Geocache Description:


An event with a twist - gift exchange

And at the same time get away from the retail madness of Christmas!

4pm to sunset
 COME PREPARED!





AND on the twelfeth day of CHRISTMAS, my caching buddy gave to me....
Twelve satellite signals,
Eleven ammo boxes,
Ten thorny bushes,
Nine water bottles,
Eight urban nanos,
Seven streams a-crossing,
Six film micros a-sticking hard
Five geo-coins!
Four travel bugs,
Three flash lights,
Two CITO bags,
and a 5/5 I still can't find!


THIS IS A CHRISTMAS GIFT EXCHANGE CACHE
 A large cache will be located at this waypoint.
Drop your caching Christmas gift (wrapped) into the cache, and retrieve one gift to take.
ONE FOR ONE - simple rule of sharing and consideration


OPTIONAL - - - Add a little Christmas decoration to the adjacent bush

SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
1. Prepare a caching Christmas gift between the value of $10 and $20. Wrap it in Christmas theme. Remember this is SUMMER! and the box will be in the sun. CHOCOLATE is NOT a good idea

2. Find the box - chat to others that visit.!

3. Log yourself in the logbook, so we can verify your online log later.

4. PLACE your gift in the box, and select one of the already wrapped gift items in exchange.

5.LINGER awhile and SHARE some Christmas nibbles in the garden - through the black gate - (Only available during the official event time) BYO drinks.

ENJOY the chances of meeting others, and have a little Christmas fun!

THIS EVENT IS PLACED WITH CONSIDERATION TO PLANTS. Please do not damage the garden.


WHY TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS?
 The original idea was to list the event over the 12 days leading up to Christmas, BUT
as you can guess, it does not fit within GC guidelines....
We realise not all will be able to attend at the exact event time, but would still like to participate in the gift exchange............SO
the cache container will be available from FRIDAY 17th, 8am until Wednesday 22nd December, 7pm
SUNLIGHT HOURS ONLY
Please write in the log book as usual. SOME neighbours are aware of this, but if driving a van, please do not park on the drive, or BOGES and FREEZER MICE might have to visit you! In uniform, that is.
Consideration to not looking suspicious is appreciated.

ho, ho, ho !


OR
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me twelve huge sistema boxes,
eleven compasses bearing,
ten rolls of camo tape,
nine satellites leaping,
eight locationless caches,
seven Mickey D toys,
a 6-pack of batteries.
Five working days off!
Four ammo cans,
three travel bugs, two topo maps
and the coordinates to that elusive pear tree!
