Geocache Description:


ADVANCED WARNING (20 May 2025):

Commencing in April 2026, we will start to archive many of our caches as the maintenance load is becoming a major concern as our capacity to make regular visits to our caches declines. The date has been chosen so that, apart from unforeseen circumstances, all of our caches will be available to those visiting Tasmania for the Tassie Event in early March 2026. We are giving advanced notice so that all have the opportunity to look for any of our caches that they haven't found before they are archived. This is one of the caches we plan to archive.

This cache is one of two puzzles in the seventh stage of an ongoing structured program to introduce inexperienced cachers to solving mystery or puzzle caches. Each of the puzzles is designed to reinforce the ideas explored in the previous session. The full rationale for creating the "Starting Puzzle Solving" series can be found in the preamble to

  • GC8JDKY Starting Puzzle Solving 01A
  • GC8JDM0 Starting Puzzle Solving 01B

Experienced cachers should find these puzzles quite straightforward and are most welcome to solve them and find the caches - they are not restricted to those participating in the program.
