A Tribute to the Expedition of Burke and Wills Multi-Cache
Devil Winds: Well, this cache has run it's course. It has lost its multi status because of muggles and it just doesn't get hit very often. Not to worry, a new TCS cache will be in its place soon...

To truly appreciate the expedition alluded to in the cache name,
refer to Bill Bryson’s book, In A Sunburned Country, pages
28-31.
And the only reason for a 2.5 difficulty is an inability to get
coordinates better than 15 feet at either stage, due to heavy tree
cover.
Dear Cachers,
I regret to inform you that the expedition has come to a premature
end due to the expiration of all explorers, save one. The lone
returning member of the exploration party, TeddyR, has apparently
gone insane - in other words, he has lost his marbles. It is quite
difficult to ascertain what exactly transpired, as the interview
with our lone survivor appears to have provided us with nothing
more than incoherent ramblings.
Of three things I am certain: the explorers were woefully
unprepared for the terrain, the explorers were unbelievably ill
rationed, and the large bite mark on TeddyR's forehead is a mark
the likes of which I have never seen before.
Of consequence is the following piece of information, gathered
from a note in TeddyR’s pocket. There appears to have been some
sort of “treasure” acquired by the party that was successfully
hidden in an area of inhospitable and unknown terrain. Please send
a search party to the location at once to secure the artifacts and
possibly provide us with a clearer picture of the fate of the
party.
Regards,
Bernoulli
P.S. After analyzing the aforementioned bite to the forehead, it
appears that the bite was responsible for TeddyR’s loss of mental
faculty. It should return shortly.
*On a side note, I just found out that fishing in the pond requires
no license.
