Geocache Description:

This is a Puzzle. The cache may most likely not be located at the posted coordinates.


All the information required to locate the physical cache is included in this page. It's about having fun and looking into your minds eye.

Where better to start than at a complex structure like a fence which at one time enclosed the complex process of educating young minds.

Is it provided to keep people out or in? Is it there to show where private and public lands meet?

The answer to those and many more questions are often like the trees behind the fence blowing in the wind.

Within the page that you are presented with, you will find the location of a Nano cache container.

The housing estate that is next to this park was built sometime after 1984. The Council Arial Photo of 1984 shows the Caringbah Infants School Buildings. With the drop in population due to children growing up and moving out of home, Government assets were sold and the funds obtained were used to build new schools in the growing areas. The Infants Department was relocated to the Primary School a couple of blocks down the road. With many of the new subdivisions developed within the Council area, it was expected that a portion of the grounds / land would be provided as public space. This park would have been created to provide the public space for the new complex of dwellings as required.

Well done Team MavEtJu. I understand that you solved the puzzle and were the FTF.

The use of spoilers:

The introduction of Social media to showcase caching activities is now starting to expand and I can see that over a period of time, more people will get involved and showcase their activities through this medium.

I believe that it takes away the experience that Geocaching offers. Tat for every person undertaking a cache hunt, it should be like they are the first to discover it. It is as much about the journey of finding the cache (working out the puzzle, thinking about where a cache might be hidden etc) as it is about finding the cache and racking up the numbers. Geocaching can take you to some beautiful and completely unexpected places. If someone has seen it on a Social media site, then the experience will no longer be a new experience.

It has been the reason why many people who have hidden caches check their logs regularly and remove spoiler images or logs. Geocaching is a controlled environment where the ownership and presentation is in the hands of the cache owner. The use of social media takes the ownership away from the cache owner and places it in the control of those working to discover the cache and present a story on an external medium. Once it has been presented on Social media, there is nothing a cache owner can do to remove it.

Geocaching is a game that everyone plays in their own way. The way Geocaching is set up means that every time a person finds a cache it is a new experience for them because they find it themselves and comment on their experience as a new finder, hopefully without a spoiler. After viewing a few spoiler reports on Social media and having to take action to remove spoiler activity presented in logs through Geocaching lately, I am requesting that this cache is not used for a Social media presentation. Please respect my request.
