This one is really too close to public thoroughfare, thus I'm abandoning it.

I do however have plans for another in the area

This one, as suggested, has been muggled.
Seems I'm going to have to find a trickier container..

Solved the puzzle and went to GZ and looked all around.
I think this cache has been muggled.
Need a maintenance check
Thanks for the puzzle gumbosan

Ill take a look over the coming week.
For those stumped on word counts I encourage you to consider the clue
Cheers, Gumbosan

This cache popped up nearby while I was busy doing some maintenance on a nearby cache
I thought I had better investigate
At GZ there was a crowd, as you would expect on a Saturday arvo.

I found a shady spot, away from the crowds and fired up the magic gadget [:o)]
The anticipation was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
TADA !! A couple of words appeared out of the ether [:o]

Now to solve the puzzle .....

Things went swimmingly until question four.
Er ... what third word ?
I only had two !!

So I sat down to think about possible 'alternate' names a council would give it's WiFi.
Hmmmm what about "Fi Fi"... nah !! That's what you name your poodle.

I was officially stumped

Out and about with the lovely Net88 and my mini munchkin for a puzzling kind of day. I had heard about this cache from a few other cachers and thought it best to come have a look see today seeing as we were in the area. We parked Spangle and Net88 got down to the solving and a few cheeky comments thrown my way in the process! Thanks Net It didn't take the wizz kid long until she had a green light coming our way with a good set of coords. Rightio, off to find us a cache then.

We toddled along with MM holding my hand and reached GZ in no time at all. Ok, now where is that cache? We searched and searched and searched No cache to be found! Hmm, a PAF later and we at least knew what container to keep an eye out for. Another long search later and I finally had the well hidden cache in my hand. YAY! We signed the log and replaced the cache as found.

Out caching with Nyssaflutterby for a day of puzzle collection and the odd traditional between the ?'s. I had been to this area before with P`prime on our celebrate Primes birthday day. I knew we could grab the required info from the carpark so we pulled up and i got underway working it out. "Hey nyss, do you think that because it asks that it means that?" "Yea that makes sense! " A few moments later (Congratulations you have....) YAY!!!!!! Off we go. We got to GZ and couldn't find the cache at all. We made a paf for a hint on the container. With a hint we started looking again and a few minutes later we had the cache. Thanks for the cache and the fun puzzle that i could solve

Ring past this one while out on the cycel this morning and decided it was time to stop this one from mocking me any further. Whilst the cache came to had quickly I could not say the same for my glasses which dislodged while I was looking for the cache.

10 min later i found them in the shadows.

Out and about in the area today, and as geowife scored a new smartphone for her birthday it was time to put it to the test.

OK, I will admit, we had to PAF because one of the questions didn't make sense to us. [xx(] of course, now it makes sense.

Questions answered, calculations done and co-ords entered. Make our way to GZ, and then this took a bit. Finally Barb came up with a well hidden cache.

Great little cache. Scores a favourite from me.

TFTH

out collecting some puzzles and called in to find this one on the way home

thank you to geo-husband for my birthday pressie of a new phone

thought i was just being blonde so rung a pab (phone a brunette)
oh now i get it

puzzles solved
cache found

I had spent a great day at my granddaughter's first birthday and topped it off by finding this one on the way home. Thanks gumbosan.

We have been watching the logs come through and approached this with some trepidation. Found the force we were looking for and did our calculations. We had 2 possible answers and both were within easy walking distance. We didn't realise there was an evince on the page to check! First GZ was not promising but #2 definitely looked good. A systematic search revealed this familiar container and we happily added our names to the logbook. Glad to find this one first go. Thanks gumbosan

Take 2: arrived to find orienteers running everywhere. Did more research at the board and this time felt more confident with different words. My result looked like a maybe though it was still far enough away I opted to drive closer. My phone was so low on charge I didn't bother checking with Evince... And then it ran out just as I was arriving at my predicted GZ. I would tell you where I was at that point, as I suspect it would give you a good laugh, but I am now thinking of hiding a cache in there myself as I was quite taken with it... See you next time!

