We all know Shrek lived in a swamp and that he liked to be left alone, perhaps he was guarding a secret hidden treasure. At the above coordinates if you look around you will see something built each side of the path leading into the park.

What are they made of?
If the answer is :

  • Wood, then A = 344
  • Rocks, then A = 355
  • Brick, then A = 366

Now head off to the nearby Wooden Work and find the plastic bumpy slide.
If the slide is:

  • Blue then B = 994
  • Brown then B = 974
  • Green then B = 984

Shrek’s treasure is hidden at:
S38° 03 A
E145° 14.B
