Breaking In - Final Destination Mount Gravatt, Queensland, Australia
By Dioptre and Crew 153 on 24-Mar-06. Waypoint GCV2XN

Tftc and thanks for the series. It would have been nice if earlier caches were in better condition and challenging but it was a enjoyable wander over Toohey Forest.

Getting a bit hot, but thankfully the walk was not too far! TFTC.

Out caching today with Ardom, collecting a few south side oldies and getting some fresh air. A great way to start the holidays TFTC.

Today I went for a walk around Mt Gravatt. I started from the bottom carpark and walked anticlockwise half way around then up to the top and back down again. 5km all up and found 7 of 11 caches.The caches in the Breaking In series may not be what they once were but it was still fun to follow the series across from one side of the forest to the other. It took a surprising amount of time to spot this large cache. It was very nicely camouflaged. Thanks Crew 153 for the whole series and this great final cache.

Great series, well done all

TFTC.....prob about 5 metres out

Caching with geo-friends RoddyC, Hatzofff and grannysmith1947 today after a huge day yesterday so it was time to do less kilometres today and finish off this group of caches. Last one and wasn't too hard to find, log signed and cache replaced as found. Another welcome Smilie. TFTC

After our big day yesterday we were looking for a less strenuous day. Not sure that we got it but survived.

Out caching with RoddyC, imbunda and grannysmith1947.

Nice to get a Mystery today. This now completes my 366 days of finding a mystery.

Thank you, Dioptre and Crew 153, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Out with Muggle65 and Brislions today as they were chasing some more mature caches. No problems here. Thank you for the fun

Nice quick find at GZ. We have enjoyed the series today.

Thanks Dioptre and Crew 153 for placing

After the Cito I teamed up with The Green Geckos and Muggle65 to grab a few oldies on the Southside of Brisbane. I needed more for a challenge.
We had a few on our list today. We started with the Breaking In series and then a few others.
I had lots of fun today.
Thanks Dioptre and Crew 153 for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment.
*8118 Finds*

This afternoon, baby Cottontail and I took a walk around the base of Mount Gravatt. Despite my previous walks in the area, I still had a few geocaches to find, as well as finding a new-ish multi-cache that had popped up since my prior visit, [Mount Gravatt Totem Pole](https://coord.info/GC9Y5A0).

We set out on this walk departing from the Gertrude Petty Place car park just before 15:00 hr, and we walked a total distance of 6.1 km across an elevation of 243 m, with a moving time of 1:35 hr, as per my [Strava record](https://www.strava.com/activities/8817240844). There wasn't much wildlife about despite a few signs indicating active koalas, although we did spot a few brush turkeys.

I had found a few of the *Breaking In* geocaches in the series, and so today seemed to be as good as any other day to visit this final destination (although I did find one last geocache as my final final destination for today's hike). It looks like this geocache doesn't get found too much these days (perhaps 1-2 per year), with its last find 10 months ago. After a short search around, I soon spotted the excellent ammo can container, and the cache container and logbook were in good shape. I also dropped a TB that is needing to go to USA, so hoping the next visitor can oblige. Thanks Dioptre and Crew 153 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. It was nice to have found this oldie 03/2006 hidden cache, of which is one of Queensland's 500 oldest yet active geocaches.

I had the coordinates for this, the final of the series, after having found most of the others. A short walk to gz and I quickly found the cache. Great to see this oldie with original log. Tftc

Out and about on a very warm day doing laps of Mt Gravatt Mountain with chamad. I have been working on this series for a while, today was the day to finally visit the Final Destination! A quick find here today, after signing the log we were on the way to the next one.
Thanks Dioptre and Crew 153 for the cache.

Out today for a walk around Mt Gravatt lookout, I guess you can call it a mountain it is bigger than a hill, lol. I was joined with Willis007 and we walked around and up and down and around and up and down. It was hot in the morning part but the cloud cover and breeze in the after lunch part made it a little more enjoyable. The new macadamia gelato at the café added a new spring to the steps and hit the spot, yummm.

We found some really good caches and most were in good condition. There is something special when you find an ammo tin in the wild. In all today I got 14 caches as some I had already been too but went back to again today for the walk around. I really enjoyed the walk and the variety of caches and hides. Thanks to all the CO’s for the placements and series of caches. We signed all logs and replaced as found.

Another older cache for the day and another great little series of caches. There is something about finding older caches and an ammo tin in the wild. All good with this one, nice and dry. We spent a little time reading through the past logs. Thanks so much for this one.

