Geocache Description:

A short Night multi cache: Short Description: find first WP1 and note SSS, project 125m east, look for two reflectors and note EEE, use these to find GZ.

Longer Description: First things first, take a seat and read through these notes (if you haven't already). Now is also a good time to start waving your torch around, if your torch is dim, it could be the batteries (have you got spares?). If you can't see the reflector from here you are off to a bad start, It's within view and less than 100m away. At WP1 you will find a single reflector up high in the tree, at the base of this tree at about knee height there is a dog tag with the last three digits for the southing coordinates we'll call these SSS.. write these down.. there will be a test later..

From this location project a waypoint 125m East.. the best route is to return to the mowed grass and continue south to where it is easier going.. Once at your projected waypoint you'll be able to see another reflector in a southeasterly direction.. It is behind a device that is designed to stop you from getting too close, you dont need to anyway.. (this will be obvious when you get there), follow this to a second reflector on a tree about 20-30m away, this one is very obscured, YES, its hard, so please dont say I didn't warn you. This second reflector / tree is the one you seek, again at about knee height is another dogtag with numbers, write these numbers down too (and pat the dog) these numbers are EEE..

Now go find the cache at: S 37° 46.SSS E 145° 08.EEE.. there are no more refectors, enjoy..

Under the lid is a letter and a number (Eg. K=4) Take note of this, it'll be useful in the not too distant future.. The initial contents are some playing cards, a mini rubiks cube, a pen and some other random bits and pieces which escape the confines of my memory..

Please advise in your online log if these reflectors are deteriorating over time. I'd planned this one to be short and simple, however discovered that it wasn't as simple as I'd intended.. if my instructions dont make sence please feel free to make a suggestion in your logs.

Whats with the cache name I hear you ask: I overheard J Melb, messing up the word order of the name of this park, M Melb was quick to point out that mum always gets this bit wrong... I know don't what talking he was about.. :)
