Nice day so decided to finally do this one accompanied by annabella 02 after a nice climb up and up finally reached gz but no luck either muggles have been here or the lady has been washed to sea again by all the rain very sad as I was hoping to find her

Armed with information from a previous finder we made the spectacular journey to rescue Lady Oak from her imprisonment and hopefully find the treasure that all cachers love to claim.
The search was put on hold until the soldier muggles made themselves scarce allowing us to enjoy the ambience of the area. Once we got down to the necessary level a thorough search was implemented without any luck.
Sorry Biggles Bear we were not able to help Lady Oak on this occasion , hopefully we were just blind today.

Annabella02 , Sassieold55 will always be tempted by bountiful treasure !

Finally after many months it looked liked we were going to rescue The Lady Oak at last. On approaching our waypoint we could hear the steeds were close by, sassieold55 a horse rider with many years experience opted to catch the steeds. Along the trail we came across 3 international muggle tourists who offered to help in our quest to free The Lady Oak from the chest and that evil Biggles Bear. Stealthily we came upon GZ and one of the muggle tourists offered to retrieve the chest, when it was handed to me I accidentally dropped it and it nearly tumbled into the abyss below, as I opened the chest it was a very grumpy not so evil Biggles Bear and!ady Oak who was not happy or amused, as we had woken them from their sleep. We were forgiven after awhile and I suggested would they like to sit in the sun, The Lady Oak told me a rescue wasn't needed as her heart and home was with Biggles Bear now, and that it was thoughtful of us to come and know she hadn't been forgotten. So with a happy ending for all of us we bid farewell to Lady Oak and Biggles Bear as we returned them back to their chest to slumber away the days until the next rescue .TFTC Biggles Bear it was an adventure and a deserving point as well.

I defeated the dragon a long time ago, but at the time was unsure of where Lady Oak was imprisoned. So I wandered around the woods trying to find the damsel in distress, and finally after three and a half years, this weary knight in shining armour found the balcony where the maiden awaited...
Actually today it took me less than half an hour from the car to GZ and back. The cache was found easily, and it was bountiful treasure indeed - Lady Oak rewarded me with the pleasure of an original logbook, where I delighted in reading the whole tale with the original entries from more than a decade ago.
Thanks, Biggles Bear.

With the coordinates in hand and the light fading, I was on a mission to save the princess before nightfall. The tourists had vacated the area and I was free to poke around in search of the fair maiden.

Mission complete! Nice to have a bit of a journey and a slight departure from the traditional geocaching gameplay.

Had to wait for the crowds to clear. Nice easy find.

"travel all over the countryside"... Have driven past this location hundreds of times and finally 'I went in' - Well worth it. TFTC

Found with McWillid whilst staying in Kennet River. We found part 1 last time we were down at Lorne but didn't have time for part 2. This time we re-visited part 1, obtained the co-ords for part 2 and headed off. We had a great walk up to GZ and found the cache with no trouble. TFTC!

I am already 2 weeks with my Hippie Camper on the road and have already 2000 km of Caching behind me.
I will say thanks to all the Owner to Show me all this nice places.
THANKS A LOT.
Was a nice walk.

Make sure to turn left! TFTC

#5887 Given that we had commenced this quest it was only fitting that we finalize it (well try to at least ). So we intrepid caching adventurers embarked on our journey hoping against hope that we would be saving and not being defeated. We very much enjoyed our walk toward GZ and found it to be a fitting place for rescuing. Interestingly as we came to GZ we found the cache container, quite intact and in good condition, sitting out in the open, the last 4 entries in the log book where muggle entries (the cache was last found by a cacher on 30/12/13). We tried to replace in such a way as to be hidden from curious muggles. Loved the location of the final GZ so we left our St George Pathtag - which we think is also is fitting. Our thanks to Biggles Bear for the fun, we really enjoyed this quest and the final location and so a FP from us. Cheers [^]

I carried out the rescue this morning but found that the Fair Lady Oak had fallen in love with the Biggles Bear and no longer wanted to be rescued. So I signed their visitors book with my quill and bid the happy couple a farewell. Picture attached. TFTC.

Thank you for part II cache (we found part I earlier in day). Our Medieval children enjoyed the quest and left a dragon stone.

found it

after some confusion, we gave up, but are eager to return and complete this one.

