Determined to complete our shopping and game of Guess Who today, n0w0rries and I pooled our resources to solve, then travel together in our quest for smileys.
Time constraints being what they were, as I was with a previous finder, I didn't enjoy the full experience of this multi, but that's they it goes, sometimes, unfortunately.
Thanks, jimbo_80, for the smiley and what looks to be, and I'm assured by my travelling companion, is, a fine journey.
And with that, we've gathered all of the information we need for the final.

This morning's mission was to Guess Who before the series is archived.
Peter was the only character I didn't have solved final coordinates for, so he was first. Off to Croydon on this crisp morning I went.
With items counted and reasonable coordinates I walked to GZ and then around in circles, unable to find a container.
A message to the CO and a brilliantly fast reply confirmed I was in the right spot, and of course, it then took all of 30 seconds to make the find . It was very well camoed, and I'm blaming early morning cold brain cache blindness .

jimbo_80 we have had so much fun finding your caches and are very sad to hear that you are going to be archiving them for good. We were so sad to see what happened to your bird box construction and understand your frustration with finders not treating your hides with the respect they deserve by leaving chicken nuggets in your containers and stealing your plastic bags, however I hope you can see past these few silly people and recognise the serious joy you have brought so many cachers with your clever hides and even better puzzles, nearly 200 favourite points worth.
Peter completed the Guess Who series for us. One of my favourite childhood games now combined with my current favourite hobby .
We did Peter in two goes as we ran out of time on Monday. This was quite an effort. GZ was a lovely spot.
We have loved the Guess Who series. Our favourite puzzle in the series was Charles. Our favourite locations were Charles and Richard, both of which we have favourited.
Thanks jimbo_80 for all the great caches. We wish you all the best post caching.

Hey Peter! I nearly missed you. I had already found the Guess Who final earlier this week but I didn't want to leave Peter out. We headed the wrong way at WP2 and took far too much interest in the wrong structure. After spotting the correct structure we then headed off to WP3. I really thought I had the wrong co-ordinates as I couldn't see a sign. I think the Father and son playing with a remote control car on the nearby tennis courts put me off my game. Then I realised my mistake and we were onto the final. My daughter loved the nearby park with the unusual seesaw. Thanks Jimbo_80 for Guess Who? - Peter, it's been a blast.
Cache is safe and sound.
Unfortunately I'm archiving my caches after Easter, so please make sure you find them before then

Just catching up on thousands of logs and am sorry to see that this, amongst others, of the great caches in my local area are being archived. Thank you for this cache and all your other contributions. We were away when this happened so not sure if we have others to log but disappointed we didn't get a chance to check. Good luck and thank you .
Came out and looked for this one a few days ago but with no luck. Back again today after realising (with some help from a fellow cacher), where we had gone wrong.
The find was made quite quickly and we were on our way just before some muggles came by. Phew. Thank you for placing the cache .

Found on a very drizzly morning, a slight detour on My way to visit My Mum who lives in Montrose, a nice quick find, the cache is in good order and a nice hiding spot.
Thanks jimbo_80 for the cache

This multi took longer than I expected, but I had a lovely trip around some nice parks, collecting the information to calculate the waypoints. At GZ the cache was found quickly and easily.
Another find in this most enjoyable series. Took me a while, GPS all over the place. Hint very helpful. TFTC
Gotcha! Needed a little decompression so we headed toward edge of our zone for a nighttime walk and fine.
Much easier when the CO helps us with the coordinates, thanks for a great cache and adventure.

*Found on the 9 May 2021 @ 2:12 pm.*
*Cache find # 11715.*
While on my way to visit my mum for mother’s day I decided to squeeze in at least one cache and as I’m trying to get my multi count to 1000 it had to be a multi and this one was it, also I have found a few other guess who caches so I’m slowly making my way through them.
Everything went smoothly through each waypoint and onto GZ where the hide didn’t give my any trouble at all, the log was soon signed and I was on my way.

Gotta love a fresh log book/container.
Found safe and sound today. Geobabe did the book keeping for me so we ended up with a good final GZ. How many times do we bush bash to a GZ only to find a track on the other side? Today no exception. Ha.
The trail home much easier.
Thanks for another nifty multi.

