The Summit West Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
By Dippedidooda on 25-Oct-07. Waypoint GC16YJV

I planned on tackling this cache today, but time and other circumstances delayed me. I can however confirm that waypoint 1 is in place and still useable. With a little more time I will tackle GZ.

I solved this some time ago, I think that I managed to get all but one suburb correct, or maybe I took the wrong letter from one of them. Either way I had enough information to know where the cache would be. Zozetta and I tried to find it when the cache still had two stages, but couldnt figure out where the first stage was. We saw that the description had changed today, so we decided to try and find it. I was a little unsure that we would know the where the summit was but Zozetta was quite certain that we would know, and we did. A quick find and this cache is now a smiley. A different type of puzzle than most mystery caches, which I thought was quite fun, and have awarded a favourite point.Thanks for the puzzle and cache Dippedidooda!

TFTC!! Glad to get this one finally with dencoxclan today. The walk did me good, although I puffed and panted a lot!! Thank you

Out on a jog, so checked on cache and all good at GZ. I'd kind of forgotten to check on WP1 and it might be missing - but i've decided it is unnecessary as once you know where, just walk to the summit and you'll find the booty! Have edited description accordingly.

I opened this Mystery Cache last week and decided to have a crack at finding the place names and completed all 10 in under 45 minutes (that's quick for me ) and got me 10 letters and immediately some of them jumped out at me but upon trying to actually unjumble them it wasn't quite working out.
I assumed the Summit name was correct and with what letters i had i began to see where i went wrong. It turns out i buggered up the 3rd and 6th ones. With them corrected i had the Summit name complete. (Q9 took a bit of digging also )

Fast 4wd to now...... Saturday the 4th of March 2023, i set out in the GeoMobile to the gate with the co-ords for WP1. Parked as close as i could and had a look...... a 20 minute look [:o]

No cache was found on both a ground and ariel assault search for the container. I did see what looked like an old sticker on a pole but who'd place a sticker on a pole with the co-ords when 2 Tazzie Winters would kill it and then there's the stinging Tazzie Summer sun that would make the numbers fade so i assumed that old sticker wasn't it.
A past log said "container" so i had another brief search to no avail.

Having the Additional Hint and very sure the Summit was correct i set out uphill to 'The Summit' and made a fairly quick find after i searched about 5 stumps ha ha
No Muggles were anywhere so i sat myself down and signed the log at 11:34.
Left 2 'bwt' craft pegs and returned the cache well hidden. Always nice to find a Golden Oldie Cache that's still going and in great condition... Fave point offloaded

On my way back i reckon i said G'day to about 15 people jogging and walking their Dawgs
I timed it well with the Muggle Factor i reckon [^]

Thanks, Dippedidooda for showing me a cool spot and for the calorie smash + step count
(PS: All is in A1 condition both with the cache container and it's contents )

I must have had 2 questions wrong, but it was still easy to guess which summit from the majority of the letters. I walked and cycled around here quite a lot 3 years ago when we lived just north of this summit for 5 months; currently we are staying not far from the mentioned southern gate for 2 months and I have walked past here a few times already not realising there was a cache here. Today I had another nice walk in this area, collecting 2 other puzzle caches along the way. A bit of a search at GZ as my phone initially wanted me 15 m away, but I found it in the end. Quite a few walkers/runners and cyclists around as usual. TFTC!

I loved this! A bit of a mystery and a multi! I’ve taken the travel bug! Heading north next week. I shall try and find him a new home large enough!

Looked for this one over a couple of years ago but came away empty handed. Interestingly today, armed with the same coordinates, the GPS took us to a different spot quite some distance away and the cache was found easily! Left a travel bug that we've had for way too long. TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Hi dippi TFTC .
Full log to follow.
all is well at GZ.
There's a little moisture in the container but the logbook is nice and dry.
Thanks for the adventure.
Cheers, EPs.

Had the day off today so decided to collect a few caches. We had solved the couple of steps for this cache a long time ago but hadn't been to the final location until today. Once at GZ, it was a quick easy find. TFTC and a great idea so a favourite point from us.

