Well I had solved the puzzle for the special souvenir when I got the email a week ago and so needed to find an area to cache where there would be at least one cache fitting the criteria. Now, a new challenge cache just out requires me to find at least 4 types of large caches, and I only had 3 types, so this cache was the closest large multi to home. I was very keen to find this cache, and made the trek up the hill. I found the tool first. Hmmmmm okay....the mind boggles as to what I might need to do to the cache. I headed up towards GZ, and came across a stash which was NOT the cache, but being close to the cache I had an ominous feeling. Found the cache, yeah, some low lifes saw fit to rip it from it's home and open it sans tool Sad. It was lying open. Obviously the contents were not valuable enough to steal, the log book, stash note, pencils etc were still inside. Despite this, it is still a favourite find, even if I didn't get to use the tool.

What a great cache. The use of tools is very clever, as it how they are hidden. Another Wingaap classic. Fav point.

Found BOB Today thankfully the rain stayed away! Nice one TFTC

Oh Wingaap! I enjoy your clever caches and sense of humour. And so glad I didn't beed to use the supplies you provided except for the reason you intended. Tftc Smile

Came down from Toowoomba to grab a few caches along Mt Nebo road. This was fb03s and my first find for the morning. After finding the correct tool we headed back to the hide and hade a small struggle but managed to get to the log. The container is now sadly a resting place for a largish cache guardian. Great hide and TFTC wingaap

Ah Wingy, you never disappoint Smile. I walked to BobH from Brisbane Forest Park along the fire trail, the forest is stunning at the moment - I've attached a photo for you to see how lovely it is. First thing to find was the tool - okay this is going to be interesting. I made my way over to GZ and realised what I needed to do - this is going to be fun! I would love to share my adventure but it would give too many things away, but I did manage to extract the log without too much trouble and add my name as another lucky person to have found the cache. Oh and I did have fun! This was a special one for me today, as it was the last cache I needed to qualify for the Know Your Local Cacher Challenge mystery cache (GC5FENX) at Toowoomba - there was no way I was not having Mr Wingaap on my qualifying list. Thanks Wingy for another awesome effort - as always a fave point for you Big Grin

I grew up in Brisbane but have long since moved to Canberra. I'm up for a few weeks visiting the family and high on my list of things to do was go for a cache run along Wingaap Drive. Unfortunately I didn't come with any favorite points in the bank but will definately by handing some out to many of the caches along here as these are probably the best collection of caches I have ever done.

I was a toss up between this and 'On a Dark Knight' as to what was my favorite for the day, but this was the most fun! It seems some previous finders have tried to open this without the tool but everthing still works well. After having a look at GZ I made the short treck to retreive the tool. I have to say, the hardest part of the cache was pulling the tool out. Once I had the tool there was a few minutes of findling until the cache was open. Awesome idea and well deserving of a fav point when I have one to give. Thanks for this cache and a great day of caching Wingaap.

One thing Scattsmadhouse like to believe is that we are usually well equipped for whatever we find. This cache however we did not have the required tool for the job and were grateful that a tool was provided nearby . The cache had a family of guardians protecting it from the inside . Log signed and TB collected . TFTC

Set a few goals for myself this year - challengey/statistical type goals mostly, and still got a couple to polish off. Large and Multi being two key categories. So, I headed out here to play - tick and tick. And it's a Wingaap creation so I knew I'd be wow'd. You do not disappoint sir. Another favourite to your collection. As is usual, photos can't be added here, but I took a few. I do not know where you get your ideas.

Turns out a usable tool sits in my standard caching kit, so I made short work of the multi-bit. Muchly enjoyed that. The construction is just amazing. And a tremendous tribute to a great bloke.

Thanks for placing this cache, Wingaap. Found in good condition.

