Time to retire this one.

For those interested all the codes are red herrings as follows. Open the geocheck and the cords are openly listed. I entered 100+ wrong answers to make it appear difficult and without a logical solution finders may not have opened the checker.

. Binary converted = south one
. Alphanumeric (numbers converted to alphabet place) then converted Kenny code = nine, you already knew right
. Roman numerals = 12
. 1000 lockers = 31
. dialing codes = 2

ROT = Halfway. Maybe this should only be a difficulty four
White text - NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG.
. socks paragraph = 11
Dvorak keybpard = you thought you had it didnt you? but that should have been 146 not 11
Bacon cipher = a r e y o u c o n f u s e d
morse code = can you find what youre looking for here
. All the faith ?
. telephone = vanity code = ruclosetogivingupyet
Atbash = REALLYY YOU TRIED THEM ALL, youll need to look elsewhere

DCCCXXIII - DXXI - CCXC

There is a school with 1,000 students and 1,000 lockers. On the first day of term the headteacher asks the first student to go along and open every single locker, he asks the second to go to every second locker and close it, the third to go to every third locker and close it if it is open or open it if it is closed, the fourth to go to the fourth locker and so on. The process is completed with the thousandth student. How many lockers are open at the end?

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG.

You are getting dressed in the dark and realise that you forgot to bind all your socks together into pairs. However you know there are exactly 10 pairs of white socks and 10 pairs of black socks in your draw. All the socks are exactly the same except for their colour. How many socks do you need to take with you to ensure you have at least a pair that match?

Once the Geo-check turns green park at the end of Hillock Crescent (Western side) or Lionel Turner Drive (Eastern side) where the trail begins, or if your vehicle is of the 4WD variety follow the dirt track up the hill towards the top to make this a park and grab.

When you arrive at GZ you are looking for a 20cm x 9cm black PVC container with a log book, pencil and swaps.

This cache is one of several that make up the Bushland Beach Hillock Trail (BBHT) which compliments the Bushland Beach Walk (BBW) and the Bushland Beach Goicoechea Circuit (BBGC)

This 3.5km circuit combines wide bush trails and paved walkways and should take most geocachers around an hour plus searching time to complete.

Bushland Beach is part of the Northern Beaches area. One of the fastest-growing suburbs in Townsville, Queensland. Fishing, swimming and water activities are popular and at low tide you can walk to an old wooden shipwreck. The beach is well serviced by a small shopping complex, a pub, playgrounds, skatepark, barbecue facilities and a boat ramp. The ridge running along Goicoechea Drive is popular for exercise and provides stunning 360 degree views from Cape Cleveland to the Palm Island Group and inland towards Mt Stuart.

Congratulations to Gemini1&2 for being the FTF.