We'd worked out the first bits before coming to Tassie and headed for WP1 on our way out of Hobart this morning. MummyPenny zeroed in on what we needed and off we went. There's a harder way to get to GZ and an easier way. I took the harder one, which MummyPenny balked at, so she chose an easier approach. With excellent coords, a quick find rewarded us for our efforts. GZ was busy this morning with at least 4 muggles appearing one after another, but they all continued on. Thanks Dippedidooda.

What a climb!
What a view and wildlife terrific too.
Found with Baktrak , last one in Hobart for a few days as we're off to Port Arthur.
Thanks Dippedidooda

Needed a stretch of the legs this afternoon and decided to tackle this cache. Found Wp1 easily enough and got to GZ but all I found in the obvious hidey hole was an old broken ceramic insulator. I inspected it thoroughly to see if it could indeed be the cache but it didn't open. There was no container in the hollow if there was supposed to be. Will keep an eye on this one and return for another look if it gets found...

Found at 7:49 during a lovely walk in the area from my sister's place. I'd been staying in Hobart for the week and had solved the first part before leaving Adelaide. I realised I'd taken the wrong route to get the gate clue, but managed to find the cache without it. I left the park via the gate I should have entered, and had a cursory look for the clue but didn't see a sign with times on it.
Thanks for a great experience. I really enjoyed the walk, especially early in the morning.

Apart from 1 question I had no problem with the puzzle, I could figure out the missing letter.
The walk here was a bit tough but some excitement of seeing an eagle chased by currawong helped me forget that for a minute.

My daughter went to Tasmania for work business for few days and she feel like walk to park and meet geofriend for cuppa then She take my daughter drive around to find few caches... Thanks

Solves puzzles few months ago then arrival to found clue for next final but the gate was closed so will back later,
What a beautiful sunny day, Today finally make go there and great easy walking on track but wow big buff by up the hills, awesome see to Mt wellington with small snow..
continue walked to GZ, (sighs), YAY found...
sign in with good dry..
Thank you for bringing me here and great enjoyed walked keep me fit my legs..
FAV PTS for me!!! wink!!!

Worked out name of summit the other day, so with Geoson and Geodog in tow set off today in search of the gate which we found and soon located container with final coordinates of cache. A bit of a slog but eventually reached summit where Geoson soon found cache. A great outing and good excuse to exercise us all. Tftc. MattyH

Found 12/02 at 19:10

I'd looked unsuccessfully for WP1 before.

Turns out I was taking the instruction to literally, it was close by.

Went for a pleasant walk today and located the final. Cache is still in excellent condition, secure and dry.

TFTC dippedidooda!

Yay for public holidays! Extra time for a walk with the GeoGSP, so where to go? There were a few mystery caches that needed finding and this was first cab off the rank. We had visited WP1 quite a few months ago, but on that day we didn't have time to make the trek to the cache but today all was good. Cache was found easily and is in good condition and very well stocked. Just after we signed the log and returned the cache to it's place we could see a muggle in the distance approaching with another GSP out and about for a walk. As I had the contents of my backpack spread out on the top of a large rock away from the cache, pretty sure they thought we had just stopped for a snack (the GeoGSP is always up for a snack). Anyway the two GSP's said hello and the muggle and I discussed GSP-stuff, so all was good. Thanks for this cache Dippedidooda, it is a great area to visit.

This was the first of several caches that I'd solved, or nearly solved, on previous visits to the Apple Isle that I wanted to complete on this trip if I could. With an earlier than expected finish to today's work, I was able to cajole my PiC into a short walk to this one.

I was a little confused about WP1 as the sign is covered over at the moment but once that was sorted, I soon had the final coordinates keyed in and we were off.

Once at GZ, a short search had me with the stash in hand at 15:35 to open its account for 2017.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Dippedidooda.

Out and about in Knocklofty Reserve gathering a few caches that have appeared since our last visit and finding a few puzzle caches and this was number 4 of 5 we found today. Not sure why it has taken us so long to do this one, but it was a lovely day for a walk. Cache in excellent condition. Retrieved starfish TB to move on. TFTP.