I had visited this cache a while back, and the tool was missing back then. So in my efforts for obtaining a cache of the day and following the Wingaap drive, I made my way over here with the geodog. Back in a familiar spot, I soon located the tool - hmm I know what these are - and carefully eeked it out. Along I went to the container and I was able to open up and sign the log! A very nice little multi and a nice walk for the geodog. TFTC wingaap

Out with Selva Girls today doing her choice of caches, and what great ones she chose. We found WP1 and proceeded to the next location, only to be a bit baffled by what we found. All became clear when we returned, however and realised what was required. Thanks for an extremely cool cache wingaap Big Grin

Stortigirls and I were out to find some caches. As the youngest of the stortigirls was initially supposed to join us, I had decided that some wingaap caches would be fun to find. Unfortunately, she had a last minute change of heart and the adults were left to have fun on their own.
This was the first cache of the day. We strolled along until our phones told us that it was time to leave the track. The cache was quickly spotted at GZ, but where was the tool? We soon spotted its hiding place too. It took us a while to retrieve the tool, but once we had it, we headed back to the cache. The tool made it easy to retrieve the key and open the cache. We signed the log then relocked the cache. The keys were rehidden and the tool returned to its hiding spot before we made our way back to the track.
 
05-Sep-15
Last wingaap cache of the day to find, with everyone that I planned to get now logged away. Went to the container first to get an idea of the tool required.

Headed downhill to the WP, focussed on something small, knowing there could be numerous spots it could be held. Wandered around the WP and found a well masked hide. I wasn't expecting the tool that was uncovered!!

Long story short, tool helped to recover the log for signing then returned the tool. TFTC wingaap
 
22-Aug-15
parked the car and followed the path in. I decided to head for the tool first and figured it wouldn't be that hard to find. oh how wrong I was. I then realised I had NO idea what kind of tool I was looking for and should probably go and look at the container and see what kind of tool was required.

found the cache container very quickly and had a good look at it and had an idea of what I might be looking for (a lot smaller tool than I thought id need). headed back to where the co-ords took me for the tool. had another look around and spied something I had earlier looked past thinking I needed something much biger. nope there the tool was. hmmm well that's not what I took I was going to be using as a tool. how on earth am I gonna open the cache with this. oh well... back to the cache I go.

got back to the cache and could clearly see what I was going to have to do. with item needed to open the box soon in hand it was time to open the cache and reap my reward.

with name in book I closed the cache making sure no tools were left inside. I went and replaced the tool to its location and then headed back out. definitely a fav point from me. very awesome!! TFTC
 
09-Aug-15
Yay we found it! Second time back, first time was at night and we didn't realise you had to look for tool separately and we're looking at base of tree instead! Woops... TFTC
 
02-Aug-15
Enjoyed finding this one today. Clever design! TFTC
 
02-Aug-15
An awesome sunny day for caching and Dawesy321, Genyo and I set off across town to the Enogerra reservoir and Mt Nebo areas.

As far as multis go, this was a doddle and after a bit of jiggling at the WP to extract the tool… Dawesy321 with an eye glued to the peephole on the farside, we sorted out the cache and soon had the logbook in hand.

On we rolled…

TFTC Wingaap!
 
01-Aug-15
Genyo, Ms Maddy and I had this cache on our list for the day so we made our way to where the tool was, retrieved the tool with a bit of difficulty then made our way to GZ and found the cache. Fantastic design. TFTC!

Out and about on another beautiful Brisbane morning. Love your work Mr wingaap.
 
31-Jul-15
My first cache for the day out this way. I had been looking at these on a map for a while wondering what the best access was. After stopping in at the information centre looking for trail maps i saw on an insert that there may actually be a fire trail which suited my requirements (as it turns out you can't get maps of the fire trails according to the person i spoke to). Decision made i would walk and follow the theoretical paths. This means i get to do more. \o/.

Now i've finally found a place which shows the trails, i think there is possibly a better track up to here to the one i took - talk about an incline!!!

Once at GZ i had a look at the cache before retrieving the necessary tool. Hmm, oookay, after another look it all made sense and i was quickly in.

Signed cache, left the TB in place, replaced the tool and continued on my way. Awesome work, thanks! Smile
 
07-Jul-15
My 100th cache, and to mark it we had to make sure we did a Wingaap cache. Plugged in our waypoint yet still managed to find the cache before reaching our waypoint destination. Headed down to grab the tool, then back to the cache. Now how to use it. 1GiantPanda was dexterous enough to figure it out, and with cache open we signed the log and took another TB, before returning tool and taking photos. Thanks yet again Wingaap, a favourite point for my 100th find to be awarded upon returning home.