This time last year I did a maintenance run, and all my caches were in place. Then they were disabled for 8 months last year. But now nearly half have gone missing - thanks Rona!
So I'm working on it, but I'm a bit slow, sorry. Hopefully soon.
Thanks to Long John Silva for letting me know. WP2 question updated as well

I'm on a mission this month to qualify for the **Multicache Month Challenge Cache**... which means finding 31 Multis in January... challenging enough but staying ahead of any COVID blow-out just adds to the pressure. With 14 Multi 's already, I figured this afternoon was a good time to keep pressing ahead.
Unfortunately things didn't go totally to plan... apart from this cache taking longer than I expected... I didn't actually find it . I had trouble at WP2... the "right" answer gave what was clearly a "wrong" result. Some intuitive corrections gave more sensible results... and when I reached the end, although the location looked "right" I couldn't find a cache...

Found this morning with non geo caching son, reckons you have way too much time on your hands jimbo_80. Nearly have all the clues for final, just the elusive Charles to go.
Suscoe was heading homewards today after a delightful few days in the Dandenongs.
It was a pleasant day again with some cloudy skies and a few glimpses of sunshine here and there.
We headed out of the Dandenongs by the northward road and then spent our time caching around Montrose, Kilsyth and Croydon beforeheading home mid afternoon.
It certainly was interesting seeing the Dandenongs from this side and it closed off a wonderful couple of days in a fitting manner.
Thanks to jimbo_80 for this multi.
We enjoyed the wander and bit by bit we reached GZ.
All good here today.
Nice to see the places visited.

Out on a beautiful sunny day in winter, what better thing to do than cache! A lovely multi with a little exercise. I now have all the clues to find ‘Richard’. Thanks jimbo_80
In Melbourne with GemmaSistema today enjoying some lab caches and other nearby caches as our ultimate aim was dinner at BernieH's. We did a lot of guessing and a lot of 'park-ing' but eventually found our ultimate aim, the cache just before it got dark.
Thanks jimbo_80 for the 'Guess Who' multi.

In Melbourne for a meeting so teamed up with The_Tritonz to find a cache or two enroute. Found easily enough as all around was quiet. Many thanks for the cache.
Found today with Crusty K9.
I found some difficulty with WP3 until I read some previous logs, then went back to the correct object at WP1. Doh!!!
After that, all went well. Thanks Jimbo.

This afternoon I headed out to see if I could find some of the Guess Who series. I like how geocaching always ends up providing a tour of the area’s parks. How else will I know where to bring my cats back for a run around? Thanks so much for placing this cache jimbo_80
After parking over near the horse riding club I began with full intentions of walking the entire multi.
By the time I had gathered the information at the posted coordinates and the next waypoint it had started to spit rain.
I succumbed to temptation and drove to the next waypoint and the final.
The cache was a super easy find; it was laying on the ground about a metre from (what looked to me to be) ground zero.
After signing and gathering the clue I tucked it away and added a few pieces of natural camouflage.
All in good order here jimbo_80.

Months ago I visited the waypoints for this multi and obtained the information I needed for GZ. I did actually head there for a look, but with darkness all around me and the threat of rain, I resolved to come back on a different day.
Having been given the afternoon off from housework to go caching (yay!) I headed here for a proper look. I searched and searched, and then started widening my search radius. It took a while to find Peter, and I think I was lucky to just see the caching poking out from its hide. I don't know whether I made a mistake with my counting, but I was ~10m away from where my GPS was pointing. Glad to finally get thr smiley here. Picked up the TB was well. TFTC!

Running an errand with my brother brought us to Croydon. Looking at the available multis I decided to work my way through this given it will prove crucial to finding the final.
All worked smoothly and I soon had the cache in hand when at GZ.
All worked smoothly and I soon had the cache in hand when at GZ.
I had a crack at this 2 weeks ago and got totally lost at WP3, I figured my counting at WP2 must have been out in the dark. So tonight I came back to check my numbers at WP2 but all was good - what was going on??!! As a last ditch I thought Id better check my numbers at WP1, but I couldnt have got those wrong. Checked the pole, no, correct numbers...wait...have I got the wrong pole???? Yes I had!! With that correction it was a quick trip to GZ where I made the reasonably quick find - thanks for the adventure jimbo_80 I just need to get Charles now......
This was a nice little drive cache and when I was around WP2 there was a nice little gathering of dogs which kept me entertained for a bit.
Thanks for the headsup about directions. At the GZ, it didn't take long to find the cache. TFTC.

