Primbee NFCviation Mystery Cache

There is no cache at the published coordinates. I believe this is the Illawarra's first NFC cache.  You will need a smartphone or other device capable of reading NFC tags.  At the published coordinates you will find an NFC tag.  If you tap it with your smartphone or other NFC-capable device it will return a text string with the coordinates for GZ, which is a short pleasant walk (or mountainbike) from the published coordinates.

NFC or Near Field Communication is a standard for devices to communicate via radio signals.  Many recent smartphones now support NFC and it is also possible to communicate with an unpowered NFC chip called a "tag".

When you tap your device against a tag, it can respond with information or instructions for your device to display or carry out. In this case it should display a text string with the GPS coordinates of the cache container. In future I may look at programming the tag with an actual GPS waypoint which might be handled more intelligently by certain devices. For the moment you need to copy and paste the string, or write it down, or enter it into your separate GPS.

I realise that requiring an NFC-reading device will make it difficult for some cachers.  But to my mind it's no different to other caches that require abseiling equipment, a 4WD car or the ability to solve tricky puzzles.  It wouldn't be much of a challenge if they were all trivially easy to find. The good news is, once you have NFC working, this one IS easy to find!

Note: the cache name written on the log file is different to the published name. You are looking for a small black bison tube. Bring your own pen.
