While heading from one Awards event to the other awards event, I found a couple of others along the way.
I had solved this cache back in August last year when I was getting prepared to do the mystery month challenge, I didn't end up finding this one at the time but it as been sitting in my highlighted list for caches to find ever since.
I noticed this one was on the route that I was taking and didn't realise that it had been archived until I updated this file but I thought that I would take a look as I was going passed.
I arrived at GZ and after a short search I had found the cache, the log was signed and I replaced it back where it was found.
**Thanks to *Geopr1ncess* for placing this cache.**

Hi all, sorry to say that due to the owners moving a few hours away, this will have to be archived. Unless anyone would like to take it over of course. Please message us if so. Thanks

Solved this one a few months ago, but saved it for our attempt at the Mystery Cache Monthly Challenge (GC5MTHY). This makes our 16th out of 30 finds. Picked the cache up late at night when the park was quiet and the camo very difficult to spot! Nice work on the cache.
As requested by the CO for completeness, here's a riddle that used to be a favourite of Abby's:
Q: What can honk without using a horn
A: A goose

Solved the riddles a little while ago and just happened to be passing by the calculated GZ, after a little bit a checking we decided to follow the hint and we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.

I'm a bit late logging this cache....well very late really ....and I noticed that it has been archived. It's a shame because the puzzle was fun and the hide was very creative. I hope somebody decides to take it over and keep it going.
Anyway, this was the last day I had to find enough caches to qualify for the [Mystery Cache Monthly Challenge (GC5MTHY)](http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5MTHY_mystery-cache-monthly-challenge?guid=d6d1b5a5-f77c-4e7f-9e08-3126adab0029) by finding 31 mystery/puzzle caches this month. I still had a few caches to go so I headed over this way to find some solved puzzles, including this one which I solved a few weeks ago in preparation for the challenge. This was #30 of the 31 mystery/puzzle caches that I needed for the month.
I spent some time finding the answers to the riddles – several I knew and the rest I found after a bit of research. I eventually came up with some co-ords that looked good on google maps. I dropped by this arvo after a yummy lunch at a nearby cafe. I managed to get a parking spot about 30 metres from my calculated GZ. I searched for a few minutes before noticing something slightly out-of-place and sure enough it was the cleverly camo’d cache. I retrieved the cache and signed the log at 3:25 pm. TNLN.
Thanks TeamTOSH.net and Geopr1ncess for this fun puzzle and ingenious hide. I’m not good at remembering riddles so a friend told me one to put in this log and the other two are from last Christmas’s crackers:
Q. How do you stop a person from drowning? A. Take your foot off their head.
Q. What do you call a girl with a frog on her head? A. Lily.
Q. Why did the tomato blush? A. Because it saw the salad dressing.

After attending a nearby event, 88andy88 & I decided to pick up some nearby solved puzzles. This one nearly had us beat, but 5 seconds before "calling it", 88andy88 spotted the well hidden cache. Cheers!
Q: What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment and never in one thousand years?
A: The letter M

After visiting one event and heading to another OzHockeyChick and i thought we would grab some of the solved list caches we have completed and this little fella was on todays hit list. Nearly gave up and felt very drained looking for this one but pushing on we found the well hidden cache. Sneaky camo i must say.

The puzzle wasn't too hard and quickly we had the location. A quick stop and we found it reasonably easy and the geokid wasn't drained by the searching.

(462) Found on a lovely autumn morning. My 4th cache in Victoria. Nice hide at GZ. I don't know if I would have found it without the hint. Thanks for bringing me to this nice location.
Solved the puzzle through a mix of recall (I know that one!), puzzling and, in desperation, calling on other resources. A fun puzzle.
Tks Geopr1ncess!

