Russell's teapot Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

oz_bean_counter: I have been back to GZ with an appropriate replacement, but sadly the area has changed yet again and a like-for-like replacement cache container is no longer suitable. As a themed puzzle cache, throwing out a bison tube replacement doesn't excite me :(.

Opening this area up for a new cache - thanks everyone who has solved and found Russell's teapot!

Geocache Description:


Russell's teapot is an analogy, formulated by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making unfalsifiable claims, rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others.

Russell  wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.

Your mission is to prove Russell wrong. There IS a teapot. It doesn't orbit the Sun between Earth and Mars, but can be found somewhere in North Brisbane. All you need to do to find Russell's teapot is solve a short, simple puzzle. Good luck!
