For a puzzle of D1.5, this one took ages to solve. After this mornings event at Riverside rocks Park, a small group made their way to find this.With a few sets of eyes looking for the prize, it was blue wattle who made the find All names were added to the log, and we continued our journey. Thanks George MontagueDomsky

Found with GS1947, chamad, Domskey and Dave Wazza just happen to be there as wellThanks for creating, placing and maintaining for our enjoyment Party time GCARTY0 - 05 October 2025 Sunshine Coast

A caching day was organised with Grannysmith, Bluewattle and myself to grab some weird and wonderful caches. It started out with a morning meetup event at Seventeen Mile Rocks. There was a nice group of people attending there and a new adventure lab which had just sprung up was nice to do. There were a few caches that I had not completed in the area. These had either been replaced or I had new solves for since I was out here last time. A plan was made to grab a few of those and then head of to more exciting caches in Pinkenba, lol. This took some working out, the link did not work for me and finally I gave up and asked for helps from a previous finder. It was explained to me but I still could not get it clear. With the group going to where someone had an answer we meet up only to bump into another cacher on site, lol. We eventually found the hide and signed the log. If this is a 1.5 d I really wont touch a 2 lol. Thanks for the cache and the hide. It would be nice if you could check out, **GCARTY0,** see what is planned for October 2025 and be supporting geocaching in Australia. **ITS A PARTY EVENT!**

Regarding this puzzle, it was one that took some time to solve (and I underestimated its 1.5 Difficulty rating). I found the initial information ok, but still couldn't find any headway in, so reached out to the CO who confirmed what I had done, but alas, nothing jumped out like it should have. It was only a subsequent conversation with another Finder that allowed me to finally work out its solution.As this had only been solved within the last few weeks, it was one of my only caches in the area that I had yet to find (but solved). We pulled up, and I searched around, concentrating on the areas as per the hint. Then a small group joined me, and I joked that something would be wrong if none of us could find this one... In the end, it was [Bluewattle](https://coord.info/PR9VYY8) who found the cache, and in a place that hinted at a good hiding nook that I had just searched. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks [George Montague](https://coord.info/PR18ZMZ) for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/[jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) stamp.----------This morning, [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T), baby Cottontail, baby Mopsy, and I tripped to Rocks Riverside Park in Seventeen Mile Rocks. After running its parkrun, we attended [Rockier Saturday Social](https://coord.info/GCAZJ5A) Event, and then we had a play in the waterpark and bouncing pillow. I also walked around with [Brissy Cat](https://coord.info/PR5XF6H) and completed the newly published [Rocks Riverside Park](https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/2cbecdf2-6789-4a0b-8912-d09d0bc62eee) Adventure Lab. A nice family outing on a hot and humid morning.

TFTC smile 20928 Out and about on a Sunny day grabing a cache to try and keep a challenge going signed as GS1947 on small logs On a trip to Logan to catch a few caches Party time GCARTY0 - 05 October 2025 Sunshine Coast come and join us for a great time Thank you George Montague for placing this cache for our enjoyment

After finding a nearby cache with Selva Girls, we came here to grab this one, as it had been in her solved pile for a while. After a bit of looking, we found this sneaky and well camoflauged cache, signed the log and returned it without issue. TFTC and 15 months unloved.

Out caching with 11Pianoman. With the Walter Taylor Bridge closed, we were headed home the long way. This cache has been in my solved pile for a very long time, but whenever I have passed by (not often), there has always been someone sitting close to GZ. Bad timing on my part, I guess. Today, there was no one there, so we were free to search. The cache was quickly located and our names added to the log. With everything returned as found, we continued on our way. It was nice to give this cache some love after it not being found for just over 15 months. TFTC

Checked again and it was not missing but the log sheet was a bit damp, so replaced with a new log sheet. All good to be found again. Surely a lot more cachers would appreciate a beverage?

Checked today and this one appears to be missing. Will replace if necessary in a few days.

No luck with this cache.. Thanks for the hunt.

A quick visit to check, as Mr Harold Beverage is getting a bit lonely. Was no longer tethered for some reason, but found to be all OK, and temporarily re-tethered.

