This cache uses an area of bushland that had a number of previous
caches-"Bush Basho" and " Hey dude where is my car". The caches
were removed due to a bush fire reduction controlled burn.The area
has now rejuvenated and is ready for caching.
The given coordinates are not the final cache location but the beginning of an adventure! -Here you must find your first clue.
Remember -accuracy is important-beware of magnetic fields when using compasses!!
Parking at the beginning is limited but ample parking can be found up or down the road.
This cache hunt will take you for a walk of about 3km, before the actual cache is located. You will need to be observant along your way as questions will be asked at some point. Your answers will be needed to locate the cache. At the cache you will also have one more task before actually completing the hunt .You will be requested to write a *Haiku poem to remember this day and in memory of the original cache that was here - "Bush Basho".It would also be interesting to have this , or another, included in the published logs.
Depending on the time of year and past weather conditions, you may have to walk a lot further or get wet and muddy. After the burn the area has recovered well and vegetation is flourishing especially the lantana which has grown prolifically.
Most of the waypoints are accessible via paths or animal tracks, although some are not, and cross country efforts will be required. As people are unlikely to use the same ‘track’ twice I don't think any new paths will develop.
You may wish to wear long pants as some areas are infested with bladey grass which tends to scratch the legs a bit. As it is a bushland setting you will encounter native fauna a plenty as well as some of the less desirable critters. (Seasonally dependant-snakes and ticks etc.)
It may be of assistance to you if you bring a compass and a sense of humour...
The cache name derives from the fact that a certain cacher vowed to dispense with the use of a GPSr and only go caching by postcode. Arghh-a treat for all!
