BBB Rowville, Victoria, Australia
By Muzza on 13-Feb-03. Waypoint GCD420

After coming here to do this one last September but turning back at the car park as I had my geodog with me (but dogs not allowed), today I was with Snips and Co. Glad that was the case as she made this difficult find. I'd never have looked there, due to the terrain rating. It shows how soft the T ratings must be now compared with decades ago! Snips couldn't get the container out so I had to scramble to the GZ and retrieve it. The contents were a great array of good stuff but we left it all for others. Thanks Muzza for such a well stocked and maintained cache. A lovely spot for it too.

**Happy 21st to this cache for this year! What a milestone.**I have spoken to the CO before about the absence of logic in my life and yet here I am again, faced with what seems to be a logic puzzle. They are only combinations. I can do those. I will try all of them, and by the looks of the checker I probably did!All good. Patience 1 Logic 0Today Connie&Rick and I stepped out in the area and this cache was on our list. We wandered along the path until perpendicular to the cache and started inward. What a pretty area and lovely animal tracks to follow. The sun was shining and all was good.Soon we were within metres of the cache, but huh, a terrain of 1.5 meant it couldnt be in those tricky spots just ahead so we looked around but nothing to be seen. I climbed up a bit and spied the stash quickly. But, you know, putting my arm in there is not one of my favourite activities. Connie to the rescue. Up she came and the grand cache was in the warm sunlight within seconds. So what does BBB stand for? Did I find out? No.I did find a *big beast of a box* though. Mind you if I were to spell out the name of this cache it would be **BEGUILING BECKONING BOLD**Thanks Muzza, this was a treat

09:48After catching the 5:24 train and celebrating the Solstice on Brighton Pier, the plan, obviously, was to kick on for more caches, like the nearby SideTracked ones.Well, n0w0rries and I got sidetracked, all right... as we were heading for the first station, a couple of emails arrived, and suddenly we were off to Churchill and Lysterfield Parks.And while my driver strode off towards a brand new, unsigned log, I took a slight detour towards one I'd been hoping to get to for years.Carefully finding my way to the coordinates, I made a beeline straight to a likely hiding spot. The cache was, in fact, in the first place I looked... but did I spot it that first time? Of course not.A bit more looking and I checked again... and could see it from a short distance. D'oh.Thanks, Muzza. It's great to finally get a smiley on this hide from over twenty-one years ago. Everything is in fine condition.#8912

Streak Day 19/366After a day out at work, a cache was needed to continue the streak, so this one was picked as it was the closest. The trip to GZ was made a bit more exciting by several encounters with kangaroos, however there was one that stopped us in our tracks a bit as we came across a very large one. After what you could call a slight mexican standoff, the roo moved on which allowed us to continue on our merry way. Arrival at GZ was followed by a lengthy search, with not much going our way. With a slight time constraint to get home for someone to pick up some books, we were about to call it a day, until the cache was found nicely tucked away in one of the last places we searched.Tftc Muzza

So much to love about this cache..the logical puzzle solved last night in anticipation of today's walk. Location Hide and the Golden Oldie bonus I'm not sure about the path I took to GZ, but I figured how hard can 100 meters be. (The real,case was that I was too lazy to follow the trail around knowing full well i might need to double back) the gaiters went on and thankfully, the animal trail found lead past GZ ... GZ ...wow okay ....First thought was hmm were would the CO hide this cache?... but i had to change my tactics after re reading the page.. right l was after the loot that the crooks had left behind. Well it appears that my past life chasing crooks has not fully left me behind. Thinking like a crook l soon had the cache in hand .... there were some cool swaps, but no jewellery or cash was located. 10 million would have done me nicely, going to have to be content with a smiley face. FAV point worthy thanks for the mini adventure.

I've especially come out today to target 3 caches in the park. None of them say no dogs allowed, so I've brought my geodog. But park signs clearly say no dogs allowed. A wasted journey of 50 km each way, kind of sad.

I replied to the reviewer many weeks ago, with no reply, so I am enabling this again.

###**GEOCACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###

Disabled - pending CO response to an email enquiry . . . . . . . . . .

