Logs
We had planned to do the 3 caches in the area last night, so that we could complete our "Traditional Night Podcacher" trophy. So armed with a torch we arrived at the parking area, we decided to do the night cache first then do the other 2 caches in the area.
after completing the night cache in the area and we headed along the trail to find this cache, we had raised our difficulty of finding this cache by trying to find it in the dark, but armed with a good torch and our trusty GPS off we went along the walking track, once we were in line with the ground zone we looked around with our torch to find the best way to get there, then we spotted a path which would lead us to within 2m of the ground zone, then with a quick look using the hint the cache was soon discovered and the log was signed and placed back into its hiding.

Thank you so much 2y’stassies for introducing us to our very first PodCache, in our quest to find as many types of GA caches that we can in a day on your beautiful island.
The podcast worked extremely well, the message was clear for my deaf old ears, and slow enough to be decipherable.
Plus the adventure of a small walk in the woods with Muggle Hubby to discover this great cache.
Thanks ever so much for bringing us here to have fun and learn something new.

Getting close to the end of my day....had a dinner date to get to...but still had time for a few more. Parked in the obvious spot and took the walk to GZ where the cache was found after a bit of digging around. Cache and contents all good.
As for the Podcache....what a beauty. Did what was required and listed to everything to ensure all the info was noted. Hopefully there will be more this type of cache published over the year...just for something different.
Thanks for the fun 2y'stassies. Yep, Recommended...

Out and about caching on a beautiful autumn day trying to take advantage of the 5x points during the Commonwealth Games. Working out the coordinates on this one stumped us for a while until one of the kids suggested a suitable ap to use to nake sense of the sound file. After that it was a relatively straight forward find. TFTC and the puzzle
Catching up with some logs I missed while on a caching trip in the Northwest with GooseandEgg. Sorry I put them off and then lost my fieldnotes.
Thanks for another great cache.

Sunday morning arrived a bit cool and overcast but that wasn't going to stop us from getting on with our plans. We headed out to shale cliff first and did a couple more before arriving at Marconi's Language for my first podcache. Again, I had a program to assist with this one, it just took me a while to remember that.
After parking we followed a good track and then stepped onto a smaller geo trail. With a bit of fossicking we found out first big GCA for the day (and my first podcache).
No time to hang around and celebrate though, our list is long.

Great hide, fortunately busted knees did not give too much of a groan. TFTC 10 high fives
We had tried to solve this podcache when it first came out and were struggling. As we were in Launceston we played it to Mr W's Dad who turns 89 in March. He had worked on a ship as a radio operator and when he heard the message, he translated the correct information first go. A great podcache, our first. Located a large well stocked container while in the area today TFTPC

Our sole mission today was to find this cache. Our 1st podcache- it took us several goes to decipher the message, but the geo checker finally agreed with our results. Pleased to be able to claim this one for the Summer Scavenger Series 2016/17.
Once at GZ the well stocked large cache was soon found.
Thanks 2y'stassies for creating this cache and giving us the opportunity to experience a podcache.

Wasn't in the right frame of mind initially even though I knew what to do. listening to auudio at normal speed would require years of practice so used an app to slow it down, it was still difficult but persevered and came up with coords that checker thankfully agreed with. Glad to see an empty log so will claim FTF...even more special than normal as was my 300th FTF....so darn chuffed and boy...what a great cache to do it on too.
Thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle and cache too....coords led me straight to gz....magic start to a day....don't come much better.
TFTEC 2y'stassies.....wont forget this one in a hurry...cheers sirius....oh dear...I can hear Sherlock calling...lol.
