Geocache Description:

This is the twenty first in a series of caches called “Not Drowning, Caching”, which explores Phillip Island; each cache contains a letter and number clue, which you will need to use to find the final in the series - please write down the clue then leave it in the cache!

Please keep to designated tracks, there is no need to leave the track at any time during the cache

These spots are major tourist areas, so the difficulty might increase with muggle infestation.