Had a good go a the puzzle and scoured some maps to find the hill. A nice challenge for brains and feet. TFTC

Great views on the way to the summit. Enjoyed the walk and the clues.

I was given the coordinates to the cache location by ausandaus2 who solved this puzzle a couple of weeks ago. As they can no longer walk this terrain anymore. It was a glorious winters morning, had a great view of snow capped Mt.Wellington through the trees as I was approaching GZ. An easy find, this was a team effort to claim the smiley.
Thanks Dippedidooda from us and ausandaus2.

After doing the first pieces of this cache last year, we ran out of time to walk to the top, but today it was the first one on our list to do. Taking the back way up to the summit it was a rocky walk in comparison to the front path. It looked like rain was coming once we got to the top with the wind chilly also. Cache was found after a muggle family moved on from their unknowing position at Gz , thanks for the puzzle and the climb

Solved the puzzle quite a while back, so I knew which summit I was heading for. Didn't have the coords but cache sense led me straight to it. TFTC!

This is the hardest puzzle.
Easy to solve.
But
The only local that knew anything about this mountain suggested it was in the Western Tiers.
More locals were asked.
Still no conclusions.
A local relative that walks here every day and lives less than 100 meters away didn't even know of this mystery mountain.
The bananas would attempt it single handed.
Like all good explorers we started at the sea to make an overland trek to the wilderness.
Wallabies attempted to scare us from our tracks..... Black snakes succeeded..... Birds watched as the bananas pressed on into the unknown.
Unloved days were our reward for success with the bonus of high terraine and excitement.

Well the task was successful.
Almost.
For the treasure had been found the day before.
B2 asked B1 if they were disappointed.
Certainly not.
It is always exciting to conquer the unknown with a sea to summit adventure and return safely.

Really cool puzzle cache. Annie and I spent a while with the questions and never used google! Visited the prominent structure which was nice. Took two trips to the location as run out of time after finding WP1. Good walk. TFTC

Solved the puzzle, picked up gz coordinates from the gate, but ran out of time to complete the walk to the summit, shall return another day to finish it off, thanks

Took 27 min to get to cache overcast sky's no views but good walk TFTC TNLN great day for me

The location was guessed at from the cache description, but the puzzle was worked out to be sure. A check of the map had us working out the likely spot for WP1 and we walked in to it from Mount Stuart end. Being familiar with the area also gave us a fair notion of the final location and this proved correct. TFTC Dippedidooda

We had solved the puzzle and retrieved the coordinates back in August last year but hadn't been able to manage to target this area until now. On a very warm afternoon the Bear and the Goose headed to the summit. By the time the reached GZ, the weather was perfect and we retrieved the cache and signed the log. We enjoyed the history and the walk. TFTC.

This entry was edited by smiley_bear on Thursday, 27 February 2014 at 04:25:08 UTC.

Worked out the answers and found WP1 back in August. 6 months later the bear and I made it to the summit in very humid conditions. (It poured on the way back down). Happy to have completed this one. TFTC

After working out the first part of the cache a long time ago, we were happy to find the cache while in the area today. TFTC!

Having been working on this one for long time now and wanting a good walk again today I set off to find this one at long last. After the work done on the internet it was while before I got round to looking for the first WP and I must have visited the area for this cache a few times now, the first time I was looking at the wrong gate for the final coordinates and had to call again when doing other caches in the area to find the needed information for the final.

Then it was a long time before i got round to having a look for the final and today it was a perfect day to walk to the summit and after getting my breath back a short search of the hint items around where my GPS put me I soon had the container in hand.
For saying its been so long since its last find its in great condition, well sealed and dry as a bone, soon added my name to the log book and put it back in its hiding place.

Thanks very much for a interesting puzzle and the cache.

Found on a holiday in Tasmania with the family

Found with mum, dad and my brother while holidaying in Tasmania.

