It's all about the Numbers # 6 Rosslyn, Queensland, Australia
By Temingi on 16-Feb-16. Waypoint GC6BGAX

Figured out the puzzle this morning and biked over from the marina. Coords a few meters off and hint is useless. The log is shredded and almost impossible to sign but we tried. Lots of mozzies even in winter! The next cacher or the Owner needs to replace the log.

After some pondering and wondering we figured out the puzzle and headed over to get this cache. We've only managed to solve one other of these puzzles, but haven't got the cache yet - although we tried, but approached from the wrong direction (I believe). So this will be the first of the quite difficult caches in this part of the world. Thanks!

Nice easy find whilst visiting Yeppoon TFTC

Found it with Silence49 on the travels TFTC

This find took a bit longer as the hint gave me wrong ideas. Eventually I got CIH, with a new log roll & ziplock bag added. Worn old log retained inside.With TBs Canadian Flag, Dosenjger, Piglet Travel and G.N.I.A Travel Tag in tow.

Found it with lance51 while on the travels TFTC

Another Temingi puzzle I actually managed to solve! I'm not sure I solved it in the intended manner but I got the checker to agree so I suppose that's all that really counts...Thanks for find #5075TNLN

Did the puzzle at home previously and today I managed to locate the cache while in the area .
Signed log kingfisherau 11:45 am 14/6/2023 and replaced all as found,

Daytripping from Emu Park.

I’d solved most of this series ready for the trip but wasn’t really dressed for retrieval of some of them !
This one was no problem though, a lovely sandy track and sneaky hide.

Ocw the Bebes in this area today. Parked close by and made the find. Tftc

On my way from Canberra to North Queensland with a few detours for shires. TFTC.
A great puzzle and GZ. Oh, there is a path. That would have been easier.

Headed down to Yeppoon for a 4 day weekend due to Mackay Show Holiday. Cruiser loaded up with Caravan, Kayak with electric motor. Segway. Tree Fishing Pole. Retractable ladder, etc. Hope fully prepared for a cache attach on Yeppoon.

Have been looking forward to these Temengi caches for quite sometime.

Thanks Temengi for placing these for our enjoyment.

Some of these puzzles were solved early last year and I have been itching to get back to log them.

Had a great day out on the water yesterday in the Causeway with the kayak.

Caught up with CO Temengi for a good Geocaching chat and a few hints and guidance. Thanks Temengi.

Had a search for this one last night no luck.

Back again today and got it

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Great location as a local I had even forgot this path existed

As mentioned in just about every other log of a cache that was hidden by Temingi, every one of his that I have done has had me battling the local fauna or even at times the flora.
I’m up for anything but this time was just too much.
The tiger trap right in front of it was going a bit far but I guess it did keep the panthers at bay.
The cache while it may have been magnetic once, I’m not sure that it is anymore.
It was a nice tight fit tho, so did it’s job well.

Buttons (well mostly myself, I can never resist a puzzle) and I had been eyeing this one off for a while, but still being newish to geo caching were still learning about Coordinates and such so had left it alone.
Today is the day tho. I sat at work puzzling thro it all, found out how to do waypoints and plugged in the numbers.
Only to find I had better get a bigger boat, or a boat of any size. Maybe a few hundred meters off shore leads me to think I boo boo’d.
Rinse, repeat, till I got a different answer and am no longer trying to walk on water.
I feel bad about this part, because while I figured out the first part, I used the check sum to get the answer for the second.
I consider it cheating so some degree.
I finished work with Buttons not far behind me and we headed off to do “Double Trouble” first.
We climbed up the volcanic plug at Rosslyn Bay fairly quickly with a few stops to look at views etc.
I managed to find the cache with Buttons half fainting from being worried about me falling off, well she wasn’t going to go anywhere near it, so someone had to.
Getting back to the bottom was nearly quicker than going up and with the light of day fading we decided to head to our first mystery cache.

Heading down the road, what I had envisioned was 100% wrong and within minutes we had the cache in hand.
I have started to learn to think sneaky.
I still don’t think it’s a Temingi tho. We came out without having to run, and our skin was intact (a new hole in my shirt from the previous one I did later find out).
Great hide. I was going to give it a favourite, but it’s Buttons turn to nominate.
TFTC.

We actually found this one yesterday, but omitted to log it.
It was quite memorable as we actually found the correct track into GZ which is a bit unusual for us and although it was a bit overgrown there was no bushbashing required.
Even managed to spot the cache at GZ quite quickly.