The girls were going out shopping and I took that as an ideal opportunity to slip out for a couple of hours caching. It was a beautiful day which added to the enjoyment.
I have been slowly plodding through the series. I remembered to collect the required information. TNLN. TFTC.

Found on 13 March 2018 at 10:20:03 am. Find #2550. Wow that was epic.
Took me quite a while to complete this one.
At th final GZ i was starting to worry i had buggered something up as i just could not find the final.
But then i found a bong so thought better keep searching lol
Then i widened my search to one more hundred of the grey logs and finally made the find.
Great little mission.
Thanks for the adventure.

Nice little multi on a coolish Sunday afternoon. Muggles were a bit noisy today as we got to the GZ. There was only two of them but you could hear them easily from a distance. Thanks for the hide jimbo_80.
This multi took us all over the place. Some very nice looking parks with playgrounds, seats and w/c. We had fun looking around and the final coordinates where spot on. Thanks jimbo_80 for a fun cache
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

*Hits head against grey log* Guess Who??? Its the MUGGLES!!!
Oh my god... I have never had such annoing muggles... Ileana, we've all dealt with the annoying muggle that's sitting on or near your GZ, but the same muggle father and muggle kid, who watch and move and drop out of sight only to reappear again suddenly... I swear...
Anyways, got my cache, got my smiley face, got my name in the log, and got my next hint in the guess who series! Job done!
- - -
'Why did the chicken cross the road?' - 'Because he had to expand his search radius.'

Well it took a bit of bike riding thanks to a miscalculation for WP3 that placed me 4m from a bus stop sign that had a phone number and another number but was 3 digits. I figured my error and made the actual WP3. Then bad maths again for GZ but this time the sattelite view check showed GZ was bad and I redid the maths to a much better spot and made the find. Thanks to jimbo_80 for placing this cache.
Found with ICW. I don't know how we missed it on our first visit. Lots of hiding places there and I'm sure we examined GZ the previous time. Onward to the dénouement! Tftc.
Decided to do this series as it was nominated in the COTY awards. Poor Peter looks like he has made some bad choices, luckily for us however we had all the right choices on this tourney and we were awarded with a clue from him. TFTC
The third of three jimbo_80 caches on a perfect Friday evening.
Heading up from Anne’s house and it was starting to get dark. At WP2 there was the challenge of spotting tables in the gathering dusk. But all good. I want to come back here in the daytime.
Another taste of a pretty park in the dark at WP3. A quick number collection and onto the final.
Only saw the helpful advice on the cache page AFTER finding the cache (doh!) but the extra drive got me pretty close to walk in the dark. Possums were busy in the trees around me as I launched myself into the bushes of another park I’ll need to revisit another time. Luckily, by now I had a feeling for the CO’s MO, and surprised myself with a successful find by torchlight! Woohoo!
That was a fun evening, as I was drawn further into jimbo_80’s territory than I had planned.
TFTC. It will be Susan next, and somehow pesky Charles will have to be dealt with too. Tales for another day!

Certainly did this the hard way in 40 degree heat. Parked in the side street and walked to WP1 and WP2 drove to three and four. Really nice park here and nice to get under some shade.
Quite a journey but will remember the playground to come back to for the grandkids.
Picked up the clue nearly there thanks for the journey jimbo_80

Anotherin the series completed; feel like the Leyland Brothers today.Travelling all over the country side in an attempt to achieve this series. The geopoodles do not enjoy this type of hide. TFTC
Well a new year and time to break our cache slump of 248 days, and what a perfect cache to do it on with WP1 just down the road we took our time getting all the numbers but as soon as we arrived at GZ we were pretty sure were to look, TFTC nice little multi
Enjoy these multi game.
Looking forward to next one.
Thanks jimbo 80

