Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at the provided co-ordinates.


"Have you seen this phone bill? It's a bit high this month!" asked bee1.

"No, what's the main contributor?" replied bee2.

"International Calls," answered bee1.

"Oh yeah, Bee3 and Bee4 told me they were going to keep in touch with the Jones' children from next door. They went overseas during the mid year break," explained bee2.

"They are all calls to mobile phones!" exclaimed bee1.

"That would explain all the photos of mobile phones the Jones' children sent to bee3 and bee4," explained Bee2.

Bee2 continued on, "They are pictures of the phones the Jones were using when bee3 & Bee4 called them."

"Haven't bee3 and bee4 heard of twitter, facebook, myspace, IM, SMS and e-mail for communicating.

I am going to hide their mobile phones, net books and MP3 players until they work out how to use them," replied bee1.


These are some of the photos the Jones' children sent and the places they were using them.
Can you find the spot where bee1 hid their phones, net books and MP3 players? (please leave them in the cache).

There is an area to park about 180m from the cache. You can following the walking paths from there. There are no signs, just guide posts to mark the paths. While in the area, have a look around to see if you can find the various forms of modern artwork.

Update 3 Nov 2013 - cache back in original location and it's a whole lot easier to get to these days.
