This cache has been archived.

The A-Team: It's time to put this series to rest. Most of it lasted almost 11 years, so it had a good run. This container has been removed. The final will remain in place for a short time so anyone who hadn't found it yet can do so.

Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series highlighting invasive species in the CRD. Many of these species are now so common, you probably see them every day. Some are damaging, others are a nuisance, but none are native to Victoria. Each cache will contain one digit in the coordinates for the final, GC2VRDP.
All caches are 1 litre, 5”x8”x2.5” Lock’n’Locks.
