Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above coordinates but they are for a good place to park for another of our caches, "Scribbly".


If you solved this puzzle before 29 June 2014 you need to change the last digits of both the S and E coordinates.

The cache container has been replaced again, this time by a painted pill bottle.

This does not require any guessing as to how to solve it. You just have to look up the dates of the first finds of a number of caches north of the Brisbane River and the names of the first finders.

Below are some caches we think are, for varied reasons, outstanding and worth visiting (though you don't need to visit them to find this cache). They are not in order of merit and are not necessarily all the best as we have tried to include a number of different types. We have also limited the number from one owner. Otherwise there would be hardly any not by Wingaap or K8'n'Co. We are presumptuous enough to include one of our own which, though not often visited, is generally enjoyed by those who try it.

You can still solve this puzzle and find this cache if you follow the links but sadly, since this puzzle was published, many of these favourite caches have been archived so you can't now have the fun of finding them all. Unfortunately also many of the caches are for premium members only so if you are not a premium member you may not be able to find the required information.

FTFd, FTFm and FTFy mean the last digit of the day, month and year in which the cache was first found. FTFn is the number of letters in the name of the person or team who was first to find.
