Commissioner Gordon ~ the Batman Series Belmont, Victoria, Australia
By Na'wal on 25-May-15. Waypoint GC5W5NF

Cleaning up. Time to open the map to some new caches ??

Over the last few days l have come home with a few dnfs which hasnt been fun. As l was scanning over the map l notice this one which l have looked at before but for what ever reason hadnt turned it into a smiley so today was the day l did such thing. Did what was required of me and even found a very sneaky way of figuring out that l had the correct GZ (which lm going to send the CO a message at the end of this to let them know). Arrived at GZ with my lunch and a 'pretend' car issue, retrived/signed/returned and back on my way l was.

Glad l could help the Commissioner out on this one

A nice quick park and grab. Warning, don't view the video in an area where others want their peace and quiet! TFTC

We had solved almost all the Never Too Old To Learn series when we heard they were going to be archived so needed to find a couple of days to spend in Geelong. The puzzle solving group held a night with Suscoe which we weren’t able to attend but caught up with later and with the help of this plus a couple of nudges from other cachers we solved them all. A bit tricky to find accomodation being school holidays and also our resident puppy minder being away himself and aiming for dog friendly accomodation. Eventually we were able to organise our niece to puppy sit and now on the day just a couple of things to do before we can leave for Geelong. Unfortunately the last thing took till nearly 7pm so we didn’t arrive in Geelong till nearly 9pm so no caching Thursday night! We checked out next morning and headed off and this was the next “other” cache to find. This was solved mostly by GMelb with a bit of help by the Zoom Puzzle Solving Group. Cache was a nice easy find at GZ.

Out with kenbryl, Jenno3, Geep and Sophie caching in Geelong. This one was solved a lil while ago and we were finally close enough to add our names to the log today. Tftc and the series.

cache day with kenare and kenbryl somehow ended up over in this area and found we had this solved.....grab it!!! nice job good puzzle and hide tftc

kenare, Jenno3 and I made our way down to Geelong to convert some puzzle pieces to smiley faces and a few other things. Mission accomplished, mostly. We found some caches, had a lot of laughs and somehow managed to fit a bed in the back of the car!! A nice quick find here in the dark without anyone around. tftc

I really enjoy these types of puzzles. Today we are in Geelong to attend an event, pickup the DotW challenge caches and any solved puzzles we pass along the way. This was one of them.

We parked dead in front of GZ and immediately knew what to look for, having come across these types of hides in the past. The challenge was not to be noticed by any muggles in the vicinity. When the coast was clear, Steve grabbed the cache and bought it back to the car for signing, then replaced in the same manner.

Thanks Na’wal for the fun puzzle and great hide.

Out caching in Geelong again today with Stemicmitsar, what seems to be a usual run nowadays, with him focused on finishing his 10th loop and myself focussed on just getting out of the house a big day was planned.

With a handful of fumbles.... which I personally blaim on an empty stomach the day all in all was a rather successful one. Thanks for being part of another good day out west. Thanks for the cache and the adventure

*Found on the 9 Jan 2022 @ 1:05 pm.*
*Cache find # 12279.*

Another trip to Geelong with buhfuhguh with a few targets in mind.
By now we had found all our target except one which would come later on but for now we started looking at what ever we come across.
Michael did have a couple of solved puzzles in his list so we decided that they where next, this being one of them.
A quick find at GZ and we were on our way.

**Thanks to Na'wal for placing this cache.**

Thanks for organising this cache. It was fun working out the the coordinates with my children . Arrived at GZ and not a muggle to be seen. I put this down to lockdown and people getting ready for the AFL Grandfinal between the Demons and Dogs. Clever hide, I have come across a couple of these recently so cache was found, logged and replaced quick enough.

TFTC

Yeah, I like these. I hadn’t seen one for a while. Tftc

Thanks for the video to solve - once we had the coords and saw what was nearby, thought we much be in the right area! Clever hide. TFTC

Solved a while back finally dropped by with rufous bb

Strong smell of coffee from the coffee van parked close to GZ, but we managed to avoid the temptation and focussed on finding the cache.

At this time of year we usually pack up and head off for 6 months, chasing the armer weather. After being stuck at home all last year and not enjoying the cold and wet weather all that much we are looking forward to getting away this year even more.