New ammo can, cache, log book in place.

No lock at the moment.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to Muzza for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

We knew we were close to GZ when we found some sistema plastic between some rocks, them we spotted some swag lying in the grass, and then a closed padlock in the ‘cave’ Then we saw the cache.

What a shame this cache is so broken.
The last finder did a good job at fitting the pieces back in the bent ammo tin. And the log is still very good and dry.

In the spirit of the game Mrs W decided she’d open the lock… and she did. The closed/locked padlock is now also back inside the cache should anyone else like to give it a go.
Thank you muzza.

**This Cache:**

How disappointing is this!
The CO does maintenance, it gets just ONE single find, and then the next finder reports it is damaged again

No good, given the location it is quite surprising too, not somewhere I would expect too many muggles to just stumble across.

The ammo can has been hit and bent several times, so much so that the sistema inside has also been smashed to pieces from the impact. It doesn't have a lock on it anymore either, as all reported by the finders before me also.

Sorry to see the damage done here, but found the cache, signed the log and replaced. Photo's uploaded so you can see the extent of it

Thanks Muzza

**Today:**

I was riding solo today! The other Adventure Boys all had other plans and caches they wanted to get, but I had my eyes set on some "ahomburg" challenges around Lysterfield, plus a few other interesting caches along the way including a virtual, some gadget caches and a few puzzles!

A long drive out this way from near Whittlesea, but well worth it! Plenty of hiking both on & off trails, but my hayfever was the worst it has been this entire season.... wasn't the best but I managed to push through as much as I could whilst taking plenty of rest breaks!

Today was also the hottest day of the trip, excellent sunny weather without any threat of it going sour, but this meant that I had to keep up the fluids and try to find shade when possible!

After all the hiking it was time to attend 3x event types for an evening of socialising! This is where the Adventure Boys rejoined! We first attended the CITO, then the event with an epic tree climb, and finished it off with a CCE near the city.

Thanks to all the CO's and event hosts who made this day wonderful!

Had a great walk around the paths of Churchill Park and collected a few of the caches I hadn’t found in the past.
GZ is a pleasant spot. The cache and cover are in a poor state. No code needed and breaking apart. Former glory to this cache Muzza. Nice to get a find though.

Great little tucked away spot. Cleared up a few old tinnies lying around while i was there. Thank you!

Found it with Silence49 . The container is without the padlock and is badly damaged by someone!

Found it with lance51 TFTC

Why, why did we decide to take a short cut eventually we got there with a couple of scratches to the legs-now to bust the combo. Hmm must have been the 24th possible combination and we cracked it- best we leave this job to future prodigy of Bob Carpaggio

The lock was stuck previously, and had been removed from the ammo can. A new lock is now in place.

TFTC

This was our first find and we loved it. Had fun looking and loved solving the lock. We forgot a pen but will be back to log our find in the note book. Thanks for a fun hunt.

So good to have some choice again of where to cache since COVID restrictions have eased. Thankfully this area was not effected by recent storm damage and the weather allowed us an opportunity to enjoy some bush walking today. This was a great hide with some challenging terrain around gz. We had no problem accessing the treasure today.
Thanks for a fun find Muzza

Found

An MTB on the trails and the ‘03 but were the lure this arvo! Set off with that slip of paper armed with options to find the treasure. Quiet enough and always nice to escape the busy burbs. CO aware of a wee issue that won’t stop anyone breaking the code. TFTC and the FUN Muzza

TFTC and the lovely hike. Completed after finding the remaining gadget caches.
Managed to get a nice scrape from the nearby rocks! Soldiered on and solved the puzzle. Systematically cracked this, on the last of the 24 combos! Seriously my luck

Out and about with Muzza for his 15Kth find. Loved the journey to this one. FP from me. TFTC Muzza

Got the answer after a few false starts but not quite sure how. No jewels.️HNB

Found with team milljrh and abthings on a lovely (albeit drizzly and overcast) afternoon caching in Churchill NP. The code was discovered using trial and error -- not sure if there was a logical means of determining it? Anyway, signed the log and very happy to have found this cache today. TFTC!

