Geocache Description:

THE LISTED COORDS ARE NOT FOR THE CACHE LOCATION, but are for the entrance to the road leading to the PARKING COORDS located near the fishing pond in Newtown Recreational Park. The Park is closed from dusk until 6am, so if you are here during that time you may attract unwelcome attention. In the warmer months the Park is a very busy place so stealth is a necessity.

This is a log-only cache so bring your own pen or pencil.

To locate the cache you will have to solve for N38 0A.BCD W075 3E.FGH