Found with goldielover today after finding all the others some time ago. Needed to get a little help on the co ords as had forgotten the final location.
We needed a little walk and this fitted the bill nicely. We wandered up a little further to check out the view and watch the setting sun. Now to wander slowly back.
All good here with your cache.
TFTC

Had the final for this cache tucked away on a 'Must find' list for a few years now.
Having trekked & tracked the other caches nearby we figured it was high time to convert this to a smilie.

TFTC Crew 153

Visiting Brissy for the day, I picked a few nearby caches that I had on my to do list and targeted them one by one. This one was the first. I started this series in 2016 and did not think it would take me this long to come back for the final. Five years later I pulled the car up and began my wander towards GZ. After a short search I found what I came for. Great to finally finish this one up, TFTC Crew153

As we were in the area, we decided to pop in and collect this cache! Thanks for the hide!

Find #22,000
With Brisbane in lockdown I was happy that I had saved a cache close to home for a day like this.
Parked at the bottom of the hill and went for my morning exercise along the track.
Very few others on the tracks this morning.
Made my way to GZ and soon made the find.
Another milestone in isolation.

Thank you Crew153

Over many months we have really enjoyed this series. It has taken us a while to get through them all, and finally today we have managed to come for a walk to this one. We parked at the nearest roadway and took a steep and short walk up to GZ.
It was lovely to find such a big container well hidden in the bush and beautifully stocked with goodies. We took none of them but I hope that a future finder might enjoy some bits and pieces there. As we signed the log, it began to rain so we made a quick trip back to the car.
Thanks Crew153. Lots of fun and. FP added here

Thanks for the cache and series. We've been sitting on the final coordinates for years. Was great to finally be here for a find. All in good condition. Now onto the next cache I've had final coordinates for for years..
Cheers

Found with Wayn0

At the start of the day we set ourselves two challenges to complete. The first was to be home early to enjoy a wine and watch the football (Mrs Woodyrothwell wasn’t onboard with the footy but did not have any problem with the wine). The second challenge was to “really” enjoy the wine as we were scraping the bottom of the barrel with quaffers.

The real challenge was to finish of a finely aged challenge and we only needed one more find to qualify. We looked around to see if there was one on the way home and decided that we could handle a quick hill assault, finish the challenge and then get on the slops to celebrate.

Only a few steps up the path another couple were walking downhill and seemed very excited in telling us there was a long way to go to the top. Why do we all seem to rejoice in each other’s misery. How did they know we only had the wine scraps left in the fridge and weren’t climbing to the top of mountain?

It was exciting to finally find the cache and finish off something we had been working at for some time. It was even better we didn’t have to keep climbing up the path. We finally arrived home to celebrate finishing the challenge but it dawned on us that we really only had shit wine in the fridge. It’s still easy to have a party and celebrate with shit wine. tftc

This has been such a great series. After one failed attempt far too late in the afternoon and another where we followed an accidentally dropped pin across some intense terrain, we finally made it to GZ in daylight and found what is by far the best treasure trove of cache items so far - including a trackable! Take things to swap as there's bound to be something worth claiming. Thanks so much Dioptre and Crew 153 for maintaining this series.

We had fun spotting all the animal boxes in the trees. Great series

Thanks for. the series. WillPunkey, Scoob and I had fun. Took TB and left another

I know this cache is called Final Destination but the whole time we were walking there I had 'The Final Countdown' singing in my head... and out loud for a bit too (sorry, Eskies5! lol). A nice finale to the series we enjoyed finding today. Thanks for the series and cache, Dioptre and Crew 153!

Getting toward the end of the day it was time to make the call to head home as we were still facing a 90min drive...simply couldn't leave this series unfinished so we headed here. A quiet walk down and straighforward find. After returning everything as we found it the track above was seemingly swarming with people. Left Travel-pathtag-bug. Thanks for the fun, Crew 153.

Out for the day with nikid1. We had found the bugs last week so headed to the final today. Lucky I'm with Nic today as she's doing all the finding, I'm just along for the chat!
TFTC & the series Dioptre & Crew 153

After having found the previous cache last week KerriMG and I headed here today. Somehow we missed the cache on the first look, found when we had a proper look. Thanks for the series Dioptre and Crew 153

On the southside finishing off another series from over a decade ago, and I wanted to finally finish this series too. I have never actually targeted this series. I've just grabbed them as opportunity arose. 2012 - 2019 is pretty good going for a four-part series. But today it was definitively a destination, and meant to be my final one for this trip (I had time and so hit one more, but that wasn't planned).

