Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is located in the Waite Conservation Reserve and
will not be available during times of high fire danger.
There is also a high snake danger in the summer months.

In summer, I’d leave the kids home for this one.

The cache is best accessed by taking a jaunt up Wild Dogs Glen.
Parking can be accessed at the same point suggested for “Waite Vista” and “A Dingo’s Got My Cache” at 34 58.292 138 38.446.

After that, I’ll let you figure out your own strategy to get it.
Attacks from either below or above each have their own pros and cons. Which ever way you decide, please use an unusual amount of common sense.
If you come from above, the terrain in the vicinity of the cache is very steep/vertical and much of it is shale rock, which has the potential to be fatal.

You are looking for a metal container that looks as though it would house a German WWII ‘stick’ grenade, painted black. (same as “Hannaford’s Rest”) Please ensure that the waterproof cap is in place before screwing the lid back on.

Don’t forget to explore the rock face in the vicinity of the cache. I wanted to put it in the obvious feature (the “Fox’s Lair”), but there are footprints and other evidence of muggle activity in it and nowhere to hide anything.