I need to do some catching up, my logging is behind;
I'll write a note to let you know that I have made a find.
I'll change this note into a find when I can spare the time
To get my thoughts onto the page and finish off my rhyme. Smile

first find of the day out with the eskies. tricky to unlock. and number 250 for me. tftc
 
04-Jul-15
Out with Mr Esky, MalDawg, StephLego and 5 geokids in tow. Just enough room to squeeze two cars at the gate. located the hide first and then retrieved the tool. This one caused a bit of excitement. All the kids had a go with no luck...took two adults before success. What a great little set up. Left Gingey TB. TFTC Wingaap. A fav point from us.
 
04-Jul-15
Out for the day with our lovely geo friends. First find for the day. Geo kid was excited to find the tool but took a few turns to unlock. Tftc.

Pretty cool set up. TFTC. A favorite pint from me.

Out for the day with Seffnjarah to pick up some of the Enoggera Resevoir caches. Great hide, left Eatmorchikin signature coin.

Thanks for the cache, Eatmorchikin

Our final cache for the day before heading back to the car. We found the tool easy enough but it certainly was not the one I was expecting. Stood scratching my head for a while as to what possible use it could be. As we walked back to the cache it soon dawned on us what may be required and with some deft touches we soon had the means to access the log book. Certainly not seen the likes of this before. Thank you for keeping us entertained today.
 
22-May-15
Our GPS had us 20 metres off, but geodad followed his gut and found it! Awesome cache! Log was being guarded by a huntsman.
 
06-Apr-15
Wingaap when I first discovered your caches this weekend at the Mega I was not let down, as I continue to find your caches today this first one is well worth the favourite point I'm awarding! Nearly got scared from the noisy bush until I realised the noises were cute little frogs.
 
04-Apr-15
Great cache. I somehow missed the cache the first time looking, and went straight for the tool. Dad spotted the cache and came to join me. I was still struggling to locate the tool, but dad found it rather quickly. Getting the tool out was a struggle in itself! [B)]

We then went off to try and open the cache. Using the tool was a little tricky, but dad again found what we were looking for, and we opened the cache. Wonderful cache, we really enjoyed it.

TNLN, TFTC. +1 fav.

Today we went out for a walk in this area and came acros some very nice caches.to spot thisone was no problem,to sign the log took some more effort.
 
08-Feb-15
Not quite what was expected after reading the description and uncovering the tool, but we soon had it opened. Smile Thanks for an amazing cache!

I was down from the Sunshine Coast and staying in the Big Smoke for a long weekend. I am a Coastal/Bush kid and am not used to all of the Muggles that live in the city. They are everywhere... Up there, over there, under there and alllllll the way up there. There are eyes everywhere! After doing a few City caches, I thought 'Stuff this' I'm running away to the BUSH!

This was the first cache I got to and I have to say that I was expecting something out of the norm as I have done a few caches by this CO before and they normally have a little creative twist to them. And, this cache was no exception.

I loved the thought that had gone into making a cache that was not to hard but enjoyable to complete. I also LOVED the size of the cache as I really do like big caches.

Thanks for the cache 'wingaap'. Everything is in order.
 
09-Nov-14
A relatively easy find but certainly and engaging and enjoyable one. Well planned out.

Favourite awarded!

Found the cache and set about to find the tool. Thought we knew what we were looking for. The we found the tool and was a little bit stumped. We wandered back to the cache and soon figured out what we needed to do. Tftc
 
02-Nov-14
Spotted this geocache after a lovely morning at walkabout creek. Got the geoKids organised and off we set. First we made for the waypoint. Found the implement and off we headed. Back to ground Zero and the compass was going crazy. Found a likely hide and set about trying to extract. Everyone tried. Used a torch and iPhone camera but no luck. Had us stumped. Turned the gps back on and it was pointing 10m away. Off we tramped. This looked more promising. Soon we had the cache and the logbook signed. Definitely a favourite. Tftc
 
01-Nov-14
What a perfect weekend! Two days out in the bush together with my girlfriend, our mountain bikes, our tent and some really nice Steaks. Besides camping in the bush we found in total 34 caches Cool Thank you very much wingaap for showing us this area. Just because of you and your famous caches we visited this area, so thanks a lot.
 
30-Oct-14
WE had to walk past this one on the way back to carpark and after a quick read wasn't sure we'd be able to get this one. I wonder what sort of tool we'll need. A bit more reading showed a tool would be supplied. As we were walking to GZ we were trying to think what Bob did for a job.

Arrive at GZ and spot the cache quickly. Ok, this tool should be interesting. Oh, now it all makes sense.