Last week I was fooled, this week after 30 min looking I checked with a previous finder to see if I was looking for the right type of hide. The information provided confirmed what I had been looking for but another complete search still drew a blank.

1/04/13 Find #999

We arrived here this evening to find the nearby structure filled with people and we were a little worried that we would not be able to find this one with all the activity going on. We proceeded regardless and gathered all the required information.

After retreating to the car to do the calculations, NyletaM and I had a set of coordinates that looked good, and the evince agreed with us (Interestingly enough evince told us that we had tried too many times - seems I had accidentally connected to the wifi in question - a lot of cachers trying in the last 10 mins - disconnecting from that fixed that problem).

We took a short stroll to the coordinates and after a quick search we found the cache and stopped to sign the log.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache gumbosan.

Characters, words, letters?????? - Something here is making an April Fool out of me

Well this one certainly had Alkzura and I scratching our heads at first. Then suddenly the penny dropped.....ohhhhhh....yes that does look like a good spot for a cache now doesn't it. [8]

A short stroll and a quick hunt revealed exactly the cache container Alk had predicted, then it was just a matter of signing the log and another Unknown cache has a smiley. Yay!

I confess to not solving the puzzle until after I'd found the cache, as I happened to be in Fangsoki's company when he felt the urge to search for this one. As is my specialty, I chose to start my search in the furthest of the possible locations, while Fang managed to start at the right spot, and it wasn't long before the hide was uncovered. A couple of days later, I came back on my way home from work as the puzzle style seemed worth a gander, and I enjoyed the interesting style though I can see how it can be confusing at the same time. Ahh, the benefits of hindsight. TFTC, gumbosan. =^.^=

After attending to one of my long walky caches with Miss La Kedi, I managed to convince her to help me look for this one again - even though we were both knackered!

We made our way to my GZ that I had calculated last time and start the fossick again. Aha! A little birdy had told me I should be looking for one of these containers. Personally, I think these containers are more a "micro" in size - rather than a "small". It does not, however, explain why I did not find it the first time!

We signed the log and Miss La Kedi kept watch for muggles while I returned the beast - hidden away nicely. It was in great condition.

Happy to have this one crossed off. Good to do a puzzle with a difference. TFTC gumbosan

Excellent Fangsoki !

I was planning to go check on this one tomorrow, but sounds like all is well

I , too, scratched my head at what was being asked. I can understand why people think it may have changed. But I soon sorted what was happening.

Unfortunately, I was unable to come up with the final cache today. I'll keep an eye on it and try again another time. TFTH.

Needing a cache today and after suffering a DNF nearby, I pulled in here expecting an uncomplicated find. However, it was not to be. I thought all was well until I hit a question which told me I was doing something wrong and my guess at a solution didn't suit an earlier question. So I'll leave it for today and check it out again soon, I hope.

We started earlier in the day and collected the necessary information, and after some number crunching we did have co-ordinates that sense. We decided we would think about it and came back later in the day. We made a PAF who gave us a nudge and after some more thought we realised the fly in our ointment of logic.

We came back late in the day and a quick find to Kaisho53.

Found this one while out with Gunnie69 and Kaisho53 tackling some puzzles and multi's on the northside.

TFTC gumbosan

Out & about with Gunnie69 & Ghostgums today

Take two fro this cache today - earlier attempt at start of day proved a no show.

(turned out some on site info had changed)

PAF during day provided us clarity so we are back....

Numbers for GZ sorted we homed in - main trick was keeping Ghostgums away from the bush wasp nest - nearly head butted it twice which would not have ended well [B)]

After a short search I located a container and all was well

Nice Quick find

TNLNSL

Thanks gumbosan for the cache

On the trails with Ghostgums and Kaisho53, we had swung past this one at the start of the hunting day but had a little trouble deciphering the information and thought the title of the service might have changed. So, we left it alone and sought some clariication from a previous finder throughout the course of the day, the revisited the site as we finished off... [^]

With the final location calculated, we arrived at a likely place and there was a "sign" that we had got the numbers correct... Into the search, we covered the area and had nothing in our hands, until Kaisho53 swooped on a spot that I had missed on my run past a particular patch... Oops...