I came at this from the correct direction and in a flash was at GZ with cache-in-hand. A great final spot, worth the journey to get here.

Thanks Dioptre and Crew 153 for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #6635}*

Our third and last 'Breaking In' for the day and will definitely have to come back to do the others in the future. Nice hide here and a quick find for us today.
TFTC Dioptre and Crew 153
Found March 4, 2019

TFTC Dioptre and Crew 153. We got the coords from the previous 'caches', we couldn't resist to break in the final destination. There was a tb in this cache.

Found 4 March 2019 12:06 pm
Find # 3338

Tuesday 11 Dec. 2018 @ 11:34, #5,938.
A nice December morning was spent riding Merida around the Toohey and My Gravatt trails, getting exercise and collecting smilies along the way.

Having found all the prerequisite caches but misplaced the needed info, I contacted the CO a little while ago, who kindly helped.

Decided this track was a little too steep to ride, so I saddled up shank's pony instead. Wasn't too much of a walk before approaching GZ, and finding a very well concealed cache. Plenty of swaps here, took 1 TB out and popped another TB in.

Thanks for the experience **Crew 153**

I was so looking forward to completing this series today but number three caught me out. With no sign of it after 20 minutes of searching I gave the co a call for a clue on it's location but it had been far to long between visits to recall and so I think he gave pity on me and gave up the where abouts to the final. Appreciate it Max.
So in with the final coords and off to GZ. I do like this little mountain so it was great to come back again. I dropped in a TB I found earlier and signed in. It's always nice to see these containers out in the wild.
Thanx again crew, all is good with this cache.

I am happy to finally finish this one. It has taken a year or two.

I happened on a log for a cache from the last finder, that said they had left A THING that I needed to finish this cache. Last time I looked for this one I didnt have A THING, in fact I had NO THING at all. Sadly this one was put on the backburner until I saw that log. So after completing that cache, I have now come back her with THE THING, and set about getting here. Oh dear...I haven't saved the coords of where I need THE THING. I asked a PAF just in case, but was happy to make ot ok with memory. I felt kinda naughty being back here! The THING works - woooo. Now what else to do with THE THING????

So off to GZ and soon enough a cache in hand ! Woohoo. Thanks for a lot of fun Crew153!

I was planning to do this whole series yesterday but a failure to collect necessary information meant I had to come back today. I parked nearby and took a short stroll to GZ where the cache was found quickly. It's always nice to find this kind of containers.

I was planning to drop off a TB but I left it in the car.

TFTC Crew 153

BUG CACHE FOUND: I bought my special TOTT on the weekend so I could go find some cheating killer Bugs after work today. I had a harder time trying to find how to get to it. Ended up going via the dead centre. Geez some of the grass along the track is as tall as me, yuck. Found cache easily as there was not even any camo on it. Wrote down what I need for Final Destination. Signed log added treasure, all dry in this cache. FINAL DESTINATION FOUND :Onto Final Destination next... Drove close to the lower end of Mt Gravatt and walked up. I let some dog walkers go before me so they would not see me enter GZ. Found the right place, I loove ammo tins they are my fave, I can fill them to the brim with treasure. signed the log, all good and dry with this cache and eatmorchikin has done a maintenance run on this as well. TFTC Crew 153

The Geofamily and I headed straight to this after finding the previous one in the series. We had a set of coordinates to follow that we found in that previous cache. I let youngest Geoson use the Garmin and the cache was pretty close to GZ. Geowife swapped a trinket for another trinket while I signed the log. Cache and contents in good condition. The family enjoyed coming out caching with me which was great as I usually find most by myself. I might be getting them hooked
I enjoyed doing this series and a favourite point is going on this cache for the series.
TFTC Crew 153

Here the fun begins.
As we had no coordinates to the final assault or final destination, we were following our noses.
I am not very well acquainted with this area living on the north side, I get lost very easily even in the early days of the Logan meetings I used to get lost on the way.
We finally found the street we needed and a park.
Headed up the track and apparently we went too far.
Ah well, I climb so many mountains, I just naturally head for the top.
Back tracked and soon was looking for our final destination.
Geopartner saw something suspicious and the rest is history.
Final coordinates noted. Thanks to our PAF for getting us here
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Crew 153 and Dioptre All good with this cache
A favourite from me for the series

Our today with Nadine1989 to do the Breaking In Series of Mysteries. We had worked our way through the other three and had the final coordinates for this one. Quickly worked out on Google Maps where it would be and parked nearby and began the walk upwards towards GZ. My, how a 33 degree heat with such humidity draws out the perspiration!

