I have opted for a cache with a difference. For this cache you will need to underake a short trivia quiz. All the answers to the questions can be found on the main Victoria State Emergency Service homepage (a great source for emergency information). The link has been provided and there is more than ample parking to park the car while you visit the web site. Alternatively, figure this one out at home, come to ground zero and find the cache.
Unlike most puzzle caches, the answer is not a set of coordinates...
