Deanei Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

The listed coordinates are one point you can begin this cache.
Deanai Reserve is a small pocket of bushland near Springwood's
industrial area. The sound of cars and industry is never far
away.
Despite this the reserve offers a small but beautiful setting, with
many Turpentine Trees and Bluegums. The name of the reserve comes
from the scientific name for the Bluegum, Eucalyptus deanei.
This cache is suitable for young children. The walk to the various
waypoints is about a kilometre in total along established bush
tracks. All tracks are marked and the gradient is never very steep.
Some tracks, however, are quite faint. For this reason my
suggestion is to start at the listed coordinates where the track is
most defined and follow the track about in a clockwise
direction.
While gathering the information at the waypoints you may wish to
also read about the interesting geological features of this reserve
and the variety of plants and trees that have grown here as a
result of the layering of bedrock in different sections, running
down the hill. At the two other available entry points for this
cache you will find more detailed information signs that explain
the unusual features of this reserve, although information is not
needed from these signs to complete the cache.
To complete this cache you will need to visit the six waypoints.
Each waypoint has an information sign from which you need to get
some numbers to calculate the cache location. The cache is hidden
not far off an established track. Its coordinates can be
represented by:
S 33 41.G
E 150 34.H