With a day off was passing by so decided to go for this one. Nice multi working thru each stage and finally at GZ the cache was found. A rather coolish day and glad that another in this series is done. Getting close to the finish now. TFTC
Today's weather was bit cold and cloudy in the morning, the sunny finally came up later in the afternoon. Headed out for a hunt day in Bayswater/Croydon area with crank1 & everlasting. Enjoyed hunting for this multi-cache. Look forward to others Guess Who soon. Thanks jimbo_80 for bringing us here.
Accompanied with Everlasting and Pwala for Caching day
had fun with Guess who.

Out for a ride this morning to grab some caches this being the main target so to get the flast of the numbers for the Final cache. This required a lot more riding than expected and skipping a waypoint and miscalculating the final coords meant that after 15 minutes of searching I PAF . My numbers were slightly wrong and after another 10 minutes of rummaging around in the bush the cache was found.
The council makes these lovely areas with seats and paths, along with native planting but I reckon the only people visiting are cachers, so thanks for the hide here a nice spot that I explored all over

This was my first multi in quite a while. My plan was to walk about 5kms so I parked @1km away from the start. By the end my objective was completed! Like the previous finder, arriving at GZ presented many possible hides though found it was! TFTC, TBs visited and a fave point from me
This was a nice multi! When I got oto GZ, there was an older woman bending over fixing the shoes of a small girl. I sat on a log and waited for them to leave. But the old woman was keen to talk! She asked if I liked the two new benches nearby, and I said that I did, and that I appreciate the fact that they faced each other so people could talk. She said it had taken a lot of time and effort to get the council to put them in. Now she and others are trying to get the council to plant some shrubs to obscure a fence that detracts from the view of the mountains from one particular vantage point. She asked what I was up to, and I said I was on a treasure hunt. She wished me luck and joy, and walked off with her granddaughter, Katrina.
It took some time to find the cache, as there were multiple hiding places. When I finally found it, I realised that it was in a place I had walked along and jumped off only minutes earlier!
After finding three of these caches today, I only need to pick up one more, probably in Canberra on Wednesday, before I pick up a special one for my number 1,100 as I drive back to Melbourne on Thursday...

Find #8691
Getting close to closing this series off now. After a DNF for the FTF when this was published, I needed to redo this one from the beginning. Luckily I knew where I needed to go and it wasn't long before I was at GZ again where I quickly managed to locate this one.
Many thanks to jimbo_80 for the cache. TNLN.

We found this cache today at 2:30pm as number 7 of 14 on our Boronia Bash. Our only multi find for the day. Thought that we were going to be heading in one direction but by the end, we had zigged off to another location entirely. Nice to get our first find in this series and looking forward to completing it soon. Actually our 3rd cache find within 50m of this spot but the previous two were back in 2005 and 2008. Thanks from D & H B-A.
Out on a Geocache hunt with Ozhockeychick, the main aim was to get a few mysteries to complete the mystery month challenge. This was another one in the series, and we were on a roll, it was dark now, and it took a little while to find the cache, as our GPS decided it was scared in the dark and wanted to bounce around like crazy. But we got it in the end when Ozhockeychick said, that looks familiar. TFTC

Out with Pinkpiggy7 today to pick up the rest of this awesome series.
Our GPSrs were spinning quite a bit to begin with. I'll have to come back here during the day. Looks like a lovely area. The leaves smell a little like mint.
Log signed, clue retrieved. Great work jimbo_80!

Ah Peter, I feel for you. Those Ansett and One.Tel shares just weren't a good idea. About the cooking: perhaps you could it take over? I'm sure your wife is sick and tired of cooking those Romanian/Asian/Bolivian fusion dishes that you never seem to rave over. Perhaps try Fijian/Venezuelan/Norwegian instead?
Thanks very much to jimbo_80 for this excellent series. I found a game in the op-shop yesterday, and we've been playing it ever since. The copy we have has dropped Anne and everyone is mysteriously white and male. We're going to do some painting and make our set nice and diverse. Updates may follow.
Also, thanks jimbo_80 for erecting the neon sign with an arrow pointing to the cache. Otherwise I never would have found it. Can you please do that for all of your caches? Actually, maybe for all caches? Thanks.