Day 3 in Yeppoon and what a beautiful day it was too. Bright sun and a light breeze! (Pprass always appreciates a weather report, so thought I’d put it in for you Temingi!).
It was an interesting day. Some really tough hides and some difficulty in working out how to access GZ for others were some of the curve balls thrown at us. We were thankful for PAF as at one stage we were 1 find from 3 searches!
Finished up early today and decided to stay local for longer. Some tough GZs to still attack.
Thanks again Temingi for some great caching.

A bit of a last moment trip but was great full the Bug could also do the dash. Some Interesting puzzles and scenery in between brilliant sun light and rain showers. We had a look at a couple of creeks for future visits.
Struggled with a few hides and the phone certainly didn’t behave at times.
Signing duties completed and re hid. TFTC

Final day of visiting this beautiful town of Yeppoon with geo friends hatzofff, RoddyC and youngoldfella.
Beaut lot of puzzles and traditionals in town, some were hard to spot, some we needed the generous help of the CO. All caches were in good condition when found and my apologies for the generic logs.

Day twenty-five of our northern trip. Exploring Yeppoon for the last day before making our way home for Christmas. Out and about with hatzofff, Youngoldfella, and Snickersallan today.

Nice puzzle: clever hide. Always gets a favourite!

Log signed and cache replaced as found on December 21, 2020. TFTC, Temingi

Up in the area with Geo friends RoddyC, Snickersallan and hatzofff. Had a great four days here at Yeppoon. Thank you for this one and this series. Apologies for boiler plate logs. Favourite point for this one.
TFTC Temingi.

Day 25 on our return journey from our northern adventures with RoddyC, Snickersallan and YOF caching south to wards home.

Caching around Yeppoon this morning after a trip to Cario Bay. Now to do some #s.

Grey nomads travelling around Australia in our caravan. Held up a bit due to Covid19 and major knee surgery, so currently in Queensland only, but there are plenty of caches in our home state that we have not yet found.

Currently, we are farm sitting near Rockhampton for three months, so hoping to clear out Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gracemere, Gladstone and Mt Morgan!!!

Easy find puzzle solved thanks to Cache Owner.

Tftc and the puzzle Temingi,
Nice easy find here . Can confirm that it is indeed magnetic

Yup, t is all about the numbers!

1 solved, only 85 to go!

Tftc.. excellent hide

Tftc. Nice hide.

Got it, it needed a new log scroll so we put one in. Thanks temingi

Certainly is magnetic but despite the attraction i missed it on the first pass. Tftc and puzzle temingi

Solution Checker added.

Found at 2:42:00 PM

Not for the last time today I fat fingered some numbers when solving this. Eventually got there when I double checked the listing. Found the cache despite the hint [;P].

Log book is a bit damp.

Oh! BTW this is find number 6,000 for me.

Thanks Temingi

Nice terrain although the path is almost overgrown. Antique log which I dutifully signed. Thank you.

Hi there Temingi.

We found your cache **"It's all about the Numbers # 6"** at 9:08:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 20425).

We started the day off by nominating a cache south of Yeppoon on the Scenic Highway, and then took a random route that was sometimes determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route. Today we found 6 caches & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache about 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

After attending the QOGM we headed to Rockhampton for the night in anticipation of picking up presolved Mysteries in and around the area.
Found the cache well tucked away in its cavity in good condition.

Thanks Temingi for the Numbers series.

Rockhampton
Today we decided to head out to Yepoon for caching & a nice sea change.
We found a good variety of caches in some amazing locations.
Ordered our fish & chips & had time to go find a cache while waiting.
FP given for the location, warming up now & a few people in the surf.
Thanks for placing this cache Temingi

Visiting the lovely beach with ‘Hanna’ travel bug

A family holiday in Queensland meant a quick cache or two was also in order. In this area for a few days so some puzzles have been solved in anticipation.. A quick easy find here as I popped out to grab some food. Also a nice final hide and a lovely view! Many thanks for the cache.

