Geocache Description:

If you went to the published coordinates you would be in the middle of the estuary of the Rubicon River at Port Sorell, east of Devonport. The cache is not at this location, so a boat is not required.

The cache is a small cammoed container, with a small logbook only. You will need to bring a biro/pencil. The cache has very easy access requiring only a minimal walk from your car.


There are some caches that are very well hidden and are difficult to find. There are other caches that are either not well hidden or are hidden in such a way that an experienced geocacher will find them very quickly. Then there are those caches which are placed in obvious locations but, for one reason or another, some of us cannot see them and we either spend a great deal of time or we make repeated visits before the cry of "Eureka" and then comments like "Why did I miss that?" or "Why didn't I see that before?" or "I must have been suffering from cache blindness".

We have had so many of those cache blindness experiences that we thought a small number of caches dedicated to the phenomenon would be appropriate.

To find the third and final cache in this short series, you need to break the following code:




The code may be more difficult to solve than for the two previous caches in the series. The cache hide should be a little more challenging than the previous hides, but that really depends on whether or not you are suffering from cache blindness at the time.
