Geocache Description:

This cache is simple offset multi with a nice stroll across fairly flat ground, through the Yankee Hat area. Enjoy the walk.

This cache was placed while Shell and I were bushwalking in the area. We had originally planned on a cache location a little higher but the weather put a stop to that so we decided why not place a nice little multi that shares the area. A loop of the area is about 10km and can be done in around 3 hours while caching your way along.

This cache container is a container I removed from Bread and Buda(wang) for The Spindoctors, it seemed only fitting it was placed in a bush environment.

At the posted coordinates you should find a sign outlining the highlights of the area. Answer the following questions to work out the GZ

The date of the first European to record the Ngunnawal word Namadgi = ABCD
Evidence of aboriginal camping in the area dates back E00 years?
The Yankee Hat Rock Art site is F km away
The walk listed as number 4 is GH one way, and is recommended to take J hours.
The feature listed to the west of the rock art site is listed as KLMN high.

The cache is located at,
S 35 DJ.A(G-K)L E 148 (B-C)(D+M).H(N-E-G)F

Checksum. S26 E28

FTF honours go to winglen & McPhan
