Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Inspired by the Psycho series in the USA but with a more difficult puzzle. This cache will take quite a few hours of exploring. Yes, we were amazed too! Start at the listed coordinates.
Beyond Ultraviolet is at the extreme end of the colour series spectrum in more ways than one. As you progress through it you will understand why. Ultraviolet is a warm up and must be completed before this one to see if you like the terrain and read some instructions needed to complete this cache. Please read the Cautions at the bottom of the description, they are important. Go to the initial coordinates and explore the system aiming to complete this symbol.
When you have collected the parts of the solution you can convert the image below into a sequence of numbers.
This sequence of numbers can be converted to text describing the cache location when the cipher key is found, which is the lid of Ultraviolet.
This will most likely need to be solved underground unless you want a repeat visit.
Along your way you will also need to find and remember a code number to access the final cache which is a locked small container.
Cautions:
This is a physically EXTREME style cache.
Please attempt this with at least one other person.
Let someone know where you are going, the start location and make sure they know when you are due out.
Allow for at least 2 hours caching and take drinking water, it's hot work.
Take spare lights, sturdy footwear with good grip and gloves.
In times of heavy rain this cache will be extremely difficult and potentially hazardous as it will be slippery.
In the winter months you can guarantee getting very wet, if not worse.
Be careful of litter,broken glass, syringes etc. WE didn't see any but you might.
Please be aware you will come across huge flying insects, large spiders of various sorts and potentially rats and lost poisonous snakes.
You may come across other humans. We think they are probably friendly.

I went for a walk in here last night and noticed symbols I had never seen before. I have documented them and darksidelemm and I will have fun with this one.

We have also wanted to do Ultraviolet but it has been inaccessible.

To those who saw the bike on the ledge, that was me!
In March 2009 A friend and I went there and I found the bike not far in from the entrance. I rode the bike further which was very hard since it had flat tyres. Once we got to the first room I put it up on the ledge to see how long it would last knowing big rains will be coming in April or May.

I have uploaded a pic of it with this log.

I did notice the bike washed out wedged against the rocks which I thought was quite funny, I took a video of this as well

I was riding past the entrance to the system with my sister and decided to take a look at the entrance,
With the rain, there was a lot of water pouring out,
and that bike that was stuck inside, it has been blasted out now,
just further proof why you don't do this one in the rain

Two penguins, a dragon, a wibble and a unicyclist walk into a bar. Well, actually they walk into a storm drain. Then they walk around for a while and find a cache. Hmm, I think I need to polish that story up a bit.

It's a pleasant, warm, autumn day - perfect weather for spending time in the great outdoors. Or at least underneath the great outdoors. We weren't really sure what we were getting ourselves in for, so it was with some trepidation that we set off down the tunnels.

As we journeyed into the depths, we found various wonders. A bicycle parked on a ledge halfway into the cave. Evidence of previous generations of cachers who'd left primitive cave drawings to commemorate their journey. A flock of sightless vampire bats who lay waiting to attack unsuspecting intruders. Well maybe not the bats.

Certain members of the party tried to cheer us up with creative scenarios of how we could all perish in the confied space. But at least these were a refreshing change from the usual Z hazards of falling off a cliff, or that one with the sharpened rotating blades. And four-fun has never set up a cache with a risk of death... although there is Just Hanging...

Glad to say that we all survived intact, though I think we all managed to bang our heads at least once. Afterwards it was off to the Wibbles for a much appreciated caffeine fix!

All up, it took us about 2 hours at a comfortable pace. Thanks to all for a truly memorable cache. I can only echo Stealth's thoughts and say I couldn't think of a nicer group to do it with.

I didn't make any swaps, but saved Mr Wibble the effort of putting some of those Wibble bucks in the cache...

Thanks to Four-fun and Zytheran for the challenge!

P.S. Z, before you panic, we didn't crack the code before finding all the clues (although admittedly we did try with only half the clues :-). It was only the mechanical device securing the cache that we cracked.

If it had been anyone except the dragon (or pehaps a calumphor) who had solved the code before they explored I would be suggesting we make it even harder
Good to see that the pathtag was the real incentive here and as an added bonus that it's gone to a very friendly home.
Since they've asked for it Z, there is rumour of a couple of other systems under adelaide
Cheers all, glad you had some fun.
