Found with Kittykatch on the way home from the Geomuster. We came for the beacon cache and also managed to score this one as well. Lovely to meet TeamMerlin.

Joolay and I decided to drive home from the GeoMuster via the Hawkesbury River and we are so glad we did. What beautiful country and it was great to meet TeamMerlin on his home turf. Many thanks for your help with the caches - it was lovely to meet you.

#GA2327 - 10:42; Day two of the Macquarie mayhem cache hunt with Sol de lune and andrewbt. After a big day one with 56 out 59 finds, we were optimistic about another successful day two. A few cold ones, a few logs and a few more claims for the States of the Nation game set the scene for a good night's sleep and a spring in our step as we packed up and hit the trail again today. Hope the CO's are enjoying all the Karma points rolling in as we get through our logs . This was our third podcache for the weekend, so looking forward to tackling the beacon cache and a couple of gadgets which are on the 'to do' list to complete the set. TFTC teamMerlin

3rd of our Podcache finds for the weekend and no problems once making the find once at GZ. Great to see these newer types being placed. I really hope, that like your Gadget type, these ones are more frequently as well.

Thanks for this one TeamMerlin. Recommended.

Sorted this one fairly quickly (I was prototyping a similar Podcache down here, but never got to it)

Got some things, figured "hmmm, I bet you I know what to do now", and the details fell out!

10 of 35 today. TFTC TM!

I had looked at this but was unable to work out what to do. After a hint from the CO, MrT got half the info, but then we ran out of time as I wanted to head off to Ebenezer to do the ones planned. I dropped MrT off for a bushwalk, and started caching. By the time I got to Ebenezer, I had a message from the CO with more information. Did some other caches first then headed to GZ. Parked then headed off and cache was located. Signed log and cache was returned as found. When I got home MrT was sitting on the computer and he had worked out the coords on his own. Our second Podcache for the day. Thanks for the help and TFTC teamMerlin.

A big day around Sackville collecting 6xGC and 18xGCA caches.
I really like these podcast caches. This one took a bit of work to solve but nothing a bit of perseverance couldn't manage. Nice quick find.

I did the numbers at home and MummyPenny wandered off to find the cache while we were standing around chatting about wine and caches. Thanks teamMerlin.

Well today was a day of firsts;- First reverse geocache, First podcache, FTF on a touchable GA cache!

I was driving out mainly to have a go at the reverse cache & gave Lucky1955 a ring to see if he wanted to come too. He did!

2nd of two podcaches today. Thanks for all the effort TemMerlin

Out with Celtical for an afternoon of caching in Ebenezer, primary reason was the new reverse cache, but with a number of stops whilst chasing that one we collected a few other caches. I had results of two podcaches and a number of mysteries worked out during the past week. One of two podcaches this afternoon

I had an idea what I was looking for but no idea what to do with it after that! Eventually I found a web site that helped with the first bit but the next bit was really hard! In the end, I swallowed my vanity and the CO gave me the right words to google. As a D4, it still took me a while to get the right choice to give the final GZ and I went out this morning to thank teamMerlin and find the cache.

Yeah! All done but now I don't know which scavenge to claim it for as it fits the bill for several different needs

Starting to get dark and after speaking to the CO while he was going home and I was heading here made sure I had the right spot to look. I then proceeded to look behind the wrong gumtree after walking passed the correct one first. Realised the error of my ways and went back to the correct tree. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the puzzle teamMerlin

The first of the caches the CO helped me with today. I do have the decoder needed for this, as I needed it for a puzzle cache in Cessnock.

Thanks Team Merlin. And thank you to the cute little girls for their chatter

Needing this cache for the Summer Scavenger Series was able to obtain the file and with a bit of further assistance managed to get the needed coordinates.
On a hot afternoon headed out as it was not too far away. Made a quick find of the well camouflaged cache and signed the log and returned as found.
FTF 3:30pm my first Podcache

Another cache for the Summer Scavenger Series ready to go - enjoy
