To Climb a Tree 2 Multi-Cache
Ngaambul: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

When I was a little tacker, many moons ago, there used to be heaps of trees around to climb (and fall out of). In these days of litigation, most councils have removed the lower limbs making it difficult to start a climb, so protecting the young from a possible accident.
If you feel this is a good idea, then possibly this cache is not for you. However if you have one or two young cachers (is that a word?) who like scrambling over things, they may enjoy this challenge.
There is a park in Williamstown that faces south, collecting all the winter storms. Several of the trees in this park have grown up almost lying down (or at least with a sizable lean) making them easy to scramble over.
I have selected three trees of increasing difficulty and have hidden clues for the next cache tree in them. All the clues are almost in plain view, but you will have to climb to read them. Because of the problems with GPS signals amongst trees, the way points are for the tree, not necessarily for the cache.
All the trees are within an easy walk. You might like to bring the geodog as some of the park is off lead.
The degree of difficulty comes from the number of dog walking muggles that frequent this park.
Just a note to those who have done the previous incarnation, GZ has moved, considerably!
1. The Easiest Tree
This tree is just low and bushy with lots of branches to search.
2. Out on a Limb
This was where the second tree was, but someone chipped it!
I think a minute's silence would be appropriate.
Now, nearby is a table, next to this table (east side) is a tree with a yellow bucket part of the way up.... Just joking. The tree you need is on the west side.
Not so many branches, but a bit further off the ground. You will need to go out on a limb for this one (but not far off the ground).
3. Up, Up, and Away
This is the tallest tree (and the most upright). The cache is about 3 meters from the ground - just out of reach (for Partic). The slight slope on the trunk, coupled with several good hand and foot holds, make the climb easy but just high enough to be challenging. Good Luck.
4. The Cache Tree
Another tree with the new GZ. Can you see it from the ground?