Hi there George Montague: Just a little side story. Some years ago now we saw a Sudoku puzzle you had used to get co-ordinates for a new cache you hid somewhere out near MaaMaa Creek (if I remember that correctly). We'd never done a Sudoku before and I had to drive to a friend's home to get her to show me how to do it. Then as we drove around that day we both took turns trying to solve it. We eventually had some co-ords and went to find it. We could have been FTF but I don't know how to find it now. So thanks for opening the world of Sudoku to us G.M. We've enjoyed them almost daily since.
Now back to this cache. Thanks for placing it for us and others to find. We were caching today with RichmondLad and JooJoo57 making a day out in the area for the winter solstice and the Wheel of Challenges souvenir also. The cache was a quick find due to RichmondLad putting his hand on it and it getting caught on his thumb the first spot he looked. Now that's a rare happening at these kinds of hides.
Cheers and happy caching!

A quick find, log signed and cache placed back where found. TFTC George Montague

Having a lovely Solstice Day completing AL and finding some physical caches. We made an extremely quick find here - it was pure luck! Thanks for the puzzle and hide.

For us this was another mystery solved through the week. The PDF mentioned in the hint is long gone but they now have an Excel spreadsheet on the same site with the required information.

This was going to be our last hunt for the day so we were keen to finish with a win. Our first loop revealed nothing but a twist from an old log uncovered the hide in the spot we were expecting.

We did a bit of CITO here because someone had left a dirty bird box right at GZ. They hadn’t bought a few dollars worth, it seemed like $80 of chicken was eaten under this tree. There was enough food to feed a family of 10 yet none of them were keen to walk 100 metres to use the bin. Maybe they were too full of chicken. tftc

After failing this 2 or 3 times, from silly mistakes to different websites, but we finally got the right coords and found this one after a few minutes of searching in the obvious spot! TFTC

#5716
This one proved 4 years in the making.... I first 'solved' it in January 2019 while visiting, but the coordinates didn't look right, and they weren't. Yesterday did it again, but ended up on a busy street corner in Darra, strike two.
A little advice from the CO showed our method was sound, but the data we were using was partially wrong, one renewed digit and we were good to go. A past log narrowed down what we were looking for, and Samuel made the find, all good!
Thanks for an interesting puzzle, that wasn't too taxing, but still took a bit....

I looked at this one when I first started geocaching a couple of years ago and found lots of numbers but couldn't make sense of it so set it aside until recently. Without really having a good look again, I contacted the CO, who gave me a small hint which was enough to get me on track; though I did notice I had written down some wrong numbers two years ago. But with the correct numbers, it all easily fell into place.
At gz, I poked around the tree and then noticed some wire which had the cache hanging off it. Only took a few minutes to find thank goodness on this hot blustery day. Cache is in good condition. Tftc

Out for a day of caching with KerriMG and with my new car. We decided to head west for today’s adventures.
This was solved a while ago and been waiting for me to head out this way.
Parked nearby and was happy to see that there was some toilets around as well so after using the facilities KerrIMG and I headed down to GZ to start our search. After not having much luck we decided to PAF and with the newfound information it didn’t take long till we see had the cache in hand.

TFTC George Montague

Out for the day with nikid1 on the first day of Spring & what a lovely Brisvegas day it was. I've had this one solved for ages & today was the day to turn it into a smiley. After a good search & reading past logs we hadn't found the cache so sought help with a PAF. Turns out we had the wrong expectations & would never have found it where we were looking. Once we were looking at the right level we soon had the cache in hand & our names added to the log
Thanks for the puzzle & cache George Montague

Out on a caching trip/ maintainence run with RoddyC and Hatsoff. We were going to stop off and have lunch here but no tables and it was sunny so off to find the cache. Searched all around but didnt see it so made a PAF and soon had it in hand. Should have found this one easily but I wasn't sure of putting my hand in certain spots. Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

On a caching and maintenance mission in this area today. Reached out for a PAF. Nice tricky find.

Travelling and caching with RoddyC and imbunda.

TFTCache George Montague

Bit of a maintenance run. With hatzofff and imbunda.

