Logs for Cybergran V 

A pretty little dell where the cache was found by a fun guy, icybeetas, out on the ground, but was tucked back where it should have been after the logbook was inked with our acronym VIIPERS for Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia who would have loved to have seen this spot).Obviously worth a favourite point, thanks Mellymush for bringing us here to this delightful spot which we would not have seen were it not for geocaching. 

Found by icybeetas and SciFiRulz and logged as VIIPERS, a crew of 1 Tasmanian and 7 Victorians, en route to SciFiRulz event nearby.What a fantastic view from here, thanks endeavour3 for enticing us to the island with the promise of wonderful views and great caching.And with scenery like this you were not exaggerating.A favourite point for the fabulous view here. 

Thanks endeavour3 for publishing this Earthcache, viewed initially from the Anson Bay Area where SciFiRulz was holding her event, and even better from a short distance away, looking back across the marvellous scenery.Thankyou also for approving our answers to the questions.We didnt study geologogy when this octogenarian went to school, so I relied heavily on the answers of the more knowledgeable (and younger) members of our team of VIIPERS, the escapees from Victoria and Tasmania currently invading your island.Looking forward to more exploration via geocaching during the next week.A favourite point for the experience, the knowledge gained, and the amazing view. 

Thanks endeavour 3 for the first find on the second day on the island.Found and logged by the VIIPERS comprising 7 Victorians and a Tasmanian here for a week: 5 teams icybeetas, Riddell, SciFiRulz, Ronice88, weirdobiker and Cybergran V.A nice start to our busy day.And our first lesson in the torrid historical history of this now beautiful island.A favourite point from me for our first trad on the island. 

Thankyou again endeavour3 for showing us marvellous scenery via this mystery cache.One of the many mystery caches solved in the months prior to our arrival, in anticipation of this trip, during our Codecrackers weekly Zoom meetings.Logged as VIIPERS after attending SciFiRulz event at Anson Bay.Another favourite point for the puzzle and the scenery. 

Great hint making this an easier find than was expected, thanks culture50 for placing it here for the amusement of the VIIPERS who left nothing behind but their acronym on the log ~ Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia who would not have been able to get here with the broken bone in her leg).A favourite point for giving a good indication in what could have been much more difficult to find. 

Lovely old structure.Now I cant get the tune Underneath the Arches out of my brain!It doesnt look at all like something from a penal colony.Thanks for bringing us here to see it, via geocaching, and giving us the chance to explore it while inking the logbook with our VIIPERS acronym.Gratefully awarding you with another favourite point from Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in absentia) 

Found by other members of our Viipers team whilst I was busily taking a photo of the million dollar view, to send home to the other half of the Riddell team, Sylvia, at home with a broken bone Thanks for bringing the rest of here via this easily located cache: Val, Ian, Icy, Pam,Evelyn and Ronice.A favourite point for the view. 

I love little libraries and this one was no exception, a bit larger than expected, and very well stocked.SciFiRulz made the discovery of the cleverly concealed books.We didnt take home any books from the library for who has time to read books on a geocaching adventure.Signed as Viipers comprising Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn and Ronice, and Sylvia in absentia.Definitely worth a favourite point thanks endeavour3 

This was a truly amazing effort to reintroduce this rarest bird on the planet from the brink of extinction.Thankyou endeavour3 for honouring this achievement by placing the cache here for our VIIPERS acronym to be inked upon its logbook.Awarding you with another favourite point from Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in absentia), for all you do to promote the history, geography, flora and fauna of this lovely island, via geocaching. 

Thank you endeavour3 for showcasing the beautiful Botanic Gardens via the Adventure Labs.We had our lunch there and enjoyed the scenery and the serenity.It was great looking down into the Discovery Centre and seeing the lovely stained glass displayed below.Maybe next time we will venture down and explore it but today is cache time!Certainly earned another favourite point for this series.Thanks from the Viipers: Val, Ian Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice, and Sylvia in absentia. 

Years ago I used to buy the weekly puzzle books Thats Life and Take 5, and loved doing this type of puzzle, then I discovered geocaching and havent had time to do any that dont give me answers to coordinates for caches!But it has come in handy when needed to solve this one.Thanks endeavour3 for the puzzle and the cache which SciFiRulz fished out with the use of one of my handy Nordic Hiking poles, whilst I was busy admiring the view and taking photos.A favourite point for the memory, the puzzle, the view and the logbook newly inscribed with VIIPERS ink ~ Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in who would much rather be here than home solving puzzles for our next adventure) 

What an amazingly successful breeding program to bring them back from the brink of extinction.So far I havent been fortunate enough to spot one of them but have seen several very brightly coloured parrots in the area.Thanks endeavour3 for bringing this lovely creature to the attention of the VIIPERS, who are just here sign the log.No parrot was harmed in the location of this easily located cache.Thanking you with another favourite point from Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in absentia) 

