Geocache Description:

On a local creek trail with easy walking access.

The Hellards have finally placed their first cache. It is located along a local trail, popular with the Hellard Family and other local dog walkers.

A short walk around the trail and collecting clues from information boards describing the local fauna will yield the cache in no time.

At the posted co-ordinates you will be standing at a sign.
A = the first digit in the distance to the creek trail
B = the second digit in the distance to the station
C = 2 x A
D = B – A
E = How far you would go to the station and back

Take a short walk to a second sign at:
S 37° 51.307 E 145° 03.577

Look to the structure that carries the power.
How many strands stop you climbing the tower?
F = Answer divided by 2

A little maths to complete the directions to a small structure at :
S 37° 51.AEC E 145° 03.BCB

To the friends of the creek this park has been granted.
There are many more trees that need to be planted.
When the creek is improved and the water made clean,
the birds and the fish will return to the stream.
Indeed the deeds on display show tangible proof,
but for the answer you need, count the boards on the roof.

G = Answer - 4

Complete your maths a make further short stroll will take you to the cache at
S 37° 51.AFE E 145° 03.BBG

Please be careful with the extraction and re-hiding of the cache as this path is very popular with the Muggle Folk and their pets.