I spotted the hiding post rather quickly while Nadine1989 was searching a good few meters away. Resting on a conveniently nearby log as a seat, we opened the glorious Ammo Tin and signed the logbook, which was in great condition, going all the way back to its inception in 2006! Fantastic!

Thanks, Crew153 for an enjoyable series of mystery caches completed without the necessity to jump through stupid mind games or brain numbing trivia to complete. Well done!

Found at 11.30am on 19th February 2016. TFTC.

This was the last cache for the day because it was too hot and humid. Geocaching in the wintertime in Australia is much nicer!

This was the second time that RoddyC was asking me were the cache is and although I thought that I am already at GZ I trusted my phone. Of course my instinct was correct so that in the end RoddyC found the cache while I was still following my gps signal...

Amazing that a logbook of 10 years of age can be still in such a good condition! Loved it!

After getting what we needed from the last cache, it was on to this one.

Parked up and set off. Seems every cache I've done today has been up hill. Arrive at GZ and Barb realises she has been here before.

Log signed, cache replaced. Great series. I wish I had done it when it was first published.

TFTC and a FP from me.

So we had made it. We'd found the detonator, the vault, some killer bugs and had now reached our final destination. The walk to the cache was quite lovely, I don't know how you found this area, it's so carefully tucked away in the middle of suburbia. Barbb, FastEd and I signed the log - great series Crew153 - a fave point for you and the effort you have gone to

Tough mother Monday. Beautiful day for a walk.Tftc

Found with the tough mothers!

Out caching with misssusan, Lisylou, Jemillalucy and Remsjw. Yay! We found the final. Dropped in TB. TFTC!

Found with mnance, misssusan, remsjw and jemillalucy today. Nice easy find, glad to finish off another series. Tftc

Out with Tough Mothers breaking bad. Broke into the others, finished the final.

Having found the previous cache in the series yesterday, today I headed to this one, the final! We were lucky enough to find a parking spot at the head of the trail. We then strolled along the trail until our phones said that it was time to leave it. Our phones were putting us in different spots, neither of which were fruitful. My goebuddy expanded the search in one direction, while I expanded it in the other. After a while, I heard my geobuddy call out that she had found the cache. I signed the log and rehid the cache before heading back to the car.

Out with the kids getting some fresh air and checking on some nearby caches, so decided to add this one to our list. All is good with this cache. Dropped off a TB whilst there.

After revisiting Bug Kills a Cheat with what I thought was the appropriate tool (there's a app for that) I was still unsure of one digit, so with help from Carlo$, I was able to dash out tonight after work to make a quick find with excellent co-ordinates... I got pleasure from reading the log... tftc... and an excellent series... left some American coin and Randywilds Travellers Kiss and Kiwi Danyon to continue on...

This travel bug just did want to leAve. Didn't update last log

TFTC the terrain of our approaches to the caches in this series has been tough. The clue to Bugs not heeded nearly ment another trip but caching with a phone has advantages. Avoided the maintenance crew on the approach to the final destination with a quick trip to the top. Hardest part was closing the vault door. Thanks

After a long wait I've found my goal

I decided to pick up this, the final breaking in, on my way home from the event in the gardens. The Co had given me the final co-eds some months ago when I discovered one of the series had been burnt to a cinder.
A quick find. Thanks Crew153 for the series involving walks in different areas of bushland.

Wow! We did it! Thanks for the help with coordinates guys. Dragged M@gic M@n & The Power Couple along. Great to have all the family along for our 100th cache! We also chose this cache to launch our new calling card. Thanks again . Have just checked the photo & there's 9 of us but someone dipped out of the photo!

Awesome little series, was great fun ...have left a trackable for the next person

It's a bit hard to work out where this one is because the previous one us not available. We thought we'd go and look at the sights anyway. Haven't been here in about 35 years!

Great series. I really enjoyed this series and this cache.

Oh look I actually found a cache today! Well, I did find a couple but Nurseyjulie and Matthewbarram are exceptionally good at zeroing in on GZ

This series has been on my radar for a while but the time never seemed right. After completing the Mimosa series, I had a reasonable idea of what to expect. And doing this with geo-buddies made it more interesting.