Its been a while since anyone dare venture after this dragon, I am sure the princess has given up all hope!
But never fear, Stooy is here! *pretends to ride invisible toy horse*
After navigating the rocky ravine and temporarily being entranced by the beauty of the waterfall, I proceeded on my tretcherous quest overcoming the sharp slippery rocky cliffs, by using the path.. hey it got the job done. I arrived at GZ and posed in some rediculous positions as one needs to be a skilled contorsionist to extract this treasure. Victorious!
An awesome pair of caches and a well constructed Quest, thanks for the adventure +1fav

21/06/2011. Fresh and confident from our initial find (our first) we then met the vagaries of geocaching. We found the tower but not the cache - novices that we were. Parked the steed athe coords but Doc didn't read 2nd part of instructions and headed bush at the stables - no cache but did find a bong and a bag of chocolate (no -we didn't count them as teasure found). Took steed back to first and reread instructions properly. Lovely walk lovely tower. We will be back to find this one - nothing shall deter the determined.

Really enjoyable walk with some good friends, Nathan, Luke and Kirk, who assisted with the cache search. TFTC.

I was not sure I was going to beable to completete the Quest today but as I rode up the track on my trusty stead named Getz I spotted something that looked like a path to the dragons lair, i checked the distance, just to far for mum to walk, I was going to leave it but she insisted I do it, so I began my journey of peril finally arriving at the dragons lair where I captured the dragon and rescued the lady Oak. Thanks Biggles for the cache and showing me this great location.

8058 An enjoyable walk to find out where the Dragon had spirited away the Lady Oak… Awesome spot for the final, first dragon slayer to visit since March.

Many thanks Biggles Bear for a nicely themed pair of caches.
Cheers YuGeo4, Greetings from New Zealand.

Damn GPS giving us false positions!
We crossed the river and headed to the oposite side and it looked to still be 70mts away. Geohubby snuck past the control burn sign on the closed track without luck so set off through the bush follwing the GPS. Geokids and myself had to pretend to be resting while a school group came along.
Now home and having read the previous logs it seems we sat right where the fair maiden was resting and will have to attempt the big climb once again to rescue her.

Went for lovely walk with KirkyKrew and Motorbikewas. With all the rain we've had this year the falls were looking beautiful.

After slaying the dragon 12 months ago, I was back down in this area and so Lady Oak was finally saved. There were some warning signs about fire, but knowing that the dragon was no more, decided to brave it. Enjoyed the journey along the river and view at the end. TFTC

Noble horse procured after part 1 and with Little Blue Hen flapping and fluttering behind we began our ascent upon the lair. Luckily empty spot located and was mesmerised by the princesse's beauty as she was about to wash her golden locks. Little Blue Hen reminded me that princesses were no match for her queenly presence so made do with signing the log. TFTC and exercise.

Had to keep an eye on Bkj97 and that gorgeous princess but he made the right decision in the end despite leading me down when we should have gone up. T4TC - most enjoyable concept.

After doing quest 1 and forgetting the co-ords for quest 2 my next stop yesterday was within a couple of hundred metres from Lady Oak without me knowing it. Anyway, grabbed the co-ords today, picked up a horse at the stables and rode to free the Princess. On arrival I couldn't convince her to leave so there she remains. T:Viking. L: A Kings ransom in the form of a gold nugget. Enjoyed the ride to the castle. TFTC

I think the Lord Earthbound Chief said it all. I also think if I'd brought my trusty steed up this tower he would have died of a heart attack. Earthbound Agent 13 and I were a bit worried about the Chief actually. I could hear his knees clicking at 100 paces! TFTC, it was fun and the falls were pretty.

As we unsaddled after a tortuous ride, all five of our band of knights decided to join the rescue, now that the dragon was slain.An epic journey then followed as we ambled over hill and through dale. We were glad we did not have to ford the river torrent but upon seeing the tower a mighty groan escaped our lips. Two knights fell by the wayside, although they would suggest they were merely guarding our withdrawal. Three valiant knights continued up the tower, one in particular struggled chiefly for breath and sure footsteps. His two young companions leapt ahead and were soon at the towers peak. But they'd searched without luck. When finally, infinitely more experienced eyes arrived (with mighty red cheeks) and rescued the princess. Hurrah. Hurrah. Hurrah.
Oh.........she wants to remain....what a mighty royal, what a beautiful princess, what a loner. And so verily, the three despondent knights made their way down the tower to meet with their companions. Fortunately the withdrawal was still well protected. Back to our steeds, sad that the princess remains but proud and happy in our little bands achievements.

