This is the first step in the Templestowe Reserve series (as yet half complete) that will take the dedicated Jeeker on a tour of our park.
TR1 is around the first Scout group established in Templestowe (1959).
This is designed to be a training facility for cub-scouts (7-11 year-olds) in the Manningham District to introduce them to Geocaching (hence the descriptive headers and the attached worksheet- free to download and use).
For the broader community they can be attempted in sequence, but they don't have to be. I'll be making the rest of them active one by one over the course of 2012.