For a change we thought we might roll the dice and try spending some time in Victoria as we have not travelled here to much and know there is plenty to see. A short trip to Geelong previously led us to decide to return and spend more time. Hope the weather is kind!

We mentioned this to our good mate Rebel Acts and he decided he would join us for a few days. A great bonus, because as a true professional he has an unbelievable searching sense and is a puzzle solver extraordinaire. Our puzzle solving ability is slowly improving, but we still need to call on him regularly for assistance.

This is a series we almost managed to solve completely on our own, and only needed tp send out the SOS to Rebel for a couple that completely baffled us. Between our own library, the local library and on line sources we managed to find a copy of all of the books except one. Unfortunately we found out the hard way that the online version is not always the same as the hard copy, but that's where having friends helps! It was nice to have something to keep us interested during last years lockdown, and as books is Mrs Ski's number one hobby she really enjoyed the challenge. The containers are fantastic, and all very clean inside despite their outside appearances. Thank you Suscoe for your work with the puzzles and the effort put into the great containers

We even managed to catch up with Suscoe and Bushfire, local cachers of renown and lovely people.

We were in Geelong to do some work and hadn't been out its neck of the woods for a while so decided to pick up a few of the solved puzzles in the area. We ad solved this one reasonably easily and wen we arrived at GZ we thought well this one is a challenge to do without alerting muggles. We spied the ide and were fortunate that there was not anyone to close to us, so Mr Dromaniax got out of the geomobile and pretended to be talking on the phone, and was able to lean and retrieve the cache, bringing it back to the geomobile to be signed before returning it to being hidden in plain sight. The cache was in perfect condition, loved the camo. Thank you for this cache Na'wal

This was the closest unfound cache to our Chrissie Day venue but alas, I hadn't solved it back then so had to give it a miss. Having subsequently rectified that little problem, I decided to give it a shot on my next visit down this way. Today was the day and once I'd parked the steed , I immediately spotted the cleverly hidden stash at 12:45 to open its account for 2021.

And of course, GZ all made sense.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Na'wal.

After figuring out the puzzle, had to wait for an opportunity to go out to look. As I am visiting my daughter here from Sydney having not been able to because of.......I’m just not even gunna say it.....wanted to spend as much time as possible with them, but I got a brief opportunity to scout the possible location whilst out stocking up the bar for a night of UNO! Haha, logical spot! But most surprising was to spot it when driving slowly by. Couldn’t resist checking whether I actually did, so parked up to check it out. Bingo! Great version of one I’ve come across elsewhere and may well steal the idea (if you don’t mind!) back home. Thanks for the fun Na’wal!

Final Week of Remote Learning for me and it was our final chance to mix in some Geocaching with PE. We parked about 5KM's from here then ran along the path to collect this one. I couldn't say how long it goes back when I completed this puzzle but had originally been unsure if this spot was right but when we arrived at ground zero today everything made much more sense. For some reason we missed the cache at first glances at that angle and started looking in a totally different spot. I stood up and did another 360 circle spotting something obvious halfway through. Low and behold that just happened to be the cache, very surprised I hadn't spotted this one to start with considering I found a near identical cache about a week ago. We signed and the started running back to the car for some Lunch.

Thanks for the interesting puzzle Na'wal

Just doing a bit of caching around the Geelong area today with ilook4geo. The puzzle had been solved quite some time ago and the find was made after getting our attention to the right level. Two more lots of initials were added to the log before all was replaced and we were on the move again. Thank you to Na'wal for placing this cache in what could be a busy area, but was thankfully quite quiet today.

Out to do some caching today with goingplaces2 and had a fairly good run. This was one of our successful finds which did not take very long at all. Log was signed and replaced. TFTC.

I went to Geelong for womens cricket for week adn make quick find ... thanks ...

Day 3 of my Geelong trip and I thought that I would venture out of the centre to grab a few caches in the suburbs.

I had solved this puzzle a while ago and today I was here to collect. The GZ was quiet so I was able to make a quick find and retrieval. The log was full so I added an extra sheet. TFTC.

Out early to beat the heat today, and decided to walk to collect a few... a bit saddle sore from the last two days riding!

