a decent search, which was just as well, I don't know how you'd manage this one if there was a line up ! 
Thanks for the cache, Ryan00 !
Thanks for the cache, Ryan00 !
Had a momentary disappointment at first as I interpreted the hint a little too literally & looked in some rather awkward spots. Then the cacher's brain kicked in after I thought about times & OH&S and all sorts of important stuff like that.

Right where it was supposed to be. There wasn't even many people around as I signed the log as best as I could. TFTC!!
We had ridden The Inclinator some time ago just to try it out. Today we really appreciated the device as Mr y'stassie's mobility has slowly deteriorated and any movement up or down slopes or steps is quite difficult. We can certainly fully appreciate the value of The Inclinator to visitors with mobility issues. A ride in The Inclinator certainly gives great views of the First Basin. The hint and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Ryan00.
Today we targeted caches that have been placed whilst we have been away and this was one of them.
A well placed cache that was found between muggles. A beautiful day in the Gorge.
Thanks Ryan00 we found 12 of your caches today

Found this one, had to walk away as ambushed by muggles whilst approaching GZ, when did find nearly dropped log down crack in floor.

A quick find at GZ with the aid of the hint. Didn't even know this was here. Will have to come back one day and try it. TFTC
Good chache, found it fairly easily
The hint is a but missleading though.
