Geocache Description:

This is a Challenge cache off of the Nine Tree (Terrain) Trail, and as such the cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. The Challenge is to have found the x 9 Difficulty 5 options for each of the x 9 different Terrain ratings within 'your State of Origin'.

The Minutes for this Challenge cache are to be added to S31º 's' E152º 'e':

As a Challenge cache you will need to list in your Found It log entry (unless in a prior Note entry) the NINE (9) caches from 'your state' that qualify you for the 'Specialist' Find here. (Obviously) They are all of the rating of Difficulty 5, and the Terrain ratings required are: T1, T1½, T2, T2½, T3, T3½, T4, T4½, and T5.

Rules
1/ There is just the 'State of Origin' limitation and all D5 caches found within your state are relevant.

2/ In your Found It log (or Note, if getting ready to come and find it), please include your State of Origin. Then, for each of the x 9 qualifying caches: Terrain rating, GC code, Cache Name, Type, Date Found. See my qualifying list below.

3/ If you are the Cache Owner of the ONLY cache of a particular Difficulty and Terrain rating for your State please use that, and state: "OWNED" after the GC code and cache name.
re 3/ a) Alternate ways to show qualifying caches, 4/ 'Wildcard', and 5/ Cache Owner exceptions see the D1 x 9 T State Challenge, GC5D8TN.

"So, you don't have a 'State of Origin' (or subsequently adopted a State), OR, your State doesn't have 'complement' of all nine possible Terrain combinations". Okay, if you otherwise qualify you are still welcome to log a Find for this one, but won't automatically be able to Find the Final State of Origin Challenge cache; but you are on your way to qualifying for the Victorian "Project 81 Master Challenge" cache, GC4T46Q
Your "Country of Origin" is acceptable if visiting from overseas

PLEASE NOTE: If your Difficulty and Terrain grid shows that you haven't found the appropriate Terrain caches your Found it log would be deleted; so PLEASE, rather place a Note.

Below is a statistical representation of the quantity of Difficulty 5 caches that were active in the Australian States in September, 2014. As can be seen a few States don't have a full complement of D5 caches, so any bordering state could be chosen for those missing Terrain combinations. Of course for the COs of the combos where yours is the only cache available, please state the GC code, name of the cache, and "OWNED", and your State of Origin would still be accepted. PLEASE DON'T take these numbers 'as Gospel', as we all know that new caches will be added, and others Archived.