We solved this puzzle quite easily before our trip away to this area, and today made a quick find being able to almost do a park and grab. Luckily the local constabulary wasn't interested in our extra curricular activity today.

Managed to solve awhile ago.

Today was the day to log before a nearby event.

At first I thought I maye be in the wrong locale.

But as I approached I new I was on target.

Day 2 of our epic trek to the St Arnaud Mega via Geelong. As you do.
The constant was my travel companion for the entire trip, - Anymules. but we were joined by almost local cacher Bushfire for a lot of the escapades

Having arrived in Geelong last night we had started visiting waypoints for the numerous multi caches and epic multi stage mysteries.[:o)] Already had some started last visit. Wonder if we will get to finish any this time. Whilst doing that we managed to actually find these as we motored about!

Another puzzle solved a long time ago before previous visits. For some reason AnyMules insisted that I had found it with him when we visited last year. So we went to GZ to check. There he was in the logbook but not me. Oh yeah, - we caught up the day after he logged it last year! Now I am in the log book.

**Thanks Na'wal for this cache. **

Enjoyed my first puzzle of the series. Didn't take too long to spot the 2nd as have seen this type before. Greetings from NZ from an aussie who has jumped the ditch to live. Tftc

Wow great camouflage tftc

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today,
After quickly cracking the code we drove straight over! A few muggles about on this wet wintery day. When a few cars left we pounced.
TFTC!

Found with Coruze
We rolled over to this one and a bit of confusion reigned as we all had different co-ords plugged into our pointing boxes, so after doing a driveby of the wrong ones, we came back to the right ones and parked up the big soccer mum car to have a look.
We smirked at the establishment across the road, and the dad and Rinny got down to the business of fin ding something, which took far too long until Rinn came up with the goods and there was that forehead slapping moment..how could we miss that?!
So with logs signed , we whizzed off to the next one.

nice find

The puzzle was solved easily and the cache found quickly, as I have seen this clever type of cache before. Fortunately the muggle factor was low, it would be difficult to get this at busy times.

Having the Coords for this one for a while, I took the opportunity of needing something from a local shop to make the find here today. Thanks for the mystery and hide Na'wal

For this puzzle I got my friend onto it as I was having difficulty. As we were viewing it together he saw what I missed and soon I had some probable coords. I messaged the CO for conformation and I got the tick. Now just to find it.

I have been putting off finding this for a while because it would take a lot of explaining if a certain muggle stopped to say hi. Anyway I stopped today to make the quick find. TFTC

Found today while on the hunt to fill our mystery month challenge.
Crackers solved it this morning. An easy find at GZ. Ninja LeeLee come out to collect this one as a RACV workman and his van was parked and working very close by. With her Ninja skills, cache was in hand, signed and returned quicker than the RACV guy could say "holy crap Batman!".

TFTC Na'wal. An interesting take on a puzzle.

Needed a quick easy find today to keep up the streaks, up the hidden creatures tally and keep me ticking over for the mystery month challenge. Just so happens I was dropping in nearby to a spot CO is rather familiar with so took the opportunity to convert another blue dot to a smiley.

An 80 year old bushfire[?][?]
Apparently the ageing Bushfire aka Red Ant was having an 80th birthday party and since I owed him a mug or two, I really wanted to attend.
So Rex and I headed off in the Corolla for what ended up being a 4 day road trip to Geelong, Warrnambool and back to Shepparton during which I finally finished the Victorian Premiers whereigo [^][|)]
Had some great company exploring around Geelong prior to the birthday event, we attended 2 flashmobs and yes... I even managed to get pulled over by the police in Geelong (apparently a case of mistaken identity ) on the way to the 3am flashmob and the other geocachers in the car in front of me didn't even realise and just left me! [:o)][:o)]
The next day Rex and I spent ages in the Botanic Park doing a Bushfire multi and sadly we had to bother to CO for a nudge (with a bloody hammer). Then to cap it off, a muggle found the cache for us
I finally got to drive on the GOR and I have to say that I was so glad that I wasn't on my motorbike as it was rainy and blowing a gale for almost the whole road
We saw glow worms [^] and thoroughly enjoyed clear skies and no rain as we did so [^] although bering in there on my own at 2.30am was a bit freaky , then the moment we got back in the car, the rain and wind started again
We spent the night on the way to Warrnambool on the side of the road only to find in the morning that we'd been sleeping right on the edge of a cemetery
All in all an amazing, scenic and fun trip [^] where there was 6 DNFs and 63 cache finds over the 4 days

