As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hmmmmm - certain very important bits of this cache seem to have gone missing (like the waypoint and the cache itself ;-( )

Will consider what to do with the cache after Easter.

Worked out the coordinates and been back two times but still failed to locate the magnetic micro. We won't let it beat and we will be back for another go.

We worked out the numbers in Perth before we came down but must have made a mistake. The location looked right but we never found anything and we didnt have access to a computer during the weekend to recheck the numbers.
It will be a while before we get back to Albany and based on our usual cache methods we will have thrown out our present clue sheet before we get back while having a cleanup around the computer.
So we will most likely we will never find this one...but on the positive side there is bound to be new ones in the area by then.

We figured out the puzzle over a few nights, and went out early in search of the second co-ordinates. We looked in all the logical spots but came up empty handed (plus the huge mosquitos were biting us). So we decided to think about this logically, and came up with s set of numbers by the powers of deduction and Woo Hoo we found the cache. Thanks for the cache, it was fun.

Found the cache with TeamAstro. Thanks for the cache and Puzzle.

A puzzle solved elsewhere but a lovely find first thing in the morning after the 100. Clear skies for all eyes from TeamAstro.

Not a muggle in sight thanks for the great puzzle

Worked out the puzzle when it was first published and today had the opportunity to find the cache. Found the required information without too much trouble but had to re-read the puzzle (as we had forgotten about the second part!). It wasn't long before we had the cache in hand. Thanks for another very well thought out puzzle, and the cache of course!

Took us a little while to work out the puzzle but the actual find was easy. Thanks for taking us on a trip down memory lane in more ways than one. SL TFTC

Finally got around to doing this one. Did the 'maths' on it a while ago and did the physical part today. Not a muggle in sight, but for good reason.

tricky cache, lucky richlink was there to work it out.

#9 of 22. We laboured over this one, must admit at times I wanted to screw it up and pretend we never started it - it became a niggling thorn in our side When we thought we were on the right track we came to a dead end. Finally with a slight clue we got on the right path and came up trumps - we can sleep again!!

I love sitting down with a cup of tea and an entertaining puzzle.

I kept thinking it’s gonna take a miracle but any day now, we’ll solve this puzzle and then one of us, in the heat of the moment, would exclaim “oh no, take it awayâ€. It was the sweetest thing when we finally cracked it. It definitely needs to be done out of hours although personally, I think even the nights are better. We could have located the cache without even solving the puzzle but I thought, should I do it? – no that would be cheating. We’ve been asked for clues by others but our lips are sealed, you’ll just have to go to the same trouble we did to solve it.
Thanks for another great puzzle bottsbunch but I feel like I need a vacation after this one

After doing lots of searching on the internet before realizing what the clue meant we travelled through time and the imagination was sparked with stories about Woodstock and even Sunbury. Eventually we got on the right track and we are old enough to remember many of the names mentioned. We found the cache without any problem. TNLN. Thanks bottsbunch

Found it with 3 teams in total. Had a great days adventures seen approx 4 snakes. 2 king skinks, goanna, dead kargaroos and an emu..........All in a days caching!

OUR BRAINS HURT LOL
took us a little as we were very young but got there in the end for a team effort.

Yep, the sign is gone gone gone...... follow the new instructions above to find the cache.

After giving this a go on more than one occasion and getting nowhere the support crew got the music hint and went from there and from strength to strenght. went away for the weekend to find support crew had worked it out only to find the sign missing. Anyway there is pure logic and methodology and determination. found after a bit of a hunt. In hindsight the sign was not needed anyway. TFTH

seems the sign has been removed permanently. will be putting a substitute step in, in its place, in the next day or two.

How sweet it is to finally tick that box that reads FOUND IT. Words cannot capture the pain this cryptic puzzle has caused us, even after a hint from Cruznoz about the "hint" it was another 3 weeks of late night web surfing and tantrums (it's a miracle it didn't end in divorce . Thanks for fun puzzle Botts.

Found previously as one of the “Rainbow Coasters”.

Finally after many brain teasing sessions and bouts of frustration, many drives around town looking for clues and signs, the male coaster headed off to work with the puzzle where a colleague with a good knowledge of music was able to work out one of the clues and away we went on a new mission. Running into “Botts†at “Be Prepared†gave us the last hint and shortly after we had the co-ords on paper.

The most frustrating thing about this cache is that the Coasters walked within three metres of the cache on day one and walked around the sign twice not noticing it. The female Coaster had most of the co-ords worked out to be where the location had to be and just about cracked it without the sign or any of the clues.

It always seems so easy when you finally crack it, thinking if only we had thought of this or that earlier. To those who haven’t yet cracked the clues, don’t give up; find a music nut who might just be able to help you along. A challenging cache “Bottsâ€, I’m sure another is bubbling away in that devious mind of yours.

Looking forward to the next traditional or multi that goes down!!!

Found after 2 failed attempts due to kids playing nearby. I thought the puzzle concept was a great idea.

Is that a longbored surfer or a longboard surfer?

Good one Botts. All themed together nicely and definitely an out of hours cache. I got here at 7 in the morning when I worked out where it was.

I have the feeling that Tango is in cahoots with the unp. I never seem to get notification of the caches he FTF's.

Thank you.

Awww, come on [red]mister_clyde[/red]. Don't be a sore loser. A [size=5][blue] second to find [/blue][/size] on an excellent cache like this is worth a dozen FTF's of a BA cache tucked under a grass tree. [^]

I am the first to admit that this is not my specialty field and half the assumptions that I made proved to be way out. However once the solution started to appear I knew I was on the right track. I resisted the urge to consult a "phone a friend" expert in this area.

Unfortunately my speed reading skills also proved inadequate so it was longer than necessary to make the grab. Silly really because all coords were absolutely spot on.

As Bottsbunch says muggles are a problem round here so evenings and weekends are best for making the final grab.

A great puzzle Bottsbunch. I learnt a lot, but unfortunately will forget it just as quickly. An FTF to remember though.
