Geocache Description:

The given co-ordinates will take you to a park in Bluegum Road. The park contains a number of heritage protected gums but sadly you are unlikely to see any koalas.

You will need to traverse the park to gather the information needed to locate the cache’s hiding place.

GZ is visible to passing muggles and the building may have people at some function so a degree of stealth is required. When setting the cache I used the ruse of photographing the trees and tuis
(koala photographing may arouse suspicion)

Please replace the cache container so it isn’t visible to prying eyes.