As I am about 8 months behind in logging, I'm resorting to template logs to catch up.
My heartfelt thanks to the COs who have placed some tricky, funny, exercise required, scary, interesting and devious caches in some amazing spots! [^]
Rex and I have had some amazing adventures and enjoyed some incredible moments thanks to this fantastic hobby

TNLN. SL. TFTC Na'wal

This is a cool way to hide coordinates, and after watching it, lets say several times to be sure, I had some plausible coords.
I pulled in behind a 4WD towing a hotted up car, and followed them all the way to GZ (oh dear) where they parked taking up several spots. But they went into Autobarn and I had the place to myself. With spot on coords I found a familiar style of cache and soon signed my name in the log book.
Thanks Na'wal for another cool cache!

April Fool's Day seemed a very appropriate time to assist Commissioner Gordon in apprehending the Joker. Having completed my analysis of the clues, I approached GZ in the morning and surprised the Joker and made a citizen's arrest. Having completed the necessary paperwork I can report that the Joker is now incarcerated in a nearby facility. TFTC

A meeting for work in G town today had me leave a little early to nab a quick cache or two! A quick find here - loved the puzzle too - never done one like that so adding a fav. Many thanks

I had been sitting on these numbers for way too long. Today I rectified that, while I was in the general area. A clever little way to gather co-ords, I hadn't done that before. Kudos for originality, a fave point for your effort. TFTC Na'wal.

After sitting around half the night solving puzzles, today Papillon4506, Geoturtle37, Pinkpiggy7 and I set about picking up the finals.
Papi spotted this one in no time. Cheers.

Our last day in the area so decided to try and grab some solved puzzles. Loved this one, hadn't seen one like it.
Thanks for the puzzle, the cache and bringing us here.

We weren't sure if we had the correct coordinates. But took the chance based on the comments in logs. Papillon4506 jumped out of the car and had it in hand.. tftc

Doctor Owl and sushilord are off on a long weekend trip to find some quality caches in Mexico. We suffered the laughs, joys and frustrations normally experienced on a caching trip and bonded as geobrother and geosister.

Great puzzle and a very appropriate ending. Smiles all around.

Thanks for the puzzle and Na'wal.

Day 3 of Owl and Sushilord's excellent adventure saw them concentrate on puzzles. Lots of puzzles. This one was the first of the day and a good one. A lot of work had gone into the puzzle itself and the final location raised a smile, which deserves a favourite point. Very quiet on an early Saturday morning, so Sushilord made a quick find while Owl was still getting the sleep out of her eyes.

This was my first find of a pleasant Friday caching largely south of here to Anglesea. I had prepared this one some time ago so I enjoyed my stop here with prime parking and a chuckle at the location.
Thanks Na'wal

One of just two caches that I looked for today. Nice classic muggle free hide too.
Thanks

Apologies for generic log. Now 8 months behind on logging and really need to catch up. Fantastic time caching in Melbourne again. Many thanks for the effort.
Thank you Na'wal for placing this cache

Apologies for the generic log, thank you to all the cache owners for their efforts.
Plans were made to head to another Melbourne Mega Event with Rapidlywild. We spent many a late night in the months leading up the event solving the chosen puzzles and mapping our journey around the area.

After spending the day out on the trail, we stopped for dinner and and with full bellies headed out to collect a few more around the area. Another interesting puzzle and was nice to find for the tired team. TFTC.

Mega Weekend was apon us so off to Victoria we go... Plans have been in place for a while now to attend the Mega in Anglesea with the FurfacesLL ladies. So we did a heap of puzzle solving in the lead up in preperation as we just never know where we will end up on these adventures.