After my success with the non-appearance of the Dragon and gathering the details of where the fair Lady Oak has been impounded I parked my trusty steed and proceeded up the trail singing in Parsiltongue (Harry Potter) to warn any snakes that I was coming.

On arriving at the falls I discovered that I had taken a wrong turn, so backtracked and then up the trail with all the steps and arrived exhausted at the lookout. After a short rest it was back to the task of freeing the fair lady Oak which was duly accomplished.

As the time was now 12.55 and the weather getting hotter It was important that I get back to my trusty steed as soon as possible. NI-NO but thanks for an interesting couple of caches which were well thought out.

After slaying the dragon and more walking we soon found Lady Oak. unfortunately for her we had to wait for some muggles to leave be fore rescuing her.

And the Fair Lady was rescued this afternoon, just in time before a coach load of muggles arrived a worthy end to this series. Hats off Biggles Bear. tftc

Found with bucketeer
TFTC

At 14:58 We finally arrived at the tower and released the fair maiden (see pic)
It was a lovely walk even in the drizzling rain and thankfully there were no dragons to be seen. The vista from the top of the tower was grand and even my 5 year old lady in waiting was impressed with whole adventure.
My thanks again to Biggles Bear

I was involved in the great quest to slay the dragon one sultry trek back in February 2008 but did not have a chance to rescue the fair maiden back then . Nor did this brave knight have a chance to do so since that long ago day of yore! But fear not faithful reader for on this trek of over 300 miles from the setting sun over hill and dale did this gallant knight arrive at the place to rest his faithful steed with but one quest in mind. Although the way ahead looked steep and difficult, I was finally able to convince my trusted steed that we could rescue the awaiting maiden with still time to make it to the appointed luncheon engagement.

Onwards and upwards we trekked, with trusty steed sometimes carrying me but more often the other way around until we arrived at the holding pen of the Fair Lady Oak. After a short search, the fair lady was rescued for the first time this year at 10:00 and we both shared the wonderful views on this glorious morning .

Alas however, she begged to stay so she returned to her place of abode to await the next brave knight to free her from her concealment.

What a great trek and a very pleasant end to a wonderful saga on such a beautiful morning . Rest peacefully fair maiden until the next brave knight comes to your rescue .

TNLNSL, although our Happy New Year to the Cache geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Biggles Bear.

TeamDV to the rescue - well, almost! There's a sign at the start of the track which says that a section of the trail is closed, however, this is past the Tower, so you can rescue Lady Oak - if there's not too many Muggles around.

It was towards the end of the day as we headed up the mountain on our quest. Up and up we trekked. Further and further. More and More stairs. We arrived around the time as three Muggles decided to occupy the tower to rest after climbing down from the top of the mountain. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to rescue the Lady on this occasion..... so it was back down all those stairs......

What is this?, the iron horse has stopped not too far from the distant wails of the fair Lady Oak in the tower. Something that was totally unexpected!
The rescue plan was re hatched, accompanied by my own fair maiden it was onward to the tower.
It seems the dragon has his own guards protecting the Lady, so we bypass the tower and continue on where we can sit and figure out how to approach the Lady without confrontation.
We let some time pass where we come back to the tower and all is quite. Our digital mapping device is telling us it is 10m away, but we check here first as it looks most obvious. With no guards about we quickly grab up the Lady and make a swift exit before anyone notices, mission accomplished.

TNLN, Cheers.

Nearly got surprised by a jogging muggle. How can someone jog in this area?

Schöner kleiner Walk zum Tagesausklang. Wir haben Lady Oak gerettet!

