A chance encounter with a millionaire Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
By Bells Angels on 05-Oct-12. Waypoint GC3Y4R4

Having solved this great puzzle some time ago, I finally had time today to swing past GZ. My GPS was not really cooperating but the most likely hiding spot wasnt far away. Commenced the search and wasnt quite sure what to do with the hint until finally I saw this brilliant cache. A definite FP for the very clever cache design and the puzzle combination! So great to see this one still going, will need a new logbook book soon but managed to squeeze the necessaries into some available space.

TFTC! Fun puzzle and great hiding spot

TFTC from the Kayakviking! Had the right idea from the start. Just needed the correct TOTT. Then a trip across town.All good.

Out in Centennial Park to clear some unfound caches and this puzzle was fun. Once cracked it was rewarding to get the coords and a cute hide at GZ. TFTC!

30c perfect evening to extend the cycle home and come hunt this one, recently solved. Enjoyed the puzzle, was trying a few things but it did take a little time for the light bulb moment, doh! At the GZ clever hide found quickly, thankfully! Great puzzle and hide Bells Angels #2107

A quick trip to Sydney to meet up with RoamingHowie who was en route to QOGM.
Day Three: More challenges, 8 more LGAs and various other caches of interest along the way as we slowly make our way back towards Syd airport.

We were looking on the map for a cache within this LGA, but not too far east. This matched the bill but wasn’t solved. So a quick download, and using another tott, we soon had the coords in hand.
Thankfully we were able to access gz at this time of night. That’s one more LGA ticked off our list.

Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Bells Angels
~~

Day 8. A last minute plan had been hatched to make my way to QOGM. Very little planning had been done but a very rough outline was in place and it was going to be a day by day trip.

OZHockeyChick had flown in for 3 days of caching around Sydney and Newcastle and today was the last before she flew home and I travelled further north. Making our way back to Sydney ticking off LGAs and target caches was the days plan.

It was a late find here, there were no signs suggesting the park was closed and no gates but it did seem like we weren’t meant to be there so we made quick work of the find.

Thanks Bells Angels for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

As always leannem59 solved puzzle

OCW Geospark62. I solved this puzzle a couple of years ago but have never been able to get here. Great hide, thanks for the puzzle and maintaining the cache. I must say I’m not impressed with the dog walkers who put the dog poo in little bags then leave them on the ground.

My work helped with solving this puzzle as I had a few ideas on what to do and had all the required tools available. As such, I solved this one and a few other puzzles in the area for this trip.

Fourth day of our trip and we have left the Rutherglen Mega and are now in Sydney, obviously. Continuing our usual holiday tradition, Huntress wanted a long run. We ran to Centennial Park and while Huntress did a second lap, I came to collect 3 geocaches. If I planned it correctly and the LGA borders are correct on my map, that should 3 geocaches in 3 different, and new, LGAs.

Very nicely hidden, didn't actually see it twice before I noticed what it was. Signed right on 8 am.

Thanks for the cache Bells Angels

PS. Log wet, shame because it looks like the orginal.

Cache check. Cache is indeed in it's original hiding spot.

With 9 more LGA’s needed to claim a ACT challenge I’d signed a couple of years ago I hired an ebike for the afternoon and set off on a big loop around the Parramatta River.

With 3 LGAs in close proximity I’d solved this prior to my trip but at GZ I came away empty handed after a couple of decent loops. I even checked my solution again to no avail. Could be there (lots of long grass?/weeds) but may not be. Thanks anyway Bells Angels for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

Clear maintenance flag. Links updated

In Sydney with Spiffy- after a long road trip and had a day to kill before my geofamily arrived so we did some freestyle caching.

This cache was a trick find. Puzzle was okay. The last file worked best for me.

Thanks to Bells Angels for the fun and the adventure.

Found at 3:22 pm.
Off on our next day for the quest for a golden dragon with Fleabag and a beautiful sunrise greeted us as we headed off. A bit chilly and windy to start but at least the rain had stopped.
We used the last option. At GZ a search for a couple of minutes revealed the nicely camouflaged cache.
Thanks Bells Angels for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Great camo! The kids initially dismissed it but we got it in the end. The clues didn’t make sense until after the fund. The solving last night was relatively quick considering I’m not that good at puzzles, I saw something that made me think a certain way. Worked out how to do that, and download the file (the last option worked for me) and soon had the numbers. Thank you for a great experience!

Puzzle fell into place quite quickly when I stopped scouring the description and just listened to the track. Great beats! At GZ spent a bit of time sniffing around the wrong tree before widening the search area. Great camo and log in good condition. TFTC!