Flew out of Canberra Friday lunchtime and came home on Sunday afternoon, collected many caches across the weekend and ran into quite a few cachers, including some local Canberra ones [:p]

After finishing the Geelong to Anglesea trail, doing our CITO, finishing the Lab Caches, and the AB4C series, we decided to work our way around some streets on the outter of Geelong. Next up was this one, interesting puzzle and was happy to have coordinates worked out. No issues with the cache find here thankfully.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache Na'wal [^]

Apologies for the late logging of the cache.

Found on Day 2 of Surf Coast Event four day adventure.

This was one of many puzzles we solved Thanks for organising the event home before our travels south. Today the job was to finish off the puzzle by hunting down and finding the caI qualified for the challenge cache as follows;e. Always enjoy a good puzzle.

The day started by heading out to Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff and then making our way around the Bellarine Peninsula through Portarlington and Clifton Springs, collecting puzzles and Earthcaches, before heading backing into Geelong. Straight after we tackled the AB4C series around Mount Dunadeed, attended a pre mega event and then moved north and grabbed the Puzzle Me Easy series before calling it a day!

Thanks Na'wal for putting out the cache and the hunt!

GZ was buzzing with folk and there was planty of traffic flowing past too which added ot the complaxity for the grab. Hunting with Ghostgums, The Green Geckos and Mistraluna, it was all hands on deck and with a little widening of the search, Mistraluna located the cotnainer and sorted business out for us all while we acted all casual around the hiding spot...

No wanting to stick around any longer than necessary, the cache was tucked back and we hit the road.

Cheers Na'wal.

Up until relatively recently, I had thought it nigh on impossible that I would be coming over for the Surf Coast Mega Event, but unexpectedly, all the planets aligned and the seemingly improbable somehow became a possible. I then had a kick in the butt from a geocaching friend who said I should treat myself and come - so I did. Am here I am, in sunny Victoria, unlike rainy Stanthorpe last year - who would have thought!!

I was lucky enough to team up with Gunnie69, THE GREEN GECKOS and Ghost Gums, all from Brisbane, leaving me as the one West Aussie in the group. We all worked on the puzzles independently in the the lead up to the trip, then joined forces here in Victoria for an assault on mostly puzzle caches, but with a fair whack of Earth Caches, challenges and letterboxes, plus a smattering of other types thrown into the mix to spice it up a bit. Let's just say that we were after quality, not quantity, and that we came away more than happy with the caches that we did find whilst there.

I came home absolutely exhausted, but happy - both of which are my criteria for knowing if I had a good holiday or not. Big thanks to my fellow team mates for letting me join the team and for the awesome time we had caching together in Victoria - great group of people, lots of fun and adventures along the way, and of course, oodles of great caches to be found in many awesome locations.

Quick solve of this puzzle, followed up with an equally quick find at gz. Thanks for the neat puzzle and the smiley Na'wal

found with fellow cachers before The Surf Coast Event 2016 mega event. very fitting gz.

My notes had 'I think' written in the notes box. Oh that made me feel confident pulling up to what I hoped was GZ. I had solved this so long ago and not recorded my notes well so was very pleased to spot the cache almost immediately. Obviously I did get it right! TFTC

A fun little puzzle. TFTC. 11/11/16, 1:28 pm Find #3218.

with the river rising we were told to go on holidays so what do you do.
Caching time.
Now we have wandered down towards Anglesea and found many other like minded people so the caching adventure grows stronger.
Had fun out caching with roosterman and Rebels Act lots of others laughs were had by all.
after the event we wandered on to somewhere else
Thanks Na'wal for putting this cache out for us to find

**# 15184** Found on the way around town with Honeysucker while in Geelong.
Another warm cloudy spring day and lots of muggles around everywhere.
Thanks for the cache Na'wal,
***Roostaman***

thanks for the cache!

24/09/2016 1:09:00 PM - I joined up with my caching friend Square_Pegs for a spot of spring caching and come here to find this cache in good condition with accurate co-ordinates. Didn't see Commissioner Gordon at the resolved co-ords but I did spy the cache

Thanks Na'wal for bringing me here and for the puzzle.

The picture reminds me of the Superheroes cafe. With my set of numbers noted down, I wasn't 100% sure about the location until we pulled up and the penny dropped as to the connection. Ha ha, very nice indeed. I like the way the bag for the log is secured, an excellent idea.

Thanks for the cache.