(Continued)......After the gallant Sir BaldEd had stabled his steed he commenced the steep climb to the tower wherein the fair Lady Oak was imprisoned. This task was not easy as he was attacked time and time again by many thousands of small black winged carrion eaters as he climbed. But not to be thwarted from his rescue mission, he fought them all off and soon had the tower in sight. Lady Oaks was so delighted to see him that she lept safely into his arms and proffered him all her worldly goods. But unfortunately, as his planned journey was to be a long arduous one he declined them all as he preferred to travel light. Lady Oak was disappointed at this but then asked the gallant knight to sign her autograph book so that she would always have something to remember him by. This he did.
Thanks for the adventure Biggles Bear.

Rescued Lady Oak at 15:45!

TNLNSL

TFTC Biggles Bear!

Arggg!, I curse you, you evil Biggles Bear!
What manner of madness does possess you.
Master Philip had misread your script and set us forth on a wild goose chase into well trodden blackberries, bracken and untold misery, before a recovery led by the fair maiden Lady Sylvia put us back on the map and our sanity restored.
With our destination in sight we arrived to take the Fair Lady Oak from her prison and let her breath the fresh air of the valley, but naught pleasure could we give her, no food would she eat nor drink pass her lips, so with her brief whiff of freedom over and our legs weary from travel we let her look around one last time before stuffing her back in her plastic bag and shoving her back in the cache for the next questors to seek!

Find # 2052 and 8th find of the day at 1:43pm. Accompanied by Feathertop as we cached in and around the Lorne area. It would have been an wnjoyable walk to GZ but my knee started playing up and was just able to make it back to the car. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Biggles Bear....

Oenze and I found the cache after a lovely walk to GZ. This was cache find 2498 though at the start of the day I was hoping it would be 2500. Circumstances intervened and finally Oenze's knee gave out on the way to this cache which meant it would be the last of the day. A great finale anyway. TNLN thanks Biggles Bear. The highlight of the day down here.

[159] 1pm - Found with cdmark and GeoJnr - After slaying the dragon at WP1 both c&d of cdmark, GeoJnr and Mon of Team GraMon [Gra stayed at base camp with walky-talky just incase], ventured out to the rescue. Poor GeoJnr [Mon's Grandson 3] had to be piggybacked up on poorer C's back most of the way and Mon & D huffed and puffed along behind. The rescue was easy enough at a very nice waterfall [where D and Mon thought they may just camp for the rest of their lives as the walk back seemed too daunting and washing could be done sending the clothes down the waterfall Two shrieks were heard from D when 1-Mon paused to look at a lizard on a rock wall on the way up [stopped for a breather more likely! and D thought she saw a snake tail disappear into the grass near Mon's feet and 2-when walking back down D thought she saw said snake again near her feet. On return Mon had a very! red face but was told she could not die of a heart attack or stroke just yet as she has a new will in progress that she hasn't signed yet! LOL! Gra from the team saw some more Blue Wrens whist waiting at base camp. TFTC Biggles Bear - Cheers - Mon's legs, Blood Pressure and Heart may recover and C's back LOL

Most of the team headed off for the final stage of this one. Shrek (GeoJnr), Princess Fiona (D), Donkey (C), and the Fairy Godmother (Mon) headed off on their quest. Puss in Boots (Gra) happily suggested that he remain guard over our onion coach whilst we both had electronic carrier pigeons just in case things got ugly! Shrek started to struggle early and had to hitch a ride on Donkey. Princess Fiona soon regretted bringing all her robes with her, and the poor Fairy Godmother kept double checking that her anginine was still in date . A very pleasant walk to the base of the waterfall with Princess Fiona and the Fairy Godmother vowing not to continue on their journey as they wanted to take in the serenity near the running water. With a little convincing and some encouragement the team was again on its way to the final location. Oh No more stairs! Donkey was brave and determined shouting
"I'll find those stairs. I'll whip their butt, too. Those stairs won't know which way they're going".
We all eventually made it to the top and the rescue was completed! The team enjoyed the seat provided at GZ for some time before making the journey back. A neat cache Biggles Bear and well done to all our team making it there and back in one form or another. Mon reckons she might tackle some of Derringer's caches now . Cheers.
T: Two Fruits
L: Mondo & Fair Maiden

We had looked forward to completing this pair since they were first released but we were thwarted today on the second cache at WP1. A muggle just sitting in his car made the search for the first clue impossible and after 20 minutes we gave up and moved on. We manged to poke around a few of the spots but we were unable to even mount our steed for the rescue.

