Geocache Description:

The fourth and perhaps most challenging of our cipher caches so far. This treasure hunt covers multiple vignettes of our home suburb over around 2km and uses multiple ciphers.

Epping is home to a number of small parks, including sports fields, playgrounds and native bushland. At the listing coordinates you will see an orange sign; this is the first keyword. Parking is easiest off Downing St.

First clue: CVBL MLM WD IYI XKYGH OXXML QM HVP CLQTGY CB EWV PAIOHDZAVW AP IOGTA TSGM YSGPGMI

Second clue: GJAR ANOIAD OM RSX ANP FSRRSI SZ RJU IOPPDU HSG SZ RJU XWVVDU ON RJU XDAQEHSWNP ON PWNHSMMOD XAHY. HUBUHMU NULR

Third clue: QSEQGWIWPFVVUFEIJUOIGATJCFXZUPWKGOIEGWIWTVOWJUUFU

The cache contains a range of goodies including a FTF pathtag.

Note: Inside the lid of the cache you will also find a clue to the final cache in the series, Cipher SEVEN. Similar clues will be placed in the other five Cipher caches. If you have already found one of the first three Cipher caches prior to 1 May 2011 you can email me and I'll give you the clue from that cache.
