Great puzzle, although the cache requires maintenance...

Easy to solve with the description instructions

Ooft Theatralis and I are on a grand tour of the Lake Macquarie area seeing as I'm on holidays until I start my new job and this was definitely one of the highlights. Figured out the instructions without toooo much trouble and logged this as the cold change was sweeping in. TFTC!!!

Wow our 1000th find!!!
We picked this cache due to all the fav points & we weren't disappointed. Quick search & I stumbled upon the cache then Geohubby made short work of opening the well constructed cache but getting it back together was another story!! It took us 3x longer to put the bloody thing back!! Oh well that's geocaching. Fav pt from us.
Cache in good condition, log book a little damp. TFTC cheers

On a mission form HQ: Little Roo and I made a go for this cache. We followed the nice trail down to the water and enjoyed the view shortly after we began our search. After a short search of GZ I spotted the cache this was good fun getting to the cache but such a struggle getting it back into place after a while things seemed to fall into place I took a TB and left one in its place "Mumford the Mummy" TFTC jonignite fun times.

Another sunny day is another day to go geocaching. Cool
This one has become my closest to home cache. Smile
So I had better go find it. Razz
A quick find once at GZ ... BUT .... A short while later I had the log book in hand. Big Grin
Very clever idea and worthy of a fav point. Cool
Thanks for the cache.

Intriguing to see so many faves out here so had to have a look when I noticed.
Got to GZ via the path near the horses and initially looked around and saw nothing. Mmmm - scanned about and noted a shape.
Followed the clues and voila - quite the 3D puzzle.
Have another fave!

Great hide. Thanks Smile

Great enjoyed stroll on old rough track to GZ...

Down on holidays with Geobaby being looked after by muggle Graunty and Grunkle I was able to slip away to grab this cache. Very inventive took me a while to find had put my cache cap on. For the first time in ages my GPS was on the money. TFTC!!! Awesome cache!!!
 
11-Oct-15
This is an awesome find, deserves a favourite from me! TFTC!
 
03-Oct-15
Yeah our 100th cache! Awesome !! Very ingenious cache. Thanks for this one Joignite
 
02-Sep-15
Chose this one for my 200th milestone and I was not disappointed! What a genius concept! This would be the best design I've seen yet.. and so well done. Really appreciate the effort that went into this one, thanks so much! In a great little spot aswell that I wouldn't have otherwise come to.
Gently does it Smile I worked out that the final step hadn't been completed when I first approached GZ, as it was a little bit exposed. Followed the instructions and left it how it was intended. A definite favourite from me.
Thanks again! Had a lot of fun.
 
30-Jul-15
Nice little walk to the water. Cache a little damp. Was easily spotted so put some more camo around it. A lot of thought went into this one. Well done! tftc Smile
 
08-Jul-15
Out today with darkside dan. today we had a day exploring the lakes around the central coast. Unlike yesterday we didnt get the numbers but the quality of the caches was greater. We ended up getting 27 caches and had a great time together. Thanks for the caches

What a cache, I like creative caches. Well done

Found with Mr Roo as part of a 2 day, 600km, 20 hour, 109 cache road trip. Very cool cache, love it.
 
27-Jun-15
Found. Finally got back down this way to finish finding the caches in this area. This was the first one to find. after a short walk i spotted the cache and set about retrieving it. Once it was up and signed i replaced it. TFTC
 
21-May-15
What an awesome cache! Mozzies were fierce which meant I got a bit distracted here and there, but I got there. The walk in and the view from the site were fun. A quick find after basically stepping over it two or three times! Damn swirly GPS. Cleaning up a few random caches on the southern side of the lake this arvo. TNLN TFTC

I found this cache while visiting Australia from New Zealand. Today I was on a day trip to Newcastle, from Sydney, to attend a show. Noticed the favourite points for this one, so took a slight detour to check it out. Arrived at GZ, carefully operated the cache and soon had the log book in hand! A clever hide - favourite point added! TFTC!

Such a wonderful cache I hate to think of someone spoiling it trying to reverse. As you ended in the nu spot the first move is down then encrypted (rqjqfhaq), thank you so much for such a wonderful cache.

Found Easter Sunday morning. My son and I went for a drive before the guests arrived. We parked on the road close to the cache and followed the fire trail in. The cache was excellent and had great engineering to its name. I can only hope it was buried before the guidelines were put in place. But would not have worked without being so. I had some trouble getting it open, but got there. However putting it back again was very easy. Instead of going straight back to the car we followed the trail the other way which would have been a nice walk, if sections of it had not been flooded due to all the rain. Eventually it came out at a playground and Junior had a lot of fun before we followed the road back to the car.
Thanks for the walk, views and great cache!

Impressive bit of work in this one!

Thanks for the cache! Regards Peter VK2US

Very clever, good for frustrating 13 year olds (Mum took over). Took ages to find (GPSr all over the place).
 