Eyes this one a while ago but could t figure out what to do. Late one night i had an ‘ah-ha’ moment and figured it out. Got the required info and then on our monday family trip to centennial park we pulled over and made the find! i made it harder then it needed to be, but soon had cache in hand. Great cache and fav point from me. TFTC

Found whilst Father’s Day caching with my youngest. Solved the mystery a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to find today! TFTC

TFTC got it!!

The file for the puzzle is no longer available displaying a 404 error

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Solved this cache a few years back.
A quick find today once at GZ, great Camo.

Bells Angels I found your cache A chance encounter with a millionaire on 18/1/21, 12:15 pm. This is my find 2927 and find # 1 today. Solved the puzzle some time back. Arrived at GZ and after a steady climb up the hill found the well camouflaged cache. Just watch out for the spiderwebs. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

tftc. camo worked well

This was a particularly good find. Great camo too. I can't say I completely understand the clue but managed to locate the cache and sign the log.
I'll take that as a win for the good guys.

Awesome

Fun cache, good job.

Many thanks what a great cache.

Cache in good condition TFTC

I cottoned on quickly to the devilish theme, and got my computer to sing to me I just the right way. This is the first time I have been able to do this...happy dance!
Came by tonight and realised I had to be 'in there', so found a way in and to GZ. Missed on my first sweep of phone torch, but picked up on the return run. Nice cammo. FP for my improved puzzle solving skills and the cammo. Well played

Our run club meets near by to GZ every now and again and we run passed this so often. hahaha Love it. TFTC

Although I've looked at this puzzle a couple of times in the past it was the house puzzle solver who solved this clever puzzle and so it was off to gz with frazeydaze and a picnic lunch to claim the prize. TFTC.

Out caching with oldmorty.
Loved the puzzle. Loved the cache.
Retrieved blanket from the back of the car and sat down for a late lunch.
Altogether a very nice day.
Thanks Bells Angels for placing this cache here for us to find.

Great mystery!
Took 10 seconds to realice what to do, and soon I had the answer!

Tonight I came to do the fins while the moonlight cinema was happening.

Great camo!!
Tftc

Another puzzle solved in cahoots with Martin Cousins, but unfortunately we couldn't arrange to meet for the find. Great puzzle! Had me going in circles but got it.

At GZ I spied the well placed camo and despite the outside being very wet after all the rain, the inside was dry. TFTC

#7605 15:25
As a Christmas gift I received a voucher from my geo-buddy for two hours of push bike fun on a tandem bike.
This afternoon it was time to hand-in the voucher and spend an enjoyable afternoon in Centennial Park. In addition to the caches, we visited the duck pond, the beautiful paperbarks, had a picnic under the trees and watched hundreds of bats flying out at the end of the afternoon.

Of course I did some preparations and solved some of the puzzle caches around the park. This was not too complicated once I located the right tool on the Internet.

Today we pedalled past the cache, and climbed up to the tree. What a fun hide! TFTC!

Had some time during lunch to really sit down and sort this one out. Unsure why it took me soo long to solve, anyway arrived above, at GZ.
Really loved the container, that’s fantastic, haven’t seen anything like it, FP, thanks Bells Angels

#5747 (1 of 4 today)

My major caching goal for 2019 is to have 10 finds on each calendar day.
As I was working towards this last year, I only have 14 days on which I actually need to make a find or two, or three...

The major conjunction of such days is the next few, as getting finds when I’m at the Sydney Cricket Test has always been problematic. So I’ve left a number of caches near the SCG alone, so I could pick them up without too much trouble. Of course two of those are currently disabled! Sigh.

The muggle friend I go with, and drive home, had another commitment tonight, so left early - and missed Greg Chappell summing up the day’s play - meaning I was free to grab caches in the Eastern Suburbs. I managed to grab four - and I only needed one.

Need two tomorrow...
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
My problem here was parking close due to the movie in Centennial Park. After. 300+ metre walk I closed in on a very spidery GZ.
Nice quick find in the end.

Signed and replaced, then off to my next target.

Very nice cammo and find, despite the thorny things on the other side.
Found at sunset by the light of a new moon.
Thanks Bells Angels

I hadn't seen that camo for a while, nearly overlooked it.

Completed the puzzle about 2 months ago and even found the cache a few weeks ago but didn't have a pen to log it! Ahhhhhh. Came back today with a pen and claimed my prize . Thanks for the puzzle and cache! I really need to keep a spare pen on my bike to avoid these situations

Worked out this puzzle a while back and thought why not come and grab it while we're in the area. Great camo tftc

Solved this one awhile back and was finally in this area today soeas able to come past and make the find. Awesome camo. Well done

Once the clue was solved, it became easy. A nice warm day saw me find this and one other in the area. TFTC.

