All good as found it booked marked with another podcache on sound cloud along with quite a few others. I now have the coords.
Number two of these types of caches completed today. I’m extremely happy to find it and log it.
Also, today I wanted to find this Podcache for the Journey or Destination - 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.
1.Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
2.Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
3.Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
4.Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
5.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.
So, A BIG thanks for the Podcache and the fun of it. TFTC / TFTH / SL

Our first Podcache! We were given instructions at the New Years Day event so were able to get the coords. Heading to Ebenezer for a morning of caching and this was along the way. Managed to park nearby and soon had cache in hand. Signed log and returned as found. Always fun to do something different. Thanks Splitty Miller JJCC.

#GA2296 - 14:50; When the States of the Nation game began, a plan was hatched for a group of ACT cachers to take a trip north to the Hawkesbury on a scavenger raid. As time passed the group's numbers dwindled, but with a bit of work solving puzzles and a few things rescheduled, our merry band comprising andrewbt, Sol de lune and I set off on a damp Canberra morning to try our hand. A recent visit to Canberra by cachers from this area provided an added incentive, so we could repay the karma points we gained from their visit. A successful day it turned out to be with 56 finds and only three DNFs. Nice to collect another podcache, enjoying the variety and hoping to collect the last three cache types I'm still to find on this trip. TFTC teamMerlin

Enjoying the Podcaches...great to see more of then appearing in the game.
Another solved before we left home so it was a simple matter of getting to GZ and making the find. Once our names were in the book, we were able to head off to the next cache.
Thanks Splitty Miller JJCC.....enjoyed the solving. Recommend.

A big day around Sackville collecting 6xGC and 18xGCA caches.
After my marathon effort with a reverse cache, I'm happy to make a quick find here.

Got a bit of help from phlphotos for this one. Pretty much how I manage to find about 80% of caches in this region of Sydney. TFTC

We needed to find a GCA podcache as the only one in Tasmania at this time is ours. We had followed the instructions and acquired the coordinates for gz. All was quiet when we pulled up. It took a little push and shove to remove the container but it eventually came free. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for an enjoyable cache SPLITTY MILLER JJCC

After the event at Tizzana Winery grabbed this one on the way out. I had solved for GZ a while ago but didn’t have the details with me so had to listen to the sound bite to get the coords. Remembered roughly where it was so got close. Parked in a nearby turning & gave myself about a 60m walk. Once at GZ it was a quick find as the cache was uncovered. Signed the log and replaced as found but added some cover. Thanks for the cache Splitty Miller JJCC