One of the first things I noticed when we went into the first shop in Norfolk Island was the magnificent flamboyant hibiscus flowering there.Ive never seen one that brilliantly coloured and unusual.Since then Ive seen many more around the island, so many different colours and varieties.They were even used as table decorations at the second home on our Progressive Dinner.They remind me very much of my mum who loved to grow them in her garden.Thanks endeavour3 for the cache, inked by VIIPERS - Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in absentia).Another favourite point for the colour and vibrancy, fun and friendship 

It is wonderful that so much of the island is cared for and respected, like this National Park.Flying into the island, everywhere looked so green from above.It is such a delightful place to visit.Thanks endeavour3 for bringing the Viipers to yet another beauty spot.And a favourite point for the view, and easy find.From Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice, (and Sylvia in absentia). 

endeavour3 congratulations on the placement of your caches preventing careless destruction of flora on this island.It must been an incredible job to regenerate areas of this lovely island after the amount of timber which must have been cut and milled here to construct all the buildings over the years.It is delightful to sit on the verandah of our accommodation at Whispering Pines and admire the magnificent vista of tall stately trees across the valley.Thankyou for all you and all the Norfolkians do to help regenerate and beautify your lovely island for future generations, and folk like us geocaching VIIPERS.Gratefully awarding you with another favourite point from Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in absentia) 

Every early building we have been in here, since our arrival, has had lovely local pine flooring. How much more would have been used in constructing the rest of the building, and making the furniture for it!Today we saw a local timber mill with lots of logs of local pine but nowhere on the island have I seen signs of logging.I can only assume that it is selective, and hope that for every one cut they have to replant ten.It was beautiful to hear on the Orientation Tour that if an islander lives to be 100 years old, that 100 local pine trees are planted in their honour.Thanks endeavour3 with another favourite point for placing and maintaining this cache to have VIIPERS ink on its logbook, from Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in absentia) 

An amazingly majestically tall piece of vegetation, straight out of Jurassic Park!Thanks for highlighting it via this cache placement endeavour3.We had to send a runner (well more like an ambler), to add the VIIPERS acronym ink to this log, due to the parking restrictions along here.Thanking you with another favourite point from Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia in absentia) 

Thank you richlink for placing this cache here, which was found in the company of the Viipers, a visiting group of five teams from VIC and Tassie.Thanks endeavour3 for maintaining it to keep it in this wonderful game we enjoy.Viipers team comprising Val, Ian, Icy, Pam,Evelyn, Ronice and Sylvia in absentia.A favourite point for the fun and friendship 

Im loving exploring this island with my amazing geocaching family.SciFiRulz and icybeetas both said at the same time if I was placing a cache over there is where I would put it, and, sure enough, there it was.Thanks endeavour3 for putting it in that spot, making it an easy find for our Viipers team comprising Val, Ian, Icy, Pam,Evelyn, Ronice and Sylvia in absentia.Another favourite point for the fun and friendship 

A lovely day to be out exploring on our second day on the island.This one tricked me at first, expecting to be caching in style here ??Wishing Sylvia was here with us Viipers.Thanks for bringing the rest of here via this easily located cache: Val, Ian, Icy, Pam,Evelyn and Ronice. 

Happy wedding anniversary Evelyn and Neill, may you have many more happy and healthy ones together.Only next time I hope Neill is able to share it with you, instead of being back home in Corowa working, whilst we are enjoying events such as this one, good weather, and amazing scenery.So lovely to be on this lovely island with you Evelyn, Pam, Ronice, the two Ians, in the company of local geocaching guru Duncan.Thanks for hosting the event Evelyn. 

What a delightful chapel, thankyou olthomas for placing a cache here to entice us to explore the interior, after finding the cache nearby.Log signed as VIIPERS for Val (Cybergran V) Ian (Riddell) Ian (icybeetas) Pam (weirdobiker) Evelyn (SciFiRulz) Ronice88 and Sylvia (the other half of the Riddell team who we would have been with us had she been well enough).A favourite point from me for this lovely chapel, and for endeavour3 for maintaining the cache. 

My arithmetic had us initially looking in the wrong spot.A mathematical confusion that could be interpreted two ways.Of course I chose the wrong one.Luckily I am in a group of VIIPERS more mathematically inclined who came up with the correct coordinates, and our acronym was able to eventually be added to the log ~ Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia who would have loved to have seen these too).Thanks Norfokker for bringing us here to see these magnificent Triffids.A favourite point for the majesty of them. 

Wonderful SciFiRulz, who is more worldly wise in the ways of Wherigos than I, was able to lead us through this, and, it turned out to be much easier than I expected.Thanks endeavour3 for placing Norfolk Islands first Wherigo and consequently adding yet another cache type we can claim here, to the islands impressive repertoire.That must be worth a favourite point from the VIIPERS ~ Val, Ian, Icy, Pam, Evelyn, Ronice (and Sylvia who wishes she was here with us) 

Thanks Riddell for hosting this event, our first on the island after our arrival tonight.Enjoyed a pleasant night, having a delicious evening meal at the Bowling Club, where we drank a toast to the other half of your team, Sylvia, who should have been here with us tonight, and is sadly missed, sitting at home, nursing her broken bone .It was great that endeavour3 could join us and welcome us all to his geocaching heaven of an island. 