We’ve been in Tasmania about a week, and it’s been in the back of our minds to do this one. The WaywardWoman solved the first part of it before we left home. We looked for the waypoint on our second day in Hobart, but then realised that we had the wrong gate. Today was our last day in Tasmania, so we went to what we hoped was the right gate this morning. It didn’t take long for me to find the coordinates. We parked the car and I led the family up the summit. The WaywardWoman laboured a bit, although I felt rather good, having recently done a much harder walk for “Salvation Jane” in NSW. When we reached the top I handed over the GPS and the WaywardWoman made an easy find. This was one of the highlights as far as caches went on this trip. And it also allowed us to claim a fifth cache type here in Tasmania. Thanks

)- #1596- This one was a real work in progress. I spent a bit of time before we left home working this one out since it was the closest mystery to our hotel. Some of the questions completely stumped me, even with the help of google. But I’d worked out enough to be able to figure which peak. On arrival in Hobart we tried for this one but obviously went to the wrong gate. Today was our last day in Tassie and with a few hours to spare this morning before we had to be at the airport, we thought we’d try again…. To complete at least one of all the main types while here. Bikerbuddy found the co-ords fairly quickly this time, so with a renewed hope, we set off from the carpark, near the other cache. It was a warm day and I must admit, I was regretting the decision as we climbed higher and higher, but eventually it tapered off to a flattish walk. The find was surprisingly easy- thank heavens. We all enjoyed getting this one, even garks, who given the choice would probably prefer not to do any walking. Thanks for another view from ‘above the city’- certainlt different weather conditions to the sleet at Mt Wellington the other day. Took one of your recipes (only one left now) and will try it out. This definitely was the most challenging cache of our Tassie trip- it gets a favourite from me.

Nice easy find on this lovely windy day while holidaying with geodaughter and partner.

TFTC

Solved the puzzle so long ago I had to refresh my memory as to what it was about. The winter months and short days meant I had to put this one off for a while. Finally had some good weather and some extra caching time so I headed up the loop to the summit. The walk up was quite difficult and I probably wasn't appropriately attired. Once there made the find easy.

I had completed the puzzle part of this cache some time ago during my non-driving period but hadn't walked up to the next waypoint as I didn't want to have gone to the wrong gate by accident. I had a couple of hours free today and planned to go to the gate to get the final coordinates, then thought I may as well do the walk too. It was very pleasant on the Eastern side, but quite cold and blustery on the Western side. I had a bit of difficulty near GZ because my GPS batteries died, I had no spares, and my phone kept complaining about lack of Internet access. I wasn't going to give up and I eventually located the cache tucked away neatly in a nice spot. Thanks Dippy

A nice day for a walk

Nice blood pumping walk up hill on a nice afternoon. Found cache with ease and enjoyed the walk back down. TFTC.

Cool puzzle that I'm happy to add to my list of finds, GZ turned out to be the exact spot I was heading so I got to knock a few caches out in a short amount of time.

Worked out the 'Summit' before we left Perth after the owner confirmed we had all but one suburb correct.
We had done another cache closeby so headed to the required area to collect the co-ords for GZ. We were the only car in the car park when we headed off on the 800+ mt hike. It certainly was a work out for the thighs and calves and burned off any residue lingering from the Christmas festivities. Only passed one other hiker up on the way up to the Summit. GZ was quickly found, logged and returned and we hot footed it back to the car to get a well earned coffee in town. Thanks for the challenge and the workout!

The initial location-containing cache needed a cleanup before the contents could be read. After that everything was pretty straight forward and the main cache was quickly located
.
Thanks dippy for a great cache and the apple & strawberry crumble recipe. (Only two copies of the recipe remain!)

While Swampy was busy working directions to PCC#4 i picked this cache up as it was nearby.

Perfect day for a nice walk with dog keenly leading the way.

Thanks for a great cache

Worked out which 'summit' we had to go up some time ago with Katie.B and decided to have a go at it today with four-legged friend. It was a great day for it!
Found WP1 after a short search. Opened the container and it dribbled muddy water all over me!
Very nice walk to the summit and some great views. Cache was a straight forward find. As we were examining the contents and signing the log a muggle wandered by but didn't seem very interested in what we were doing. We left just as another muggle showed up bashing through the bush.
Was very unprepared and didn't have any swaps, but was also very hungry, so took dippy's apple & strawberry crumble recipe. yum!

thanks dippy for a great cache!

