Found GZ and scratched around. There is two large rocks and a large stump. Looking at the previous pictures it appears the stump used to be a tree that has sufferred the wrath of the chainsaw. There is a good chance I am blind and just missed it but it might need a check.
The first part was easy but the puzzle took quite a while because my motor skills are now no longer what they used to be.
A different cache and bit of fun..thanks sno seeker.

A great cache and fun idea. As it was raining we took it in the car to "solve'. All 4 of us had a go and the egg patiently got there. A favorite from us. TFTC.
ps. As we arrived we witnessed part of a big tree crash to the ground.

After doing SpatialRiq's Earth-cache at Bold Park this one looked intriguing so I ducked over to have a look.
Found the cache easily enough - opened it up and found the puzzle. What an awesome idea! Took a little while to roll the ball around to the right spot but was too quick with the opening mechanism and it relocked itself - so I had to do it all again! Oh well practice makes perfect . Signed the log and replaced the cache - definitely worth a favorite point. TFTC sno seeker...

I remembered looking at this cache when it was published, and reading some of the logs, but I hardly ever get out this way. So, today I was driving past, and stopped in, and approached with some trepidation about the puzzle that awaited me.
Well, I was very pleased to have the log book in hand 5 minutes after first spotting the cache's hiding spot! I left a few items of swag in the outer container as well.
Thanks for the cache sno seeker!

Out with my daughter "caelagrace" to find a few caches this afternoon. This was the last of the three and also the biggest challenge. Finding the actual cache was not difficult but getting the log took us about 20 minutes. We got there in the end though and it was high fives all round. I haven't really done a cache like this before so it was a good change. Awarding a favourite point for originality.
That took a lot of fine motor skills and not a little bit of swearing.

Out needing a puzzle form 7 souvenir collection, I thought I would give this one a go.
Very nice idea and can be quite tricky. With a little help from the steady hands of the geo wife, we had it solved quickly.
Nice cache snoseeker def worth a fav point

Found! And an easy solve as previous cacher only rolled the ball back two spots! Rolled ball alllllllll the way back for the next cacher :p
Finding the cache was the easy part of getting a smiley here. Then Herts Skip took over and after about 15 minutes he finally got to the log book.
Chwiliwr kindly agreed to take us out to find a few more caches after the event. As we hadn't found a Western Australia mystery we headed here. Took a while to get the orientation right, but got there in the end. Good cache.
I had an idea what to expect at GZ and came armed with a couple of very useful implements. I located the container, found exactly what I thought I would find, then got to work. [^]
I retreated back to the car for a little comfort and within a couple of minutes, had the log out and my details added...
Nice and quiet here on a Sunday so I strolled casually back and dropped the container in its lair. We have a couple of there floating around Brisbane, they do make for a "character building" cache...
Cheers sno seeker.

Found at 12:32:00 PM on 08/02/2014.
On the family day out, we were supposed to be heading for Kings Park for some lunch after doing the near by earth cache. I managed to convince them to stop and have a go at this one.
My son grabbed the prize and I had the log in hand within about 30 seconds as the last finder didn't make it too hard! I then made it hard for my son who took a couple of minutes. We then made it hard for the next finders!
Thanks for the cache sno seeker

Picked a cool morning to do this. Parked in the shade, made an easy find. Then it took me a while to open it but I got there! Swapped the pathtag that I could see inside the whole time.
Congrats to the previous finder Justintime, I bet you got into the cache quicker than me.
And TFTC sno seeker, great cache and a fave from me

Normally I am no good at puzzles and avoid them like the plague, but seeing as this was a field puzzle I thought it might be within my capabilities.
Justintime made the find today and we he asked if he could open it, I was all for it! Hahaha I have come across these before.
We got into it eventually, signed the log and left a tag for the next finder.
Thanks for the cache son seeker.

I found this while mum was looking at the wrong tree. I also got it to open, it was pretty cool. We made some swaps and replaced the cache well.
Thanks for the cache, it was fun!

Stopped by on my way home from training, what a great cache, brought my geokids back to have a try.
Finding the cache was no problem. Signing the logbook was another story altogether. Accompanied by Fairway Drivers we tackled this cache complete with an evening meal, a glass of wine, desert followed by coffee as the cache was passed from hand to hand. Mrs Fairway Driver finally gained access and signed tge log. Completly unashamedly we happily signed as well. After all it was a team effort.
Thanks for the challenge and have another fav from us.

We arranged with jacaro44 at the New Year pirate event to come back and do the possum run. So while waiting for the sun to set we came to this one. Had a quick look then decided it would be a great idea to have our picnic here while we figured out how to get this open. Lots of fun. TFTC. Giving a favourite.
We decided to park in the shade next to GZ so we could work the puzzle out in the comfort of the air conditioning.
I suggested a certain tool may be useful and luckily ooh yeh had one. After a couple of mins, the door popped open and we were able to sign the log and lock it back inside the puzzle.
A favourite point for something different.