Knew what had to be done but didn't know how. So I past it in to my 11 year old niece. Who had the cords in 2 mins. Nice camp.

We gave this one to my daughter who knows her music. Well she listened and then said I know what to do and moments later she had it solved. So out today to collect. Nice cache.

After having a coffee break we have been out all day thanks to our geoing musical niece we headed for this one soon had in hand

Great puzzle. Great sneaky camo. A favourite from me

Took a minor diversion on my way to work today to have a look at a couple of our previously solved puzzle caches in the Centennial Park area. This was my 2nd of 2 finds for the day.

After finding "Centennial Park Riddle" I drove around the maze of internal roads to eventually reach this one. Couldn't find a parking spot within the park, so headed out onto York Road and managed to find a spot along there. Walked back into the park, via one of the handy pedestrian access gateways, and then headed off toward GZ.

Quickly spotted the nicely camoed cache container, looking very "natural" in it's hiding spot, and opened it up. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Bells Angels.

Find #1570

My fist cache in Australia! (Despite being from here).
A great little hide and a nice spot.
1tb in
1tb out

Please Note: There is a trackable in this cache, but not the one listed as I mixed 2 trackables up. When moving this tb on (TB1MJPA) please log as "grabbed from somewhere else" and the problem will be resolved. Sorry about this.

Knew I was coming over here so jumped on the map an checked the cache situation - mysteries... This one looks good! I figured out I had to download some program but what?? But with the help of a fellow cacher I worked it out. That was cool! After a good find at Give a Fig Jazzzzper and I came here. At the GZ the cache's hiding spot is pretty obvious. Camo blends in well and is novel how you've incorporated it in the cache. Dropped of a TB from Japan. Quality cache, it's a shame this user's no longer active... Tftc

Log to follow

I really enjoyed this cache experience. Thanks BA for this one

Solve this ages ago final ventured across the bridge to get it. Nice puzzle TFTC

An enjoyable puzzle that was solved very easily. Nice camo too. TFTC Bells Angels!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Had a nice time riding our bikes to this one. Walked up the hill, a bit worried about the ground vine we were treading all over. Quick search around the fence line until GPS seemed to spring back into life and took us over to say hello to the local spiders and spotted it soon after. What a clever container. Was moving what I thought was part of the shrubbery to the side and there it was. Clever puzzle also. This was the second one we have seen that used this same technique- very impressive. SN TN left smiley face badge. TFTC

Used my iPod to help solve this. Clever puzzle, good cache camo. I don't like getting spider web in my face.

I enjoyed solving this one with ultimate84. Careful of golden orb spiderwebs around he area. TFTC!

The wife helped me solve this one, but she's home resting while I get the find. Thanks for the cool puzzle and great container.

Came for Moonlight cinema. In between securing our spot and the screening of the movie, I excused myself temporarily to get my hit

The iphone absolutely insisted the cache was ~10m from a sensible spot. I persisted where it wasn't going to be before putting the iphone away and going with logic. Dodged a few webs and made the find.

Pity you don't seem to be active any more - you made some interesting caches!

Geodad showed me how to solve this puzzle.
Nice hide.
Thanks for the puzzle and the cache BA.

GZ had me standing almost in the middle of the roundabout at corner of Birrell St. And Jones St. I assume you 'met' the millionaires Rolls or Beamer or Merc? Hope you were insured! Anyway I hunted around but no Cache prize today!

Thank you for the fun! I had my 5 yr old daughter and 3 year old son out for our treasure hunt. We all had to drive home in our underpants since our clothes were covered in pokey thistles!!

(388) I can't remember solving this, but I suspect I got some help from a more tech-savvy relative. Three minutes at GZ and I saw the unusual container and recognised it for what it was. Nice!

Tks Bells Angels!

TN LN SL. Last of five on a trip around SE Sydney.

I'm on a puzzle bender this week, this one was straightforward, apart from being forced to sit through two minutes of Bjork. Should get 5stars difficulty for that ordeal.
Hooray another Bells cache that was easy to find, fun camo.
Thanks for your prodigious efforts Bells, still gazing fruitlessly at some of the other caches though.

this park is mystery cache central. tftc

Another quick l find with geobuddy AlphaDeltaIndigo. ADI solved this one ages ago but forgot how... TFTC

Had solved the puzzle so long ago that i forgot how i had solve it! Lol
Finally got a chance to find the cache today with pk! It was a qaepag! A typical ba cache is what kp said when he spotted the cache! Pretty amazing condition the cache is in. Log is dry! Fun times! Tftc

Good puzzle

TFTC

So, this one had been on my "to do" list for a while. Knew immediately what was required, but had just not made the effort till a "Chance Meeting with a fellow Cacheophile" it is always a good thing to commune with cohorts for inspiration, ideas and information. Clever como. Fun idea. Spider free at the moment and there are possums living quite nearby, it is spring, the rain has stopped flowers are emerging and there is lots of mating going on in the park. It's a great time to visit.
PS no pencil in cache. Picture as proof!