That took a while. A PAF was used.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 1:07 PM on July 24, 2022. TFTC, George Montague

I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since my last visit here… time flies when you’re having fun…

A got a PAF recently about the puzzle so decided it was worthy of another visit… so this morning in the drizzle, Blkthunder and I returned to the same location and repeated the same actions as before, and surprise, surprise we had the same outcome…

So I sent out a cry for help to the CO and a previous finder…. A couple of tidbits from the previous finder and we returned this afternoon…

How did we miss that… tftc…

Three visits and we’ve finally found it… Peppa did all the hard work here while I kept my hands clean…

Ambled over to the cache today and all is in order here.

TFTC.

We found it just as the skies opened up and it started to rain. Hubby left the pen in the car so did a mad dash to get it before signing the log and heading home for the day

I had solved this puzzle a while ago and was out caching this afternoon with GeoM so we came to find it. After searching for a while he gave up and started chasing birds around the oval. I was not so quick to give up and eventually noticed a tell tale sign that led me to the cache. He is now playing at the playground while I catch up on cache logs. TFTC!

Bsck here this morning.
Felt my way to the cache.
I was searching far to close to the ground last time. A bit of support from CO surely helped
Thank you for hiding this geocache George Montague

No, had a good feel in, around and under. No luck for me tonight

I am attempting to increase my skills in solving Mystery Caches... I struggled for some time to get a set of co-ordinates... however with the use of a spreadsheet some useful numbers became apparent... checked Google Earth... well that looks promising... even though I know my projected gz is extremely busy I thought an overcast Sunday would be opportune... nope, still busy... managed to have a hunt round though but came up empty handed...

Will keep an eye on this cache though... it’s quite close to home...

Puzzle was reasonably straightforward, but I got to GZ and wondered how the hell was I going to find it! Fortunately my hand went straight to the cache so it was an easy find in the end. TFTC

Que Sera and Slow puncture found a wayward cache a couple of days ago. Cache blindness on my part when I couldn't find it I replaced it! Oh dear. retrieved the older cache container and had a bit of trouble finding the newer one, but finally prevailed. It is on the southern side of the host.

Saturday. After a shout-out from Que Sera for some needed exercise, we headed off to this puzzle I’d solved ages ago. I admit to really struggling over this puzzle. It seemed as though every link I tried either didn’t work or have the info I needed, so I resorted to help from the CO in the end for a hint. In the end, after several weeks of trying to solve this one and more struggle than I want to note, I finally had the solved co-ords! Yay. Fast forward to today (about a year later) and needing to get some exercise, Que Sera and myself had brought our bikes, but it seemed as though every bike riding trail was closed due to either planned burn-offs or other reasons. We were at GZ and looked and looked - after thinking that we were not going to find the cache after all this, I was about to let out an expletive!

I checked previous finders and rang a very helpful cacher who advised that my co-ords were correct and that we were at the correct spot. A previous log noted a spikey plant, but there were no spikey plant here today - we could see where one might have been however. Finally, after the right angle, Que Sera spotted the wee beastie! Never has a 1.5/1.5 been ecstatically signed. After Que Sera read out the previous finders, I said that I thought it might possibly be the old cache container (if there was one). The one we found was not tethered, and the last signer was Venn Family in Feb 2017. We looked and looked for a newer cache container with the more recent finders, but without success. Seems we were meant to find the old cache container today! We made sure to euthanise our hands before and after with hand sanitiser just to be on the safe side.

This was the 2nd of 4 caches found on this outing.

Thanks ***George Montague*** for showing us this place

I put the call out to Mrs slow puncture to go for a bike ride with social distancing and hand hygiene our top priority we ended up with no bike ride as lots of tracks were closed so we targeted some solved puzzles. At gz it took ages to spot this cache and when we did we realised we found the old cache and could not find the new one. Took photos of cache and log and we were very happy with our find. Thankyou for placing this cache here for us to enjoy and the fun puzzle

Cache notes amended slightly to reflect the fact one of the stations no longer exists.

Took a little bit before we saw the right clue. Tftc

This ended up being a relatively quick find, considering the other times I have tried to find this one. (Admittedly, there had been muggles and the distractions of the geokids in previous visits...) So on a solo visit, I ended up finding it pretty quickly, but couldn't help asking myself why I hadn't seen it earlier! TFTC!