Thanks endeavour3 for this beaut virtual.Loved the sculpture of the Bounty, although we had to view it by torchlight.Fortunately Riddells little torch was very powerful.It was a perfect night for our arrival on your delightful island and we are all looking forward to exploring it via geocaches.Im especially pleased to be able to log this cache for my first souvenir overseas.Our party of eight met at the Bowling Club for an enjoyable tea, did this Virtual, and continued on for Riddells Arrival Event.Looking forward to having an event every day we are here. 

Logged Write Note when signed with dalerious on 23rd September 2019I have always loved finding caches with favourite points. Whilst travelling, if you are time limited, we always just chose the cache with the most favourite points, and that way we generally found the very best caches.Thanks for placing this challenge cache.I found the sum of 10515 FP on 3 caches and I needed 10000 of FPgccodeFPVisitdateNameGC8NEAT63622021-02-13Lets improve the outdoors - Locationless CacheGC8FR0G35772021-04-03Find Signal the Frog - Locationless in 2020GC3E5762018-03-30Lane Cove 

Looking very much forward to attending this one 

Looking forward to catching up with you again, this time on your home territory. Thanks for hosting this event for us. 

Thanks SciFiRulz for putting the replacement cache back into position for me 

Yes it has gone missing again, will be replaced very shortly 

Found by SciFiRulz after our electronic devices both pointed us in the other side of the path. Thanks for placing it here The Blind Side.As usual your puzzles are a mine of useful historical information.Thanks for recognising this local sportsmans talent via this cache. 

On a trip to Ky on a maintenance run, and took advantage of finding this cache whilst in the area.Thanks for the puzzle and for placing the cache here The Blind Side 

Checked on this today, still in its new position, thanks Midaho 

Checked with the owner of the property today, the cache is still there, a bit fragile, but he wants the cache to remain at the edge of his garden, although he does have a neighbour who is protective of the home owner, so I am enabling the cache again. 

Disabling the cache until I can check on it following a complaint from a finder 

Thank you for bringing me here to visit these nice sculptures.Another place I would never have noticed, or visited, were it not for geocaching and earthcaches.Happy world Earthcache day! 

Thanks micaparamedic for this interesting earth cache which was included in the Great Victorian Cache Crawl. 

Cache had been replaced with a new log, thanks dalerious and catnap777 prior to the last finder having found it. 

This cache has been renewed 

Thanks icybeetas for hosting the event, I thoroughly enjoyed it.The meal was excellent and the company wonderful. 

Found this morning on our way to the CITO at Wodonga.Thanks for placing this cache here to bring our attention to this devastating occurrence.The log book is very damp. 

Thanks weirdobiker for hosting this event and the lovely jam drop biscuits as our reward.It was exactly what I needed - a day out with the bonus of a new souvenir!The weather gods smiled upon us making it perfect weather for what was required. Great to see so many bags full of rubbish collected.Paul was a wonderful help, repairing my pick up gadget and giving me a very handy tip on my home insurance problem.Thanks very much to dalerious and catnap777 for bringing me here to attend. 

What a convoluted puzzle that one was.Having had it in the solved pile for some time yesterday was the first time I was in the area to have my name added to the logbook.Travelling back from the CITO in Wodonga, via Yackandandah and Beechworth, with dalerious and catnap777, on a lovely sunny day, but with a chilly breeze.A favourite point for the treasure which still glitters in the sunlight when opened, and has been returned to its hiding place, nothing taken but a memory, and a very appreciated 4.5/2 D/T, thanks Jamin Appleford. 

The second of this series found this morning with dalerious and catnap777 after attending the CITO in Wodonga.Having solved these puzzles some years ago, finding some and running out of time to complete them, it was great to come back today to add more happy faces to our maps.Thanks for keeping them active enabling us to find them so many years after youd placed them. 

These were very tricky puzzles to solve, and this was the last in the series I needed to complete it, other than the Enigma, which will require a return visit one day in the future.So pleased that dalerious and catnap777 brought me here, after the CITO this morning, to finally convert those blue question marks, to happy faces on my map.dalerious did a wonderful job of driving on these interesting roads, whilst catnap competently navigated, and the weather, although threatening to rain, held off.Thanks for the puzzles, the caches, and the adventure.We will return when weve solved the Nutty Enigma. 

After attending the CITO in Wodonga this morning, dalerious and catnap777 said they had a surprise for me ~ Bringing me here to find the last three of these caches required to complete the series Id begun a few years ago.Finishing my tasty pie bought in Yackandandah so dalerious and catnap located the cache, whilst a rain few drops threatened to spoil our fun.Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment. 

On the way from the CITO at Wodonga this morning, to Beechworth, via Yackandandah, this cache made a perfect park and grab by catnap777 and dalerious, to add our names to the log.Thanks for placing a nice easy one, and the chance to stretch the legs, before our long journey home. 

Since Im giving you a bed for the night Id better come and have tea with you