Must do 2003!

Wow, a great rocky adventure to set Roaming Howie up for his next 1000 caches!
Thanks.

After reading the logs I was expecting some epic rock scramble and needing a bobcat to move rocks. Fortunately it was much less effort and we made the fine soon enough and with some trial and error followed by a suggested solution by Kristysadventures which turned out correct we soon had the log in hand. Cache is in good condition. TFTC

Needing a walk today, even though it was quite warm, we headed off to tackle this cache. About 100m into our walk, we realised we were both looking at different cache pages. I was on this one, Steve on another. Back to the car to drive to a closer point, and off we start again:) The track to GZ is a little overgrown, so we slowly made our way, keeping a close lookout for any .

With the GPS bouncing all over the place, we spent the next half hour walking in circles until we reached an area that looked promising. Steve eventually made the find in a place he was a little reluctant to search, but of course it was the perfect place to hide this cache. Somehow we fluked the combination on our second attempt, even though the lock needs a little TLC.

Nice to have our name in this log. Thanks Muzza.

Back in this lovely National Park again today this particular cache was an absolute must for us to search for, with it being the final qualifier for a Challenge cache on Mystery caches found in each year since they were first laid. Once at Ground Zero the cache was soon located and log booked signed - our first ever Mystery cache find hidden in 2003. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Great container with a little scramble for the geokids to find.
Got the combination by process of elimination found the lock very stiff and had trouble moving a couple, might need some dwd40.
Thanks for a fun cache story.

Did not understand the BBB hint but worked out the 24 combinations. Found after a bit of climbing.

Passing this whilst picking up the gadget caches. Hadn't realised the way to it would be such a scramble considering the terrain rating! Cache found and Viv sorted the correct combination.
Tftc
Tim and Viv - ddm

Took a while to locate. I didn't really want to go there but in the end it was the last place to search. I figured out the Biggles Bear thing, but wasn't sure how to apply the 'hint'. I tried a few random combos, but then took a stab at reading and math, and I came up with an idea. Turns out I was correct! Walking away very pleased with myself.

Thanks Muzza. Cache found today in great condition. Trial and error method adopted by geo kid. Should have reconsidered his strategy. 22nd attempt successful. Ha.
Don’t give up, keep on trying...

Out with Echidna44. We thought we might become a bit confused with this one, but wrote down the permutations and worked through them logically. Bingo.

Pretty easy to find but took a while to find out the code

Out with BoabTree, we planned the day to start with the gadget series in Lysterfield Park.
When we had finished the gadget series, we saw this puzzle nearby and decided we could master it. A short time later we were signing the log. Thanks muzza.

Grub62 had seen this group of gadget caches so we are on a mission to complete them. Steep hill tracks plus some bush bashing are not easy for older overweight unfit geocachers like myself but I love a gadget cache so I struggled to keep up with Grub62. Making it eventially to GZ we found a well construced and thought out cache. Well done Muzza. Grub62 had written down all combinations of the numbers provided but had missed a couple of combinations which she wrote at the top of her list. Wouldn't you kow it we actually snagged the numbers 1st go. An absolute fluke. GZ was a bit rough for oldies like me but we got in and out saftly. TFTC Muzza.

Having heard that Hotline was soon to be decommissioned Bunadoorian and I ventured out to find the gadget caches today. We ended up being mountain goats today and found this cache. I had the codes all written down ready to try them all and we lucked on the correct one first off!! Log signed and returned. TFTC Muzza. Find 2 of 8 today.

Nice find with Sims_family and Ausfox;

We were in the area with the primary goal of grabbing a cache that is about to be archived and was something a little bit special. So of course while here we thought we would try and make a dent in the area and add a few smileys to our map.
As Neville_devil approached this one from above I had taken a slightly different route and came from below. It was easier for me tr grab the cache from my location. Ausfox; was ready with a list of numbers to try but have luck would have it the lock wasn't closed properly. After the log was signed and this time the lock locked up tight the cache was returned to its hide.
Thank you muzza for the hide

Needing a reasonable easy day because of a knee injury, a walk around Churchhill park with Simsfamily and Neville devil seemed like a good idea, but with many more ups and downs than expected I spent the day in pain, but It was well worth it with a variety of Great caches around the area.
This was one of the target caches today. Came ready with numbers to try but no need for that as the lock was unlocked..
Log signed and replaced as found (we'll sort of, cache was locked)

Thanks for the Cache Muzza
#4,540

My monthly RDO saw me today doing a solo trip through Churchill Park, Lysterfield, Belgrave and the Dandenongs.