It's not often the cache description gives a clue as to which software tool to use to find the coords. Circled GZ once in the dark and found the cache on the second round. Got hooked up in asparagus vine. Will return with the geofamily, this is a great one. Have a favourite point and thanks, BA!

Reperio at 1630 in the company of Grub Fred.

We left Newcastle nice and early this morning for a day of caching in and around Sydney, and this was one of three puzzles I had a quick look at last night to solve before heading down today. Having seen a few puzzles like this, the method of solve was fairly straight forward, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Once we arrived at GZ, we poked around in a few likely places before eventually finding the right spot. Not only was the cache nicely hidden, but it was a nicely themed camo container as well. A good puzzle cache all round.

Gratias Bells Angels.

Made the trip from Newcastle with Marcus Vitruvius hoping to complete the August Challenge today, capped off by this evenings Event at the SCG and we did it plus I managed to get 29 for the day, a great day all round! MV had solved this one yesterday, loved the camo, TFTC Bells Angels!!

A devilish puzzle that was fun to solve !!

Loved the camo on this one and enjoyed my walk in this stunning park

Tftc

I had a rare chance to spend some time with just the 3 year old at Centennial Park. After a long play at the playground we headed round to find this cache, which I had solved last night. We were a bit nonplussed to find the road closed in the direction we wanted to go, so had to walk the last bit, but that was an opportunity to enjoy the great weather.

When we got close to GZ we headed up the hill, through some spider webs (which the toddler called 'fluffy') until we saw the clever camo. Nice work! We signed and replaced, then headed back down the hill and back got to the car.

Thanks for the cache.

Got distracted while (unsuccessfully) searching for another cache in the park for a long time and completely forgot this was a mystery cache. So was just following the navigation screen on the phone to the fake co-ordinates. Luckily I had looked up the real co-ordinates in google maps before leaving home so quickly realised something was amiss - otherwise I would have spent a frustrating time looking in the wrong place.

No spiders at the moment in case AlphaDeltaIndigo, or anybody else who hasn't found this cache yet are planning to look - now would be a good time!

This is the sort of cache that makes it all worth while - interesting puzzle, nice place around GZ and innovative cache container.

TFTC

After getting the tool I needed working out the coordinates. I like the camo on the cache too. This was a really fun and interesting cache. Thanks for creating it bells angels.

Worked the puzzle out. Took me a while finally but got it eventually with right tools i got it.
Will find time to do it

Took a little while to work out how to solve the riddle but once we realised the devil worshipper's taste in music and using the right tools, that are easy to get nowadays, we worked out the co-ords and saved them for when we next visited Centennial Park which was today.

Given the low terrain and difficulty rating, we thought we could attempt this in open shoes however would definitely recommend closed shoes given the undergrowth and local residents.

Once the car was parked, we looked up and saw where GZ was likely to be and started making our way up. We grabbed a stick to clear our path as a previous cacher suggested. As we got closer we discovered some very large, 8 legged residents as well as some thorny plants which made the area rather tricky to maneuver around. Looking all around, we finally spotted some looking a bit suspicious and thought could it be? Yes, it was. Success! TNLN, signed the log and went on our merry way.

Excellent camo and enjoyable puzzle. TFTC Angels.

Decided to embark on an afternoon caching mini-expedition starting at Centennial Park, through Paddington and ending at Moore Park. This was #1 of 7 finds on this excursion: I had solved the unique puzzle the previous day but almost abandoned the search entirely after surveying the expanse of thick silky spider webs with their large menacing owners strategically guarding GZ.

Long stick in hand, I cautiously cleared a path forward and immediately noticed something unusual, although took me a few moments to realise that it would lead me right to the cache. Signed log, replaced cache and made a hasty retreat without disturbing the natural residents.

Thanks Bells Angels for such a unique puzzle cache!

solved it! now have to go find it

A few months ago I had the audacity to come with a solution to the puzzle. If anyone is reading through old logs looking for a clue, here it is: the walrus was Paul.

Today was such a nice day that I took an hour out from site inspections for a walk in Centennial Park. Sydney is such a great place to live!

