Green Green Grass Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoMonkeyAU: Dear Geocachers,

With heartfelt regret, I believe that the time has come to retire some of my caches around Sydney Olympic Park to make way for new project(s) which are TBA at a later date.

Green Green Grass, Phishing and Newington Armory AL Bonus Cache have been collected and archived due to the difficulty of maintaining, with people logging a find without signing the log (or even visiting as a whole!) and ranting. It’s so annoying to deal with and delete the nonsensical and downright stupid OAR and RAR logs, even after a clear explanation. I have provided more details in my log for each individual cache just below this section.

However, I am slightly disappointed that I once moved Phishing and Green Green Grass when I was not required to, only for that cache to be later moved itself. I’m almost positive if you have been sitting at home and wondering where they got their names from. Well, they come from their original spots, which the new spots no longer resemble. I’m sorry to everyone out there who didn’t get to enjoy the caches at their original spots, but I’m sure it would have been more enjoyable, favourite point worthy material. I’ve attached solutions to each puzzle below too and some Behind The Scenes content I can only now give you now that this is archived.

As for Who’s Lara and Jim’s Tree Climbing Adventure, I have decided to let them stay for a little bit longer dur to time constraints today. I heard that they have some issues anyway, so they will be taken down soon by me, not anyone else who reads this log thinking they will do an initiative.

I’m so regretful to have to archive some of my best work. I hope cachers will come to enjoy my new caches when they come out. I hope those that completed every stage of my caches (solved the puzzle and made the find) truly enjoyed them, and especially those who gave Favourite Points! I have given you a public shoutout below to thank you for your kindness.

Thank you for taking the time to read my log.

Kind Regards,
GeoMonkeyAU

ISSUES
Log was torn in half and the bison’s o ring was missing, and a repeat offender has not signed the log!!! Tearing a wet log in half is unacceptable, as it prevents the CO from checking the validity of previous online logs.

SOLUTION
The background image on the geocaching website is a stereogram, revealing coordinates.

Behind the Scenes
I originally placed the cache at -33.820916, 151.062821 (Google Maps Coords), where it was a GREEN TREE surrounded by Green Grass, and there is a song I like called Green Green Grass, so I made the puzzle based on that.

Geocache Description:


Welcome To...
Green Green Grass
Well, she moves like lightning and she counts to three
Then she turns out all the lights
And says she's coming for me
Now put your hands up, this is a heist
And there's no one in here living
Gonna make it out alive
Loaded up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover, undercover, undercover
She said, green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
We go together, Adam and Eve
But the girl is so much more than just another apple thief
Yeah, she's a genius (genius), watch and learn
How she sets the world on fire
Just to watch the sucker burn
Loaded up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover, undercover, undercover
She said, green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Throw a party (hey), throw a party, yeah
Throw a party (woo), on the day that I die
Throw a party (hey), throw a party, babe
Throw a party, on the day that I die
Loaded up when the sun comes down
Getaway car for two young lovers
Me and the girl straight out of town
Over the hills and undercover, undercover, undercover
She said, green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
Green, green grass, blue, blue sky
You better throw a party on the day that I die