I have been chasing old caches for a little while now, which is my new challenge. I couldn't go past this given I was riding straight by doing the gadget cache series.

The 1.5 terrain was a struggle as it was not at all just off a path of flattish track, but took a little bit of search and scramble. soon found what I needed - Ahh, ammo can! And set to work. Bang, open second go! Phew.

Wonder what the digits represent? Cheers Muzza!

What a great spot! It took me a while to find the stash, which was nicely tucked away. It wouldn't surprise me if there was other treasure located in this area that isn't marked on a map! I was lucky enough to find the correct combination on my third try. Wasn't so happy that I then dropped a rock on my foot (ouch) as I replaced the cache. TFTC

Quite a find! Nearly had a few slips climbing up. But once we found it had it open on the 3rd or 4th combo.

If I was a robber and had to hide a stash - this is EXACTLY where I would hide it! What a great location with great hiding spots, you have nailed the theme of this cache Muzza, I love it Im not sure if there is a direct route to solving this puzzle but I tried something else and soon had the great container open. I stayed in this location for a while longer to take in the ambience and then headed off to the next one. Thx Muzza for a very cool cache!

Whilst looking in the wrong place I slipped and fell landing on a sharp rock, luckily it missed anything vital, otherwise it would have been a tricky place to get extracted from. OHC was on hand though to help me find the cache and to be of assistance if I needed to be dragged out
I’ll have a nice bruise in a few days and I’ll add a pic to the log

Out for the caching day with Crank1. TFTP and bringing us here. Love this hide. A fav from me.

A good time for a rest cheers

All the kangaroos are on public holiday...

Find number 6471 at 2:19:58 pm
Grabbed doing a small loop of gadget caches in the area.
Not sure why I had overlooked this cache for so long as I enjoy chasing the older caches and this one certainly qualifies at 15 years of age.
A nice little puzzle to gain access to a challenging hide in a great location.
**Thanks for placing this cache Muzza**

Big things are continuing to happening in Victoria! *Are you joining in the fun?*
[**THE PARKVILLE EVENT 2018**](https://coord.info/GC75D90)
*17th & 18th November 2018 - GC75D90 - Parkville - Melbourne - Victoria*

This cache had been on hold for a long time because I was a bit confused on jow to solve the puzzle, but while in the area today had a brain wave and went looking for it.
Must have taken the long way to get to the gz, but did see something that stood out. Found the cache and 2 of the kids came over the check it out.
Son wanted to be the one to open it, and just as we were starting to think that he must have entered a number incorrectly, the lock opened on the second last possible number.
Thanks for the cache Muzza

Found while walking around Churchill Park.

Found with Danoz. Tftc

We had logged a dnf on this one about 6 months ago, found the container but c.geo decided to blur out an important number (it works now). So today my mission was to return and crack the code, this time I pre planned with the numbers written and a spreadsheet f all the possible combinations. Back at GZ it was a relatively quick find of the cache as I remembered where, then it took only 5 minutes to crack the code and sign the log book. TFTC.

Enjoying a morning's caching in the area with Chook's son Lazyade, we spent about 10 minutes poking around the area looking for this one, but the day was getting very hot so we decided to call it and come back another day. Thanks anyway Muzza - we will be back.

My family were away on a trip to New Zealand so I planned a few evening excursions to cache after work. Exhausting but great fun as I headed here straight from work in Frankston and tackled a bunch of caches in Churchill National Park that I hadn’t tried before. In the midst of the paultheball gadget series I was close to this one so decided to give it a go. I found the cache quickly enough but struggled with getting to the loot so much so that I reckon I tried three full sets of the numbers before cracking it (I should add I have a history of not managing to open such devices!). My twelfth find of fifteen on a sunny evening in splendid isolation in this park. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for this cache muzza.