09-Nov-14
Took a bit of opening, till I figured out what the code was for Smile. Took a little star, left a superhero badge! Could do with some maintenance, but wet and there's lots of can pull tabs in there. Thanks for the cache Smile

Went out with Spartman and MadRoosterMan in the rain and wind, nothing can stop us! I love this, it looked so unassuming on the approach. Really well executed, we just struggled a little to get it back in! TFTC Smile

We wanted a memorable cache for our 100th find and Time capsule didn't disappoint. It just goes to show that effort is well rewarded and appreciated. Thanks joignite for a great cache!
 
27-Nov-13
WOW!. Such a special cache for my special occasion. Had to find a special cache to commemorate my 150th day of my 150 day streak. Jonignite had mentioned this one on our first meeting, and I had thought about doing it earlier, but left it for now, due to all the previous great logs, and not many caches I know of have 25 favs. I was not disappointed. A great location, a good hide, and a fantastic container. I really love the concept and the ingenuity that you have put into this. The word reverse in the description really threw me, and putting it back together was really hard. I may have a spoiler, in that the top did come off and I am not real sure if it should have. Thankyou Jonignite for a very interesting cache. ( I did cheat a little and read the clue whilst researching the cache.) Definitely a fav from me.
 
20-Nov-13
Being in the area I couldn't let this interesting cache go by. Continuing my stroll around the shore front from Delta, along more or less walking trails, I reached the point to turn right. Headed toward the water as the numbers got smaller.
A bit of a look around and there was something not quite right about that being there...?
Closer inspection showed I was at the right place. Now what did I do with those letters... Here they are!
What does it mean, the hint helped at this point.
Yes we have the log... Signed and reassembled.
A lot of thought and work has gone into this one, T very much FTC.
 
09-Nov-13
WOW THIS IS AMAZING! well let's start from the begining. Forgot to write down the coords (what's new) but I knew that it was near the lane/walkway that comes downn from the road. THe geodad was not happy, but I convinced him that I knew what I was looking for. About five minutes later, i stumbled across something of intrest on a very obvious geotrail. Soon was twisting and lifting to discover the true genius of the cache. certainly in my top ten caches, a noble honour as I am not easily pleased. TFTC!!!!!!

First of this type I've found. Was thinking of doing something like this myself but it was good to see one in the wild. Loved the walk down to the spot. Nice place. SL. TFTC.
 
04-Aug-13
Found it after trying to get here numerous times. One being at night, which I decided to come back in the daylight. I'm glad I did, what a view and even better, thought out cache! Rock may need securing as was loose.
 
04-Aug-13
What a cleverly constructed hide. Great stuff.
 
04-Aug-13
Took my son and his mate to find this cache. Amazing! The kids had fun working this one out. And my son surprised me by putting it all back in place before I had figured out how to reverse the steps haha.

The cache and log etc was dry, although the cover on top (with the arrow) was loose and no longer glued on. TNLNSL. Thanks Jonignite for the great cache!
 
03-Jul-13
TFTC Found with seaeagles1997 and #1kard. Well worth the walk for this amazing cache!
 
03-Jul-13
The cache is AWESOME. Really well thought out, and executed.
We eventually found the track to GZ after driving around in circles for a while and made the short muddy walk.
The cache was located by mum and after a bit of fiddling and using the code we signed the log. Grabbed a few photos of the area, tried to work out how on earth you made it and then continued the track down to Delta Force.
Thanks for this fantastic cache, Dropped TB and of course will add another favourite point.

Re glued the top on new log book and double bagged should be good to go
 
28-Mar-13
Will have to recheck this one
 
25-Mar-13
The log is soggy and the natural, top cammo has come off too. Needs some maintenance to bring it back to the amazing cache it can be.
 
23-Mar-13
My first Geocache for NSW. Strange, because I registered while living in NSW and have found 800+ caches in 4 other states. Brought here by I Found Dan and his bro and girl.
My fist cache of this type. Faved. Well done!
 
11-Sep-12
found it, well hidden
 
09-Sep-12
Nice find but easy because it was already up out of the ground
 
26-Aug-12
We attempted this one some time ago but abandoned our attempt as we were using a car GPS didn't have the other necessary info. The time we came prepared with a garmin etrex each and bingo, there it was, partially visible. Followed the instructions carefully and soon had the cache in hand. Log was damp but signable. TN left halpennies. Carefully replaced and found the last few centimetres a little tricky but it eventually slid back into place and less visible than it was when we found it. Thanks Jonignite for a fun cache and a clever piece of work.
 