Back to GZ to work our magic. Orangecrew gives me the tool to do the honours. But you're the expert Surprised, why me? Grabbed it first go Smile, aren't I clever Razz

Log signed, cache and tool replaced as found. A favourite from me.

Out on a nice warm day hiking the trails with the Bowmans to find some unloved caches. We found the container easily enough, certainly hard to miss. Now onward to find "ze tool". Ed and I trundled off and found a likely structure, and the tool quickly came to hand. As soon as I began to retrieve it, I thought Hmmm I know what that is!!! Hello Mr Magill! The tribute receiver must be in a similar line of work to me. Having used these in anger before, I hoped today's use would be for a different purpose, and it was. Ed did the honoured and we soon had the container open. Thanks for a great finish to a terrific mornings caching, FP from me
 
30-Oct-14
the last of our day wondering around in the bush

orange crew had read this one and knew a tool was required
I wonder if we have something
I am sure the CO will trade 'hugs for hints'

we re-read as we headed towards and realised the tool would be provided
awesome
even better ... our walking companion is a paramedic so we learned all about the tool
I like learning knew things
fasted then used the tool as it should be used

I like where the log is

took cricket credz coin

Checked on BobH today. Tool has been replaced. Many thanks to Bob for providing the replacement.

All good with the cache

Wow, what an adventure. The cache and tool were found easily enough and we had an idea what to do. It took several attempts, magnets, mirrors and torches but eventually it was lost2found who came up with the goods. If Iwas here by myself IMart will have given up. A favorite from me.TFTC
 
13-Aug-14
Found both the cache and the tool easily enough and managed to figure out what we had to do. Doing it was a whole different story. After attempts by several members of our group and with people holding a torch and a mirror, eventually Lost 2 Found managed to do what was needed and we were all able to sign the log.
 
13-Aug-14
Well this was my first Wingaap cache (I think) and also #300 for me. Wow, what an amazing cache, there was a group of us who decided to attach Wingaap Drive today and this set the day off with a bang! Tricky little cache though - took us a while to work out what to do, and then how to do it. Persistance from Lost 2 Found soon had the key in hand. Log was signed and we were on our way again!
 
13-Aug-14
#319 - Out for the day caching with (partially) new geo-friends: Hot Wheels Duo, Team DNF, Lost2Found, and Ryssa6. The plan was to do Wingaap Drive, because of the great caches that he seemed to have put out. Whoever told us so, they were correct!

This was our second one and oh boy, I've not yet come up a tricky one like this. Collectively we worked out what was needed to be done; doing it was a different story altogether. I had the first go, but with sore knees from a recent hiking tour I couldn't hold out long enough. Others had a go and it was Lost2Found who had the most patience (and steady hands!) to come up with the goods.

TFTC wingaap (I may have another fp to give away)

That was a fun cache! The tool was not what we expected... but very useful!
Nice design!
Thanks for the fun!

10-Jul-14
We had to scratch our heads for a minute with the tool (not literally), thinking it was missing a component, but eventually we worked out everything out. One final awesome cache from wingaap. When we next visit we will have to find some more from you. Excellent series, TFTC! Cheers, from Sweden.
 
13-Apr-14
Found the cache and then wandered to the WP. I found the item which should have a tool, but no tool was there, so I was unable to open the container today.
 
01-Feb-14
Some low life has stolen the tool and smashed off the lock.

I've repaired the cache and placed something which will be of use until a replacement tool can be reinstalled
 
26-Jan-14
Was here to show muggle friends this one, a favourite of ours, but found the box with lock mechanism broken and tool missing from its hiding spot. Sad to see, looks like a fire has gone through these parts some time ago also. Apart from the lock being broken the cache was in good condition.
 
12-Jan-14
I've been thinking....maybe I got this wrong,...maybe I need to go back and try harder......hmmmmmmm.
Yes....I'll be back
 
11-Jan-14
Sorry to say I could not find the tool today. The cache and toolbox are alive and well, but the toolbox was empty. Great looking cache! I would love to complete it one day.
Thanks Wingaap.
 
24-Dec-13
Found the cache but sadly the key is missing.
 
24-Dec-13
Found cache and where we think tool should be but no tool.
 
25-Nov-13
Found the cache and worked out what tool I might be looking for. Found a tool locker at the WP, but no tool.
 