The quest for Batman caches continues. We were out today cheching out the flooded Barwon river, collecting wps for a very long Jacko cache and picking up Mr10 from a playdate. Saw that we were going to be in Drysdale, so we solved this one at home and detoured to grab a few caches, including this one. Another nice puzzle and find at a fitting location. Tftc.

Nice easy find nice camo TFTC

Found it. Nice easy puzzle and find.TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1525. Great fun working this one out last night. Quite cold out in the wind, but we're having fun all the same. Two of our grandsons are Batman addicts. Managed to park close to GZ, and spotted a familiar hide from the car. A quick grab while the coast was clear. Good to have a brief chat afterwards. Our thanks to Na'wal.

homework at home first
Easy to follow up.
Found it
Thanks Na'wal

Worked out ages ago till today to find it with crank1.
Thanks Na'wal

Another clever way to hide cache information from the Batman and puzzle master Na'wal. Very cool indeed. And one of the quickest cache hides I've ever found - saw it from the geomobile (yay!), although it would be invisible to a muggle's eye. TFTC and puzzle

I'm having serious trouble trying to keep a find run going during school holidays. I spent 20 mins staring at a tree trying to find "You Are Never Too Old To Learn 3", to no avail. Geochild #2 was most impressed by this one, not the least because of Gordon's office being just near by. Thanks heaps, Na'wal!

12:14
All rugged up against the cold of geocaching's “Get Outdoors Day 2016” and on our way home after watching The Hamsters of Geocaching at work, we were able to stop for The Commissioner! Then it was home to put the heater on. Only the clock king and enigma to go now!

Our thanks to Na'wal for placing this cache.

The Commish strikes again!! Fun little puzzle with the geokid and very sneaky hide! Happy birthday Queeny!

Found relatively quick. Love the placement of this cache. Loved working out the clues. Thanks for this cache the minicacher enjoyed this one. Tftc

We'd solved this one once before but misplaced the coordinates. A quick resolve this afternoon and this cache was on the list of things to do tonight!
After a lovely dinner nearby we made our way out here and parked between another couple of cars......little did we know it was on GZ! Excellent coordinates and a couple of laps had the log quickly in hand, signed and replaced to its very clever hiding spot.
Nice little mystery with a humorous final find! TFTC

The long weekend meant no work and more time to cache,so we headed down to Geelong to find a few puzzle we had in the solved pile, the highlight being the book series by suscoe, one of the best series of caches I have done in awhile, the work that went into them is fantastic.. Thanks Na'wal for the cache.

Found while out and about the long weekend with Rebel Acts. Had a great long day of caching starting early and finishing late. Some nice caches found in teh area. Thanks for the fun.

Another fun puzzle another great hide as you would expect from Na'wal

Out for a caching night with TR!, Snaphappy and Darth Bridji. Heading out to do a new series nearby we decided to stop and grab this puzzle cache as we had all solved it previously. Love the method you have used with the puzzle, it's great to mix it up with clips etc.

Thank you Na'wal for yet another great cache.

This guy has been in my solved pile for a while so today it was time to pick it up, have to laugh at the location of GZ, very well thought out I have to say!

TFTC TNLN SL

Picked up this one on the way between events today. Thanks to Na'wal for the puzzle and hide.

Solved this puzzle from afar (one of the few that I had solved for this Geelong visit). Drove out in 36C heat to GZ and had to smile at GZ's location. Hope I wasn't spotted. Thanks for the fun cache.

I had this puzzle solved for sometime but was saving it until it was required, and today was the day as i needed a find for today. I set of for GZ which was very quiet which made the search easier. It was spotted straight away thankfully, I didn't fancy scratching around her and the chance of being caught. Signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache Na'wal

Like others have mentioned, I've had this solved now for a while and now was time to collect while I was out in the area being a social menace to the region gracing the world with my presence while I venture outdoors. I've got no idea what I'm waffling on about so thanks for the puzzle and cache
Thanks Na'wal for the smiley face

I solved the puzzle for this cache not long after publication, but didn't manage to find time to go look for it until 5pm this afternoon when after watching my 4th game of netball for the day, I still required a find for International Geocaching Day. So, I thought, I also need a puzzle for the Geocaching Road Trip, in which case, why not combine the two and find one of those solved puzzles I have hanging around?
So off I headed to GZ where I fortunately had the place mostly to myself at that hour of the day and made a quick find - the second one of these I've found this week!
Thanks Na'wal for the latest installment in the series and for getting me out and about this afternoon !

