General Information

If you are looking for a clue file for one of the Odlid caches you have arrived at the right place.

If you have stumbled across this dark corner of the web accidentally do not despair.

What are these clues? They are part of a worldwide game dedicated to GPS (Global Positioning System) users, called Geocaching.

Geocaching is a worldwide outdoor activity for GPS (Global Positioning System) users, their families, and friends. "Caches"(weatherproof containers of goodies) are hidden in exciting locations around the world and their exact GPS coordinates are then posted on the Internet.

Anyone with a GPS and a sense of adventure is invited to try their hand at finding them. When you find one, take any trinket you like from the cache and leave one of your own to keep the cache full. There are caches of all kinds for all ages, making geocaching a wonderful family activity.

If you'd like to join in the fun it's easy (and free). If you already own a GPSr and have access to the Internet, then you have everything you need. Just logon to www.geocaching.com and check for caches in your area. (We live in southern Sydney and there are nearly 170 caches within 100 kilometres of our house!) So, go to the website and read more about geocaching. Then plug the coordinates of a cache near you into your GPSr, and go find it!

If you are using one of these clues, please ensure you have read all the instructions and done all the necessary decoding and research before you head off with your GPSr in your hot little hand. We have put a lot of thought into rating our caches honestly, so if it has a high difficulty rating please don't expect a half hour adventure.

Most Odlid caches (well at least the first five) involve nearby cliffs and rockfaces of some sort, so please take care and keep your Geokids and Geopets under control. Please return all cache containers to their correct hiding places. All caches were well hidden originally, so please take the time to conceal them well for the next geocacher.

  • This midi file contains the most recent clue information for the "Play it again, Sam" cache. Do not alter or rename this file in any way! To do so will render it useless!! All passwords are in upper case. "Play it again, Sam" is not an easy cache, it was designed to be a challenge to both new and old cachers alike. It makes absolutely no assumptions of the seekers capabilities or resources.

    Most of the research needed to solve the cryptic clues and knowledge based questions can be done via the internet, however when it comes to finding the final stash, all you can really do is use your magnetic personality and "Play it again, Sam". The first to find will be richly rewarded with a superb Odlid crafted trophy!!!

    Please read all the "Note" logs on the geocaching.com site. Special thanks to fractal and Ttepee's Tribe for inspiration and to datum for allowing us to reuse the cache name "Play it again, Sam".

  • If you have been racking your brains with "Play it again, Sam" or "Grounds for Pleasure" then this is the R&R cache for you. This is a straight forward hunt, definately no maths, no rhymes, no crpytic clues and only a bare minimum of thinking will be sufficent.

    Our eldest daughter turned 8 on Easter Monday and wanted to put in a cache to celebrate her birthday. She was let loose in the 2 dollar shop and the original contents of the cache reflect the fact she is a 8 year old girl!!! As usual the first to find will be richly rewarded with a superb Odlid crafted trophy!!! Oh, by the way, the trophy is not in the cache but you will find it within 10 metres of it.

    When preparing your swap items please bear in mind that the cache container is only a 120mm x 280mm round plastic screw top type and was fairly full on placement so in this case size does matter!!!!

(No File needed) 		Information for "The Incontinence Pad"

Difficulty 1 Terrain 2

  • Do your caches suffer from excessive condensation or the odd embarrasing small leak? Do your cache contents sweat like a pig and develop annoying mould, mildew or telltale stains?

    If you answered yes to any of these questions then you need our new improved silica gel "cachets". Just pop a couple of these into your next cache and watch your Sydney humidity blues disappear. The cache container is a 120mm x 200mm round plastic screw top type and was crammed full on placement with 7.8gram "cachets" of premium quality recycled silica gel. Please ensure that the top is screwed back on tightly, when you leave. Feel free to take as many as you like but remember that it may take us a couple of days to replenish the stocks, so please leave a few for the next finder and let us know when stocks get low.

    The cache is located near a busy high speed main road, there is plenty of off road parking but please be very careful leaving or entering the traffic stream.

    As usual the first to find will be richly rewarded with a superb Odlid crafted trophy!!! Oh, by the way, the trophy is not in the cache but you will find it within 10 metres of it. The cache is really intended as a supply depot, so please do not feel obliged to leave any swap items, if you must leave something please keep it small.

    There are some spectacular views from the nearby clifflines, but please take care especially at night as there are some decent drops about.

Difficulty 1.5 Terrain 1.5

  • Nothing terribly difficult here. Great views, great drive, a little exercise, what more do you want in a cache??!!

    The cache container is a 120mm x 200mm round plastic screw top type and was crammed full on placement with the usual cache stuff. Please ensure that the top is screwed back on tightly, when you leave. The coordinates will take you to a place that declares Berry 9M we would suggest, that it is closer to 29m.

    As usual the first to find will be richly rewarded with a superb Odlid crafted trophy!!! Oh, by the way, the trophy is not in the cache but you will find it within a couple of metres of the cache.

    There are some spectacular views from the nearby lookouts, but make sure you bring your winter woollies if it is windy. The car park is locked between sunset and sunrise but it isn't too far to walk from the gate.