Now this puzzle, I showed my mathematician friend to see if he could help me out. He couldn’t. Yet another hint was needed from the co. Nope, I would not have picked that! My mathematician friend? Claims he didn’t have enough time... sigh. I loved the hide of this cache, very creative! Thanks for the cache and puzzle Temingi

Can't hold my hand on my heart and say I solved the puzzle as the answer was given to me by a cacher friend but it is always good to find a cache and the dog's and I enjoyed the walk. Tftc

Tftc easy find on my lunch break

We did't know so many hidey holes etc existed around this town. Must trace this one out sometime..many thanks Mr. T?

TFTC

tftc. another walkway i didn't know about.

With traditional caches to find rapidly running out in the area,
I spent some quality time with the 'puter last night trying to work out some of these puzzles

I managed to figure out six of the Numbers series [^]
The rest ??
Well that is where the true madness of Temingi lies [:o]
Venture there at your own peril

So after a short drive from last night's camp,
I stopped at a familiar spot
Yeah !! A few years ago me geomobile was abandoned in almost this very spot while I headed out to the nearby island to find a cache
I never did get a find on that cache after 8 hours trying

But 'nuff of that !!
This cache was going down
And once at GZ,
I could see some decorative additions to the scenery !!
And number two rewarded me with a cache

TFTC ... and the puzzle ... it was easy

Found at 2:05 PM GAFF1in the company of Ian&Sue - Team Pathfinder.
Well here we go again - Temingi's little tricks We found it in the fourth of course
Worked out the puzzle using the short cut method.
Thanks Temingi.

A geocaching roadtrip is an amazing thing. It takes lots of preparing, planning and pre puzzling to ensure time on the road is maximised. I have to say I exhibited none of these attributes as we readied ourselved for this roadtrip. I was fortunately joined by the energizer bunny (seffnjarah) and the Square Jawed Mountain Man (Crookedpete) who both like to prove how capable they are as the alpha males of the Bromance. While there is often much chest beating and tantrums, we manage to remain positive and end up with a good plan of attack.
We set off on Friday lunch time (so CP had time to make himself pretty) and returned late Sunday nigh, traveling some 2000klms, approx 70 caches of varying D/T Ratings, in just on 54 hours. Sadly there were a few DNF's (which some of the team took harder than others), but we saw many different cache styes, and some amazing places. Thanks to all the CO's who placed these caches for us to find.
Our last 'number' series cache for this trip. I decided not to go off track for this one, and instead enjoyed a bote to eat from the local mobile eatery. Thanks for the cache.

Another solved puzzle on our hit list. Managed to make accessing GZ way harder than it needed to be although that meant that the first spot I inspected was the right one. With the cache found we made a much easier exit back to the car. TFTC

It has been far too long since Seffnjarah, Swellerfungus and I did stupid things on a roadtrip a long way from home. So, a caching road trip from Brisbane to Rocky & Yeppoon and a few ports (and mountains) in between was planned. The well planned though overly optimistic caching itinerary included miscellaneous mind bending puzzles, half a dozen or so of Queensland's Oldest caches a few wee hill climbs, a healthy selection of unloved caches and any other interesting caches in between.

I pondered this puzzle for a while, before solving it. Claiming this one today, Seff and I went bush and made the find, only to discover a track right past GZ. Typical!

Thanks for the puzzle,Temingi

Found it! tricky cache after a reasonably simple (for Temingi) mystery. All is well here. Tftc

a quick trip down to Rocky and a planned visit with Temingi
needless to say ... I had been sitting on quite a few solutions to his number puzzles
this was one of them
just a quick stop and stroll
signed and replaced ... now off to the next one
thanks for the puzzle cache Temingi

Tftc it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks sorry it took so long

Added a Check Sum.

Found with a short walk

Solved this a while back but only got to GZ today. The sand was hot so great to get in and out quickly. TFTC!

We had a look at this puzzle last night and surprisingly we soon had some likely coordinates after checking them on Google Maps. (We also worked out some most unlikely ones too. )
At GZ the Hint had us puzzled but we finally found the cache. Then the Hint made sense. Good one.
Thanks for the puzzle and fun we had with this one Temingi.

Not sure how easy this one is or isn't because Mum said we were going to grab this one on our way to work.
I had the cache in hand and was ready to sing the log when she arrived.
forgot to mention {*FTF*}
TFTC Temingi.

I crunched a few numbers and after a few changes to our day we took off to make the find on our way to work Was looking forward to a day of caching in Rocky but we will see how that goes.

Ratdog had the cache in hand when I got there.

{*FTF*} on our way to work.


Just don't ask us for any hints as I can tell you there is more than one way to skin a fish
