Have previously logged this as a virtual but thought I would take the kids in today to look for the 'real deal!' Unfortunately fairyland link appears to be no longer active so the puzzle isn't available.

This is a fantastic cache. Loved it. Interesting that the first log in the book has comments wondering how long it will last. As such it's one of Tassie's older caches and as perfect as ever. Well done forthferalz it's like a well-kept secret (that I've taken way too long to discover). Took beads, left peanut erasr. thanks so much it's a beauty.

Have just completed the necessary groundwork, and looking forward to going finding the actual cache next time I'm in Devonport during business hours. So well put together - the puzzle has definitely stood the test of time! Thanks forthferalz.  

31st

I took some time out from moving house recently to solve the puzzle and today we headed off, coordinates in hand, to retrieve the cache. A very well put together cache that really impressed me!

Having solved the puzzles a few weeks ago we finally deemed it time to visit fairy land and retreive the cache. Even though I knew what to expect I still thought it was very clever.
Took army paratrooper, left strawberry eraser.

Spent a wet winter's day on this one. Had trouble with a couple of the links. Had to go down the Google trail. What a great idea!!

It's a cold, windy , wintery night tonight.
Forecast for snow to the 500m mark on the Mountain.
Absolutely perfect night for a virtual cache.
Luckily I wasn't out searching for a physical cache, as I took a couple of wrong turns including the capitals.

Next time I'm up north I'll try and physically log this cache.

Found by Bob at 1705

Well, I just happened to have a bit of a browse of the Tasmanian forums this afternoon and came across a thread discussing the best Tasmanian caches. After a bit of reading, I came across a link to this one and decided to check it out. I quickly got hooked and managed to solve it virtually - although I've never been to Tassie, and there's probably not much chance I'll get to do the physical cache (but I'll save the co-ords and, if I'm ever lucky enough to get nearby, I'll take the opportunity to check it out).

Thanks forthferalz - a nice bit of work on this one

What a great idea and fun. Very new to geo caching and often wonder where we are heading, so a great buzz happened when the page suddenly flashed congratulations. Logging this as a virtual cache,only for a few days. Thank you for the time and inspiration in putting together this promise of gold.

Logging as a virtual. Did this one a while ago but didn't realize I could log it here - silly me. Thoroughly enjoyed solving the puzzle and revisiting some much love childhood friends. I will sign the real log next time I give the library card a workout!

Another puzzle cache where Mr red tag used his grey matter to work it out and I used a tank of fuel to log it.

Thanks forthferalz.

 

7th

Logging as a virtual but will find the actual cache when we are in the area! Great concept and really well done. Thanks

Just missed out on 3rd birthday. I must have had a deprived childhood as I had never come accross any of the writers refered too. I was A.A. Milne, W.E. Johns, Adam Lindsay Gordon, etc. Throughly enjoyed the search. TNLNSL TFTC

So very clever and so much fun. This would have to be one of my favourite caches. Made a keepsake book mark. Thank you

What a fantastic cache! Solving the puzzle and finding the hidden page was a buzz, as was finding the physical cache. A great way to finish a day's work on the NW coast.

I took a book mark home for Gee-oh. He says, "Thanks for the bookmark. I really love it, and will put a picture of me on the back."

Quick check - all good. Dropped Parents of Sam geocoin inside

Great idea!
Couldnt find the cache at first so had to approach the locals who were a little bemused!
Must make a note to myself "Try and learn the alphabet!"

Found 200705081240 . Despite the advice that the natives were friendly, I made a stealthy approach and an easy find . What a novel idea for a cache

IN: Generic GeoCoin (logged into Devonport TB Hotel for tracking purposes even though I DNFed that one )

Cheers ForthFeralz

 

26th

Dropped the geocoins elsewhere as the cache has been a little unloved lately. External cache GC cache enabled. Will reenable this cache 27/3/07  

19th

Have logged a comment in virtual logbook..but will also get over to sign actual log when able to.Again this was another great virtual cache.Loved the visit to Fairyland.Fantastic cache Forthferalz...well done.TFTEC Cheers.
 

23rd

Dropped in a small charm for next finder.  

25th

What better way to test out my newly gotten cache stamperator than on a letterbox! Loved this one...another classic FF cache. Cheers!
 

22nd

Called the cache fairy and she had it put away safely while casting a little magic homing spell on it. It is back in the 'forest' now.  

21st

Meh! I was near the final waypoint today so i popped in. Didnt have a lot of time as I had an apointment up the road. Looked in all the obvious spots but couldnt find the prize! Am I missing something? Should I have asked one of the cache keepers for help? Im logging this as a note, not a DNF as technically I have done enough to 'Find' the cache. I just havent made the tangible find  

12th

Completed the first part...will pop down and get the actual cache ASAP!  

9th

Logging as a virtual (geofourby is off the road). Loved the 'hunt' - great cache thanks feralz
 

13th

Claiming this one as a virtual find as I just didn't have a chance to pick up the final cache before departure.



I have completed a similar cache in Adelaide and it was brilliant!



Have attached my stamp which is an image of my actual stamp as opposed to my avatar.

Thanks

Logging as a virtual. Great idea, we will visit next time we are in the area. Thanks for some school holiday reading to recommend and revisit with Netballer and TTE. Cheers Quilter

I didn’t know what to think of this cache when it was first posted, but after getting in to it was quite enjoyable. The cache and GZ turned out to be one of the most original and interesting caches that the Geokids and I have done. Well done forthferalz.
 

24th

Loved the first part of this one so much, I made this the destination of my quick Cachemas Eve Cache Dash! Female slave logging this metres away from the cache site!!! LOVE THIS ONE!!!! I'm so excited it's hard to keep quiet about it! Luckily, the muggles don't seem to realise what I'm up to. . .Thank you so much for this one, forthferalz!
 

21st

Have done the first part of this one; hope to log the next part of it in the next couple weeks!  

20th

Found this cache in my previous incarnation as a Cheesy Pig.

Am logging this find as a virtual cache from Hobart. I think I did it right. I have ended up with an image of a stamp, which I can email for verification if required. An interesting idea Forthferalz, thank you.
 

19th

An interesting concept, and a nice, peaceful set of clues. One day I may get to physically visit GZ, but for now I am just sending my avatar to be included in the log
Thanks Forthferalz
 

17th

This was a fantastic idea and very enjoyable.

This one ended up being find #200 for us yay!!

Nutted out all the clues pretty easily and then had to wait for an opportunity to finish it off.

But when we had the chance we found it nice and easy.

Thanks Ferals, really enjoyed this one
 

28th

fixed broken link and changed clue to reflect this.

No it doesn't