Suscoe and the ageing Bushfire decided to start finding some of the many mysteries and a few traditional 's that had been worked out and as the pile is increasing steadily. We have either found or waiting to pick all in Geelong and most in Ballarat so now to Melbourne and the fun begins.
This was my 13th find today in cool but pleasant conditions in an area that I have been to before but was not clever enough to locate this well hidden cache. I was close but not close enough.
I wonder why there are still two containers here as the black one has been filled with water and the log saturated but it is still inside. This is a clever idea that I have not seen before but ticks the boxes for being a good idea so a F.P. from the ageing bushfire
Cache was soon found this time and with the log signed it was time to head for Geelong.
Thanks Geopr1ncess for placing this cache.

frmen1 & I were waiting for Venturer Scouts to finish last night. We've pretty much found all geocaches in the area. So, to fill in time, we solved this one. Took Seal3995 as well and tested her on the riddles just so she didn't get an easy cache lol Found quickly. Muggles not interested in us. TFTC

Had this puzzle worked out a while ago and decided today was the day to make the find. Log was soaked but was able to sign. Have attached another cache container with new log to the original container to keep this one on the map. Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here.
A great puzzle, we solved the riddles last night. Mot of Motndarg was the star here. After a false start, we were off to GZ. At GZ we found the very cleverly concealed cache. Brilliant camo however the log was dripping wet. We dried it and signed it as best we could but it may benefit from a rite-in-the-rain log. Thanks for the great puzzle and fantastic hide Geopr1ncess.
Worked on puzzle last night. Early drive out to GZ, but alas we had the wrong co ords. Did a quick re think, then off again to the correct spot. Quick find , but the log was very damp and needs some attention. Maybe an O ring might help. All signed and away. TFTH
Our first find, done together as a family unit. Have had many years of fun at this great local park.
Signed log, all good.
Signed log, all good.
Fresh new log book waiting to be signed. Well under one name thats already there! Cheeky newbie that came wih me!
Solved this humourous puzzle a little while ago in preparation for an interstate trip. Today borrowed a friends dog for cover and walked over to the bat lair. No probs finding the container but as others have noted the log is a goner.
Word puzzle? Here's one for you if you get to the northern burbs of Sydney Town...http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4Y8JQ_hello-isis-bibeee

I spent last night just working on a few puzzles so that I can get my count up. This was the first of 4 puzzles for he day. A clever hide. The log is soaked and needs replacing. TFTC.
Found it, TFTC! the log is water affected so didn't sign.

Worked out the riddles the other day after managing most of them okay but struggling on one or two. Good fun anyway! Finally came to pick it up, and spotted the hide shortly. Nice. TFTC!
My riddle... It's a well known one but the only one I really know, and I like it.
Q: I have no hinges, lock, nor lid; yet golden treasure inside is hid. What am I?
A: an egg.

#6037 We had been to this cache earlier in the year but unfortunately the cache was MIA at that point in time. It was a return visit to Melbournetown for us this weekend due to a medical appointment, we were very happy to see this cache resurrected once again. The puzzle portion of the cache was great and now it was down to the business of locating the container to hopefully add our smile this time around. We found a very well camo'd cache - we were surprised that the log sheet was slightly damp however it was still OK to sign. It was fantastic to be able to tick this one off and we have to say a big thankyou to Geopr1ncess for replacing the container so that the cache remains in play. Cheers [^]
Had fun solving these riddles and ths cache a while ago when I first decided to have a look at some of the puzzle caches around. Was finally out this way late at night so had the chance to fossick around in peace and eventually made the find. Looked at and dismissed the cache initially before remembering the clue. Clever hide. TFTC.
Lots of fun this one. Very easy find too.
Geokid 5 may have made it a little harder for the next person with the camo when replacing it

Thought the Riddler might get its revenge when a search at GZ with nearby muggles didn't yield a cache. Then found the cache after careful re=look at something previously touched - very tricky !! Thanks for the cache in this lovely area.
Q: What is so delicate that the Riddler can break it just by saying its name?
A: Silence.

Found this very tricky cache today. I had worked out the puzzle and was just waiting for it to come back online. It was a very wet day and I initially was looking in all the wrong places. I eventually found this cache today but due to the wet weather - while I signed the log - I was reluctant to open it up too much and expose the log to the rain so I signed the end of the log.
Thanks for the cache Geopr1ncess and a favourite point given today.