Back in Brisbane again and time to attack this calculated GZ once again. DNF last time and it was gone and many thanks to the CO for the quick response in replacing it. Parked safe and well off road and made the short walk towards GZ. Searched for about ten minutes and could not locate it. I over thought this one and thought the hide would be very tricky. Changed my thinking and my elevation and soon had the cache in hand. Good hiding spot and not too difficult at all. Signed log YOF as that is what I use on small and micro logs to save space on the log. Favourite point from me for teaching me something new and the simple hide at such a spot that could have been much harder due to what is actually there
TFTC George Montague

Out to pick up a few solved puzzles and this was the first one on the list. Found quickly and signed the nice new log.

Found on 4 May 2018. TFTC, George Montague.

Cache has been replaced. Now anchored so it can't walk away!

Flew into Brisbane late Friday afternoon so that I could attend a function on Saturday. In the motel room just looking at puzzles and saw this one had not been found in over twelve months. Came up with a set of numbers and on the way to the airport my friend diverted from the highway so that I could have a look. I saw the two DNF's on this one but thought I would give it a go. I can see where there has been some searching but I also could not find the elusive container.
Oh well, now onto the airport to catch my 1100 trip home. Thanks for an interesting puzzle.

Ho, Hum. 3 DNFs in 2 days. Went to check, and that is 4 DNF's. Will have to replace it shortly.

Was looking for caches to do away from home and this is an area I haven't cached in for quite some time. Saw this one and needed a Puzzle for the Planet Souvenirs.
Found info on ACMA website finally that gave me the numbers to solve this one.
Went out today to search for this one but couldn't locate it.
PAF who gave me good description of where to look but I think the tree has had other plans for this cache.
I only realised when logging this cache that someone had already looked for this today. Also changes to the Stations but they still gave me the same numbers.
Anyway will keep an eye on this one and if the CO checks on this cache.
Thanks for an interesting puzzle.

Well this was fun. Took me ages to work out how to solve the puzzle. When I did two of the radio stations were not on the list. Then I had to resort to Google to find the information when the station were Am and not FM.
Many thanks to George Montague (the CO) for guiding me in the right direction to find the list of radio stations on the web site provided and for correcting the cache description page with current relevant data.
It can be complicated and convoluted search. The 2018 list is here. https://www.acma.gov.au/-/media/Licence-Issue-and-Allocation/Publication/pdf/TVRadio_Handbook_radio_3-pdf.pdf?la=en

I spent over two hours here on five visits trying to locate the container. The gardeners have been busy and there is a lot of erosion on one side of GZ. Thanks for the exercise and fun..
I will have another look for this one when back in Brisbane in about 4 months time.
As I know I was at the correct co ordinates of GZ and I did look I will post a DNF and hope the CO will check to see if the container is in fact there. I contacted a previous finder and was told what type of container I was looking for so with that in mind I should have found it. I either did not dig deep enough or it is gone.
TFTC George Montague

Cache notes have been amended, but cache remains in the same location.

It seems a couple of the stations may have gone walkabout since I made up the puzzle, Will have to check carefully soon. As an alternative, if they can't be found on the ACMA lists, try Google in the meantime.

19/2/17, 12:24 pm Find #1758 Mystery #458

This puzzle took me some time. I found the linked web site difficult to search but eventually I found a PDF that had all the information I needed and the numbers fell out.

The find today took some time as I walked around and round in circles trying to find the cache. But when I finally got up close and personal it revealed itself.

TFTC George Montague

In the area with ankakeca after a paddle on the Creek, so we stopped so I could grab this puzzle.

I have attempted to solve this puzzle a couple of times, but made it far more difficult than necessary and got nowhere. Last night the numbers finally sorted themselves out. Today I had no trouble making the find. TFTC, George Montague.

Boy we over-thought this puzzle! We've looked at this one many times over the past year. Then yesterday we had another peep and saw 'something'. How come we didn't see that before?
With a spring in our step we made our way to GZ. Nice cache. All nice and dry despite the storm this arvo.
This find today completes our caching calendar
Thanks heaps for the puzzle and cache George Montague.

