Geocache Description:


*****THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LISTED COORDINATES*****

 

This cache is called “Bendigo Back to Nature”.

 

I was cruising around the country side, admiring the beautiful bush setting, knowing full well that there was a major city not far away, yet still couldn’t believe where I was.

I suddenly came across the hide at GZ.  So, slamming on the brakes, I reversed back to double check that I had seen what I had.

 

The hide is magnificent, just what I have been looking for to use one of our larger caches, and what better setting than out here.

 

The peace, tranquillity, the wind blowing through the trees, the smell of nature.  Imagine the stars you could see out here at night, with no city lights to stuff it up.

 

GZ is on a main dirt road, so not exactly sure what it will be like in the wet, but I don’t think it would be too bad, but take care anyways.

 

This cache when you find it has a THEME, which I am sure you will figure out.

 

The cache container and hide might shock some of you because of the size of them both.

 

You will find in the cache a container for TB’s and Geocoins that are in need of a relaxing rest after covering so many miles.

 

You will also find in the cache a unique LOG and the PEN that you will need to USE to sign the log.

 

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE LOG OR THE PEN FOR ANY REASON.

 

PLEASE REPLACE THE LOG IN THE BAG PROVIDED AND MAKE SURE IT IS SEALED PROPERLY.

You will understand why I ask of this when you find the cache, AND PLEASE SIGN SMALL ON THE LOG. NO STICKERS OR STAMPS ARE GOING TO WORK ON THIS LOG< SO PLEASE DON'T TRY.

 

The SWAPS in this cache are themed, so please NO OTHER SWAPS if you cannot stick to the theme.
