Geocache Description:

May we suggest that you please use hand sanitiser before and after finding this cache - thanks 😊 For the past 7 years JMelb has taken a photo of MMelb and his cousins (let's call them SMelb and BMelb) sometime in November/December of each year, which has then been made into the following year's calendar - for the kids' Grandparents (and copies made for us as well!!)

The first one in 2003 was taken in the cousin's backyard but that background was a bit boring!!

So after that the photos were taken in various spots around THIS location in ...

2004

2005

(it was raining too much in 2006 when the cousins were together so it was taken inside)

2007


2008 was taken at the nearby more well known part of Antonio Park across Edgerton roadover towards Deep Creek Rd

(and in 2009 it was taken at Schwerkoltz Cottage just for a complete change)

Easiest parking/walking access to the cache is at S 37 48.685 E 145 12.468 however there are many different access points to this part of the park that you can use to make it a longer walk

Can you spot the trees where we took all the above photos?

Anyway while you are here why dont YOU find a spot to take some family photos too!!?? You can traipse up either side of the valley from the little creek - it's pretty steep going up on the west side of the creek - that was where we went in 2004!! Probably terrain 2.5-3 but it's not too far! You can post your photo with your log if you wish but you don't have to :-)

The various different trees make fantastic backgrounds but of course there's a downside to trees to as we cachers all know..........!! So.........as you can imagine getting an accurate fix under all the trees was tricky - we went there 3 times and took a few readings each time and EVERY reading was different, so we have averaged the readings!!!! Good luck!!

It was quite wet on the way to GZ when we placed this cache (August 2010) so wear appropriate footwear ............ (and just shake your head at the evidence of someone having driven down the incline near GZ where cars are clearly NOT meant to go!!!!!) :-(

CONGRATULATIONS to Datruk for the FTF and SO COOL to have re-connected with dolly2cv6 via this cache!!! :-) :-) :-)