04-Aug-12
The write ups for this one had me intreged. We had to do this one before leaving the area. Found with Boot65 and Chalk it up. Well worth the detour. Unusual and fun cache. TFTC
 
04-Aug-12
1037. Found with Relish64 and Chalk It Up on our way up to Maitland for a wedding. After Relish64 had seen the listing of this one with all its favourites, we decided it was a must do and we werent dissappointed. Found this one without too much trouble, but had a good time laughing at each others attempts at securing the log book. Thanks jonignite for the cache and a favourite from me too. Big Grin
 
04-Aug-12
We found the cache very interesting. Great design. Worth a favorite. Cheers

Very clever hide..... Nive walk too
 
15-Apr-12
I walked from “Delta Force” and found the track good only needing to take care when passing close to the barbed wire fence. Arriving at GZ I spotted something a little different and then the challenge commenced. This is a fantastic created cache and after a bit of this way and that way unlocked it and signed the log. Next restoring it to its original position and again a bit of this way that way up and down and it was home again. I will recommend Rainbow Spirit visit this cache when next in Newcastle as this is right up his alley. I favourite point from me, thanks Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin.

Wow.. That was unexpected! Kids normally excited about what the cache contains but that was only half the fun this time...
Thanks

04-Feb-12
By far the best cache I've done in terms of accessing it. Impressive effort has gone in to this one. Beware of the ants though
 
22-Jan-12
After a dnf on "how's the serenity" we didn't want to waste our trip so found another cache nearby. The description intrigued us so we set off.... Discovered that if we stood still on the track the ants would get us so we moved quickly! The kids managed the walk ok and we were greeted with a lovely water view at the end. GZ was a bit slippery and crowded with 6 people there but we managed! Spotted the cache "lid" immediately then looked at figuring out how to open it. Followed the instructions and worked it out - very clever!!! Took a bit more effort to reveal the log but we got it in the end. TNLNSL ... Had a few false starts to reinstate the cache but then figured it out and returned it to it's starting point. What a great idea. Tftc!!

Rainy day, but a great cache! Dissapointed that it was broken as we were looking forward to solving the puzzle!
 
24-Nov-11
Will check it ASAP
 
23-Nov-11
Found on a very rainy day! Did not have to use the clue to retrieve the cache! Don't think it was put back correctely! Tried putting cache back in reverse, but did not seem to work?? As we continued to try we got wetter and wetter, so finally we just replaced the cache and ran??? Sorry!!! %Took the TB! Think I understand how the cache wasconstructed and may have to try this at home!!!! Thanks for the find from a couple cachers from Western USA!
 
23-Nov-11
Returned today to see if we could figure out how the cache was constructed! It wasn't raining so Ferret PUP and I paid another visit. GMA sat in the car! We did figure it out, but the cache is broken! Will see if I can construct one like this when we get back to the USA! Thanks for the adventure!

Talk about saving the best for last. I had to phone a friend as I was on the wrong past, I had missed a vital turn off for the second time today. Once cache was found it was easily extracted and signed. Putting it back proved a lot more difficult especially once I realised there were kids down the river fishing...hope they didn't muggle it, this is the BEST cache I have done for a very long time, a lot of Effort and Brain power, along with some skill went into it and it is one to be admired.

What a great concept for a cache container!!
Cache found easily after a pleasant stroll through the reserve.
This would have been next to impossible to open without the instructions. Very clever!!!!

AWESOME!! We loved this cache and the effort that went into making it. First off it was a lovely area and we enjoyed the walk in towards GZ. We spotted the cache, but then had quite a bit of struggle before we could extract it. We tried to follow the instructions but couldn't get it to work, so Marco used a great deal of finesse [like an expert safe cracker!] and finally got the cache out. TNLNSL TFTC

I just love it when a hider takes the time and effort to build a cache and sets it out in surroundings that justify it. Thank you. Certainly unique and not expected to be found out here. Had some issues retrieving it but gently gently is the way to go. TFTC TNLNSL #476

What a well thought out and well built cache. It's just a shame that it has had too much force put on it one too many times and when i went to have a go at unlocking the cache i noticed the top has come away from the rest of the cache. Phoned the owner and notified him so he can check it out and have it repaired.
Was able to get the log signed.......TFTC

Had read the notes and decided to see what the fuss was about. Most excellent! Thanks jonignite. Found with Lodessa and geopooches.

Having completed our work for the day, Calypso62 & I headed for this cache. It had been recommended as worth the effort & we can certainly vouch for that. Finding the cache was relatively easy but access the cache a bit harder. Between us, we followed the directions as per notes & soon had the CIH. TNLNSL. TFTC. Just 2 questions jonighite. Any more caches like this & just how did you do it?????

Like others before me, I had heard that this cache was different in a very positive way. I was keen to see for myself why this one is so unique. Geotooter and I made our way in along the reserve track from Cams Blvd Rural. The GPSr said we only had a short walk and we soon found the "cachers path" leading to GZ. The cache was easy to find but retrieving it is where the enjoyment was. With me reading the code and Geotooter performing the maneuvers, we soon had the cache container extracted. The logbook was signed and cache returned. On our return journey thoughts on how it was done were springing to mind. This is a very impressive cache design. Well done jonignite on your ingenuity.

Awesome cache