We enjoyed this puzzle, learning a little local history on the way. The climb to the summit was made easier by the lure of three possible cach finds at the top - this was the second. TFTC

A quick dash up while finding another nearby.

I'd solved this one a while ago - great little quiz - many of the answers i'd gotten wrong but worked out the only Summit it could have been by the remaining letters!

I'd been earlier down the hill chasing another cache with my gps doing doughnuts so decided to give it a quick break and went straight up - seeing as I unfamiliar with the hill and the fact that the Summit would actually be close to any decent tracks - well that'll teach me and I've a new walk which I must get onto with the four legged creatures sometime!

So up I head and wonder how on earth one can be a magnetic 2 litre cache - doh... )

Re-read the hints and found the cache, took a recipe - looks fantastic!

Signed log and went to head straight down the hill again to approach the other cache from above.

TFTC

Worked out a few months ago. Confirmed the mountain with dippy. Great cache.

I solved most of the questions from local knowledge and learned a few new facts about the names of our suburbs. Afgter a solid, sweaty walk up on a calm day I quickly located the cache. As I was logging my visit another walker came along and he was intent on giving me a 30 minute history of West Coast mining. I guess I was a captive audience as I couldn't leave before him - the cache was still in my hand. A pleasant return walk by a different route. Thanks for the cache.

Hi Dippi, Three people have been a great help to me in my efforts with our sport and you are one of those three. As I approach my 500th find I decided that it would be appropriate for the last three caches in this quest be set by those cachers and finds be dedicated to the three. Each cache had to a good challenge! Hence, I climbed the summit this morning and had the thrill of the find at 0742hrs, greeted by specky views and a great sunrise (see pic) to log my 498th cache find. It was then a quick decent to have a game of golf with red tag. Thanks for your help, friendship and some great caches. Cheers for now OldSaint.

I solved the clues a while back, then it was a while before I got round to visiting WP1, then another couple of weeks until I walked to the summit one morning before work to make this find.
Very peaceful.
TNLN
Thanks!

2 years and 3 months ago I posted a note when this cache was published. It read: "OK, truth is it may be some time before I actually get out to this one, but I had to say while it was fresh in my mind what a Hoot it was to work this one out! We are so lucky to live in a place with so much local history! I learned heaps, and wanted to thank Dippedidooda for the thrill of the "hunt", before the thrill of the hunt!"

Can I just say that the Hoot continued, as I had the opportunity to finally find this one! What a great cache! Another Dippedidooda special: a great aerobic workout, bringing you to a great place (that I am embarrassed to say, I've never been to), and a hide that is in the "right place"; well hidden to muggles, but in the obvious spot for cachers. I love your work! TFTC!

I worked out the solution to this one nearly two years ago but laziness has menat that it wasn't until today that I retrieved it.
Great little summit, nice walk and a grateful find.
Thanks Dippiedidooda

Didn't take long to find the answers and then I set off. Probably should have walked from the back yard but drove to the starting point instead. Lovely day for a walk, sunny but not too warm for climbing that hill! Left nothing, took "Masters of Cache" geocoin.

I did my Tasmanian homework a couple of weeks ago and this afternoon set off to find a likely summit on which to find this cache
The geomobile was left a bit of a distance away (near another cache) and I strolled up to the gate to find the coordinates I needed
It didn't take long to get to the summit on a sunny afternoon
Nice views of the lake and town far below from up here [^]
TFTC and exercise.
I took the C.A.R. travel bug and the Blind Acorn geocoin.
I left the Oct 2006 Geocoin Club geocoin

I was pretty sure I knew which summit it would be, but did a few questions just to be sure (thought I should have just read some of the previous logs as they totally give it away - come on people, use some discretion!).
I've run up, over and round this summit many times, so I picked the track that gives the best views and took my time. Cache was found nice and easy with minimal searching, just the way I like it. Thanks for the cache Dippy, this summit definitely needed a cache.

