Birds of a Feather Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates a fake! There is no cache there!

Welcome to Team cdmark's 15th cache hide and another type of puzzle cache.

This cache will take you on a pleasant drive through some local bushland near Mooroopna. It can be accessed by 2WD most of the year round but can get more challenging during wetter periods and some sections may only be 4WD (or Team Rubik's Commodore and Team GraMon's Camry) accessible if there has been recent rain. Please take care.

Obviously the above coordinates are not where the cache is hidden. The pictures below will help you to find the final numbers required to complete the coordinates. Carefully study each picture for a clue or a hint, that will give you the actual number you require. Do you need to count the number of items, find a date, a year? Maybe a combination of all of these?

The coordinates will lead you to a location where you will need to find a camouflaged film cannister hidden externally and in plain view. Once found this will guide you to the next waypoint, however, you will only be able to do so after testing your birdwatching skills so you will need to stay alert!

WP2 will have you looking for an appropriately camouflaged container (a bit bigger than a film cannister) that contains the coordinates to the final cache hide which is an ammo container hidden in a typical geocache hide and painted to match the surroundings.

We have checked the coordinates several times during placement but did notice that the GPS was a little flakey when we returned at night giving us an accuracy of between 7-11 metres. Not sure if this is due to tree cover.

The Cache:
The cache container is a medium sized ammo container. Please try and replace the WP's and the cache as found to avoid it being accidentally stumbled upon by non geocachers.

Contents include log book, pen, and swaps if you so desire. Our first TB - A Spikey Enemy is going to start his journey here! There are also some scratchies for the FTF. Good Luck!

As usual take care as there maybe snakes about. Cheers.