The adventure isn't quite over yet. I suggested we go up (just one more) hill to log the nearby traditionals and so on we stumbled... and on and on... and at some point after a couple of cheeky waves from a passing police car (yeah you can ride in comfort), we found ourselves at the top of Mt Gravatt. How the heck did that happen? The walk makes it easier to justify the fish 'n' chips and pear cider tonight tho

Terrific short puzzle series here!!!

TFTC Dioptre and Crew 153 A lot of fun was had here today!

Another series finished! A short climb up the hill and across a little to the GZ. In the end we seemed to climb the Mt Gravatt - even if there were lots of hills - I did it! TFT series Crew153

out on a play date with IolantheK
tin man and i were dropped off at the local train station nice and early and made our way south to Park Road
now safely strapped into his seatbelt off we go to
stopped off and had a yummy lunch with T-Tech
tin man does like to socialize
now back to caching ...

we were in the area and i knew it was nearby but did not have the required info with me
luckiily IolantheK did
down ... around ... up ....around ... down
love this series Crew153
be back soon with FastEd

took snake
left green ribbon

Woohoo! #600
What fun we had doing this series. This last one was a bit of a challenge. We mistakenly thought someone's 'doodlings' in the log book was also a hint and we worked with that for a while but came up blank. After a nudge in the right direction (thanks to the CO) we soon had it cracked.
We took a punt on which way to approach GZ. Turned out to be a good choice as it was an easy walk to GZ.
We are so pleased to complete the series and have this one as a milestone cache.
Thanks Crew153.

Here I am at the final, without evening remembering there was a final, I had still managed to find myself some coords in a fashion at the last one.

So I find a park and start my wander (HILL CLIMB) into this one. I soon needed to leave the track and head for a little towards a certain target. The cache was found the series was enjoyed and then onwards and upwards for more caching enjoyment.

TFTC

After extracting the co-ordinates from this one from a cache earlier in the day I was determined to finish off the series. The hardest part of completing this one was finding a road that would give me access to where I needed to be. After a couple of faulty choices I soon located what i wanted and headed off into GZ. Saw another group of walkers along the way but was able to duck off the track without attracting their attention. A quick find and able to sign the last logbook in the series. Thanks for a great series. I used to live around the area many years ago but had never explored any of the areas I visited completing this series so that was an added bonus.

A sunny Saturday to be out and about looking for geocaches.
A long time ago I started this series with IolantheK
But we need to go home to solve the last one.
Today I was in the area. A quick walk. A quick find.
A fav point for the series.
Thanks for the cache.

After finding Bugs very recently, I spent a little while on it to no avail. There were numbers in the back of the physical log, but decoding those led me nowhere. I would have to say that going way back in the logs for this one proved helpful. I now understand PJATPAC's cryptic opening because I'm sure I did exactly the same thing! My thumb was a little too big, but I managed to work around it and was happy with the figures I found in my possession...
After a frustrating weekend with no caches, I decided to take the long way to work this morning, and fortunately I found the closest car park and was there in no time - I didn't even change my shoes and luckily there was no great need for that. Coords were fine and ammo tin was safe and sound!
Always nice to complete a series, so thanks for the challenge, Crew! Must be time for the Mimosas next...

Well, didn't this turn into quite an adventure! Firstly I was lucky obtaining the coordinates... I did something I often do with these types of clues, then later on I realised that I magically already had what I need . Sweet . I had a little trouble with one or two little bits but the CO was kind enough to help me out in getting that right.

I couldn't wait to finish the series so I headed off a little earlier than my normal lunch for a walk. I found a good place to park the car & set off. It wasn't long before I was near GZ and spotted the likely hide. There was a baby finch (I think) nearby that was learning to fly or had fallen out if it's nest. Mr & Mrs Finch were letting me know there was something going on so I took a wide berth...

I decided to try to find a nearby traditional while I was here and then loop back to the car.... Not quite! I climbed up quite a hill & has to turn around & head back to Klumpp Rd! Never mind, I'm using these lunch time walks to exercise anyway...

So it took a little longer than I anticipated, but the series is complete. Thanks for putting it together Dioptre and for keeping it going Crew153

I had been stuck with the location for this one for a while. A not so sutble hint got me back on track. I revisited the previous cache and soon had the info I needed

I needed to fill an empty box in my finds calendar today, so this seemed like a good choice for find #3300.

