Geocache Description:

An easy, accessible, family-friendly cache showcasing Lennox District Gardens, and the friendship with Canberra's sister city - Nara

Lennox Gardens is an eclectic, quirky and beautiful park on the southern shores of Lake Burley Griffin. As well as a formal English garden area, there are three olive trees and a Japanese-themed garden - Nara Gardens

This could have been a traditional ammo box cache but then it would have just been a snatch and grab. So I have decided to make you "sing for your supper" - i.e. answer some questions and calculate the GZ coords.

You get to have a look around at this lovely spot. Bring the kids in warmer weather for a barbeque or to watch wedding photo shoots.

Since the park is so idiosyncratic, I have decided to add a wildlife micro-section - at least in the initial contents of the cache - perhaps some animals escaped from Zippity Zoo - LOL!

Ok, so off you go to the additional waypoints and gather the answers at each one. Enjoy!

On request from paper-less cachers, I have put the additional waypoints also into the main listing....

A nice little house with a thatched roof.
Please re-thatch the roof fully when finished
and make sure that I am well-camouflaged again. This is really important to ensure it is not muggled! Thank you for your consideration.

Oh yes, and all the usual remonstrations about watching out for muggles and stealth.
