Geocache Description:


Tidbinbilla Tranquillity Geocache starts at The Sanctuary in Tidbinbilla. It is a tranquil place! This area was only recently opened, but it is already quite impressive! I’ve been here twice already, and I can’t wait to come back from time to time, to see how it’s progressing! If you come on a weekend, there is a good chance you will run into some of the volunteers who are happy to provide you with information!
The gates to this area are only open between 9.00am and 6.00pm, or 9.00am and 8.00pm during daylight savings! – Please do not come outside these hours!
The cache itself is not located inside the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, and can be accessed at any time.

This is a multi-cache. At the start coordinates you need to find the item identified in picture TT01. Once found, you need to answer the question relating to location 1. After that, you need to follow the Sanctuary loop in a clockwise direction, and find all the items in the remaining pictures. Each time, you need to answer the relative question, and then enter the answer in the “Ans” column.

To assist in finding each location, the distance in metres (as the crow flies) from the previous location is given. At no stage do you need to leave the provided path. – Please enjoy the walk, and take some time to observe all the other information provided along the way.

Of course, the cache itself is not on a path, but in another tranquil location!

Once done, you can find the cache at: south 35° AB.CDE, east 148° FG.HIJ

Checksums are as follows: south: 39, east: 38.