14:38, 5 Jan 2018, #526, Out with Ali while on school holidays doing some Gadget caches that I have wanted to do for ages and on my watch list, in this large and hilly park we were joined by Sezzy2683, CTheExplorer, and Jascat.

Hmmm this one was a very interesting and challenge to find.. maybe the Terrain rating might need to be changed.. we followed the trail into this area and then found a large tree was in the way and some smart person, who I will not name but is a kinder teacher.. hint hint.. lol... started to sing some smart assed songs and we were all laughing about it and tried to work out how best to get closer to the GZ..

About 10 mins later, after all of us using our phones and a bit of rock climbing and cliff walking (Adam look at us now was going thru my mind)... we got close but not close enough, we were still a few mtrs away from the hiding spot.. it wasn't up there or in there how about over there.. and i thought what about there.. so i ventured over and bam there it is.. i loved the large sized container.. yipee.. now for the combo.. hmmm well this one i had a bit of help with and it wasn't long before i was into the log and it was signed and we traded a few swaps.... I placed it back in it's tricky hiding spot and we all ventured back to the trail.. it was getting quite hot now.

Before we got to far away i was looking for my sunnies and worked out that i had
misplaced them while looking for this one, so back i had to go and retrace my steps to find them.. thankfully they were safe, not far from where i sat while retrieving the container, i returned to the gang and off we went... TFTC ~;0)

Last cache of the day ( cough cough - check Do You Measure Up) before Jascat, Sezzy2683, BoatieTim and I were free to go home.

This one was a challenge. I'm not convinced about the 1.5 T rating here!

One of us, not me, was adventurous enough to find and retrieve this one, and got in easy enough to qualify for a Spy Award

It was a nice big one that almost had a pair of great sunglasses added in as swag in error.

For anyone wondering, all 9 of these took us a little under 5 hrs on a relatively hot day and at a leasurely pace. With a nice long stop for lunch in the middle.

Totally worth the effort.

Thanks PaulTheBall for a great day out.

Met up with CTheExplorer, Jascat and Boatietim for a day of gadget caching hunting. Great day for it, started off at a good time, before the heat kicked in.
All these gadget caches are so well made.
This one had us all scrambling over rocks, logs and through grass. Boatietim got to a fallen tree and said "Its over there, but I cant get there" so what does the kinder teacher in me start singing "We're going on a bear hunt- except changed the words to "We're going on a cache hunt, we're going to find lots of them, uh oh a log,, cant go over it, cant go under it, you'll have to climb over it." I think the sun was starting to get to me.
Great cache. this was one of our last ones and was hot, hot , hot. But was still a great hiding spot.

After meeting up with BoatieTim, Sezzy 2683, ctheexplorer we headed of in search of gadgets and a few puzzles. Some friendly help with this puzzle and we were home and hosed. A great sized cache. TFTC

Well we found it eventually. I stayed safe in the shade while the others braved the rocks. Took half a dozen tries to get the code... still have no idea about BBB tho.

The letters BBB in South Australia send shivers down your spine as it stands for "Big Bad Brad" caches that are always located well into the middle of huge spiky cactus! So whilst I was having a little freak out at the name of this cache, the chivalrous micaparamedic went in for the find.

I have been in Victoria for just over a week (visiting from Adelaide), hanging out with the lovely micaparamedic and attending lots of events. Today we headed out to this area with the focus being on checking out the gadget caches and we picked up this one and a new challenge cache also. Sadly the weather was extremely hot, and this which gives me a huge incentive to return to this beautiful spot (maybe on a cooler day).

Thanks so much for the mystery cache Muzza!

Spent way too long trying to find this one. Just as I was about to go back I managed to find it. Got the code on my second try. Very rewarding cache, thanks!

Quite hard Hidden place but awesome reward!

Caching this side of the park today, this was a really a good proper cache. We solved the puzzle and got the code. We were wary about snakes, but fortunately none surfaced or came to see what we were up to. Glad to move on once we had business sorted.
---------
With 3 million geocaches on the planet, we've chosen yours to find. You should be thanking us!