Thought about going for an easy Sunday stroll and then decided against it and did this cache instead! Surmised what Summit this might be without working out the clues and went off to WP1. Grabbed coords and trundled off up the hill passing several wallabies and an orange lizard of somesort. Enjoyable cache, TNLN, TFTC )

Well of late I have been placing a few caches and not finding many so I thought that I should remedy that. So I have hatched a plan to take Millie and Mrs pjamesk for walks after work.
So tonight with GPS’r already we set off from forest rd. Rather than park at the top car park in case we got locked in, turned out to be a good idea.
Millie hasn’t been on many walks in the bush so this was going to be interesting and Mrs pjamesk doesn’t like walking on rough tracks. But all was good first I thought we would get Hobart City views and then go onto The Summit, I had worked this out ages ago. As we are going up the hill I went past what I where I thought Hobart City Views could be but the gpsr still said another 350 metres so I pushed on up the hill. By this time Millie is looking at me saying that she has gone far enough and Mrs pjamesk is saying that it better not be much further. But you know what it is like the gpsr says only 280 metres more that’s not far we’ll make it back before dark.
By the time I got to the top of the hill I realised I must have the wrong coordinates for Hobart city views so I push onto this cache and found it easily. Then we set off back to the car as it was getting dark and I didn’t have a torch. After me dragging Millie up the hill she dragged me back down. Got back to the car as it was getting dark and well past the closing time for the gate.
Thanks for the cache Dippy.

Found this one on a lovely spring windswept day with a smattering of a shower in the air.
Dropped off 2 travel bugs which we retrieved from our own abortive cache nearby but failed to remember to get the tracking numbers off them so can't log them into this cache sorry. Next person please grab them for us and log them to yourself?? Coins are "Geodetic Center Geocoin with a blemish" and "Australian Adventurer 2007".TIA!!

Another great cache, thanks Dippy. Naturally we took the long way around - when faced with two roads, the DDTs always seem to manage to take the longer one!!! T shamrock pencil and Love-piggy TB L frog pencil.

And, we meant to add that we dropped off the piranah geocoin and CAR TB and also took a recipe (which we look forward to trying out)!!

We'll get this right in a minute . . .dropping off coin and bug!

Managed to find this after several false starts due to WP1 being missing. Now that it's back in place, and the day was a perfect winter's day, we decided to do the climb. Views were terrific through the trees. We were surprised by the number of muggles who had also made the climb. TN. Left Love-Piggy TB. TFTC

Nice little puzzle, and not too much trouble working out which 2 I'd got wrong when unscrambling the anagram

Followed the arrow after getting frustrated with the track so it was quite a ride up and back. Did this one on dusk and got some great views along with a great start of a sunset after yesterday's awful weather. TFTC, happy but sore after my walk.

Waypoint 1 has been replaced. Hope it stays put this time.

Oh dear, read log on return to Hobart, so when ducking out for milk, checked waypoint with coordinates for cache location and sure enough, it's gone. Will replace soon. Sorry DDT's.

Thought that we had collected all the necessary information - with the assistance of the web - but ended up with one letter that didn’t seem quite right. Not to be deterred, we headed off to the area that we thought was indicated and hunted for the cache coordinates – but to no avail!!! Surely there isn’t another possible anagram – or is there???? Or are we just suffering from cache blindness??? Hmm, how near is near anyway??? We considered walking to what we thought was the summit that we were going to (as we had been looking forward to the walk – actually more to the walk being finished!!) but then common sense prevailed and we went elsewhere!!!

A very long a hard walk up hill. Took car toy left fashion apple. Thanks.

I solved this one when the cache was published but only just got out to log it. I used to walk in this area quite often however haven't been here in a while for some reason. I had my suspicions of where it would be, so when I got to the top I had a look and had it without turning the GPSr on. The biggest challenge with the cache was getting the lid back on as it was so well stocked!

Thank you very much for this one!

