I wasn't sure if this cache was still here but after a recent find I decided to go and find it. Once on the right track and along with the clue, it was an easy find and a great find for the Australian Day long weekend!

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.
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.

Solved the puzzle and headed off to GZ on a warm sunny afternoon. Was very mindful of our slithering friends, but fortunately the coast was clear and I soon had the cache in hand. Thanks Tassie Trekkers for a great, well-stocked, and large cache and for the educational puzzle.

We're total dills at times. We were in these parts only yesterday logging another TT puzzle cache, only to saunter off without checking our next nearest on the GPS list. So we maximised our enjoyment (& our fuel expenditure) in our return. Woah, what a gob smacking view to be had on our approach, all courtesy of those lovely Hydro chaps. Yet another TT biggie too. Although the space is lost on us being TNLN folks without kids along, it does gladden the heart to find something other than the usual smalls & micros.

Well, we found this one after a couple of false starts, including trying the wrong access point, having one number wrong and just plain not looking thoroughly enough! However, in the end all was good and the cache was found and logged.TFTC
In the area for the event this morning and had a bit of time before we had to meet family for lunch so filled it in by finding a couple of puzzle caches we'd solved during the week. TFTC
Out and about finding caches for the Christmas in July games. Enjoyed the puzzle. TFTP

the egg and I teamed up with stainless-steel-rat and TazScout to score some points for the current game. We enjoyed all 5 puzzle caches of yours this morning. Thanks Tassie Trekkers

Solved some time ago but took me awhile before I had an opportunity to search for the cache. Came yesterday but could not work out how to get to cache area. Today I tried again from a different direction and found a track up a very big hill. Eventually arrived at GZ and good coordinates lead to a quick sighting. A few minutes later after deciding on the best route to GZ and I was rewarded with a very large cache. Took the chook for my grand daughter. Cache in great condition.TFTC Tassie Trekkers

Hi Trekkers
A quick puzzle solve
The walk to GZ from the previous cache was a teaser until I got out of the long grass - eyes were well peeled for Eve Tempters but luckily not a Belly Crawler seen anywhere
Trod gingerly around GZ too, again nothing seen except the cache
Sainted it at 0822hrs
Now to trek back the same way to the car; clear going again
TFTC and cheers

We noticed this nice puzzle early on Australia Day. After a minor glitch in our calculations we had coordinates that pleased the geochecker.
Today was the day to look for the cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find, this time there was no cache guardian. It took a little circling around until we could extract the container from its hide. We were surprised and delighted to find another well stocked, large cache and a blank log giving us another {FTF} at 11:40. A good view from this spot.
Thanks Tassie Trekkers for a nice puzzle, very fitting for an Australia Day cache.
