Geocache Description:


The Wahroonga Cliff Lookout is a pleasant spot to sit and enjoy a view over a valley of trees, with birds (and planes) flying through the air. There are cliffs a few metres from the cache, so I don't recommend visiting at night or after rain. Please BYO Pen.

NOTE: this was originally an in-field puzzle but is now just a traditional as this is a pleasant spot to visit; the puzzle box was not robust enough and was being damaged with each find. I managed to get the pieces back together but now can't open it (sigh) and have decided not to replace it. 

In a world of natural things,
A puzzle box sits, waiting to bring
A challenge to those who dare to try
To unlock the secret it holds inside.

For plastic though it may be, this box holds
A deeper meaning than can be foretold,
For that which seems to take forever,
In life, nothing worthwhile comes without endeavour.

 

  • There is a sequence of steps that need to be followed to gain access to the log, a combination of moving the sliders and panels
  • The respective sliders on each side of the box need to be moved in tandem
  • This is not suitable for Jedi mind tricks - (the) Force will not help
  • There is a red dot on the lid
  • Please ensure that you sign the log - merely finding the container is not enough as gaining access to the log is part of the challenge / fun
  • Please ensure you return the container to its original state once you've finished, by reversing the steps you used to open it
  • Please, no throwing the container over the cliff in frustration