This was one of the key reasons for geo-dad convincing teen to come out for a bike ride. We're trying to grab a cache that was placed in each month, and there aren't a lot of "teenage" caches in existence.

For all that, the cache is in great shape. Must be the difficulty in working out the combination to get into the treasure-trove. But eventually with persistence we were successful. Placed back carefully and no fingers were jammed under camo. TFTC Muzza.

Legoman9x found and cracked this while I was still wimpering and walking on the path, being scared of falling as I have bad balance on rocks lol. Terrain should be higher imo.

Using huge rocks to cover it seemed kinda dangerous for retrieval/replacing back due to the angle of the hide. He injured his finger while hiding it back. The rock was very heavy from what he said and using a flat thin one might be better.

Tftc! Was a nice, cool place, like we'd found some ruins.

Found with winniethebear. this cache was in a nice secluded rocky area. getting the container was slightly difficult with the camo being pretty heavy. when I put the camo back on top, I jammed my finger between it and a rock and was in a bit of pain for a couple of seconds before I could get my hand inside to move it enough to free myself. wish the camo was lighter.

I had skipped over this one on past visits here so when beckNmonts said she had the stuff for it I was happy to have a go. Took awhile but we eventually got the thing open. Yay. TFTC

On a walk with WeRAmused today, we spent some time working out the combination, but finally got there! Thanks for the cache! TFTC Muzza

Well we did find it, but we didnt sign it, a slight problem that we couldn't penetrate it to apply pen to paper, it turns out that one of the numbers we had was completely blurred on c.geo, and it would have resulted in trying some 1000 options and time just didn't permit this. Oh well back another time, we did need this one for mystery month, but will find another

A mystery interlude in the gadget cache circuit, and it fitted in quite well. ClanMagee managed to find the cache and with a methodical process we soon had it open. Maybe we approached the wrong way, but it seemed to be a bit higher than T1.5.... TFTC!

ClanMagee, including it's newest 11-week old member, joined with diana8 for an afternoon tackling the Churchill Park Gadget Series. Since we were in the area and walking right past, we had a go at this venerable cache!

After a systematic approach, we soon had our hands on the loot! Thanks Muzza, lots of fun. A rather good spot to hide a treasure and glad to see these old caches persist and well-cared for. +1 fav.

Today we set out to do some Traditional Cache's but we couldn't go past this one. Plus, Bonus, it has a low difficulty rating so it meant the GeoTeens could give it a go. LouJean1970, myself and our GeoKids enjoy the hunt for this one, especially because our GPS jumped around a bit.
Once we stood back and looked we found a likely spot and BAM we had the Cache in hand. Swaps was a must with this one.
TFTC

What fun we had doing this cache with TaylorHunters09 who was well prepared with the required info. The geokids had great fun clambering and searching while the GPS was bouncing. Finally a look from a different vantage point had us in the correct spot and there it was, tucked away all nice, new and dry. Thanks for the fun here

I headed out there today armed with an ammo can with a sistema inside it. I was amazed that in just two days since the last finders, there was already water inside it that had to be drained.

The whole thing has now been replaced including the log and the contents. Hopefully the new gear will fend better against the moisture.

Cache container was full of water and everything inside, including the log book, is saturated. We emptied the container and returned it to its original location however it would be good if some maintenance is undertaken soon and maybe change the container to make it more waterproof since it seems to catch rain water that flows over the rocks.

As Biggles of Oz previously logged, it was just a bit wet, too wet to sign but as the photo's prove we did find it.
TFTC TNLN

We had to tip up the container to pour out all the water inside the box (refer Biggles of Oz's photo) before we could attempt to open it. Once open the rest of the water was emptied out of the box and out of all the snap lock bags. Owner needs to replace the container to something more watertight, and everything inside needs replacing / drying out.