Solved this one ages ago and decided to pick it up in fading light on my way back from a productive caching day. Coordinates were right on resulting in an easy find to finish the day. Tftc!

Parked in the car park and took up two spaces - oh well it was one of those days. Thankfully I located the cache quickly for two reasons - the parking effort and the prying eyes overlooking establishment.
Nicely placed here Na'wal. It made me smile.

While out shopping, as this was close by we decided to give it another shot. This was one of those how did I miss that? finds. TFTC Na'wal, I really enjoyed this cache and it's clever but simple camo.

I have a large selection of puzzles to pick up however most are out of town or I need a couple of hours. Was happy to solve this very creative puzzle and a convenient place to pick up the final. Made my way to GZ today in 5pm traffic and had a laugh for a number of reasons about the location - hope CO doesn't have to do maint checks too often! Another innovative Nawal puzzle - love Batman - Superman is way too sugary. Just finished Arkham Asylum comic - a must read. Tftc!

Well we don't know much about Batman or Commissioner Gordon (apart from what you are teaching us in your series, Na'wal), but we were definitely able to help them solve this case. This morning we played Taxi for one of our sons and decided to use the early sunshine to visit a few caches and decorate them with our autograph.
Nice work on the animation and a neat hide at GZ. At this time we had the area all to ourselves and made a quick grab. Thanks for the task and the happy face on our map!

Solved the puzzle a while ago. Came today to try to make the find. When arriving at GZ I had an idea where it was but couldn't find it. TFTH anyway, we'll try again next time.

It's been a while since we've tackled one of the Batman series and we were glad to test our crime fighting skills with Commissioner Gordon. We had an idea of were the coordinates were hidden but were surprised we kept being a few digits short. After checking the script we were on track and had a likely GZ. Recognised the familiar camo and admired the protection for the log. Another great job Na'wal. TFTC

Dad of the sims family had this puzzle sorted out very early on, while still at work. Realising the rest of us were very close to gz, he tried to call so we could pop over and pick it up. Unfortunately , mum's phone was still on silent after attending our eldest daughter's graduation ceremony earlier, so we never got the message. We found ourselves nearby again today, so stopped to pick it up on the way home. Thanks to Na'wal for another fantastic cache!

Nice find

The lateness of this one's release meant it was put on the to do list first thing in the morning. So the lap top came in very handy over a smart phone plus with the necessary caffeine stimulant to get the wooly brain working. After the male Triton viewed the cleverly put together clip he called for the other half to come and watch it also. Wow that's ingenious! A great way to present a mystery cache for all to solve.
With car troubles and work in our way, we had to wait until late afternoon to pick this one up but as always we loved the hide and its locality.
Thanks Na'wal for a brilliant puzzle.
A favourite going your way of coarse for your ingenuity and your hard work.

The ageing bushfire was still up when this guy was published but either Fire Fox or some clever computing because the green flag did not appear but next morning it decided to open and then the numbers were soon arrived at but the FTF was already sorted so no hurry before breakfast but then it was time to head of and grab this well put together cache.
Found a few of this type of cache lately so with the log signed in second place it was returned and another one becomes a smiley.
Thanks Na'wal for the thought and effort required to set this cache up.

FTF SUSCOE
Well what a surprise greeted Suscoe early this morning as we awoke from our night's sleep.
We were completely unaware of what had occurred over night with the newly published caches.
Once we had worked through the various ones on the list we found to our surprise that this cache was still unfound.
So on went the computer and very soon the puzzle began to unfold and a set of co-ordinates came into view.
Jumped straight into the car and off we went, no time for breaky!!!!!
Arrived at GZ to find that it was pretty quiet and soon the cache was located and the log signed in the early morning light.
Thanks to Na'wal for placing this cache and for the creative bit of animation which made up the puzzle.
Nice work and a favourite from us for the novel approach to presenting the puzzle.
