Description

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. 

After hiding countless gnomes in this park, I have often marvelled in the tall trees and crunch of needles underfoot. A small piece of forest in the suburbs. Bats can be heard at night, galahs and other birds during the day. The purpose of this cache is to explore my horizons in hiding caches. This will be my first Mystery Cache. I had some inspiritation from another in the area using a type of cipher. 

To find the coordinates you are required to solve the Vigenère Cipher puzzle. Go here to build your Cipher [http://www.counton.org/explorer/codebreaking/vigenere-cipher.php]

The codeword to build the cipher is the name of a black and white dog, known for being energetic and used for herding sheep. This you will need to guess for yourself. 

The cipher to break is: [THYUIVVKZDXEDSKKVVGRZENSVFELRVUSGPVIPBVRRVHWGPATBQVISLTSTRPXECKWLIGSDPDIOTFXV]

I have enabled a coordinates checker so if you have A) Guessed the Codeword and B) Decoded the cipher, you should have your exact coordinates of the location of the cache. It is within a 2km radius from the displayed coordinate point so you won't have to travel far from GZ.

Any issues let me know

Fun watching the puzzle be unveiled. Found it was easy enough to solve without the keyword. Difficult part was finding the cache, even after reading where chwiliwr put the cache it still took awhile Evil or Very Mad

Came by today with the family. Found cache in the open well away from where we had GZ so put it back where we thought it should be at the base of the common trees in the area west of the two other types of 'trees'.

Thanks for the cache.

Was checking cache and couldn't find it. Knowing this one had a tendency to wander I wanted to be sure. It looked like someone else might have checked the area recently as well. This cache will be disabled and I'll think about replacing it.

Out enjoying a beautiful day. Thank you for opportunity to practice decoding a cipher.

After today's Farewell Firnsy event I stopped by a few more caches on the way home. This was one of them, and it was a very quick and easy find here as the cache was lying out in the open. I tucked it back in at the base of the tree 10cm from where I found it.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache Shaydex!

I didn't see this cache published at the time but it wasn't logged so solved the puzzle and went for a drive and started searching GZ.

All I can say is once I was informed that the cache had already been found I came home again. Don't think I will be back.

Saw this cache published just as I was putting finishing touches on the page for one I'm about to publish myself. Saw how close it was and that it was a type of puzzle I was familiar with ... soon guessed what type of dog it was and had the coordinates a couple of minutes after receiving the notification and decided to go for it in spite of the weather. Took me a good 15 minutes to find the cache and eventually found it very close to where I started the search ... and where my GPSr kept leading me back to.

SL @ about 10:20pm. Thanks for the hide Shaydex