Decided to continue up from Book Exchange...quite an easy walk from there.No hint...but found easily..then admired the great views.The mountain looked inviting...but not today.Kept recipe to try out...sounded yummy.Cache well hidden and all ok.Now over the hill to Hobart City Views.TNLNSL TFTC Dippy...Cheers

Rated: for Overall Experience

A good walk up the hill. I have not spent enough time up here to fully appreciate the location. Great to see it is a dog friendly place so we will be back for more walks here. Picked up Nemo TB and left nothing. Thanks Dippy

The walk up the hill was very enjoyable. An area that is all new to me. Thanks Dippy for the cache

Wow it actually happened..... I managed to do a puzzle cache without needing Mr Red Tags intellect!. My self esteem has been somewhat restored even though it was only a two star difficulty .
Loved the walk, great company, perfect weather and at GZ the bonus wasn't a set of steak knives it was one of Dippys recipes .... which I hope I can do justice.
I just have to stop caching and return to my duties as housewife and remember where my kitchen is
Left 3 little cars and took recipe. Thanks again Dippy!

When the usual Tuesday night activities were cancelled due to lack of interest, I decided to go caching instead.
Sooo, I find myself looking at doing 2 or 3 for the evening and I thought I'd start with this one.
I had the area known for about a week or more, just not time to get to the second waypoint. Now I have the information, off I go. Hmmmm, I might do Odd One Out when I finish this one - text to find out where OOO is.
Somehow missed a turn off and ended up taking the long way. With 130croms to go, it was time to go bush and just follow the arrow (the arrow is my friend).
Arrived at GZ and started looking, found easily but great camo on that one Dippy.
T recipe L nothing (love that dish so I had to take it) Thanks for the evening walk.

Found this one when I was Mrs Cheesy Pig. I have struck out on my own and am now logging the caches I found in my previous persona (but not the ones found only by Mr Cheesy Pig of course)! Let me know if you would like me to find it and log it again but under my new name.

WOW! What a most excellent cache!! After working out the coordinates while holding Dippedy hostage the other night, we finally got to this cache.

Well! What a brilliant walk! Extremely unfit cachers may have stopped once or twice (ahem) on the way up, but while catching our breath - the view was magnificent! Lovely bush, parrots, crystal rocks and views of Mt Wellington made the walk to this cache so enjoyable!

The coordinates were spot-on, and the cache was filled with great swaps, but as we only had a LED keyring torch, we swapped that for a cake eraser. Mrs CP may also have stolen one of Dippy's favourite recipes as well.....

AND another cache was snagged on the way back!

Thanks Dippedy, we really enjoyed this!

Thanks Dippy for the great concept. This was a lot of fun - except for the effort it took to get Freddymjt and Gee-oh to the summit itself (it's a bit rich of Freddmjt to claim the FTF after all that!). I totally agree with SG-3's comments - I learnt some fascinating history doing research around the clues (although I'd pretty well solved it from the three answers I already knew with confidence). In addition to the regular crew, we took this opportunity to bring along first-time junior cacher, Speedy, as well as the Reluctant Geocacher. On the way up we followed a fire trail from the south, and on the way back we enjoyed the views coming back via a much more pleasant northern track. Thanks for the well planned and well stocked cache.

Left Mr Potato Head Jr TB, bubble mix, and a moth (I think?) and Speedy took the very cool Grow Your Own Dog.

Sog knew most of the answers without any research.
We set out knowing it was too late for a FTF, barring some sort of minor miracle, which didn't happen. Took recipe and replaced one TB with another. Thanks Dippy.

Yippee. FTF for Freddymjt! What a wonderful cache. Good view. I tired myself out going up the hill, but I found the cache easily. Thanks Gorbak for working out the puzzle. Good swaps and good cache Dippy. My favourite thing was the expanding dog.

OK, truth is it may be some time before I actually get out to this one, but I had to say while it was fresh in my mind what a Hoot it was to work this one out! We are so lucky to live in a place with so much local history! I learned heaps, and wanted to thank Dippedidooda for the thrill of the "hunt", before the thrill of the hunt!