Thanks for a puzzle with a slight difference. I can see how the questions have been causing some confusion...

Cheers gumbosan.

After some good work by Jenn_Eth to determine the coordinates, we made our way to the spot, only to be stumped... that is until we re-read the logs and some useful information there helped us and we found the container quickly afterwards. TFTC gumbosan.

Coordinates was quick & easy to determine. Finding the cache took a while. Luckily Matt_Eth checked the logs and we finally found it . Found with Matt_Eth . TFTH .

Saw this one come out when we were on holidays in Victoria and liked the idea of it. Today we went to find another cache not too far from this one, but dnf on it so we decided to pass on by this one and see how we would do. No problems to start with but then we hit a problem and after a PAF (twice) we nutted out the numbers needed to venture on to GZ and after a circle around twice at this very busy place, we eventually found the little critter tucked away nicely.

Thanks for a different way of getting a cache.

Out and about after work, picking up my cache-for-today. This is a new one near where I shop so I had no trouble finding the start. Nice to see the Council being so technologically advanced! I had no trouble connecting and then started the number crunching, but ran into a problem. I even tried ringing the help-line number on the information board but that didn't change anything. So I decided to make a PAF and got some clarification, then continued with the numbers to create a GZ. A short walk later and a little search got me the find. Seen a few of these containers lately. TFTC, gumbosan.

An attempt in the cool of the early evening did not work out... we suspect that the name of the wireless point may have changed. Email to follow. Thanks for the cache, this is a really nice park to visit.

Congratulations on FTF totalube and willis007. Well done.

Woohoo - joint FTF with totalube. Our first ever FTF!

I too had been pondering tropical coloured plants earlier this afternoon, and after spending about half an hour on it, decided to go and join some friends for dinner. So after dinner at the nearby Everton Park pub, geoson and I took a detour to scope a potential hiding spot for our upcoming puzzle cache. After doing this, we drove past this particular street on our way home.

I pulled into the driveway at home and for some reason checked my phone for new emails. Well, what do you know, a new cache just 5.5km from home - we must have driven right past the street just as it was published .

Geoson was very keen to head back and attempt our first FTF, but on discovering it was a puzzle I was reluctant. But he managed to talk me into it, so knowing there were no radars back that way we headed back a little quicker than we probably should have

As we pulled into the carpark at the listed co-ordinates, we saw another car parked in there. Geoson was sure it was another cacher, so he was out of the car and chatting away before I had turned the car off. Lovely to meet you totalube . We discussed the finer details of the puzzle and after coming up with some numbers, decided to head off and have a look around.

Before too long we had found ourselves a cache - the log was signed and cache returned to it's hiding spot. Totalube was kind enough to give us the tb which we will send on it's way. We then chatted about other puzzles, and as we made our way back to the car park we found another car parked there. The driver didn't get out of the car, just waved as he drove off.

Thanks for the puzzle and tb gumbosan.

I was sitting at my desk pondering coconuts, timber and some nasty thing I could do to a certain puzzle cache hider when this notification came up. Hmm, I think I could do this one . So I got on my shoes, grabbed the GPSr and off I went.

I know this park very well, but didn't realise it now had WiFi, an added bonus, WiFi, a playground for the kids and a cache or two

At the listed coordinates I got me clues and pondered over the numbers until I spotted another car pulling into the car park, can't imagine many people stopping here tonight for other reason and sure enough I met Willis007, very nice to meet you both

So with some maths at hand I had a set of numbers and together we set off to find this cache. While searching, we chatted about some puzzle caches and after confirming the numbers we right, we spotted the cache

On opening we had a joint *FTF* at around 9:00pm

On returning to the car park we spotted another car pull in. It stopped for a while then pulled away waving as they went. I am not sure if this was another cacher or not [?]

Thanks for a nice little puzzle and hide
