Thanks for this one. Started to doubt ourselves if we had it right but found.

Archived

We headed out for the day, sun was going to be shining. Had nothing else planned so a day out caching was in order. Lunch in Port Mac & a swim too. We had a great day out today. We sure do miss geocaching & so glad the weather is getting better for us. Decided to get these puzzles done. We had worked them out awhile ago just needed to go sign off. Got to the location but was still about 12 metres away, by the reading of logs, we needed to go in more. Will try again soon

After GeoHubby finished the Sudoko in record time we were off to find the cache. Quick find, lovely location.

Took: A feather & dragonfly charm
Left: A tree & feather charm

TFTC. TNLNSL. After hunting high we hunted low. Found what we came to find. Left it well hidden again and now have only one cache type to go to finish the August challenge.

Found on our leisurely drive as we make our way towards Murray Bridge from Melbourne for the Mega. Had figured this one out @ home last week & since it was on our way we had to stop, glad we did! Today we head to Mount Gambier and beyond.... TFTC

Have always driven past here and never stopped. Thanks for making us, Beaker. Pretty spot and a fun puzzle. Took flamingo, left smiley badge. We also gathered the clues, before returning to the truck, via a slightly different exit. After reading previous log, I decided to extract the cache, using my trusty walking pole.

Attempted this after visiting the nearby Princess Margaret Rose Cave. I starting looking at the GZ only to have a tiger snake slither out of a gap and plonk himself right where I was sure the cache was!!!!! Waited a while but when he did disappear it was into one of the gaps near the cache. As frustrating as it was the risk just wasn't worth it so I retreated!!

I must have solved this cache many years ago, as I can't remember doing it. Today it showed up on the GPSr screen, so we just had to stop and log a find.

Getting to the cache was fun, and I managed to stay upright all the way down. Thankfully the cache was found before too long, and I was back in the car in no time. It is only logging this back home that I've realised we needed to grab a clue to finish the series. Oh well.

Thanks Beaker.

TFTC Took PT Did not know this awesome location was here.

Found while out caching with mogni and brisal5. We all love a Sudoku Puzzle. TFTC Beaker.

In the Mount for the Goths dinner event and the Geozing Race and of course...caching Out for the afternoon with Aussie M&M and Mogni.

Been doing some BLE caches but it was time to go and get ready for the Goths event. This came up on the way so stopped and grabbed just on darkness. Swapped PTs. Thanks Beaker

Having solved this one back home, we grabbed it today as we were in the region. Ok, this'll be easy we thought as we parked. Huzzah! Its still 12m away! The Moose headed off, ever the intrepid explorer and I waited in safer climes, noting down the clues as they were yelled out. Thanks for bringing us here and showing us the natural formation. Took pathtag and left one of our own.

Found while enjoying a few days down Portland way before everyone heads back to work and school. Today we opted to drive towards Nelson and collected a few caches along the way. Had solved some of these on a previous trip and had intended to collect them all today - alas this was not to occur but we really enjoyed the location of this one.

TFTC

Monday at BLE and after packing up, Dennisc52 and I left the campsite and parked his car. Well, mine was already dusty and dirty and his was still clean

Dennisc52 and I managed to achieve locus cache 25 times before we parted company and took separate routes back to Adelaide.

However I hung around Nelson for a bit longer and so, by the time that I stopped at Millicent for the night, I had gathered up another 19 locus cache smileys (with 1 DNF ), making this a 45 cache day [^]

A nice spot in here and interesting formations

However I was just a tad disconcerted about hunting for the cache where I thought it might be because as I approached there was a distinct slithering sound through the grass

Would a mere snake put me off of a cache find when I was this close[?]

Since I am claiming a smiley... I guess it didn't!

SL. TFTC -Beaker-

Found on way home (Via Adelaide) from Big Little Event. TFTC. there is certainly a geographic puzzle to solve at GZ.

TFTC. SL. Found during my attendance at the BIG Little Event at Nelson Vic. Sorry for brevity. Sent from my Garmin GPS phone.

Found after attending the BLE at Nelson. TFTC.

Found this neat cache with Skullracing on the BLE weekend, we had a blast working out the puzzles on this series.
Many thanks for all the caches that you have hidden, well done Beaker.
TNLNSL.

#3549 We were endeavouring to collect some of the Sudoku's that we managed to solve before heading over to Nelson for the BLE. We thought when we pulled up near GZ that the cache would be in a certain area - however we were still quite a few metres away which wasn't going to turn up a cache where we were standing . So the journey through long grass for Dad & LoMo commenced in earnest and LoMo located the nicely tucked away stash. We collected the clue and continued on in the hope of making a teeny dent in this Sudoku series. Thanks for the puzzle -Beaker-, the cache is surviving well. Cheers [^]

Find #6 for today at 1130 Hrs

Last few hours out & about with Happy Pants before his wife picks him up & they head back to Melbourne. We decided to grab some caches around Nelson whilst attending the Big Little Event...