Went to replace the cache today in very similar camo as it was before and in the same position. Please be gentle with it!!
Find #527
Thanks for getting this one back online geoprincess! Had solved this a while ago but saw the list of DNFs. An email to CO confirmed it had gone missing. Waiting for it to come online again and conveniently it was re enabled whilst I was out caching si came to find and claim over a year of unloved days!

This was close to the 2013 Vic Cache of the Year Awards so we had it presolved for our visit - really enjoyed the puzzle by the way, nicely done! Unfortunately it has been a long while between drinks for this cache with the last find nearly a year ago & a couple of DNF's in the interim, we also came away empty handed. To quote an historic figure "Such is life!". Thanks anyway Geopr1ncess, we look forward to returning to this one at some stage perhaps with more success.
I may have solved the riddles but the Riddler got his revenge today...went away empty handed [B)].
Maybe another day...
Maybe another day...
Passing through the area so I thought I'd battle some traffic and get to this cache. Pulled into the side street right by the cache, but for some reason I thought this was a large container. Looked in a few wrong spots before checking the cache details. Then a tiny look around and I knew where I'd find the cache. Thanks for the puzzle guys!
Found by H with The Empire
The Empire forgot the co-ords at home but he was able to use google maps to work out where this cache may have been. What a gun!
We walked to GZ and I spotted the cache very quickly. Feeling like a hero, I updated the fb status to "solving problems, saving lives since 1986".
Ps, is that burger van any good??

Worked this one out during lunch today, a quick find by H when I wasn't sure if it would still be there. I wrote the co-ords on a piece of paper, left it at home. I'd looked at the google maps co-ords and was able to spot where they were referring to in the park tonight. GZ has had some muggle damage but the cache was untouched and pretty easy to find in the end. Thanks for the puzzle, love the batman aspect, great camo on the micro TeamTOSH.net. Favourite point added.

A blitz this afternoon and evening with Erin-Rose and al.Grimes saw me find 18 new caches in one day. This one was #17, found in the late evening.
Riddler's Revenge definitely had Alex and I scratching our heads at GZ. Being an expert riddler and punster, I had the coordinates worked out well in advance, but we still couldn't help broadening our search upon initial failure. When we finally found it, I let out an "Oh, you've gotta be kidding me". Well played TeamTOSH.net!
What is it that:
--the man who makes it doesn't need it,
--the man who buys it doesn't use it for himself,
--the man who uses it is unaware of it?

I was in the area to grab a mixed bag of caches, and this was the puzzle cache I'd solved and needed to complete.
I recall the evening the riddles were solved over a beer with a few laughs. That was fun, and I also recall a fair bit of work was put into the setup of this cache with a cool theme. Top work.
So onto the cache, at GZ my gpsr was telling me where to look and I couldn't see or feel anything. I expanded my search and discovered what turned out to be the cache. Mercifully, CO had made the log easy to get at, which I am thankful for. I get a kick of making a find I bit out of the ordinary, and I appreciate the effort all round. I guess this cache ticks all the boxes .

Found 3:31pm , find # 1828
Had some time today so headed out to Northcote to get some caches with a good number of favourite points.
This one was find # 2 of 6 for the afternoon.
Like many others, I've had the solution for ages but rarely come out this way.
I embarrassed myself at GZ by knocking something which made a terrific racket and took some time to get back in place properly.
Found the originally hidden cache after a bit of a search. Of course it was in the last place I looked and I looked just about everywhere else first.
I liked the location and I liked the puzzle.
My riddle is -
What's black and white and black and white and black and .......
A. A nun falling down the stairs.
Thanks TeamTOSH.net.