I parked near GZ and headed off. It was already very hot and not even 9am. Luckily the walk is not to long

I signed the log in invisible ink ;-P

Thanks for keeping the series going Crew153

Yay! What an adventure. Parked at the top & walked down - pausing to log on the way back up. Puff.
Great series - my first final in a set. TFTC

T-Tech and I went out after he finished work this afternoon to pick up a couple of puzzles I had solved And this one has been a long time in the making

I'd got the first two in the series way back in December with T-Tech when on a bike ride with teamdfl. Yesterday I picked up the third when out with Brother Colin, but the clues in that cache didn't seem to reveal anything. Then we had a bright idea and my brain kicked into overtime as I tried to come up with the answer. However, there were other caches to get, and I let the thoughts simmer. Last night a little bit of research gave me the answer to the clue, but I didn't know what to do with it. More thinking happened, then I remember some things I had seen yesterday, and another idea crashed into my head: what if that was...? then that could...! ohhh, I think I've got it! But how to prove it?!?!? An email was sent to the CO and he confirmed my suspicions, then gave me what I needed to finish the job. This afternoon T-Tech and I had a pleasant wander in the almost-dark to GZ, and the cache was a quick find. TFTC, Crew 153. Very glad to finish off the series, and a favourite point from me.

Out and about after work collecting a couple of puzzle caches in the area that IolantheK had solved.
This way the last one for today. Nice easy find after grabbing some traditional caches in the area Toohey Hill [^] Now home for some food
TFTC Crew 153

well it was dry (ish) today so i had another attempt. found it quickly this time, after realising i had made a co-ord input error into my GPS. cache is in good condition and DRY after all this rain. TNLN. signed log. TFTC.

we had been sitting on what we thought were the co-ords for a few weeks now, but due to all the rain we had not been able to get out and do this one. but this arvo we saw a break in the clouds and thought, lets try. we arrived between showers and scouted around, only to slip and slide around on all the wet undergrowth. then we realised we were being attacked by a swarm of mozzies that were acting like they hadn't eaten in a week. it was also quite dark, and with all the trees and clouds we doubted our GPS location.After finding nothing but a probable cold , we bailed out. will try again in good weather (whenever that may occur?).

Worth the trip to the lookout

Finished penultimate cache a couple of days ago. Tried to find this one then but totally on the wrong track. Found the solution using unconventional caching methods. Returned to reconfirm the co-ords but didnt have the right tools. Worked it out anyway. Quick walk to cache and easy find in the end. cache in great order and lovely treasure inside. Thanks for the series.

Almost 30 months ago as a relatively new cacher I found the first in this series and after a good long time to arm the detonator, break into the vault and kill some bugs today I finally got the chance to grab the final. After working nearby I drove up to the suggested parking co-ords near the water tower and it was a simple walk to the cache from there. No trickery this time. A great series and it was a good feeling to open the final of this top series. Well thought out and a good bit of fun. TFTC.

Slowly working through the series and today we got around to attempting the final. After a short walk, we headed off to GZ. Had to check the hint but the cache was soon found after that. A fun series. Thanks Crew 153

How we found the co-ords of this cache was truly amazing. How to word it without giving it away... it was a group effort and they became apparent in very unusual circumstances.

With the puzzle solved some time ago, Lokipagan and I made our way to GZ. We found the cache after a small hunt and it was in great condition. This was an excellent series - challenging and enjoyable. TFTC Crew 153 and Dioptre

Well, it has been a while between break ins for me... WHen I looked back at when I did the last one to get the final coords, I noticed it was just over two years ago...

Since then, I had managed to lose the critical info and had to sweet talk Crew153 into providing me the clues and info I had lost. He's a good guy and soon enough, I was armed and ready to go again... Cheers... [^]

So now I am temparily unemployed (only a couple of weeks), I thought it was appropriate to slip into some old habits and conduct a final break in... I knew a prime spot to target and where to park the get away car... Shrouded in trees, I needed no camo, no balaclava, no black face paint. Just me, the GPS, a pen and essential Gunnie stickers... I arrived a the scene of the crime in record time, snared the container and... Broke in...

I got exactly what I wanted from my haul, that would be a sticker in the log book... But, I also gained an additional bonus... A coin had been left for me to knock off... So, that's what I did...

Thanks for a great series. I am glad to have finally secured the final cache. Hope no-one was watching... I was a little uncomfortable being a felon...