After a work meeting I decided to do some caches. With the help of a friend, this puzzle was solved in April this year. I just hadn't gotten around to finding it. Today was the day. I searched for quite a while. I found the lid of the old cache. Eventually I spotted the nice new cache. How did I not see that earlier!!! TFTC and the great puzzle! I'm glad to finally have a smiley for it.

Puzzle was easy once I found the more condensed info.

At GZ I was greeted by some friendly magpies and a flock of lorikeets.

The cache is in excellent condition with a new, shiny container and an almost (apart from my scribble) empty logbook.

TFTC

Wandered past and decided to stop and check. All is still OK, but the cache is getting a bit lonely! Almost in the unloved category.

Container replaced with a Bison container. Should be OK now.

Don't know how the last two entries ended up in March. Both should be 26 April!!!

Driving past early this week, checked the cache and found maintenance work needed. Made a mental note, but other pressing tasks intervened.
Will fix as soon as possible. Meanwhile time for another beverage!?

The puzzle was easy enough, got the coordinates OK. However, it appears the container has been eaten by a giant fungus and all that is left was the base of the systema.

Warning, if the giant fungus doesn't get you, the maggies might. The cache is in need of replacing. Clever puzzle, shame to see it so unloved.

It is with pride that I log this find.

Back available. The old cache could not be found - presumably in the rubbish bin, or still under 1/2 metre of wood chips.

Cache replaced, same coordinates.
Now small Systema container, no camo.

Well it seems council have been 'beautifying' the area, and buried the cache location in about half a metre of mulch. The container may still be underneath, but will have to check in the next few days, and replace the container if I can't find it.

TFTC. #331. Solved a long time ago and finally time to get the find. A big oval here. Quiet today but I can imagine it gets used in season a fair amount.

Haven't been here since it was a tip years ago. Nice to see it with trees.TFTC

Indeed it was a good day's caching (if you discount my TomTom's naughty tricks). We were off to a good start with this one. Thanks to karenhippo for lots of research on the puzzle.

I was out today with Bristracker picking up a bunch of solved puzzle caches and some Oxley puzzle caches. This was number one cache for the day. Solved a while ago, and now signed. This was an easy puzzle to solve . Found quickly, and a great start to the day. TFTC

Solved this one with WTF21 well over a year ago and never got around to finding it. We are getting ready for a move to Canada so that Mrs THR can give birth to baby hunting rabbit so have decided to clear up all the solve but unfound puzzles. The area was quiet but looked like a dump. After a bit of a search Mrs THR came up with the cache. TFTC and puzzle George Montague

Solved this one probably over a year ago!! Finally in the area so well overdue.
Looked like a bit of a dumping ground at Ground Zero but the cache was turned up with no problems.

TFTC.

Was nearby on business today, and was able to make a find on this one. Had the co-ords for a little while and was muggled out before trying the last time. This time, the GZ was spot on and I put my hand on the container the first part I checked out. TFTC

I remember looking at both this cache and another nearby Unknown when they were first published. While I was initially stumped by both and had no idea how to work out the coordinates. After looking at the correct document on and off for over a year, something finally jumped out at me. Well I'll be damned. It seems I was thinking far too laterally, when the answer was almost directly laid out in front of me and just required substitution of the correct digits.

I set out today with the coordinates in hand to a semi familiar GZ. Once I reached there however, my GPS ran out of power and left me with only my smartphone. I managed to keep it alive for long enough to grab the coords, and entered them manually into the app.

After checking a few obvious spots, I decided to move further along. A muggle I spied walking his border collie around was nearby, so I meandered around till he left in his car. I took a lap around the area, before coming back. I found another likely spot, and used a nearby stick to do some prodding, which almost immediately uncovered the cache.

With the area clear, I was able to grab the cache, and sign my name.

TFTC.

