It's All Too Much Chester Hill, New South Wales, Australia

7:52am.Side-stepped a micturating muggle (thankfully fifteen metres from GZ) to ascertain that all is kosher here with this cache.A different muggle even assisted with some pre-CITO CITO-ing as I made for the river crossing.Cache on!Much Obliged, - Alephroom.

A cache by the Taxman - that's enough to put you off!!fWell one of my personal caching challenges for 2024 is to complete my 360 degree wheel from home. There are just 2 remaining. One has nothing between here and the other side of the Pacific and the other has only this puzzle within 100km. I've looked at the puzzle a few times but had no idea. Last week I decided it was time to have another attempt. This time with a nudge from the Taxman I was able to solve it. Wasn't as difficult as I thought.Today seemed a cooler day so I decided to head to the south-west for some caches.I didn't really expect to see any activities on the ovals as it's a long weekend but I passed 2 cricket matches on my walk to GZ. Not far from GZ there was a sign "Don't be a Tosser". It's not working as there was more rubbish within 20m of the sign than I've seen in a very long time on public parkland.Once at GZ I circled around for a few minutes until I spotted the hide. A well concealed cache was found in the camo. Half my challenge for the year is now complete!TFTC # 5784

#13269 10:38A Saturday morning cache trip to areas I do not frequently visit. The puzzle was solved a long time ago and today I went to GZ. A quick search revealed the cache and all I had to do was to reach up very well hidden container.TFTC Alephroom

After a hard day's night, the night before, trying to figure this out, i needed a little help from my friends. At the CITO Phil said "tell me what you see." Once spotted, all I've got to do is reach up, retrieve and sign. Of course I'll log when I get home, now, I'm so tired...good night.

Found It!
Stared at this puzzle for a while and got nowhere. It really was all too much. Eventually someone gave me a hint and I finally worked it out. Today I went to GZ during the CITO event and spotted the cache after a short search!

Whilst attending the nearby CITO here, I made a check to ensure that all was well with this cache at GZ…and so verily it was :^D.

All the very best and a Happy New Year to all!

Another find with some help from the CITO group this afternoon I couldn't quite see it but I liked the camo for this one a lot! It felt like a very secure way to hold the container in place & safe from the elements

While at the CITO this was mentioned so without too many hints progress was made and some nearby coords produced so off we went. Some familiar camo was soon spotted and the container opened. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

After hint from Camden RSL
And research by Leanne59
Found it

After a hint from a fellow catcher to lead me to solving this puzzle, I finally was able to add my name to the log. Thank you for the puzzle cache.

Embarrassed to say that we needed a hint for this puzzle. very nice camo at GZ. FP. TFTC

Nice find after nearby event

A quick solve and a reasonably easy find. Thanks, did need a prompt for figurings.

Lured by a CITO, couldn’t resist grabbing this nearby cache. It seems others had the same idea. Camo blends in beautifully

TFTC Alephroom

Before starting the CITO event I jumped in for the quick find, although might have mistaken the hide as a bison in a salamander as per photo.

Solved this one a little while ago with the aim of getting before the CITO. A quick find was made and a bit of rubbish was picked up

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Taxman

Found on a hot day. It's almost too much! TFTC Alephroom

I haven't attended a CITO since restrictions were listed, so today was my chance... 7:30 am?!
Actually managed to drag myself out of bed and join a small but dedicated band.

After that I joined another cacher to grab two nearby solved puzzles before heading home.
"Done good" today.

I have had the solution for this for a while, but needed a little nudge from the CO to get there. Today I teamed up with **Wilbert67** to make the find.

A little going around in circles under tree cover before we spotted the obvious.

The cache was inked, replaced, and then off to the next one.

An early Sunday morning in Sydney for a CITO. So early I have time to find a few caches before the 730 start.

Made a quick find during this mornings cleanup. There was quite a bit of rubbish nearby so a double win.

I tried very hard to solve this and got no where. With no help coming my way, I decided to just go look for this Survivor style. Using intuition, cryptic clues from the cache page and good old fashioned local knowledge of the area, I scanned the area and started my walk. If I was the CO where would I hide it. I searched for a little over 20 minutes and then spotted an area, and thought, I'd put it here.... somewhere.... so I looked more intently and scrutinized everything. I had a fair idea I knew what I was looking for and not long after, I spied the cache. I was so thrilled to have found this with no help, no guidance, sheer intuition. While I have not solved the puzzle and have no idea what it all means, my name is in the log book, I was not told where the cache was, so I'll take this as a find. Great hide .
Cache is in great condition and its camo is intact. One day I hope someone can help with the puzzle.

An interesting puzzle that took a while to find the way in, from there with one tweak it was a quick solve.

Today it was a lovely walk and find before a family dinner in the area.

What an interesting puzzle, lots of patterns and a few assumptions left me with nothing.

It took a pretty hefty nudge to have me on TTS right track with this I’ve, then the coords fell out.

Took a break from CITOing to collect this one, cute camo

4:27pm.

Quick cache check before the beginning of my CITO. All is well in order here at GZ.

- Alephroom.

I looked at this when first published, but nothing seemed to make sense. Then a little birdy came into my head, and without too much effort and I was able to solve it overnight in readiness for today's CITO.

The Bebes and I made our way to the CITO and after a brief chat with the CITO host and the cache CO, we grabbed our bags to start collecting some rubbish. Of course we naturally headed towards GZ, and as we got close we had a break from the CITO to make a quick discovery and had CIH. Plenty of camo there!

Now back to the CITO. There is heaps to collect around here after the recent storms. Some of that rubbish is 5m above the creek now! TFTC

FTF!!!!!!
The first step to this mystery cache proved to be significantly difficult, we were at it for about 6 hours all together before we eventually figured it out. As soon as we crunched those numbers we were on the road to find the cache. Had to cross a creek in order to retrieve the cache, but once it was found, we were ecstatic!
TFTC, was so much fun ️
