I guess i was just tired of ppl breaking my caches

TFTC would have been a tricky one but it slid straight out! Favourite point for just the theory of the challenge!

Omichromium I found your cache Photosynthesising Puzzle Box on 29/11/2023, 6:00pm. This is my find 6271 and find # 16 today. Which tree. Eventually found the cache. Solved the puzzle, signed and returned. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Found it

Puzzling puzzle

Found the puzzle boxThe puzzle was fun to doThe rain stopped falling.

Accio 10:06:44Day one of my holidays ... and I am out here urban caching! Quick find here and no worries opening it.Thanks Omichromium for entertaining me at this location. *{Overall find #11593}*

Whilst heading home, I decided to stop at this geocache that was on the way, and thus I parked nearby at the SES car park. A short walk down the hill, and it didn't take long to find the cache. It is a shame that Geocachers get too aggressive and they excessively wear these kinds of puzzle boxes. Otherwise, the cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Omichromium for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.----------This morning, it was an early start to run the Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane 10 km run - I left my vehicle at Murrarie Wetland, and then I had [jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) collect me from the finish at the showgrounds / Herston, to then drive back to grab the car. After grabbing a nearby geocache in Murarrie, we had breakfast in Bulimba, and then I stopped at a few geocaches in Morningside and Norman Park before joining the rest of the family at home. There is something to be said with early starts to utilise the outdoors before it gets too hot (like it did today).

I was up this way for a dental check up so decided to swing by here on the way home. Found a good parking spot and wandered over to GZ.Lovely trees in here.Found cache, extracted log to sign and then replaced for next player.Great cache. All well here.TFTC Omichromium.

We werent sure whether to try for this one because we were on a time limit before picking a kid up from an excursion. However, we thought we might as well give it a go as we have found a very similar cache in the not too distant past. The cache was retrieved by The Marble who kindly, or not so kindly, handed it over to me to do the extraction of the logbook. I managed to gain access more quickly than expected and felt a great sense of accomplishment when the log fell into my hand. Replacing it was slightly more challenging and at one stage I was wondering whether I would need to pop it back unfinished. Thankfully that wasnt required and its all back as found. Thanks Omichromium

Quickly located the cache and DisSister, who is far better at puzzles than I, was able to extract the log fairly quickly. TFTC

Took way longer than it should have. But got there in the end. TFTC

It was good to solve

Found with the boys! Log in good condition. Cool puzzle box!

This was a fun one. TFTC

What a fantastic cache gets a favourite opened without hint more by luck than judgement and I then spent ages putting it back together

TFTC Found it and love it.

Great bit of fun, took me a little longer to solve than I’d like

I’m a complete failure - always struggle with this type of puzzle but thought I’d have a go. I’ve half opened it but can’t get it back closed. I’ve informed the CO and hopefully they can come and close it soon.

It was an easy find but it took me a while to extract the log. I have seen a few of these puzzles and I thought that I had it worked out how to open them but it took lot longer than it should have .

I love a 3D cache container. We went for a bushwalk last weekend and found a similar gadget so it was a matter of a bit of patience which soon revealed the log. Also a bit more cache to restore to its original position. Thanks for placing for our enjoyment

While my husband was watching a nearby AFL game i took time out to come and find this cache. I found it quickly and it was half out so i took it back to the car thinking it might take me a long time. I ended up getting the log book out in a few minutes and then once signed i took my time just gently , gently and it ended up taking me 10 minutes to do all the duties. I have had luck in the past with these types of caches and i think the gentle approach works the best. Giving it a FP for all the fun

I took a little while looking for the cache, having managed to forget how to follow the GPS, but once I was in the right place it was an easy find. That, however, is where my success ended. I may have discovered why people keep breaking this little puzzle box.
I was being very, very careful, but somehow got it to the point where it will neither go forward nor back, without force. I'm assuming it has somehow jumped its tracks. Now I can't get it open or shut and don't know what to do with it. I don't want to break it by forcing it open, but had no choice but to to put it back in it's current state.

Found the puzzle and got puzzling.
Got totally stuck at one point, believe that it was the inner container that was blocking me.
Suddenly things moved and I added my name to the log.
Resetting to its original state I got stuck again, the inner container for sure this time.

Thank you for this one

Needing a cache for the day, I thought I’d try and redeem myself here…

It wasn’t hard to find the container, and then after a little this, and a little that I had the log in my hand…

Thanks Omichromium ??

After the cache being broken again I've printed a new lid and put it on. Again, please just give up on solving it if you cant, dont break the cache

Another month, another souvenir. My luck is holding with the souvenir grab this year. 1st month I was in a new city, so 100 finds was almost done in 1 day with Adventure Labs. Last month had an easier out option with a repeat of 100 finds, and a trip on the NRRT gave me almost that many finds.

This month is 20 days of finds and I only have to work two of those days.

Another hunt inn the dark before work. Fortunately finding the cache was easy and sight is not really an advantage in accessing the log. A favourite point for this one.

Down in Brissy for a parkrun adventure with Wallaby Wanderers and of course that meant a few finds after. A quick find and then onto the log. We signed our names and returned to where we found. Thanks for placing this one for us to find

Lovely catch up with geo people today at the CITO. Then Domsky, chamad and I went caching together.

Thank you for the cache Omichromium. Quick find and retrieve by chamad.

After todays cito event I managed to catch up with Domsky and Esmiley to do some local caches. A couple I had the answers to, there were a couple where the need of distractions were required, then then were a couple that having a previous finder present was a big help.
I needed to keep my Challenges going and this was a great benefit for the day, thank you.

We all stopped here and played with the puzzle box of this cache. There was no need to use the provided hint here as we all managed to open the cache with no issues. With the log signed and the cache replaced as found, we moved on to the next one for the day. thanks for this one.

Why do plants use photosynthesis?
So they can have a light snack!
Haha TFTC

A great day out Geocaching with E_Smiley and Chamad. After the CITO, we headed off for an adventure!
We found this one, and spent some time working with it so that the goods were revealed.
Thanks.
Safely returned as found

5 seconds to find it and 30 mins to solve it was challenging but got it at last tftc

Out by myself to get a few caches in the southern suburbs today.
Found it easily and it wasn't to hard to access the log. Log signed and returned to cache but I think it took me longer to close the cache than to open it. Cache replaced as found. TFTC

Thank you for this awesome little cache. took us way longer than expected but got there in the end.

After a long morning of house cleaning and cooking it was time to break the domestic shackles and get out and enjoy the out doors and locate a few caches.

It didn’t take long to get myself to ground zero and locate the end prize. Extracting the cache from its hiding space I removed the cache and make a mark and turn this little gem into a smiley.

A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to be found.

Cheers

ok its back in a slightly different colour, another reminder that you do not need to be aggressive to solve this cache

After checking again is broken beyond repair, ill put a replacement soon

Nope…. I was expecting a quick find but totally failed here…

Another day then…

Cache is still there and solvable but seems someone broke the bottom half it trying to get it open so I'll replace that part soon

*FTF*

That was a tricky one. Thanks for the fun Omichromium

T.F.T.C !!!!! Yes it was quick find but opening and closing it bacame a nightmare lol anyway it is all back in place ready for the next finder thanks for bringing me here !