Some time ago, when I was struggling with this puzzle, I reached out to the CO for some help. Quite rightly I was told to try harder, and given no help what so ever. I slogged on and ended up solving it by myself. I was thrilled and proud at my achievement. I was new to puzzles at that time, and needed to the kick in the pants. This has defined the way I have attacked puzzles since then, and helped me to get the joy of the aha moment over and over again. I cant thank you enough GM, except that to let you know that i left this one until a milestone cache...my 100th puzzle find!
I have been on a quest for a cache a day for 366 days in a row, and must confess that I have ben to GZ before. As I pulled out the log that day a new cache was published, and an FTF was up for grabs some 8km from where I was....so I retuned the cache unsigned, and ran off for the find (i got it BTW!) to keep this one for another day. So today was a quick run out to grab this one again.
All is well with the cache and log book. I took two TB's to log into a Western Suburbs Brunch BBQ that is coming up in 2 weeks time. I hope the CO can attend.
Cheers, and thanks again for the kick in the pants. I love puzzles, and as the last finder said...do more!

Picked up a TB and dropped 2 others

TFTC finally got around to knocking off this one. I overthought it, but was glad when the numbers finally popped up. I love your puzzles, George Montague. Please do more?

Dropping TB. Log to come

Another puzzle solved some time ago and finally picked up. Thanks again George Montague.

This cache came up in the *ahem* conversation at a recent Kenmore cachers catchup. It's not that we just sit about and discuss puzzles we can't solve. No we also reminisce about classic caches and spend time wondering how the ControlFreaks seem to be able to solve completely dastardly conundrums with apparent ease...

In any case I got a nudge that I was looking at the right numbers in the wrong way. I worked the puzzle again and what dya know. There is the answer.

So I dropped by on the way home from bridge and made a quick find.

Thanks for the puzzle and the cache George!

On a morning out caching with OrionJ and found this one without any problems. TFTC

I was suppose to be out here with a little puzzling yesterday, however was turned off by the rain and such and missed that fun adventure. So today was out in a much drier weather with the Geoparents LHE Duo.

At the time I found this yesterday I will admit that I had not solved the puzzle and had the coords in a message in the phone. However this morning before doing this little log, I had a look at the puzzle and have managed to solve it with a little searching. Quite a fun little hunt and found some information that I never knew I would even need to look for.

At the cache yesterday though it was even easier then the solving this morning, the coords were good and almost walked straight up to it.

TFTC.

A certain feathered friend had mentioned her frustrations with this cache, and as I was doing a puzzle solving blitz out this way, I decided to give it a look

As things turned out there was a lot of information in the listing and the only thing that slowed me down in solving the puzzle, was scrolling up and down the website to locate the coveted numbers. This was a five minute quickie!

So, out this morning with Swellie and Eggs and we decided to clear up all the puzzles we had solved in common, and arrived near GZ in the Zoomin Schroom. Didn't bother to put in the coords as there were only two possible spots it could be ... Nope, not at the first, so Eggs shot down the slope ... Gotcha!!!

TFTC George, neat little puzzle and an easy find A FAVE point from moi.

Read way too much into the puzzle to start with. A re-read of the question had me away on the right track. Located cache after a short search, despite the prickly bush.

I had easily solved the puzzle but I waited until I was in the area to retrieve the cache.

Today I was nearby so I ducked in for the hunt just before it got dark.

Luckily I spotted the hiding spot quickly after avoiding those sharp vines.

I signed the log and retreated onto the path in front of a female muggle walking here dog.

A few apologies to her and I took off.

TFTC.

It's amazing what can be turned into a set of co-ords.

At GZ, there were a couple of men making use of the airways to keep a couple of planes up in the air and while teir eyes were averted, I hunted around for a bit before revealing the cache. With everything tucked away, I was about to set off when a fourth pilot turned up and walked straight pasted me. If he saw me, he kept it to himslef.

tftc and puzzle george montague.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to latch onto the fundamentals of this puzzle and when I flicked through the information, I missed the obvious...

Once I broke through, the finals fell into place and I had a location to head to. I arrived today and pulled up in the car park. Hmm, some work going on "down there" and a cabin in the car park. I was approached by a lady who advised it was a work site and I probably couldn't park where I was. No problem I said and I relocated to a roadside parking option... [^]

A short stroll in to GZ, I spotted the cache, but couldn't get to it for the rather large puddle that had formed just in front of where I needed to be... Hmm... A quick readjustment and I had to approach from the thorny side to extract the container. Brushing the nasties aside, I reached in and extracted the prize. I added a sticker to the log and tucked it back, adding a good layer of camo to keep it safe.