This one was a test and congratulations go to TeamTOSH.net for this effort.
B1 loves a riddle while B2 showed the ability at finding the treasure.
What is great about this one is how complete this is an identity.
It is just all there.
When found you will appreciate that, other than a lacking of a pen, the log is easy to access and in great condition. It is a great example of how the sport works. Someone has thought about this after seeing some limitations of other finds that have preceded them.
One day it could be stamped with Geo all over it and still hide just as well.
Just because one person might have seen something like this in the past just no detract from this effort.
Good puzzle, good location and good hide.
Again well done.

A nice puzzle that I solved without too much trouble a while ago but don't get up this way much. I was in the area this morning and stopped in for a look. I've seen a few of these now so had a pretty quick find.

I solved this mystery at home before leaving for Australia - a nice puzzle.
We had a rather long walk in the suburban area to get to the site - rather different from the burstling city centre!
The hide fooled me for some time - but then the gadget containing the tiny container was located.

This was the main reason for coming over to this side of town today.
Well I thought that I had wasted my time and even Mr. Whippy didn't cheer me up. I was about to give up and return another day when I noticed something. Mmmmm could it be? My brain had been working overtime at GZ and getting nowhere. One more try wouldn't hurt would it?
Wow! finally. I congratulated myself as I picked up the container and said a quite thank goodness.
This cache was great and I loved the riddle set it up.
Thanks for all the work you have put into getting this one up and running. A favourite for sure.

Thanks for all the work you have put into getting this one up and running. A favourite for sure.

Find # 2133
Today I was out again with my caching partner in crime SedgwickDave. Today would be a shorter caching run due to me not feeling so great, but I still needed to get out for a bit of fresh air and exercise. We were headed for the Northcote and Westgarth area.
Google was my friend for this one, and today was the day to go and find it. GZ had quite a few options for hiding places but eventually we found the sneaky little hide.
Thanks to TeamTOSH.net for the cache.

Out on a Saturday morning caching run with best buddy ahomburg with today's plan to tackle the caches in the Northcote Thornbury region before the forecast rain arrives. Was keen for some numbers today to push closer to the elusive 2000 milestone that was almost in my grasp.
A nice fun and solvable puzzle cache which was a nice quick find. No muggles about so the retrieval and signing of log was completed without drawing any attention, nice hide too...[^] TFTC TeamTosh.net

Always enjoy a good riddle, even better when accompalnied by a cache. Found in the company of the rest of the facebook assault team. Despite being last to arrive at GZ, I was first to lay hands on the cache!
Why did the computer cross the road?
It was programmed by a chicken.

out with the Facebook Assault team, solving a riddle is one thing, find a tricky hide is another but 6 sets of eyes helps, tftc
Out this Afternoon with the Facebook Assault Team of Rebels Act, Gaga66, Nufrat, Jacimarble and Bexta grabbing a few local caches.
I love a good riddle, what was even funnier was the 6 of us search for this sneaky cache.

Found with the other members of the Facebook Assault Team of Jacimarble, RebelActs, Datruk, Nufrat & Bexta! Yep we defeated the Batsmans greatest foe in solving the puzzle - took us a little while to defeat the find tho! Cleaver sneaky little hide! SL TFTC
An afternoon caching with Facebook Assault Team of Rebels Act, Gaga66, Nufrat, Jacimarble and DaTruk. Have had this puzzle solved for a few months now, but never went to the area. Today with the wonderful aid of cars this cache was eventually in hand, very thankful for the 12 eyes because it took a little while to locate. Loved the puzzzle and the hide was very tricky. TFTC
Sixth of Twenty One finds for the the afternoon, I found this one in the company of Gaga66, Jacimarble, Bexta, Datruk and Nufrat, Now known as the Facebook Assault team. i think certain members of the team got confused by reading the hint they all headed of to an object mentioned in the hint while I trusted the gps and found my self at the other object mentioned, this took a bit of searching before jcimarble came up with the goods. Thanks TeamTOSH.net for the cache.
I really enjoyed solving this, a nice change for a puzzle, and GZ is a fantastic park, beautifully tiered with the bluestones. Thanks TeamTOSH.net, a fave point from me.
How far will a blind dog walk into a forest?
Halfway. After he gets halfway, he's walking out of the forest.