What a fantastic natural feature... Well worth the trip... Really enjoyed the walk & the views... Thanks to Happy Pants for solving the puzzle...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Signed Log

Thanks to -Beaker- for the cache & bringing me here...

10:04
Hoping to collect some more smilies; on a Sunday run from the Big Little Event with Pprass, Rural Slicker and Squalid. Solving the puzzle was easier than finding the best approach to GZ, which was in itself a geological puzzle.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt -Beaker-.

Only attempted one sudoku puzzle this weekend so I thought I better try and find it as we were passing by. Managed to follow the worn trail through the long grass and quickly came up with the goods. The most rewarding sudoku I've done in a while. Thanks Beaker for the cache.

Got the coords Ok, but it wasn't quite where we thought it was. We took the long way down, and then someone left his GPS behind and had to go back again to get it. Interesting terrain here, TFTC.

Found while at the Big Little Event
Left dragonfly and leaf, butterfly and motorbike
Tftc

1937th cache found by WazzaAndWenches. Log signed at 11:16Hrs.

We're in Nelson for the Big Little Event over the weekend. A half day-trip to Mount Gambier today gave us the chance to find the cache for a few of the local puzzles.

We stopped by GZ yesterday but decided our approach direction was not ideal given the warm weather and the distance to travel through quite long grass. Today we stopped on the other side and were able to walk less than 20m to GZ wherea quick find was made.

Thank you yet again -Beaker-.

First cache to kick start today, we solved these sieries some time ago knowing we were coming here for the BLEvent. Bit cautious of the wriggle sticks as the grass is quite high, eventually located the price, TFTC

I have been waiting for quite a while to be passing this way and get the cache. Thanks to Parallel Sticks for the hint about the way down. TFTC

Still on my way to the Big Little Event in Nelson. Just doing a spot of caching along the highway...

Solved these puzzles when they were released, and never got to find any when down here 5 1/2 years ago!
Today was different! First of all the series to be found this weekend. Went onto find all four and the bonus on the way home on Monday. I love finding the older cache, they tend to be in locations that last.
Once I got to the right side of the abyss, I just followed the geotrail right to the cache. Looks like a herd of elephants been through here! lol
TNLNSL
Thanks

Found with friends J+J.au...Here to attend the "Big Little Event", really enjoying the trip, company and the great locations the caching is showing us. Sorry about the C+P logs, just so many to log... SL..TFTC

Was heading down to the Little BIG Event in Nelson Victoria, picking up caches on the way.

Oh down there. Look there is a geotrail. TFTC.

Suscoe plus two found this terrific challenge today after a delightful walk in.
It was a sunny and cool morning.
Thanks to Beaker for a great challenge and an equally good location for GZ.

Found on our trip to the Little Big Event with Firesafe always like an easy Sudoku

Yesterday I had parked at the side of the road and peered down into the Sudoko underworld [:o]
There seemed no easy way to descend into the abyss.
This cache would not get away !!

Bright and early this morning I was on the pushbike headed west toward the borderlands.
I could travel a bit slower along the roadside and get a much better view of where I was hoping to head
With the bike out of sight of the passing traffic, I walked down the trail I had found and arrived at GZ
A short search of a few rocks found me the cache
There was time for some exploration after that .....

I solved the sudoku in case we came by this way and fully expected it to be cache and dash. However I was not prepared for the GPSR to be pointing into space so thanks to the log by littlemerpip for encouraging us to continue down the bank. Lovely location with the limestone cliffs. TFTC.

We really enjoy these areas & have been meaning to stop here ever since we noticed it in January & what do you know caching brought us here.
Well that's our second in the series so only 2 more to go
TFTC

My second Sudoku, I did like the puzzels. TFTC.

Our second Sudoku cache found today, great location.
TNLN SL TFTC

The second sudoku I visited today, this one looked like a real drive by but when I got to the edge and still had 10m to go, what, down there! Found a way down and found the cache after a short search, thanks to Beakers Bunch for an easy sudoku and a great location for GZ.

first find on a big day caching with GoShaz...finding the cache was easy....the puzzles...??? i got a long way to go to 'get the hang of these'..! ....thanks GoShaz for the help...think i will stick with 'those pesky nannos' ..!!! thanks Beaker....lovely area at GZ....cheers..! cabbos

Number 1 on my big caching day out with Cabbos. I worked out the puzzle quite a while ago and finally getting around to finding the cache. Once at the site it was an easy find. Thanks Beaker, I am looking forward to finding the next ones in the series.