The two knights, not so shiny after the battle with the dragon,(ok VKC fell over in the mud)and their fair maidens headed off to save the day. A quick rescue and everyone lived happily ever after. Except VKC who was a bit muddy.
Signed log 1350 as 5th and final for the day.
A nice area I never been to before despite many trips down this way.

After resting overnight in a nearby castle it was off in my rusty.. trusty steed to resuce the damsel. After scaling great heights I neared the location and heard what I thought was the breath of the dragon but it turned out instead to be rushing, nay, gushing, water. On reaching the location I soon had her in hand (so to speak). She declined to be resued so I left her where she was for some other would-be rescuer. thanks Biggles for the cache and the fun.

Found today by Mr Emu, all 3 kids, plus 1 kid-friend @ 12.50 p.m., GAFF3. A nicely hidden cache that our guest geocacher retrieved with an impressive bit of technique.

The trek was very pleasant, although the area would look lovely with a bit more water about. Thanks for the concept, the walk and the cache, Biggles Bear.

Took: Nil; Left: Mondo Doll

4stubbies, windsor wizards and see saw 4 went off to rescue the fair lady. Fortunately we did this after the part 1 as I was confused about the initial co-ords. Off for a walk and I think one of the see saw 4 would suggest a change of rating for the terrain as she didnt make the distance. No water over the waterfall would look very different in the winter. Took girls nail set and left wine charm marker.

GZ located however had to stop for a breather after the trek there. Thought we'd try the other way out however it just went up & up so foot was put down & we turned around & went back the way we came. TFTC

Logging coins for distance.

One more.

after slaying the dragon ... continued west to complete the quest ... caring the scars of the previous battle [B)].
Nice climb into the tower and enjoyed the views whilst there ... took nothing, but left something appropriate for the maidens. TFTC
Dan

This was a fantastic spot to come venturing today, and for the first time my reluctant geocaching girlfriend remarked that this was the sort of cache even she could enjoy!

We took a number of photos and continued to explore the area for a while. It's a shame there isn't much water about.

Thanks very much,

R + A - B

After defeating the dragon at PT1 we seached for the tower and the castle and persistance paid off at last.

We took the doggie ( soap) for a run and left the dragon ( pink)! please dont set him free or else the circle will continue !!!!

TFTC and the story. !.

Found with the Coffees and Mystery Inc.

Found with the Coffees and Mini Cacher 1

Our quest started a few days ago and after battling fierce dragons we gathered what was needed to rescue the Lady Oak. Today was the day for the final battle and a battle it was.
Previously I entered the wrong relm and left without the Lady, but today we checked and found the true path to our victory. The quest was on and i set of in search, crossing rivers and climbing mountains towards the final location. As a neared my destiny the dragons set me off on the wrong path which turned to be a dead end. Seeing my ways of error I soon was on the right path and in no time I arrived at the final location.
The Lady was rescued in minutes and thankfully no dragons were sighted as the exhaustive search had taken it's toll on my mind and body.
Many thanks to Biggles for bringing me to this location for a great quest, and thanks for helping me correct the errors in our search.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "I think I needed the Lady to carry me back as I was in need of a Coffee" Clan.

Having been given our challenge, we started our crusade, boldly braving all the obstacles and fighting our way through the lowly muggles who, ignorant of the quest at hand, where merely mesmerized by the falling of the water.

From the chest of treasures was retrieved a screwdriver, and left in its place, dog of soap

A word of warning, there were 3 piles of glass in the carpark, one car with a smashed side window, so do not leave anything in the car which the lowlife scumbags could be interested in.

Wookus and Juan aided the Bug as we advanced through the gorge to find the Lady Oak. Victory is ours! TNLN but saw plenty of the magnificent terrain that we would not have ventured into if not for the call to rescue a damsel in distress.

Nice pair of walks.
A bit of rain last night made the tracks a bit slippery, but added to the waterfalls.
How did you resist using the named rock further up the track?
Took: frog, Left: spider - lots of good webs around today.
Thanks for this pair, Robmc.

Did this one right after part 1.
Found the Lady Oak in a pretty good shape.
Thanks for the cache!