Out for the morning chasing a couple of caches to get my daily total up to 10, got there with a couple to spare.
Nice wander/drive around Croydon South chasing this one, finished in a small backstreet park that I had never seen before. Thanks for the journey.

Out and about tonight with Trailstevo and looking to tackle the Guess Who series. Were going fairly well until a croud of people were sat next to one of the clues so we had to divert to the next cache and come back later. Then after a few more find we ground to a halt on one of the mystery cache. I thinks we found 5 in the end and a little more work to do next time. TFTC, TFTSeries.
At number five, we sort of kind of drifted to a chat about where the best baked goods might be procured round here. We were swiftly diverted to a bakery that has an amazing set of photos on instagram, but apart from some donuts which were covered in real gold, (FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH!) looked a touch .... ordinary. If Mrs R had bought a golden donut I totally would have altered the James Bond theme and sung "Gold Ringer" at her. probably until it got way too annoying, but she went for plain Jam. I picked up a current bun which was gross, and tasted of ham. I left that, and ate half of Mrs GJM's yellow donut instead. note, I had had my lunch, and she had not, and yet here was I, eating her food..... this wasn't the worst of it either. Later I threatened to tie her to a chair, and run away with the coords to the final... I am a great friend, and I sense you are picking up on this.
I also note I have got this far through a log without even mentioning the cache itself. I'm very talented at that.

Gunks and Trailstevo hit the Guess who trail tonight. Couldn't quite clear them all tonight but 5 out of 7 made for a decent night's work. Tftc
Peter, those timeshare seminars in Bali are a bloomin' shocker, aren't they. You get offered a scratchie ticket or free tickets to Waterbom Park.....and next thing you know you're the proud new owner of a condo in the latest Wyndham Resort. That's all well and good if its something that you'll use. But all too often, the oldies like Peter get whingey about the heat and getting ripped off at the money exchange so they lose interest and just want to rent a cottage in Wonthaggi instead. I feel for Peter.
This was the only cache in the series that I'd previously done. As we were fast running out of time (darn children needing to be picked up from school) I offered insider information and it was quickly accepted.
Off we went to GZ, where I let the gals find the cache on their own while I inspected a strange insect on a mushroom.
Attached a couple of pics

Blow the dodgy seminars, doughnuts were on offer on the way to this cache!! So we made a pitstop, thanks MRusty, it was yummy!! We headed to the listed WP and gained the first lot of info but then time was really of the essesence due to wanting to finish the whole series and needing to be back to pick up the kidlets so when MRusty offered to tell us the final GZ we grabbed the offer with both hands much like Peter grabbed those dodgy investments so long ago :-0
MRusty lent me her phone to get to GZ and VR and I made our way to GZ and I overlooked the cache looking in a much more difficult spot lol
On return we all took various photos of fungi, insects and each other lol