16-Oct-13
I attempted the surgery back in 2009 and failed dismally. I thought I was going to fail again today when, on a Hail Mary try, I felt something down the hole, encouraged I tried again and managed to extract the second tool required for accessing the cache. Joy of joys!

Thanks for a wonderfully constructed cache wingaap.

As this is my last wingaap find for this trip north I have to say that I will always be targeting your caches, they are always well constructed and bring a smile to the dial. Some even give you a fright when you come across that unexpected thing hiding in the bush. This short visit has only helped reinforce my appreciation for your caches. Many, many thanks and to paraphrase the old guy on 'Are you being served "You're doing very well".
 
15-Sep-13
Out for a short walk today with Greatjustgreat. Found the cache with little effort, and then found the tool pretty quickly as well. Both had fun trying to gain access to the cache. All dry inside. Thanks for the cache.

We loved this cache!
 
17-Jul-13
Great find, loved the lock.
 
14-Jul-13
Loved this one, some bushbashing with thefinneys family plenty of eyes to spot the 2 parts to this one helped towards our success today! We have been very impressed with all the wingaap geocaches we have found today but I have to say this one would be my favorite and it gets a favorite point from me. Dropped off a Discover Me Kiwi tag. TFTC Wingaap!
 
09-Jul-13
Very cool. Took magsie20 ages to find the cache after we found the tool. I spotted it from a miles away!! Really nice cache.

Great cache. Took me ages to spot the cache after locating tool reasonably easily!! Esixtyone thought this very funny!! TFTC. A favourite for me!!

Very clever hide for the tool Smile Unfortunately some spiders had to be sacrificed in order to get in this one. TFTC Smile
 
25-May-13
Initially I had planned to skip over the multi's today needing to just get through a set count. But I made the effort since it was not far off my path anyway. Once I realised it was only a short one to grab the tool was even better.

So I head in and find the Cache quite easy, and I thought yes that is the tool I need. So I head off to the other coords to fetch the tool and that is quite quick as well. Although I was initially confused at the tool and had a look to see if there were options and nope. But then it dawns on me, I understand.

A quick walk back to the cache and the tool worked great. So I get in and grab the log book and get it signed, Close up the cache ready for the next cacher to use the tool. Then a quick walk back to replace the tool.

Well this is where the quick part of it ends. I get back slot the tool in it's home and it disappears. Well this is no good cannot be leaving it half way there for the next fellow, so another 10 minutes was spent using a stick and whatever else I could find to recover the tool, and this time gently placed it back where it is suppose to be.

It all worked out in the end which is good. TFTC
 
23-Apr-13
First I looked for the cache itself. After some searching without any luck, I found some SNAKESKIN :-S Uuaahhh. Actually I'm not afraid of snakes, but this time I really got the heeby jeebys, cos I was on my own and not yet used to the Australian forest :S
1st time I gave up cos I was scared Wink
But thanks anyway for the experience!

Awesome multi cache. This is what caching is all about. Picked up " Dances with Sox"
 
26-Jan-13
Clad in our rain gear we started our trek to the GZ. Light rain was falling as Mrs Dannza went off to locate the tool, whilst I and Mr Danna located the cache. We found the sturdy container without the need of any medical supplies which was lucky cause it took Mrs Dannza awhile to locate the tool. Eventually she arrived at the GZ with the sinister looking tool. We worked out what was required and gained entry to the cache, took photos for the trip album, signed the log and left the Dances with Socks TB that I had bought back from the America. Thanks wingaap for the adventure.

Leaving Straddie and hubby to find cache off I go in pursuit of tool! Ok quick find oh loved this one. Is it wrong to make hubby put tool back as it is raining and it is all the way over there........

We decided to do a caching trip around the mount Nebo area today because we heard it was a good series. So with membsec tagging along so they could also grab some caches they had missed lenicka.second and I grabbed the caches.

This was quite a cool cache and clever hide. Favo point for sure. TFTC
 
12-Dec-12
Found it on a geocaching trip to this national park together with omaster and membsec. Most of the caches has membsec already done so they were just watching us for the most of the time but there were also caches they havent done. The series was very interesting, the CO must have put a lot of work into this. The forests in Australia are much more wilder and dry so I still do prefere the ones we have at home in Sweden I think Smile. This cache took a little while to get. I really like the container! Fp.

