Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates a fake! There is no cache there!

Ahhhh…the serenity!

You will need to solve the nonogram (aka paint by numbers) to obtain the correct coordinates that will lead you to the cache booty which is just off a bush track near Murchison.


The rules of nonograms are simple.
You have a grid of squares, which must be either filled in black or marked with X.

Beside each row of the grid are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares on that row.

Above each column are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares in that column.

Your aim is to find all black squares.

There has to be at least one blank square between the runs of black squares.

The black squares will tell you were the cache is hidden.

Make sense?
Cool!

The area to the cache can get a little muddy when wet and will increase the terrain rating. If you are a little worried you can park near the entry and enjoy the short walk to GZ.


Take note of the large tree near GZ that surprisingly is still standing despite its very hollow centre.
I almost expected to see a young Sam Gribley stick his head out!


The cache container is a 1.2 litre Sistema container.

Contents include log book and pen.

Original swaps include:
Power Bits, Craft stick-ons, Van Morrison CD, Hair Ties, Flashing Nemo, Matchbox Car, Face Towel, Teddy, Smax Toy, and TB - Wombat Wanderer.