Down this way today and happy to mark this one off, took a little to decide to check where the GPS was telling me to go, but sure enough there it was, lovely rocks and shapes in this area, TFTC, TNLN.

Found with whitey84 on our sudoku night caching TFTC TNLN

Found with jess_jase on puzzle night is fun in the dark TFTC

Solved this series at home before venturing down this way [8]. Interesting how GE has this on the other side of the road .
After trying all the hard places , we eventually lowered ourselves to the easy level of the cache .
Took fish. Left spinning top. SL.
Thanks Beaker's Bunch.

Our little Geobub didn't give us quite long enough before she had enough of the scenery, we will be back to scramble and search more thoroughly another day.

The geowife had worked this one out a few months bck and today we were driving by so we had to stop, and yes the cache was found. Thanks Beakers Bunch. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Yahoo tftc got the goods we were after.

Found with ease today while out and about with The RHyan Clan and The Wild Gang.
TFTC tnlnsl

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we found it and had lots of fun doing it TFTC TNLNSL

This one was easy.
TN left geo-ceramics personal signature.

Hmmmm, had just been at Sudoku #4, so was expecting this to be a cinch, but not so lucky! looked around and up and around and no luck! Was a bit worried about snakes!

Was hoping to snag my first SA cache today,oh well ,next visit!

nice hide, took us a while to find a way to get in
TFTC

Easy Peezy. Except the part where you have to walk past something that has died. I was going first so I knew it was no me.

Clear skies from TeamAstro.

In the words of a certain roo:
"That was easy"

Cheers

great spot for the cache TNLNSL

We had solved all 4 in the series but only managed to get this one on our trip.
Nice spot here though.

[This entry was edited by McAdies on Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 4:27:08 AM.]

With all the puzzles completed (Mr O is a sudoku nut), this is the first one in the series that we've found. With a bit of luck the others won't be too long waiting for a find! Nice spot, this one. Very wet after a solid day's rain, but the cache was dry as a bone. TFTC.

Thought that a Saturday Arvo drive would be a good idea, why not use the brain and do some puzzles while driving. Found this one easily.

2009-04-21 21:00
Found after expanding the search a little. Grabbed more info for bonus cache.
Thanks Beaker's Bunch

Found on The 2009 Adrian Mc & Swampy Caching Adelaide And Beyond Tour
Find # 68

Found on the Adrian Mc + Swampy 'Caching from Hobart to Adelaide & Beyond' tour.

Our first SA cache find for the trip. Not the first in this series as we found genius first and then did this easy one.
I found this one more difficult at night than the genius cache as I went straight to the cache from up top. It is a rather steep slope in the dark!

TFTC

We found our 1st Beakers Bunch cache at 2:45pm as the 14th of 20 on our South West / South East Tour - Day 4. To continue the run of now 7 Victorian geocachers in a row to find this cache over the last year and a half. Our first SA geocache of this trip. I must admit that when I pulled up at GZ, I thought that it was going to be a mere magnetic on the Armorguard railing and was a bit disappointed. Then, when we got closer we were pointed towards the wonderful feature which I had not seen as we passed. Beautiful. I scrambled around for a while but Mrs "H" came up with the goods. Thanks for the cache from D, H & A B-A.

Ah, nothing like a Sudoku challenge when you're on holiday!
Had solved the puzzle the day before and with the weather not conducive to beach swimming a day of exploring and caching was on the cards.
We drove past this intriguing geographical feature and I elected to keep the kids in the car whilst I went hunting. I was very gratified to uncover the first of the 4 Sudoku caches at 10:30.

T: Animal snap,
L: $2 coin.

Duly wrote down the bonus clue and went back to reassure the team that I hadn't ruined their holiday by falling down a bottomless pit.

Many thanks to Beaker's Bunch.

My first interstate Cache!
Solved the puzzle quite a while ago, stopped off to find, while enroute to "The Mount".

Took the kids to look at the nearby sinkhole, lots of wasps looking very angry, so we kept our exploration to one side of the over hang.
Now there's only 4 left to find, not too sure how to get to No 3 in a 2WD though.

This puzzle was solved long ago and today I was nearby enough to finally make the find. Thanks Beakers Bunch.

Both the sudoku and the cache proved to be easy. Found on a lovely sunny day. Thanks to Beakers Bunch for another in the series.

Robmc sorted out all these Soduku caches before we left but it turns out this was the only one we had time to get to.
After all the rain this was where we began to get rather wet today walking through the wet grass.
Thanks

I used night shift to solve all the puzzles, just in case we got to them. This was the only one we got to this trip - we will be back!
Just over the border and already we are in sinkhole land.
Thanks, Robmc.