For the second time this week I had an excuse to visit the outer eastern suburbs. The ones just before you reach the Dandenongs. So I obviously had to visit a few more from this series while I was there. I do like a multi that sends you all over the place such that you can't possibly guess where the cache is going to be. All the more so when the area is almost completely unfamiliar and one is very close to being lost. (Though I distinctly remember discussing something adjacent to WP3 with the CO in the past, amusingly, given I didn't otherwise recognise the neighbourhood!) Good wholesome fun 'twas. And way better than trying to tackle the major thoroughfares in peak hour, which was now upon me. I spent a not inconsiderable amount of time at GZ. The fact that I'd wrongly entered a minor digit was only partially to blame. The cache was very much there though, of course. Coolage! Thanks jimbo_80!
Dropped little miss at a party this afternoon and found myself within a short distance from WP1 so decided to tick this one off my series list after being unsuccessful recently with 2 of the others. Will go back to those another time though. Thanks Jimbo for all the work you've put into these. When I first saw them published I naively thought I could solve them that day, one by one but reality and life soon caught up with me! I am determined however:)
After doing all WPs and showing my muggle big sister how much fun it is we found the cache. Tftc
Collected clues and calculated the final coordinates. Fortunately the area near GZ wS quiet and we could search in peace. We quickly found the cache and signed log. TFTC
I was sitting in a Melbourne Pathology waiting room when these caches were published. Looking through the cache descriptions gave me a welcome distraction from all the old people surrounding me, who couldn't hear the ladies when they called their numbers. And there was the guy that was talking to himself every now and then. And then there was me, seemingly the only normal one....or was I?...with my topical an aesthetic cream dolloped on the inside of each elbow so I couldn't feel the needle!!
I smiled at the excellent theme of the series. I was looking forward to working through these.
Today we unexpectedly found ourselves finding this one. We were standing right near WP2 when we decided to take a look at it. The questions related to the things around us, so we decided to start the multi in the middle and see if we could skip a step. We did a pretty good job at deciphering the missing numbers and, when we finally gave in and checked our answers at WP1, we were happy to see that we were only 1 number wrong.
We were happy to find ourselves so close to the French Bakery that we'd been planning to stop at for lunch. Very handy indeed, seeing as we were running out of time quickly. I enjoyed the area of GZ. It's pretty. And I enjoyed my quiche too. The French really know how to make the best buttery pastry!! Hera couldn't keep her hands off my lunch either. Such a scab!!
Thanks for an interesting multi. Looking forward to completing the series.

This was great fun. As we looked up this cache we soon realised that we were standing at WP2 without having been to WP1. We tried to brute force the numbers to WP3 but realised that it would be just as easy to go back to the starting coords and actually collect the information as intended. It turns out we were only 1 number off. Not bad for The Rustys and I - our maths is usually appalling! So from WP2, we went to WP1 and then drove to WP3. We were running out of time as today is the last day of term so the kids needed to be picked up an hour earlier. I had my heart set on lunch at the French bakery close by. Yes! We ended up driving past it on our way to conclude this search for Peter. Cache found, clue collected and divine, buttery pastry scoffed on the way home! A great way to finish our caching day.
Out early to enjoy a great day of caching. Followed the clues to their eventual destination and found the cache. Thanks for the journey in an area we haven't been to for a long time.
After talking with omegaman1971 about grabbing a few caches after work we decided that we would attempt this series and thinking that the rain would soon pass, we headed to the gz and got totally drenched with a absolute down pour while searching. Add torrents now streaming around our ankles and wet foliage to completely soak us to top it off. Found the cache, grabbed the clue while trying to shelter from the rain and then retreated to the car. Thanks jumbo 80 for the cache.

Out and about on a warm but wet Tuesday with Happy Pants.
After collecting all the required numbers we headed to Gz just as the rain intensified to a heavy downpour. After a few minutes of searching and getting completely soaked we had the log signed and first clue collected.
Cheers for the cache mate.

I headed out today to continue this series and also to find a few card matches for the "becoming a chore" Memory WhereIGo Fleabag- and I have been working on.
I gathered the waypoints and got to GZ just as someone else was coming the other way so I purposely went past and they lingered further down the track and so did I. Eventually we slowly headed back towards GZ and it was The Welder so we combined forces and after a couple of minutes I made the find.
We then discussed and combined our clues we already had and since we only had one missing clue we started looking at locations for the final which is another story for that cache.
Nice little multi this which being 30+ degrees I drove around in the car doing the waypoints and gathering clues.
Thanks jimbo_80 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

FTF WOOOOHOOOOO! Our first ever FTF! 10 year old geokid has been obsessed with this activity for ages and when he spotted this Mulit had not been found yet.... We've never seen him move so fast!!!! Off for some fish & chips now to revel in our glory of FTF!! Only downside was the the mozzies!! Enough to carry us away and I suspect we will scratch our way to a few more finds this evening!!!
We enjoyed having to use our brains to go to all the waypoints and finding the co-ordinates! Tftc Jimbo_80 P.S we didn't have any luck with the scratchie

I made a mistake on the maths, only the equation to work out GZ has been updated. Massive apologies to anyone who has already attempted this.
Cache is still safe and sound at GZ.