Cheers Crew153.

Finally finished this series. Pretty easy find for last cache. Really enjoyable series. Took coin and left coin

Initially parked in the wrong spot but once we realised where we were it was an easy find. Well hidden & great condition. This is the first lot of caches we've found and can't wait to find more! Thanks for the series. Lots of fun!

[3.35pm 5/05/10 - Finally got to finish this series with rhesusfactor today. Worked out the co-ords from Bugs finally and so here we are. Found easily and signed logbook. Took Frog TB to move along. Many thanks for the Series, has been quite interesting and a real team effort to "Break In" to the caches along the way. TFTC and a lovely walk out even though it was uphill. Left Pathtag. ] Feel like dancing at a blue light disco now!

100 CACHES!

Hay any chance of a hint for this one - booking my recidivists tomorrow and am keen to try to complete this one before i leave

Thanks
Beau

Having some trouble trying to decode this clue (never have tried to decode one before) and wondering if I can get some help with this one. Moving to Tas in a few weeks and would really like to complete this before I go

Thanks
Beau

What an excelent series. Felt happy and loss at the same time when we got to the final cache.
Wau.... the decoder is so hard to find in real life. We noted a toy that might help but was not sure if it works.
We later turn to the all-ultimate problem-solver... Internet.
A well assemble series. It really bring the feeling of treasure hunting and great fund cracking the puzzle box. We even recommended this series to a German geocacher we met on that day.
Wish there is more of such cache in Brisbane area.

Well done. And a million thanks for this A+++ series.

Breaking In - Final Destination was transferred from Dioptre to user Crew 153

Well it took a while (Bugs Kill a cheat was found some 12 months or so ago) to crack the secret code, but suddenly the other day I thought - I wonder? It proved to be so, and today was the first opportunity to reach the final destination.
Retrieved a small yellow car, and left behind a small red people mover.
All in all a very innovative series. Thanks for the effort and the brain bending it provided.

I finished off this very interesting series today. TFTC!

Excellent series!
I am so glad I managed to work out this final stage without the assistance of the Original Publisher.

This series has inspired the Hitmen (us) to create our own series, and I allready have the kids working on ideas for clues!

Once again, excellent work - TFTC!

Dropped off Geocoin -> Best of luck on your trip little fella!

First arrived at this location on the 14th after finding the third clue...the co-ordinates put us in the middle of the carpark, so obviously the brilliant deduction was wrong. Tried another couple of deductions that also failed so it was back home, and unfortunately back to work the next day. Geomum put us on the right track for decoding the clue and after finding the necessary decoder it was back to the third cache this afternoon to check the clue again, with all 4 geokids in tow this time. After that an easy find not far from where our first unsuccesful attempt took us. Really pleased we worked it out without having to ask for a hint.
This was a great series, well thought out and well worth the effort. Thanks a lot and do some more of the same.

I needed a push in the right direction (thanks dioptre) to determine the sort of aid I was going to need to determine the final co-ordinates. However that was the easy part. Needless to say I didn't have the necessary equipment and although I know a few places that might have it, they weren't open. So what did I do. I am not going to tell you.

Anyway, thanks very a very challenging series. I really enjoyed it. TFTC

Armed with solution to 'Bugs Kill a Cheat' we headed off, yesterday afternoon, to the Final Destination only to be betten by the light......So we returned today parking spot already sorted and a rough direction in mind. Had cache in hand within 10mins, at 5:04pm, a nice easy cache to finish off a great series.
FTF - in 2008!!!

In - Shell
Out - Heart shaped picture Frame.

Maybe now that we conquered the bugs I will be able to get a good nights sleep.

Thanks Crew 153 and Dioptre for a great series.

#1 of 12 finds on my first day in Brisbane, cleaning up ones I have started previously. I found this one at 1425. This was the first of the 'unfinished business' caches on today's list. I stumbled at the last hurdle during my last visit, but Dioptre was kind enough to advise me where I had gone wrong. With the final coordinates in hand (at last) I made my way to GZ for an easy find. Coords were spot on. [^] I started this series way back in March 2006, when I shared the FTF honours on the first one with The Garner Family. It's been a long time coming, but it feels good to finish the series off. I passed a few coins through the cache so they get credit for the kilometres travelled, but otherwise made no exchange. Thanks to Dioptre and Crew 153 for the cache. Cheers, dak.

found it after a nice stroll took spinning top left toe ring
