The concept of a letterbox has always intrigued me, but I do not see a lot of them around. This is my first attempt at a letterbox, so excuse the elementary writeup, I am no Red Rose. I will try in get better in the future.


When you arrive at the given coordinates, you will see a rock, which dedicates this park to the brave firefighters of Litchfield, past, present, and future. Head north from this rock till take a seat where a former Fire Chief is located.



Once you are here, there is an obvious way to go to the NE. Make the crossing and continue on till you see a large bush in a wooden box. Turn east here continue to this fence or bench, I am not sure which. Here you have a great photo opportunity of a the Litchfield dam.



After taking your photos, the little ones may like to swing. Head at a bearing of around 110 degrees and you will find a swing set. Two of these are not horses, go to the one on the east side. Now follow its heading (I would not recommend a gunner), till you see a tree line. Here you will find a prize.


I hope you have enjoyed this letterbox, any suggestions for improvement are more than welcome.
