Geocache Description:


Owen and Mitchell went to play
Up on the fort to spy on the enemy.
What did they see, what was needed to report?
A message in English? No, morse code, they thought.

We’re surrounded, send help, our supplies are low,
Please be quick, we’re hot, and sweat’s on our brow.
The sun beat down, the mirror flashed,
The message was sent, but would help arrive?

A flash from the park, Dad went to see
What the message entailed, what could it be.
We’re hot and we’re hungry and we know Mum baked,
please send cake and a coke...
no wait, make it a shake.
Dad was a sport, he played along
He messaged back, I’m coming, be strong!
He cut the cake, he mixed the shake,
He crossed the road, the "siege" to break.

But Owen and Mitchell were never supplied
As disaster befell Dad, on his way to their hide.
He trips on a root, the tray up it rushes,
And the cake and shake flew into the bushes.

You are looking for the temporary replacement cache of 200ml with stashnote, new log and pencil. Sorry about the smaller size but it does fit better and hopefully will be more water tight that the original. Not much room for swaps now unfortunately. Original will be back when fixed.
Trees do interfere with GPS.