Found by edmil & maddie. What a fantastic area. and I have just go to say it; if it wasn't for geocaching we wouldn't neve have visited the area. We had a great stroll to the cache location. It is just the spot to leave a princess stranded; however maddie just wouldn't be in it. The cache was located quickly. TNLN. Thanks for the challenge it was well worth it. TNLN

Nice walk on a lovely winter day.
Left: Simpson's toy Took: Incense

We'd been to these falls a couple of time before but never ventured up the upper path further than the top of the first falls you come to. We never knew that there was more to these falls. Thanks

Another nice walk, unfortunately there wasn't any water running at the falls today. Saw lots of birdlife in the area. TNLNSL.

found at 4:00
nice walk, warned by passers by of snakes sunning themselves, so eyes down at all times. would be lovely in winter after some rain.
thanks biggles bear
took nothing, left nothing

Found at 4.00pm GAFF4 on a quite warm afternoon - no breeze what-so-ever! We didn't feel that bold, nor chivalrous. We just wanted to get the cache. Took: Paper Clips, Left: Herb scent.

Found by Bob at 1605

The last of the 5 Great Ocean Road caches I did today while the family (who are not into geocaching) spent the day fishing at Apollo bay. Having done part 1 earlier in the day, and then a few others around Lorne I saved this one for the journey back to where we were holidaying at Apollo bay.

Like a few others, I parked and headed off into the bush at the back of the car park along a rather faint trail. After a while, I decided this was not the intended approach - I had a 1:25K topographic map of the area and was tempted to go cross country up the hill (as I subsequently found someone else had done) but am rather glad I didn't - I wouldn't have wanted to come upon the geographic feature at GZ in an unexpected manner .

After backtracking, I located the proper path near the entrance to the carpark and, after a fairly strenuous walk, found myself at the very scenic GZ and was able to overcome my acrophobia and grab the cache .

TNLN

Thanks again BigglesBear - but I was sure glad to get back to base after a pretty tiring day of driving and walking in this truly wonderful area along the Great Ocean Road [|)].

Found by sbalogh53 at 18:25 on 11/3/2006.
We have been to this area a few times in the past so it was all familiar territory. Seems as though the dragon has evaporated all the surrounding water for there was not a drop falling over the edge of the nearby rocks. Completely dry!
Freed the Lady and made a swap.
Took: Coin
Put: Dice

Juzmac and I continued on our quest, stopping only to take in the views at the nearby falls - although there was very little falling today. Must remember to take better shoes when climbing steep hills! Juzmac liberated the cache from its prison - very happy it wasn't being held captive at the jail opposite! Thanks Biggles Bear for a rewarding double cache.

Whew... What a walk!!! (ahhh just kidding)...

Great views from the area and a lovely day!!!

The lady saved and a cache log book signed it was back to the car for an H20 hit...

TNLN.

Thanks BB

Over twelve months after learning the correct location from the brave knight the amphibian team return in their mission to save the noble lady from Blue Eyes Shining Dragon.

This time the whole team came for the ride. And we are traveling in style using the Swedish froggo-mobile. The lady she was saved by the secret spell of a quick run up the hill by Sir Freddo, while the rest of the team distracted the evil sharp toothed hot breathed one by wandering around taking in the views.

We decided to complete this cache before heading back home from Lorne. In retrospect it proberly wasn't the smartest thing to be doing at 10PM. Armed with a few torches we set out on our quest. 10mins later we discovered we were walking up the wrong track, so after a quick search we were on our up to the tower. A quick rest stop at the top and the cache soon turned up.
Wish we could have enjoyed the spectacular view during the day.

Took: Tissues + GCA stickers.
Left: Tazzy Devil tie + bubbles.

This was fun! The whole family enjoyed this quest. Thanks! We swapped some toys and headed for the beach!

Found it at 12.45 hrs. Eilas-too late, the Lady has already been molested by some Australian?. Her tears are pouring down. Nice SAR-walk.
In: Chinese money to restore her virginity.
Out: Badge Peterborough
Thanks
Meryl(from Holland)

We slayed the dragon so we set off to save the Lady Oak..And like a couple before us we managed to take the wrong track but instead of going back we pushed on like stupid warriors and bushbashed our way over the top of the hill.( how hard was that!!) and got to our destination.
After a quick look around the Lady was saved and mission completed.
We stayed for the fantastic views and travelled the easy route out!!
Thanks Biggles Bear for a fun series cache

The Rizzos

Parked at the back of the car park, and thus started on the wrong trail. Half an hour later, we were back at the beginning and found the real track. A great walk up and down and around and about. TNLN, TFTC!