I worked out all the Sudoke puzzles (except the last one) but unfortunately I did not have time to take on the lot. Nice challenge anyway. Found this one on our second attempt.
T wrist strap
L fancy pen
(Thanks Beaker's Bunch for every thing)

Another collapsed cave in the Limestone coast area that would normally be driven past at speed. Thanks for giving me a reason to stop.

Picked up clue for the bonus cache.

Visiting from Tassie. Love Sudoku puzzles and especially one that culminates in an interesting area for a cache.

Thanks Beakers Bunch.

Once you look in the right spot and have light this one isn't hard at all. Thanks Beaker

Found this one, now to do number 3,
Quick find.

TFTHSL

Cheers[^]

Had the puzzle for this one worked out for months thanks to Miss Biggo, but had never got to this area to pick it up. A relatively quick find, quickly grabbed the clue to the bonus and hightailed outta there!
TFTC Beaker,
Biggo

Great spot that is often passed at high speed. TNLN TFTC

Found at 14:45. Worked out the puzzle last night. Luckily a quick find.

Found 12:15. 7th of 26 FFTD. On the day of hiding cache's for the CCC event. Thankfully Mrs C had worked out the puzzle's before leaving Adelaide, and we just tagged along. Thankfully not a too difficult find. T: Purse Key Ring, L: Flamingo, SL. TFTC.

[This entry was edited by Team Ermalesh on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 at 8:42:07 AM.]

7th of 11 for the day out and about with Team Ermalesh. A quick drive by. TNLN TFTC

So this is the easy one.
Can I go back and do the hard one. Me and this type of hide will always be a challenge.
Spent a long time and there it was all along.

Found by Mary & David at 1250. Now we're over the border, there is more caching time! Another interesting place. TNLN, but took a copy of the bonus information. Our thanks again to Beaker's Bunch.

Third of eight caches on my way home from Mt Gambier ("to Warrnambool" day). I had worked out all four sudokus before this trip, but this one was the only one I got a chance to log. Geez, I hate 'em in rocks! There are usually many places it could be hidden, and unless the coordinates are very accurate, you can a great deal of time looking for the cache. Fortunately, BB's coords were spot on as usual, so I had a relatively quick find at 1120. During the search my legs got covered in grass seeds, and the flies gave me a mauling. I made no exchange at this one. Thanks to Beaker's Bunch for the cache. Cheers, dak.

Have decoded the co-ordinates, but I will have to wait goodness how long to make it to GZ. I will get it one day!!

Stanley 3 solved all the puzzles for us weeks ago before she left home to live in Bangkok to prepare us for this trip. First approached this from the wrong point but after repositioning ourselves we found the cache in the company of many flies.
On to the others.

We got to within 8 metres from cache but we were in the wrong position , we will have to return another time for this cache

Thanks anyway Beaker

We've had the answer to the puzzle for quite awhile now but this was the first opportunity we've had to get here. We've driven past this area many times and haven't taken much notice of this feature, this was an ideal opportunity to do a little exploring
Took croc head
Left Kangaroo keychain
Thanks Beakers Bunch, we hope to do more in the series next time to the area

Finally got back to this one and with the right co-ords in the GPS was a easy find.Rocks were a little slippery due to the constant rain but all in all it was o.k.Ran into some older muggles from Vic on the way out who were interested to chat about sinkholes..Nice couple but it was raining so I had to split!!
Took clues and left nothing..
Thanks Beakers.
2 to go.

Co-ord were pointing into middle of paddock so have left to check my answers correctly..will call it a day after this one..

6.00pm
took us a while to find geo partner thinking im telling her the wrong place too look all the time so i find them first no true just lucky i guess.
tnlnsl tfth.

Easy. Except for the local magpie with the swollen testicles.

nice day for a drive, and this one was found within the usually timeframe, which we like! Half day was planned around starting to locate this series, as just finished the solving the night before.

Took - Tiggy
Left - tiny dinosaur

Thanks for this series, as looking forward too the rest, Beaker

Found 9:50, after sorting out a slight miscalculation, the cache was quickly located.

TNLN, thanks Beaker's Bunch.

Found at 9.50am GAFF5. After a bit of a glitch with the transcribing of a semi important no. we found the cache in a more logical spot. Thanks Beaker's Bunch. tn/ln

quick and easy find today..
no swaps. worked out all the puzzles very easily as well....

After working out the puzzle, we were off to find the first of the series. We hunted high and low for quite some time before we found the cache. I would let you know if it was high or low but that would be telling now wouldn't it.

Took small blue stone and left pack of cards.

I wrote in the log book that I left Mr Moose TB there but unfortunatly took him with me. Could the next person please cross that out for me.

Thanks BB

Have figured out all 3 puzzles easily, now all i need to do is wait until im next down there