We located this one quite easily today however we were surprised at the amount of water that had got into the container. When I lifted it out of its hiding place I could hear the water sloshing within and it took almost a minute to drain it before attempting to open the container. I guess it's needless to say that signing the log book was impossible so we just took a couple of photo's to support the maintenance log that I will soon submit to the owner. (I notice a couple of logs back as far as March have mentioned that the cache was wet but didn't bother to submit maintenance logs so the owner could attend to it. To quote the younger generation: *"Like, derrr, isn't that obvious?"* Apparently not!
Anyway we opened this one first attempt using the tried and true technique which never fails with these type of combination locks.
TFTC

Out to pick up the remaining caches in the gadget series with Biggles of Oz and Mrs Biggles then we picked up this cache on the way back to the geomobile. Biggles of Oz made the discovery, but before attempting to open the cache Mr Pooky tipped it up to remove all the water inside the box (refer Biggles of Oz's photo). Biggles of Oz soon had the cache open with the right combination and together with Mr Pooky emptied the rest of the water out of the box and the water out of all the snap lock bags. Unfortunately the log book was far too wet to sign but we do have photographic evidence of the find. Owner needs to replace the container to something more watertight, and everything inside also needs replacing / drying out. TFTC TNLN

Think I worked out the 3 Bs. This cache is soaked. The poor log book is swimming!

Ltf

Got it. Took some time. And a million different possibilities Really cool cache. Although it's soaking wet on the inside. Tftc

A moist cache in the middle of summer?! This one took some time to nut out. And BBB??.... no idea
Another favorite point for a cool idea

Found with Sir J-Oz & skirrel.
Today's mission was to find all the caches in the gadget series as part of a goal to find as many award nominated caches before the actual awards.
It was a hot day and we chose to go up to the more hilly ones 1st.
This was a good decision as it became hot as the day progressed.
This cache was in the circle we were travelling so we left LouiseAnn to rest and made our way to GZ. Always nice to find an older cache.
I wonder how much the area has changed since it was placed?
At least I know what BBB stands for. Tftc

Ummmmm...
It was quite rocky with lots of rocks.

Find #2932. Found @12:27 with skirrel, LouiseAnn and sharkiefan.

The plan for today was to hit paultheball's gadget caches around Churchill National Park. Some of these have been nominated for the VCOY16 Awards, so we wanted to check out what all the fuss was about. The fuss was totally worth it - these caches are great.

A slight diversion was in store to get this one. It has been on my radar for way too long. LouiseAnn had already found this one, so went on to the next gadget cache location to have a rest in the shade while we bush bashed to get to GZ. Once on site, we scrambled about looking for the container for a bit, before I made the find.

Getting the container out was a bit more tricky, as it was nicely tucked away and had a wedged in rock that was not so simple to remove. After trying all of the possible subset of combinations (using the information given), we struck pay dirt on the last one - phew.

I put it back as I found it.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log, and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Muzza

As I was walking past this area thought I'd drop by and look here again. I'd been past last week but wasn't sure if the cache was at the location or there was a puzzle here, and I didn't have much time.

This time I looked harder and just as I was about to give up, turned around and spotted it.
Spun through a few numbers and the lock opened unexpectedly on the way to some different numbers I was trying...

Thanks for the cache.

I found this cache previously but the lock was broken so it didn't feel right logging it without solving the puzzle. Today I was back, cache is back up and running and after several tries I was able to crack it. Too bad there's not the real stash in here. Thank you

On a warm yet windy day I decided to drag my bike over to Churchill National Park and complete the caches that are scattered around there. Although I had been there a couple of weeks ago to grab a cache that was close to the entrance I did not realise just how high and steep the paths can get.

I had to abandon the bike and complete the last few hundred metres on foot. I found the cache quickly but the code took a little longer. TNLN. TFTC.

The box and the lock have both been replaced. All good to go.

Lock is broken and rusted so the box is not locked and no need to guess the puzzle...

Lock not on box will need fixing.... EAsy find but hard to get to, a lot of rocking hoping climbing up and down... but just the way we like it....

Found on a day doing the other gadget caches in the park on a sunny day in the September school holidays. Terrain was a bit tough for 5 year old geoson but after some rock hopping cache was in hand. As mentioned by previous geocachers the lock is broken so no puzzle was solved! TFTC Muzza