With the princess's instructions in hand. the good Sir Mark and Lady Diane and Joleen galloped back into the setting sun as fast as their noble steeds would carry them. The steed was tethered so no as to attract the attention of the reptilian rascal. With haste, the noble three battled steep climbs, overhanging branches, fading light and the ever present threat of the Dragon. Upon reaching the princess's balcony she refused to be saved by a night with such dishevelled appearance. It took all of Lady Diane and Joleen's powers to prevent Sir Mark from hurling her into the nearby ravine. Needless to say the princess still requires saving.
Took Keyring
Left Paperclips
Thanks Biggles Bear

This is a good spot. Walked in as the co-ordinates said, and found the cache at this very scenic location quite easily. I came back 2 days later and did the walk down from "Sounds of Silence". I can thoroughly recommend doing this cache this way, and there are a couple of nice side trails as well. Thanks Biggles Bear.

What a nice walk, but we had some trouble locating this one. Firstly an error in entering the co-ordinates had us searching under a structure very similar to the hint.

Then after realising the mistake, we approached to find some muggles firmly ensconced at GZ. As they weren't inclined to move on, we just had to outwait them. So, after a really long rest and a photo opportunity we finally had our chance . . .

The fair lady would have been sad to leave, so we left her with some scented tissues to dry her tears, and a couple of stickers to bestow on the next willing rescuer.

Found at 2.10pm on a wet and windy day,
A lovely walk as usual here,

Parked the steed and took off in such haste to rescue the fair lady, up the wrong side of the hill. Didn't notice the well worn pathway until I ran out of track and eventually had to come back and begin again. Nice walk anyway. Lovely to sit listening to the gurgling stream as I wrote the log. Co-incidentally staying at Fairhaven in Sheoak crescent.

Thanks for the adventure....Lex.

Sir Muzza the Gentleman, braved the elements and the snares of the foe, to find and save the fair damsel. Upon reaching the damsel, he offered his hand and heart to the fine lady, but no, the b!@$# wanted to wait for Prince Charming instead, so Sir Muzza left empty handed in disgust.

Sir Muzza thanks those that led him in his sacred quest.

These were a fun pair of caches. Took a great ocean pin, left a colourful marble and a Peterborough (Ontario, Canada) patch in return. Very nice spot -- didn't see any slithering creatures, despite the warning sign about Tiger snakes.

Later in the day we encountered a biker gang -- about 8000 cyclists who had taken over the town we'd planned on staying in.. so we had to skip on through to the next town (which they'd decimated the night before)!

Cheers from Canada!

Found by Sir David with the vital support and encouragement of the good Lady Mary at 1935. Armed with the secret location of the Lady Oak's prison, retrieved earlier this day from the Dragon's lair, we mounted our trusty steed, GeoCalais, and rode towards the prison. Soon, the road ended at a shady clearing and GeoCalais could take us no further. With the Lady Mary remaining to tend Geocalais' needs, Sir David proceeded on foot towards the prison in the fading evening light. The way was often narrow and in places guarded by foreign-looking thorny bushes, but the goal was near and Lady Oak was released from her prison. Strangely, however, she was too afraid to attempt the return journey (perhaps she had been brainwashed by that evil Biggles Bear, or perhaps she knew that the nearby town, through which we needed to pass, had been invaded by the dreaded 'schoolies'?) and could not be persuaded to leave. She did bestow a pack of cards on Sir David, however, and agreed to accept some nail polish, post-it notes and a karma card in return. Lady Oak also entrusted TB Gumby to our safekeeping. She remains there, awaiting the visit of another knight, to see if they are able to lead her to freedom. Our thanks to Biggles Bear for making this quest so satisfying, and for granting us the boon of our 1500th cache.

Dropped of Gumby to keep Lady Oak company whilst she awaits here gallant rescuer.