Cheers George Montague.

How embarrassing.... A transposition error had me in a completely different place on the first attempt. Don't tell anybody . With that sorted I had the coordinates where the cache was actually hidden.... It does make a difference . Set off with geokids this afternoon. A great big digger was parked next to the parking spot so that kept the geokids entertained while I had a quick search. I approached from the wrong side initially and found myself in the clutches of a nasty thorny bush. With the right approach sorted, all was good . Quite a neat little puzzle and hide.

Cheers George Montague

First to DNF . I'm pretty sure I got the coordinates out for this correctly, I quite enjoyed the puzzle and working through it. All in all pretty straight forward & got something useflul pretty quickly. However - got to GZ today as we were over this way for our favourite burger joint. I was getting some GPS bounce but that's no excuse. I found a few possibles and one probable hiding location but couldn't turn up a cache. If I'm in the right spot I think it was well and truly high enough that the recent weather shouldn't have been an issue. My search was cut short by a call to come and grab geo son who was causing mrs PJATPAC trouble at the burger joint . Anyhoo, I'll give it a shot another day.

Cheers George Montague

A little late in logging this one.

After some effort this one was finally solved by Mrs Geo.

Nice to tick another one off so close to home. Cache was all nice and dry.

TFTC

As we were coming into this area Loki suggested I have a go at this puzzle, so after a bit of searching I figured out the coordinates .

The cache was found easily and all is good with it.

Thanks

I had a brief look at the puzzle when it was first published but didn't investigate in too much detail. I came back to it a couple of days later determined to take a closer look and very quickly, the right numbers started to appear. Google maps looked promising and today we were investigating on site. Sure enough, a search revealed the cache. All in good condition. Thanks for the lesson and puzzle George Montague

Out caching with mr_fy today.
Beverage Caught my attention fairly quickly.
WHAT [?] Not about beer.
a cool puzzle non the less.
I soon had it sorted and off to GZ we went this morning. After a bit of searching we finally found it tucked away well camo'ed.
Thanks for the cache.

Quickly solved this early this morning before heading out with Brother Colin.
Once I had the puzzle solved, finding this was easy but BC beat me to it at GZ.

Yes, I was slow off the mark too... And even when I found the best spreadsheet with info, I just couldn't spot the right numbers. I even wrote them all out by hand and still couldn't see anything. Eventually I resorted to a request for a nudge as it was really getting me down! Sure enough, it turned out the usual numbers were right there in my notebook... I blame my handwriting. Thank goodness I wasn't chasing the FTF here as that would have been mighty embarrassing!
All fine and dandy here this afternoon; very peaceful indeed. Thanks for a solvable puzzle, GM; not seeing the right line was certainly all my own work.

I was a bit slow to move on this one (concentrating unsuccessfully on another puzzle) but took the opportunity today to work out the numbers. Wasn't quite sure what I had to do but it soon came together.

Arrived at GZ mid-afternoon - no deers out this way today, just somebody out flying a model aeroplane but fortunately far enough away for me to make the find out of sight.

Thanks George for the cache.

Not usually one for these question type caches goldielover and I were in form tonight. Now two in a row ftfs. While logging the first one we got a call, U going to the other one? Yep! see you soon. Arrived at GZ to find a puffing and excited 5meerkats. Had just seen a Deer! Oh no where is my rifle when I need it. Oh well, back to business. We soon had the cache and got our signatures int the log. It was too dark here tonight to survey the surrounding area.
Great cache George Montague.

Found with stairman1 and 5meerkats. We were on a roll of FTFs tonight. This was our third one. We had just logged our second find when a surprise phone call from a fellow FTF chaser came asking if we were coming to join him.Sure why not. Rushed over to GZ and was greeted by a happy meerkat. Signed our names then gave 5meerkats a lift home. Stairman1 was unimpressed about missing seeing the deer. Thanks George for a cleverly designed puzzle.

Joint *FTF*. Log to follow. George Montague, did you lose your sun glasses? Call Scott on 0448 715 449 to collect!