A quick find after waiting out a couple of muggles playing soccer near GZ. They eventually wore themselves out and left. I liked the cheeky hide, thanks for a fun cache!

Continuing on our 2012 Geosportz caching arvo, http://www.cachinggames.com/gz2012/index.php we skipped any caches that had most recent logs as DNF's as we were starting to run out of time, so this cache was next on our list and will form part of the Decathlon (finding 10 caches over 2 consecutive days).
JMelb remembers when this one was published and solved it in a few minutes but wasnt able to go out to make the find and so it was left until driving past today it came up on the GPS when we were heading for some nice easy drive-bys for the Decathlon. So whilst GMelb was at Chicle Cache, JMelb stayed in the car and solved it again using Google for 2 of the answers
So off we went back to this cache and made a nice easy find on the cache. We had to squeeze our name in sideways as the log was pretty full and needs replacing
What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?

We'd enjoyed the riddles a few nights ago, and not been particularly surprised as to the patch the cache is on (a place that got a mention from the incomparable Kevin Smith during his recent Jay and Silent Bob tour visit).
This rainy morning, I decided to do a few drive-ups, and this cache was first cab off the rank. The camo suits its position perfectly... nice choice. Log signed, it was great to be back in the warm, dry car so quickly.
Oh, a riddle... What is dark, but is made by light?

The riddles were easy enough and solved without too much mental strain last night. Well done on the website that gives the answers, it's a good job. Went to GZ today and quickly found the cache at midday. I was going to use this park for a cache at one stage but was thwarted by an earlier cache near to this one.

This was the fourth of about 10 for the day.
Today I wanted to find the top caches in this area, and this cache fitted into that category quite nicely. I solved the puzzle when it was first released, but this is the first time I have been in the area since. As I approached the park, I noticed some muggles kicking a footy around right next to where my GPS was pointing. I started scouting about the area looking for something very different. And then as I sat down, I noticed it. Great hide, it fooled me all right! Well done on a fantastic cache TeamTOSH.net, hope to see more like it .
Now for the riddle: Say my name and I disappear. What am I?

The riddle was solved quickly so that we could head to the coordinates.
Though the name of the park has a historical background we had to grin as it reminded us of this well known marvel hero
Thanks for the riddle

I decoded this great little puzle some time ago.
With a trip nearby to pick up an ebay purchase it was time to log.
As I approached GZ I thought I would be muggled out due to the area.
As it turned out the cache was a relatively quick find after a short search.
Sneaky hide.

P.S. - The more you have of it the less you see. What is it?

My 200th find and what a great cache to achieve this with. Managed to solve the riddles with the help of a few mates, apparently JD and cola helps with riddles! The park was quiet and after finding a mangled green box i searched nearby and saw the item in question. A very clever hide, only wish the cache was bigger so i could leave a tb as a reward. A favorite point given. As for a riddle how about this... What is it you have to keep after you give it to someone else?
after meeting team tosh yesterday at one of my caches.
who by the way. has done one of the funniest logs ever.
we talked about this cache. ( a taste of dejavu.)
a fav point for you.
the amount of work that has gone into making the web page.
pretty cool. with help from my hubby, we had all the answers.[:x]
ok. he is my riddle....
At night they come without being fetched.
By day they are lost, without being stolen.
what are they?

I would of grabbed this cache about an hour ago but there was a muggles car parked right next to GZ. I was alerted to the car being occupied by the sounds of the radio coming from the car as I walked past. I returned after doing some other caches. I have been wanting to grab this one ever since it was out. I solved it shortly after it was published but I was not going to drive all that way in the traffic on the day. Being just after 12AM this was going to be my last cache for the night before driving home. Thanks for a fun puzzle.
Riddle: Whats the name of a cache who cut there leg open 6 nights ago while caching and needed stitches ?

A visit from The Riddeller of Riddells Creek was in order.
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.
Answer: Jvaq
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
Answer: Qnex
Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
Answer: Svfu
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town
And beats high mountain down.
Answer: Gvzr
