Auslan Narre Warren, Victoria, Australia

Decide to archive this one. thanks to you who visited my cache. Time to go.

Unfortunately this cache may need a CO check.

It appeared to be behind construction fencing and the area may soon be under development.
There is a possibility that GZ, currently a vacant block of land, might not be public land.

Need to check it first

I solved this puzzle while stopping for lunch nearby. Upon arriving at GZ we were confronted with a series of construction fencing which we hoped was not hiding GZ. Unfortunately the GPS was indicating otherwise, and the previous log photos indicate the cache may not be currently accessible.

It appears the area may soon be under development (and GZ although previously vacant land, could possibly be on private property).

Arriving close to GZ I could almost see the prize, alas a circuitous route was required to lay hands on the cache.
Fortunately I was in the area last week doing a delivery nearby and noticed a portal that would allow me to continue.
A bit like platform 9 3/4 here, muggles only see that which they expect to see. Fortunately.
Cache in great condition.
Thanks for this one crank1.

So disappointed that I forgot to go and get this one today. I managed to work this out and saved the coordinates for GZ.
PrezDough and I were out this way doing the Hallam Bike Trail and it wasn’t until we got home that I realised I didn’t go to GZ.
Oh well,there are a few others here that I have to come back for so I guess it’s an extra step when I do return.
Thanks crank1.

Found it TFTC

Familiar with puzzle so nice quick there. Thanks crank1 for the cache. Go Auslan!

I am pretty sure I worked out the coordinates correctly but I couldn’t access GZ! It seems a fence has recently been erected around the whole area with no way access GZ without attracting undue attention! The CO might want to check this out. If I am wrong please let me know. Cheers!

I loved doing this puzzle! I remember learning the Auslan alphabet in grade two and feel it should be mandatory learning at school. It's come in handy a couple of times in the past but doing this cache I realised a bit of a brush up was needed.

At GZ today I felt slightly conspicuous, even with the dogs for cover. I circled around a few times even though I was fairly sure the coords were correct, there were plenty of places for a micro hide here. Just as I was about to tie the dogs to a tree to get a better angle I saw what I came for!

After signing the log I took the pups for a walk across the road and they were happy to use our exercise time after going in circles around the cache haha!
Thanks for the cache and the puzzle!

This was one of the Auslan caches we solved but turned out to be last we located.
We are finding caches in our 5k radius to try and gain the Reach the Peak souvenirs on offer at the moment.
We enjoyed going back to the video today and seeing Crank1's smiling face giving us a refreshment lesson. After we were happy our stored coordinates were correct it was off to Narre to try our luck. This area has changed a little since we last walked around here but happy the cache was still there waiting to be located right where the GPS was pointing.
We added our name to the and a favorite point to the cache for an enjoyable way to find coordinates.

What to do prior to a wait for an appointment....try to find a geocache of course! Well the solving was reasonably straight forward but finding the cache itself was tricky. After walking around and around all the possibilities at GZ I eventually got a glimpse of a familiar container! That took way longer than it should have, the sneaky little devil was hidden away quite nicely! Thanks for the puzzle and cache crank1.

Woohoo it seems I was paying attention in the past and on the video,
After a few stops today I stopped off for this cache and found the container in the
second place I looked.
I was happy to add my name to the log and I wonder if a training session at a Mega event would be a fun idea (food for thought)
My thanks to Crank1 for the cache and the lesson, a 100% favourite from me.

Having completed the Auslan Geoart puzzle series, the solution to this one came to us quite quickly.
At GZ, we hunted around area (which was a bit untidy) for a while before we finally spotted the sneaky little devil.
Thanks again crank1.
Chiefton!!!

had this one worked out before my stay over here. It took some time to spot it. Must say I was pleased once I saw that little devil.
Thanks crank1

Found today on our Hallam Afternoon Hunt. One last cache before heading home. Thanks from D & H B-A

Find number 8775 at 3:20:04 pm
In the area to do a small job at my mum's and grabbed a quick cache on the way.
Solved the puzzle while locked up last year and finally had a chance to make the grab
**Thanks for placing this cache crank1**

We’re all going to Wangaratta to participate in Victoria’s next Mega!

This was a fun puzzle and I enjoyed working out the answer as I watched. Today on this sunny afternoon I headed out to see if I could find the hide and was pleased to have a little search and soon located it.
Thanks to crank1 for placing this cache and for the interesting puzzle.

Very pleased that I could solve this cache, especially with the D rating it has. Thanks for the cache.

At last, a reasonable D/T puzzle that we could do. Today wasn't the best day to be here as there is some lumps of bitumen that have been dumped and they were really tacky in this heat. Cache located, log signed, thongs de-bitumenised and we are back on our way again. Thanks for the cache.

Sorry for the late entry, forgot to log!
Out and about with Rebel Acts putting some smiles on the map. Cheers for the cache and puzzle.

Found 2/8/20 Just before stage 4 lockdown.

Well we finally found our first Mystery. This was a lot of fun trying to work out the clue. Had some help from a member of the Auslan community.

Nice hide. Thanks Crank1 to the Cache.

Stay safe everyone and wear ya Mask.

Found at 3:33 pm.
After spending a couple of hours finding nearly all the Auslan caches nearby we stopped by a few others along the road back home and this was one of them.
After a few hours of getting all nearly all the other Auslan caches I also decided to stop by this one on the way home. Nice quick find in a deserted area.
Lots of trucks parked here and nice and muddy too, it took about 500m of driving down the road before I stopped hearing the mud come off the tyres after we left.
Thanks crank1 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Today Spiffy- and I headed out to collect what we could of the solved Auslan series plus a few other caches nearby of which this was one and was the theme!
 