Out on a very hot day with skippy 46 to pick up some caches. I was hoping to get a lot of caches today as we left early but my plan of action didnt seem to happen as the geohubby who is away had a day off and solved 8 puzzle caches yesterday so we had to divert to go and find those ones plus i was determined to find the 3 duck 43 caches that i hadnt found yet so after all that we only ended up with 15 finds for the day. I was a bit naughty at this cache and drove the car right up to GZ as it was 37 degrees and there was lots of shade under a closeby tree. Found the container the contained the puzzle and handed it to skippy 46 to work out. After a few minutes i decided i had a tool in the car that might help with the cache so handed that to skippy 46 and after about 10 minutes the little door opened and the log was signed. Thanks sno seeker for a fun cache....
Quick find at GZ. I then sat for 5-10 min wobbling the box til finally the door opened! Signed the log and returned from whence I came. TFTC
After reading the description and the logs for this one figured it would be a good fun challenge on a day when time wasn't a factor, and as I had a few hours still before dark set in, with nothing planned, thought that this would be an ideal time...
Well, I cracked the code before nightfall at least... actually took me about 20 minutes of growing frustration, and a re-emergence of RSI.
Finally, with a huge sigh of relief the door popped open and the log was able to be signed. Thanks for the lesson in patience and the cache sno seeker.

Quick to find no so quick to open. Had fun trying to get to the log book. Gets a fav point from us.

Found @ 15:47!
Find #2 for today!
Got dropped off at the council offices and found 'Floreat Views' before walking here.
I had a good idea what to expect because I had one of these puzzles myself. In fact, I rediscovered it yesterday!
Carried it away to a nearby tree to have a sit and play out of view of the offices.
Unfortunately, the previous finder must've reset it all the way to the beginning because it still took a while to complete, even when I knew the solution!
Finally able to access the log at 15:54! Intended to reset it to the most difficult position, but discovered I would be walking back through the bush in the dark if I didn't pick up the pace a bit...!
Good idea for puzzle cache!
TFTC!

I took a carefully calculated approach to the puzzle and was able to open it within 5 minutes. I then noticed that the log had been left outside the puzzle anyway. Well at least I found Luke the Lego Man who was inside the cube... tftc
After 10 minutes of swearing and cursing I finally managed to get to the log and sign it

Easy find and 5-10 minutes ball-game... Really liked it Sno Seeker! Fav point from me, thanks for this kiddie!
Didn't realise there were two recently published caches along the coast so returned this morning to find the one I didn't know about. Was riding past so stopped to log this one on the same visit. TFTC.
After reading the previous logs we had an idea of what we were goling to be faced with here. As we had done a similar puzzle with iluvtrekking only a few weeks ago, we arranged to meet them at gz to tackle this one. Was amazed how quickly geo-hubby gained admittance to the log sheet with just a few twists and turns of the object.
Really fun! Took us a while to find but once we did the end was a nice twist, found with nat0710
Having found a similar object a couple of weeks ago, we were well versed with what was required here. Thank you for an excellent cache sno seeker.
Had a quick stroll to the cache and managed to solve it quite quickly.
Found with Dr.ibl as two heads are better than one. Took TB dropped of a kids toy. TFTC

We've found a number of amazing mechanical 'puzzles' in our time (some of which involved electrical and/or mechanical engineering skills), and this one is up there just for its simplicity and originality. It took a while (and also some naughty words) to get into the sucker, but we got it after about 20 minutes' effort. Swapped TBs, one for our little-used (well, these days) Pool Room bookmark list and a favourite point. TFTC
Sat on a rock at GZ and took about 20 minutes to solve the puzzle and get access to the log scroll.
[^] Bronze for me [^] Loved it - enjoyed myself. For while until open the door for me to signed the log. Loved it discovered the trackables and dropped one Trackable. Thanks sno seeker.
Arrived at GZ and found that this was a puzzle that I had completed elsewhere just yesterday so had no trouble doing it again today.
Thanks sno seeker for the cache.

I saw this puzzle published a couple of days ago but have been tied up with family
commitments, so did not think too much more about it.
Checked up on it this morning and noted it still had not been logged, so decided to take
a quick sweep Southwards, to look at this one and a few other nearby caches.
On arrival at GZ the container was quickly found, so I smuggled it back to the car to examine
it more closely.
With the puzzle in hand I set about conjuring up its solution. Took a few moments of juggling but
the logbook was very soon in hand.......(no force, damage or frustration) !!!
Was delighted with the *FTF* prize, I had lost this very item only yesterday, so was going to buy another today. You must add "Psychic Ability" to your growing list of talents Mr Sno seeker.
Swapped the PathTag for my new V.7 The Machman Tag.
Cheers for a great puzzle and Cache.
Have a FAV point.