Out with IolantheK for a day of fun and adventure. This was our first for the day together. I was a bit worried when I started reading the description, but reading on revealed that I need not have been Wink Made our way to the waypoint. Soon spotted what we had to do and returned back to GZ. GZ was a little off for us, but easy to find. The necessary surgery was performed and the log book signed. The first of many favourite points for today Smile
 
05-Oct-12
Out and about in the company of teamdfl Smile

A great start to our day with this fun multi. We headed off to get the tool first, and were surprised by what we found. Hmmm, I think I've got an idea of what we might have to do. Back to GZ and searching, searching, then, oh it's over there! Made appropriate use of our tool and soon had the container open. Very creative, wingy. I think I shall be handing out lots of favourite points today Smile TFTC.
 
15-Aug-12
How do you come up with these ideas, then get all the parts together to work as designed, just amazing. Decided to find the tool first, quickly done after only wondering around in a circle twice. Now to find something to use the tool on, not here not there, check directions again, then spot the cache a few metres away. Took a little bit of finesse and some jiggling but soon had the desired outcome. No sneaky gaurdians today. TFTC Fav point from me

Second last of the day and number #398. Only an early DNF on the trip to Wingaap Way, meant the planned #400 milestone in these parts won't occur Sad.

Very leg weary, thirsty and hungry after a long morning hiking. I struggled up the hill and ventured to find the tool. Something looked just out of place, and I surprised myself by quickly finding the tool. Now I have an idea of Mr Rastas occupation.

At GZ, it took me a minute or two before the tool came good.

I had been banking all my favourites in anticipation of todays adventure. So its fitting that I use one if my last favourites here, as this one is truly deserving.

Following in the footsteps of Net88, Captain Terror and Brightskies, I had my caching eyes on. But apparently not my spiderweb eyes, Blah. So stopping to bend down and pick up a stick to protect myself from the monsters that be, I stood back up to discover the cache right in front of me. If only it was that easy at other times! But a cache is no good if you can't open it, on to finding the 'tool'.

After being lead around and around by a haywire GPS and misguided by the Captain, Net88 managed to find the implement we needed. Back to the cache and after a not so lucky attempt by Net88 to produce what we needed I gave it a crack. Success!!! Finally opening the cache we were greeted by the usual creepy crawlies, one of them giving Brightskies quite a shock.

Having the log signed and all parties ready for the next cache, it was only fair that the quickest of the group should return the the tool to it's resting place. Thanks Captain Terror.

This was the fourth cache of the day whilst out caching in Wingaap Territory. I was accompanied by Nyssa Flutterby, Brightskies and Captain Terror. With Captain Terror watching on and apparently no one else with the coords i was in the lead... hahahaha first mistake right there. We found the cache first but knew we had to find more. So we kept heading downwards but after checking my GPSr i realised it was the wrong way so we back tracked and headed another way. Part of the way down the Captain told us we had gone too far so we went back to where he said it was and had a look. NOPE wrong place silly Captain. He led us on a wild goose chase for a while until i broke away from the group with my trusty oregon and followed the only slightly visible trail. Sure enough the numbers starting ticking down. closer, closer. When suddenly i saw something that didn't match the rest. Yep there is the tool. Back to the cache and i failed at retrieval so Nyssa had a go and succeeded. We opened the cache and signed the log. We sent the Captain back to hide the tool as we are slightly slower Razz so we headed to the car. Thanks for the cache Wingaap

Out for a eventful day in Mt Nebo with Captain Terror, Nyssaflutterby and Net88. Our fourth cache hunt for the day. It didn't take us long to find the cache, and we soon headed off in search of the 'special tool'. Net88's GPSr had us going in some interesting circles, and with the Captain's input, we had managed to trek around the entire area not knowing where we were going! Soon enough Net88 got impatient and followed a faint trail, and quickly retrieved an interesting tool. Anyway after Net88's instinctual trail sniffing, we returned to the cache and Nyssa unlocked our goodies. Cache looks good, apart from a few resident cockroaches - urgh. Signed and returned, and the Captain was coaxed to return the tool, as he is quite speedy compared to the rest of us, and we returned to the car. Its handy having that gazelle around. Thanks Wingaap. ^^