Took a few moments to spot.
 
Thanks for the cache

Checked and Good condition
Happy Hunting

Disabled due to the current situation, take great care in these uncertain times. Stay safe!

Puzzle was solved quickly enough. Had a day off today so dropped by this morning and made a relatively quick find. In good condition.

While shopping in the area we made a detour to find your cache that was solved earlier.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks crank1 for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Pretty fun my gf get excited when it was called auslan because she had just done an auslan course. Bison tube was abit hard to find this late by flashlight but eventually got it.

The plan had been to jump on my bike and grab a few caches around the Narre Warren area however the extremely windy weather scuppered those plans. Instead I thought that I would just drive and walk around the area.

I had only noticed the puzzle last night when I was looking where I would cache today. A quick solve and I had the required coordinates.

At the GZ I wandered around in circles for a couple of minutes until I made the find. TFTC.

I was lucky enough to be present today for OHCs 9000 milestone ! Having been taught some Auslan by the CO and OHC this was a puzzle I was quick to solve.

Thanks crank1 for Auslan

Having spent the last year learning Auslan, this was a fun puzzle to solve. Perfect speed in the video too! Lol
About to head down to find your new powertrail with atsmug, we stopped off to find this cache first to make my #9000 milestone!! Woohoo!
A favourite point for the puzzle.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, crank1

Found this one with SciFiRulz as team nicnax TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. I solved this puzzle quickly as I had already solved some other puzzles that use this language, although they were just pictures not a video. At GZ it took us longer to find the access to the carpark in the dark than to actually find the cache. TFTC

My kids and I are meeting up with Rebel Acts today and dropped by this cache for a tricky find. Thanks

TFTC. We were over this side of town from Maryborough to celebrate Christmas with a daughter in wheelers Hill. During the morning before lunch we came out this way to complete a long multi and attempt a couple of other caches. We had spotted this one during the week. Our granddaughter had learnt Auslan during community service ay-YY her secondary school. Luckily she still remembered it. She did the heavy lifting for us and we mad the find this morning.

I had solved this a few weeks ago after finding a few resources to help me. I certainly learnt something new here. The coordinates I got looked good though not quite where I was expecting! We ended up near GZ today more by accident than intent so I headed over for a look. It didn't take me long to find the cache nicely hidden away. TFTC crank1

My language is auslan so no problem for me detour and signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hide
Fav from me

Easy for me to do the puzzle, and then it was not so simple to find the cache, but I got there.

Bella at Waggy & i Solved in the shopping centre, almost at posted coords. Easy find after.

Thank you crank1, for creating, placing and maintaining this cache. I have enjoyed finding it and visiting this spot.

A trip to town and a chance to catch up with ADI again so after taking care of some other duties we headed to find some caches we both had not found. We had meant to solve this one earlier but we worked it over lunch so headed there afterwards. The hide took a while to find as the GPSr wanted us on the other side but we got there in the end. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Found with family on a sunny afternoon

It was lovely to see you on-screen, thanks for the subtitles!
My wife and daughters have learnt some Auslan, and I remembered the numbers that they had shown me. As with being a beginner in any language, there are sections I missed and had to guess to try to make meaning. It was great to be able to go back and stop the video. Your Auslan is very clear and I was able to get the green light first go!
Hoping to get out to your cache at some point.

When this geocache puzzle was released so close to home, I instantly got in contact with a deaf friend. After explaining what geocaching was, and that I needed her to solve the puzzle for me, she was very quick in sending the solution back, but not quick enough before the puzzle was found.
Today was the first time since that we have been in the area, and after we had finished nearby we strolled to the GZ. 999HK and myself circled around the GZ, and I spotted it on my side first.
Thanks for the cache Crank 1

Arriving home, I thought I had better find this new cache. A great idea by the CO. I was glad to be able to understand it! Thanks for placing the cache crank1, a favourite point.

*7 Sep 2019, Found @ 1:12 pm, Find # 9692.*

I headed out with biggles1024 for a bit of a cache run in between the rain and the sunshine, it was a very strange day weather wise.
I had solved this one when it first came out but hadn’t been in the area to find it until today, Mark had already found this one so it was now my turn, I headed over to GZ and looked around for a short time before spotting the cache, the log was signed and we were on our way.

**Thanks to crank1 for placing this cache.**

Nice one. Seeming as we have put out a few caches which are difficult for the CO to resolve and therefore causing grieve, , it is nice to see one that made us have to think for a bit to work out the language. We solved this one while eating Churro's at San Churro in Fountain Gate, and then took of to GZ to make a quick find. TFTC. A fav

I learnt quite a bit about Auslan in solving this puzzle. Its not just the number of fingers that can be seen but also the angle at which the hands are held and consequently, it took me five attempts to get it right.
I headed here this morning to hopefully find it before the forecast rain began falling. It took about five minutes of searching which is really about four minutes longer than it should have. Some times that's just the way it goes.

**Thank-you to crank1 for placing this geocache**

Found it with help from a friend who is extremely fluent with this. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

Great Puzzle to educate us, sadly I am not good at remembering, would so love to learn auslan. My lack of Auslan has not stopped me making friends with Crank1 and Everlasting and I always look forward to seeing them. Thanks for the cache my friend. LLTRA

After a lovely lunch with my mother-in-law, made a small detour on my way home to grab this one. With GZ nice and quiet, cache was soon spotted and log signed.

Thanks crank1. Really enjoyed solving this puzzle.