Thanks Bells Angels. The cache and the camo are in good shape. Found at 12:33 pm.

Found with ClazzA on a walk from Bondi Junction to Coogee with a bunch of elderly muggles. Nice puzzle and great camo, thanks Bells Angels.

Another find with thanks to Mr MR

Wonderful camouflage, found with raindoctor. TFTC!

The camouflage had me fooled. But misspalot was all over it like a rash. A really enjoyable cache which gets a favourite point from me. TFTC.

honestly considering the surroundings I was expecting this to be a little harder before i went in.. camo was a nice touch. took travel bug put in coin. sl tftc!

Great little hide. Another fun Bells Angels cache with the cachekids. Had a picnic lunch in the sun just nearby and watched the hordes of dogs out for a play afternoon.

Dropped off a travel bug on his way to see a Kiwi. Tftc!

22/05/13. 1:10 PM. Cache #629. Current streak: 255 days. One of the advantages of being The Devil is being able to hear all sorts of hidden messages in songs, just by listening closely. Most of you would be surprised to hear that most homages to me in music are hidden not in death metal, but in kids music such as The Wiggles. True story. So it was with my demonic gift that I instantly picked up the coords that I needed, in between a spoken recipe for chocolate soufflé and an exhortation to kill 'em all. Today, armed with the coords I needed, I climbed the hill at GZ and searched high and low before remembering I'd come across an extra hint in the process. I then used that hint to find the cache, signed log and returned to its hide. Great cache BAs; a favorite. }:)

Very excited to conquer this cache. Had to hunt around a bit to find the right tools to crack the coordinates. For us, it was much easier to do this on the PC than on the iPad - but that might just be some missing tools in our mental tool kit! Anyway finally got it and laughed when the answer revealed itself. Missed The chocolate souffle recipe but Kid Ron Satan may have been living up to his name and playing a few tricks.

Funny but we think KK may be a friend of Slaytornator's and may have been at work on some short, short Geocaches on the north side of the Harbour?!

So off to GZ we headed on a rainy weekday evening. Muggle-free and a bit slippery, we found a cleverly disguised container. A favourite from us, BAs! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

I remember the night well. I was working in a data centre where I had to enter by placing my palm on a biometric reader. The job was doing upgrades that couldn't be done during the day. It wasn't a great job, I like going to bed early! Plus I forgot how to sleep in years ago and the late nights were no good for me. So I only lasted a few weeks before something better turned up.

So late at night, during a lull in proceedings, I checked my emails. A new cache had just been published, a puzzle from Bells. I didn't have enough time to solve it so I thought I would have a go at it later on. But then there was a storage fault and we were asked to stop all upgrades. We were just waiting around. So I went back to the puzzle. A download here, an installation there and bingo the co-ordinates were in my hands.

When I saw where the GZ was I knew that no one in their right mind would go there in the middle of the night, I knew that there was a high fence that surrounded GZ. I was wrong as scrolling back through the logs will tell you. Anyway it is not a part of town that I frequent often, too much traffic. So it had to wait 7 months. Today on a beautiful autumnal afternoon I left work early and headed over here. Parked nearby and found that there was no need to jump the fence as an ungated entry was just down the road.

I saw a few metres from GZ and ate my lamb and fetta and beetroot and cous cous salad. Always better to eat before you cache, it makes the hands dirty. When I had finished I arose and thought where is it going to be, the answer to which revealed itself a few moments later.

TFTC Bells - a fun puzzle and nice hide. Here is one more favourite.

I didn't have a pen today - added photo of log.

Downloaded an app to help me with this one. Got it, loved the caching container.

Nice spot good fun cache feeling evil left a pirate took geocoin booty tftc another ba spexial

I worked this one out a while ago. Finally had the chance to look for it.
Very busy park, passed a wedding, polo games and many sunbathers on the way.

We now know another reason why we don't associate with millionaires - their taste in music is far-removed from what we like!

Solving the puzzle was easy for us - all we needed was the opportunity. Managing to get away from work on time, Mr Ozjeeper couldn't resist grabbing another Angels cache before picking up Mrs Ozjeeper for a short drive to grab this one.

The runners and cyclists were oblivious to our attempt to find this cache. We suddenly saw something that grabbed our attention. What great camoflage it definately rates a Favourite from us!

We were a little disapointed that the container was not big enough for us to drop off a copy of Salman Rushdie's book. A fitting cache indeed for our 999th (please DO NOT read our log # upside down!)

Took the Cache Mover Geocoin to help with another cache removal and dropped off the ALL In One Geocoin.