After finding a good parking spot, we wondered what tool we could be looking for. We headed for this knowing we would surely need it to get the cache open. After a short walk, Mr Parko found this tool, which gave me a chuckle Cool
Off we headed up the hill to find what we thought was where the cache was, a strange hole in a tree. After a couple of minutes we realized this was not what we were looking for and proceeded to expand our search Red Face
hmmm what do we have here [?]
Mr Parko couldn't get any use of this tool so gave it to me to try, and try I did. After a few minutes he decided to foot it back to the car for his own special tool Surprised but after about 5 minutes I had the beast opened and just about then Mr Parko came down the hill, happy to see it open! Took a familiar looking TB to move further north....Well done wingaap, having a great day Big Grin

This was the second of an absolutely awesome day. Wingaap you are a genius. Great and clever caches, weather perfect and a change to travel a road never travelled before by us. Plus great bush walks and the most intriguing caches. We had a fabulous day thanks to an innovative cacher.
Got close to GZ although GPS bounced all over. Could not find cache but we were able to work out the home of the special tool and retrieve it. Then we discovered the cache - so obvious really. As others have we discovered the way to use the tool and all was done. Left a TB, and would record this in our favourites.

After having a picnic lunch at Walkabout Creek, this was to be the last Wingaap cache for the day Smile We all headed along the track wondering what we would find next [?] We all veered off down hill to the final waypoint whilst Jase followed the direction of the arrow to hunt down the key Wink

Well, you just never know what to expect Surprised The words Utter Utter B@stard may have been muttered whilst trying to open this one Razz Yet another totally unique idea, not exactly sure what the tool is usually used for but it fits perfectly with the cache [^]

Must go clock up some more fave points now, cause yet again you have depleted our stock WingaapBig Grin Hope to be back soon to hunt some wabbits Razz Thanks again Cool

Down the hill, scratch around, more searching, after about 15 minutes no luck.
Perhaps if I find the tool it might give a hint what I'm looking for?
Down the hill further, search around for 10 minutes, nothing promising, back up to the cache area and look some more. AHA! found about 10 metres from where my gps unit thought was GZ. YES! Now I remember Rastas's occupation!
Back down to find the tool, another 10 minutes searching - that doesn't look right! What the hell is THAT? Looks bizarre enough to be the required implement. Back up the hill to the cache. Oh! That's what it's for! Luckily Mrs George was used to the tool, and soon had the cache open. Took Kiwi, left Red tailed Black Cockatoo, TFTC. A real challenge. Oh yes. And back down the hill to replace the tool.Smile

This was one of our favourites amongst the many great caches we did today. Not knowing quite what to expect made it all the more fun when we got there. Thanks again for all of your effort Wingaap.

This was one of the favourites of the day. We have, in the past generally avoided multi caches as we are a bit tired of the "read this plaque, substitute these letters with numbers". How refreshing that this one was different. We discovered the guardian of the "tool" and took a pic. Love these ones where you need to do a bit of work for your reward. Fantastic job!!

Found with Stairman1 and geodog. This was another pleasant walk and a very surprising cache container. Surprised. After reading the clues we followed the geotrail down to the required equipment needed to access this cache. I let Stairman1 do the handy work as that is what he is good at Razz. He quickly had the container opened. After signing the log, we grabbed the TB to move on and then placed the tool back for the next cacher to find. Smile TFTC

A nicely executed little puzzle. I always say there's a proper tool for any job and that's definitely the appropriate tool for that one.

Opened successfully signed log. Took nothing left nothing. Log dry and tool replaced for next player =)
Thanks. Frewster

Having Captain Terror with us at this point was very useful as he had already found this one and suggested the most time effective way to have the log in our hands.

We arrived at the final coords with the required equipment and began the nessasary procedure for the task at hand. After a few moments we had the logbook in our hot little hands and were adding our names to the logSmile

We then closed the cache back up and began the reverse procedure. With everything back in its orginal place, it was time to move on to the next creative find.

Cache 3 for today in this area. I came directly to this cache from 'Temptation'. I'm pretty sure I somehow came from the wrong direction, because it was more difficult to get to than I was expecting. I then spent a very long time looking for the tool in the wrong location thanks to my trusty inaccurate phone-based GPSr. After about 25 minutes of head scratching and disappointment, I broadened my search area and eventually found the tool literally just as I was giving up hope of working it out. After I had the tool in hand, I found the GZ and solved the cache fairly easily. TNLN TFTC SL.
